⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[reagansimms]

The same holds great potential for Salah. And if things go the same way, Salah's quality could lead Trabzonspor to the league championship...

I think that Salah could still have given a lot to football that counts in terms of tournaments such as the Champions League, in teams that are still top. He decided to go to Trabzonspor due to his personal decision and he will certainly find himself much more at ease, without too much pressure on him, with his family happier, given that he approached them for religious reasons, and this alone makes the difference.

Mo Salah decision to join Trabzonspor marks a new chapter in his career and brings happiness to his family. Although many believe he is still capable of contributing at the highest level and is still very competitive to play for an elite Champions League club, especially since he has proven his sharpness when representing Egypt in the World Cup, However, his decision to move to the Turkish league was a personal step aimed at making both him and his family feel more comfortable, given the different football atmosphere and cultural proximity. Playing for Trabzonspor certainly entails a different kind of pressure, far less intense than being a key pillar for Liverpool in the fiercely competitive Premier League, the goal here is not chasing trophies or the limelight, but rather finding comfort and prioritizing family.

Well maybe Barcelona wouldn’t get that payback, Madrid might snatch him away from them again because Rodri seems to prefer playing for Real Madrid more because he wants to come back to his birth city which is Madrid, but let’s see how this later unfolds.

-Snip-

Rodri has always been open to Real Madrid up until this very news and it's quite disappointing seeing this especially knowing that Barcelona getting him will make things more difficult for them.

I feel Real Madrid not signing goes beyond fee negotiations, they just don't want him because of past history and so I don't see this as Barcelona beating them to his signature.

Shirt sales?? To hell with that. Doesn't it bother you that Arsenal were so good last season that they were presented with the top slots to claim 4 trophies in one sitting, but they only won the premier League by a narrow margin? Bear in mind that they had one of the most prolific attacks that season and their confidence/ coordination was unbreakable. Maybe they would have lost everything if they had vini in the squad.

Prolific attack last season? Really?  
If anything, it was Arsenal's solid defense that won them the trophy and not the attack. Arsenal was just two goals more than Manchester United, a team that had a very shitty start to the season

Are you trying to doubt what had already been proven or you didn't watch their matches/ you just love to argue blindly, which one of them? 71 goals in a season doesn't convince you that they had a prolific attack?
How many of those were headed goals-- 17, meanwhile 57 was inside the box making it 80.3% of their league total. So tell me, did the defenders score 57 goals from inside their opponent box?

"Well, City had more goals than that", but they didn't win the trophy.

Just because Arsenal won the trophy last season does not mean that they should relax. They should always keep building because the opposition is not sleeping.

Back to the main topic, this is exactly why they don't need Vini.

I don't think I'm familiar with any past history of Rodri and Real Madrid or maybe you don't mean it in that light, either ways, some of us will like to know what happened that made you say, it might be because if past history. I know Rodri was played for Atletico Madrid which most of us here knows but I don't know if any past history that you meant. It's true that Rodri actually wanted to move to Real Madrid even before the world cup. His a fine player and wat good at the DM position, if his signed to Real Madrid, he will be a great asset to the team but I really don't know why Real Madrid isn't looking at that direction. Rodri is way much more versatile, coordinated and knows his job than what Real Madrid currently has in that position.

They just wanna flip those players. They hope, they can flip their price for profit if their players are doing well. However, some players performed poorly, and didn't meet their expectation. So they have to be more patience in developing these poor players, then they can sell him to get back their BEP from bought them.

So this is their business model, when they sold a player, then they will sign a one to be developed. They just acted like a football players factory. So don't be surprised if they have gigantic squad in almost every season after the acquirement of new owners.

This scheme is also used by Brighton, and it helps them to sustain their team financial even in some moments, they made huge surpluss by sold a player with massive price.

Let's say that now the fact of seeing football as a business, as a way of making profit, is no longer new. It's something that has been facing our European championships for some time now. And i is talking about Europe because it's something that happens in any championship.
Each team has its own ways of solving crises and as prices continue to rise, they must always find new ways to keep up.

True, but you will be rarely big teams who used this kind of business in the past. However, things changed how club is also trying to make some money these days. Apart from that the team who is now using this kind of business is facing a huge downfall on its performance.

So this kind of business strategy helps club to sustain financially, but they have to sacrificed their competitiveness because they have to change their squad anytime.



Another update from Barcola's sage. PSG wants 150m for him. I think Liverpool has to find an alternative for him. PSG ain't a poor club, and they're not in the need of money. Pursuing him is already a mistake by Liverpool. 150m for b2b UCL champion absolutely

make sense if we compare him to the Morgan, Elliot and Isaak who never won prestigious trophies in their career.

I don't think they wanna break another transfer record by signing him.

Barcelona signing Rodri will be a very big blow to Real Madrid,  because Rodri is a very good player and will make the Barcelona team even more better. I think if Barcelona gets him, Real Madrid will only have themselves to blame, because I think Rodri just wants to move back to Spain and he was ready to move to Real Madrid,  but they never came in fully for him, but with this recent report,  it really shows that Barcelona are very interested in him and he is also fine with the move. Like I said earlier,  I still believe that what was more important to Rodri is moving back to Spain and Barcelona is giving him the opportunity to move back home.

