⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[CryptoPanda]

Brazil has had a bad national team football experience in recent times and coach Tite took the right decision when he resigned. There is speculation that Jose Mourinho is also interested in the coaching job. A former Porto player Carlos Alberto stated that the "Special One" has contacted him to become his assistant in Brazil.

Also, the well-connected Brazilian legend Ronaldo Nazario has offered to search for a suitable coach for the Seleção Canarinho.
The former Spain coach Luis Enrique Martinez currently has a better chance of clinching this top job. But there are also speculations that he is currently targeting club coaching.

I think the Brazilian national team has nit be living up to expectations in recent years. I have always known Brazil to play very fine and entertaining football but that has changed, now they struggle to make it to the finals of the world cup. The search for a new coach after Tite's resignation should be to improve the team and restore back the glory days and shouldn't be an exercise of politics.

It is good to see De Gea staying for Manchester United. Because there is no meaning in leaving his team at this point.

It looks like Manchester United are also aware of how important he is for the team now. He is still making very important saves for the team and making a big impact on their matches. They don't need to find a new goalkeeper yet. De Gea is still young for a goalkeeper actually. He can play at least a few more years and continue to perform like this. This performance level deserves the starting eleven undoubtedly.

De Gea continues to show his loyalty and commitment to the club. I have known De Gea as a Manchester United goalkeeper for as long as I can remember and up till now he still has so much passion for the club and wants to continue saving the team from conceding goals in their matches.

Sunday's transfer gossip:

England midfielder Jude Bellingham is expected to reject a new contract offer from Borussia Dortmund, with Manchester City feeling they are leading the chase to sign the 19-year-old. Real also want this player and see him as a perfect replacement for Modric. What will Bellingham decide in the end, England or Spain?
Chelsea would also be willing to swap Morocco winger Hakim Ziyech, 29, for Barcelona's Ivory Coast midfielder Franck Kessie, 26. Interesting deal, but how realistic is it that it actually happens?
Manchester United and Spain goalkeeper David de Gea, 32, is willing to take a pay cut if it secures his long-term future at Old Trafford. It seems to me that this would be a perfect deal for both parties.
Manchester United have been offered Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, while Arsenal, Chelsea, Paris St-Germain and Bayern Munich have also been made aware about the 22-year-old Serbia international's availability. Many clubs want Vlahović. How will this football saga end?
Former Spain boss Luis Enrique, 52, is one of the options being considered to take over over as the new manager of the Brazil national team. How realistic is it that the Brazilians will hire a foreigner as a coach?
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti says 20-year-old France midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, who has been linked with Arsenal, will not be allowed to leave the Spanish club as "he's untouchable". So everything is finally clear about Camaving. Or maybe not after all?

Jude Bellingham have been linked to Manchester City for quite some time yet no official bids have been made by Manchester City to Dortmund in regards to their interest in signing Bellingham. We have just few days before the transfer window closes, we shall see the end of this speculations.

Yes, it is going to be better for de Gea if he stays with Manchester United. At this point, it is going to be bad for him, if he does decide to go to another club. I'm sure that it will be hard for him to find his place in a new club. But in Manchester United, if he can improve a little bit he will be a regular goalkeeper for sure.

Luis Enrique seems to be the best bet for Brazil right now. You know, the other big names are either already managing another team or not available at this moment. So, I do not see any other coaches being better right now compared to Luis Enrique.

Jakub Kiwior is officially joined Arsenal from Spezia, Arsenal spend for 25 Million Euros to get him. Spezia is really a bad club in Serie A since they're currently at 15th position, since his position is Central Back, I don't really know his potential and how good he's. I just only know he's good in pass and long pass.
I think Arsenal is taking a risky move in singing him, Kiwior should be really happy since he's now on a club which have 1st position and high likely become a champion in this season.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1616903560502951936

I personally also don't know why Arteta is interested in Jakub Kiwior, so far I haven't watched his game on the field, but maybe Arteta has a plan and sees potential for the future, because Arsenal have so far been pretty good at seeing and utilizing the talent in every player and Arsenal are indeed must have strengthened his back line for future regeneration after maximizing his midfield and front.

Jakub Kiwior is a great defensive midfielder. And he can provide great assistance to the team in the defensive midfield area. This is obviously going to be a great signing for arsenal in my opinion. And I think the money that they have spent is also all right. If it was 2 years ago, I would have said that this is a little too much for this player. But right now the way everyone is spending for players, I think this is okay price for this player. And obviously, if this player proves to be great for Arsenal, this price is not going to hurt them at all.

