Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Dewi Aries]

Raphinha refuses to play for Chelsea. His agent has refused to meet with Chelsea since Leeds accepted Chelsea's offer a few days ago, stating that he wants to honor the agreement his agent made with Barcelona 4 months ago, stating that he only wants to play for Barcelona to fulfill his childhood dream, but Barcelona can only offer €55m, which is far less than what Leeds United demand. So the deal is complicated; Barcelona is still attempting to secure funds to complete the transfer, while Chelsea is unwilling to back out.

I think Chelsea should back out of the chase for Raphael Dias Belloli aka Raphinha because the player might not give his best if the club finally gets his signature by force. His heart is with Barcelona, hence Barca should source for all the funds they need to get the service of the 25 years old Brazilian striker. But according to some reports now, Barcelona has accepted to pay the sixty million pounds transfer offer to Leeds United in three installment, hence the attacker might be a Barcelona player in few days.

But in fact, Chelsea have agreed a price for Raphinha next they will talk about salary and Barcelona might have a lower chance of getting him
Raphinha might prefer to move to Barcelona but he is used to playing in the Premier League this is another advantage for Chelsea
Somehow Leed could ignore the 60 million offer

Chelsea are closing in on a deal for Raheem Sterling now.
...
 It must be feeling bad for Barcelona to see the players who they have been interested in being sold to other teams.

Chelsea has good progress on getting new players to their squad. At least, they are heading to get Raphina (right-winger and also able for a left-winger) and Sterling (for the left-winger or also for right-winger or second striker).
Exactly, Barcelona still faces the difficulty of financial problems. That is why the club still cannot bring their most expected player to join in the squad.

but I see Leicester city doesn't seem to have managed to bring in a single player in this transfer market even though Leicester are a team that often makes big surprises against big teams. I think they should look for new players to strengthen their squad for next season.

That's right Leicester City haven't signed or sold any players so far, but I read articles about rumours Inter Milan are interested in signing a Leicester player they maybe in discussions about this player Soyuncu. Leicester City didn't hunt for players like big clubs do, it wasn't interesting and also fans were disappointed.

Right after winning the Premier league they just kept selling their best players and got no good replacements for them, it seems that they are in a degrading pace season after season, I wouldn't be surprised if they get regulated in the upcoming 2 or 3 seasons.

Exactly, Barcelona still faces the difficulty of financial problems. That is why the club still cannot bring their most expected player to join in the squad.

The financial management of the Barcelona club must give a breakthrough by making some events that can provide them with money or they have to sell some of their players at least to improve their financial condition, because when the big Barcelona team does not have the addition of new players they will find it difficult when competing against several enemies who have a new team that is terrible because on average they are still easy and have high spirits.

[nurilham]

According to the recent news, Raphinha will play for Barcelona in the next season. There is only speculation about the price but Barcelona has right now less charge after a couple of players left the club or will do soon.

Barcelona needs a right-winger now, Raphinha is a good option if Barcelona has enough money to sign him. I only doubt the amount of money expected to get a deal for Raphinha transfer fees, not sure if Barcelona wants to spend more than €55m. They still dream to sign Lewandowski, it will spend a lot of money. They must choose to focus on Lewandowski or Raphinha.

Chelsea can try to contact Dembele which is a free agent for the moment and he is unable to get a good deal from Barcelona without cutting 40% or more from his salary.

Yes, it is a good idea to contact Dembélé. He is also a talented right-winger and his market price is lower than Raphinha. I don't know why Barcelona doesn't want to keep him and try to cut 40% of his salary. It doesn't make sense to cut 40% of a player's salary.

Chelsea are very good at attracting players with tempting offers and Barcelona don't have to do it when they're in a financial crisis they hunt a lot of players without good finance
If chelsea manages to get these two players then we can see Chelsea ready to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool in this season, on the other hand we are still waiting for the latest news from Man united who are still hunting for some players.

If Bayern Munich really wants to sign him, I think CR7 prefers to move to Bayern than move to Napoli. He ever played as a Juventus player in Serie A, he must think to play in the League that he never plays there. So, I doubt he wants to move to Napoli. Bundesliga is the best option, I guess.

