⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[tokeweed]

I'm a little late with the news and I'm too lazy to check the through the thread but I just found out that Nagelsmann was replaced by Tuchel to be Bayern's manager..?  How did that happen?  I thought Nagelsmann was doing pretty well with Bayern Munich.  :/.

Yeah, you are pretty late with the news, it happened a few days ago. Shocking to say the least, Nagelsmann had a 100% record in the CL thus far this season with Bayern Munich and he was just a point adrift Dortmund at the summit of the Bundesliga table, so you're right, he was doing pretty well, but i guess the board at Bayern had other ideas, we'd see how well Tuchel does.

I guess there's going to be a couple of EPL managers who'll be under threat to be replaced.  Potter and Klopp.  Poch is going to leave PSG after this season too.  I could see Nagelsmann go to Liverpool and Poch to either Man United or Chelsea.

Pochettino has been fired a long time ago as PSG manager (he is currently unemployed), their current coach is Christophe Galtier. Manchester United are pretty comfortable with Erik Ten Hag, and i see him staying there for many years. Chelsea and Liverpool could prolly fire Graham Potter and Jurgen Klopp respectively, though i expect Liverpool to be more patient with Klopp and give him another season. Nagelsmann might go to spurs, they just recently fired Conte, or he could wait as there is rumor that Ancelotti is leaving Real Madrid at the end of the season to join the Brazilian national team, and he could be a target for them. There are so many options and positions that would open up in the next few months, thus i think good managers currently out of a job wouldn't be short of options in the summer.

Damn...  I looked it up.  Poch got sacked back in July last year!  It's either I totally missed Poch's sacking or I forgot.  This is embarassing to say but I think I totally missed it...  I'll check my posts as I might just have forgotten.  But how do we forget these things..?  I am slightly scared.  I think I might need some CBD for neurogenesis.

Anyway, no way Nagelsmann is going to Tottenham.  Lol.  A guy like him should be thinking of bigger things.  Sorry Tottenham fans but it's a trap.  But the big potential jobs available in the EPL right now are all traps save Liverpool. I think Klopp will be replaced by another German genius.  Poch will go back to Tottenham, a trap or go to Chelsea, another trap.

Pochettino and Nagelsmann are the best young coaches, but I don't think they made the decision to join Spurs if they want their reputation to grow. Because I believe Spurs are very difficult to compete in the Premier League and Champions League. For Pochettino he has worked with The Liliwhtes, his best achievement is reaching the Champions League final. He had better seek new fortune in Italy or Spain.

Yeah I agree, with limited resources and mediocre mindset it's never been easy to win trophies specially in English Premier League and Champions League because here we need something special which is now important for having better results in big leagues and Tottenham is surely never been ideal club for this all because in last few years we have no revolutionary changes which helps them for having good fight for the title in English Premier League in presence of clubs like Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal which are doing amazing job and taking good advantage of their mindset which is helping them for having better results and trophies as well.

Poshettino and Nagelsmann may be still can take chances, but they have to do completely change of this all and having something extraordinary which will help them even this will take time like we have Klopp done at Liverpool.

It seems like Real Madrid are preparing to make really solid transfers in the summer. I have been hearing about two names lately which are Jude Bellingham and Reece James.

Bellingham has already been a top transfer target for Real Madrid for a long time. They might even be one step ahead of all the other rivals joining this race. Because Bellingham has been leaning towards joining Real Madrid side rather than the others. This transfer would make Real Madrid attacking line even more deadly. Reece James is a really solid defender to sign for them also. He is mainly a right-back but he can play as a centre-back when there is a need also. He had an injury period some time ago but now he is okay. He is really young so he can play for Real Madrid for long years too.

There are a number of rumors that we may not be able to dig deeper into regarding Messi, who is starting to feel uncomfortable at PSG. In addition, Neymar will certainly leave the club next season. Whether it's true or not that PSG's failure in the Champions League had a long tail on Messi, not a few PSG fans cornered Messi because they couldn't bring PSG to go further. If that's all true, then which club is willing to offer Messi's big salary? Saudi Arabia Club? or Messi dares to lower the price in order to return to Barcelona?

