⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[dataispower]

Samuel Chukwueze is still pretty young.
I think he has some great potential. But I don’t know why Aston Villa is so determined to bring him.
As far as I know, he has not scored even ones this season (15 matches)

Unai Emery managed Samuel Chukwueze at Villarreal he must had discovered some potential in him, though he might not be regular goal scorer however he had a one  assist in 14 matches due to non regular playing time and I believe Emery wanted to sign in January to beef up Aston Villa attack, he is a young energetic and pacy player who will adapt well in EPL, I watched him played against Portugal when he was used at the right wing for Nigeria in their last friendly match, immediately when he came on he made an instant impact on the game.

Samuel Chukwueze is still at an early stage in his career. He will have to be taken special care of if the actual potential needs to be unlocked from him.
At this point, I am not sure what is actually going to be the best for him in the future at this point.

Jordan Pickford is a very good goalkeeper and I think he can be a good asset for Chelsea.
So far, I have also heard that Chelsea is interested in him, but nothing more has happened.

Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga were not doing badly in Chelsea, I don't think there is any need to sign Jordan Pickford as a replacement for the duo, before Kepa got injured he was in a terrific form keeping clean sheets in many of their matches when Graham Potter was appointed as their manager.

Jordan Pickford is a good goalkeeper. But I agree with you that probably they should not bring Jordan Pickford in right now.
Because they already have to go to goalkeepers in the team. And bringing in Jordan Pickford is only going to cost much more problems in the team.
It will be hard to rotate these goalkeepers at that time. So probably it’s best that they do not bring him in.

Mendy the Senegal goal keeper would want to leave Chelsea and go to a clubbwhwre he has enough game time to participate because Kepa has picked up back his good form which he had under Sari. That's a good time as a Chelsea fan to see himpick form back.
In the aspect of Pickford, we Chelsea do not want his service he may deserve a big club but not Chelsea. Jordan Pickford flops at times in big game's surprisingly.

Cristiano and Manchester ended their contract he is now a free agent.

The question is now where he will go?

My bet is Sporting back in Portugal

Returning to Sporting Lisbon is probably for the best, but I think Cristiano Ronaldo still has a high desire to play in Europe's top league. There are rumors mentioning Bayern Munich or Chelsea but it's not all that clear. Could there be a chance for him to return to Serie A and join AS Roma. If that happens, it will certainly be a pretty good choice.

I think that he might still stay in the English Premier League. I mean that Chelsea have had some interest in signing him for some time. There were rumours about a possible transfer even last summer. Chelsea aren't in a good condition right now. They are struggling to score goals easily in their league especially. They obviously need a striker to solve this problem. I assume their current form is related to the management also but they would really make use of a capable striker now. Because it doesn't seem like they will do good with Aubameyang and Broja there.

Ronaldo can play a big role at this point if he goes there. As Chelsea are in the Champions League too Ronaldo would be eager to sign for them.

Ronaldo will not return to Sporting at this time. Ronaldo is a big name and he feels that he still owns the biggest stage, especially with his 500,000,000 social media followers recent achievement.
Ronaldo will like to go to another big club to correct his recent bad performance in Manchester United, this will help redeem him before he will think about returning to Sporting.
Ronaldo will only return to Sporting when he wants to rest and with the body language of Ronaldo I don't think he feels that now is time to rest.

Manchester United just released a club statement that Ronaldo has been released based on mutual agreement.

We all saw this coming, no matter how they would try to forgive him theirs actually no way he his coming back. His coming back might affect other team mates. His statement of be been disrespectful to the Coach was Harsh.

It has been a disaster return. Will Ronaldo get a top club to sign in? That will depend on his world Cup performance.

Last few hour ago Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo have released on mutual agreement cut off contract early before over on June 2023, right now Cristiano Ronaldo become free agent and his chance moving to the team participants at Champion League could be easy. Ronaldo have great reputation right now and bring positive impact based on he has many fans around the world, I think new team reach agreement to sign Ronaldo have potential with T-Shirt sold out and home ticket easy for selling.

For new team maybe Ronaldo will announce after World Cup because he want fully focus with national team and could be last time opportunity for him playing on World Cup.

I think Ronaldo will be surrounded by many big clubs to get Ronaldo signature after the world cup is over. Even Chelsea, who were very closely associated with Cristiano Ronaldo last summer, would be very lucky if they got Ronaldo in the January window because they don't have to spend money to get Ronaldo. But other than that I think that teams from Serie A are also rumored to want Ronaldo services in the second half of this season. So, back again with Ronaldo desire to play again in the Champions League this season, of course he will most likely go to a club that has already qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League. but I think we will see this certainty after the world cup is over.

[FanEagle]

I don't know how long Kepa is injured because to me Chelsea has a good Keeper in Kepa and Mendy is there as a backup to Kepa. Bringing in a new keeper means to sell Mendy. But Chelsea has a more problem of who will put the ball at the back of the net than the problem of who will save the ball from entering the net.

