It's that time of the season to start speculating again, and the biggest rumor is about Liverpool going all in for Bellingham.
Their season has gone wrong and if they wait for the summer, they might be out of the CL spots which would make this transfer a lot harder.

I would not be surprised to see a huge offer in the winter window, and it is said that it could reach 150 million euros.

I'm usually against such huge transfers - but Bellingham does look like a complete midfielder and he's only 20 years old.
Not only Liverpool because reportedly Jude Bellingham is also the target of 2 other big teams such as Real Madrid and Manchester City. In my opinion, if you look at the potential of these 3 teams, it is Liverpool who can give him opportunities in terms of playing minutes, because if we look at Manchester City, they have many players who are ready to compete in the main squad. Real Madrid is the same way, their young players are competing quite fiercely, at Liverpool it's not that there is no competition, but if you look at the current conditions he can be a differentiator that will help Liverpool.
It seems like that jude bellingham already decided liverpool as the next club for him next season. Jude bellingham has been forcing the club to let two players leave from team very soon and that's oxland chamberlein and naby keita. It seems like that liverpool will be selling both in january as liverpool already got jude bellingham. Bellingham's mother and father already told his son to play for liverpool for next season. The chance for liverpool to get him is so big caused by the support from bellingham's family.

Arteta said that they were going to look for other options after Jesus' injury. The only other option they have is Nketiah in the team now actually. He is the only remaining natural striker. Actually even if he plays temporarily in the starting eleven it wouldn't be an enormous problem for the team success. Because they have already played many games without Jesus' great performance and they have been successful as well.

I guess Arteta isn't thinking of signing another striker in January. They can use the money more effectively actually. Besides I don't think they can find a very good striker with the budget they have in their hands.
In fact, apart from Nketiah, there are also a number of players who can be forced, such as Reiss Nelson and Gabriel Martinelli, who can also be projected to be strikers there, but it would be great if there were new players who were pure strikers there.
Gabriel's injury will obviously have a huge impact so indeed the consideration of finding a new striker is a good thing that Arteta is doing at this time.

He is still too young to replace Benzema, so I think this is pure speculation made by Real Madrid. 60 Million Euros is a fantastic contract value for a player at such a young age, and I think that price was even slightly too much for the young player because Endrick Felipe is not yet a world-class player and not many people know about him. However, taking a risk is not doing something thoughtlessly and without reckoning, and I think Real Madrid has thought of all the consequences because sometimes, risk-taking can be a start to getting satisfactory results.
Agree. Endrick is too young, I guess he only will join Real Madrid Castilla. If he can grow as expected, then he may join Real Madrid main team at 18-19 years old. It is true that signing Endrick with that huge money is just speculation. But I believe Real Madrid scouts have a strong reason why they want to pay the transfer fees above 60 Million Euros. Endrick must have a special skill or unusual ability as a striker.

Arteta said that they were going to look for other options after Jesus' injury. The only other option they have is Nketiah in the team now actually. He is the only remaining natural striker. Actually even if he plays temporarily in the starting eleven it wouldn't be an enormous problem for the team success. Because they have already played many games without Jesus' great performance and they have been successful as well.
If Gabriel Jesus doesn't get injured for a long time, Arteta doesn't need to look for a new striker. Even if Nketiah's performance in EPL isn't quite impressive, he is enough to replace Jesus' role temporarily. In the near future, Arsenal won't have a match against a strong team in EPL, I think they can trust Nketiah to be the striker. They will have the match against Tottenham on matchday 20 (January 15), Jesus must recover before this match.

Moukoko to Chelsea? I don't think such deal would happen for Chelsea. Because I wouldn't expect Chelsea to be the only team in this race. Maybe Bayern Munich would be interested in signing him in this case. Because they were already one of the rumoured teams with him. But I don't know if they would like to fill Lewandowski's place with him.
Some clubs already stated if they were interested with moukoko include bayern and barcelona but the team that was seriously wanna try to sign him was chelsea. Let's see what's gonna happen with his transfer whether another club like bayern or barcelona want to hijack his transfer to the chelsea or not. The bad scenario would be barcelona hijacking his transfer but consider barcelona has a very bad financial and condition and i guess he will not be going there.
Moukoko is still a very young player. This would be just an investment into the future for them. But if Chelsea sign him I think they would plan to have him in the starting eleven. It depends on finalizing the Nkunku deal of course. In that case he would be Nkunku's substitute.
that's some clubs were aiming for him. After barcelona failed to get endrick from palmeiras and barcelona change his mind and targeting moukoko as an alternative to the endrick from palmeiras which has agreed to go to the real madrid.

and the rumors continue and once again english clubs are involved again...
the 'daily express' reports that fc chelsea after the disappointment of missing striker Endrick (to rela madrid) has turned his attention to the signing of Youssoufa Moukoko from borussia dortmund. the striker's contract expires at the end of the season and an extension with bvb is not yet in sight
and according to transfermarkt.co.uk, wolves coach Julen Lopetegui is said to have revealed that the club is considering a january move for the brazilian forward Matheus Cunha.


