⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Google+]

So far it does not seem like Messi is actually very interested in the 400 million he has been offered. The priority for Messi right now is European competition. But if I was Messi, which I certainly ain't  , I would have gone for the money. He already has achieved everything there is to achieve in football. So let's just have another rivalry with his biggest rival again. And of course let's not forget that it doesn't matter how much money a person has, 400 million is still a lot of money. There are a lot of countries in the world who couldn't afford that much money. The smart decision is going for the money.

But I believe he is in talks with Barcelona right now. If that doesn't work out, he is surely taking the money.

messi family expects messi to return to barcelona but yes barcelona must be able to adjust the salary for lionel messi.  I think if he was an alien he would definitely refuse the crazy offer from Al-Hilal because this is the salary that football players really want in their old age, even though they already have everything for their life.

for now the main consideration in messi mind is the family invitation to return to barcelona and barcelona management have also made it clear they want to repatriate messi to Camp Nou.

BREAKING: Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal have sent out a bid of €400 million/year for the greatest player of all time, Lionel Messi.

Messi's priority right now is to stay in Europe. Barcelona are waiting on FFP issues before sending out a contract offer for Messi.




With Messi coming to the Arab League, this is very interesting, many are looking forward to them, Ronaldo vs Messi will compete again.

Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal are very serious about bringing Lionel Messi to Saudi league, where Cristiano Ronaldo is already scoring goals and making history but I think this wouldn't go easy and his boyhood club Barcelona are also in talks to bring the star player back to Camp Nou next season. Lionel Messi x Ronaldo both playing in t the league further expose the league and create more competition, I will also love to see the move happen.

I'm surprised Zidane still isn't keen on facing a big club in the Premier League, and if it's Chelsea he's in charge, we can at least see a good game. Despite Zidane's disinterest, I think he prefers to remain silent. Ancelotti is still comfortable at Real Madrid and his contract is still long. Graham Potter is gone for us to mention, maybe the coach option Todd Boehly wants is someone he can control. It's not like when Tuchel was there but seeing Todd Boehly's selection of Potter should be a lesson that the results are always abysmal.

Looks like Zidane does not have interest in managing any team in English Premier league, if he had interest many clubs would have come rushing with good offers to get his signature but since he left Real Madrid we are yet to hear any rumour or official statement of a preferred destination to resume his coaching career.

Your right, I don't think Zidane wants to manage any English team otherwise he would have been a good replacement for so many coaches that have been sacked in EPL teams since the beginning of the season. It's been rumoured that PSG were going to secure his signature but after all we didn't get to see that happen even when Bayern Munich coach was sacked many people that that Zidane will be hired but that didn't also happen with this I think the next move if Zidane is not known yet and it is only him that has the decision to make when he's ready.

This means he was offered twice as much as Ronaldo before.
It's really quite crazy for the Arab league right now, if this works then it's another burn of money for them but indeed in this case there are other advantages of course so indeed they won't regret offering that price. Now it remains to see whether PSG and Messi will budge at this price or not.

When looking at his initial goal, it seems that he is still a little obsessed with being the coach of the French national team but this is still a little complicated because Deschamps is still quite difficult to replace.
On the other hand, when you look at the club's offer for this coach, it is clear that there are not a few who want it, not only Chelsea, but even PSG have also been rejected several times and he didn't really like being rumored for several clubs last season.
He was still enjoying his life now without doing any work and that was the decision he chose.

Since Messi is getting old, many people expect him to return to Barcelona where he started his career, and finish it as a legend of this team because he is getting older. However, if he joins Barcelona, he will not be able to get a good salary because of the financial situation in Barcelona, while if he joins Asian teams like Ronaldo, he will be able to earn much more money. It is up to him whether he wants to earn more money or play for the team he loves most.

Inter Miami are thinking of some other formula to be able to convince Messi to play for them as of this summer. However I still don't expect Messi to prefer them over PSG yet. Their priority should still be Europe and he would like to hear from Barcelona first as well. If there isn't anything new from their side then I just expect him to play for PSG one more season.

He would try to go for the Champions League title with this PSG one last time I assume. But I think he will still leave after that no matter he achieves the title or not.

I don't think Zidane will actually take up the job of Chelsea manager. After all, the team is not in a good situation. The players are not motivated at all. It is a risky job right now to take. Of course, the risk is going to mean that the reward is also going to be big if succeeded.

One thing can be done, bring Zidane and give him a huge amount of money to work with. That is surely going to have some success. Nagelsmann is a decent option. But I don't know if he can actually get far with this team. He will also probably end up getting Chelsea somehow in the top six.

Between Nagelsmann and Pochettino I think Nagelsmann is the most preferred choice for Chelsea, Pochettino has not had an impressive stat is the past few years having been sacked twice at Tottenham and Paris Saint German but Nagelsmann was having a good run this season having carried Bayern Munich through an unbeaten run to the quarter finals of the Champions league and in a good position in the league it was just unfortunate that he had to part ways due to some misunderstandings amongst his coaching staff and cause lots of tension so I think Nagelsmann is the best choice.

