⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Oluwa-btc]

I didn't see anything wrong with Guardiola's action on Foden recently. His form was falling down and he couldn't improve it despite still being given chances in the starting lineup for a few more times.

Of course he is an important player. But you just can't keep him on the pitch for long if he underperforms.    His current contract expires by 2027 summer. Let's see how things will go. He is still quite young (25) so no doubt there would be some teams in line to make a move.

Broad day propaganda trust me. He is a British lad and they'll rather move to a Championship side rather than leave the Premier League Competition or go overseas.
Phil Foden might have his form down, but that doesn't mean the hierarchy and Manchester City board are looking to see him leave. Like I said, this is pure propaganda and he will go nowhere. Pep Guardiola and Rodri can leave,Phil Foden will most definitely be a club legend.

I don't believe in those rumours cause Haaland is not leaving Manchester City cause any coach that's an option to replace Pep would definitely put him in their wishlist of players that would remain in the club, it doesn't matter if it Maresca. That would make Haaland untouchable during the summer transfer. Except Haaland decides to force his transfer out if a club like PSG or Bayern comes for him, I would've mentioned Barcelona but they're broke.

I agree with you. It's impossible for a coach to determine if he will include Haaland in his wishlist when Haaland is the one who saves the club by scoring goals most times in their matches. Maresca isn't dumb and knows the important players that will give him the best of what he wants and Haaland is such a player. However, no one will stop Haaland if he wants to leave City.

Haaland is a player who will undoubtedly always be on many coaches’ radar, because his role in the attack is crucial, and we know it’s very difficult these days to find a player with the characteristics of a pure striker like him. His skills are also excellent; he’s good at positioning himself and makes sound decisions, and let’s not forget that he also has an exceptional ability to score goals with either his feet or his head.

He’s also still young, which means he can stay with one team for a long time and remain a key player. What a team usually needs is a player with a long career ahead of him.

If you look at his statistics, he was quite good before Manchester City keep losing. He was the MOTM few times before and that pretty much show how good he is but there is a limit that he can do as a midfielder. The fact that he is still 25 and wants to play for full minutes are justified, he should be getting that chances but Pep is in a tight spot because they keep losing

Anyway I guess he would be benching the bench again soon as he was injured in the friendly

You cannot be too sure mate, cause one thing I have understood in football is that nothing is impossible. Your sentiment is that he may not leave the English premier league, but if pep guardiola stay put and decide to tell the board to sell him off, do you think that the Manchester city board will work against it?

I hope you know that Phil Foden has not been in the best of form recently, he is also not indispensable at Manchester city since Pep is the one calling the shot,

just that if he is up for sale, he would not be short of options in the league and abroad, but thinking that it is impossible is what I disagree with you on.

Phil Foden is one of the best young players in football and what he has achieved in football is unbelievable but that doesn’t stop him to be on the bench, for the past two seasons now he has not been in a good form, although the entire Manchester City squad has not been in good form but Foden own is worst, he is just 25 years old and he is not performing well and player in his age should at least be able to score goals or assists in some games, no one knows the last time he score goals or give assist.

Pep Guardiola is not a coach that is giving players time to get back to their best, immediately he sees that you are not playing well he will sign a player who is going to compete with you and if the player win the position he will keep playing, Bernardo Silva is more than 30 years and he is still starting ahead of Foden, Foden did not think of putting good performance to bench the old guy and that prove that he is not ready and Manchester City will sell him when a good offer come.

Casemiro has emphasize he's leaving from the club in summer. I personally really appreciate it caused by it's a very mature decision by him. It makes me aware how he knows very well where his body is. So he's not interesting to stay in the club with the hope his leave can give young talents minutes.
He's not been effective when he's getting pushed to play full 90minutes. if he stays, he may be a subs next season. So i think it's good to see him leave his role for the good.

Beside that i think this is also the best time for MU to pursue Elliot Anderson from Forest. He's the only most suitable player to fulfill Case's role. I hope MU is gonna start to do that in order to secure target's signature before other club take it.
Any opinion regarding who do you think best name to replace Casemiro? It must be noted that he said he has no interest to reverse his decision.

