⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[TedMosby]

Ederson, one of the best midfielder in serie A (Italy) probably say goodbye and will fly to manchester united,  he will be replacing Casemiro ,great news for Atalanta’s coffers, but very bad news for Italian football, which is becoming a breeding ground for other countries; in other words, they find a good player and they have to make a profit just to keep the team afloat

-snip-

Another midfielder needs to be signed. This guy will bench Ugarte for sure. Manchester United needs to sign a new midfielder who will support Ederson. I dont think Ugarte is fit to be a backup. After all, there are strong rumors that Ugarte might leave Manchester United. Coming from an insider.

But what stopped the interest in Baleba of Brighton?

Less than €50 million for a player labeled as one of the best midfielders in Serie A seems like a good deal for Manchester United. It's also good for the player because it can loosen his off-field pressure. Cunha probably can help the onboarding process

I checked the data on FotMob, and based on the ratings, both Ederson and Tonali consistently played well in each match they played. But based on player traits, Ederson is closer to Casemiro's style rather than Tonali. Tonali has lacks of defensive contributions. Also seeing the player traits, I think Casemiro is just too complete, and we should not normalize that. Don't expect too high from the replacement.



About Baleba? Nah... he is far from these two (if we only see the data on FotMob).

I have also seen such news. But I still can't believe that Salah will go to the Turkish league at the age of 33. Salah can serve any first tier team for another 3/4 years.

Wake up to reality. We started seeing his drop in performance even before this season. Last season when they won the league, he was not at his best. There is nothing to be in denial about. It's simply nature, every player will get to that stage eventually. No top team in Europe will be happy to have Salah for another 3 years. He will be 34 in June, he doesn't have it in him anymore.

I don't think Turkey is a bad destination. It's a competitive league and he would still be in Europe and would have the opportunity to compete in the UCL even. So it's not a bad deal if he goes to Turkey.

While it is true that we have seen a big drop this year, we did not see it last year mate, he was rocking the whole league last year on their way to win the league so I do not think that he was getting any worse last year, last year was one of his best ears in his career.

This is why he got some extension as well and he was playing and to be fair he still had contract if he wanted to but the team and Salah got together and annulled it so it will not matter. Also there is a huge rumour that he will be going to Saudi Arabia, no idea where this Turkish thing came from but there are talks about 100 million a year for him at Saudi league so there will definitely be a huge chance he will be going there instead, why would he go to Turkish league and play there?

[Jostern]

A drop in form? Last season he recorded 29 goals and 8 assists in 38 premier league matches, almost 2 times more than the previous season, the fact that why in this season Salah experienced a significant decline in performance, it was because of Arne slot fault. Salah can still play for European teams, because it is not only Fenerbahce or Galatasaray who want him, there is also other news that Roma and Milan are also interested, the Serie A league is not like the premier league so it is still possible for Salah to continue to contribute. But if he wants money the Saudi league is the most appropriate choice.

This season Liverpool's overall condition was very bad. As a result, we have not seen a better performance from Salah. And this was probably one of the most unsuccessful seasons of Salah's career. Salah also performed brilliantly last season. Many clubs will fight to add a player like Salah to their squad. Salah is 33 years old. So he can provide good service to any squad for 2/3 years. I will be happy if Salah does not go to Turkiye or Saudi League.

Liverpool was my favourite in the last two seasons, but right now things have changed and the club has failed to live up to their expectations. Nevertheless, I believe Liverpool is a strong team, just like Manchester City, but the fact that football is not a one-man show brings us to the point and current conditions of Manchester City or Liverpool this season. Now it is another transfer window, and whatever they do will reflect on their performance next season.

Recently in the Premier League teams that are favorites have been struggling to do anything meaningful in the Premier League teams, I think this season nobody saw Arsenal as favorites, most people was thinking Liverpool are going to win the Premier League comfortably, after they won the Premier League last season and with the kind of summer that they had, everyone was thinking Liverpool are going to run away with the Premier League Title, Football isn’t always as predicted which is why you can never be sure who is going to win the Premier League next season, because even Arsenal won the Premier League when they were not Favorites.

It's already confirmed that Antonio Conte will leave Napoli. according to this news He complained about a few things, like a lack of internal unity. Honestly, this isn't big news; Napoli's management wants a coach who wins the Serie A title, they're not interested in second place. So if a coach can't win Serie A, they fire him. It's been like that in recent years, and I highly doubt it will change. I hope the next coach accepts the job knowing he'll have to go through this scenario and shouldn't complain if he fails.

