⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[fuguebtc]

Buddy, I believe you have forgotten the financial situation of Barcelona and how they have been struggling to bounce back lately, they know that Julia Alvarez  will want to move to a better place where he could win trophies but what they don't know is the amount Atletico Madrid will be demanding from them because there was a rumor that Real Madrid showed interest in the same player and because of that Atletico Madrid will increase his price and you know that Barcelona may but what to spend that amount after spending huge amount on Anthony Gordon.

Real Madrid made a bid of 150 million. I do not  know why madrid management did that. Madrid management is  very clever. It's not  like they suddenly want to pay 150 million for Alvarez. It could be that they did it to increase alvarez's price. Since barcelona are very interested in alvarez.

Alvarez is a good player, that's right. But  150 million is a very big amount. Barcelona probably won't be interested in spending that much. Also, Atletico madrid is probably  expecting 160 million. Barcelona won't spend that much. Also, barcelona's financial crisis is  not completely over yet.

150 million is a lot of money for a player, in my opinion, but Atletico even rejected that. Of course, they want to keep him in the team, but if he wants to leave school, selling him would be the best option. The Argentinian star player wants to continue his career at another team. I think they should allow this without creating problems with the player. They can certainly find a striker to replace him.

If Atletico doesn't let him go in the transfer market, it might also negatively affect his performance or his relationship with the coach and the team. Right now, there are already fans calling him a traitor. Honestly, I'd be happier seeing him play in a different competition, I mean, choosing a team from the Premier League or elsewhere.

Traitor on what stands? A player can't leave the club side he is in, for a personal reason known to him, to fulfill his dream somewhere else. Some football fans can reason irrationally about players bidding.

From the look of things, Atletico Madrid doesn't want to let go of Alvarez to Real Madrid or Barcelona because of the release clause of Alvarez to be £500m. Alvarez's contract with Atletico Madrid is set to last until 2030.

[Ale88]

According to media reports, Julian Alvarez time with Atletico Madrid will soon be over, as Barcelona has reached an agreement with him and he has rejected all offers from other clubs. The verbal agreement between Barcelona and Alvarez made Atletico very angry with Barcelona, ​​Atletico even tried to set a high price so that Barcelona could not pay it. The reason Alvarez dared to make a deal with Barcelona even though Atletico didn't like it was because when he extended his contract until 2030 there was a condition agreed by both parties, namely "Atletico will let Alvarez leave, if he asks to leave" clearly in this agreement Atletico position is very weak and their chances of winning this dispute are very small.

If Atletico reneges on the terms of the contract, Alvarez could file a lawsuit and FIFA could unilaterally terminate the contract if Atletico violates its terms. I think, sooner or later, Barcelona will get Alvarez even if Atletico doesn't like him moving there.

First of all Barcelona are breaking the rules because you are allowed to discuss a contract only after the team owning the player accept the offer. In this case Atletico didn't accept any offer. Second thing, I don't think Atletico Madrid are so stupid they simply put a clause like "if the player wants to leave, he can do it" because usually, for this kind of situation, they also agree to receive a certain a amount of money. Otherwise Alvarez says he wants to leave, Barcelona offers 2 euros, and he leaves. It doesn't make sense.

It is strange to see that some guys here believe that a club has the responsibility to let a player go. I have no idea why anyone would have that opinion as it makes no sense at all. There are signed contracts and a lot of money involved. Alvarez could as well live up to the promise he gave with his signature and value the salary he receives. A contract is a contract and I don't know why that should not apply in football. Atletico signed and promised to send him €12.5 million and Alvarez signed because he deemed that a great deal and promised to Atletico that he will do his part. What kind of misunderstanding can there be that one party now should refrain from asking the other party to fullfil the contract?

[BitcoinHunt3r]

I have seen rumours that Real Madrid are close to reaching an agreement with Enzo Fernandez. But as far as I know , Enzo's contract with Chelsea runs until 2032. So, is it possible for Enzo to go to Madrid if Chelsea management does not want him to ?  Chelsea are probably looking to rebuild their entire squad. That's why chelsea  management is not stopping any player from leaving chelsea. Despite Cucurella being a  talented player, Chelsea let him go. With Alonso, chelsea are going to start a new  journey. They have a lot of money. They  will be able to build a strong squad.

Yeah I know about the contract and I've checked it in detail yeah it's valid until 2032 but from a player perspective, Enzo Fernández could request a transfer as Chelsea will not be playing in European competition next season then he could do the same scenario as Alexander Isak did when he moved to Liverpool. Chelsea certainly don't want to pay players just to stay without playing, unless Chelsea agrees to take the risk. I think this transfer will happen and Chelsea can find a replacement, World Cup matches like this are a great time to monitor the players and who knows, there might be players with the same potential but with a lower fee.

