[DISCUSSION] Football Transfers Speculation and confirmed news.

[ajiz138]

After successfully bringing in Mbappe, I haven't heard which players Real Madrid will target, are they final with their current squad?

Overall maybe they have a very good squad now, but I think they also have to start looking for players who can replace Carvajal. Maybe that will also be their plan, at least to give the position some cover when Carvajal can't play. Yes, even though now they can actually fill in when he doesn't play, I think they still need to strengthen him again.

Currently, Madrid transfer activities seems silent after success signing Kylian Mbappe although leaving by two players Joselu and Nacho, seems defensive become problem for Madrid right now after leaving by Nacho has few option left with defender position.
Some important back up is Carvajal position and Madrid must sign one defender and right defender for next season, indeed the holding midfielder is crucial position needed for signing new players after Toni Kroos retired and leaves Madrid next season.

It looks like they will wait first, at least until the end of EURO, because the players who play there are busy now. And maybe they don't want to rush in bringing in players, they are more relaxed.

I think there will be rumors about them in the next few days, because they could be moving quietly in targeting the players they want to bring in to fill positions they think need additional players.

[Rruchi man]

Yes, there haven't been any other transfers yet.
As for rumors, it seems like the latest rumor is that Real Madrid are interested in Bologna's defender, Riccardo Calafiori. The price tag is around no less than €40 million. Riccardo Calafiori is a Centre-Back from Italy who is only 22 years old. However, it is not only Real Madrid who are interested in this Centre-Back. Others are: Liverpool, Juventus, and even Man City too.

Chelsea have Tosin from Fulham and Estevao Willian from Palmeiras, who is just 17 years old.

Chelsea is starting to hunt for players again but there are still rumors. One of them that is still widely rumored is Jonathan David, but he is still competing with several other clubs such as Tottenham and West Ham. Meanwhile, an increasing number of players from Chelsea have also completed deals and are leaving this club. Some of them are:

In this transfer window so far, Chelsea have been the most active team, and their transfer news have been everywhere. I always read about them, and they're interested now in signing Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, a deal that will cost them more than 100 million pounds.

Manchester United are still interested in getting another striker to join to Hojlund, Calvert-Lewin is also under consideration if they cannot get Joshua Zirkzee from Belogna

In this transfer window so far, Chelsea have been the most active team, and their transfer news have been everywhere. I always read about them, and they're interested now in signing Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, a deal that will cost them more than 100 million pounds.

Chelsea is always very active in every transfer windows. Chelsea management isn't patient, they want an instant improvement from the new players. That's why they are always active to buy or sell players in each transfer windows. TBH, I think this is not a good way, if a team becomes too often changing their players, they will never have a solid squad.

Isak is a good striker, but Chelsea already has Jackson. I think Chelsea doesn't use 2 strikers in the lineup. If they sign Isak, Jakson may sit on the bench. This is not good for Jackson because he will be difficult to develop his ability. Jackson needs to play regularly as a main striker in the main lineup.

Manchester United are still interested in getting another striker to join to Hojlund, Calvert-Lewin is also under consideration if they cannot get Joshua Zirkzee from Belogna

Is Calvert-Lewin better than Hojlund?
I think Man United will waste money again. Why don't they prioritize the defense line first? They needs some strong defenders.

Is Calvert-Lewin better than Hojlund?
I think Man United will waste money again. Why don't they prioritize the defense line first? They needs some strong defenders.

Statistically, Calvert-Lewin is no better than Hojlund, he only scored eight goals and four assists in 38 matches in all competitions last season.
But Calvert-Lewin has a different playing style from Rasmus Hojlund, He is fast, has good skills, is strong in the air, and works extremely hard for the team, he is considered to be able to complement Hojlund
Another reason why MU is interested in recruiting Calvert-Lewin is because the transfer fee is affordable.

[Rruchi man]

Is Calvert-Lewin better than Hojlund?

Calvert-Lewin may not be better option but he would at least offer Manchester United coach something different in their attack. I watched him play in Everton this season and he was an attacking threat whenever he held the ball.

Why don't they prioritize the defense line first? They needs some strong defenders.

Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern is someone of interest for Manchester United because Manchester United coach has worked with him before and will be sure of his defensive capabilities.

The news is that Liverpool are interested in Newcastle players - Anthony Gordon but this has not reached an agreement on how much Newcastle wants while fabrizio's news does not mention the price tag.
On the other hand, Newcastle do not want to release Gordon and prefer other players, but if Liverpool's offer is higher than Newcastle's expectations, maybe this agreement will happen in the near future.

Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern is someone of interest for Manchester United because Manchester United coach has worked with him before and will be sure of his defensive capabilities.

Ten Hag wants to sign Matthijs de Ligt?
It is a good idea, Matthijs de Ligt is a young and strong defender. The career of Matthijs de Ligt is still a long time, he seems a typical defender who will be suitable for Man United. Unfortunately, I doubt if Bayern Munich wants to sell him. As far as I know Matthijs de Ligt  is projected by Bayern Munich for a long term player.

The news is that Liverpool are interested in Newcastle players - Anthony Gordon but this has not reached an agreement on how much Newcastle wants while fabrizio's news does not mention the price tag.
On the other hand, Newcastle do not want to release Gordon and prefer other players, but if Liverpool's offer is higher than Newcastle's expectations, maybe this agreement will happen in the near future.

If Newcastle doesn't want to sell Anthony Gordon and Liverpool still can't get personal agreement with him, Anthony Gordon won't move anywhere. Anthony Gordon should stay in Newcastle because he is one of the mainstay player for Newcastle team. They have a lot of money, they are not selling Anthony Gordon for earning money.

Statistically, Calvert-Lewin is no better than Hojlund, he only scored eight goals and four assists in 38 matches in all competitions last season.

You are right. Scoring 8 goals (7 EPL, 1 EFL) isn't a very impressive achievement. I think it is just a stats of average player, there is nothing special with him. If he is a special player, he must score more goals. Top striker can score more than 20 goals in the whole season.

But Calvert-Lewin has a different playing style from Rasmus Hojlund, He is fast, has good skills, is strong in the air, and works extremely hard for the team, he is considered to be able to complement Hojlund
Another reason why MU is interested in recruiting Calvert-Lewin is because the transfer fee is affordable.

Even if he has a different play style, it is nothing if he couldn't make a better stats. It means he only contributed a little for the team. I think Man United only wastes money if they force themselves to sign Calvert-Lewin. Why don't trust Hojlund? He has a better stats, he is still a better striker.

The transfer market this time is quite quiet, one of the transfers that is causing hot discussion is the transfer of Real Madrid which officially recruited Mbappe. There is Toni Kroos who has decided to retire, so far that is the only interesting topic of conversation.

What I see is that changing coaches is becoming a trend during this competition holiday. There are many coaches who have to be fired and other coaches sign contracts with their new teams.

Ricardo Calafiori, the Italian defender, becomes the latest signing for Arsenal from Belogna, to strengthen Arteta's defenses. Arsenal have previously gotten a player from Belogna who has done very well, so I am sure that facilitated this deal between the two clubs.

Other clubs were interested in him too, but the player has more interest in our Arsenal project.

Yeah, I know. I'm just trying to understand why United are interested in recruiting Calvert-Lewin,
Overall I agree with you, Calvert-Lewin is not the player United needs and this is not a smart move from United.
We all want Ten Hag to pick players based on their performance not because they are his favorites and sign players who can put United in contention for the Premier League title.

Arsenal is focusing on recruiting young players, one of which is Riccardo Calafiori who is their new player. Indeed, in the last few seasons Arsenal has carried out regeneration by bringing in many young players into their squad.

I think Arteta will get a very long time with Arsenal, so he is preparing for the future of this player. And slowly they were also able to show a good game and last season they were one step away from becoming champions, unfortunately they were unable to compete with Manchester City.

Okay. It is just confusing that Man United is trying to sign a player who is not really needed for them. Man United even has a better player in that position, I think Man United scout is doing something too speculative. Not sure why the scout and Ten Hag want to sign Calvert-Lewin who has no something special about his stats last year. If Man United really wants to improve their attacking, they should target a top attacker like Osimhen.