[savetheFORUM]

Tuchel is comfortable in his new team I think he will be happy with all odds in his new team, for that I believe there is a lot of pressure when you take a job from a big team.
On the other hand I see a better chance for Conte in his new team considering he is a coach who has good characteristics in building a team but he failed to do this at Tottenham.

I think Conte will see a chance of an offer from a Serie A team because he is quite familiar with the atmosphere of the game in Serie A. I would like to see him at Ac milan or at inter milan for next season if anything happens to inter or ac milan.

There is no doubt about Thomas Tuchel having good job on right time with now in near future we are going to have many jobs available for the coaches because we will have few changes at the top rank clubs in different leagues specially I have feeling we will have the good number of jobs in Italy because too many clubs are performing not as their standard, so things can change, and we will have clubs like Inter, AC Milan and Roma because Mou is also linked with Chelsea and Tottenham is also going to have new coach as well with most chances Conte will be in Serie A and many other clubs with PSG is also going to have changes things could be interesting who is going to have new jobs at top level its never been easy but good masala are going to have its part at the end of this season with new jobs and required persons who could be winner it's never been easy.

Some of the players which you mentioned above were already lost their place on starting lineup in Potter era so if Tuchel want them and Bayern allowed him to bought some players next summer i am sure he possibly will be hijack those players from Chelsea and the latest rumours i heard even Bayern will help Tuchel to gets Mason Mount and we all know Mount is important player in Tuchel era while he train Chelsea so it's not impossible if Mount will following Tuchel moved to Bayern

I don't even think so. Mount is not finding a good solution to extend his contract in chelsea. He will be leaving from the club in summer. Joining with tuchel has become the possible thing to happen with him.

Besides want to hijack some of Chelsea players it is reported he was interested to Tottenham player Harry Kane even Tuchel said Kane could be the perfect replacement of Lewandowski and he felt Kane will be success if moved to Bundesliga but seems Bayern have to spend a lot of money to gets Kane because Tottenham won't let Kane leave with cheap price

This rumor has been happening since last transfer season but it's still remain a rumor. There's no real execution for that. Thomas muller is still performing so well in bayern. there's no need to buy kane.

Meanwhile it's better Kante stays in Chelsea and extend his contract he is already 32 his wealth of experience will help the young players in the club just like Tiago Silva, however I don't think Chelsea will give him more than two years contract.

Thiago was 6 years older compared with kante. It's possible for kante to get at 2 years more with chelsea. The problem is chelsea was losing a good midfielder once kante got injured. Glad to see he is coming back again. Seeing him was actively playing with u21 to make sure if he was fully recovered or not makes me believe that he will play against aston villa soon.

I still don't how people can be sure about the performance of Thomas Tuchel in Baern when his team didn't play even one game in the champions league or in Budesliga, we know Tuchel is a good coach and got a shining experience with other teams like Chelsea but hiring him at this time was not a right thing to do because just after he starts his work he will face Dortmund as their main comparator of Bundesliga.

No one can be sure about success of anyone. Someone is just speculating about it by saying so. Tuchel however has experience of managing in Bundesliga as he has managed Dortmund and Mainz earlier. He has also led Chelsea from underdogs of CL to win the CL so I would say he is very experienced and a tactical manager. He can manage well if he has a good team and also can build a good squad. I think he can do well there. It's a big challenge for him now at Bayern with CL and tough spot of Bayern in Bundesliga.

[sana54210]

Tuchel was sacked without any reason by Chelsea. Basically just like what happened with Nagelsmann. So of course, Thomas Tuchel is going to be very determined to prove himself. And that's why he took the chance to coach Bayern Munich so quickly. I personally think that he is going to find success with his new team.

Hmm it seems tuchel was doing revenge by raiding some players owned by chelsea but chelsea is also trying to let so many players go out from stamford bridge in summer. To be honest if judging without even seeing the result from the first match is not my style to be honest but it seems like that tuchel is trying to do transformation in the bayern as well. Tuchel is not feel satisfied with yannn somer who has become the goal keeper of bayern. Tuchel aims to recruit mendy.

I would say that "revenge" would be a weird way to put it. Tuchel liked some of the players he worked with back at Chelsea and wants to get them, and at the same time Chelsea is making a profit from this anyway, not like they are forcing these players out of Chelsea neither, they are just making sure that these players are legibly sold.

