⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[AprilioMP]

Como is completing Chalobach's transfer from Chelsea. Weird to see the deal was only 30m while i remember correctly Chelsea wanted more than 30m from them. But it's a good deal because Como get their preferred defender while Chelsea also let one of their washed leaves from the squad.
So this has been a beautiful day for all of Chelsea fans because the club manage let Badiashile, Chalobach and Disasi to leave from their squad.

Badiashile > Napoli
Chalobach > Como
Disasi > Crystal Palace / Westham.

So Chelsea can't use those defenders as their scapegoat next season because they will be no longer there. 

Como is currently formulating serious plans for the 2026–27 season. Fabregas has the full support of Como’s owners to ensure the club operates in line with his strategy, thereby helping the team achieve its vision.
Chalobah. This defender will be a key player in supporting Fabregas’s strategy, as Chalobah has experience playing in highly competitive leagues.

Fabregas realizes that strengthening the defense can make things easier for other lines, as a strong defense allows the team’s strategy to thwart powerful attacks from opposing forwards.
The key point lies in Como’s commitment as a team with a forward-looking vision. If they were already a force to be reckoned with in Serie A last season, their efforts in this transfer window further reinforce that they are no ordinary team. From a business perspective, Como will attract the attention of major investors.

I’m just waiting patiently to see if Vinícius Júnior is going to remain in Real Madrid or he’s going to join Arsenal.
Everything is becoming complicated every day, I don’t even know when Real Madrid is going to make the final offer to Vinicius junior, they should quickly complete everything so we are going to know the next step.
I want Vinicius Junior to leave Real Madrid and join Arsenal, I want to see him perform in another club.
If he should remain in Real Madrid, Mbappé is going to always be the leader over there and there’s no way he can take that from him. It’s time for him to leave.

Did you not watch Vinicious Jr. trained yesterday with his teammates? He was posted on all Real Madrid socials yesterday to confirmed that he is not going anywhere. The dude is going no where at least for now, he is a star but also he is nothing without Real Madrid and one thing we need to clear is Real Madrid will not bend to his demands, doing so is going to trigger the rest of the players agent wanting to ask for 80% image right, they are not doing it.

Everyone is saying go to Arsenal, he will get what he wants but the truth is that he might go there and may not even get what he want. The money he needs might be there in Arsenal but the attention might not be there. He will be forgotten not say Vinicious Jr. altitude and character will not be entertain there. I don't even think Arsenal has time for half of what he is doing in Real Madrid, if he comes there and start those things he do in Spain, England will not give him a chance.

I don't even think Arsenal has time for half of what he is doing in Real Madrid, if he comes there and start those things he do in Spain, England will not give him a chance.

Let’s say that for Arsenal, switching from Trossard to Vinícius Júnior is a big step up; what’s more, the player has never made a secret of his desire to play in the Premier League, and at the moment Arsenal are the best team in the English league. It seems they can offer him a weekly wage of 500k pound not bad at all for a player like him, he would be earning as much as Haaland.
For Real Madrid, the alternative would be to see him leave for free next summer, whereas now they’d at least earn 100–120k.

[*Ace*]

Personally, I don't really like Vinicius Jr. as a player. He's definitely a strong player, but not a truly top player. He's presumptuous in thinking he's the best. But honestly speaking, technically he leaves a lot to be desired. Real Madrid invested a lot in him, but it didn't quite pay off. and therefore Real Madrid is right to propose a contract that benefits them and not the player

I disagree on this where you said he is not a strong player, he is strong and he is not afraid to make entry through defenders, he doesn't take ball and run through the corners, he make sure he face any player that is defending and that is best confidence that Real Madrid has in him and speaking of loyalty, he is doing the best to himself, he want better that's why he is asking for more but at the same time he is nothing without Real Madrid if he decide to leave.

The Arsenal people are calling him to go, he can make it if he goes there but I'm very certain that his PR is going to go down to all time low. He is having the attention he is having now because he is still in Real Madrid, if he leaves he is not getting does deals that he thinks will be available in other places. More over, there are plenty of star players in Arsenal that are looking for opportunities too, they can't abandoned others and make him become their only face.

Maybe the translator didn't help me much in expressing myself, but I didn't say that Vinicius isn't a strong player, in fact I said that, but that I don't consider him an absolute top player. As a player he has many shortcomings, he often fakes non-existent fouls (everyone does it, not just him) and he always tries to make fun of his opponents by provoking them.
For me, a top player, in addition to being strong, must also be fair to his opponents.

After returning to the club, Vinicius made his demands on Real Madrid. He wanted a salary of €20 million per year, plus additional bonuses, and all rights to his image would belong solely to him, as is now the case with Mbappé. Since Real made an offer to Vinicius and said it was final, there's a possibility he could leave for another club, his transfer to Arsenal is now becoming more realistic. And of course, that's assuming it's all true and not just a media fabrication.

