⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[MArsland]

Since a lot of top European clubs aren't fighting for the signature of Marcus Rashford now that he's still 28 years old and has a lot to offer, I don't think top European clubs will be interested to sign him when he turns 30 years old or 32 years old, so if Marcus Rashford has the opportunity to sign a five-year deal with Bayern Munich he should seize the opportunity.

I really feel sorry for Rashford current situation, Barcelona turned to Gordon who was more expensive than fighting to make him permanent, and now there is a good chance that Bayern wants him, but I heard that Rashford refused the offer to play in the Bundesliga and still wanted to play at Barcelona, seriously I don't understand what he thinks.

[disbil]

I think that is weird. Very very weird. I don't think Real Madrid was not aware if Alvarez was untouchable. I rather call that as a Real Madrid's trick to pump Alvarez's price. As far as i know Barcelona really wanted him, and by this, they have to pay more than 150m to get Alvarez from Atletico Madrid.
That's why i think i'd rather call it for PR purpose or they create this drama to ensure Barcelona will not able to overpay Alvarez to join their club.

It's smart as ass to ensure their main rival not to get the preferred striker for the next season. It's more like a mind game. Yeah, Atletico may be laughing at Madrid, but Barcelona will not get Alvarez.

Smart way from Real Madrid president open bi offer until 150 million euro for signing Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid, this offer make Barcelona on difficult position if want to get Alvarez's sign exactly have open bid offer above 150 million euro the same amount offer by the rival team Real Madrid. I think good ideas from Madrid how to make Barcelona can't sign Alvarez and Atletico Madrid currently denied offering from Real Madrid with fees transfer 150 million euro.

Currently Barcelona on confidence for signing Julian Alvarez but after Real Madrid opening bid offer until 150 million euro its totally close opportunity for reach agreement deal with Atletico Madrid, exactly Atletico want to increase transfer fees higher than bid offer from Real Madrid. So what the future club for Julian Alvarez next season stay with Atletico Madrid, Barcelona increase bid offering above 150 million euro or Madrid have chance to get his sign?

At this stage , Rashford don't have any choice to make because Barcelona are rejecting him and went for someone else. The hand writing is written on the wall and he should understand it and move on with his life because you cannot force a club that doesn't want you to put you in their list.

If I was in his shoes, I will happily go to Bayern because he doesn't even know if he will be appreciated in Bayern and improve himself better. If he doesn't go to Bayern, he might end up playing in United because Carrick is interested in him.

Well I will say this is their first bid for the player, and if they could bid that much in their first approach to the club, I think they will make an improved offer in their second bid. Even though I don’t think Atletico will be holding for that €500m for too long. If they see €250m to €300m they will sell the player. With such money Atletico Madrid will cash out unless they don’t want to sell the player to any of their rivals. But if they reject money within the region of €250m to €300m, they will regret it.

Since Real Madrid €150 million bid for Alvarez was rejected by Atletico Madrid, I think Real Madrid shouldn't stress further in trying to convince Atletico Madrid to agree a deal that will allow Alvarez join them because Atletico Madrid doesn't want Alvarez to leave this season, and for Real Madrid to sign Alvarez they will at least pay a transfer fee around €250million or €300 million, and paying such a fee for Alvarez will surely spoil the transfer market.

They can't wait for the contract to expire, my friend. Enzo is under contract with Chelsea until 2031. If they wait, they have five full years ahead of them. Therefore, they have to pay Chelsea a high price to transfer the player. This is precisely the reason for Chelsea's long-term contract strategy. They want to prevent players from leaving the team without a transfer fee. However, the price Chelsea is asking for Enzo is really high, and Real Madrid can find better options instead.

You're right, it's going to take a long wait for Madrid and I don't think they have that time to waste but splurging that kind of fee for him seems crazy. I don't know but you can get good midfielders from the Brazilian league at cheaper prices and they are much stronger than Enzo and more skilled.

You forgot about the huge elephant in the room - these were the early elections that Peres himself initiated. It's an old trick used by the current government (everywhere) to deprive the opposition of time to prepare, and it worked 100%: Riquelme simply didn't have a chance. But even under those circumstances, he got 35%, which is a huge number. The fact that Perez resorted to such a trick means that he was afraid of being ousted, but now he has won and has 4 years again.