Alvarez is a good player, that's right. But  150 million is a very big amount. Barcelona probably won't be interested in spending that much. Also, Atletico madrid is probably  expecting 160 million. Barcelona won't spend that much. Also, barcelona's financial crisis is  not completely over yet.

I think that's just a propaganda, there's no way Real Madrid will pay such amount of money for Julian Alvarez, had it been it Olise I would believe it's true but for Julian Alvarez is just a propaganda, besides that Athletico Madrid has already made it clear that they are not selling Julian Alvarez for any price, and they want to file a case against them even, because they want to use same method they used to sign Antoine Griezmann, so they are not willing to laugh away this one like they did in Antoine Griezmann case, so both Real Madrid and Barcelona none of them is signing Julian Alvarez.

Madrid most of time did this kinda nasty thing to Barcelona transfer. And many sources confirmed this madrid this just for barcelona Bid war. But players interested in your club and want you so the club need to respect the player decision.  Alvarez last 2 season was the worst season in Alvarez career. When Alvarez was in boca junior the won the trophy then they transfer to Manchester City and they won the UCl as also the premier league but last 2 season at Atletico they goes trophyless in Row that's the main Reason they want to out form your club and barcelona are the perfect club for him to has carrier

It took a month for Inter to negotiate with Atalanta for Marco Palestra deal. yet Chelsea is coming and hijack him in less than a week. So it's obvious money talk here. I understand it sounds dumb for him to choose Chelsea over Inter when Inter plays in UCL next season.

However, i think Chelsea serves a better prospect for him in the future. Chelsea always regularly sell its potential to the big club such as Madrid and etc. So i think he's not doing it wrong by picking Chelsea as his choice.

He's also earning more salary as well. This moves also pushes Intermilan to looking for alternative player, which may be Cambiaso.

I honestly didn't know that Atalanta had a defender that was as solid as Marco Palestra until this morning when I watch news of his move to Chelsea broadcasted in the TV. I went to make a research about the Italian and found that that despite the fact that his now former club Atalanta finished below the 6th position of the Italian Serie A in the just concluded season, Marco Palestra was still named as the best defender of the league.

He'll make a good signing for Chelsea but I'm a bit worried for him since he plays at the right back position. Chelsea's captain Reece James and Malo Gusto all play in that same position. He might struggle to get playing minutes even if Chelsea decides to let Gusto leave. He's now a Chelsea player, we'll wait for next season to know how good of a player he'll be for them.

What is the essence of Chelsea signing this player, I don’t even know his name, I don’t understand how Chelsea would be signing a full back when they still have Reece James and Malo Gusto, so I don’t really know what is happening with Chelsea, with the way Chelsea are planning things it doesn’t seems like they’re going to be playing any better this coming season, most of their good players are leaving them, and they’re going to sign this caliber of players that aren’t going to have a place in the team, nobody knows there plans and how they’re gonna be signing players this summer.

Alvarez himself has openly stated that he wants to move especially since he has many dreams to fulfill, and remaining at Atletico Madrid will undoubtedly be difficult to achieve. The question remains however where will he go? Barcelona or Madrid?

So far, Atletico Madrid has maintained its high bid, as it appears they are deliberately setting a high price to discourage any team from buying him. Rumors are circulating that Barcelona has offered €100 million, while Madrid is at €150 million. I'm also thinking the same as you: Madrid is likely deliberately offering a higher price than Barcelona to increase Alvarez price and prevent Barcelona from affording him, especially since Barcelona has already spent a significant amount of money on Gordon. So it can be said that this is a clever strategy played by Perez, even though if you think about it Madrid is not really urgent to bring in a forward because they already have Mbeppe and Gonzalo Garcia.

We still don't know why Chelsea have so many players in the same position. Will they try to play one player in another position? Or will they try to strengthen the bench? Chelsea's injury problem is a big concern, they suffered a lot due to injuries last season. Since they now have a new manager, Xabi Alonso, we can't say yet what kind of steps he will take or what kind of strategy he will adopt. But we should be sure that Xabi Alonso will never leave these talented players on the bench, especially when Marco Palestra was in great form last season.

Chelsea have too many players who can play in the same position, and I don't think that's a good thing. They might be aiming for a lot of profit by selling players, and that might seem like a good strategy, but the performance of players who don't get playing time could drop significantly. Therefore, going to a team where they won't play might not be good for a footballer. There have been different transfer strategies lately, and Chelsea's strategy is different.

The manager's choices will also be important because Chelsea didn't achieve what they wanted last season, and they might immediately field the players they've acquired this transfer window in the starting eleven.

I am pretty sure that there will be big changes in the Chelsea squad. Cucurella's departure from Chelsea is already final. There are also rumors about Enzo Fernandez going to Madrid. Several other players will also leave Chelsea. And Chelsea will probably sell some of their squad.

