⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[xzone]

It seems certain that Rafa Silva will be leaving. There is talk of him returning to Benfica. Serdal Adalı have asked for a 15 million Euro transfer fee for him. Benfica, however doesn't want to pay this amount. Rui Costa wants him, but they cannot afford it. Mourinho is also reportedly open to his arrival. If Rafa is leaving, I think he should go for at least 15 million Euro. Otherwise, Beşiktaş won't be able to replace him. Sending the team's best player in January is a very illogical move, but it seems there are no other options.

I think it would be a huge mistake if he goes for less than €15 million. This team is already in a financial crisis; they can't be considered particularly wealthy. At the very least, this transfer should be valuable; letting go of a quality player for free would be a real shame.
Beşiktaş needs to make a few more signings; I think they need quality, affordable Turkish players. The scouting team needs to work harder

If there no hope for Rodrygo to become a regular at Real Madrid, it's better to move. It shouldn't be a burden, because Rodrygo is a good player. I think there are several top clubs interested in him, as you mentioned, like Liverpool. If Liverpool can give him a starting spot, it's better for him to go straight to Liverpool. Liverpool is also a top team, so there no need to worry about his future, as he still secure at Liverpool if he continues to improve.

In the previous transfer season Liverpool had been watching Rodrygo and wanted him to play for them but Real Madrid still wanted to keep him and now the situation is different, so there is an opportunity for Liverpool to re-approach the player and at the same time a good opportunity for the Brazilian because if he continues to be in the hands of Xabi he will lack playing minutes. The problem is that Rodrygo price is quite high and with the condition that Rodrygo is currently facing Liverpool might think twice about spending that much money for January considering they have invested heavily in the transfer yesterday.

Interesting news. Karim Adeyemi is a really good talent honestly. He is still only 23 years old. His market value is 60 million euros now but I wonder how much Dortmund would demand for him...

Kovac didn't give him much of a playing time in their last 2 Bundesliga games interestingly. I didn't see any injury situation either. Maybe there is a problem or just to rest after a Champions League week?

If Arsenal and Manchester United both enter the race I think Arteta would win it.

We all know Xabi's interest in his former student, Wirtz. If Liverpool wants him, they should use him in a swap. They'd avoid paying a steep transfer fee and might even get some extra cash. This way, they could swap the German player they're not getting any benefit from for the Brazilian. Rodrygo could become a player capable of achieving great things for Liverpool. Such a transfer might be possible.

If Adeyemi join Arsenal, for sure he will stay at bench, worse than he playing for Dortmund.

I think Arsenal is too panic because they lost many forwards and they might worried if they don't have enough players for substitution. Many of the players will back in late November, there's no need to sign Adeyemi.

However, if I were Adeyemi I would choose neither of them, we know Manchester United will destroy someone else career.

I thought that Rodrygo have learnt from Rashford, Anthony and Gnarcho cases. They weren't in their best performance in United but the moment they left the club to a new club, their performance improved and they picked form.

Rodrygo should try a new club if things ain't working out for him in Madrid. He's young and skillful which makes it easy for him to be signed by a big club.

Napoli's problems are clear. I don't understand the bookmakers' either excessive pessimism or excessive optimism. I don't remember exactly, but it seems that at the beginning of the season Inter was rated as badly as Napoli is now, even before those first defeats. Inter are on a good run of games, they haven't lost for a long time, but I wouldn't be too sure that the slump won't return. Last season they were doing well too, they were aiming for the treble, but in the end they lost everything.

They've really dropped points but it's not too bad, atleast they're still in a position that would be easier for them to catch up with other contender, although I don't see Inter Milan as a team that would slow down any time soon, they'll tend to be very consistent in winning.

 Inter Milan has given more attention to the Champions league in the previous seasons but it seems that they don't want to miss out completely on every trophies that's why they're doing their best to be very consistent.

27 round left in this season while many changes are going to be happened because top teams are also involved in Champions League but situation is still interesting because AS Roma and Inter Milan both are doing good job and AC Milan and Napoli in hunt which making thing entertaining.

