⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[MArsland]

I believe Chelsea's management is very disappointed because they've spent a lot of money on signings over the last three years. I even laughed at them because they were signing everyone; it was quite comical.

Well, it just their fault at the end, isn't it? Nobody understood why Chelsea were buying a bunch of random players, in many cases paying them ridiculous amount of money, just to get rid of them after 1-2 seasons. Spending money doesn't mean you're going to win. They only have to blame themselves of this situation.

Initially Chelsea's goal was to invest in young players, but what made them fail was overconfidence and forgetting that the potential of that many players could not be managed properly. Now many players are useless at Chelsea, maybe Chelsea need to learn many things if they want to invest in talented players from Brighton because the club has good management of talented players.

I mean, it was probably just a bait to see if it would work, I am sure even Barcelona did not think that it would work. Think about it, Kane is scoring a ton of goals and winning leagues and playing with a dominant team, that almost went to UCL finals, and lost only at semi finals.

Why would he go to a team that is not entirely sure to win the league, may win it, or maybe not, and UCL they lost to Atletico Madrid at quarter finals. So of course he would stay at Bayern and not that bad.

Actually, nothing is impossible in player transfers and we know that the offer was true some time ago but Harry Kane rejected the offer. There are several reasons why players are interested in moving to another club for example, offering better salaries and bonuses or want to find new experiences because in general Harry Kane has conquered the Bundesliga as winner + top scorer so Barcelona is trying to offer something it's just that Harry Kane is still comfortable with Munich. In my personal opinion, Harry Kane target is the Champions League so he wants to try again next season with Bayern Munich but if he ends up failing again then I think the possibility of a move will be available. In conclusion, for this season Harry Kane will not move, but who knows in other seasons.

The dream was to build first class team to the era when Chelsea will say they are going to win a league and they did it. That's how dreams should be for any club like Chelsea, they had that planned with Maresca but I feel he betrayed them because they really payed for some damages they caused Chelsea last season, they are one of the reason why the team couldn't do well and were unable to finish at the top of the domestic league and Champions League.

I'm just curious to know what Xabi is doing, probably waiting to get that 17M euros from Manchester City before they can start making move. It's how the payments plan is going to be handle I don't know but if they have access to that amount of money, that can be used to buy any players they want and build a formidable team against any team in the Premier League. We need another team to help us out with this talk that Arsenal will dominate the Premier League.

Barcelona has been interested in Kane transfer also seriously in the recent times. However it's said that he turned down their offer and decided to extend his contract with Bayern Munich instead!

I can't say I'm shocked.    Because things are already going great for him there. They are improving and increasing their chance for a CL trophy. Why would he want to start over right now?

Yeah, Kane is under discussion to extend his contract at Bayern at least until 2029. He's doing the right thing to stay there with guaranteed domestic trophy + guaranteed UCL spot + huge salary. I don't see a sense reason for him to go to the Barcelona. Risking his career to join in a club that may not able to pay his salary is fool.
Barcelona nends to stop dreaming to sign him. The better they to approach Vlahovic, which is leaving Juventus freely. Vlahovic to Barcelona is more possible than Kane to Barcelona.

Kane is currently under contract with Bayern until June 2027. To avoid fueling unnecessary rumors, Kane stated that he intends to extend his contract with Bayern for several more years. Therefore, a move to Barcelona is definitely just a rumor. We know that Barcelona need a new striker after Lewandowski leaves the team, but it certainly won't be Kane.

[Nheer]

Don't know how true this report is but I actually find it very funny to read. How can Barcelona go from struggling financially to wanting to sign a player like Harry Kane that we all know will cost them so much to sign?
Well, even of the report is true, I doubt that Harry Kane will want a move to Barcelona at this time of his career. He's doing very well at Bayern Munich and has more chances of winning the UCL with the German champions than he'll have with Barcelona should he sign for them.