Will Chelsea give Alonso the opportunity to build the squad he wants? If they do, it will be the best for them. We have seen Chelsea's irregular performance for the past few years. They change coaches every season. No one can succeed. If Alonso is given the opportunity to build the squad and work independently, Chelsea may gradually become stronger with Alonso's help. As happened with Arsenal. Arteta gradually strengthened Arsenal. And they were able to win the title last season.

The rumors surrounding Enzo are very strong, however, it's up to the Argentinian whether he wants to leave or not, but let me tell you something, saying NO to Madrid is one of the stupidest things a player can do in the world. Those who have said no, it's very difficult for them not to regret it. It's like the case of Olise, if he doesn't leave when his prime ends, no team will want him. That always happens. Florentino always goes for the best, but if they don't take advantage, it's sad.

Chelsea doesnt really need to sell I guess. They will just sign a player then stretch it over to 10 years contract to make sure they stick with the FFP but Im keen to see which player Alonso will choose to sign.

iirc he could be bringing in Garcia from Real Madrid. He was playing quite alot when Alonso was taking care of the club so I dont see why Alonso wouldnt sign him especially with Garcia looking for another club for better playing time

One thing I like about big teams is that when they like player they will go all in for the player and pay his release clause and that is what Chelsea did l, Inter is not ready to pay the player release clause and they still want to continue the negotiations to bring the price down and Atlanta is not ready for that and when Chelsea come and the player want to join them Atlanta sell him the Chelsea that come with a good offer and ready to sign the player, Chelsea makes a good move and it is a good signing.

Marco Palestra is a young player that can defend and attack, he is the type of player Xabi Alonso needs in his project, i believe he will help Chelsea if they give him a minute to play because Chelsea is a club that can sign a player and sell him next season without even thinking twice. But there is something that worries me about Chelsea football club, why the star players are now leaving the club?

Indeed, giving long-term contracts so that they can avoid FFP violations they can do, but I think they still really need to sell players, even quite a lot, they already have too many players who are below standard, selling players will also make them not burdened by the salaries of the players, because why keep giving contracts if these players are almost rarely played, the money from the sale of these players will also be useful to be reused to buy players who are in accordance with the wishes of Xabi Alonso. Currently according to rumors Xabi has interested several players, maybe the player you mentioned will also be brought in, because currently the focus of Xabi Alonso is to improve defense and attack.

As far as I understand, star players leaving Chelsea Football Club isn't because there's anything wrong with the club itself. It's a new financial strategy for the club's owners. 🙋

Chelsea Football Club's owners have turned the club into something like a venture capital fund. They buy young, promising players for big money, train them to play professional football, and then sell them for even more money. "CFC" isn't a sports team, it's a high-margin venture capital business.

That's precisely why these people needed Palestra. They see him not as a player who will be useful to the team, but as a financial asset that can be sold profitably at some point. 💁

In general, in my opinion, this whole story is more about accounting and financial reports than about the romance of beautiful sport...

Chelsea have been quite slow in this transfer, but I’m sure more players will come in. Players are also expected to leave the club, the likes of Enzo Fernandez, and maybe malo Gusto and chalobah too. For now they are focused on selling players. I still believe they will bring in experience players just has the board promised the fans when bringing in Xabi Alonso.

Well there is still a long time before the window closes and a lot can still happen. We all know how active Chelsea are always are in every transfer window and I believe this one will be no exception. Xabi begins work in a couple of days and I believe with that he will start asking for the players he wants.

Real Madrid made a bid of 150 million. I do not  know why madrid management did that. Madrid management is  very clever. It's not  like they suddenly want to pay 150 million for Alvarez. It could be that they did it to increase alvarez's price. Since barcelona are very interested in alvarez.

Alvarez is a good player, that's right. But  150 million is a very big amount. Barcelona probably won't be interested in spending that much. Also, Atletico madrid is probably  expecting 160 million. Barcelona won't spend that much. Also, barcelona's financial crisis is  not completely over yet.

Atletico Madrid has zero interest in selling Alvarez. They are very dependent on the player. Although Atletico Madrid isn't fighting for the title, they still need to secure third or fourth place to qualify for the Champions League, and for that, they can't sell Alvarez. They could sell other players and buy others, but they want to keep Alvarez for the long term, something like having a guarantee that their attack won't be greatly affected in the coming years.

And honestly, I don't understand why Barcelona has needed to get involved in controversies during transfer windows in recent years. First, it was with Nico Williams and Bilbao; the following season it became clear that the player wasn't worth that much effort. Now they've made the same mistake again. It's true that Alvarez is a good player, but he's not Messi. I don't see anything great in him. There are other good players who are more accessible and wouldn't require so much controversy.