Inter Milan have lethal attack which are giving them sizable results even their defense is not as they needed in top teams while AS Roma is looking not competitive despite having good results in early rounds they needed to be had changed into their strategy. Currently, Napoli facing some issues with injuries, but they still can-do things which will give surprise into coming rounds four teams on same level in Italian league is always impressive to watch.

Adeyemi's favorite position is in the right wing. It's impossible to sign him, then sacrifice Saka or Madueke on that position for him. Although he can also play as LW, i don't think Arsenal is also willing to sacrfice Trossard or Martineli in that position too.

I'm sorry, but his transfer to Arsenal seems unrealistic to me.

It depends on who needs the player the most that will take the lead in signing Adeyemi. Even if Adeyemi is playing regularly, it doesn't stop him from attracting interest from other clubs. Arsenal already have players in that position that Adeyemi play so it will be another factor for Adeyemi to consider before deciding on his next move. Adeyemi would like to move to a club were he will be playing regularly and also get a good pay. At the moment Manchester United will give Adeyemi more playing time than Arsenal.

Beşiktaş has lost its most important player, in my opinion. It is reported that Rafa Silva wanted to leave because he was unhappy at the club. This is a classic reason, but there may be other reasons behind it.

According to some speculation, there was tension between Rafa and Sergen Yalçın because Rafa did not follow the instructions given by Sergen during training sessions. The departure of players Rafa got along with in the past may also have contributed to his unhappiness. I believe Rafa Silva should have been retained for the team, but the opposite happened. There were even rumors that Rafa Silva might retire from football, but it now seems likely he will move to Benfica.

Rafa Silva is acting like childish because he is having few things under his clause which are creating problems Sergen Yalçın wants him to be engaged with training sessions and other things which will increase performance of player and club but it's no happening, and he is clearly indicating he wants to leave soccer right now.

Besiktas president in talk with him but nothing positive is coming which is surely serious trouble for them because Besiktas President already saying their team is all set with Rafa Silva in case he left things could be not favourable which are not able to afford so he needs to stay till end of season still deadlock and no positive reports are coming last threat from Besiktas president Serdal Adali is interested he wants 15 Million Euro from Rafa Silva if he wants to leave right now.

Rodrygo was not smart in my opinion. Endrick too. It was obvious for all to see that they are not a major part of the coach's plans. They should have known that they would just be squad players if they stayed. The Club World Cup was evident enough. The problem is, they wanted a turnaround story. They wanted to stay and fight for a place and change the coach's mind. What they fail to understand is that you can only change the mind of a coach who gives you the opportunity to.

I wouldn't put endrick in that bracket like Rodrygo because he is still a kid that thought that his time will come, unlike Rodrygo that should have used his tongue to count his teeth earlier.

I don't think Rodrygo is such a spectacular player, but people rate him higher than he actually is, and that is the problem. The same goes for Endrick too. They're both good players, but they're not "world beaters".

Your sentiment about them both are valid, they are good, but not exceptional as real Madrid are making it looks like, and that is why Rodrygo find it difficult to secure a move to Liverpool that showed interest in him last summer. It's too bad for them both that they are likely going to miss out on making Brazil final list to the world cup.

In a way I can understand that for a player is difficult to leave Real Madrid, especially for someone like Rodrygo because he is 24 years old, and he's not the type of player that you usually loan to some other team, so he probably knows that if he leaves Madrid there is no return ticket for him. At the same time he should be honest with himself and admit that he's simply not good enough for them and he is wasting the prime years of his career. It's going to be interesting to see what is going to happen in January because if he chooses to stay and he still doesn't play he could really miss the World Cup. Is he really willing to take such risk?

Rodrygo is not the problem and the current situation with Xabi has nothing to do with his performance it's just the manager personal preference - he doesn't rate Rogrygo and he's not part of his project. At least he was honest about it.