I don’t think Vinicius will leave Real Madrid this summer, because he trained with the squad yesterday after returning from the holidays. Vinicius is one of the key players for Real Madrid, especially in the Champions League. Arsenal is trying to sign the player this summer due to some misunderstanding between Vinicius and the club. But I believe Real Madrid will try everything possible to reach an agreement to offer him a new contract.

I would also like to see a player like Vinicius play for a Premier League club one day, even a legend like Ronaldo left the club when they believed it was the right time to play in a different league. Real Madrid is considering Mbappe as one of their best players because he joined the club in a free transfer, and every player will be at a club where they can see him as the best in the squad.

It seems they can offer him a weekly wage of 500k pound not bad at all for a player like him, he would be earning as much as Haaland.

There’s still a possibility that he might leave Real Madrid maybe at the last minute of the window because ESPN reported yesterday that he was offered a contract of 22 million per year but he’s still demanding the 30 million per year contract which I don’t think Madrid would give him.

And as for Arsenal, I don’t think they’ll offer Vini a 500k pound per week contract because from what I read they’re willing to offer him a 400k pounds per week contract which is a record breaking deal for the club. But as it stand we can’t really say anything about this deal because it might take a complete turn at anytime before the window closes.

For Real Madrid, the alternative would be to see him leave for free next summer, whereas now they’d at least earn 100–120k.

If he didn’t accept Real Madrid proposals, they’ll probably sell him to Arsenal this season.

[KTChampions]

Let's say if Arsenal were a team that needed to catch up, they could take risks. What's the point of taking risks when the most important thing is to preserve what they already have?
Look what Vinnie says openly:

I keep wondering why Arsenal really wants to disrupt the flow in their club with a different spirit. Just because he can, doesn't mean they should let him do it. That man complains too much, and snaps easily like a market woman. Is that what we're preparing to cope with this season? The pressure from the game is already too much, so bringing in someone who only understands and wants to play the sport when it favours him the most is a selfish start.

To be at the top throughout your entire career, you have to be hungry for achievements. Can we say the same about Vinnie? He already has all the club titles thanks to Real Madrid. Who knows what he'll focus on next: activism or football.

Activism surely. I'm not trying to justify what those racist do to him, but there's a reason why he's called a professional player.

Theoretically, there could be a positive scenario: a change of club would restore Vinnie's hunger for football and he would focus on it. It is obvious that he is one of the best players in the world right now and this will benefit Arsenal, Arsenal are objectively dull in attack. Plus, Arsenal will get a boost in image, in shirt sales and so on.
But there's also a negative scenario: Vinnie focuses on activism and starts sowing discord everywhere, both on (dressing room) and off the field.
In any case, it's big-time gambling. Why would Arsenal participate in it, considering they're doing well without it?
I'm thinking from a bettor's perspective: the potential profit is good, but does it justify the risk? I don't think so.

Como came fourth in just concluded Serial A thus qualified for Uefa  League, the club would challenge for both domestic league and UCL there is the need to strengthen their squad and add more depth to the team,  Chalobach is a talented defender and would be a big asset to Como with his wealth of experience would be a plus to Fabregas side, meanwhile it takes a lot of courage to play such a inexperience team in UCL being the first time in the history of the club without signing some experience players into the team, it obvious playing midweek matches and weekend matches would cause fatigue if the squad lack enough fepth, I believe before the end of transfer window Fabregas would definitely sign more experience players who are capable of playing toe-to-toe with the lines of Juventus, AC Milan, Napoli, Inter Milan.

I'm interested in who they are bringing to replace these players. Last season, Chelsea not only suffered because of defenders, but attackers were also a major problem why Chelsea finished poorly and even out of the Champions League in a disgraceful manner.

Chalobah shouldn't have been sold, i prefer selling Tosin to Chalobah, for a backup defender, Chalobah is better than him.

Every coach as their own personal taste of the kind of player they will love to work with, I think same case also occured in Manchester United when Ruben Amorim was in charge by placing Urgate over Kobbie Maino. Players love when the manager give them more time to play than sitting on the bench for too long.

Como and Dortmund are also currently exploring a loan agreement for Yan Couto. Previously, there had been talk of a possible agreement for the Dortmund defender's loan fee of €2 million. There's an extension option for around €20 million. They're just waiting for the signing to be finalized. The Brazilian defender is actually still quite young, currently around 24 years old. Como is currently preparing his team for the upcoming UCL, as the competition in the UCL is certainly much more competitive and intense.

Como

[Ryu_Ar1]

there is still no Yan Diomande name in it so my assumption is maybe this time Madrid/Leipzig delay or indeed Fabrizio made a mistake like the previous season about some transfers.

But with the credibility that Fabrizio has always maintained until now, I feel that Madrid are still postponing official confirmation for Yan Diomande because they see polemics from some people who are called experts now although there is no confirmation but most likely Yan Diomande will wear the Madrid Jersey next season.

There have been some rumours about this and one that is sticking out now is a dispute between agents that made Yan Diomande's inauguration delayed for a while and it looks like this needs intervention from FIFA to make things more open and clear.

