⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Coyster]

Everton are thinking of sacking Rafael Benitez or the director of football Marcel Brands by the end of this week. I wonder what the real reason behind their incredibly bad form in the recent times is. Maybe the game plan is the reason or it is caused by an in-team problem maybe. Whatever the reason is, they need to end it at the earliest opportunity. Otherwise a very tough season is ahead of them.

Rafa Benitez faces another possibility of being sacked, that will further affect his career negatively, Everton are nowhere near were they want to be, and the board will want to do something as soon as possible so things do not get worse than they already are, and in football, it's always the manager that faces the axe, and it is very possible Rafa will be relieved of his duties sooner rather than later. Everton have enough quality in their team to keep them in the top 8, so currently, they are way below their standards.

According to Telegraph, a good reliability source MANCINI is a candidate for going to Manchester United after this 6 months contract for Ragnink.

It can happen IMHO.

Especially if Italy will fail to qualify for the Mondial, alternatively the major candidate for the bench is Pochettino.

I think Chelsea have most completed defender position right now from Rüdiger, Thiago Silva, Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta have top performance, but last rumors still not have agreement with new extended contract for Rüdiger and Christensen giving bad decision if Chelsea failed to extended both defender. Christensen have an issues will move to Barcelona because his style make Xavi interested to get him in next window transfer and Rudiger have rumors will move to Madrid.

I would assume that if they manage to win something this year, they could possibly hold at least 2 of their defenders, or maybe even all three. However, if they manage to win premier league, or even if not win it but just be high enough then I assume that they will be capable of buying a new defender as well. Defenders usually do not cost that much and for 40-50 million pounds you could get amazing defenders, unlike strikers who can go as high as 150+ if they are worldstars.

Moreover, they managed to win UCL last year and this year they could be high at premier league and probably be at a high position at UCL as well which equals to good enough money to buy a superstar defender if they could convince someone. When you are a team at the top of premier league, there is rarely ever a player that you could not buy, it is really unlikely to not be able to convince players neither.

Cristiano Ronaldo was wishing to see him at Manchester United actually. And as far as I've heard, he indicated to the team board that he would really like to work with Zinedine Zidane.

Ronaldo cannot force Man United management to sign Zidane. Moreover, the chance to sign him is very small. Zidane isn't a coach that can be easier to persuade, he is a very tricky person. I heard a rumor that his goal is to be a Franch national coach and PSG already negotiated him to replace Pochettino. I assume he prefers to manage PSG than Man United.

But the interesting part is that his contract is expiring this summer and Chelsea still haven't been in talks with him to extend his contract.

I think Chelsea management will contact him as soon as possible. Rüdiger may ask for a bigger salary if Chelsea management wants him to stay in the squad. But I don't think it is a big problem for Chelsea, they have enough money.

Ronaldo's opinion certainly has some significance due to the status of the player and his influence on the team's game, but in any case, this opinion cannot be decisive for the management of a club like Manchester United, especially since this management would be happy to appoint a French specialist to the post of head coach without it. Much more crucial is the opinion of Zidane himself, and it is not in favor of Manchester United, both because of his personal reluctance to work in the Premier League because of his not very brilliant command of English, and because of the reluctance of Zidane's family in the person of his wife, who is not eager to move to England, especially to Manchester. Therefore, I consider even the recently appeared option of inviting Mancini to this post more likely, although I still consider the option with Pochettino more likely.

Real Madrid are trying to be optimistic about the transfer of Chelsea defender Antonio Rüdiger.

Rüdiger is a great CB but the chance to sign him is too small. I doubt if Real Madrid can sign him because he is one of the key players of Chelsea team. Moreover, Chelsea isn't a club that has a problem in financial, so they have no reason to sell him.

but i read some articles that said that if chelsea didn't increase his salary then he would most likely move, even though until now chelsea had been wooing antonio but the Blues' last offer was at €8 million (£7m/$9m) per years but his fee is still lower than Ruben, Kepa, Marcos, Werner, Thiago Silva, Kai Havertz and Romelu Lukaku and antonio doesn't want to lose to them.

On the other hand, Antonio boasted that it was impossible for Antonio to refuse their offer because with a fairly large salary and Antonio is a strong candidate and Madrid hope to combine him with Militao and David Alaba at the back line.

According to Cadena Ser, the management of the Catalan “Barcelona” is planning a huge sale of football players.

The point is that the club will not be able to make a purchase of new players if it does not sell one of the current ones. According to the source, fullback Clement Langlet and Serginho Desta may leave the camp of the "blue-garnet" players.

Also in question are Frenkie de Jong, Marc-André ter Stegen and Ronald Araujo. However, the club is in no hurry to lose one of these three.

Recall that after 14 rounds, Barcelona have 23 points and the team is in seventh place in the La Liga standings.

Whatever the reason is, they need to end it at the earliest opportunity. Otherwise a very tough season is ahead of them.