We all aware about his fight with Romelu Lukaku, could it be as a result of that not being handled by the management?! It feels good to walk away though, if you're not getting shit your way.
Also, he's always struggled with clubs he's managed for thr past season and they've not gone past the knockout stage in the Champions League. I don't know what could have been the reason, but it's all fine and dandy. I do not think it's about not defending the Seria A competition successfully too.

You cannot use Casemiro to compare any of these two players because he's better than them in all angles. Don't forget that Casemiro came from Real Madrid to Manchester United which shows that he is of high quality because Real Madrid don't go for average players. However, it was because of the challenges that Manchester United was facing due to lack of a good coach who understands Manchester United game pattern that made it look as if Casemiro wasn't delivering as expected but as Carrick came, we saw his positive impact on all the matches he featured.

[tygeade]

Milan, Roma, Galatasaray, there are many teams in Europe that still wants Salah and I am sure that they are going to pay as much as they can to get him, whatever they can afford. But this is not a smart move because he is not really a player who can contribute as much as the money he will get suggests. He should be getting paid like max 3 million a year to actually be doing what he is getting paid to do, anything more than that and you are getting someone just for the name.

Maybe you will sell a few million in shirts so we could assume that it could matter so you pay him 5 million instead of 3 but if you are going above 5 then you are making a financial mistake because for 3 million a year you could find players who can play as good as him without a doubt, and younger too.

When this season haven't started a lot of football fans rooted for Liverpool to win the Premier League title because of the money they spent in the summer transfer window to sign a lot of good players but Arne Slot and Liverpool couldn't live to that expectations this season. I haven't seen Mohamed Salah perform this poor in one full season, so I totally agree that this season is one of the most unsuccessful seasons of Mohamed Salah's career. I don't think many clubs would fight to add a player like Mohamed Salah to their squad because he has already passed his prime and have little to offer now. Mohamed Salah is 33 years old, and there's nothing wrong if he go to Turkey Super Lague, Saudi Pro League, or Major League Soccer because it could be a good retirement plan for him.

Mo salah is still a top player if you ask me, and the main reason he struggled this season is because his team was struggling in large part of the season, and if you really understand football, you will know that any team that signed a lot of players always struggles because that actions always disrupt the rhythm of the team.

Look at Manchester City this season, they struggle mostly in the beginning part of the season because they signed a lot of players, so it was when the player has gotten used to their surroundings that they start being consistent, so the poor form of mo salah this season has a lot to do with the struggling of the Liverpool team generally.

I just found out that there is such a mechanism in Napoli for a manager, in my opinion this is quite crazy and not a good solution for the team in the long run if in one season the coach is immediately fired, there is no time for them to evaluate themselves after failure, there is no time for him to improvise the team to be better after one season ends.
The formation of a strong team is built on the strength of a coach who learns from mistakes over time, someone hopes that one season can show his abilities with a lot of team drama that is not easy to solve, which in my opinion, the process takes a long time to make a coach really be able to contribute more to the team, Conte has been very good even though he could not reach the top, but he still has that potential next season.

There would be no transfer fee for Salah because he would leave Liverpool as a free agent. After that, everything would depend on how good of a contract a club could offer him. But I think you can immediately cross Milan off the list of the teams you mentioned, because they messed up yesterday and missed out on the Champions League. I think Salah has plenty of options to choose from, and of course he will most likely choose a team that will be playing in the Champions League group stage.

By the way, I saw today that Romano reported that Conte is currently not interested in managing the Italy national team. So at this stage, his possible departure from Napoli should not really be linked with a potential appointment as Italy’s head coach.

His only problem now is his age. Because he's getting older, and I don't know if he'll be able to perform at the same level next year. Nevertheless, it must be admitted that he's a very good player. He's a very high-quality player who has a positive impact on his team. Manchester United were comfortable in many situations thanks to him, and I think he scored more goals than expected for Manchester United this year.

If there is a Juventini here. This must be a good news. It's reported Allison may be joining Juventus even when Juve won't play in UCL next season. Allison knows he has lost his intensity due to the injury, and he tries to go to the league that may not give him the pressure as big as EPL.
So his move to Juve is likely to happen soon. I call this as a good news because how shite Digregorio is. So many juventini getting upset of Digregorio due to his inconsistent, poor, and amateur performance.

