⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Akbarkoe]

Perez will definitely win again because he has recently shown his capability of reviving the club with the name of players he wants to sign and I believe that he's using the signing of Olise for his campaign so that, he can win more votes. I don't even think that if he wins, he will be able to bring Olise to Real Madrid since Bayern isn't ready to let him go and I don't know if Olise will leave his teammates.

According to the latest reports I’ve heard, Perez has been re-elected as president of Real Madrid with a commanding majority, so Enrique isn’t yet a serious contender to challenge Perez at this point.
However, the players he plans to bring in are still just rumors; we don’t yet know who will actually be signed by Real Madrid to turn this season around.
Olise is a good player, but is he really the one Real Madrid will sign? That remains a mystery.

Bayern Munich are keen on signing Marcus Rashford, but his wages are proving to be the biggest stumbling block in negotiations with Manchester United.

The Bundesliga champions are willing to meet United’s £34.5M valuation, but are hesitant to match Rashford’s £325,000-per-week salary, particularly as they do not currently see him as a guaranteed starter.
Transfer News



In this case, Rashford also needs to think about whether he would be comfortable with Bayern not seeing him as a guaranteed starter. On the other hand, he already spends a lot of time on the bench at Barcelona as well.

Are these rumors true? If so, this is a great opportunity for Rashford, as a return to Man Utd wouldn't be a good idea. He would certainly be overlooked, and Barcelona isn't really interested in signing him permanently. Bayern would be a suitable option, although he would likely be treated the same as he was at Barcelona,  a backup player, but at least much better. Regarding his salary, I think Rashford would be willing to take a pay cut.

Taking a pay cut and heading to Bayern Munich, wouldn't be a bad idea, after all he accepted a pay cut for the Barcelona loan, and for that high pay grade of £350, it will be difficult for clubs to accept such high weekly wage when Rashford isn't a ballon d'Or winner or even topnotch player, because obviously he has dropped form compared to 4 seasons ago, and age isn't on his side that much. If Bayern can pay him £180k, then he shouldn't hesitate to accept such offer. Barcelona have clearly shown that he isn't too much of a priority to them, and Manchester United isn't looking like home anymore to him.

I don't know if this boy's signing has been discussed here in the forum because if it has not, then I have to say that this is one of the players to look out for next season in the Premier League, This young Nigerian is super talented.
Just a year ago, he was playing local football in Nigeria before being recruited to a swedish side, and now he is in the Premier League. With my knowledge of Brighton and how I know that they are a fishing ground for clubs like Chelsea I only see this boy ending up in Chelsea in no distant time with how talented he is.

This boy story is the most inspiring story you will ever hear this year, according to some sources they said he had never spent to 2 years living Nigeria and started a professional football now he has sign a contract with Brighton and will play in the Premier League next season, to be honest as a footballer you should not give up no matter any challenges you face, the boy was sign by AIK from a Nigeria club called Ikon Allah where the scout even put his job as a bet that if the boy did not perform well the club should fire him and the boy prove that he has a talent that will help them.

He was sign by AIK with an amount less than 1m euros and was sold to Brighton 28 million plus addition fee, Brighton is a team that knows how to build young players and earn a lot of money from selling them and if this boy spend two seasons in premier league and perform well many big teams will definitely come for him because many big teams are looking for a left foot winger who can play as a right wing like Olise.

After the President of Real Madrid announcement, there is news that Pepe Lima the former Real Madrid defender and Portuguese national team defender will be joining Jose Mourinho back room defending staffs ahead of the new season, this should bring some experience and brutality into these players.

There's also news of Alexander Sortloth the Norwegian striker being linked with a move to Juventus, there seems to be agreement already between club and player, I think he will be the hit man for them. Spalletti does seem to be pushing them the right way gradually.

Pepe is one of the defenders that helped Real Madrid win a lot of trophies in modern football. I love Pepe for his ruthlessness. If the news of Pepe joining José Mourinho back room defending staffs ahead of the new season is true, that's a great initiative because with the experience Pepe has he will help Real Madrid defenders become ruthless, and it will help Real Madrid end their trophyless run next season.

If Marcus Rashord will be taking a pay cut to move to Bayern Munich, the best thing for him to do is not to sign a long-term contract. He's still under 30 and has a lot of potentials so signing a short contract, give his best to gain the attention he needs from other top European clubs and then move away from the club or sign a new deal that'll see him earn higher than he currently earns at Manchester United. That'll be a good plan for him as it'll also serve as a motivation for him to give his best whenever he gets the opportunity.

Marcus Rashford is quite an extraordinary player and would continue to get more offers from many clubs across Europe but the problem that the English man might have to deal with is his huge wages which I think was part of the reasons why Barcelona couldn't retain him, perhaps the player could just accept a pay cut, that way it becomes very easy for clubs to be able to afford his services.