Looks like the defeat in yesterday derby made fans start to lose faith in Rafa Benitez, and I think that's a natural thing because so far Everton have been a team that has been able to trouble big teams including Liverpool in the English Premier League, but in the Marseyde derby yesterday they lost which is quite a shame because they lost 4-1 to liverpool, I think in the world of football a coach will not be able to do miracles by improving the club performance quickly and of course Benitez also still needs time to restore Everton performance later, so I think it's best that Everton should be able to give Benitez time to do his job now until the end of the season.

According to Mirror, Arsenal are targeting Everton's young (24) centre-forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin to replace Alexandre Lacazette. But it is doubtful whether Everton would like to sell him that easy. Because he is one of the most valuable players for Everton. And they need him and Richarlison both to be able to recover easier in the future. Even after the season ends, Everton wouldn't be so eager as long as they can't fill his place.

If you look at the poor performances of Aubameyang and Lacazette against Manchester United, Arsenal should indeed look for a striker who is really quite sharp and also agile, I see that so far Arsenal game is starting to improve but they have problems in attack, especially strikers who are not good, aubameyang and lacazette now their performances have decreased drastically which may be due to age, so it is appropriate for Arteta to replace Aubameyang and Lacazette with other strikers who are young and also have high goalscoring instincts.

If we look at Everton's very bad performance, imagine in the last 10 games Everton couldn't win and 3 games in a row lost. Especially the defeat with
a big score against Liverpool, very plausible there is a plan to sack Benitez. Hopefully Everton supporters and Everton management can be a little patient
to give Rafa Benitez a chance until the end of this season. Because sacking in the middle of the season, is not a good thing to do, especially since Everton
do not yet have a potential replacement. Rafa Benitez is a good and experienced coach, maybe Benitez does need time to adapt.

Didnt see this coming....

Liverpool interested in Real striker Benzema (El Nacional)

Liverpool are, according to El Nacional, closely monitoring Karim Benzema’s situation at Real Madrid ahead of a possible move being made in 2022.

It has been suggested that the France international could leave Santiago Bernabeu if the Blancos sign Kylian Mbappe next summer, with Paris Saint-Germain open to the idea of swapping one prolific striker for another.


https://www.goal.com/en/news/live/transfer-news-and-rumours-live/blt5063a1e90361cb0c
And I hear Mbappe will be a free agent come next year, and he is willing to join Real Madrid...if this move happens Benzema is going to Liverpool.

The blunt truth is that Arsenal have not reached a decent height to think that we are up the table to be comfortable. Arteta has to make a very hard decision on wether to continue to trust Aubameyang who has certainly lost his way since he signed his new contract. He has been fantastic for the team but we have to admit it that there’s no fire in his game anymore. I have watched him go from being a prolific striker to someone who doesn’t have courage anymore. They are now into recruiting young players in every positions. Current they are interested in bringing Calvert Lewin. I dont know if he is a complete striker, but anyone that has that much burning fire in him than these Arsenal strikers are preferable now.

Benzema's contract is gonna expire in the summer of 2023. And Liverpool's interest in him might attract Benzema's attention quite much. But he must be happy at the same time at Real Madrid now. However, in case Mbappe comes to Real Madrid then it would be better for Benzema to make a move to Liverpool or another club. And Real Madrid want to sign Erling Haaland too by the way.

[cryptofrka]

Oof, Benzema is one of the rare players that can actually make this Liverpool team even better. He would be a perfect addition, Liverpool would be a complete team with him in the squad.

However, I don't see why would Real let him leave, or why would he want to leave. He'd also be a fairly expensive player (high wages) with no resell value so he isn't a type of transfer that Liverpool board wants to make.

To conclude - it would be amazing. But then again - unfortunately not gonna happen.

Right now aubameyang has been far from expectations, actually at the beginning of his recruitment he was a fairly sharp striker and was even able to become the club's top scorer several times, but I think now is the time for arsenal to look for a better replacement to fill their striker position and let go of dependence on Aubameyang, several striker names have started to be linked with Arsenal, from Dusan, Steaua, Sterling and Calvert who are their targets in January.

Times claims that the Manchester United CF Edinson Cavani wants to be signed by Barcelona next summer. He played in only 5 EPL matches so far and scored 1 goal. He doesn't find many opportunities in the starting eleven and there is no point for him to stay here. He's going to have six months left on his contract this January. He can be signed by Barcelona easily by a contract offer.

Interesting news and possibly could be true as well as Barcelona are actively looking for a striker and recently there were strong reports of them contacting City for Ferran Torres so yeah they are looking for a striker. And on other hand, United would be looking to offload some of their attacking options and Cavani seems likely one on the list. It would be a good transfer for Barca but let's see what United thinks of it.

Barcelona haven't money for any top ^expensive players. maybe they'll sign someone free and cheap ^{like Aguero or Memphis} and that's all. Halland, Sterling and co is just a rumour, in order to raise the price for those players.
if they had money, they would surely keep the Messi.
I guess Cavani is not too expensive, because of his age, but he is a solution only for one or a maximum of two seasons. if they want something more, they need younger players with big potential.

I am not so sure. They are in debt for in last transfer window and even now they have shown interest in players for which the teams were asking for a good amount of money and that's making me believe that they somehow can manage getting quite some few players for good sum of money.  They already have some good young players and now they need some good experienced players who can give the results they need right now.