I am not sure about the rumor and even if it's true I doubt if Barcelona really has the Mooney to pull it off. Many people are surprised with the kind of players they hear Barcelona are going after despite their financial situation. It's not about wanting a player but about affording the player. A player can be linked to a club but if the club can't afford him then it never happening.

Barcelona clearly doesn't have a striker anymore so they desperately need a striker after the departure of Lewandowski so thinking about Harry Kane is not a bad idea, he will settle them well enough but they won't get him that easily. Bayern Munich will definitely request some  amount unless if Barcelona is not being truthful about their financial situation.

Barcelona preferred the signing of Anthony Gordon for €80m over Marcus Rashford for €30m.
https://x.com/TouchlineX/status/2070959784715489666

They both compete for the same position in the England squad, and now Rashford has BENCHED Gordon for England's third match.
Gordon has been criticized for his poor performances, meanwhile Rashford scored a goal and has good cameos off the bench so far.

What do you think? In my opinion, this is a manifestation of direct competition.

What does their competition on the English national team have to do with Barcelona? Does this suggest that Barcelona made a mistake in signing one of them? I don’t think so. The playing styles of the English national team and Barcelona are very different. Even though Gordon lost out to Rashford on the English national team, he might perform well at Barcelona in the future. We’ll just have to wait and see how Gordon performs at Barcelona before we can say, Yes, it turns out Barcelona made the right choice in signing Gordon over Rashford.

Some people don't even have any clue about football, yet they make comparisons like a toddler and wish everyone sees them as Gary Neville's counterpart. The premier is the most competitive league in football as we all know--- A good talent that strives in that league can succeed in any other league, unless they suddenly become injury-prone. Anthony Gordon isn't weak like some people see him to be, he just needs a little bit of player development and also, play time to gain the confidence. Barcelona isn't Real Madrid that won't spare you anytime to develop yourself.

That’s why I’m sometimes surprised when people compare players based on just one or two games. Especially when the comparisons aren’t even relevant to each other, like between Gordon and Rashford. Gordon is a talented player with great skills, and Barcelona has been keeping an eye on him for quite some time. That’s why Barcelona didn’t hesitate to sign Gordon for a high price. As you said, Barcelona isn’t like Real Madrid, which is impatient for its players to develop. In fact, I think Barcelona’s philosophy is a perfect fit for Gordon, because he’s a versatile player who can easily adapt to Barcelona’s style of play.

And that is by far the best he can do for himself, his career and his family. Munich is not the worst place to live at.

There is no risk for him staying at Bayern Munich and he knows if he goes into the office of Bayern Munich and says that he wants five million more per year, he would get it. He gets all the bonuses and benefits possible and Bayern Munich knows that letting him go because of five million more would be stupid.

He played a stunning season and he is the perfect fit as a striker for the team. I know he would be doing well for Barcelona, but he has everything he wants where he is right now and I think Bayern Munich would offer him better terms than Barcelona would. Bayern Munich likes his way to play for the team and yet not neglect to be an outstanding scorer and they will give him one more contract extension that could possibily be longer than the contract Barcelona would offer him.

This rumor is quite irrelevant and should be debunked. If this was ever true, I could conclude that Barcelona are looking at getting an experienced striker at almost a retirement age than getting a youngster which has not being quite their niche. With the fallout with Alvarez, Barca should be looking at signing a striker after Gordon to strengthen their squad depth.

As opposed to the recent Real Madrid signings, Barca should up their game with a more impressive signings that could compete with the recent Madrid team. It would be really competitive in the La Liga next season and I'm sure ready to witness the next big thing.

[Not your key not your BTC]

It seems like Barcelona is starting to regret it now. Just imagine, a player who cost so much is actually a backup on the English team. In fact, Gordon’s performance has been so poor that he’s drawn a lot of criticism. I’m surprised that Barcelona chose Gordon over Rashford, who performs much better and is also very affordable.

