⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[RaltcoinsB]

Every player has dreams. Perhaps the Argentinian's dream is to play for Barcelona. We don't know for sure, because Lionel Messi has become a legend at Barcelona. Naturally, many Argentinian players have an extra soft spot for Barcelona. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he wants to transfer to Barcelona.

Unfortunately, as a player, he should have considered that in the future a better team than Atletico Madrid might be interested in him, and for that reason, he shouldn't have signed such a long-term contract with an absurd termination clause. He should have been smarter; he should have signed a contract that would give him the freedom to continue deciding his future if a better team became interested in him. Now he will be forced to remain at Atletico Madrid until 2030. That's still four years left. That's a long time; he's currently 26 years old. So he'll leave Atletico Madrid at 30, when his skills are no longer good.

Atletico Madrid could sell him if they wanted to make a very high price, but they might not want to take that risk. He's the team's star and a striker. The team wouldn't want to let him go, but the possibility of him transferring to Barcelona closes all doors for Atletico Madrid. I think they should focus on talking to Alvarez and convincing him to stay.

[Shineup]

It seems like Barcelona is screwed as Romano just posted some hours ago that the CEO of Athletico Madrid is adamant on not selling Alvarez regardless of the price tag sent to them by Barcelona or other clubs.

This really is drama as we watch this two teams battle it out over a player that really wants to leave his club. I wonder what other choice Barcelona will have in the market if Alvarez doesn't join the club.

Barcelona pushed too hard to secure the player, even though Atletico had repeatedly stated their need for him. Therefore, it's no surprise that Atletico insisted on keeping Alvarez, even though the club knew he wanted to leave.

Barcelona will certainly have to find an equivalent alternative, but right now, it's difficult to find a player with similar talent to Alvarez at a lower transfer fee. There might still be Joao Pedro, but I'm not sure Chelsea would let him go. And even if he were to be sold, Chelsea would certainly demand a very high fee.

Why are they really pushing on this Julian Alvarez deal, knowing too well that Atletico Madrid are not yet ready to sell him, and the Atletico Madrid management had made it clear to them that even if Julian Alvarez is for sell they will certainly not sell him to Barcelona so why are they still being adamant of that, or do they want the case to end in court like Atletico Madrid management had warned them, aside that I'm very much certain even if they are to sell him it's certainly not this season, maybe next season when they might have spotted his replacement, because for now he's going nowhere even if he wants to.

Atletico Madrid could sell him if they wanted to make a very high price, but they might not want to take that risk. He's the team's star and a striker. The team wouldn't want to let him go, but the possibility of him transferring to Barcelona closes all doors for Atletico Madrid. I think they should focus on talking to Alvarez and convincing him to stay.

But what is the essence of keeping a player that has opened up to the team that they wants to leave the team, he can be there and will not give his best performance because he will want himself out of the team; therefore, I see no reason why they keep him, they should plan for early backup and grant his wish if any of his desired teams can trigger the release clause to sign him which I don’t Barcelona is capable of doing because they are not yet financially stable, they need to always think twice before signing big name pliers with high wages and also big transfer money.

Since many teams have shows interest in signing Julian Alvarez, the team should find a way to sell him this summer when they needed him most not until he turned like Osimhen when he was in Napoli when the team failed to sell him, and he lost value along the line before taking him out on loan. Diago Semione should use his experience and make good decision for the team to avoid mistakes they will regret in the future.

Then this probably will mean Rashford to stay at Manchester United for next season at least... Normally Barcelona would get him but they want a loan move again. However they can't convince his team this time I assume.

Carrick might also have plans for him though. After seeing his last season performance despite being a rotational player, Carrick might be convinced to give him another chance. But it is Rashford we are talking about and consistency is always a doubt!

It is a free additional player for Carrick. I think he would not be very smart if he allowed the club to loan him out again. He is a free transfer in that sense and if they realize it doesn't work out, no real harm is done. It is one more option for him to try out and yes, Rashford has done pretty well for Barcelona, so nothing speaks against giving him a try in Manchester once more. Unless it would be a transfer with a great payout for Manchester United, but that is not what Barcelona wants. What I dislike about Rashford is the lack in consistency. It has haunted him his whole career. He is great at taking shots from time to time, but then he has very bad matches. That is why he turned into a rotational player, coaches hope for him to build up motivation and then unload it once he gets the chance, but that doesn't work all the time either.