This makes Chelsea some money, considering how much they spent and did not achieve anything at all, I am guessing that they are in dire need of selling some players. I still can't believe they are in financial fair play rules considering they spent over half a billion dollars on the team, it's high time they start selling some of them.

if the rumors are true, Messi's options are only two. still have a career in Europe with a smaller salary. go to Arabs as Ronaldo did and of course with a salary that is sufficient or more expensive than his salary at PSG.
but I think Messi will still be in Europe even with a lower salary. I'm sure it doesn't matter to Messi because he was also happy to take a pay cut when he was at Barcelona.
if the club cannot suppress the anger of the fans regarding Messi's whereabouts. the rumor will happen. even though so far, Messi has played professionally in the team. there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that the fans have too high expectations.

The fans demands are very realistic, they hope that PSG with a squad filled with star players can win the Champions League this season. Fans shouldn't corner Messi because of PSG failure in the Champions League, football is not an individual game, there are 11 players involved on the pitch and all of them have an important role in the success/failure of the club.

Rumors of Messi move from PSG circulated even more after he was under pressure due to PSG failure in the Champions League. It is not known exactly where Messi will end up after leaving PSG, Barcelona has always opened the door to welcome Messi, Xavi has also asked Messi to return to Barcelona immediately if the situation at PSG does not make him comfortable. Barcelona unhealthy finances make it difficult for a deal to happen unless Messi is willing to lower his salary to continue his story with Barcelona.

I think he can do well there. It's a big challenge for him now at Bayern with CL and tough spot of Bayern in Bundesliga.

After the sack of Frank Lampard, Tuchel took over Chelsea when the hae just qualified for the second round and he change the team within a short period of time. They played three finals and lost two but won the most prestigious. I think Tuchel is very experience that he could get good results within a short period of time. Bayern might be different from Chelsea, but it is possible to replicate the same performance in his current club.

I would say that "revenge" would be a weird way to put it. Tuchel liked some of the players he worked with back at Chelsea and wants to get them, and at the same time Chelsea is making a profit from this anyway, not like they are forcing these players out of Chelsea neither, they are just making sure that these players are legibly sold.

There so many players in Chelsea that would want to move to Bayern because of Tuchel. The current change of ownership and the poor performance of Chelsea might even spur more players to leave the club. Tuchel is more experienced and technical than Graham Potter, hence most player will like to work under him. There are some players than he helped to improve and most of them will want to join him.

[Captain Corporate]

I am not a football player myself and if I was offered to move from Chelsea to Bayern even I would take that deal. I am pretty sure that unless the deal is much worse, then everyone would agree to that. Obviously, there could be a situation where Chelsea might be paying too much, and Bayern wouldn't, in that case maybe players wouldn't really go to Bayern because they rather make more staying at Chelsea, but if its anything close, then Bayern is %100 better. You would probably be bundesliga winners, probably win the domestic cup, and would probably do well in the champions league all at the same time while being in of the greatest clubs ever.

I can't fathom why people would think that Thomas Tuchel is a better coach than Julian Nagelsmann for Bayern Munich. Well the next several important matches will tell. Both men have different coaching and leadership style. Therefore, I refute the assertion that one is better than the other. Maybe Julian Nagelsmann style may not have worked for Bayern, it will sure work for another team. I am waiting for those who cancel Julian Nagelsmann to also come and cancel Thomas Tuchel if eventually he doesn't win the Champions League.

Al Hilal as Ronaldo's rival club has expressed interest in Lionel Messi, in fact they have prepared a much more fantastic salary than Ronaldo, but the problem is whether Lionel Messi will sacrifice his career in Europe and will join the league. This is still a big question regarding his future career. Neymar also has the potential to leave PSG next season, his injury condition has made PSG management try to find a replacement.

PSG's failure in the Champions League is not entirely to be blamed on Messi, he will not be able to work alone to bring PSG through to the quarterfinals. I don't think it's worth blaming Messi himself for this problem because basically it's a failure of the whole team that can't work together and the coach also contributed to PSG's failure in the Champions League.