Never heard that chelsea interested in moukoko.

But this is a great news for me as i know how well he is playing since two years ago , he is the hidden gem especially under a right coach ... he might refuses to join chelsea under graham potter unfortunately and again barcelona losing the signing of endrick the brazilian rising star who already in verbal agreement with real madrid , moukoko could be the best alternative.

Southgate might still continue to do his job even if England are eliminated by France in this round of the World Cup. There are some news like he is wanted by The Football Association to stay until EURO 2024 at least. But I wonder what he is thinking about this now. Of course he would like to focused on their France match at the moment. Even if they don't get past France this is still not a bad run for them actually. Because they are facing one of the biggest contenders of the title already in the quarter finals.

But the last time England became the champions in the World Cup was in 1966. The supporters are believing in them to make it this time as they have a great momentum and a squad full of talented footballers. I think Southgate won't leave the team unless they find a better alternative.
Southgate has been doing a great job with the English team so far, It will be deserving if he is retained as the English manager. If they lose to France that shouldn't be a reason to sack him because France are a very good side and if I have to predict it should be a 50:50 chance for both sides to either win in the game so it will be an almost fair result if any side wins.
Currently there are several rumors that say that Barcelona is ready to auction off some of its players because some of them don't want to extend their contracts and some don't satisfy Xavi.
There are the names Alba and Busquets who are not going to renew their contracts with Barcelona and it is reported that Busquets will go to MLS to make new experiences while filling his old days.
On the other hand, there is also the name Depay and Kessie, who are not developing well, who are ready to be released by Barcelona in this transfer.
The mentioned players are already old and due for a move elsewhere, it shouldn't be a thing of debate or contemplation anymore. Busquets, Jodi Alba are aged and can only offer less than the could offer in their prime so I'm not even expecting much from them from my side. I think Xavi needs to make some few signings in their positions, players who will fit in immediately and help the team do better.

Manchester United had better be quick about extending his contract if they want to keep him in the team.

Considering that Ronaldo is out of the team and Manchester United havent got any replacement for him yet then there is a good chance that they will keep him. There was also rumours about letting Martial go on winter if there is any club that is interested with him and of course we all know that rashford is Ten Hag's favourite right now as he starts most of the time

On the other hand, there is also the name Depay and Kessie, who are not developing well, who are ready to be released by Barcelona in this transfer.
I know a man like Xavi knows what he wants,he knows exactly the type of players he wants in his team and there are some expectations he expects of them,therefore anything that makes him not to see those things from any of his player,he has the right to put them on sale.
Alba and Busquet are old names in the Barcelona starting line,and maybe Xavi  has a particular tactics in mind that does not suit the line of play of those two mentioned players.Jordi Alba and bosquets are two experienced players that has helped others players adapt to the new blend well in the team.
As far as I know, the case for Alba and Busquets is because they refused to extend their contract with Barcelona, so inevitably, instead of making these players free agents, it is better for Xavi to make the decision to sell and currently the MLS is the most serious with Busquets.
As for the other players, from the start, Xavi did not meet Xavi's qualifications, it seems especially Depay, who really had a hard time when Lewandowski was around.

I'm usually against such huge transfers - but Bellingham does look like a complete midfielder and he's only 20 years old.
Bellingham is one of the very young Midfielders in this world cup that has impressed, his value will go up more If England somehow find themselves in the finals. Before England's last game I told a friend how good this young boy was, he said it was just a media hype, the regular hype that English Players get, but beyond doubts, he was convinced after seeing the amount of influence he had for England in that game against Senegal. For me the only other young player that would have had his value go up if his country remained in the competition is Musiala. IMO, Gavi is good, but Musiala and Bellingham are better.
Even if they don't, proven yourself to be a big part of English national team at that age shows that this dude will be an epic player for at least another 10 years. True example of a modern midfield and that is something many teams lack dearly. Even City could get him today, and could put him in the starting 11 today, if the best team in premier league could do that, so can all the other teams.

The problem is that he will cost a lot, and I mean A LOT, like 80+ million at least and teams do not have that kind of money all the time, they can do just 1 of those transfers per year if they are top teams, and usually can't even do one if they are not. So maybe Jude will move during summer, and not now.

It looks like PSG have started targeting Marcus Rashford once again. The rumours are saying that he is a target for a possible summer transfer. However PSG can make a contract offer to him very soon as well. Because his contract expires next summer. Manchester United had better be quick about extending his contract if they want to keep him in the team. Rashford is still in England squad in the World Cup now. Right after he comes back the first job to do should be this for Manchester United.

