⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Xyloo]

Madrid dominate the transfer market so fantastically that with what they have done, the automatic expectation of next season's performance demands should make a significant difference. There is no reason to complain. Unfortunately Florentino Perez forgot the position of a bum who currently cannot cover what Kroos and Modric left behind. The midfielders that Madrid currently have are still considered unsatisfactory. When the opportunity to sign Rodri arose, Madrid failed to pursue him seriously, ultimately leading him to decide to join Barcelona instead.

Not that impressed with those signings to be honest. Bernardo Silva is old, Dumfries is average, Konate is inconsistent. I don’t even know who the guy above Konate is. Also Mourinho is past his best.

Not sure what to make of Diomande, he was in high demand but looked crap in the World Cup. Cucarella is a good signing though. I don’t think it’s enough to make Real the power that they were.

I think the players chosen are good players. Also, there's Carlos Espi, a player you might not know. He's almost 2 meters tall, a forward. Moreover, he's very young and I think he had a very good performance in Spain last year. Real Madrid and Barcelona wanted him, but Real Madrid acted first. I think he's a forward with potential. At least in games where the match is tight and set pieces are effective, he could be one of the players who can unlock the defense as a pivot forward. I also have complete confidence in Diomande, Mourinho will develop him like a gem.

Just saw this and if it happens I believe some Arsenal fans won't be happy about losing Viktor Gyökeres, both switch is good but yet again Gyökeres has been a problems to defenders he come against. Between these two strikers who can do it better for Arsenal this season?

Who started this rumor, it’s completely untrustworthy. This deal isn’t going to happen this season. In fact, I’ve never even heard of any talks regarding a trade involving these two players. Both Arsenal and Atlético Madrid have stated that Alvarez and Gyökeres aren’t going anywhere. So Gyökeres and Alvarez will remain at their respective clubs and do their best this season. That’s why I don’t believe this rumor. Just ignore it.

I believe this news is from a couple of weeks ago, though it seems to me those were merely rumors, given that Álvarez is intent on moving only to Barcelona. However, I think that is unlikely to happen, as Barcelona is prepared to pay no more than €100 million for the transfer, whereas Atlético insists they won't let Álvarez go to Barcelona for less than €500 million, a stance that appears to be a matter of principle for them.

Atletico Madrid doesn't want to sell their player to either Barcelona or Real Madrid. I don't think Real Madrid will spend huge sums of money anymore because they spent a lot on Diomande. Their budget is now tight, and I'm sure Atletico Madrid won't sell the player to Barcelona. Considering Real Madrid can't afford him either, I think we'll be watching Julian Alvarez with Atletico Madrid for another year. He had a very impressive performance last year; let's see how he performs this year. If he performs similarly this year, we might see a battle between the teams next year, and they could spend a fortune on him.

I'm hoping for a better Real Madrid performance this season, almost all the players they bought in this transfer window are experienced, just the one you mentioned but he's a prospect with the potential of being great in the future. With that being said, I'm expecting alot of improvement from Real Madrid.

 They've done what's right by improving the team so they don't lose their reputation as one of the biggest in the world, lets see how it unfolds but i believe in Mourinho, he'll do better than his successors with these players that was added to his team, Hala Madrid!!!

Quite alright, although I feel like Bernardo Silva do not need too much pace to be successful in La Liga. He is technically sound and can manipulate games with his intelligence. Dumfries is a good attacking and defensive player, as much as he can do that very well, he is good to go. Konate just had one last bad season and he is inconsistent? What will you say bout Virgil then? That pal is a striker signed from Levante. Jose Mourinho I do not expect too much from honestly. All I see is him assembling a good squad ahead of the next manager.

Why didn't I see all these criticism when he was linked with a move to Liverpool? That's because his teammates couldn't convert chances.
Marc Cucurella valuable, we will see what Jose Mourinho can do with them.