If Rashford was able to take pay cut for Barcelona. Why can't he just do the same for Bayern? I think he must not be dumb enough to abandon Bayern's offer. I know Bayern is not the club he like, but he will have opportunity to prove himself. Winning the league regularly, playing in UCL, and he get pretty good salary there.
So Bayern's offer may be a golden opportunity for him instead of going back to MU, then he only warms the bench.

He shall not feel worry about to be starter or not. When he plays well consistently, i'm sure Kompany will give him a spot in the starting line up. The better to end his contract in Bayern instead of being a jobless guy after his contract with MU expired.
I hope he won't be a dumb guy. This opportunity won't come twice.

Seriously, I thought Barcelona made contract with him few last month? I saw a news somewhere, eh, I don't know how legit it was but that's it. Does anyone know the reason why Barcelona doesn't want to retain Marcus? Hansi flick doesn't still find him versatile enough to take the left wing as a permanent position in that case. Rashford plays alternatively as a striker in most cases-- although Barcelona is in search of a striker, I know the manager's standards. Also, his demands according to sources are too high and he doesn't want a slash for all that. Moving to Bayern will take him another 6 months or more to adapt.

Wages? Can that be the reason why Barcelona didn’t signed him and went ahead to sign Gordon?
I just think they are not satisfied with his performance and think Gordon is a better player than him that’s why they signed him because I don’t think it is about money anymore because they have money that’s why they signed a player worth almost €90 million.
Rashford should just consider leaving to another team because he is still a good winger that still have potential because of his experience, I think he will have opportunity in the premier league again.

Yes his wages are the main reasons why Barcelona declined signing him on a permanent basis and not that they weren't satisfied with his performance, the club's hierarchy are convinced that Gordon could become a better player like Marcus Rashford so rather than pay approximately 400k every week for Rashford it would be more profitable to pay €80m and a lesser wage bill for a young Gordon who has the potentials developing further in the future.

Today i watched a video where Fabrizio Romano talked about the possibility of Ronaldo Jr. playing alongside his father Ronaldo next season at Al Nassr. Apparently, his son is turning 16 soon, and the club is seriously considering promoting him to the first team. That would mean we'd get to see a father and son playing together on the same team.What do you guys think about that? Is it a good idea? Do you think Ronaldo is pushing things a bit too much, or is this a unique opportunity that deserves a chance?

That would be dumb. All the other 16 years old kid are playing for their future career somewhere else, starting from the bench on some teams and he is getting pampered by his dad. It works out if he is good player but so far this kid is just average, he is going to kill his own career before the age of 25 if he keep on relying on his dad's reputation

If you are good enough, then you can play but is he good enough? That's the question. For example, Yamal played when he was 16 years old, and not like he was bad, he is getting even better now, but he was capable of playing when he was 16 years old, so it is not like it's unheard of to play a 16 year old kid.

However, this is also a bit of a marketing thing, because Ronaldo may not play more than next season, that could be his very last season, and that means we are going to see Jr get to play with him next season or never.

You definitely can't compare Yamal to Ronaldo Jr. Yamal went through much more serious development systems and, let's be honest, he's an enormous talent. It wouldn't be bad at all to see Ronaldo's son play with his father, but i think he's still too young. Still, it wouldn't be a bad thing at all

There are many more talented players like this scattered all around Nigeria, I watch some grass root football and I see players who have got a lot of potentials, the only challenges to their growth is that they do not have the exposure, no scouts to offer them better opportunities. With the discovery of this very good player zadok, maybe more scouts will pay more attention to grass root footballers in Nigeria because Zadok is not the most talented of them all. The discovery of this player also means well for the Super Eagles because with a player like this in our attack with Osimhen and Lookman, the super eagles will be deadly under Chelle.

This might be a good opportunity for Rashford to choose Bayern. however, his high salary has always been a hurdle for any team interested in signing him. But given the uncertainty surrounding Rashford’s situation at Barcelona, choosing Bayern would be a solid option. Although in reality it seems Rashford is already very comfortable at Barcelona. Still, it seems Barcelona also faces challenges that have led them to even consider other alternatives, making Rashford no longer their top priority. Even though Barcelona actually really needs a player like Rashford. But I’m sure there are reasons why Barcelona is even looking for other players instead. Bayern seems quite serious about signing Rashford. it might just be a matter of time before a deal is reached.

I know him a bit when he was still playing at AIK. He's a good player, and most of AIK fans rated him as their hidden game. He's good sprinter, and he can do 1vs2. He also have a very high work rate especially when tracking back the ball and help the defense. If he will be developed well by Brighton. It's possible to lure the team such as Chelsea to buy him. However, i'm keen to see how fast he will adapt to the premier league. He's gonna be one of potential player from Nigeria.

