⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yep that's not going to happen at all and Mbappe's desire is to go to Real Madrid for a fantastic salary so there's a strong chance he'll definitely go there if PSG keep him.
.....

Yeah, there will be always rumoured that will make this situation hotter and hotter and this will be continuing until the day exactly happens.
Let's see what will Mbappe choose for the next season.

What's these rumours am hearing about mbappe bitterness in mind about the g.o.a.t joining them in thier team?
I don't really know how true it is though but that's it.!

Since the incident, there are always rumours about Mbappe who are rumoured to want to move the club. And some large clubs are rumoured to be Mbappe's goal. The most often is Real Madrid.
But lately, there are rumours that Barcelona also wants Mbappe. But we know how the problems faced by Barcelona are currently related to Financial.
So, we just wait for the continuation.

Mbappe future seems to continue to be a matter of speculation and until now no one knows for sure where Mbappe will go next, although Real Madrid continue to be linked with Mbappe, I think anything can happen in the transfer market later, if Mbappe is free transfer later, I think Not only Madrid, but Barcelona will also have a great opportunity to be able to get it regardless of Barcelona current financial problems.

Certainly the best option to leave Mbappé is Real Madrid, there is no doubt about it, whatever Mbappé's problem is, I do not think he will go to Barcelona, and not because it is a team that has a lot of crisis, but because every player who you want to go to Real Madrid you don't like Barcelona or paint.

Taking into account that everything is speculation, a long time ago Real Madrid gave a statement to the player that they do not expect, that is like an ultimatum, for this reason I believe and I think that Mbappé is not going to leave PSG, because I am sure that They will retain him with a better contract that is much more millionaire, because having the PSG team is currently a privilege.

I think the board had decided to give Ole more games time to prove himself, if not I am very sure he must has been sacked after being trashed by Liverpool, Man Utd may get back to their winning ways once again and the rumour will automatically die down just like when Mikel Arteta was at the receiving end when Arsenal was on a losing streak, there was speculations that he will be replaced with Sam Allydyce then, however things turned around and Arsenal got back to their winning ways I believe it will also happen with Ole.

So you mean, slowly the pressure to sack Ole from Manchester United fans will disappear if they can bring victory in the next game?
In my opinion, the conditions of Arteta and Ole are two very different things, even though they don't have much experience in coaching, but Arteta is good at managing Arsenal's game strategy which combines young and senior players, while Ole is coaching a team that has a much better squad but he not able to maximize the game manchester and Ole is a coach who lacks strategy in my opinion, and it shows when they are in a position behind the score from other clubs and it looks like Ole is not trying to try to change their strategy in the game.

@poldanmig Ole was saved because Sir Alex intervened and saved him from the sack, but if he loses any of the three upcoming fixtures then the board will have to sack him. Also Arteta trained under the best and he doesn’t have a rich squad like Manchester United, so they can’t be compared, and it’s only a matter of time before Ole gets the sack.

[CryptocurencyKing]

There are reports that Mauricio Pochettino is the favoured candidate to replace the Manchester United manage Ole Gunnar. I want to ask, How is Pochettino different from Ole? Both have never won anything substantial. If these are the kind of Managers Manchester United are after then they should just stick with Ole, because Pochetinho is another Moyes that Ferguson gave Manchester United. Ferguson is misleading Manchester United with this kind of appointments; they need a direct and serial winner and Pochettino doesn't guarantee any trophy. I am beginning to think these guys are looking for a manager they can control because these are just some stupid ideas the board are considering.

Why even bother sacking your manager if the team is winning right? But Ole got some issues in my opinion. Because if you have a team like Manchester United where the squad is almost filled with big names and superstars and you cannot make them win I think you have some issues with your strategy. And I think Ole He's not that proactive coach, he is more often a reactive coach and that doesn't seem to fit with the playstyle of Manchester United. Let's see what happens in the future and hopefully, everything will be sorted.

I also think so, Arteta actually has a tougher job than Ole at Manchester who does have players who are on average quite capable at the moment, but of course without the support of a quality coach, of course, no matter how good a squad will be, they will not be able to provide their performance effectivel maximum in a game, that's what's happening in Manchester right now. Fergusson did have a big influence on the voting in the current manchester board, and that's why the management kept Ole for the next three games, as far as I know after mourinho was sacked from manchester, Fergusson suggested to sign Ole as a replacement for Mourinho and this shows that fergusson's vote is very heard by the Manchester United board regarding the selection of a new coach.