I don't think they have given up on Rashford. Because he is still a very useful player for the team. Yes maybe his latest performance hasn't been impressive but he can fix this anyway. Because he was much better than this in his first matches of the season already. They can't afford losing him without filling his place with a better striker.

^ Jude Bellingham is estimated to cost more than a hundred million. That is for sure. Jude Bellingham is already very expensive because of his recent performance. And I think even one year ago, players were not so expensive. But right now, because of ongoing inflation, players have become very pricey. Honestly, if anyone has decent potential, they are being sold for around a hundred million. Therefore, I don’t think there is any way Billingham is even close to being less than a hundred million. I am not going to be surprised if the number does reach 150 million, to be honest.

But at the same time, we will have to realize that there are very few teams that are eager to pay 150 million for a player. So that instantly takes away a lot of competition. But the clubs who are actually interested in him, almost all of them can afford the money.
At the moment there are several big teams who want the services of this young player and one of them is Madrid and I don't think Madrid will bother too much with this release clause if they really want this player.
Because previously Madrid had previously given Mbappe a high price Clause even though it was rejected.
There is currently some news as well saying that Jude wants to go to La Liga and it is clear that this is a good green light for Madrid but there is no further word on this and it will likely be buzzing after the world cup and winter transfers open.

I doubt about the buzz, as there are only a few interesting transfers in this window, which may not even happen. In fact, Madrid are making a mistake with Mbappe. The player has essentially traded his team and his dream for money, but they are still waiting for him... Why? He plays for the money, everyone owes him according to his opinion, he might not fit in and ruin his career...

Gavi needs to work on his temperament as that will lead him to scandals during training and on the pitch.

Musiala use to be English but he moved to Germany, he is a very exciting player to watch he reminds me of Ineasta.

Jude Bellingham has never been over talked as some people says, he has a natural big talented person for himself, he is more likely to make a move to Liverpool than Real Madrid. Liverpool players are already close to him at the National level.

I personally feel that rather than them looking for a new striker they better focus on defense and for strikers there Xavi would be better off maximizing the performance of Ferran Torres and Ansu fati now.
They are two good youngsters and this has to be maximized rather than being preoccupied with increasing the budget for strikers.
Agree with this because when we talk about Barcelona we know that their current attack line is filled with players who are actually quite feared.
Lewandowski, Dembelle, Raphinha, Ansu and Ferran are clearly players whose individual skills are above average so rather than thinking about strikers anymore, they should focus on the defense now if they have any money to spare.
At the moment they have also lost Pique and it is not impossible that Alba is also preparing to leave now. It needs some regeneration for them in terms of defense even though there are already some but at the moment I think it's still a bit lacking.
For defensive midfielders they also seem to have to be prepared to lose their captain Busquets, who has said from the start that he does not want to renew his contract with Barcelona.
It can be difficult to lose several experienced players simultaneously and close the golden era that has existed because the players have almost all left.
Rather than looking for an attack line they focus on defense I think because it can be difficult when their attack line is very good but their defense has a lot of gaps.

I think there are lot of factors involved and right now the fact that Bellingham is young and is playing at top level is what has made everyone go after him and raised that price tag. Sometimes players status like how much crucial to the squad also raises that price tag. However players near to contract expiry might have significant fall in their price tag. Right now Liverpool is leading the race as I saw a post from a trusted source. Can't recall..possibly cfbayern or romano.

Due to his stunning appearance at the World Cup, Jude Bellingham is being targeted by a number of big clubs now, one of the most frequently linked is The Reds, Jude Bellingham made a good record against Iran, he became the second youngest goalscorer for The Three Lions at the age of 19 years and equaled Michael Owen's record.
The market price for Jude Bellingham currently ranges from 100 to 150 million Euros, although it could be increased or decreased, so far there are several clubs that are monitoring Jude Bellingham, not only Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and Real Madrid also have high hopes of bringing the player. But Real Madrid seems to mind paying the player at that price, because the player is still relatively young and has not shown stable consistency, so the opportunities for Liverpool and Manchester City are quite open.

Moukoko to Chelsea? I don't think such deal would happen for Chelsea. Because I wouldn't expect Chelsea to be the only team in this race. Maybe Bayern Munich would be interested in signing him in this case. Because they were already one of the rumoured teams with him. But I don't know if they would like to fill Lewandowski's place with him.

Moukoko is still a very young player. This would be just an investment into the future for them. But if Chelsea sign him I think they would plan to have him in the starting eleven. It depends on finalizing the Nkunku deal of course. In that case he would be Nkunku's substitute.

They already got Nkunku confirmed in summer transfer window , so really confused why they are going after Moukoko now. Besides after Haaland, he is the next one so to me it seems like Dortmund are gonna keep him for some time.

About Cunha to Wolves, that one is true and a strong rumour. Also Wolves are targetting Felipe as well. Interesting to see if Atletico will let them go. They might allow Cunha but have little doubt over Felipe.