This comment is hilarious! I've read it three times already! 

In case you dont know, for most Spanish players, Barcelona feels more like home to them. Rodri has given the green light to Barcelona; it is obvious he prefers Barcelona over Real Madrid.

As you can see, the operation is full speed for Rodri to FCB.

Surprisingly, Rodri has decided to turn down Real Madrid's offer and chosen a move to Barcelona instead. But looking back at the recent World Cup, this transfer actually comes as no surprise. Spain's squad featured eight Barcelona players and not a single one from Real Madrid. Rodri built great chemistry with the Barca players while playing for the national team—after all, they didn't win the World Cup for nothing. He likely wants to maintain that chemistry with his international teammates at the club level. Well, Barcelona can only be congratulated on signing Rodri

If Barcelona ends up signing rodri they have made a very beautiful signing that will help them lift the champions League. Someone was telling me that all this is happening because rodri and his agent want Real Madrid to come for him with higher price and contract, I really don't believe the story or what he told me for me, i believe rodri really wants to go to Barcelona especially since many of his country players are in the same Barcelona.
If a player really wants to go to a club he's going to cut down his price to make sure that the club can pay him, if rodri really wants Barcelona he can do that for them, so people should not think that Barcelona can't pay him.

I’m not surprised that Rodri turn down Real Madrid offer just because of Barcelona come along and want him to play for the club, beside all Barcelona players are mostly Spain so why won’t he go for the club where he will be more friendly and have the best time with his international teammates like you said. Just that he should have considered Real Madrid because they are the once that approach first for the movement before Barca but what could I say players must go to the club they feel is the best for them.

[Lillominato89]

Finally Mo Salah left the Reds as a free agent to join Trabzonspor, the club confirms agreement of 2 years, can Egyptian perform better than we saw him last season with Liverpool?

I reckon Momo Salah would have been a great fit for my beloved Inter.
Despite his age, he’s still a top player in his position; Trabzonspor have pulled off a brilliant transfer coup in my view, though who knows if he’ll be able to maintain this level of performance for a few more years.
It’s strange, though, that Liverpool didn’t try to renew his contract.

[bangjoe]

I can see this happening if we get Barcola.

@FabrizioRomano
?⚪️ Tottenham are in direct talks with Cody Gakpo’s camp over possible move this summer, after approaches revealed in July.

Deal depends on Liverpool decision; doors closed back in July but now could depend on financial package/Barcola pursuit.

#THFC are trying.
https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/2084965308209455192

Gakpo is definitely a very good player and i think he could make more of a difference at Tottenham rather than Liverpool. At Liverpool he was having a harder time finding and carving out the right spaces to be able to play. He had a lot of pressure on him, given that Chiesa, who plays in the same role as him, always managed to do better as a substitute. And the fans were starting to suffer from this. So, if i were him i would take the possible transfer to Tottenham very seriously.

What is the problem Tottenham are not so good overall from his performance, that is a heavy consideration if going to Tottenham despite getting a much better playing space there, Gakpo is a player who baus I agree with that, but it is useless if you do not have teammates who can support his talent, we know Tottenham in the last season were very bad and almost relegated from the Premier League.
I think staying at Liverpool is much better even though the opportunity to play is small because there is Chiesa, but if he comes on the field and can show his quality is much better, the manager will definitely consider Gakpo to be one of the best options to be a starter later, and on the other hand actually Liverpool still need Gakpo as the main backup for the left wing and an alternative to the central attack.

[Ryu_Ar1]

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.

If it's a done deal, it's essential for him to ensure his team isn't incomplete. Mourinho has been building his squad despite the weaknesses shown over the last three years, during which they achieved absolutely nothing. Furthermore, Florentino Pérez, having won the presidency again, must deliver, and he's buying every player Mourinho tells him to. Expectations are high for him, and he also has a strong interest in Rodri. It seems everything is progressing well. I hope these minor issues are resolved so they can assemble a strong Real Madrid team.

The problem is in terms of the position of this player that I am confused. Yan Diomande has the ideal position of left winger but we know for the current left position Vini still cannot be replaced by anyone although rumors are currently quite crowded for Vini but until now he is still a Madrid player.
Forcing him to be on the right wing even though it can still be forced but this becomes gambling is it at such an expensive price to be gambling? I don't really understand the transfer of this player.

Currently Yan Diomande has been confirmed to be in Madrid's uniform next season after resolving a dispute between agents and is currently the most expensive player for Madrid to buy after Jude stayed as the most expensive player in several seasons.

On the other hand I found an interesting article for Madrid.
Real Madrid Smash Own January Transfer Record With Incredible Summer

From this article it should have been answered Why Every Year Madrid is always one of the clubs that always surfluses in terms of finance because not only in sponsorship but for the transfer of players they are also always a really brilliant move when most of the sales in this summer transfer are young players and their Castilla products.