Maybe he'll go to bayern munich and maybe he'll go to psg. Both clubs this have sound finances and I think they will be able to buy Ronaldo if they are really interested in him. but i remember ronaldo words before retiring he wants to play together with messi in one team, is this the right time for him considering psg has announced they want to release neymar automatically neymar position will be very suitable for ronaldo. we will see some hot news about ronaldo in the coming days.

Neymar automatically extended his contract with Paris Saint-Germain until 2027, according to L'Equipe, so I think it will be quite problematic to see Messi, Ronaldo and Mbappe together as part of the same club. Moreover, the club's management seems to have promised Mbappe a great influence in the team when extending the contract, which will be a big question if such an influential player as Ronaldo appears in the club. Although personally I would like to see such an attacking group at PSG, but these are all dreams, dreams. The option with Bayern is more viable than the option with Napoli, but is the club ready to pay the kind of money that Ronaldo would like to receive, or is Ronaldo himself willing to moderate his financial appetites for the sake of participating in the Champions League? There are huge doubts about this, especially since now there is information that Manchester United does not intend to let Ronaldo go.

Cristiano Ronaldo have ask to Manchester United management for selling him if get good offer from other club, but Ronaldo have specific rule just want to play with team participants on Champion League. Ronaldo not happy with his situation on Manchester United because he can't play on Champion League, but most candidate team waiting for Cristiano Ronaldo so far have Chelsea and Napoli beside AS Roma interested with him but not participants on Champion League. Bad memorize Ronaldo with Manchester United because he pass one season only and not any trophy giving for United last season.

[Oluwa-btc]

Sad! But what can I do ? Huh ?
Truthfully, Man never saw this coming. I didn't expect such at this time. Having played the the Champions League ever since he left Sporting Lisbon for Manchester United. Jorge Mendes tryna look out for a better deal for him. But hope he doesn't ends at Chelsea football club, as it's gonna be disheartening and embarrassing to see such with my eyes 

Bayern Munich should be a better side for the links,since Lewandoski wants the exit, I think they can hold on to Ronaldo for a season or two at all. He does deserves playing Champions League for the 20th time.

Frank Lampard have made his first signing for Everton as they sign James Tarkowski on a free transfer this summer. Tarkowski who is a centre back have block more shots in the Premier league than any other player in the 2021/2022 campaign. James Tarkowski contract with his new team will be valid until June 2026. Let's hope for a good season for the centre back. Everton ended last season at the 16th place, and nearly got into the relegation zone. Although, with their new player, I think the team's performance next season will be more impressive.

Just by buying 1 player and you hope Everton can appear more impressive for the coming season? What a joke? I don't think Tarkowski is a good defender, that's probably why he didn't get a contract extension at Burnley. Personally, quite disappointed to see Lampard only bring in players who are not good enough to Everton after successfully selling Richarlison to Spurs.

I am waiting for Frank Lambert to make a big transfer. A transfer that is going to lift the spirit of the Everton team. But let’s be honest here. One good prayer is not going to help a lot to Everton team. I think it is going to be a really good idea if a good amount of money from this is spent to bring in younger players. That would be a really good investment for the club going forward. But, I think everyone is expecting a big transfer for Everton and bringing in a player who is performing well in recent times, that is worth what people are expecting.

Aaron Hickey have decided to sign a permanent deal with the English side, Brentford. The Scottish full back will be in England for medical tests in the coming weeks and Bologna will receive £14m plus add-ons. The 20years old have already signed a 5year deal with the Brentford  and verbal agreement have been reached. It's now left for Brentford to complete paperworks and after Medical, they will officially announced Aaron Hickey as their new player. However, the way things are going currently in the Premier League, the signing of young players is Massively populated all over the news.

But according to some reports now, Barcelona has accepted to pay the sixty million pounds transfer offer to Leeds United in three installment, hence the attacker might be a Barcelona player in few days.