I really didn't know that Perez won the election, I feels like the only way Perez is going to be ousted out of the Real Madrid president sit Is from his grave, a wild one indeed. Now the next move for Perez is to sign a huge market price player to defiate the minds of the Real Madrid fans and the media alike from there past two years horrible stint. Again congratulations to Perez because I really like his management style.

Peres has been in charge of Real Madrid since 2000 (with a short break from 2006 to 2009) and extended his term until 2030, so it seems he has a lifetime position, yes  But if you look at the club's results, this is understandable - Real is the most successful club in the world in terms of trophies (although many will argue and try to downplay the importance of the Champions League), but most importantly - the most expensive and profitable club in the world.
As for major acquisitions, I don’t think they are necessary (although if it’s Kvartskhelia or Olise... )

Maybe he thinks playing in the German Bundesliga won’t make him rise to that fame he wants and would prefer to play in Barcelona. Also, if his playing time will not be much guaranteed there than the little he gets to play in Barcelona, he may as well decline the offer to go and play there. With the way he gets to start when any of their starter playing in the same position as him gets injured, he may feel that he will soon get into the main team and would be a major starter in the club and that will give him the opportunity to achieve what he wants. These are my thoughts but maybe he’ll have a different view entirely on how we may be seeing it to be the reason for him to decline the rumored offer from those clubs.

Fabrizio Romano: Barcelona will NOT pay €30m buy option clause for Marcus Rashford, expiring in 5 days. Rashford formally set to return to Man United but Barça remain open to new solutions, like another loan deal.

I think that if they were truly determined to keep Rashford at Barcelona and make his move permanent, they wouldn't wait until the last day to do it. They would have completed the deal much earlier. Right now, it's obvious that they are focused on other transfer targets.

As for Rashford, they would be willing to extend his loan spell if they can reach an agreement with Manchester United. However, I think Carrick was actually hoping that Rashford would return to Manchester United.

Barcelona has decided that they cannot make his move permanent if Manchester United does not lower his transfer fee from $30 million.. Manchester United also does not want to lower his transfer fee, so it is very likely that Rashford will return to Manchester United when his loan ends at the end of this month.. so basically he is returning to Manchester United, and as for where he will play, it is still unclear, because until now the rumor is that Munich is interested in signing him, but other Premier League teams are also quite interested in signing him.. this is a complicated situation for him.

Yeah, so many people don't aware of it. Perez knew Barcelona was struggling financially and they need a new striker. They try to poach Alvarez to go there by himself, but since he has long term contract with Atletico, 150m becomes a big wall for him to go there.
So Barcelona has to change their target.

Beside that i don't think Barcelona can afford 150m. It's just the way to preven rival to strengthen its squad. This is what i called that a smart idea.

There are speculations that some clubs, like Bayern Munich and Chelsea, are closely watching Marcus Rashford. Bayern is willing to pay a €30 m transfer fee, but they are also considering his wage bill. Not all top clubs will be willing to pay his £325,000 per week earnings.

It is also up to the English player to make the decision of reducing his wage bill or return to Old Trafford, where he is not wanted. If he is still insisting on such an amount, the SPL or MLS could give him better offers.

Marcus Rashford did well in his little time at Barcelona.It is true that the club has no interest in signing him, and I think one of the  main reason is because of his high wages demand. Barcelona is heavily restricted to Laliga financial rules, and this makes them unwilling to take on Rashford's expensive salary since he will be part of the squad rotation option.

Rashford going to Bayern Munich does not sound good to me. The Bundesliga is not a competitive league like the premier league or Laliga, so Rashford moving to Bayern will not improve him in any way. If Rashford moves to Bayern, I am even sure if he will make the first 11. A quality player like Rashford should play in a competitive league and not a farmer league like the Bundesliga.

Also, I don't think Manchester United will want Rashford again not because he is not good. Rashford was paid around £365,000-per-week-salary, and Manchester United already overhaul most of their players with high wages last season, so I don't think they will receive Rashford again. Carrick can sign other good players like Rafael leao.

