⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Shadiq]

Of course the reason for the appeal is not the (ridiculous) amount of money, it's because they want to set a precedent in their favor so in the future they'll be able to do it again. So winning the appeal would be very important for Barcelona. I have no idea how or why they think they are going to win because what they did what clearly wrong. No way to defend it.

This news is really funny to me. It is really funny that a world class club is fined 602 euros for a clear crime and then appeals against that fine.

The issue is not only limited to money. Rather, both clubs are playing with ego and neither is willing to lose. Barcelona wants to win the appeal because they will do the same thing in the future, they will try again to get Alvarez. But I don't think Atletico Madrid will be willing to let Alvarez go in the January transfer window.

Surely xabi alonso knows perfectly what he's doing, i don't think he's a player who doesn't deserve to be allowed to play, but let's say that as you say, the players eventually realize that they have to go somewhere else and they leave without causing too many problems, now i have to say that he would certainly do well to go and play elsewhere.

I have also wondered why Estêvão is not playing on Chelsea's wing. I know that you have an excellent selection in Chelsea's attacking segment—Neto, Palmer, Rogers—but still, not seeing any minutes from a player of that caliber is odd. Especially since we know that the young guy makes the difference when it comes to pure 1v1 skill and raw speed.

Kvarat's injury seems force PSG to sign a new forward, and they're eyeing Estevao for this. Estevao has been so talented but sadly he lacks of game time at his current club. He has a plan to leave from Chelsea to PSG as a loan until the end of season. Bro gets a golden opportunity to play in the best in the world right now.

He must not think for twice to go there, then get minutes under the best coach right now, then back with improved version to the Chelsea to fight for the main place in the squad. However, PSG may also sign him with very high fees if he is doing well there.

This is an opportunity that will never come for twice, i hope boy doesn't miss this by say YES. He's expected to go there in January window.

I can't wait to see how Enrique will coach him, then release his true potential.

I'll love to know the three conditions Chelsea's giving them, so later I'll take my time to get more informations about the news, this is a big opportunity Estevao, if he can impress the management maybe the could consider signing him permanently, he's young, talented and have the potential of being a great player in future.
 Enrique knows how to handle his kind, see how he groomed young players like Mendez, desire and João Neves, he'll do same with Estevao and turn him into a potential world class baller, just that Chelsea might not want to sell him permanently if that happens.

It seems the conditions related to these things.

- Salary, PSG has to cover up his full salary.

- Enrique has to guarantee his gametime in PSG.

- No buy option because Chelsea used him as their future investment, but they may change their stance if PSG sends a big bid for him.

So far we have seen how Enrique was doing it very well when it comes to develop young atlent. We have Barcola and Doue as the proof. Who knows he can become next potential young when he goes there, right?

Whoever that's saying that sacking Michael Carrick was a wrong decision is an enemy of the club. I know a lot of rival clubs/fans wants to see man united continue the way they are, they want Carrick to remain as head coach to enable them count free 3 points whenever they meet man united but they seem to be disappointed right now that Carrick has been sacked and a new manager is coming which means that there’s going to be an improvement because man United always have that kind of improvement whenever a new manager comes in especially at this time of the season.

this is a very delicate moment, in which every situation can be the most difficult, i don't know if firing the coach is a wise choice in any case, i also understand that this type of player can find himself lost without guidance if he were to be fired, now i don't know if it would be an excellent choice.

If Estavao want to leave Chelsea to join PSG I will not be surprise because Chelsea did not value him, he has been under three coaches in the club and none of the coaches have give him enough of the time he des, the boy deserve to play many games, he was one of the most talented young players in the world before he signed for Chelsea and now they want to spoil his career, yesterday match against Liverpool show that the coach did not like him.

Despite the absence of Cole Palmer and Joao pedro, Xabi Alonso did not give the boy a single minute against Liverpool, when Chelsea need the boy in the match he bring a player that end up missing a penalty, going to PSG will be a best option for him, because the club gives young players minute to prove that they are capable of helping the team.

Barcelona are actually the victims here, I don't think they deserved what they are doing even if they are rivals. I can't remembered the last time a player was so desperate to join Real Madrid from Barcelona and vice versa but if a player want to leave and he is so desperate, I don't think the both teams will want to go to this length to disgrace one another. Atletico Madrid over reacted, they are better if they let Alvarez to leave the club than what they are doing.

I'm sure that before next season, his transfer market will be lowered, Barcelona will not be interested in him again and not only that, any team want a player from Atletico Madrid will be afraid to make approach with this behavior.

When it comes to Estevao I don't think for a slightest fact Xabi Alonso knows what he is doing because if he does then this will not be the case, there is a reason the boy became our star boy, giving us the excitement.

He should be improving and not declining or losing game time, sadly some youngsters suffer from similar fate under Alonso at Real Madrid, he should note his tactics here is poor, we are not perfect and he can make better decisions about all of these.

This guy should be getting some minutes if he is fit. I thought Alonso was only benching him because of injuries. I didn’t know he was fit for selection. This young man was arguably one of Chelsea best players last season. Chelsea fans were already calling him wonder kid. He was so good that Chelsea fans were already comparing him with Lamin Yamal. Chelsea should not kill this young talent. If they don’t want to use him, they should loan him out by January window. But I still can’t find any reason why Alonso wouldn’t want to use him, because whatever Pedro Nato can give him, Estêvão can give him double of that.

These pr agents are fund of linking players to another big club, so as to see their value plumpet.