Well, he is a central defender, Jakub Kiwior gives a lot of solidity when it comes to putting on a good striker and dribbling for the opposing team, he is a solid central defender, although sometimes he has his mistakes, but personally if he Arsenal acquires him, they will put themselves in a very good position because they are not so bad up front, of course we must hope that Gabriel Jesus fully recovers and with a defensive line led by Jakub Kiwior it would be the best for him, however this is not to be invincible, if everyone like the midfielders, forwards, recovering players and full-backs help so that it can be a complete attacking team, and with Jakub Kiwior they could withstand a counterattack very well.

Here relevant information:

Agent confirms client will sign for Arsenal on Monday or Tuesday

Jakub Kiwior is closing in on the official announcement of his transfer to Arsenal from Spezia Calcio, but his agent reports that the deal won’t be done until early next week – with a work permit still pending.

“Jakub will sign on Monday or Tuesday for Arsenal,” the agent told Meczyki.pl, adding: “He will be in VIP Box for the game vs United.”

Even though news only broke in the last few days, this deal has clearly been in the works for at least a few weeks, with the agent explaining that Mikel Arteta had already spoken to Kiwior before the turn of the year.

There is talk that we may be moving close to signing Camavinga on loan and Declan Rice.

...the Gunners are interested in signing the Frenchman on a loan deal until the end of the season with the club's owners willing to back Arteta as they aim to seal the Premier League title.
The Gunners have also reportedly prioritized a move for Declan Rice in the summer

source

Declan seems like a great fit for Arsenal at the moment. Because I think this defensive midfielder will really help Thomas Partey in the middle of the park at this moment. Although they have missed out on João Félix and Mudryk to Chelsea, I think bringing in some new reinforcements will head them maintain the lead they have got right now and will help them secure the league title this season.

Chelsea is not a club owned by a community or group of persons. Chelsea is a personal business and as such can always take a decisions at anytime. It wouldn't have been so easy to sack Tuchel after such effort and sacrifice he paid just to see Chelsea in the level it was. Abramovich impatient management couldn't give Tuchel the slightest chance to make adjustment and chose a better strategy that suits the season. I quest right now it's too late to seek the return of Thomas tuchel, let's just pray Porter turn things round.

I think that you are wrong about that. Chelsea was a club owned by a group of investors and todd. Todd joined with consortium investors to take over Chelsea from Abramovich unlike when chelsea was owned by Abramovich itself but Chelsea is owned by a group of investors right now.
Todd is not owning chelsea by himself. He was a part of consortium investors who take over Chelsea. There are also rumors about tuchel may come back to Chelsea soon. Potter didn't perform so well during his time in Chelsea.
The massive buys by Chelsea seems useless at this moment caused by it was rarely winning the game in EPL.

[Minecache]

Because Juventus are in big trouble in the Serie A after 15 points of them have been removed. They are most likely to be out of the Europa League or Champions League next season unless they win the Europa League title or the Coppa Italia one (If I'm not wrong the Coppa Italia winner joins the Europa League groups directly). It would be the best for Vlahovic to join a team competing especially in the Champions League in that case. Arsenal, PSG and Bayern Munich might have the upper hand on Chelsea I think. Chelsea aren't close to one of the Champions League tickets now.

Right now considering the circumstances. Bayern Munich should be the one going really hard for Dušan Vlahović. He is obviously going to be a great player wherever he goes. I don't think Arsenal is going to push for him too much. PSG already has a great attacking setup.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti says 20-year-old France midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, who has been linked with Arsenal, will not be allowed to leave the Spanish club as "he's untouchable". So everything is finally clear about Camaving. Or maybe not after all? 

Camavinga is actually a good and important player for Real Madrid. I was actually a little surprised to see that Real Madrid might let this player go. But now I am happy that Real Madrid are finally deciding to keep him in the squad. He can be a great asset to the team.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Will Retire from the world of football.

There have been new rumors about Ibrahimovic set to end his career in football this summer. The 41-year-old striker is still undergoing the recovery process after sustaining a knee injury and having to undergo surgery.

At first it was predicted that Ibrahimovic would play in early 2023, but then news emerged that he would hang up his boots this summer and would take the position of Ambassador at AC Milan.