This must be a happy news because Allison is a good replacement for Digregorio if happens. Even if Allison is 40 years old, i'd rather still choose him instead of defend Digregorio to stay. 
I'm saying it because Digregorio performance is not serie a level.

[Renampun]

I hope Manchester United fans dont regret this signing. It is easy to accept a quick transfer during a World Cup season, but for me, I prefer to wait for the World Cup to start before signing. I feel United are in a rush to get players because of how the season ended for them. United ended the season in a good way. Reaching 70 points for a season, they started poorly. Michael Carrick thinks he can compete for the league title next season. I hope to see it with the singing of Ederson.

They couldn't have possibly not monitored Ederson's development before, surely scouting had already done their monitoring and judged that Ederson was worthy of being snapped up as soon as possible even before the world cup by looking at his performance at Atalanta.. even though it wasn't that impressive, but I think that Carrick saw that Ederson was a suitable player to be able to fill the midfield left by Casemiro, especially next season they will be playing in more competitions, so they need a player who can integrate quickly with the team and is really fit for that position

"Lost intensity" like his an outfield player. That's quite funny. Wouldn't he be a great addition for them?! With no Champions League competition finally, I don't know if he'll still swing that way to be a part of their project. I think, h has won almost everything in the Premier League Competition even if he got to do it just once, it is better he leave since the management are focusing on a rebuild. I have no idea who he replaces, but I can sure vouch for him given tue old ladies a good job all round.

So far we have seen more news of outgoing than incomings. More news to follow when the transfer window resumes.

[SFR10]

It looks like Diego Simeone indirectly confirmed Julián Álvarez is not going to be part of the Atlético squad in the coming season ^[source] and the likely destinations appear to be Barça, PSG and the Premier League. A lot of people are speculating that he's going to join Barça since Lewandowski is leaving, but I have a strong feeling that Andrea Berta is going to use his connection to sign him again ^{[this time for Arsenal (there's a high chance that either Trossard or Martinelli leaves in the summer and IMO, he's the perfect replacement)]}. Where do you guys think he'll end up?

Napoli deserves the position Antonio Conte has brought them to this season, this was a Napoli team that had the likes of Victor Osimhen who could change the trajectory of every team he joins, but Conte and some of the board members in Napoli made sure that they frustrated the hell out of a promising player like Victor, Conte brought in lukaku who could not match up the energy Osimhen brings to the team. Of course Napoli board wants results not excuses from Conte, and it's part of the reason why there is disharmony in the dressing room, Ever since they frustrated Osimhen out of that team, they've been consistently struggling to win the league title.

I also see this as a good idea you brought up for himself and I hope that you find the solace to join the Juventus team and also it's time to couple up himself until he's really back in full form, I know it's going to do more better with his decision to go to Juventus and I think it will be a better replacement as well this time around as it is much needed.

I think I agree with you on that, we all know that Salah is a very good and talented player who has done very well in Liverpool but the point is 1 player can never make a difference it’s a team work and when major part of the team is already weak theirs nothing anyone can do about it even the best player in that team can’t do anything, his a legend in Liverpool with a lot of goals and trophies there’s nothing to prove anymore he has done that many times and again his getting old so he won’t function as he use to, now that his leaving Liverpool he should look for a better place to retire and get more money for himself at this age of his career his not looking for anything more than to make more money for himself and family.
I know all Liverpool fans worldwide will really miss him.

Galatasaray doesn't have much threat in their domestic league, so I don't have any problem if they want to sign Mohamed Salah as a free agent because even without Mohamed Salah they will still win the Turkish Super league title next season. But for AC Milan and AS Roma going for Mohamed Salah, it's not a smart move because he's not the ideal player for AC Milan or AS Roma as he has little to offer now. AC Milan or AS Roma needs fresh young players who can serve them for a long time and help them win matches too.

I’m fairly certain that Carrick and Man United have certainly given that decision a great deal of thought, because following a number of failed signings in the past, Man United are now being  rather cautious (which was evident in January, when they didn’t sign a single player). So for Ederson, it seems they have reached a unanimous decision . Besides, he hasn’t been called up to the national team either,  so there’s no point in waiting until the World Cup kicks off. If Manchester United  take too long to make a move, Ederson could well be snapped up by another club

To be honest, I’m curious to know which other midfielder they’ll sign next after they successfully secured Ederson , because given the current situation, Man United are bound  to sign more than just one midfielder for next season, especially if  Manuel Ugarte really does leave, like the rumors say.
