⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[dzonikg28]

Previously I was not familiar with this player but because there are many discussions about it so I'm curious. First I tracked his transfer history, almost a year ago, Yan Diomande was brought in from Leganes, at that time the market value 1.5 million and the transfer fee  20 million today or after 11 months its market value increases to 90 Million? honestly, it's a bit hard to believe, but I saw something interesting, I mean somehow elite teams from Europe interested in him Liverpool, PSG, Madrid, Chelsea, Munich and Manchester United well I don't think they're joking there must be something that caught their attention. Since I am not familiar with this player, at first glance I think the main indication is that because he is a young player, he is suitable for long-term investment.

And this is what many people forget when the prices for players are discussed. It is not possible to simply take the objective market value and then say whether the player is worth it or not. What if a player is worth €50 million in objective terms, but Liverpool, PSG, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester United are after him? It is quite obvious that his price will rise. No club would turn the transfer down because they would have to pay €5 million or €10 million more for a very young super talent. They don't care, they take this risk all the time and they are willing to sign children at the age of 9 or younger. This is what they have to do when all clubs are after a great talent and they can't just pull back and say they let it go.

Diomande hasn't peaked yet at all. He has many years to go to improve his gameplay and become mentally stronger and take on roles of responsibility for a team. He has the quality to find his way into any team I think. It is still early days though, but the clubs have shown in the past that they are willing to pay huge amounts for players with great prospects.

It seems Leipzig is deliberately trying to increase their bargaining power for Yan Diomande, as PSG is also reportedly preparing a bid for Yan Diomande after RB Leipzig rejected Liverpool's offer. PSG is even reportedly in talks with Diomande's representatives and is increasingly serious about signing the winger.

I also rarely watch Leipzig games, so perhaps there are Leipzig fans here who can explain why the price tag is so high and what makes RB Leipzig value him so much. If Liverpool raise the price again to sign Yan Diomande it means he's no ordinary player.

If PSG target Diomande, they will surely add him to the squad. Enrique is an experienced manager. He does not spend money  unnecessarily. psg didn't spend much money on player purchases last season. They  still won the champions league and ligue 1. If Enrique thinks Diomande is suitable for their squad, psg management will buy Diomande anyway.

Two giant clubs like Liverpool and PSG are showing interest in Diomande. Both clubs are very rich. And Leipzig will benefit from their fight. They can sell Diomande at a very high price. I wouldn't be surprised if diomande's price goes up to 150million.

Yan Diomande price tag is too ridiculous for me, I don't consider it ever worth it.

This is making transfer fees becoming more expensive and Bundesliga players don't really worth these for me seeing how well the majority has performed, yes there have been exceptional players from the league yet it doesn't change the stat.

Julian Alvarez has announced that he wants to leave Atletico Madrid, according to him he said he has spoken to Atletico people and the best for everyone is for him to leave and fulfill his dream. I wonder where his destination will be, Real Madrid offered to purchase him and Atletico Madrid rejected it, even Barcelona has interest in signing him. After this announcement I'm sure clubs that wants him will be lining up for his signature but in my opinion, he should have focused more on this tournament instead of this distractions, focus on the national team till after the world cup then these things can come up, my opinion though.

Ohh wow once again we will see some dramatic race battle between Barcelona and Real Madrid for Julain Alvarez like both team are just trying to approach him. Real Madrid are just try to made a chaos in market like intentionally they are not interested in Julain Alvarez they just want to rise his market value due to Barcelona. Barcelona are super interested in him even previously they send a bid of €100 million to club but unfortunately Atlatico Madrid rejecte it.

So let's see what happens next. Barcelona has intense need of striker and that's why they are pushing hard for Julain Alvarez and even Julain Alvarez himself would love to play at Barcelona. So Barcelona sign him permanently then definitely it will be an extraordinary boost for team in attack position.

Not just bundesliga players, but majority of all players across Europe.
I was surprised to see Leipzig turning down €100M, and Fabrizio wasn't even sure if €120M could make things work out. Absolutely nonsense... For a player with just one season wonder. And it's quite a shame that big clubs with footballing experience, are chasing such a player, when they themselves can't even sell a single player at such rate.

And mind you, this very case is not even annoying. Have you seen the price tag on Mateus Fernandes of west ham ?. A player that has been relegated twice with two different clubs, and the club is currently asking for £85M.

Raphinha to leave for Saudi Arabia now? I don't know but if the recent speculations are true about him then he might really be leaving this summer...

It's said that he has serious family and financial issues these days. This could be the main reason for him to decide to leave for money on the upcoming days. Then would Barcelona really go for Rashford?



Rogers would fit Arsenal amazingly I think.    I really like his style and Arteta's system is exactly for him. But how much will he cost them? I don't even know what Emery thinks on these news...

