The summer transfer window remains open, the really big transfers have yet to be completed, we bring you the latest odds on the big money moves that everyone is talking about. Sky Bet have compiled the very latest transfer odds for some of the hottest properties in the game; in addition we give you our expert analysis on the likely outcomes.
Wesley Sneijder: Sir Alex Ferguson wanted to sign the brilliant midfield star before he signed for Real Madrid. Fergie missed a second opportunity to sign Sneijder three years ago, when the United manager allowed Jose Mourinho to sign him for Inter Milan, the rest is history. With Paul Scholes retiring, surely United cannot miss out for the third time? However, the much talked about move to Manchester United has stalled due to Sneijder’s reported wage demands plus the £35m asking price. United’s money men will also be factoring in the players age and at, 27, it’s unlikely there will be a big sell-on fee for United. The bad, but entirely predictable news for United is that neighbours Man City are now serious contenders to capture the Dutchman.
Latest Sky Bet transfer odds on Sneijder:
Manchester United are favourites at 1/2; Manchester City 5/2; Chelsea 14/1; Real Madrid 33/1; Barcelona 33/1; Arsenal 40/1 and Tottenham 40/1.
Our verdict: United’s vast legions of support around the world are hoping the club can broker an agreement with Inter Milan and the player, but there will no doubt be concerns that rivals Manchester City or Chelsea could make the deal happen with their financial muscle and if that happens it would be a total disaster for Ferguson.
Carlos Tevez: Tevez has played his last game for Manchester City – of that we can be fairly certain following the player’s public declaration that he is leaving.
Inter Milan 2/5; Real Madrid 7/4; Malaga 16/1; Chelsea 16/1;Corinthians 18/1; Boca Juniors 20/1; Juventus 20/1; River Plate 25/1; Barcelona 33/1; PSG 33/1; Santos 33/1; Man Utd 33/1; AC Milan 33/1.
Our verdict: It look like Tevez has played his last game for Manchester City, a move to Corithinians looked likely but that dell fell through and now Inter Milan are the bookmakers strong favourites.
Sesc Fabregas: Sky Bet make Barcelona 1/5 favourites to re-sign the player that they nurtured as a junior. However, the Gunners captain is hot property and so it comes as no great surprise to see the names of several European giants being linked to the young Spanish midfield star.
Our verdict: Until recently, Wenger was seemingly determined to hold on to the brilliant Spaniard, but it looks like the Arsenal captain will rejoin Barcelona this summer.
Nani: Nani was voted the players’ player of the year at Manchester United, it marks quite a turnaround in the Portuguese winger’s fortunes at Old Trafford. However, United are being strongly linked with players from home and abroad and it would come as no great surprise if Nani was used as a pawn in a swap deal this summer.Latest Sky Bet transfer odds on Nani:
Inter Milan 5/1; Barcelona 10/1; Arsenal 12/1; AC Milan 16/1;
Our Verdict: We think Nani could leave United this summer and his likely destination could turn out to be the San Siro. Nani could be used as bait in a deal that will see Sneijder moving in the opposite direction.
Didier Drogba: He is still the most feared striker in the Premier League on his day and with Chelsea parting company with former manager Carlo Ancelotti, you wonder how this will affect the mindset of Drogba who found himself sat on the bench on many occasions under the Italian.
Latest Sky Bet transfer odds Drogba:
Tottenham 8/13; Galatasaray 7/2; Man. City 6/1; Marseille 8/1; ; AC Milan 10/1, Real Madrid 14/1; Liverpool 20/1; Inter Milan 20/1; Any MLS club 25/1 and Monaco 33/1.
Our verdict: Tottenham are the bookies red-hot favourites to capture the Chelsea star. However, Drogba may believe that he has one really big move left in him and the lure of joining his former boss Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid could be very tempting if an offer is accepted; added to which 14/1 represents excellent value.
Scott Parker The West Ham star looks likely to move to another London club following the Hammers relegation to the Championship last season. Much could depend on the future of Luka Modric at Spurs – if Chelsea sign the Croatian, then the door could well be open for Parker to move Tottenham.
Our verdict: Chelsa are the bookies red-hot favourites to capture the West Ham playmaker. However, Harry Redknapp knows the player and so we think Spurs could win this particular transfer battle and at 5/1 this looks like a good bet.
Latest Sky Bet transfer odds Scott Parker:
Chelsea 10/11; Aston Villa 6/4; Tottenham 5/1; Arsenal 12/1; Liverpool 33/1; Everton 33/1; Man Utd 33/1; Man City 33/1.
