⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Zoomic]

I remember that i posted a rumor about Martinelli, yet Zubimendi is also expecting to leave from this london club. So i think it's already confirmed with how Arteta has excluded him in the squad to fight Como soon. However, they're pricing him 90m, does it make sense?

I understand he's EPL champion, but is 90m worthy with his price? I think it must be around 60m - 70m range. Nevertheless it's hard to the understand what's Arteta's plan.

Arteta gets Bruno as Norgaard's replacement. So he must not sell anymore player to ensure his club can play regularly without feel worry about their players getting injury.

If he does it, so he must be looking for another number 6 or 8.

£90 million for Martin Zubimendi? Unless Chelsea now have surplus funds and are looking for ways to spend them because I honestly do not think that the Spain international is worth such amount of money.

If not for the high inflation in the transfer window as of today, Zubimendi is not supposed to be signed for anything above £40 million. Even if he joins Chelsea today, he's still not going to be a regular starter at the club so why should they splash such amount on a player that'll spend most of the season playing from bench?

I give a big round of applause for the Netherlands’ decision to appoint Xavi as head coach through 2030. As far as I can recall, this is the first time since 2012 that the Netherlands has been coached by someone from outside the country.
As for whether Xavi can bring something to the Dutch national team’s play, I think he can—and might even exceed their expectations. Why? Because, on average, the players on the Dutch squad are the type who can play at a fast pace and easily adapt to the tiki-taka strategy that Xavi will likely implement.

The Dutch National team coaches in 2012 are all Dutch Nationals, Xavi is the first foreign coach to manage the national team since 1978 and that’s almost 48 years. Xavi will have lesser pressure right now and even more time to analyze and implement a good system that might help them in the upcoming Euros, so he can prove himself.


Besiktas have completed the signing of Vlahovic on a three year contract, so he is no more on the market and unavailable to serve as an alternative if Barcelona didn’t get to sign Alvarez or their other Alternative strikers.

The Turkish League have made quite a number of transfers this summer window, this season would be competitive and Galatasaray might find it hard to dominate again.

How will Barcelona manage their attacking position if this guy Ferran Torres finally joins the current CL champions? Since they don't have Lewandowski in the picture Ferran should be next in line to continue from where the Poland striker stopped, although Torres has been the man at the front before Lewandowski came but how would Barcelona manage if they lose Ferran too? What's their next option?

I’d be surprised if this transfer actually goes through. After all, Barcelona hasn’t signed a replacement for Lewandowski yet. Torres is currently Barcelona’s only striker. But if Barcelona sells Ferran Torres to PSG and doesn’t sign another striker, I can’t imagine how Barcelona will fare next season playing without a true striker. Barcelona’s goal-scoring output would certainly drop dramatically. Ideally, Barcelona should sign a new top-class striker to replace Lewandowski before selling Ferran Torres, if they’re truly forced to sell him.

It affect them if Torres leaves, Barcelona need to make a fast move and looking at the transfer market currently, no club is ready to let go their best striker because the replacement will be hard to get and now we have this guy leaving Barcelona it will be a big loss. From how we have seen many transfer window this kind of move will only take time and probably towards the end of the transfer market that is when such move will take place. Playing without a striker only means that Barcelona will improvise by playing a false 9 which always work for them by now that football has taken a new turn false 9 sometimes does work properly. If not for age I don't think Lewandowski would have left the club but let's see Barcelona's next move.

Savinho have been absent from Manchester city training today, though some sources suggest it was due to illness but in recent weeks he have been pushing for a move away from Manchester city, with Tottenham looking like where he will head to. Just recently Manchester city sold Tijjani Reijnders and they will be looking to sell savinho.

Enzo Maresca is rebuilding the team to the way he wants it, though there are people that are not happy about the players that are leaving the club and the players he his bringing in.

For now nothing can be said yet, until when the season starts. The team performance will determine if he has done a good job during the transfer window. Well, I believe he deserves a chance, let see if he can bring the title back to Manchester city this season.