I don't know maybe it is just me but I feel like Kepa was never a goalkeeper at a Chelsea level, he was just too stubborn to realize he was way over his head and had the personality of a superstar and that gave him a boost, and people were having hard time going against him, after all if a manager benches him and then they lose, that would mean fans would be furious and that’s a hard job.

However, if we are talking about injury and Pickford comes in, then they could just not put Kepa back in, as long as Pickford shows a few good games and a good save and I believe Pickford is way too good not to keep the position, he could actually become the starting goalkeeper for the long term.

[Rruchi man]

Cristiano and Manchester ended their contract he is now a free agent.

I guess it is what he wanted, he has got it now leaving without any compensation for the termination of the contract he has with the club. There are rumors of Chelsea owner still interested in him, I wonder if we win finally get to see him in a Chelsea blue uniform, or perhaps Newcastle. Since he is currently without a club, the world cup becomes a good platform to prove to prospective clubs that he can still be of a positive influence o any club that comes for him.

I don't know If Ronaldo's interview with Piers about the club not making any progress has had an influence on the Glazer's family decision to consider selling again?

The fans and the club would be relived that this Ronaldo saga has finally come to an end. I am sure that Ronaldo's greatest football mistake is his return to Manchester United. And the club would also consider his rebuying as its greatest blunder. Ronaldo is now free like a bird to sign for any club that will meet his ever insatiable wants. Goodluck to him and his future club.

The Glazer family have lost the confidence of the fans of Manchester United long time ago. In fact the fans would be delighted that they want to sell the club. Although Ronaldo's outburst was unethical but you cannot doubt some facts he unveiled about the club's management. Some of the issues he raised are the truth and the Glazers might want to sell the club because they might face more opposition from the fans.

there are again two new rumors from the premier league...
especially since aston villa reportedly has a "concrete" interest in signing fc villarreal striker Samuel Chukwueze in january and fc chelsea reportedly considering a summer move for fc everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford

Samuel Chukwueze is still pretty young.
I think he has some great potential. But I don’t know why Aston Villa is so determined to bring him.
As far as I know, he has not scored even ones this season (15 matches)

Jordan Pickford is a very good goalkeeper and I think he can be a good asset for Chelsea.

I think Villa are so interested in bringing Samuel Chukwueze to the club in January because of his relationship with the new manager Unai Emery back in Villareal where Samuel Chukwueze was a very important player for Unai Emery's side and the manager wishes to continue working with the Nigerian player in the premier league with Aston Villa, I can say this deal is likely to happen because of the relationship of the parties involved.

It was already a bit coming. It was also a matter of time before Ronaldo left United. He is now without a club, but I don't think it will last long. After all, a club no longer has to buy him, but only pay his salary. And if Ronaldo is a bit smart, then he does not ask for a sky-high salary so that he can choose the club himself. He had also been linked with Bayern Munich, which is also a very nice club. I think the Arsenal shirt wouldn't look out of place on him either, but maybe it's not good to keep playing in England. You may not be able to walk comfortably there because there is also a lot of hatred towards him from many Manchester supporters. A return to the Italian league would also be a serious option, or perhaps an adventure in England where Bale also plays.

It will be interesting to watch because it is still possible for him to go to another EPL club, especially in this case Chelsea are still trying to bring this player to the Stamford Bridge.
But on the other hand I have also read that there is still hope that PSG will bring him in and I want this to happen even if it is difficult. on the other hand Sporting can return to being the right place to look at his current age so even though he can still be competitive, there is nothing wrong with returning to the first club that made his name before ending Ronaldo's professional career.

~snip~
Too bad! After the transfer of Robert Lewandowski to FC Barcelona, FC Bayern is still looking for another striker. And here the (very) young Moukoko would have fitted perfectly into the FC Bayern team. It would be a shame if another talented player leaves the Bundesliga. Come on Bayern, sign him!

A young talent owned by Borrusia Dortmund and the German national team, Youssoufa Maukoko. attracted a lot of interest from many parties from Manchester United and Liverpool, whose contract will expire this season with Dortmund at the end of this season.  and there's still one more, other English clubs are also interested in bringing in Youssoufa Maukoko in the upcoming transfer window.  yes, Tottenham also want the services of this young player.

however, if Youssoufa Maukoko joins Bayern Munich in the next season. I'm sure his career will shine even more, and his skills will be honed even more. but it's a shame, that rumor is not true as reported by Sky Sport.

So, if United are really interested in him. I'm sure Man United will be really serious about bringing him to Old Trafford in the transfer market next summer. Youssoufa Maukoko is a talented young player, if he started his career in the premier league. I am optimistic, his career will shine even more.