Barcelona offered less, but these are just rumors. Nothing concrete has been announced yet; because he is under contract, the club has the upper hand in his decisions, unless he chooses to assist with some of the fees, as Fabregas did when Barcelona came calling some years ago; he contributed to his own transfer fees to get the deal done. Raphinha is unlikely to make such a decision.

Chelsea can try to contact Dembele which is a free agent for the moment and he is unable to get a good deal from Barcelona without cutting 40% or more from his salary.

Dembele is about to sign a two-year extension with Barcelona; he wants to stay.

Chelsea are closing in on a deal for Raheem Sterling now. It is going to be for 45 million pounds as it seems. We have been hearing about Chelsea's interest for a long time and they might be really finishing this now. It would be nice to see Chelsea starting with this kind of good transfers after their transfer ban is gone. Sterling can increase the productivity of the team very much. It must be feeling bad for Barcelona to see the players who they have been interested in being sold to other teams.

Chelsea have been involved with Sterling for a long time and will do their best to include him in the team. But we'll see if it's worth paying such a high price.
Maybe there are better options, but the efficiency can be high in transfers made within the Premier League, the player will not have a period of getting used to the league

Sterling is still at a good age so the price I think is still worth it, it would be very good for Sterling to play at Chelsea because their coach has proven to be a great coach just like Pep. Also, I personally don't know if there are rumors about Barcelona's interest in Sterling because of the prevailing and very strong rumors that I got, Sterling has always been linked with Chelsea and not Barcelona. There is actually another player who is being linked with Chelsea at the moment and that is Neymar, if these rumors are also true then Chelsea will definitely get better and it won't be easy for Manchester City and Liverpool in the title race.

45 million pounds seems quite a good investment. Chelsea seem to be on a signing spree and to be honest, I expect signing Raheem Sterling to be a bit difficult because he still enjoys playing at the Etihad.
 I hope with his incoming, the way at which Chelsea plays will be changed.

I saw this coming because Ronaldo is one player that wants to be relevant till the end of his career and not playing in the Champions League will be an embarrassment to him if you ask me. Everyone thought he was going to end his career at Manchester United but the superstar has got some more energy and he needs to make a very good use of it.

Bayern Munich will be a better side for him but his chances of moving there are slim because Lewandoski has not left the club yet and if that doesn't happen we may likely see Ronaldo at Chelsea and when that happens Ronaldo will end his career at sporting not Manchester United again. I hope he gets a better offer because I wanna see him play in the champions league.

As far as I know, Thomas Tuchel and Sterling have had meetings before and these talks are progressing positively. I remember something about Tuchel saying that Sterling wanted to join the team. I think this transfer will take place if the clubs also come to an agreement.
Ousmane Dembele is rumored to come to Chelsea

[Coyster]

Chelsea have been involved with Sterling for a long time and will do their best to include him in the team. But we'll see if it's worth paying such a high price.

I do not consider what it's rumored chelsea are willing to pay for Sterling as a high price (around £50m), Sterling has been magnificent for City since joining the club, he is also a complete professional who doesn't complain or bring disunity in the dressing room when he isn't playing regularly. If you look at the amount of money that clubs have been spending on players lately, then you definitely can't call this a high fee, Spurs signed Richarlison who is not an established footballer for around £60m, and Arsenal signed Gabriel Jesus for £45m, it is what it is, and Raheem Sterling is just 27 years old, he still has quite a lot of years ahead of him, so if Chelsea get him now for that price, it is a worthy bargain.

Having said that, the problem here is for City, and that's not because they are letting Sterling go, but they are selling him to their direct rival Chelsea, i just hope this does not affect them in the grand scheme of things come the end of next season.

Completely aware about the negotiations and meeting between player and coach.
According to news that club will submit a bid after first was refused by  City.
Dembele ? Rumors that all they are. Xavi wants him around the squad.

But if you look at the statements from Bayern's current officials it looks like it will be difficult and now the closest clubs associated with Ronaldo are PSG and Chelsea now, although I'm not too sure he will choose Chelsea.
But it will be difficult to see him going to PSG because I can't imagine the club having Ronaldo there.