But the note is that Anthony Gordon is much younger than Rashford and maybe Hansi Flick has his own goals in choosing players because there are differences from Rashford and also Anthony, although for now Gordon did not perform well in the world cup is not necessarily a regret for Hansi who has agreed and has a five-year contact with Barcelona, according to my personal view in terms of players like Anthony has a different tendency and Hansi Flick has a plan that maybe we don't know how Anthony will be used in the Barcelona squad.

Hasn’t Rashford already proven that he fits well with Flick’s tactics after performing so well during his loan stint at Barcelona? Perhaps if Rashford hadn’t played well at Barcelona, it would make sense for Barcelona to have chosen Gordon instead. But look at it this way: Barcelona bought Gordon for a high price, but yet he’s only a bench player for the English national team, and has even performed poorly, drawing criticism. Usually, a player with such a high price tag would be a starter for his national team. I can’t speculate on how Gordon will perform at Barcelona. At least in my opinion, it’s better for Barcelona to sign a player who’s already proven himself within their system rather than bringing in a new player who will inevitably need time to adapt. But, okay, we’ll just have to wait and see, maybe my assessment of Gordon is wrong.

They've tried Julian Alvarez and it's not working now they want to switch their attention to Harry Kane which might not also work out, Kane is very important for Bayern Munich, his type of quality is rare in the market so i wonder why Barcelona would think Bayern Munich would let him go.

 Such kind of news would never shock me, maybe it would be shocking to Barcelona fans that desperately want their club to sign a goal banger striker after Lewandowski left but they shouldn't get their hopes high cause Kane to Barcelona is just a rumor, a deal that would never happen in this transfer window.

This is one thing about Barcelona's transfer tactics I don't really like, they always tend to push out false speculations to make the market favorable for them. Wasn't it some weeks ago that they said they wanted Alvarez, not they are pitting the Kane on Alvarez after making that bold declaration for Barcelona.

They should just find a way to get that 150m to pay for Alvarez than going about spreading rumours to the press

[Shussainshah]

Wow, now Robert Lewandowski will go to Chicago Fire.

MLS looks like it is becoming what the Saudi Arabia wanted to do with their league

Now many players like Messi, Suarez, Lewandowski are going there and playing for teams from MLS



Confirmed by Fabrizio Romano: https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/2071285448727462392/photo/1

It's Time Say Good By To European Football. Lewandowski was a good player and they played very well in every signal club where they go where it will Dortmund, Bayern or Barcelona they show themselves which kinda quality I have. It's time to say good by to European club and start new career in MLS . Lewandowski can be retired in the next 2 or 3 season and most of the people talk MLS is finished just look at messi What's they make them. In interview messi said Miami Help me to prepare for the worldcup they respect the player they love Football not only call Soccer Haha  Best Of Luck Lewandowski 👏

This is a big news for Bayern munich because harry Kane is one of their most important player right now, and also one of the best strikers in the world, so  this his contract extension at the club will quench the rumour that he might move to Barcelona, which I also think will further bring more attention to the Alvarez deal that is still pending for Barcelona, but to Bayern Munich it's a big win.

Harry Kane did the right thing to stay put at the club because since he arrives at Bayern munich, he has done tremendously well by scoring a lot of goals, and he has led his Bayern munich team to win two bundesliga title,  so staying put where he felt loved by fans and his teammates is the best, because going to Barcelona would have brought a different challenge altogether.

I also think it's just another rumor, it doesn't make much sense for Bayern to let Kane leave, just like the rumors about Olise possibly moving to Real Madrid. I don't think that transfer will happen either because Bayern are building a very strong team with the intention of winning major trophies. I believe deals like these would only be possible if someone offered an enormous transfer fee. But since Barcelona have serious financial problems, I doubt they'll be willing or able to pay that kind of money. And Real Madrid have always been very careful with their spending in the transfer market, so I also doubt they'll end up signing Olise.