Case's whole thing is that he doesn't chase. Anderson is the opposite. He goes hunting. Suddenly there's this massive hole in the middle of the pitch and nobody's home. I recall watching the Fulham match. United were coasting. Then Case come off and within like fifteen minutes it completely fall apart. 2-2. At this point, that can't be a coincidence every single time. So Anderson to me is a no.

Tonali makes much more sense and i think Bruno pushing for him internally says a lot. Bruno doesn't really do that as a public figure unless he means it.

I know it's Manchester City bad condition that have affected Foden's performance because he's not the only player at Manchester City who is underperforming at the moment, and I don't blame Pep Guardiola for not given Foden enough playing time lately because he's trying to save his job. But if Foden thinks that his future is unclear at Manchester City, I am backing him to leave Manchester City and go where he can get enough playing time, he's still in his prime and he deserves to be a regular starter in order to develop more

Moreover he's been lacking playing time cause the coach mostly play Doku over him and has bought some players that would make it tough to try him in other positions. Manchester City's performance this season is shocking but I applaud them because despite the poor form they're still in 2nd position. Which means that if their form was at the peak they would been the ones at the top currently. Well since Pep is leaving the next coach might pick serious interest in him so he shouldn't be too quick to leave the club yet.

Leave when the praises are high and he's doing just that for himself and his family. His Manchester United stay lasted a short while but it was one hundred percent. And I'd love to say a huge thank you to him for all he's done for this club.

Elliot Anderson has been linked with a move to Manchester City since Rodri may most likely leave for Real Madrid. Manchester United are currently after Sandro Tonali the Italian midfielder as Casemiro's replacement.

Wow what a crazy price and this is fantastic 170M for Olise because he is on fire with Bayern Munich, last season Liverpool has bought many players above 100M among them Isak and Wirtz but unfortunately they can't do anything which means they are not impressive, and who is not interested in Olise, but don't know if Bayern will see money or see players?

Olise is not just Bayern's regular player, he is one of their most decisive, most creative and most confident player in the team right now as a winger. So seeing the kind of offer Liverpool is giving for the player is not something which you will take as a pointless move especially also coming from a club like Bayern Munich. If you ask for my opinion I will even say it is going to be difficult to see Bayern Munich letting Olise go easily despite the offer Liverpool will put on the table, Bayern is not a club which sells player unless if they player themselves choose to sell it.

Kvaratskhelia is one of the key man both at his the National team as well as his club-PSG due to his superb goals he delivers for his team and so it may be very difficult for PSG to even release him since they are not really financially down at the moment... The guy has even always wanted to play in PSG right from the time Lionel Messi was there, even though he saw it as kinda difficult since the key strikers such as Mbappe, Neymar and Messi was already there..... Moreso he has 3 years left before his contract expires, and even if it does expire, a renewal is very much possible coz I don't think PSG will like to release such a valuable player like Kvaratskhelia...

PSG will never want to release him for any cost now, any team he is the striker in that team doesn't lack goals because  Kvaratskhelia is good both in assist and also in goal scoring, he is a player that every team will want to have for now if he was aging it would have been a different thing i think Arsenal shouldn't just waste their time because he still has more season to be with Champions i believe his is going to play long in PSG.

I agree, dude is new, he was bought for 70 million just last year, and considering how much they are paying him, I do not think he wants to leave just yet. Mbappe always wanted to leave, that's the difference, many people look at PSG players and think that every player has a chance to leave if Mbappe did, but that's not the same.

Mbappe wanted to be a Real Madrid player, since he was a little kid, he grew up idolizing Ronaldo. This is why Kvara and Mbappe situations are the same situation. Kvara doesn't have that kind of allegiance to any single team, I am sure heh as his favourite anyways but not this kind of situation. Which is why as long as they want to keep him, Kvara will be happy with the money he is getting.

I don’t see Phil Foden moving elsewhere, because I think he still have a very huge future ahead of him, he is a very good and talented player which is why a player of this magnitude would always have difficult time, and sometimes as a player you loose form because form isn’t permanent, now he has a responsibility to make himself available and also get his form back so that he can play a very good football, and people quickly forget that he is a player that have won numerous trophies and accolades, his won the best player in the premier league and the PFA, so I don’t just believe that this guy isn’t good enough because I absolutely think that he is a good player that needs game time, but right now the squad is very demanding in the Premier League and the Manchester City Squad.

