⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

I'm not sure if Haaland will be leaving Manchester City anytime soon. because, Haaland is a long-term project for Pep Guardioa. So, it won't be easy to sign Haaland from the Etihad Stadium.

it's hard enough to see Haaland leave Man City. upon his arrival, made him a goal machine for Man City. they brought in Haaland at a very high price. releasing it for Business gain alone might be detrimental to Man City for the next season. unless they get a replacement that is right for adjustments to the current squad. I don't think Haaland will leave Man City.

Haaland looks extremely happy at Manchester City. So I think a difficult possibility is that Haaland will leave Manchester City. They also love him in the team. Haaland has already become the history of Manchester City and the Premier league. No team wants to lose such a talent. He became a player in Guardiola's system to play for a longer period of time.

Haaland is Manchester city next captain, they will do anything to commit him to stay for a very long period, Haaland has broken alot of Manchester city records in his first season already. he is part of Manchester city and pep project. no reasonable team should bid for him now. until he finishes his contracts

This can not happen when they have Kevin as assistant
Haaland is just there like other players contribute to the fans and the club
He is so close to reaching the goal tally no body expected,the boy is indeed a great player for now he is going no where but staying with Pep Guardiola

Conte was a good coach at Juve, Chelsea and Inter at least he gave those clubs league titles but it didn't go well at Tottenham, Tottenham continued to be inconsistent and when they finally only drew with bottom-placed Southampton and also his statement causing dislike for this coach and several Tottenham players hope the coach will be sacked, https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21768667/tottenham-news-players-conte-sacked/
but who would be fit to replace him? Seeing Tottenham as a team that has good players but lacks achievements is very unfortunate.

After losing Mane last year, Klopp's offensive direction was very lacking.  Now I see that if Mohammed Salah leaves the team, he is not a player who can easily fill his place.  Liverpool will be very impressed and I'm sure Klopp would be sorely missed in this situation.  They must meet all the conditions to sign a new contract with Mohammed Salah.

Indeed Mane's departure had a huge effect on the team and has played a major role in the team's decline in form this season. Even with the new additions, it took some time and even straight loses before finding balance in the last few games. Losing Mo Salah might also have similar effect as Sadio Mane, the best thing for the team at this point is for Liverpool to tie him down with a deal.

When Sadio Mane left Liverpool their attack lacked the usual threat in  their opponent defence, recall the attacking prowess of trio of  Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Firminho then they are always a nightmare to many of their opponent because any of the trio has the ability to score a goal now the team is struggling with scoring of goals Nunez, Gakpo and Jota has not live up to expectations Mo Salah had dropped form thus weakened their attack though they thrashed Man Utd 7-0, however they are inconsistent having lost to Bournemouth a week after.

Muhammed salah leaving Liverpool maybe a big lose to the club just as sadio Mane. Mohammed Salah has played a good impact for the club and it will take time to get someone who can fit in his space. If Mane is to be in Liverpool I know Liverpool's performance won't be this poor . Mane and Salah was a great combination for Liverpool.

There are quite a lot of senior players in City that will come ahead of Erling Haaland in the pecking order for who should be captain, i don't even get it why this is up for any discussion, there is no statement from City as to a change in captain now or in the future, neither do thay have to do that to make Erling Haaland stay at the Etihad.

Having said that, Erling is happy at City, he has scored 42 goals thus far this season, he is definitely going to remain at the Etihad for years to come. I don't think any club is even going to make any bid for him right now or in the recent future, but if the opportunity presents itself later in the future, and Haaland is no longer happy at the Etihad or his contract is coming to an end and he is yet to renew it, then other clubs can swoop in and try to recruit him, but for now he is very much committed to the City project.

Talking about the captain at Man City certainly won't be that easy. Haaland's characteristic is not the leader type, but he is only suitable as an execution machine and his most effective role is just finishing the ball into the penalty box into a goal. That is what we have seen so far regarding Haaland abilities because being a captain leading eleven players is not easy. Don't just because Haaland is the spearhead and able to score goals doesn't mean he also deserves to take on the task of holding the captain's armband. After all, Haaland doesn't care who becomes the captain, because for him as long as he gets the ball to score goals, it's more than enough.

As a coach, Conte has clearly given his best for Spurs. However, as we know after the match ended against Southampton, Conte finally started to criticize the owner and management of the club for the last 10 years for not being able to do anything to win 1 title in any competition. Therefore I am not surprised when there is news that Conte will be sacked and it seems that Conte is very fed up with the performance of everyone in the current team environment. I think even though there is a new coach who will replace Conte, but if there are no significant changes within the club, it will definitely be the same even if Spurs can bring in a new coach. As for the current candidate I don't have any idea of a popular coach to take over Spurs.

A bit surprised that if madrid was picking lukaku as a backup for benzema. I guess it's hard to think that whether this news was true or not. As far as i know if ancellotti is also putting a lot of respect to him. That will be a big surprise if that will be true.

Spanish outlet Fichajes reports that Real Madrid are considering picking up Lukaku from Chelsea in the summer to accompany Karim Benzema in attack.

Los Blancos coach Carlo Ancelotti is a fan of the Belgian striker and a deal would likely be accessible, with the Blues keen to shift the unwanted forward.

https://football-italia.net/real-madrid-considering-troubled-chelsea-loanee-lukaku/

It's really funny when it actually happened. What Ancelotti expects from Lukaku is that he is slowly losing his form.
The current conditions for Lukaku are not very good and what can be seen from several unsuccessful seasons at Chelsea and Inter, especially the price, even though it has definitely decreased, is still not worth it.
I think it's a bad situation to only hope for Lukaku as a substitute for Benzema, at least they can bring in someone better than Lukaku.