If you read the article carefully, there's no official announcement from Ibrahimovic if he's the one who want to retire due to his old physical and body.

I'd say it's still an assumption from the journalist comparing the performance of Ibhrahimovic after his injury, Ibrahimovic might retire, but it's still not 100%.

3 months ago, Ibrahimovic doesn't have any plan to retire from football career [1] maybe he want to beat the record of the oldest football player e.g. Kayuzoshi Miura who's still playing despite he's 55 years old [2] it's still a long journey for Ibrahimovic lol.

I am sorry if this sounds a little bit harsh, but Marco Reus can't provide anything to United at age 33. He was a good player back in the day there is no doubt about that, but United already has a good roster right now, and the only position they need is a striker.

If they could get a superstar there, then they do not need any more players at all, from the other 10 players on the field to even bench players, they are all perfect and should be fighting for a title if they keep this up, I mean if they started the season better, they would have been fighting against Arsenal right now, that bad start caused them to be not fighting for a title, so a striker and they could be fighting for a title next year for sure.

I have not seen the news where they said Man United is interested in Marco Rues. If its true, then questions need to be asked about United recruitment policy. Aside the fact that Rues is 33, he's also injury prone. As a younger player he was always getting injured, talk more of now that he's 33.

United need a striker quite alright, but saying that's the only position that needs filling would be incorrect. They need a creative midfielder. Bruno is not creative neither is he a play maker. They need a CM that is both a playmaker and is also creative. That aside, Antony is not a player you can rely on as a winger so they should better be hunting for a better right  winger.

That's old news. The rumor appeared again after ten hag has been facing reus's agent. The team has decided for not to continue the deal with reus's agent and cancel it. I remember that when in 2014 MU has been offering reus for 50 millions.
You can dig for some old news. The old news was getting recycled again due to the movement that was already made by ten hag. Yeah, i do agree if he was always injured and too old.
It's not worthy to sign him for united at this moment where the team was always aiming to get young talented players. Reus is too old. He care retire anytime.

Both for Matt Hummel's and Rues but alltbey said was no
How would he take a fee higher than that at his current agehe has quality but united are no longer spending unwisely
A particular amounts for players btjat a. Re worth the money

Arsenal are taking possibilities to open negotiations to gets Valladolid wonderkid Ivan Fresneda and it say Arteta really impress to his performance although he is still 18 years old but he has make his debut with Valladolid although he still cannot to playing regular but Arteta feel Fresneda will being an potential player especially in the next few years Fresneda will change became an tough defender and apparently Fresneda also will not be refuse if there is a club who interested to him and Fresneda also will considers if there is good offers came to him and Fresneda has contract clause 26 millions poundsterling i think it's not hard for Arsenal to release that clause

[Bananington]

It's not worthy to sign him for united at this moment where the team was always aiming to get young talented players. Reus is too old. He care retire anytime.

Manchester United need to be very selective on the player that they decide to sign because they can no longer make player additions to the team that will later be disappointing or disappointing on start. Anthony is proving that the money spent on him is too much and the other new loan Dutch striker looks like another waste. Manchester United should make a move for a renowned and quick striker to compliment the pace of Rashford, that is what they need, not someone as slow as Wout Weghorst in this very competitive premier league.

To be honest at this point Arsenal's squad is fairly complete, but it seems Mikel Arteta and Edu are not quite satisfied and it was a good decision to try and get 18 year old wonderkid Ivan Fresneda from Valladolid. Ivan Fresneda plays as a right-back, it is likely that he will be used as a cover for Ben White who we know he was often withdrawn from in the second half of the match, it is likely due to his poor stamina that Arteta will try other options besides using Tomiyasu. The price clause seems to be redeemed by Arsenal, considering that for a wonderkid the price is quite reasonable.

After this season, Tottenham Hotspur will part ways with Antonio Conte! He is nearing the end of his contract, but the Spurs have not talked to him about a new contract. This isn't a surprise, rather I expected it. However, he still has the option of signing a new contract. Conte may not stay, but who will replace him? The team's form does not improve when new managers are brought in every other season. It's not just about the coach. It is also important for them to look beyond that because a new manager will face the same challenges and make the same promises.

I totally agree with you, the tenure of Antonio Conte is threatened and he could be up for sack sooner than later and it won't come as a surprise because with the level at which the team is performing, it is normal for the club to want to seek better coaching services to give positive results. The question now is who will replace Conte if he leaves. Many people are already suggesting Thomas Tuchel to take over as Spurs manager, we shall find out what decisions Tottenham will take in coning weeks.