Bayern Munich are not alone in wanting Gavi, there are Liverpool and several other clubs interested in him. As time goes by, Bayern Munich who still survive and continue to tempt Barcelona to explain Gavi.
The skill and natural talent that exists in Gavi is no club that is not interested in getting it, but the effort does not seem to be realized easily considering Barcelona is aware that the 18-year-old player is the best asset in the Blaugrana's future project.

As news recently surfaced that Barcelona had registered Pablo Gavi name into the Barcelona academy team.

Gavi and Barcelona already have a very fantastic clause, namely 1 billion EURO, so it is difficult for any team to get this player, plus the rumor is that Barcelona with this clause, so that Gavi does not leave the Barcelona squad, is defending it with a very crazy clause.

What will happen next? The possibility remains that he will still stay for Barcelona even though many other clubs want to bring him in, now maybe he will register for the academy squad again but the fact is that in the next few seasons it will become a diamond player for Barcelona.

It's a good option that can serve as a hedge against the player whose full name is Pablo Martín Páez Gavira, or Gavi as he's known.
In an effort to defend Gavi from the interest of other clubs who want him, we can call this situation looks like a drama and this situation reminds us of Barcelona's process in getting Lewandowski from Bayern Munich amid the craze for Manchester United who want to get Frenkie de Jong.

[snip]

We will await the outcome of the Qatari investors who have made a second bid to buy Manchester United. If that is successful, it is likely that Kane will also be in a Manchester United uniform.

*Fixed the quotes*

Yeah they both have different style of managing. I also think Nagelsmann was doing a decent job but due to ill feeling between him and the board things fell apart in the middle. Tuchel is also a good manager but nowadays manager has very little time to live upto the expectations as it seems. Its a very bad tradition going on nowadays and it has to change. Bayern are not a type of club who changes their manager quickly so I think they didn't liked how Nagelsmann was handling things and perhaps was quite the opposite of the way others inside the board wanted. Sometimes things like this also leads to manager and club parting ways. So I feel its not like Tuchel better than Nagelsmann or Nagelsmann better than Tuchel. It's just that they wanted a change and Tuchel was free so for Bayern it seemed perfect at that point.

[Leviathan.007]

Pablo Gavi has been a very important player and has made much impact in the team this season. I doubt Barcelona will be willing to let him go despite having him removed from the first team and demoted back to youth team. I think Barcelona will want to protect their asset until they can get him to sign a professional deal.

Bayern Munich are not alone in wanting Gavi, there are Liverpool and several other clubs interested in him. As time goes by, Bayern Munich who still survive and continue to tempt Barcelona to explain Gavi.
The skill and natural talent that exists in Gavi is no club that is not interested in getting it, but the effort does not seem to be realized easily considering Barcelona is aware that the 18-year-old player is the best asset in the Blaugrana's future project.

Barcelona had a good financial situation a few months ago and they could easily pay enough salaries to superstar players but recently they got financial problems in their teams and that's the reason for them to sell some players like Gavi, he is still young and he can be a good investment for Barcelona but since they can't pay the salaries to Gavi they have to sell him however I guess Xavi will try to keep this player in the team.

We don't know what will happen in the summer because until now Messi still hasn't extended his contract with PSG, before the world cup started there was news that Messi would break the contract with PSG after the world cup was over but it seems this still hasn't happened even though PSG has trying to persuade Messi to stay at his current club but Messi is still reluctant to stay at PSG.

There have been quite a few rumors going around with Messi lowering his salary so he could return to Barcelona but in my opinion it's not sure if Messi returns to his old club.

Messi's father has met with the height of this Arab club as well as the rumors in the news but it is still unclear what will happen later, will the two star class players be in the Arab league? Still a mystery.

[emrecemsan]

Manchester United are interested in another centre-forward who is Kolo Muani according to the news. However I don't think he would be their priority. He has been one of the skilled youngsters as it seems and he has been impressive in the recent times. Because he isn't only a scorer. He is very helpful for his teammates with his assists as well. It isn't easy to find a centre-forward like this these days. However like I said I still don't think Manchester United would prioritize him for their striker target.

There are top strikers who might be signed in the summer like Harry Kane, Victor Osimhen and more like these strikers. These players should be on their radar first.