Barcelona gets the greenlight to continue talked with Rodri and sooner his announcement will be official. Rodri offered himself to Real Madrid but maybe they were not serious about signing him, now it's Barcelona that's going to get him. Talks between Barcelona, Rodri and Manchester City has been okey and a few of around €60 million has been agreed upon. Barcelona are going to get this gem to further cement their already solid team while Real Madrid still doesn't have hopes of a proper DM since Casemiro left the club. Real Madrid are the actual losers of this deal and Barcelona are the winners here, they have a player with lots of experience to top it all.

We're still waiting for official announcements. Right now, the whole situation seems crazy: City didn't want to sell Rodri to Real Madrid for 60-70 million, but will sell him to Barcelona for 45 million (which is what the news is now saying Barcelona is willing to pay)? What kind of idiotic math is this? I don't understand it. If this is how it all works out, the main cunning man and beneficiary in this scheme will be Rodri, since he'll return to Spain and receive a salary of 30 million (before taxes).

I think Real Madrid has built a very good team. The quality of the players is good, but if they can overcome the issues of team cohesion, they can achieve very successful results in the league and the Champions League. I'm skeptical about Espi because he won't find a place in this Real Madrid squad. However, if we see it as a transfer for the future, he could be loaned out to another team to improve, just like Nico Paz. Real Madrid is a team that invests in young players early. Perhaps they are one of the best in the world at it. I don't understand why they signed Espi when they have a young striker like Endrick. I think Mourinho must have a plan.

There is no reason to complain. Unfortunately Florentino Perez forgot the position of a bum who currently cannot cover what Kroos and Modric left behind. The midfielders that Madrid currently have are still considered unsatisfactory.

Bernardino Silva is the reason why real Madrid midfield became less worried for Florentino Perez because I don't think a coach or club president would be beaten themselves up when they have already signed Bernardino. but actually why is it that till now people don't still believe that real Madrid midfield is safe with Bernardo Silva? Because the defense Modroc has built in real Madrid nobody believes that any other midfielders could build the same defense in the club, although Modroc was my most liked midfielder in the club but I believe that Bernardo Silva is the right catch because they're identical.

Well, I’d say the fans have very little to complain about regarding Real Madrid’s transfer window.
They’ve signed a World Cup-winning defender,
Denzel Dumfries, who was considered indispensable at Inter;
Diomande, for whom they paid a fortune and who is regarded as a very promising striker for the future;
plus other top-class players!
There’s still time left, so the transfer window is most likely not yet over for them

Bernardo Silva is a more offensive player compared to Luka Modrić. In fact, Real Madrid currently can't fill the void left by Kroos. No player, including Modrić, has been able to provide the same level of performance in that position. Therefore, a transfer is needed for that area. I don't think Bernardo Silva was chosen for that position. I believe Jose Mourinho will use him on the right wing, where he thinks he can be more effective.

One man food is another mans poison, because deep down this signings are all okay to me. Look, for the fact Real Madrid has not won any trophy in the last two seasons doesn't mean they don't have the squad to win them something, they have what it takes to win the Spanish La Liga title and even the UEFA Champions League title, but whatever is keeping them from winning is best known to them, so this signings you see here is likely to be a backup plan for Jose Mourinho because apart from Mack Cucurella I don't expect anyone of the to be starting any game, so they are likely a backup plan trust me.

[bastisisca]

I'm confident this deal won't go through, and Gakpo will remain at Liverpool.

However, looking at what the fans say about Gakpo, i have some doubts. i think he is absolutely a good player, even for a top club, but i see that he struggles a bit with Liverpool to provide the security that the club needs. So much so that the numerous times he was replaced by Chiesa, Chiesa found a way to score while he didn't.

So i would keep a close eye on the possible departure of the Dutchman.

Chiesa is the bigger mistake of Juventus.

Just saw this and if it happens I believe some Arsenal fans won't be happy about losing Viktor Gyökeres, both switch is good but yet again Gyökeres has been a problems to defenders he come against. Between these two strikers who can do it better for Arsenal this season?

