Transfer: 2025 Winter Transfer Window - Rumors and Discussion

[Jussi]

£90 million should do it, Todd!

 

[les Habs]

I am very wary of signing anyone in my fantasy league who is headed for Chelsea irl. Too many players just sitting around doing very little.

Surprise more by Haaland than City. The charges are up in the air regardless, but Guardiola won’t be there forever.

 

[Jussi]

United are going to be stuck with Rashford...

I mean that was always likely. Rashford isn't walking away from 350k a week and not a singular team in Europe would pay him that. Well outside of yours truly.

I mean technically he's not making that much this season due to the 25% cut for no UCL, but if the loan team is in the UCL, does that change?

Even then at 262k per week he is wildly over paid. So then either he has to take a pay cut in a transfer or United is paying part of his wages. It's just not surprising a deal like that would be hard to figure out in January.

Looks like may be staying after all.

If Davies is extending, I will have a very hard/even harder time believing that Trent to Madrid isn’t done

Madrid probably told Davies, they are spending his money on Trent

Had the same thought. TAA moving from Liverpool, where is the loyalty....?

All about that sweet, sweet cash!

But I mean, if you have an opportunity to play for Madrid or Barca in your career you probably take it. Never know when it will come again.

Ah come on Phonzie!

 

[Savant]

Honestly I’d go to Madrid if I was him too. He has nothing else to prove in at LFC. And he isn’t going to get paid as much. My issue is that he needs to stop waffling. If LFC blow the league it’ll be because of stuff like this going on off the and pitch tricking down

Yeah I mean it’s hard to blame him. It’s LFC’s fault for not letting Schmadke extend him last year especially before Klopp announced he was leaving

Money, weather, and prestige, i totally get it.

I don't follow the inner workings of LFC as much as you, just thought a player like TAA was poised to be a club legend and maybe even a future captain. Boyhood club, breaks in at a young age, plays a major role in multiple trophies. It was right there for him to just stay and be a legend.

Basically the perfect storm happened here. They shouldn’t have left the door open. I am just glad they have Conor Bradley in house

Yea for a transfer either the fee is basically 0 and the opposing team uses that reduction to give him roughly his current wage on a new deal or else the fee is normal/the other team gives him a normal wage (like half what he's making now) but United have to buy out a good chunk of the remainder of his contract.

A Rashford transfer at this point would basically only be the equivalent of getting his wages off the books and I think he's got enough talent that it makes more sense to keep him and hope for a stretch of good form next season or something that gives him some actual value.

- Arsenal going after 18-year-old CM Sverre Nypan, rumoured price to be around 10 million.

- AC Milan reached out to Chelsea for a loan move for Felix.

- PSG cannot complete the Muani deal because they already loaned out a maximum of six players, so they will have to recall or sell one.

- Real Madrid trying to sign Saliba in the summer. LOL, hang up the f***ing phone from Perez the Great.

- 80 million for Marmoush.

- AC Milan looking at Renya from BVB.

- Al-Hilal is ready to offer a lucrative contract to Salah which LFC will not be able to match.

- Juve wants 80 million for Andrea Cambiaso, who is somebody ManCity really want to buy.

- Liverpool going after Kerkez as a Robertson replacement.

- Zaha going to MLS lol.

- There is some belief that even though Sesko signed a new deal, he could be sold to Arsenal in the summer. Sounds like Arsenal will also go back in for Williams in the summer as well.

- I have seen some reports of Gyokeres to Man United in the summer.

- Chelsea are looking at Liam Delap and Evan Ferguson for forward and Yeremay Hernandez for CB.

- Barca going after Marc Pubill, but need to sell Fati first to make the deal happen.

- Oscar Mingueza rumoured to be going to Aston Villa or RB Leipzig.

- Osimhen staying at Galatasaray until summer.

- More rumours of Jorginho leaving this summer, but this time to Brasil (Flamengo and Palmeiras).

Not sure Milan is the move I’d recommend, but Felix should get out of Chelsea ASAP. Never should have signed for them in the first place, but he got his contract and I suppose he likes doing that stupid YouTube channel.

He's just not a good player at all. Somebody who got overhyped and didn't pan out, it happens.

It hasn't worked for Felix anywhere. Does it matter where he goes?

Don’t be ridiculous. Of course he’s a good player. Overhyped? Maybe. He has his flaws, but if he makes the right move, something he’s only done maybe once or twice since leaving Benfica, then he’ll do well.

Is that a serious question? Of course it does. He never should have gone to Atleti, first Chelsea move was OK, Barca move was good and latest Chelsea move was a mistake. Not sure if he and or his agent are just not smart enough to make the right moves or are too motivated by money. My guess is the latter.

He's 26 next season. Was overall still pretty poor for barca despite a good start. He can carve out a niche career with a team like Milan but I dont think anyone should be holding out hope for him fulfilling his potential or becoming the elite player we thought he would be.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

He’s looked 10x better this time at Chelsea than on loan, FWIW.

He wasn’t remotely “pretty poor” for Barca. As for his potential, I don’t know anyone who thought he’d be “elite”. He’s not quite as good as I thought he’d be, but he’s still very obviously a good player. He just needs to play for the right manager at a club where he’ll get consistent minutes.

Agreed from the little I’ve seen. His numbers are actually quite impressive all things considered (per 90 and the fact he’s been heavily rotated and not been given consistent minutes).

To go further on what I said earlier, the first time (the loan) made more sense for the player. This time though I think he made a mistake. Maybe the options weren’t there, but Chelsea have way too many players.