He has done his part for the Madrid side but he needs to accept his fate and make a move this January to save his Brazil World cup hopes. Of course by accepting a huge pay cut to make it possible.

Rodrygo is in pretty good shape, he knows what he wants but what happened to him? He's a patriotic player for Real Madrid, he's unwilling to move to any club last summer because he believed he could fight for his place in the Madrid team but unluckily for him, Xabi Alonso doesn't find him competitive and competent to handle a role in his starting XI. Most of the time, he starts the Brazilian from the bench and that's not helping matters for the player. This is my kind advice to Rodrygo, leave Santiago Bernabéu and move to a more better team where his presence will be highly valued.

I don’t think Napoli struggles is down to Anguissa getting injured, I think we have Kelvin De Bruyne injured as well, and that doesn’t mean they don’t have a good replacement, those players can be replaced, last season they had a good season and won the league, but the truth is every season is different and have their own challenges, the Scudetto seems to be very competitive this season, we have AC Milan, Inter Milan, and AS Roma who is being rejuvenated by Gaspirini who is doing a good job, and I like to see AS Roma win the Scudetto.

I don't often see Serie A competitive with quite s number of teams competing for the league because some will gradually fall off, it's a common thing there but a few others [about three] compete almost to the end.

Napoli issues is not only injuries struggles which will be more difficult now with another key player getting out for long but they have next than two months, which covers in general about 10 gamed, to struggle before the January transfer window in order to strengthen their team again.

Such a transfer might be possible.

I think that's a very good idea and everyone involved would benefit from a swap. I'm just afraid that Liverpool won't get any money for Wirtz so it would be a 1:1 swap for Rodrygo without Real Madrid paying any extra. They simply paid too much to Leverkusen and Wirtz can't perform at the level anybody would expect for the transfer fee. Rodrygo on the other hand could finally get his playing time at Liverpool! Wirtz meanwhile would have the chance to return to his old form with his former coach Xabi.

Inter Milan has given more attention to the Champions league in the previous seasons but it seems that they don't want to miss out completely on every trophies that's why they're doing their best to be very consistent.

Napoli should give up their attention in the Champions League and focus on the Italian league. They have been very poor this season in the Champions League, not winning any game; rather, they kept on giving points to the English side.

They have huge luck in the league. The difference between them and the first three positions in the table is 2 points and a goal difference. Anything that makes Napoli continue this way, Inter will win the title. Either Inter or Roma.

Napoli have four points in the Champions League after winning Sporting and drawing with Eintracht Frankfurt. The Italian side is still within the next round qualification stage (24th) with four points. I don't see any reason why they should give up on the most profitable tournament in Europe. If they can put their house in order, the club could still get good results that could make them go further in the tournament.

Conte certainly understands that the Champions League is more competitive than Serie A. However, Conte certainly won't give up easily, he will continue to strive to stabilize Napoli performance in every competition, despite the current injuries to several key players. I think Napoli will be able to compete closely with Inter Milan and AS Roma until the end of the season, and I think they still have a chance to retain the Scudetto.

He certainly has significant potential at other clubs, is still young, has excellent skills, and has a good track record. However, at Real Madrid, his playing time is indeed quite limited. Several clubs have been linked with him, but none have been verified so far.

Anyway, these days, players are often the subject of speculation for top clubs regarding their futures. Following Chelsea's recent deal for 16-year-old Deinner Ordóñez, now one of AZ Alkmaar's stars is also being targeted by several top clubs. However, he is already 19 years old, making him eligible to join a club immediately.

Chelsea Sporting directors are doing great jobs lately, they are not formally used to scouting young talents, their main focus is on players that have already established themselves in big clubs, but now, they are putting a lot of effort to continue the chase of young talents, the  players that are yet to be discovered, and these players will be cheaper than the players that is yet to be descoverd.

If Chelsea sign this young talented player, it will be the same thing they did as they signed Estivao, and with little time, Chelsea will be a team of young talented player and they will play really well then more than.