[cande86]

Why did they keep him for so long then? They brought in Kolo Muani and then got rid of him, while Vlahovic remained. The last two seasons haven't been good, I agree, but any player who isn't happy won't perform at a high level either. I'm far from saying that he deserved it, but if his contract had been like that, or at least similar, I'm sure he would have played better. It’s a shame because he isn't a bad player; he just needs more playing time to show what he can do.

or i think that Colommuani didn't have the necessary space at Paris Saint-Germain because he was obviously surrounded by players of the highest level, and it's understandable. The real Colomuani was seen at Frankfurt and in a loan phase at Juventus. i am really very happy that he is back playing in Serie A because i am convinced that he can really give a lot to both Juventus and the Italian championship.

[Juicyhome]

It's done, Vinicius Jr has extended his contract with Real Madrid till 2033, Arsenal can now focus on another player, Vinicius Jr wasn't meant for them, he's Real Madrid player and he want to keep playing for them, I'm happy Real Madrid and Vinicius Jr finds a ground on his contract.

Arsenal should focus on how to get a hand on champions league before trying to sign a supper star like Vinicius Jr,  a player if his kind would not play in a club without a champions league history.

If it were officially announced with a contract right there on the table in front of him, you can imagine just how crazy this would be.
The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona began even before La Liga kicked off, and this marks the start of a brilliant strategy to foster a professionally competitive atmosphere.

There have indeed been reports of Real Madrid’s denial (a lack of interest from club officials) regarding rumors that Rodri wants to join Real Madrid, but I think this is just drama designed to stir up the market. Logically speaking, it makes no sense that a player as intelligent as Rodri would be so unattractive to the club.

This was the same thing many sports analysts said. He has built strong relationships with many Barcelona players in the national team. There are reports that Barcelona are offering a better contract and pay package. It is estimated that Rodri will earn about €30 million for the four-year contract. José Mourinho would be disappointed by this news because the midfielder is one of the best in the world.

Finally Mo Salah left the Reds as a free agent to join Trabzonspor, the club confirms agreement of 2 years, can Egyptian perform better than we saw him last season with Liverpool?

I thought he would go to the Saudi league or MLS, but he actually chose to play in the Turkish league instead.. maybe Trabzonspor made him a really good offer, and there were other factors to consider, perhaps the fact that Turkey is an important destination for Egyptian players’ careers, and it's still in Europe. It's great for him to have found a new team after his legendary career at Liverpool.. hopefully, he'll make a great contribution to his new club.

Many former European players have chosen to join Turkish clubs, mainly because the Turkish league still offers a pathway to the UCL. So, even if they end up playing for clubs that are less prestigious than the top teams in Europe's bigger leagues, they still have a chance to compete in one of the most prestigious tournaments and enjoy that experience.

As for whether Mohamed Salah could perform better at Trabzonspor than he did at Liverpool, I don't think that's realistic. Just look at his age. His performance and productivity are naturally no longer at the same level as they were during his prime.

Aside from the chemistry that Rodri must have had with the Barcelona players in the Spanish team, at the point where the two clubs are interested in having a player like him, his choice will now go down to the club he loves the most, and he has clearly made his preference obvious, choosing Barcelona as a clear favorite for him over Real Madrid.

The Spanish league will continue to be dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona because, unlike the Premier League, where many clubs are making big moves, the big transfer news in the Spanish league is all coming from Barcelona or Real Madrid.

I reckon Momo Salah would have been a great fit for my beloved Inter.

It’s strange, though, that Liverpool didn’t try to renew his contract.

Salah has been due for a new club since he was not supposed to be in Liverpool this just-concluded season; it dampened his record. He should have left Liverpool after helping them win the Premier League.

The Turkish league is a new challenge for him, a time to find his spark again.

[nikola22]

Mudyrk was signed with great expectations, and his club paid a lot of money for him. However, he never quite found what he was looking for at Chelsea. His long suspension has now ended, and he will be back in the Chelsea shirt. Of course, Xabi can plan a game plan that utilizes his explosive power and speed. If he maintained his form well during his suspension, he can play for Chelsea again. However, in my opinion, a year-long loan spell would have been a wiser decision for Chelsea.

I agree, expectations about Mudryk were high when he moved from Shakhtar to Chelsea. But it's hardly his fault that he didn't live up to them. perhaps all the Chelsea coaches during that time have failed to properly utilize Mudryk's strengths. who knows, maybe Alonso will be able to find a way to connect with Mudryk. the player has potential and many probably see it. are there some options on Polymarket with bets which club Mudryk will be loaned to? )

I believe that players have their choices of team they either dream of playing for it could be that Rodri has been wanting to play for Barcelona and Barcelona look more coordinated and play more of unity football than Real Madrid now, and also from the Spain national team that won the World Cup it has majority of Barcelona players in it which Rodri is also part of the team that won the World Cup for Spain. It's a good sign for Barca Rodri is a nice player he will give the Barca team more strength to challenge for the tittle again to see that they become the Laliga Champions 🏆 again.