I would prefer for him not to even return to Manchester United, let them find out a way to sort his loan deal 🤝, don't get me wrong about Rashford, he is a good player but I just don't see him fitting to that Manchester United squad without causing upsets to the team in terms of character wise, players who have gotten so much ego need to reminded that without them the club can still very much perform which is what United have done without his presence just like PSG did without mbappe.

No doubt Rashford Is Good Players.  But the Quality they have Rashford himself don't know him Huh. Barcelona Can't sign him after spending 1 year at Barcelona and can't make place in the squad the reason is they are not consistent simply we can say they are not consistent in many thing rather it's finishing or 1 to 1 chance or it's carry the ball. I think Rashford Can't back to man United because they don't want him the destruction in the team. Maybe Rashford can check the other club interest will it be Bayern or many English club.

The point is that Barcelona wants him but at a very cheap price,  but isn't Bayern Munich willing to spend 30 million euros to bring in Rashford? if Barcelona is not willing I think Man Utd will accept an offer from the Bundesliga club, because Man Utd clearly doesn't need his strength anymore and even I think Carrick will also think the same thing. And remember his salary at Man Utd is very high, so surely Man Utd will make any effort to get him sold.

Barcelona's tug-of-war is too much here because they want Rashford but don't want to make this something more serious and don't want to make him a permanent player at the club.
They know Rashford is quite comfortable at Barcelona but that's about it because they only want a player with a loan option but don't dare pay the release clause at the right price.

This looks like they only want the club's profit but don't see the condition of Manchester United although maybe this is legitimate if Manchester United still provide but if I were in the ranks of Manchester United officials I would obviously take Rashford and if indeed he will not be in the squad plan there are still many options to sell to other clubs should be.

To be honest, I’m really surprised he thought that way,  given that it’s obvious that Barcelona doesn’t want him on anything more than a loan deal, but for some reason Rashford still seems to believe that Barcelona will sign him on a permanent deal. Barcelona have just  signed Anthony Gordon for €80 million and he plays in the same position as Rashford. So it is highly unlikely that  Barcelona will sign Rashford as well, unless Manchester United is willing to loan him out for another season. There are actually several clubs interested in him , but if Rashford sticks to his guns, the transfer won’t go through

It seems Manchester United don’t want him back either ... not because of his performances , but because of his huge salary and perhaps Rashford’s behaviour, which could affect the dressing room.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I will like to see him in Real Madrid and not because of anything, they need more midfielder that will come true like Bellingham did in his first two years. Bellingham was struggling last season and last 2 was bad, maybe if he get shuffle or replacement will help the club. However, I don't think Chelsea will be read to let go, Xabi is going to decide on that and I hope he wouldn't used that to get to them later since his relationship with the club didn't go well.

I think that when Real Madrid tries to sign an Argentinian player, things don't go well for them. What they did with Julian today seems like a facade. I think they'll go for Olise, and he's definitely worth $150M. I think that when Real Madrid made the offer, it was to expose Barcelona for not being able to pay that amount, so things with these signings are getting complicated.

I don't know if it was false rumour but I saw that Rashford has removed Barcelona from his Bio. I really thought he would he would trigger the buy option but I guess we preferred the Gordon signing. It's really hard for in loving with a loan player. So at this point us the Gordon signing better than retaining Rashford and I don't even know why Man United don't want to come to terms with Barcelona as it seems like Rashford isn't going to be important to them

This has gone way beyond football and becoming too disrespectful. According to Fabrizio, Barce are looking for something more flexible than the €30M, or even a possible second time loan. I understand that Manchester United are very terrible when it comes to making good deals from sales, but loaning a player twice, when the Club wants to sell him by all means is just out of it. Barce should just make it clear that they don't want the player, rather than trying to stand on the fence.

And, is it not funny how they could comfortably spend €80M on Gordon while agreeing to pay in installment, but couldn't even talk out the Rashford case?. I honestly don't feel bad for Rashford, because I have seen Barce doing the same to other players. I won't be surprised if they decide to leave João Cancelo hanging for the second time after his loan comes to an end.
