⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Mateus Fernandes to Tottenham, here we go! It's hard to call this as a proper transfer because they can add another 15m to get Tonali, which obviously better than Mateus Fernandes. This transfer sounds like a gamble by Tottenham.
You know there's no way someone who played in a relegated club worth 85m. Tottenham is definitely overpaid Mateus Fernandes. They seem get scammed.

Well I guess you are underrating players development. Tonali is 26 and will be 27 next season, Fernandez is 21. As a good sporting director it far better to spend 85 million on Fernandez than spending 90 million on Tonali. With De Zerbi as Tottenham coach I believe Fernandez will improve so much with in a space of a season or 2.  Well the fee is a bit much but I still rather get him for 85 million than get Tonali for almost 100million.

The market have been inflated so bad, to get a top quality player in this present world of football you will need to spend that much. Don’t forget even Manchester United was also in the race to sign the Portuguese international.

Barcola is a good player and we have seen all what he is capable of doing against defenders and he also creates chances but the problem is converting his opportunities, he good at missing a one on one chance against a goalkeeper, that is his major problem. He can fit in for any of the two clubs but he needs to improve because his scoring ability is too poor for me and these two clubs can not afford to have a player that waste opportunities like Barcola, Liverpool and Arsenal are two hungry clubs in front of goal so this guy have only 1 option, to improve or stay back at PSG. The price tag on him is too much for me, what's your take on this?

Barcola's performance with the French national team was actually quite good. This might be what made the two clubs more interested in him. I guess Barcola isn’t the first choice either, but since both clubs failed in negotiations for the players they initially selected, their focus eventually turned to Barcola.

As for the price, I can’t really comment. But I’m sure negotiations can still happen and the price could be more flexible if PSG really intends to sell him.

He has been a good player both with the national side and the club too but I can't hide the fact that he is good at killing the hope of a team, imagine yesterday, he played a good ball, dribbling the Sweden players and he got into the box but when it matters to score he skyrocket the ball without hitting the goalkeeper or by chance hitting the bar, that is where I think he has a problem. Both clubs can still go for him and maybe give teach him how to give a good finish when he finds himself in the 18 yard box.
Honestly if PSG wants to sell it will be that amount but the other clubs would make sure to bring down the price because is too much and if they are willing to sell at that amount then how much will they place on Doue or Kvaratskhelia? That amount is too much.

Although in terms of finishing he is still immature but looking at the performance and speed he has it is quite capable of ruffling the defensive area and this is where the prominent role of Barcola.
Not only in the national team but when looking at how he is quite capable of being at PSG as a substitute for Mbappe before Kvaratskhelia should his potential is not to be a targetman but as a scrambler of the opponent's defense and looking at the current value I think it will be a reason.

Currently Arsenal's left side is not as expansive as the right side although there are Trossard and Martinelli there but they are not as fast as Saka on the right side so this makes the attack conditions not too stable and I think it makes sense if Arteta looking for a gap to bring this player from PSG.

He is a bench player, you shouldn't forget that and his fate is a bit sad because he plays for the best club team in the world, which is PSG, and the best national team in the world, which is France. It is so hard for him to finally become a starting player in both of those teams and I don't think anyone can name many teams where Barcola would be sitting on the bench. In 99% of other teams he would be a leader who is constantly playing full time. I think if he was playing for a team where he gets the full 90 minutes every time, he would be even better than he is now and he would routinely score than ever before.

The price tag like you said is too much for him, last season Liverpool spent a fortune and get him some players and they've not been able to recover enough to cover their losses, so coughing out such amount of such a player at this point in time will be difficult, The Arsenal that I know we find it extremely difficult to even bring out such amount. Arsenal are known to manage resources, they are usually on budget spending. So the best option for him, is to remain in PSG.

Real Madrid is one of the best clubs if not the biggest and every player would love to go and play at Real Madrid so there is definitely competition and if you are a young players it's better to stay off and gather experience before going because you won't be getting enough playing time.

Yes, you're right, and due to the circumstances, Madrid is now hiring experienced players, although Madrid's real reason is always to look for young players; this is something they've always done. But in this respect, they've been changing their way of adopting new players because the circumstances demand it; it's been seen that very young players aren't always that good.

I think if he was playing for a team where he gets the full 90 minutes every time, he would be even better than he is now and he would routinely score than ever before.

This is because his competitors aren’t just any players either PSG previously had Mbappé and now Kvaratskhelia is filling that role so the competition is a bit tough. Even if Mbappé were still playing as a winger on the national team he’d struggle to compete, fortunately Mbappe being used as a target man which makes his position a bit more comfortable for now.

However if the rumors about Arsenal are true, this could be a good option because the competition would be a bit less intense for Barcola. Trossard and Martinelli are still solid players but if Arsenal wants to rely on speed Barcola will ultimately be the top choice.

The same goes for Liverpool their squad has given Gakpo plenty of opportunities but he hasn’t made a significant impact, so I think this is also worth considering.

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..

I really struggle to understand how a club with limited finances like Milan chose to spend 70-80 million euros for a striker like Gonçalo Ramos. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he is not good but he's not great either. He is a decent player and during his years at PSG his numbers were kind of mediocre. For a player like him I wouldn't have spent more than 40 millions.

This answer your question. Bradley Barcola ain't for sale, and PSG is still keeping him for long term. PSG is even explaining Barcola is worth far higher than what City paid for Anderson. So we can expect him to be around 150m. His move to the EPL is not gonna happen this time.