I'm wondering how Brighton is always smart when scouting the potential talent. I'm sure they can sell him for big money in the future.

Whether this rumor is true or not, if it turns out to be accurate, I don't think Bayern Munich will push hard to sign Rashford. In my opinion, asking for a salary of €325k is simply unrealistic, especially considering that Bayern would most likely use him as a backup option rather than a guaranteed starter.

AFAIK, Rashford was earning around €270k while at Barcelona. So from my perspective, Bayern will probably walk away from the deal if the wage demands cannot be negotiated to a more reasonable level.

Yes the rumor is actually true, Bayern Munich is actually targeting on Marcus Rashford, but what's still keeping them from signing him is Marcus Rashford's wage, they think it's way too high for a backup player, so they are expecting maybe he will lower it, since he's not on Micheal Carrick's plan and it's obvious that Barcelona doesn't want him, so he might lower his weekly wages in other for Bayern Munich to sign him, while Marcus Rashford on the other hand don't want to go to Bayern Munich but rather remain in Barcelona, even though it result to him lowering his wage, but Barcelona is not ready to pay Manchester United asking price, and Manchester United is not ready to bring down the asking price, so the whole thing is just so complicated.

[jakdanyel]

It makes sense to me! Because you know Gakpo played even for much higher number of minutes this season. But his statistics got much worse. He is downgrading and Diomande is a rising star.

Another winger? They dont need another winger or is this just some election stunt by Perez?

They have Vini, Rodrygo, Diaz and Mastantuono already unless Real Madrid plan to release both of them which is kinda weird. Aside from that, Mbappe's playing style usually drift wide to the side so that would overlap

Well even if they offer that amount, PSG isnt really the club that would need that money

Maybe because he might be preparing to part ways with some of those players... I have seen Rodrygo's name in quite many places. He is expected to be sold.

Mastantuono could also be sent on loan maybe. If they sign a top striker maybe they can use Mbappe as left-winger and sell Vinicius. This is the least likely thing to happen now I guess.

Pepe appointment to join Mourinho defensive staff, aside from focusing on defense seems to be a genuine effort to help control the dressing room, which has been somewhat chaotic over the past two seasons. Moreover, Pepe is a formidable legend and certainly commands respect.

This can be seen in the two new signings Madrid have brought in the big defenders Konate and Dumfries. So, you can imagine how Madrid will play next season with a solid defense. Furthermore, Mourinho is known for his solid defense, so he will focus solely on the back line. He won't be overly concerned with formations for transitions and attacks as these matters will be left to his players' creativity.

Pepe was a truly tough defender who greatly enhanced the team's defensive strength. A Real Madrid team that starts playing in his style could become a fantastic team that doesn't concede goals. I think this step makes perfect sense; one of Real Madrid's biggest problems is conceding goals in crucial matches. Perhaps this could help change that, and then they'll stop losing critical games

Here we go again,i think Real Madrid should be an offensive team not a defencive one and already we see most of defenders maybe coming to Real Madrid. With Mourinho i expect only defence to be really good,the good thing is that he has Mbappe and Vini,but with Pepe now coming i can already predict that they will play in counter attacks and they really have fast players,but still thats not the Real Madrid i want to see. I would more like if they play like Barcelona or PSG or Bayern Munich,but now i think we will see lots of counter attacks and good defence from Real Madrid.

This will be a first test for Pepe in the coaching staff so i wonder how it will go and how he can help Real Madrid in the upcoming season,i think we will see even more players coming to Real Madrid this season and a big rebuild in the squad.

Perez will definitely win again because he has recently shown his capability of reviving the club with the name of players he wants to sign and I believe that he's using the signing of Olise for his campaign so that, he can win more votes. I don't even think that if he wins, he will be able to bring Olise to Real Madrid since Bayern isn't ready to let him go and I don't know if Olise will leave his teammates.

According to the latest reports I’ve heard, Perez has been re-elected as president of Real Madrid with a commanding majority, so Enrique isn’t yet a serious contender to challenge Perez at this point.
However, the players he plans to bring in are still just rumors; we don’t yet know who will actually be signed by Real Madrid to turn this season around.
Olise is a good player, but is he really the one Real Madrid will sign? That remains a mystery.

Perez re-elected as the new Real Madrid president is the best decision they could ever make. Perez is a Real Madrid fan that has the club at heart and would do anything for its success. With this recent bid of €150m for a breakthrough signing, there are speculations that Olise or Vitinha  could be this mysterious signing Perez is talking about.

Though news have it that Bayern Munich are not ready to sell Olise even at a bid of €200m as he is considered an asset to the club. So its a bit undecided who this player could be, but it would fun to see that a big name signing arrives at Real Madrid after a while.