Because the reason is quite clear, besides Barcelona needing the right replacement for Lewandowski, it seems they also want to take advantage of the momentum where Alvarez has expressed his desire to play for Barcelona,  for these reasons Barcelona continues to approach Atletico to sell Alvarez to them, these efforts can also have an impact on the price, where maybe Barcelona can get it at the price that has been proposed to Atletico.

Alvarez still a good player for Atletico Madrid and that is the reason why they don’t want to lose him now and if Barcelona get him he will be very difficult to get a good player like him in the club again. But with how am seeing things are going Alvarez don’t want to continue playing in the club anymore he want to change a club and continue is career in another team.

Let see how the negotiations will goes after the World Cup ended. Barcelona are really interested in sighing him and any amount Atletico Madrid keep Barcelona will do everything possible to pay and get the player because they know what they will achieve with the key player when he later comes to the club.

It would be a big relief for Rashford that Michael Carrick is open to working with him. Other coaches made it clear that they don't want him at Old Trafford, making his transfer issues complicated. I wouldn't say he played very well in Barcelona; however, he could be a good backup player at Manchester United. Considering that the club would be competing in many competitions, the English international would be a good addition. His return would also be a good opportunity for Rashford to prove to critics that they are wrong about his ability to fit into the Red Devils.

Mo Salah has been one of the best player for Liverpool and now that he has left the club base on the end of his contract is becoming something to think of where he would spend or where he would find himself next season, where are we going to see him play next season?

[KingsDen]

Musiala has reportedly been recommended to Galatasaray by his agents. If Musiala recovers his health, he could single-handedly raise the level of the Süper Lig. It would be a great move for Galatasaray, not only on the pitch but also in terms of brand value and prestige. Bayern's aim isn't to lose the player, but to help him regain his rhythm, so Galatasaray could be a good choice for them. His playmaking ability is top-notch, exactly what Galatasaray needs.

Moving to the Turkish league will be good for me, but Musiala is at the stage of recovering from recent injuries. I would prefer him staying in Bayern until he fully recovers, then before he talks of moving to any other league. Musiala is a young talented player, but moving to any other league now, could affect his career, because he is not performing at his best right now. Musiala can still play for other big clubs in the future, but I recommend him staying in Bayern for maybe one season. Premier league or Laliga is still a good place for such talent.

Mo Salah has been one of the best player for Liverpool and now that he has left the club base on the end of his contract is becoming something to think of where he would spend or where he would find himself next season, where are we going to see him play next season?

All speculation about Salah will not change it seems because for the last few seasons only clubs in the SPL have approached Salah seriously so if there is later confirmation of Salah leaving then it is likely that the SPL club that allows it to be used as Salah's next adventure.

It's just that there are still other possibilities when Salah goes on a free agent because even though he is old enough now but Salah's performance is still quite good which of course will provide attraction for some clubs such as in Serie A who may be able to approach Salah with his free agent status.

But the latest is now Salah is still linked with Besiktas although this is just a rumor but this is the most toned down for Salah rumor.

Barcelona are trying to buy a player that is not for sale offering very little money. It makes no sense. Especially considering that they are basically expecting one of their main rivals to do them a favor. Why should Atletico de Madrid sell him for basically the same price they paid for Alvarez, if not even less? If Barcelona really want him, then they should make an offer that can't be refused, not expect a discount.

I have no doubt that the French national team has gained a great coach, someone who is completely dedicated to football and whose vision is unique. For me, he's one of the best in the world, in fact, the best in the world on many occasions: Zidane! Deschamps did well, but now Zidane will make history. I hope he can do his best job ever, just like he did at Real Madrid. We'll finally see a much more solid team with more attacking options.