Barcola has big potential to be the next big star. Let him go to the another club is a big mistake.

Madrid are trying to strengthen their defense. I don't know how successful they will be next season. Their problem last season was not their defense at all. Real Madrid conceded the fewest goals in La Liga last season. Even so, they are taking steps to strengthen their defense. They are going to add Cucurella and Bastoni to the squad. Madrid probably have 10+ defenders in their squad.
I would say Madrid's main weakness is their midfield. Madrid need to add experienced and talented players in the midfield. But they are focused on strengthening their defense.

Maybe it's because they had so many defensive injuries last season, so they're focusing on strengthening the back line to improve their squad rotation.

As for the midfield, I completely agree with you. Ever since Madrid lost Toni Kroos, the midfield has looked unstable. They've often struggled to control the tempo of games, and that has made it harder to break down opposing defenses. But finding a midfielder who can have the same impact as Kroos is going to be incredibly difficult. Still, I hope Mourinho can bring consistent improvements across every area of the team, especially in midfield.

PSG might say the player is not for sale, but the future of the player also depends on his decision. Bradley Barcola is not having enough playing time at PSG. The club has made him win many trophies, but he might want to move to another club where he is guaranteed regular playing time.

Barcola can force the PSG management to sell him to another club if he wants to leave. Remember that clubs might not get the best out of a player who wants to leave. So the club will have no option but to let him go if he shows interest of leaving.

I feel Sandro Tonali would have been a better option even while considering age gab because he is more proven abd a 26 to 27 years player is still have a lot to give, not ignoring the fact that their prime is just around the corner.

This will more likely bring a spontaneous growth and improvement to the squad based on experience. While Mateus Fernandes is still a good option, the price is still too much for a player who may want to leave his relegated team and is not like West Ham are having an advantage here but maybe they are trying to spend big in order to avoid the possibility of fighting for his signature with another club who may more likely be preferred by the player.

Regardless, I think Spirs are pushing for both signings abd if they are ready to spend this much for Mateus Fernandes then I guess it's just time before they meet the asking price for Tonali by Newcastle.

Some players are very good at dribbling and they can perform well in their position, but when it comes to finishing as you have mentioned already to score a goal when left alone with the keeper, then miss out with the last chance to kick the goal, this is not a short for anyway because not all players has same abilities, and since PSG is not ready to release him I don't think there is much to worry about it competence or any other team that may be sorted out for him.

This is a very good move from Tottenham, because I think Mateus Fernandez is a very good player and will definitely improve Tottenham's midfield. I understand that his price is a little but expensive,  but that's what it is in the market right now.
I think Tottenham are doing a good job in the market to avoid what happened in the just concluded season. They have already signed 3 defenders and they just broke their transfer record to sign a midfielder. I really can't wait for the season to start, so I see how they fare.

[el kaka22]

Spurs are spending money like that is going to save them, but the disarray within the club is the real reason .They never had a team that was so bad that they should be battling relegation, even with the team they had, they should have been fighting for a top 10 at least, if not more.

So the problem they faced was never that they didn't have good players, spending 85 million on a player will not change that fact. They had manager problems and ownership problems, and the team did not play for the club, the players just didn't want to play, they had to go out and play because contractually obligated, but they all looked like they just wanted the games to be over so they can leave. So when you have a disloyal team that hates the team they are playing for, then you are not going to get good results.

We have seen many young players that has been outplayed by older players, so if you ask me I'd say Tonali would be better, because spending such amount of money on a relegated player is what I don't understand, and there has been some speculations that says Tottenham Hotspurs won Manchester United in the race to sign Fernandez, what race are they actually talking about? Manchester United was never in any race with Tottenham Hotspurs, because they can't see themselves paying such amount for a relegated player, and again if Manchester United were really serious about him, I believe even Fernandez will choose Manchester United over Tottenham Hotspurs.

[Franctoshi]

That's definitely a good move by Tottenham Hotspur management team in an effort to try to boosting its current team because if you look at the fact that last season they escaped relegation, then you definitely would see enough the reason why they should do such important signing to strengthen its team before the resumption of next season's premier League competition. Hopefully this young player fits into their plan and help the club in bouncing back and compete the rest big teams.

If that's what Mateus Fernandes meant, then the player in question is aware that a move to Old Trafford might not guarantee him enough playing time. This isn't necessarily true, as Mateus Fernandes certainly had other considerations for choosing Spurs, who only compete domestically.
If Mateus Fernandes' decision to move to Tottenham after the two teams reached an agreement, it shows Manchester United isn't serious.
Last season, Spurs experienced problems in midfield, and the gap will be filled after the 2025/26 season, with Palhinha returning to Bayern.

They have shown significant signs and ambitions towards the pre-season and new season. With the sqaud depth De Zerbi is building, there's no way he is not making it to the Champions League competition next season. This squad depth will be playing week in and out in the Premier League Competition?! I'm already scared of them with what I'm seeing honestly.
Tonight, they have also concluded with the move to wrap up the deal for Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United. The midfield squad depth is solid. They will compete and finish at the top next season.

That's exactly what i was about to say. Why change clubs when everything is going so well? Staying at PSG is definitely the best option for him. I think a move to another club would only hurt his development, and he probably wouldn't get to play as much or enjoy the same role he has at PSG. He has a great career ahead of him, but as I said, there's no point in changing something that's already working well.
