⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Adbitco]

If Barcelona is really targeting Vlahovic for Lewa's replacement. I think they're crazy. As far as i can see Vlahovic has been terrible in goal productivity. Even though he will leave for free, but it's not worthy it considering how high his wage compared with his goal productivity.
Although with their current situation, Vlahovic seems the most realistic condition, but i think it's just another waste of money. what do you think?

Another signing rumour again concerning Barcelona, well after I read it and I saw free, I just said ok, this one will work since it's free, they wouldn't have problems getting him so long as the player agrees to play for them. Due to their financial constraints they are not able to make high fee signings so they will be doing free transfers and few millions as well for the main time until the are financially stable again just like years ago. I just laughed when I saw that rumour of Barcelona going to sign Haaland, Alvarez of Atletico Madrid and one other player like that, to me that's just a rumour that's not realistic but this very one is very realistic and Barcelona should be able to pull the strings and land him, afterall they are a big club and players will always be willing to play for big clubs.

If they are considering Vlahovic over Lewa then that means the overall cost of bringing him in is way lower than offering a new contract to Lewa. Pretty sure that Lewa gonna ask for a raise and Barcelona will negotiate with Vlahovic to reduce his wage so yeah eventually Vlahovic is way cheaper. Besides that, they dont really need a good striker upfront because the other players would be babysitting whoever they put up there.

But will Vlahovic be comparable to Lewandowski at Barcelona? In terms of experience, playing time, playing statistics, and achievements, as well as their abilities, the comparison is vastly different. Asking for a raise is reasonable for Lewandowski, as he has a reason to do so. A lower price for Vlahovic is also reasonable, as he lacks the same level of experience and accomplishments in the world of football.

It's safer to acquire Lewandowski, but for a better long-term opportunity to develop Vlahovic as a young player with potential, their financial situation is currently questionable, and management must take the right steps to avoid further missteps.

Transfer window opens tomorrow, hopefully Liverpool sign a couple of players to give us a strong chance of having a great second half of the season.

We could really do with a CB and maybe even a striker as Isak will be out for a while.

Do Liverpool really need to sign more players? they have a perfect squad already and they spent huge amount of money in last transfer window, if they sign more new players this transfer window i will consider it a financial mistake because they are not even in the title race, even in the Champions League they are still shaky but maybe that is where they can try to build up strength but the chances of them winning the Champions League is very tiny considering the performance of other top teams. Well, they can add a center back but for the attacking positions i don't think they need more strikers because Isak's absence is not even gonna affect the team.

How do you see this Liverpool as a perfect team? For me yes they have a good midfield but aside that they are not actually a complete team again. For me first thing is going back for Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace because both current center backs are just allowing goals to be shipped in, so as you have said a defense addition will be needed and also I think the right back position doesn’t look like it’s resolved totally in my opinion.

As for the attack with injury to Isak if it is for a very long time then the club has to once again go back to trusting Salah again right after he comes back for AFCON because they cannot depend on Ekitike and Gakpo only as senior attackers and if there is no way back for MO Salah then they might have to add new attacker because the league is still early as they still need to Chase the top four for next season’s Champions League football

I believe that Liverpool needs to sign some good defenders and also get into the team some creative midfielders. It is obvious that slot met some signings, but the question is how coherent are those signings and how effective are they. Liverpool is quite okay in the front but from the midfield to the defense is not proper.

I feel that Liverpool hasn't gotten perfect replacement of Alexander Arnold. If you check statistics very well, you will discover that Arnold gave Salah his highest assist even in his career. So, Salah has lost such a wonderful help. I pray for Liverpool to reconnect with Salah because they still have some beautiful future together.

Yes Liverpool need to sigh more players, especially in the defensive area, When you look at Liverpool defense you will understand that Liverpool are just 1 injury away from having a crisis in defensive area, Van Dijk and Konate are the available defenders, Gomez is injured and the young Leoni is injured, so Liverpool really need to sigh a defender to compete for the Top Four and the Champions League position, and they could also need a striker because Isak getting injured and Salah Leaving for the Nations Cup and Cody Gakpo also getting injured, Isak is already out for the season, they could sigh a winger who can play both striker and as a winger, if Ekitike gets injured that is all and everything is gone, because he is the only recognized striker.

Liverpool have to sigh some new players in this Winter Transfer window, and they need to sigh a Central defender and a Winger.

LFC_Bitcoin is right with his statement,  Liverpool need to buy more players in the Winter Transfer Window.

Barcelona and their love for free stuff is endless apparently. I have the feeling that they are stalking every free possibility without limit and without letting the other teams an opportunity to discuss with the player.
I understand that many players want to join Barcelona and that they have financial issues but for how long? If a player is available for free then it means that he is not fit for his team and the others with the exception of Mbappe or Lewandowski that chose to not renew their contracts because they wanted to join their future clubs.

It's a bit frustrating to see a big team unable to make big transfers and just waiting for free/loan players to join, but that's the way it is when Barcelona finances haven't really recovered and even now their president is getting into trouble that could possibly make the club finances even worse. Luckily they have the club big name to attract and the La Masia academy, otherwise we might see them in the relegation zone sometime in the future.
Now I heard that Vlahovic did agree to a free move to Camp Nou, but I don't think he can replace Lewa quality as a striker.

In my opinion, Barcelona are simply trying to work around their budget limitations by signing free agents or loan players, while still taking quality into consideration. I think if Barcelona management had other alternative options, they would certainly take them. Perhaps at the moment La Masia is also not producing young players who are ready to be promoted to the first team.