Four years will surely be enough time for Zizou to build the ideal French squad for the next World Cup. It's no wonder fans expectations for Zizou are unstoppable. I'm optimistic his qualities will be valuable to the French national team.

Mo Salah has been one of the best player for Liverpool and now that he has left the club base on the end of his contract is becoming something to think of where he would spend or where he would find himself next season, where are we going to see him play next season?

Mo Salah is our legend at Anfield—an Egyptian who saw his trust in Slot wane during his final season at Anfield. Mo Salah has won many trophies with the team. Both on and off the field, Mo Salah is a Liverpool legend. What he achieved with Liverpool will never be forgotten.

Mo Salah’s departure might be followed by Wirtz. We’ll leave it up to Andoni Iraola, who has become the head coach now that the contract with Slot has been terminated.
Personally, I don’t have very high expectations for Iraola in his first season with Liverpool.

I'm sure Zidane has already started working. He will be working full speed ahead to select the best options and take the French national team to higher levels, to levels where they can win trophies. Of course, there will be the World Cup, but before that, there will be the European Championship, and winning the trophy there will be his primary goal. A grueling schedule will begin for Zidane. However, he has been living with the dream of this day for years, so I think it will be enjoyable for him.

Atletico Madrid could sell him if they wanted to make a very high price, but they might not want to take that risk. He's the team's star and a striker. The team wouldn't want to let him go, but the possibility of him transferring to Barcelona closes all doors for Atletico Madrid. I think they should focus on talking to Alvarez and convincing him to stay.

Now even though Atletico said about the sale clause problem but it looks like they will sell Julian Alvarez this season especially with Julian's statement that he does not want to stay and there are indications of leaving then this should be a signal that Atletico should sell players who do not want to be in the squad for next season because forcing it will look bad because it can affect chemistry and teamwork.

This is probably what Barcelona are chasing because their opportunities are open just waiting for the right offer it's just that Barcelona can or cannot spend more than 100 million for this transfer especially after they spent more than 80 million for a Gordon.
They are eager to sign players but keep in mind that their cash flow is only improving at the moment and has not fully recovered so there needs to be more consideration from Barcelona on this matter.

It is very possible that Marcus Rashford will be playing for Manchester United in the upcoming season. I still stand on the fact that Rashford is a decent player, so he can still play a part at Manchester United. Manchester United will be playing in four competitions in the upcoming season,  so they definitely need a big squad,  so having someone like Rashford as a squad player will definitely do more good than harm. Like you mentioned Carrick might have plans for him, but let's wait and see what happens.

However, he has been living with the dream of this day for years, so I think it will be enjoyable for him.

Finally, Zidane long wait has come true. For the past 5 years, he has never received an offer from a club, just waiting for the opportunity to coach the French national team. He has already lined up everything including his staff and documents that will be officially signed this month. As an experienced coach at club level and supported by the world's top players available in the French squad, it will be easy for him to make France a team to be wary of. He will lead France in the UEFA Nations League, Euro 2028 and the 2030 World Cup. This opportunity is a new experience for him and also a way to prove his abilities as a coach with a champion mentality.

Carrick has plans for Rashford and must have included him on his list of players next season which is the main reason Rashford don't want to go to Turkey because I could remember the first time that Barcelona showed their intentions of not keeping him, he said Rashford should come back to Old Trafford.

It's good news. Rashford should focus on his career and improve himself for a better tomorrow under Carrick. Barcelona will regret it later.

I agree with you that selling him off when they have a lot of competition to play in is not a good line of action because they might return back to the transfer market and spend a lot of money for another player, since they need more players to strengthen their squad depth.

Micheal Carrick will definitely utilize him if he stays out at the club, but he might not be a regular starter as he is used to be in the past. Though he might still move away from the club this summer if a good offer comes in before the end of the transfer window, but until then, he will is still a Manchester United player.

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?

He is a young and talented footballer. Since PSG has no intention of selling him, they are demanding a high price.
If he wants to leave, the club looking to sign him will have to pay that amount.
Staying at PSG would also be good for him; for PSG, the goal is always to win the Champions League—rather than just Ligue 1—and they are the strongest contender to achieve that.