I believe that Gyokeres, already this year, has demonstrated to Arsenal the hunger he has to differentiate himself from the others. He is truly a formidable player who has that malice that many teams would dream of. So i think he deserves to continue playing for Arsenal with the wickedness he has shown up to now.

Cody Gakpo might not have been fully reliable but still a key player especially now that Mou Salah is no longer in the club although maybe they may decide to cash out from him and go for their target Barcola or maybe get both although this might highly be dependent on the interest and how much a team is willing to pay.

Regardless, it's not like Cody Gakpo is a bad player he ustill good and rooms for improvement, Liverpool last season performance wasn't good overall and we can't use that to entirely rate him.

As for Gyokeres, there’s no doubt he’ll remain at Arsenal. Mikel Arteta himself has confirmed this. However, before Arteta made that announcement, there were indeed rumors surrounding Gyokeres. But those were just rumors, and Arteta has indicated that Gyokeres will still be part of his plans for the upcoming season.

As for J. Alvarez, Atlético Madrid actually has no intention of letting go of this key player. However, J. Alvarez himself has been pressuring Atlético Madrid’s management to grant him permission to transfer to Barcelona. Of course, Atlético Madrid won’t let him go, unless Barcelona offers a transfer fee that’s simply impossible for them to accept. So, I think it’s safe to say that both of these players will definitely remain with their current clubs.

Lol 

The guy above Konate is not a newly signed player. I think he's been with them for over a year now. He's featured on the picture because he's a defender and the image is mainly on Madrid defense. The signings look great on paper but in reality, they are just overhyped. I won't be surprised if they perform below expectations.

The only reason I have little confidence on Real Madrid is because Jose Mourinho would be in charge. The experience is still there even though I also believe he won't deliver as people anticipate. If he succeed to manage the chaos among the players, he's a step ahead to improve the team performance.

[giorgione]

 Now that it's kind of agreed that Vini isn't going to come to Arsenal its now left for the Gunners to focus on the players they have and also focus on doing better. I've seen them perform without some key players yet they did well so it's not now that the deal with Vini didn't go through that there'd be setbacks.
Real Madrid know why they pulled out of the deal and as Vinicius has decided to stay back, I just hope it doesn't become an issue when he starts demanding for respect.

I think that Vinicius understood where he is and that he couldn't pull the rope too much, because if it had broken it would certainly have broken against him. However, Arsenal are a complete team from every point of view. The fact of having sold Trossard does not imply an end to the good game. However, he will certainly have to find some reinforcements from midfield and in the offensive department.

[Cryptoprincess101]

Bernardo Silva is a more offensive player compared to Luka Modrić. In fact, Real Madrid currently can't fill the void left by Kroos. No player, including Modrić, has been able to provide the same level of performance in that position. Therefore, a transfer is needed for that area. I don't think Bernardo Silva was chosen for that position. I believe Jose Mourinho will use him on the right wing, where he thinks he can be more effective.

I could remember when Bernardo Silva was at his prime in Manchester City, he was very good in the midfield such that any match that he is not present, it used to affect the midfield. I agree that he is more offensive to Luka Modric but you can't compare the role that Modric played in the midfield. As for Toni Kroos, no midfielder has been able to replace his fierceness during his time at Real Madrid because ever since he left the team, they haven't been the same again. Even when Luka Modric tried to cover up the vacuum left by Kroos, his best wasn't enough.
      Though, I don't think that Bernardo Silva will change the lapses in the midfield of Real Madrid because his experience is going out of fashion and besides, he is slowly aging too. Of course, the right wing will be comfortable for him, so if Mourinho use him in that area he will function very fine.

[Ale88]

Now that Vini Jr.'s contract has been extended, can we say for sure that he's staying at Real Madrid? There were a lot of teams that want him but in the end he reached an agreement with his club. I think Real Madrid made a smart move. It would've been hard for them to find a player like Vini.

There were teams interested mainly because his contract was about to expire, so Real Madrid couldn't ask for too much money. Now that he signed the contract extension I highly doubt any club would make an offer for him because Real Madrid would ask for a ridiculous fee at this point that nobody would be willing to pay.