After Lewandowski left, now Ferran Torres is set to leave as well. Barcelona is currently waiting for a final official offer from PSG, and it seems that will happen soon. I just don’t understand Barcelona’s plan this time. That said, I do understand why Barcelona agreed to this transfer. The player himself has already reached a personal agreement with PSG, so there’s no reason to hold Torres back any longer. Although this situation will certainly make it even harder for Barcelona to find another striker, after looking into it, I realize this is all tied to the club’s financial issues. In fact, Barcelona seems to view player transfers out as a positive step for their financial situation, as they aim to balance the books with incoming players. All of this is also connected to Barcelona’s new signing, Anthony Gordon, whose registration process is still being finalized even though he has officially become a Barcelona player.

The amount is big but we can bargain while I have no issue for us signing Martin Zubimendi I feel we still needs to give more attention our back and forward attack. Although since he is a DM I hope he can actually do well in order to ease work and make things better for Caicedo since I don't really trust the other of our players taking such role including Latvia all thanks to his injury woes.

Andrey Santos was a fair player who has lot of potentials, the other youngsters available might be but it's still too hard to trust after seeing how some of them turns out in the end.

It's funny these time around how huge amount of money are put on players. Zubimendi isn't that brilliant in carrying out his duties which I believe is one of the reasons why Arsenal want to sell him. Why putting 90 million on such a player that wouldn't be among the first eleven of your club. Chelsea love buying players maybe, this is another opportunity for Arsenal to milk Chelsea.

Ferran Torres scored 16 goals in la liga last season, his goals helped Barcelona win their 29th la liga title. Since Ferran Torres is the only strikers at Barcelona, Barcelona will not sell him to PSG, but i will not be surprised if PSG secure his signature before the closure of the transfer window because anything is possible in football. If it happens that Barcelona let Farren Torres to join PSG it means that they have a striker in mind to sign before the season ahead will kick-off, so i think Barcelona playing without Ferran Torres will not affect them.

🚨🔴🔵 BREAKING: Ferran Torres to Paris Saint-Germain, HERE WE GO! 💥

Deal confirmed for World Cup final hero as Barça receive a fee worth €50m from PSG.

Too complicated for Enzo Maresca to make a final decision for the Manchester City wingers. Semenyo plays either right wing or left wing, Doku plays on the left, and Savinho on the right. But then, Semenyo is unbelievable throughout the pre-season on the left wing, and it seems Enzo Maresca is looking forward to starting him on the left. That means Doku sits on the bench while Savinho starts on the right. For Doku to start at the LW, it means Semenyo plays at the RW. By these standards, Savinho may leave Manchester City because he deserves to be a starter.

Because, on average, the players on the Dutch squad are the type who can play at a fast pace and easily adapt to the tiki-taka strategy that Xavi will likely implement.

Arne Slot was the first choice of the Royal Dutch Football Association. But he turned down the offer to replace Ronald Koeman. He said he prefers to engage in the day-to-day complex work of club management rather than to transition to national team management. The first report I heard was that he rejected the job because of financial disagreements, which he denied.

Xavi doesn't have much national team experience, but his few years in club management would have given him the needed skills and experience to rejuvenate the fumbling Dutch national team.

The process leading up to the agreement with Xavi to take over as head coach of the Netherlands after Koeman parted ways with the team was essentially the same as what applies to most new head coaches at national teams that are selecting a new coach.
In my view, Koeman’s decision was the best choice for him, as it allowed him to focus on coaching a league team rather than the national team. Salary was also a factor in his decision.

Coaching a team at the league level—which is often considered a failure—may have allowed him to learn from his experiences while coaching the Dutch national team and become a better coach. Especially someone like Xavi, whom we know to be intelligent.

This is purely speculation. Why is it difficult to see that?

"Xabi Alonso keen on a reunion with the Spanish midfielder" Can you tell me if the both of them ever worked together. It is the reason why I have said this a billion times and I will say once more, these handle purely propaganda based and at the same time far from a genuine sporting journalist.