According to Goal, the management of  Barcelona is showing interest in Monaco defender Enrique Caio. According to the source, the Spanish top club is going to buy the 24-year-old Brazilian in January.

Transfermarkt estimates the footballer at 17 million euros, and his current contract is valid until 2025.

As part of the current campaign, Caio took part in 17 confrontations and made 7 assists.

https://www.readfootball.com/barselona-hochet-podpisat-talantlivogo-brazilca-244561.html

I don't think buying players at the moment is a good enough thing for Barcelona at the moment.
on the other hand they have one defender who is quite good in performance, especially last season and this season, this can be used to patch up the barcelona defense which is still fragile.
but on the other hand this will continue to affect the club's finances and now their club is in a phase of collapse with huge debts and salary arrears
adding players will only worsen the team's finances

^  What he needs to do is leave.  The squad is getting out foxed because the manager isn’t really up to par with the elite managers.  Even Moyes at West Ham could win vs United.  But I hope Solksjaer’s still around when United meets Ranieri’s Watford.  

It’s looking like Conte is taking over.  His line to be the next United manager is at 1.73 in some fiat bookies.

If Conte will go to Manchester he will not last till the end of the season with Ronaldo.

Conte wants players running for 100% of the time and usually uses a 3-5-2.

I see a situation like "or Ronaldo or Conte".

I think is more probable for Zidane to United over Conte.

ajax has extended the contract with the mexican defensive midfielder Edson Álvarez until 2025 and binds this player for the long term

Álvarez joined Ajax from Club América for €15 million in June 2019 but struggled for the first year and a half. Since the start of the calendar year, the right-footed defensive midfielder has been an important part of Erik ten Hag's team and has started 12 out of 14 games this season. The market value has increased from his personal low of €8 million to a career top market value of €17 million—he is now among the most valuable Mexicans.

Yes, now the future of Solskjaer is still a question mark for everyone, the inconsistent game of Manchester United this season, making many people speculate if Solskjaer position this season at Manchester United is just a matter of time, and there are even rumors that Solskjaer future will be in evaluation by the management of manchester united after the match between manchester united and liverpool tomorrow, in addition to conte, zidane is also rumored to be a strong candidate to train manchester united and Ronaldo also recommends Zidane to the management of Manchester United.

If Solskjaer were to be replaced, I'd go with Erik ten Hag. I do not think Antonio Conte is the right candidate for Manchester United.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/oct/26/solskjaer-backed-by-ferguson-and-some-manchester-united-directors-joel-glazer

According to the news of The Guardian, Manchester United have decided to give one last chance to Ole Solskjaer. So we will see him in the game against Tottenham in the Premier League too. If he manages to get a good result in this game, he can continue for a longer time. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure that he won't get another chance and will get sacked immediately. Conte is still the biggest candidate for the position.

[Coyster]

There are reports that Mauricio Pochettino is the favoured candidate to replace the Manchester United manage Ole Gunnar.

I don't think this reports are true, currently Pochettino seems comfortable at PSG with quite a lot of world class stars at his disposal and Manchester United will know that, thus there is no way they can make him their number one individual to replace Solskjaer. There are just too many speculations on who is going to replace Solskjaer if he gets fired, but we'll have to wait and see, for now, OGS is still in charge, but he wouldn't be for too long if his team do not start winning.

Like Barcelona before which has problems with financial fair play for leave Messi, I think Real Madrid will have a problem with this, as I know Halland has a salary of 15 M Pounds. which should leave many players for him.

They may have the same problem with Barcelona. But I am sure Real Madrid management has planned something to avoid it. One of the ways that they may sell many players that have big salaries but have no good performance. Some of them I have said above such as Bale, Hazard, Jovic, Mariano, Modric, or other players. Bale, Hazard, and Modric deserve to be put on the transfer list because they are no longer young. While some players like Jovic and Mariano cannot show us good performance.

[Lordhermes]

Van de Beek also requested that they let him leave in the winter, if they do not agree new terms with Pogba and sell Van de Beek they will have a big hole in midfield to fill in the summer.