There's nothing valid about this news except for the fact that, the young Brazilian has got reduced or no games time under Xabi Alonso and intends to leave for a club he can get more game time.  PSG are not in talks with the Brazilian. They signed enough players to cover the necessary depths they need.

I don't see that bid from PSG for him, I don't see him playing for them at the moment. It is just the early for this unnecessary speculations.

I don’t know if he’s good enough to be a star at a team like PSG but I’m really surprised he isn’tgetging game time at Chelsea under Alonso.

Every time I have seen him play, which isn’t that much admittedly, he has looked good.

He was highly rated while in Brazil, and the few times he has played for Chelsea, you can always see how dangerous he looks whenever he has the ball. Xabi does not just trust him enough for some reason, and I think since Xabi looks to be a long-term manager for Chelsea, the best thing for a player like him with his talent and age is to move to another club where he will be appreciated and used. PSG has that platform, great team, great manager, and all the makings to be a good destination for him. If he leaves Chelsea, they will regret it. Chelsea lost De Bruyne, and even Mo Salah and we saw how their careers went; it looks like the same will happen for Estavao.

I wish Bertha and Arteta would look to try to bring him in since we love Chelsea castaways so much. I will be delighted at a move for him in Arsenal.

Alonso has received a lot of criticism already for benching Estevao and the fact that he barely get minutes even in EFL cup is surprising. No Palmer available and yet he still doesn't get to play. I think there's really something going on which is why Alonso doesn't want to consider him.

It's understandable that the squad is well built and he will definitely need to be a substitute for now but he deserves some minutes. With his performance he needs to have more time. I was our brightest star last season so I see no reason why he shouldn't get minutes. Young players nowadays needs playing time to improve their game. I believe Estevao has the quality to play in any team in the world that's why we have seen interests from top teams, I just hope Chelsea don't make the mistake of losing him the way they lost Salah back then.

Will the young Brazilian player get more playing time in PSG? The French side is also stocked with some of the best players in the world. The long-term injury of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia might be the main reason why Luis Enrique wants Estevao. The Georgian suffered a season-ending ACL injury, so this might be the opportunity to get a replacement. If he is fortunate to establish himself at PSG,  it might be the right avenue to showcase his potential.

I don't know why Xabi Alonso is not giving this player playing time. He prefers to use Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, and Morgan Rogers ahead of Estêvão.

If Alonso can't do what is right with Estevao and help him be his best, then rather than dimmed his light Estevao should move to a betray team where his growth will be highly considered.

Now is not really a time to misprioritized what is important which is his growth and confidence because he wants to remain with a club where the manager doesn't really consider him.

[LGD2Business]

The number of clubs interested in Aleksey Batrakov is increasing. While he was playing in Russia, European clubs couldn't sign him. But with his move to Galatasaray, that obstacle has been removed. Galatasaray paid 25 million Euro for him. They could sell him at a profit. Minimum fee release clause is 55 million Euro but Galatasaray could sell him for a lower price. I don't think they would refuse an offer of 45-50 million Euro.

Barcelona has also joined the list of clubs interested in him. We already knew that PSG, Chelsea and Manchester United wanted him. I wonder if any team will make a serious move during this winter transfer window. It doesn't look like Galatasaray can hold onto him for long.

I don't know why Xabi Alonso is not giving this player playing time. He prefers to use Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, and Morgan Rogers ahead of Estêvão.

The thing is even with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia out for almost a year I do think that Estevao will most certainly face stiff competition from players, yes the Brazilian is actually a right winger and if you look at PSG they currently don not have senior right winger because both Kvaratskhelia and Doue are left wingers. With Kvicha out I do think that Doue will be having the left wing for himself with players like Mayulu covering for him.

The stiff competition will be against Akliouche who plays from that position and seriously the youngster has been excellent so far but Estevao will definitely gets more minutes than what he is facing currently at Chelsea, if a player can not get a single minute in a cup game then that’s very bad.

This looks like a PR stunt especially if we are talking about Kvaratskhelia's replacement, bro, they are not even playing in the same position, Kvara is a LW whilst Estavao plays right. But if the link is verified, that's good for him because he is just wasting his time in Chelsea because  Xabi won't start him, he is picking Quenda over him, that's a sign that he should park, he is too good to be riding the bench

You're right, PSG has always being without a right winger especially a natural lefter like Estevao so I think moving there will almost be an assured playing time even with Kvaratskelia not injured. The injury makes it even easier though and with Barcola moving to Liverpool it just seems like a more perfect move.

Estevao is a talent you rarely see around and what he brings to the game, the fearless attacks and creativity makes him special and that is why I think he will have more playing time at PSG, he will easily be the first choice and have more minutes and play bigger games.

As a Chelsea fan I wouldn't want to see Estevao leave so soon. He's a great talent and we can't forget what he gave us last season that Palmer was struggling with form so selling him to PSG will be a favor to PSG, their attacks will be more dangerous. Whatever happens we should be keeping him.

This is an opportunity now. Unfortunately, Kvara has been injured, and this is a chance for both PSG and Estevao, who is an incredible player. I simply think he doesn't fit into Chelsea's team. From what i've calculated so far, he has played a total of 47 minutes across 6 matches. I think it's the right time for him to leave, and i believe PSG would be the perfect choice. €80M is a perfectly fair price for him.

I’ve heard that Liverpool might be keeping an eye on him for the next Champions League campaign. I think there’s a good chance this could be true, as the Russian player is only 21 and shows great potential. Many European clubs are already interested in signing him. It’s unlikely that Galatasaray will be able to hold onto him for very long. Furthermore, 15% of the profit from any future sale will go to his former club.
