⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Monaco's vice president Vadim Vasyliev is gonna leave the club
He was really the one in charge (even though Rybolovlev is the one bringing the money).
I don't know why but it doesn't look good for Monaco. I wouldn't be surprised if Rybolovlev left the club too after making a few millions (and a few contacts in Monaco).

Monaco had an amazing performance but after Mbappe left the team to seem weak again. Rybolovlev spends a lot of money to bring the club at the top but this seems impossible. I wouldn't be surprised if I see him leaving the club. He has spent too much money and he has got very little in return for his investment.

Apparently, sacking Mourinho and his staff will cost MU 22 million Euros.

That's somewhat a huge amount of money to pay-off someone with, but since that's only the price at which parity could be restored between the squad and club at large, then I think the fee is justified.

Wow.  Mou's agent is good.  Lololol.  Can't wait which club he'll manage next.  If it's Real or some big club, wow.  

Anyway Juve want Salah from LFC.  Offer:  44m GBP and Dybala.  I'd say take it if Dybala's healthy and if they have a potential target to replace Salah.

Some rumors swirling that Chelsea wants Zidane to replace Sarri at the end of the season.  But Zidane wants 200m GBP for transfers and Hazard be given a new contract.  Rofl.  I guess that's his way of saying that it's a no then?    

Still, some bookies have Zidane as the favorite at 1.62 - 1.75 to replace Sarri.

Anyway, vote at the poll above:  Will Sarri be given the sack this summer?

That 200 Million transfer budget is achievable not by their starting budget but through selling players. Although Chelsea is known to be a big spender they haven't gone far to have a starting budget that big, but if he means offloading existing players then he can get what he wants to spend in the transfer window. Selling 4 or 5 players he see unfit for the team might give him the wiggle room he is looking for, now it will be up to him and the owners on who those players will be, this move might also anger the fans but if they sign the players they want to I know that he will be changing their minds about it.

I don't think Sarri will get sacked after just this season, If Chelsea should eventually qualify for the Champions league next season, I think Sarri will get to start the upcoming season as Chelsea's Manager, He could however get sacked early if expectations aren't met after the first matches of the season.

Sarri is showing inconsistency in the last matches. I think that he can't offer anything more to the team, one defeat comes after the other and no good football is played from the squad. In my opinion, the best solution is to sack Sarri before it is too late. There are high chances now that Chelsea will not make it join Europa League in the next season.

I honestly don't think he'll get sacked unless there are things we don't know about that are happening in the locker room.
He's doing the best he can with the players he's got. Kante and Hazard are world class players sure, but the rest of the team is not that great.

But that 200m GBP could also help any decent manager assemble a good squad.  And getting Hazard to stay for another 5 years at Chelsea...?  No need for Zidane.  Sarriball could handle it imho.

Huge losses to Bournemouth, Man City and now against MU is a big hit. We all know how much patience with managers Abramovich have. If something goes wrong - manager is responsible for it. If Chelsea will continue playing like now, I wouldn't be surprised if Sarri will be sacked before end of the season or in summer.

Former French international Lassana Diarra has just announced his retirement, effective immediately.
He used to play for Arsenal, Chelsea and Real Madrid, his career has been mostly ups and downs.
He rescinded his contract with PSG.

I didn’t vote on the poll because I think Sarri might get sacked before the season ends & that option isn’t there.

Fox Sports has reported that there is a potential swap deal involving Manchester United's Romelu Lukaku and Inter's Mauro Icardi and Juventus' Dybala. It is rumored that Machester is looking to swap them between either two Serie A stars which in my opinion is far from happening. The drop on Lukaku's value is way more significant compared to how important those two players are for their team. If they are looking for a real swap deal to happen they might need to start looking for another player.

If he wins the League Cup this weekend then that’s a good start to keeping his job although I think he’ll be judged on if he gets Chelsea into the top 4 regardless of cup success (unless they win the EL as that’s a path to CL qualification too).

I remember him in Real Madrid, not the greatest signing but a decent player who got the job done. At some point he wore the number 10, yeah,  probably the last player you'd expect to wear the legendary number 10 in Real Madrid...I'd rather forget that tbh.

I honestly think he'll get sacked if he doesn't win against Manchester City next weekend. If he does win then the board might wait until the of the season (top 4 is the main objective).

Which would be a hard task for him, Manchester City already defeated them on a horrifying 6-0 win recently this month and City is on a hot winning streak which is currently 5 wins in a row in all matches. But I do think it still depends on the situation as I haven't seen any hot leads on who will be his replacement yet if he gets sack. Sacking him right now won't really do anything as they can't rebuild without a replacement manager planning the next move for the season.

True, Roman Abramovich is one very impatient club owner... According to what I saw in the past involving past manager, If Sarri manages more than 10 games at Chelsea. Then I will think he is somewhat lucky.

Hey while I doubt Dybala will leave as Ronaldo would stay max for one year, then he’s the undisputed star at Juventus so I don’t see him leaving. In the case Mauro he’s just been stripped of his captaincy, and he will be more keen for a swap and come to Manchester United. As far the value is concerned we live in an inflated transfer market, so this deal could very well go ahead but question is will Mauro make it to the starting line up?.

Does Ronaldo have a contract of only one year? I didn't know that.
Overall, Dybala is very overrated he hasn't contributed a lot at Juventus compared to other players and I think that is he moves to another club he will be probably benched or unable to score. If he won't work harder he will not be a competitive player in the future.