The contract situation of Van de Beek and Pogba is dependent on the coach and management; Pogba is willing to extend his stay at the club but wants to see the club's ambitions; however, if Ole is not sacked and the team continues to struggle, Pogba will most likely leave for a better team with ambitions. VDB will depart on loan/ permanently next summer to save his career, as Ole clearly does not rate him enough.

For Van-de-beek to be at United without having regular playing time is really frustrating,because I know how good the player is,The first time he was signed in,he was their saviour in most of the matches they played,but all of a sudden,they just dropped him and started using someone else.
The player is really not happy at all,and If I were him,I will look for a team that will give me regular playing time,and and leave Manchester United.

Yep, I agree. He could play a 3-5-1-1 variant with Ronaldo tucked in a bit on the left, Ronaldo would like it. The thing is that Conte will not give him a free pass in defence.

United board knows they can't work with Conte, he expects to be given free reign when it comes to handling players. He'd probably want to keep both Pogba and Ronaldo though - but I feel both would be allowed to leave in the summer.

Conte also needs to be a bit practical here, United is a big club. This might be his only opportunity to get the job, I'm sure he'll agree to some sort of influence coming from the board.

That's the problem with Ole, he did the same thing with Ighalo, Daniel James, Martial, Cavani, and now VBD is getting the same treatment. Ole does not improve a player, he only uses them as long as they are useful, then he puts them on the bench and never brings them back. vBD must return to Ajax to rebuild his career; not all ambitions are meant to be realized, as is the case with Hazard at Madrid, who pursued the wrong dream.

In the last few days, Pochettino has been speculated to be one of the next coaches at Manchester United, but as @Coyster said, I'm also not sure if Pochettino will accept the offer, even though Pochettino performance at PSG is still not optimal, but the full trust of PSG against Pochettino made him very comfortable working there, and Pochettino certainly has a great opportunity to be able to add to his achievements in coaching the club if he is able to bring PSG to the champions league title for the first time in their history.

There have been many media in England reports that Van de Beek is very unhappy at Man United, he wasn't given much playing time to prove
himself. Even though Van de Beek felt he had shown maximum results in the training session. New rumors are circulating that Van de Beek wants
to leave Man United as long as Solskjaer stays, because Van de Beek feels that his football career will end, if he continue to not be given
the opportunity to play by Solskjaer. Van de Beek has just changed a new agent and asked to find a new club if Solskjaer is retained
by Man United's management. To be able to survive Solskjaer is rumored to have to give good results against Tottenham, Atalanta and Man City.
We'll see what happens to Solskjaer and Van de Beek at Man United, I myself saw a series of bad results obtained by Man United in the last few games,
It's enough to prove that Solskjaer is not worthy of being retained by Man United.

I didn't hear about Pochettino taking charge of Man United, in fact he's calmer at PSG and there haven't been any rumors with the PSG coach.
One chance at Ole was in a Spurs game was he able to win? or vice versa, now this is a lot of question marks if he loses to Spurs, will this be an absolute decision to sack Ole?
Because I see this speculation continues until someone says that even if Man United loses to Spurs, Ole will still be maintained.

Bale, Hazard, and Modric deserve to be put on the transfer list because they are no longer young. While some players like Jovic and Mariano cannot show us good performance.

Remember, it is not just about being able to pay, it is also about being able to stay under salary cap. Haaland will obviously make the amount of money superstars are making right now. Even Ronaldo at his age is still making 20+ million pounds every year, that is mainly because whichever team he goes to will sell jerseys of him enough to pay it back and then some, but at the same time Haaland is not really unknown neither anymore.

This is why I believe that there is a good chance Haaland could ask 20-30 even as high as 40 maybe, that is probably his second contract on his team, but 20-30 range is definitely something he may ask and he may get. With the salary cap situation, and if they also get Mbappe, then getting Haaland on top of it will be near impossible for them.

Just two players who will cover maybe 30% of the salary cap, then with 70% you need 9 others for starters, and then at least another 8-9 players as well, that means 20 or more players for the other 70%, which is only 3-4% for each player, not going to be something simple to pull off.

I think if players having a huge bill like Hazard, Bale, Modric are sold, there is gonna a bit of room for the wage bill of both Haaland and Mbappe. Another thing is that I don't think that they will sign both of them at the same window, as I'm doubtful that they have that much money after the pandemic affected them. So if Mbappe and Haaland are bought over 2 or 3 transfer windows, and within those windows, if Real can offload some of these high-waged players, I think they will be able to fit it in.