Report-the main reasons behind the delay of Yan Diomande's transfer to Real Madrid

Looking at this article actually Madrid do not have a problem but they are in a slightly more complicated situation because of the inter-agent problems of Yan Diomande but for the transfer and deal problems they have pocketed it so I think it's not a problem just to see fifa's decision on this agent problem.

Although I do not really understand where he will be placed later but when Madrid are confident of signing Yan Diomande then certainly Mou need this player for their next season plans.

They should better bring in players that can change things for them because last season was a clear underperfomance from all the players. The painful thing about this Chelsea squad is how they combine expensive players with nothing positive to show for it. Ever since Silva left, Chelsea defense has been shambolic by the inexperienced players. The attack is toothless and useless too wasting chance in front of goal post. I'm also happy with these names leaving because they didn't impact the team. Chelsea problem is not only the defense. Even if they strengthen their defense and the attacks remain the way it was last season, they are going no where.

Como

Como have been very active in the transfer market, they frequently appear in transfer news, and although their signings haven't been particularly high profile, but I think Fabregas is focused on building squad depth. That's important because the team will have to compete in two major tournaments this season, Serie A and the Champions League. In that situation, he'll definitely need to rotate the squad to keep the players fresh and help the team cope with the demands of the entire season.

This deal is a complicated one and we are not sure if he is staying at Real Madrid or he will be joining Arsenal in this transfer window, but you need to understand that him reporting for training does not change anything, maybe he is just being a professional.  We all know that he prefers to stay at Real Madrid, but he is still not ruling out moving to Arsenal.  If the reports are true he already agreed personal terms with Arsenal in principle,  so that means their is a possibility of him joining Arsenal.  We also needs to consider the fact that he has won everything with Real Madrid and might decide to take on a new challenge at Arsenal if Real Madrid don't meet his demands,  although I also think he will remain at Real Madrid,  but I don't think we should rule out the possibility of him joining Arsenal this summer.

Players love when the manager give them more time to play than sitting on the bench for too long.

That's certainly true, but if you look at the differences between the two players you mentioned, Kobbie Maino is much better, as we saw when they both played last season.
Every player wants to be included in the starting lineup, but sometimes coaches fail to see their potential, as was the case with Kobbie Maino under Ruben Amorim.
Under Michael Carrick, Kobbie Maino's performance actually improved. Sometimes coaches use different strategies and game plans, which can lead to certain players not fitting into the desired style of play. I think that's what happened with Kobbie Maino and Urgate.

[Majestic-milf]

 Como are making good moves in the transfer market and I like the fact that they signed Trevor Chalobah and are not just relying on the players that helped qualify for champions league competition so it's safe to say that they are ready for the new campaign. Como impressed last season so there's so many expectations for them this time around.

[Razmirraz]

Snip.

Como have been very active in the transfer market, they frequently appear in transfer news, and although their signings haven't been particularly high profile, but I think Fabregas is focused on building squad depth. That's important because the team will have to compete in two major tournaments this season, Serie A and the Champions League. In that situation, he'll definitely need to rotate the squad to keep the players fresh and help the team cope with the demands of the entire season.

Como movement in the transfer market this time is not as exciting as last season, they are still active in the transfer market, but not prominent In my opinion, that's part of Fabregas' strategy because he's the type of coach who always thinks three steps ahead, he doesn't need 11 starters, but 22 players who understand his system, that's why Como prefers 4 or 5 players who can operate in two different positions rather than buying 1 star player who reaches €80 million.

Fabregas goal is to add to his squad because this season he will lead his team to play in two different competitions. If he only relies on 14 or 15 players, it will be a burden for him because if some players get injured, Como will have difficulty competing with other clubs. As a former top player, Fabregas understands the importance of rotation when there are two matches scheduled in a week (Serie A and UCL), so rotation is key to preventing players from becoming fatigued and prone to injury.

Mykhailo Mudryk has been cleared to return to playing; fantastic news for the blues.

I don’t think Mykhailo Mudryk will be part of Xabi Alonso’s plans, even though he’s now eligible to play again after his suspension was lifted. Mudryk hasn’t played soccer for two seasons, and this has certainly had a significant impact on his performance. The question is, does Chelsea still need Mykhailo Mudryk, or is there a possibility he’ll be sold or loaned out to another club?

Mudryk surely wont play for Chelsea,i dont think its a smart move to put in a player that hasnt played in a long time. For him it would be smart to send him on loan to a club so he can get some playing time and then after that time that he comes back to Chelsea and plays if he shows that he is still good like he was. Still in Chelsea he was really bad and didnt show anything like he did before Chelsea so i think he was a complete miss for Chelsea

There’s still time for Chelsea before the transfer window closes to find a club willing to take Mudryk on loan. Mudryk has indeed been a failed signing for Chelsea; his performance was truly poor even before the issues he’s faced over the past two years. Personally, I’m not very sure if Xabi Alonso would want to include Mudryk in his squad or give him enough playing time. Especially since Mudryk’s fitness has surely declined after two years away from soccer. We’ll just have to wait and see what steps the management takes regarding Mudryk during this transfer window.