I doubt that Barcelona will want to let Raphinha leave the club this summer. That's one player that has been their most potent player in recent seasons and considering the kind of relationship he has with the coach Hansi Flick, they might not consider selling him. Barcelona has been suffering financially in recent times, so if they will allow the Brazilian forward go, then it would definitely be for huge offer from the reported Saudi club

While i actually agree with you that Raphinha is one of the most important player in this Barcelona side, I will never say never to a club like Barcelona because let’s even look at it, they sold Neymar when he was actually in his prime and was already looking to be the focal point of the team and when a ridiculous amount came in they had no choice but to sell him off. This is was even a period when the club was financially balanced.

I think if the same offer comes from any club near Neymar evaluation and the player was actually ready to go I think Barcelona will definitely be considering to call. Yes we can say that they are not a selling club but they need some serious money more than they need Raphinha. The only player which looks untouchable is actually Lamine Yamal just like Messi was but he is also subject to the price that comes too

So Barcelona sign him permanently then definitely it will be an extraordinary boost for team in attack position.

In fact, discussing Alvarez transfer is indeed very interesting, as it will be full of drama. With Madrid already offering 150 million euros, Barcelona will have to offer more than that. The chaos Madrid creates is quite beneficial for Atletico, while Madrid itself doesn't really need Alvarez. This is a clever tactic to lure Barcelona into spending more money than they have.

I not about PSG being interested in him and here he is going to be playing in that Paris-Saint-German team, but I’m just wondering where he is going to be playing in this Paris-Saint-German frontline, because I think they will need to sell someone, Bradley Barcola doesn’t have much playing time in the team, maybe he would probably leave the team, and they’ve to sell some players so they can get new hungry players in the team.

The player is very expensive but I don’t see Paris-Saint-German getting that money to buy a player when they also have other players available in the squad that can still offer the same thing as the player himself Yan Diomande, so they will obviously be very careful.

This will be a new round to make the transfer heat up again because we know from the beginning the rumors about Julian Alavrez have always been the headline especially when Barcelona and Madrid are always linked with this player.
Now after the statement given by Julian Alvarez, of course, it will make this drama heat up again even though Atletico are still standing by their initial decision.

Indirectly this will also trigger a rift between Julian Alvarez and Atletico because seeing from the statement given it looks like Julian wants to keep leaving even though Atletico previously confirmed that he would not be sold until his release clause was met.

I think at the moment there are several possibilities that will happen such as Julian will stay even if he is forced to stay or there are other clubs that can provide more than the 150 million that Atletico refused before to bring him a new club.

Atletico Madrid are true trolls, they are getting crazy with the statement that Barcelona can only bring Julian Alvarez if they redeem the release clause of € 500m. Imagine how annoying this is for Barcelona, on the one hand the player has issued a statement to leave Atletico Madrid and wants to play for Barcelona but on the one hand €500m is not the price Barcelona can spend.
 

Don't let Barcelona repeat Griezman 2.0
 

[tygeade]

Based on the rumor from several top media, RB Leipzig as Yan Diomande club already rejecting offer from Liverpool raise up 100 million euro and I think its crazy offering if want to raise up offer until 120 to 130 million euro. Indeed performing well for RB Leipzig in this season but offering above 100 million euro too expensive and can't believing RB Leipzig rejected previous offer from Liverpool who serious get his sign to replace Mohamad Salah position.

Current performance of Yan Diomande not really impressive yet in the World Cup 2026 during two matches played for Ivory Coast he not scoring one goal yet and I think 100 million euro is too expensive fees transfer offering by Liverpool. I worry Liverpool won't not negotiation for reach agreement deal if RB Leipzig increasing fees transfer until 120 to 130 million euro.

Yeah, that would be a stupid move, but Liverpool is playing with house money if that's the case. Meaning, whatever Wirtz is being offered, goes to Yan, and that means if Leipzig asks 120 million, which is way too much and I agree a bad move, that still doesn't matter, they are paying zero out of pocket and only trading Wirtz for Yan. Not that it makes sense, because Wirtz has proven himself elsewhere, and Yan has not.

In any case, Liverpool should stick to Wirtz one more year, and think about this again next year if you ask me. That would be a smarter decision and they would do a fine job. I get that it may not be easy to handle but it is at least some sort of getting better levels of situation for them if they can utilize Wirtz better.

Yan Diomande is over priced. Liverpool should learn from their past mistake because it will be hideous season if they eventually sign Yan Diamonde for an outrageous fee, only for him to flop like  most of their players last season. Many football analyst has come to say the player is not worth more than 40 million. I actually agree with the reasons they gave.