This issue will only be resolved once Barcelona spending restrictions are lifted. As long as Barcelona remain under these sanctions, I think their transfer policy will stay the same. The management will continue to prioritize signing free agents or loaning players from other clubs.

With the January transfer window knocking, looking at Liverpool's squad, it's hard to call it perfect. The midfield is slightly better, but the team suffers from a general lack of stability. Given the amount of money spent, is it normal to still need so many transfers?

Is it better to constantly patch up the squad, or to try to recoup the investment in the second half of the season? It seems they still need a few players to have a strong second season.

In my opinion, Liverpool must sign central defender players due weakness of that position and inconsistent performance from Virgil Van Dijk, I think his era almost over and Liverpool must prepare new youth central defender for regeneration team. Alexander Isak have out for several matches later but I don't think good ideas signing new striker replacing for his position just absent few matches only after getting injury last two matches ago against Tottenham Hotspur.

In the early season, Liverpool spent out almost 446 million euro to sign 5 top players and I think huge amount if sign new players for winter transfer window, I think an exceptional for signing new central defender because Liverpool has many goals conceded for this season.

My fears is that will he be able to impress as much with Manchester City and they also have a lot of wingers available; Healthy competition or benchwarming for some.

I'm also worried that Semenyo could become a starter if he moves to Manchester City, as he'll have to compete with Rayan Cherki for a starting spot. It seems unlikely that he'll replace Cherki, given his incredible performances. Even Savinho, previously Pep Guardiola's first-choice player, has been forced to settle for a place on the bench due to Cherki's incredible performances. So, if Semenyo does move to Manchester City, he'll be a substitute player.

I'm sure Pep Guardiola and Man City have already made plans for Semenyo to ensure he doesn't lack playing time if they succeed in signing him, he can also be used as a second striker partnering Haaland or providing assists. I consider him a versatile player and I believe this transfer should definitely happen. Semenyo is a quality player and it would be a shame if Man City couldn't secure his signature.

If Pep Guardiola and Manchester City intend to sign him, it means they have plans for this player and believe he might be a good fit for Man City. However, if the club manages to secure Semenyo signature, he must demonstrate his quality at the club, as this will determine Semenyo future at Manchester City.

As a top Premier League club, Man City simply needs the players he brought in to perform quickly otherwise, they'll be left with little more than a benchwarmer.

It depends on the manager's perspective and considering the current squad there should be several positions that still need to be evaluated so that Liverpool's overall strength can improve. The defense is indeed a major concern, with players like Konate making too many mistakes and several players not yet fully performing. As for the forward line, I see Liverpool have a number of good players, but so far they haven't been able to adapt well. What needs to be evaluated is how to improve these players, without having to recruit new players especially for the attack line.

I honestly don't think that Manchester City needs this player because they have quite a lot of players that can operate in the attacking department of the club, unless someone wants to leave, but if no one is leaving, then he will be signed to warm their bench.

As for the player, is it a good career move?
It looks like a good one for him but it's going to turn bad for him if he is constantly at the bench of Manchester City.
Finally, the player should think twice about this move because it can limit his development if he doesn't take care .

Slot once said Liverpool is ready to buy new players, but Liverpool also has financial limits for transfers. This means that under these conditions, slot must prioritize player transfers. Perhaps a central defender is the best option because Virgil has started to tire and often makes errors. As for a striker, there might be injuries and the need for a replacement, but with Mo Salah starting more matches on the bench, it could be a sign that they will look for a midfielder. The rumor I read is that Marc Guehi is a potential target for this New Year, followed by Bournemouth striker Antoine Semenyo.

Will the Guéhi move to Liverpool finally be finalised?! I would love that for them and also for him. He deserves to play for a big club truthfully. I hope to see him move to Liverpool sealed because Konate has not been himself pairing with Virgil this season.

A striker on loan will be great, but if you're to sign for long-term, then it's got to be a player and striker who serves the long-term plans of the club. Hugo Ekitike has done pretty much since settling into the squad. Maybe,  Mo Salah will be back soon.

I just see this recently in my x? Really? I know that Maresca as a manager is still pretty naive with his predictable patter. He's also slowly learnt from his mistake. However, i don't think sacking him at this moment is right. If he's getting sacked, this shows how sporting director and the owner are the clown.
It's caused by giving Maresca a squad very thin seniority is not right. The squad is also lacking of good talent. It's all due to their sporting director who slowly, but surely turning them to be another Brighton in expensive way. It's getting worsen with too many intervention by the owner.

Do you think he needs to be sacked? Tell me yours.

So, Salah has lost such a wonderful help. I pray for Liverpool to reconnect with Salah because they still have some beautiful future together.

The latest rumor is that several clubs are competing to sign Trent Arnold. Rumors spreading that Real Madrid will let the right-back leave. Although he only joined Real Madrid in June 2025, the rumor is already circulating.

The bid is reportedly around €40 million, and he is a suitable option for the defense of several English clubs such as Manchester United, Newcastle, and Manchester City.

As a top Premier League club, Man City simply needs the players he brought in to perform quickly otherwise, they'll be left with little more than a benchwarmer.

This is also something Semenyo needs to consider, as playing at a better club brings more pressure and if he can't perform at his best, the pressure will be even greater and the most unfortunate outcome will be a bench player. Given his abilities, there's no doubt that Semenyo can adapt easily with his teammates, but the question is how he can perform significantly better than Rayan Cherki.

It's possible that Pep Guardiola has other plans, such as rotating players so both players get equal opportunities. Ultimately he will decide to bring him into the starting eleven if he proves to be better. Every player certainly likes challenges, especially when he gets the opportunity to play for a much bigger club and in the end the decision has been carefully considered.