In this kind of situations when several top clubs come enquiring for a players availability it will now depend on the players decision and choice of destination. I also agree that moving to Bayern munich will indeed help the player's development and improvement. Whichever club he moves to in January we shall find out after the world cup competition going on.

[izsara]

Chelsea already boasts two world-class keepers, so they don't need any more. Pickford is not on Kepa or Mendy's level, thus Chelsea should focus on fixing their striker problems before worrying about the keeper. I believe Chelsea will recover once the offensive problems are resolved.

Purchasing Pickford will force them to sell either Kepa or Mendy because they can't employ him as a backup goalie as he plays for the first team.

But in this case it might be a little different for Potter because indeed when you look at Mendy who has also been replaced by Kepa which previously rarely happened in the Tuchel era.
I actually quite agree with you, instead of looking for a goalkeeper, it's better for them to look for midfield and forward players because it's still a little difficult for them this season.
On the other hand when Pickford is a Chelsea buy then I can guarantee Kepa or Mendy will go.

I would love to watch Ronaldo at Chelsea while they are having scoring problems already. I know that he hasn't shown any impressive performance but it was due to his not getting many chances in the starting eleven. Otherwise he was pretty solid in the previous season by scoring so many goals in the Premier League.

I don't believe the Real Madrid rumours because Benzema is returning soon. As long as he doesn't get injured once again in a short time I don't expect them to sign any centre-forward in January. Maybe Ronaldo had amazing years there but we have left those days behind.

Even though it's possible that this could happen, I think it's still fifty-fifty, especially in this case, it's certain that the traitor stamp will be in front of Ronaldo's name, although actually this isn't too much of a problem for me because he's still a good player and I still admire Ronaldo. .
On the other hand, now he has options, which is actually quite a lot about the future because if you look at it beforehand, apart from Chelsea, there are still several other big clubs who still want his services.

[kawetsriyanto]

Cristiano and Manchester ended their contract he is now a free agent.

Yep, it is official already. Man United terminated Ronaldo's contract since Ten Hag is no longer interested to keep Ronaldo on Man United squad. I think it is a wise decision, Ronaldo can get a proper club for him now, while Ten Hag can focus on his players without the pressure of Ronaldo's big name on the club. Ten Hag is likely to build Man United squad with a new generation.

The question is now where he will go?

Sporting is one of the possible clubs for his destination. But I hear a rumor that the club isn't interested to sign him.
Recently, there was a rumor that Bayern Munchen wants to sign Ronaldo because they need a top CF like Ronaldo. It makes sense, Bayern Munchen needs a new striker to strengthen their attacking line. They cannot rely on Muller only.

For me truthfully, I feel they have got a good front line of attacking players but, the big problem is that they do not have a good midfielder' who link's the defense and attackers very well. I'd also love to see Cristiano Ronaldo performing at a top European side before he turns fourty finally.

Some things I have come to observe bout Todd Boehly, if he continues to run Chelsea in the manner he is doing then Chelsea will get to a worsening situation/ position in the Premier League table than this one.
Todd Boehly, is just business minded, not really after how the club and squad plays but what he gets alone ( Profit ) which is too bad for a big club like Chelsea.

Impressed with Chelsea though even if I'm no fan of em, they are the most successful British Side in the last Fifteen good year's. The trophies they have won are unmatched.

Ronaldo back to Real Madrid ? Nah! He had a broken relationship with Florentino Perez during his last days at Real Madrid, I don't see a possible move.

Chelsea has seemed potential for him, but I don't know how it goes, because Chelsea is not performing well like MU on the premier league. Chelsea still has problems with the coach and I guess between Ronaldo and Potter does not have compatibility with each other, Ronaldo's temperament often explodes when in changing room and fields. Potter looks worried that Ronaldo come to chelsea will affect for solidarity team and maybe won't be as substitution for sterling or others.

I guess it is what he wanted, he has got it now leaving without any compensation for the termination of the contract he has with the club. There are rumors of Chelsea owner still interested in him, I wonder if we win finally get to see him in a Chelsea blue uniform, or perhaps Newcastle.

I don't think that Ronaldo would like to play for Newcastle united over Chelsea, While there's already a link for him to be signed by Chelsea during the last window transfer, Too Current Chelsea position in the league is another big problem for Ronaldo to move to Chelsea in January, I guess one of his reasons to leave Man United as at that time was due to abscent in the Champions League competition, However the season is not yet over and he can help Chelsea turn things around for them, if he wants to play in Chelsea.

If Newcastle United knows what is good for them they should not think of signing Ronaldo. Newcastle is still building their team and Ronaldo is a heavyweight player who has the capacity to destruct the chemistry of any team that is not organised. So if they make that mistake in getting Ronaldo they will have big problem, the only reason they would like to sign Ronaldo is for business purposes  and to boost their shares the more, sell of Jersey but this should not be the problem of Newcastle for now.