This is a completely unreasonable figure, as Barcelona certainly wouldn't be able to pay such a high release clause.
Even though the player has stated he wants to leave Atletico Madrid and join Barcelona, Real Madrid is also reportedly interested in Julian Alvarez, and it's possible that a deal could be reached with several options offered, as we know Perez has the ability to negotiate, even with his high release clause.
But to be honest, the price offered is completely unreasonable, as it's too high, and it would take a lot of money to bring him in.

Atletico Madrid clearly do not want to sell him yet and I think they also don't want to sell him to Barcelona precisely that's why they are being annoying and demanding they pay his release clause instead.
Atletico are just demanding too much for him and I think their motive is to keep him at the club for additional year(s) which I don't think is right. When a player is asking to leave there's shouldn't be a problem as long as teams are able to pay for them average price and not placing too much price on a player just to chase other teams away.

Overpaying for a player mostly doesn't end well even though a player is good the price will affect him because the expectation from him will be high and his average performance will not be enough for the fans anymore, nothing he will do will be enough if he doesn't score 2 goals in every match. Barcelona doesn't have the amount but if they buy him I won't be surprised if Griezmann 2.0 happens.

[Luzin]

This feels like a transfer moment because I just read the results of the Madrid presidential election. It turns out Perez has won again. Perez is back as president, beating his main rival, Enrique Riquelme. Perez won decisively with around 65% of the votes versus 35%. Congrats Perez, hopefully you can lead Madrid back to dominate the League and Europe. Last season, you were a president who should have been ashamed of Madrid’s results. Maybe if it were an open vote, Perez might have lost because of the poor performance. What do you think about Perez’s return?

It seems like Real Madrid won't let the Paz deal go while they have a wonderful clause which they put into his contract before selling him to Como.    9 million euros is really like a joke for a player like him now!

But recently I have heard that he actually wants to stay at Como. Everything is going great for him there. If he returns to Real Madrid probably he will rarely play. He won't have this many minutes.

Raphinha has performed well for Barcelona in the past few seasons and has played a good role in winning titles in several major tournaments, so it would not be wrong to call Raphinha the best winger at the moment. However, if a big offer is made for Raphinha from a big club in Europe or the Saudi League and Raphinha agrees to that offer, the club can decide to sell him. Now I think that Raphinha has the potential to achieve much better things ahead, so if he is given a big offer from the Saudi League at this moment, he will probably turn down that offer and move on to enrich his career. Now if a big club in Europe offers him a big amount, maybe Raphinha's opinion may match the club's opinion and we may even see a big transfer next season.

Atletico is not a serious club 
If a player want to leave your club and publicly give statement so I think you don't have the right to make them force to stay. Barca give them a fair amount of money and Atletico need to accept that's. But the problem is Barcelona are bid is 100 million but when Alvaraz arrived at Atletico from Manchester city they agreed the future sale of Alvaraz are directly goes to Manchester City which is arround 40% of the sale so Atletico sell price are arround 60 million that's why Atletico didn't want to sell him and force him to stay.

Since the beginning they have always said this especially when the rumors of Barcelona and Julian strengthened some time ago even on their social media (X ) they even provoke much worse But this is actually an entertainment in itself because we always enjoy moments like this where there is drama before the transfer season runs.

Julian Alvarez's release clause was 500 million from the start but when there was a statement from Alvarez who really wanted to try to find a new club then this could have changed because even being forced could be difficult when there was no match in the squad and this case had happened for Atletico in the Joao Felix period before.
The story of Barcelona, Atletico and Griezmann should indeed be a moment where Barcelona must be more introspective not only about players but with financial conditions of course.

This is making transfer fees becoming more expensive and Bundesliga players don't really worth these for me seeing how well the majority has performed, yes there have been exceptional players from the league yet it doesn't change the stat.

Who is this player that Liverpool is willing to spend so much on?
How many goals can he contribute consistently in a season?
I know that transfer fees has been hyke this days but that is just too much for an unknown player that can't guarantee 20 goals a season, no disrespect to him, but that's the truth.

In the past few years now, we have seen how bundesliga players comes into the English premier league and flop, especially the attacking players, so it would be wise of Liverpool to abandon this transfer target and go for other options, since this particular transfer is out of reach and too expensive.

Atletico Madrid is not an serious club but we can still see that they want to keep their reliable best striker. At the moment it appears that Julian Alvarez has publicly stated that he is willing to leave this ATM club to fulfill his dream but as far as I know the ATM club is starting to renege as before, meaning they are still demanding a 500 million euro release clause for this player. We all know that Atletico Madrid signed Julian Alvarez from Premier League club Manchester City for around eighty-one million pound, but they also rejected an offer of 150 million euros to release the player. However, it seems that the La Liga club wants to keep the player until the end of his contract and he will remain with the team for the upcoming season.
