Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Never, no way! Wink

This is not an option for Real Madrid to leave it as it is with Mbappe. I remember how often it was Mbappe who scored goals against Real Madrid. In all of the last three matches the encounters were very close and each time it was Mbappe who contributed a goal. And it wasn't just about the goals scored, but about how dangerous he was during the whole games. It would be reckless by Real Madrid to not sign him when they get the chance to do so.

I see in the news that Real Madrid have already agreed on Mbappe's transfer to Real Madrid, but I can't understand whether these are just rumors, or have they already decided everything? Mbappe will receive 35 million euros a year and will be Real Madrid's highest paid player. And it seems that the transition will only be possible in the summer, when his contract with PSG ends. Real Madrid just want this player on their team, I doubt they are too worried about him scoring against them again.

Reports like this will continue to exist it seems in every transfer but if the rumors are unfounded or don't come from some clear sources like Fabrizio or some reliable sources I'm actually quite doubtful about the news. I don't mean to discriminate against this, it's just that when some rumors from unclear sources are always used as traffic for readers, which makes the rumors more widespread and becomes misinformation.
I think in this case apart from waiting there is nothing that can be done because there is a lot of news to increase traffic which makes the news become confusing so instead of assuming more, it would be better to wait for certainty in January.

Fabrizio Romano is really no clairvoyant... The thing is if someone makes one hundred predictions per year, the chance to get some of it right is quite good. I know that at times he has some info that some here would consider insider info, but he has been wrong often enough. I am not aware of his predictions with respect to Mbappe, but I would deem any source claiming that contracts have essentially been signed are most likely wrong.

Of course, he may have had guesses that turned out to be wrong, but I think Fabrizio must be an important source when it comes to sensations. He hears about the situation before the transfer, the transfer does not happen at the last minute for some reason, but when you talk to the player, he says that there was a problem at the last minute. So Fabrizio is instantly wrong. I take what he says seriously.