We know Benzema is getting old and Real Madrid should start finding another player to replace him even after they extended the contract for another year with him, I think Real Madrid can find much better options than Lukaku, I mean during this season Lukaku couldn't play much for Inter, even a few days ago Inter Milan said they are going to give Lukaku back to Chelsea problem because he could perform well.

If that rumor will come true and i guess that the main motive by ancellotti caused by he was a fan from lukaku. A bit surprised to see that there was a media who has been publishing it. As far as i know that if the rumor about him to go to the real madrid already exist since last year but the problem is there was no real execution by madrid to buy him from chelsea. I think that chelsea will let him go out from the club even with a half of price.

Chelsea needs to let some players to leave caused by chelsea has so many players. It's better lukaku accept such offer if madrid will be giving him a chance.

I also can't stop thinking about what Ancelotti wants from a player who is no longer productive in all respects. Look at Lukaku, who this season alone has not earned any trust at Chelsea and has mostly sat on the bench. Lukaku is not the right choice to continue with Real Madrid, which requires young players who are talented and have the enthusiasm to play optimally. If that really happened, the decision that Ancelotti took would not change anything for Real Madrid.

Lukaku is good striker that can suit to Real Madrid style of play because of his pace, especially as we know that Real Madrid have good wingers and midfielders that are capable of feeding him with passes, therefore it is not a bad option if Real Madrid go for him, he might be having a bad time in Inter Milan and I am sure Chelsea will not keep him.

In this case, I quite agree that Benzema is getting older, but as we have agreed, in fact, in Lukaku's opinion, he is not the right alternative because, seeing from his current condition, there are still many other players who can be used as options apart from Lukaku. The last 2 seasons after Lukaku shone at Inter didn't go well until now so I don't think this was the right choice

I just saw the news about this and it's hard to believe when they brought an alternative and that was Lukaku.
In terms of age and performance he was good but that was a few years ago and now is not his era.
With the financial condition that Madrid have now, they can still bring in a better alternative I think.

It would be better if Real Madrid took a striker other than Lukaku. Lukaku has failed to perform well in recent seasons and it would be a big risk if Real Madrid signed him. I agree more if Real Madrid takes a young player to replace Benzema. Benzema will remain in the team until next season, so it is an opportunity for them to find young players. So far Benzema has been reliable, so they still have time.

I agree with you, Romelu Lukaku is not an ideal player for Real Madrid he did not record a good appearance in the last 2 seasons even including the burden of the club
I personally think Lukaku is still under Benzema based on quality so it is not appropriate as a substitute for Benzema,  there are still many other players who are more appropriate like Mohammed Kudus, this player is rumored to be the target of Manchester United and reportedly Real Madrid is also interested in contracting him. Usually if the choice between Manchester United and Madrid, players will prefer go to Madrid.

I honestly do not think this is going to happen. The only reason it might happen is if Real Madrid gets a very good deal. Or the coach is still ambitious about Lukaku?
I just see this as a fun experiment.

Otherwise, this is not something Real Madrid is going to count on to have a great return. I think Real Madrid should not go towards this. Real Madrid should be thinking about bringing in Mbappe or Haaland. Maybe they should be even thinking about Harry Kane. But certainly not Lukaku. No point in experimenting with a failed experiment.

I'm pretty sure Real Madrid would want a player younger than Lukaku, he will be 30 in May, so we could say that he's getting a little old, he is a good option to have more time signing another young striker that can play for years to come for Real Madrid without his performance dropping due to his age, Harry Kane is about the same age and he's a better option than Lukaku, Haller is also a good option.

Yep, in the end, if indeed this is forced, it's not impossible, he will also be like Hazard, who really has a big salary but is not used at the club, especially as we know with Madrid's condition, if indeed he can't perform well at the beginning, then he will finish his career there.
With the financial situation and the big name from Madrid I think they can get someone better than Lukaku.

Lukaku might be going through some fitness challenge currently but it doesn't dispute the fact that he is a good striker. Mbappe and  Haaland a better strikers but they will be very expensive and Real Madrid might not be willing to splash such amount on them. Tottenham Hotspur revealed that they will be willing to let Harry Kane leave the club if any club offers £100m. These players are very expensive. And Real Madrid is not seeking for a replacement for Karim Benzema but a backup. Benzema is still Real's number one striker and these top class strikers might not be willing to serve as a substitute to the world best player. But Lukaku will be very willing to play as a backup striker and he will be cheap to attract.

And we got some more FC Bayern news. German Sky Sport News is reporting that, if one of the wingers/midfielders has to leave the club, it's likely to be Serge Gnarby. The winger has taken a lot of criticism in recent months and his performances have been rather mixed lately. Leroy Sané on the other hand is likely to stay at Bayern.

If one of Leroy Sané or Serge Gnabry has to leave, the clear tendency is towards Gnabry. The latter, subject to a lot of criticism recently, would not be against moving on, though nothing is decided at the moment [@Plettigoal, @SkySportNews]

Marcel Sabitzer who is currently on loan at Manchester United, is likely to sign a permanent contract at ManU. At least it's pretty clear that he has no future at Bayern at this point.

Marcel Sabitzer wants to stay at Man United. The English club 'can imagine' signing him permanently. No future at FC Bayern

Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1637870077834846220

As a Bayern fan, I would be fine with both decisions. Sabitzer has obviously no future at Bayern and yea ... Serge Gnarby, don't know what to say. Strange performances in the past months. No clue if it's worth giving him another high paying contract.