Antonio Conte failure at Tottenham began to be seen due to his failure to form a stronger Tottenham defense, in the 20 games that have been played, Tottenham have conceded 31 goals. Antonio Conte is synonymous with a great coach in building defense as he did when he was still in charge of Juventus, Chelsea and Inter, but he failed to make Tottenham defense stronger.

Tottenham must be aware of the performance that Antonio Conte has provided for the club, the fragility of the defense has made it increasingly difficult for Tottenham to get into the top four.
Regarding Thomas Tuchel who will replace Antonio Conte position at Tottenham, I think Tuchel should consider the offer. Tuchel, who was dishonorably sacked by Chelsea, can return to work in the Premier League while showing his quality as a great coach which made Chelsea regret the decision to sack him.

I don't even know the brain behind the signing of Weghort and how it will favour United. I don't trust Ten's decision in that. Ghorst is old and slow and he was practically missing throughout the match against Arsenal. Could it be that he was defending or what really happened.
Was it because of him that United lost out on Gakpo and not interested in Osimhen?

osimhen would be better, weghot is not fit in, I think Ten Tag used nation sentiment to sign weghot to man utd. He's not a threat in the eighteenth yards. He's a dangerous striker up front.  I prefer martial up front than weghot.
Yesterday, Manchester United was playing without a striker. Because weghot present wasn't notice in the match.

Brilliant midfielder at this age, it's either he leaves for Real Madrid or  Manchester City, Jude Bellingham should make decision that would be suitable for him also for long term. I wouldn't advice a move to Liverpool. ( Not because I fan red devils though ).

If he goes to Liverpool, he will have a comfortable environment for jersey competition. If he goes to Manchester City or Real Madrid, he will play in the starting eleven again, but with a more intense competitive environment. I think Liverpool would be a good choice for him.

Also, according to media reports, Jude Bellingham is a big Gerard fan. He is close friends with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson from the national team. It is said that the possibility of Jude Bellingham to choose Liverpool is very high. We may not be able to predict correctly which team he will be transferred to, but it is now certain that he will not stay in Borussia Dortmund any longer.

Martial is far way better than Woghorst. Woghorst was in the match but practically not in the match. If it were Martial that played against Arsenal, Manchester United wouldn't have missed Casemiro that much because Martial knows how to hold ball and he has control which gives him the ability to join midfield most times to build the game up.
On a good day I prefer Elanga up there above Woghorst because Elanga will attack and pressure defense to make mistakes.

Jakub Kiwior is officially joined Arsenal from Spezia, Arsenal spend for 25 Million Euros to get him. Spezia is really a bad club in Serie A since they're currently at 15th position, since his position is Central Back, I don't really know his potential and how good he's. I just only know he's good in pass and long pass.

I think Arsenal is taking a risky move in singing him, Kiwior should be really happy since he's now on a club which have 1st position and high likely become a champion in this season.



Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1616903560502951936

It gives me joy to see Arsenal are not making random signings but good additions to the team. Jakub Kiwior is a good and talented player who plays as a centre back, this signing will give Arteta more options in the defense and will be a good competition and backup for Gabriel Jesus. I think this is a good development for the club.

Dani Alves is now without a club and has been arrested in Barcelona. With 39 years, he is very old and it is time for him to end his career, unfortunately in a very negative way. He recently played in the World Cup, won the Champions League 3 times and played 126 times for the Brazilian national team and even played 408 games for Barcelona. Now Dani Alves have molested a woman at the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona. The Les Corts police station arrested him afterwards. He will not play in Mexico for the UNAM Pumas after this, so he is currently without a club.

At this point, I will agree with you that it is time for Dani Alves to retire as a club legend for Barcelona. Dani Alves is one of the most decorated Brazilian footballers of all time, this scandals are disgraceful and will destroy his reputation if he is found guilty. I wouldn’t judge the man until all the facts of the case are available to the public and the court pronounces her verdict.

That sudden contract renewal rejection by bellingham indeed make the transfer window heating.

Despite recently liverpool are the one who pretty close linked with bellingham , chelsea can always hijack this type of transfer lol .. they have spent nearly half of a billion in just 6 months , wonder what makes chelsea a bit charming in this transfer window ... bellingham & declan rice reported become next top priority for chelsea though.