The MLS  are really trying in bringing in some good players to the league, which definitely boosts the level of the league. On Lewandowski move to Chicago fire I think it's a good one for him. Barcelona are definitely going to move on from him and he making this move to the MLS is a good one, because he has been very good in Europe, so I think it's time for him to move on, because I don't think he still have much to offer to European football.

[Lida93]

The MLS just got another boost, with such moves from legendary players like this it very much likely that the interest rate will continue to grow within the US.
The USA isn't known for football but since the likes of Lionel Messi, Sergio Busket, Luis Suarez, Muller, Son, and many other great players started trooping into there to play in the MLS the league has gained global recognition and more Americans are now beginning to pick up interest in the sport.

Some people are mad that Lewandowski went to MLS and the question I asked them is where did they want him to play. Didn't we see the interest of Spanish players all going there, it's because they can adapt In US better than if they go to other places. In term of cultural adaptation, players can adapt to US better than Saudi Arabia.

No body has the right to question a player's choice of club to play for as that could be an infringment against his right. Lewandowski move to MLS isn't related to cultural basis but just a thing of choice because we have witnessed many playera move from the Spanish La'liga to the Saudi Arabia pro league  vice versa the US MLS.

If you remove Al-Nasr players from the face of Saudi professional league, there will be none known players in that league.

Is Karim Benzema not a known big name? He plays for Al-Hilal after moving from Al-ittihad. There still more names I could mention but no need

Goncalo Ramos is coming to AC Milan. An agreement has been reached between the clubs and the player. This is a club record transfer for AC Milan, breaking Leao's €50 million record. With additional payments, the fee will be significantly higher. The agreement is finalized; only the signatures remain. Milan is seriously aiming to win a trophy this season.

It sounds surprising. Milan dared to sign Goncalo Ramos, even breaking their own transfer record, and he’s essentially just a PSG bench player. I have no idea what Milan sees in Goncalo Ramos, whose performance at PSG hasn’t been all that convincing. Did Milan sign Goncalo Ramos at Amorim’s request simply because they’re both from Portugal, or do they see potential in him that fits their style of play.

Every coach aims to achieve an ideal playing style, and in this regard, Amorim feels Goncalo Ramos role is exactly what he needs at Milan, even if some may find Ramos performances less than impressive. But for Amorim, there's something about Ramos that fits his needs.

Perhaps, as you said, Amorim sees something in Goncalo Ramos that fits his needs, something we don’t know about. But personally, I’m still wondering why Milan would buy Goncalo Ramos at such a high price. Milan should have been able to negotiate with PSG to lower Goncalo Ramos’s price. After all, PSG does want to sell Goncalo Ramos because he isn’t part of Enrique’s plans. I think Milan was too hasty in making such a huge offer for Goncalo Ramos. But okay, anyway, Goncalo Ramos is now officially a Milan player. I hope Milan can once again become a title contender next season with Amorim.

[Oluwa-btc]

Manchester United management communicating with Marcus Rashford camp over a possible return backwards to the club is a wrong move. It simply displays how backward minded and blind ineos are obviously. I don't want that and I believe too many Manchester United fans share same thoughts after we have been disrespected on the pitch and off the pitch by Marcus Rashford. It is best for the club and player if he doesn't return. There's literally nothing with going back to such player with terrible behaviour in the dressing room. This should lead to Michael Carrick's downfall and sack of he integrates that ingrate back into the dressing room.

[Hypnotizer]

AC Milan have completed the Signing of Gonçalo Ramos from PSG 

I saw the news recently and it’s official that Ramos is now an AC Milan player after they signed him for €74 million plus add-ons, totaling more than €80 million. They signed him in a contract for five years till 2031.

So what do you think of this signing? Do you think he’ll succeed in the Serie A? After Milan’s last season performance this seems like a reform plan from the new head coach, he started strong in the Transfer market by signing Gonçalo Ramos as his first signing..