The best clubs are known for having squad depth just if there's a case of injuries and also fatigue. I don't see Zubimendi leaving  it is broad day light propaganda if you ask me honestly.

Good signing for PSG, hopefully they loosen up in negotiations with Liverpool for Barcola now.

PSG have already signed Akillouche and are close to getting Godts from Ajax too.

Barcelona has to stick to the alternative solution, and their fans must stop to feel delutional to get Alvarez from Atletico Madrid. However, they don't put striker as their priority target for now. They're likely trying to close Rodri's transfer from City who demands €60m. So possible scenario is that they will execute Rodri's transfer, then signing a new striker.

Nevertheless, talking about Ferran join in PSG with €50m sounds a bargain deal for PSG. Barcelona is laughable club by sold him for discontinued price.

When so many non proven players priced averagely more than €100m, yet the guy who helped Spain to win WC go to PSG with for only €50m.

Barca is a terrible club in selling player.

Ferran Torres is a good signing for PSG, they let go of Gonçalo Ramo and sign Ferran Torres, who score a winning goal for Spain against Argentina in World Cup final, Ferran Torres is a very good striker, I don’t know why Barcelona decided to sell the player when they need striker at this moment, Lewandowski has left the club and now Ferran Torres that remain is joining PSG, my question is that which striker Barcelona is going to use when season start? Because Atletico Madrid is not going to sell Alvarez for them.

Ferran Torres made a good choice for joining PSG, he was never valued by Barcelona fans, they always said he misses chances a lot when the game did not favour them, he even stated that if Barcelona did not want him to go they need to show him that they need him, he a World Cup winner now and he feel like he has to right to play for any club. PSG attack should be scared of next season because they are currently the best attack in the world right now.

I don't blame them at all because he is the only one they have on their list and they know it will be the hardest to get but that Rodri is all they needed and he can help them very much in that midfield, who knows they might stop that crazy high line that caused them too many goals as of last season. This is what PSG have been struggling to get and with Kolo Muani out Ramos out it gives them that free opportunity to go ahead with this deal and is the best decision they made like as a replacement for the guys that went off the team, for now Barcelona need to work faster to get a striker if not they'd play without a striker like I said before.

It will be a bad decision made by Arteta if this deal happens I think Arsenal dream to win next season is over because how this guy Zubimendi did last season. I thought Arteta can play Zubimendi alongside Bruno Guimaraes because both are same profile player but Zubimendi is more offensive and defensive player so they can pain it easily and solve their midfield problems if Zubimendi leave arsenal I think there will be pressure on Rice and Bruno Guimaraes and Arteta use the high press tactics so they will injured at the mid of the season note my word if the Zubimendi deal happens and they didn't fins any good replacement of Zubimendi.

It will always be a dream for Barcelona or rather the fans in the rest of this transfer time because they are very confident especially by removing Araujo and now Ferran at a price big enough to add to their current cash flow.

But signing Julian Alvarez without drama is difficult, 100 million has been rejected by Atletico since the beginning and while they still can not raise the clause then the status will remain the same where maybe they will not get a striker for half of the season if only Julian Alvarez is used as a benchmark.

Regarding Julian Alvarez now the interest seems to be growing because Arsenal are on the list and it is likely that this will be a new drama after they lose momentum to bring Vini to the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal could get £38m Julian Alvarez transfer discount to rescue dream Andrea Berta deal

And it is done, no how would Barcelona manage since Ferran Torres has finally joined PSG? For now no striker is yet to join Barcelona but many fans are still hoping on Alvarez...

Ferran's departure has fueled numerous rumors that Barcelona is trying to reach an agreement with Julian Alvarez. Barcelona wouldn't simply sell their only striker option to Paris Saint-Germain. I'm sure they've taken steps towards reaching an agreement with the Argentinian striker. Even if that doesn't happen, I think they will make some transfers to strengthen the team with another quality striker. If Barcelona doesn't sign a striker, they will have a very bad start to the season. Considering Real Madrid's strong squad, Barcelona needs to acquire the best striker they can find.