[Italian Panic]

I don’t agree with the decisions made by the Manchester clubs. For Manchester City, letting Phil Foden go is a crime, he is an English player, a product of their academy and absolutely brilliant plyer; it is not as if they will be able to find another one like him every year in their youth system. Manchester United should try to keep Casemiro for at least another couple of years; things are going well now with Carrick and there is a sensation that a great team is being built.

One thing about football is that it's an entertainment but purely political and corrupt too. Manchester clubs are just like other regular English clubs, their ego and pride standing tall as always. Letting Phil Foden leave the Manchester city team may not be the best option for Manchester city but also remember that a prolonged misunderstanding between a particular player and the manager can destroy the entire team. Pep Guardiola being a goal oriented manager believes that Phil Foden is no longer giving him all he wants from him and would not allow the management influence his decision to that extent.

Truth is that English clubs love protecting their home grown players not to talk of their academy players which is why Phil Foden may likely not leave the team, instead he will be given time to improve his confidence and performance. Harry Maguire was bullied by fans and hated during his bad days, he only survived Manchester United because he was an English player. I hope Manchester city won't make same mistake that Manchester United made by letting Scotland Mctominay leave and subsequently winning player of the season in his first season at Napoli. Foden needs time and that's what they should give him to improve.

Casemiro's case is a whole lot complicated since it's more of both personal decision and mutual agreement. Casemiro is in need of new challenge and may never agree a contract renewal with Manchester United. He wants to leave when he will be greatly missed and I this it's best for him even though it will pain the fans of football and English league at large. He has had a very thrilling moments in Manchester and he will forever be remembered.

Sometimes what some players need to do is to leave a club they have been playing for, when they discover they are not performing as expected anymore, even Erling Haaland has not been performing very well this season and I really don’t know why, but I’m sure that Manchester city will not sell him right now because they still need him. He still givies the team more hope of winning in every match even when he’s not performing as expected anymore, he usually gives the opposition team this fear and that is needed for a player especially as a striker and the reason for this is because of his past performance. Guardiola should keep Foden and find a way to change the tactics of play in a way it will suit him his a very good however, if he feels that Foden is not good anymore he should let him go.

Foden recorded 18 trophies from 360 games so far. It's 20 games averagely to win one trophy. His performance is sometimes unstable, but i don't think Pep will let him go. Most importantly, he's always helping the club in the crucial time. It's my reason why i think this news is so garbage.
I don't see City to partways with him anytime soon. Just because he has become a cameo for five minutes in some games, then we called it as an indication for City to partways with him.

He's still  🐐 in City. His performance is still in the need by the club. So i believe he will get a contract extension rather than gets departed from City.

I don't understand what happened with those players they're ones who contributed mostly in Pep's most successful season in the Premier League and it's very surprising to see that their performance is declining. Well it would make sense to move to another environment, players who move from the Premier League to other leagues mostly do well.
 Foden could move to another club or league but I'm not sure about Haaland, Manchester City can't lose such player cause strikers like him are rare to find currently. The league is almost over and we're not sure if Pep would still be their coach that could make Foden leave too.

But how? How will Barcelona be able to pay for not only his probably astronomical fee and his personal demands?    You know Barcelona haven't still been financially stable...

This makes me think like they are preparing to make some player sales to raise funds. Otherwise it is very difficult for them to afford even his transfer fee which is likely to be above 70 million euros.

[Soonandwaite]

if this goes through, it will be a massive transfer for Werder Bremen. the 18-year-old Karim Coulibaly is likely to move to Real Madrid at the end of the season.
Madrid are reportedly prepared to pay a transfer fee of 50 million euros. that would be a new record for Werder Bremen. the highest fee to date was generated by Diego’s transfer.
in 2007, Werder Bremen received 27 million euros. i’m curious to see if this transfer .

Barcelona will not want to make transfers that will put them in a financially difficult position. The team is currently at a good level, and taking on large costs could be risky. Teams need a lot of income to be able to pay the salaries of star players, and increasing that burden doesn't make sense.

Big clubs have big expenses. They also have big income, but income that doesn't come in regularly can put clubs in a difficult situation. Barcelona needs to sell players to make this and similar transfers. If they buy players at great cost without selling players, it won't be a financially sound move.