I suggest that Chelsea should ensure they have their time to scrutinize the market and to come out with a better decisions over which manager takes over Chelsea,  in the person that will be able to hit the ground running immediately after he's given the job opportunity and to try getting Chelsea out of this whole mess. As for me they should be in contact with Zinedine Zidane to know if he will be able to take charge of the Blues team because I see him more suitable to the job and Chelsea's current situation. but in his absence, Nagelsmann looks to me, a more better option than Pochettino.

Messi agreed to cut his salary but the decision was on barcelona. Barcelona needs to deal with FFP first before the club will able to bring messi back again to the its former club before he was moving to the PSG. Messi is very enthusiast to go back again to the barcelona. Barcelona can get him back again easily as messi already refused to extending his contract with paris saint german. The only problem is whether barcelona is still having capability to pay him or not.
We have seen that how barcelona owe the salary for some of its players in the past. messi didn't wanna see that happened again with him. He didn't wanna play for free.

for now the main consideration in messi mind is the family invitation to return to barcelona and barcelona management have also made it clear they want to repatriate messi to Camp Nou.

Messi has no choice other than waiting for the barcelona to get money again. Barcelona must take a step by selling some of its players caused by it doesn't have good source anymore to get money. The financial clever that already taken by barcelona was just giving long term impact to the club.
Messi is also feeling so frustated in PSG and he wanna go out from there as soon as possible. So many legends were also suggesting the same thing for him move away from PSG.

It is a crazy offer from Al-Hilal. I think Messi can change his mind, he may consider moving to Saudi with this big offer. It is not bad to move to Saudi Pro League, he is getting old and will be harder to compete in Europa leagues. What he focus may be to enjoy his career befoe he retires in the next few years.

Sure, it is very interesting if Messi wants to join Al Hilal. He will compete with Ronaldo again. Once again we will see a great competition between two legends.

Assuming Frank Lampard's talents to integrate into the system are enhanced, I don't think it's good news for the Blues or their supporters. Frank Lampard returning to the club as an interim manager to oversee the team for the remainder of the season is definitely not a good idea, in my opinion, according to Todd Boehly. Due to Frank's lack of expertise managing elite teams like the Blues, Chelsea has a higher risk of obtaining substandard league points. He previously visited as a player before returning as manager before being fired by Roman Arkadyevich Abramovich, the previous owner of Chelsea.

This is a piece of fantastic news from the old player, we know since Ronaldo goes to Arab, many speculation news about the old player who will follow him. And Messi is one because when we compared him with Ronaldo, Messi is a player who is suitable for him. If this happens, Messi is one player who has the highest salary in the world, I heard an Issue, al Hilal will pay him 2x from Ronaldo's salary. So, Messi hasn't thought more, let's sign the contract ASAP before too late.

Quite impossible for Lampard to return to Chelsea even though when he was there Chelsea was not as bad as when Potter was their coach, Chelsea was still with a PPG (Point Per Game) of 1.67 but fell very far when Potter coached which was only 1.27 and it was bad they replaced Tuchel who was even far above Potter with PPG 1.94. Tuchel was sacked without good reason and Todd Boehly paid the price for his stupid decision.
Huge sums of money have been spent without good results and with sizable sums at the expense of players they may become the target of investigations for the use of such large sums, because the club must follow the rules in the use of their finances.

The purported second return of Lampard to Chelsea as an Interim manager till the end of this season a done deal, probably Chelsea owner Boehly wanted to toe the line of Arsenal who is presently being managed by Arteta an ex player of the club and currently doing a brilliant job for the gunners, I think if the owner sees an instant impact and turning around of Chelsea by Lampard in the remaining period this season, Boehly may permanently sign him to continue with rebuilding of Chelsea, of course Lampard has a chance to prove himself with their upcoming matches against Wolves this weekend and the crucial Champion league quarter finals against Real Madrid next week.

The end of Graham Potter isn't really the end of them moanings, lamentations and agony this season, with Frank Lampard who is no different from Graham Potter I expect almost same results and position. Frank Lampard had it difficult to raise Everton out of relegation do you also expect so much from him when he eventually handles Chelsea ?

I have come to agreements here with you, I expect to see Chelsea down below but not as low as relegation. Todd Boehly already paid off Graham Potter hugely, he would not want to repeat same shit next season, I hope within the next two months he makes good decision on who will impact in Chelsea and the talented player's available.

Looks like Zidane does not have interest in managing any team in English Premier league, if he had interest many clubs would have come rushing with good offers to get his signature but since he left Real Madrid we are yet to hear any rumour or official statement of a preferred destination to resume his coaching career.

Zidane has other plans apparently. Since he will not be the manager of the French national football team for the next years, he should postulate in a top team and he will be picked for sure. Bayern would be interested before signing Tuchel. PSG would pick him. Barely all Italian teams will be interested for sure. Chelsea or Spurs are lacking good management...and the list could be even bigger.

In last few years Zidane is one of the most wanted coach in UEFA, but his desire is clear he wants to become France National team coach and have no intention to be having post of coach for any big club even many are still trying their best for hiring him he is not positive which is clearly indicating he is still hopeful for his desire.

Bayern Munich was looking for him but after his refusal now Thomas Tuchel is already taken this spot now Chelsea management is also looking for the new coach and many media houses spotted his name, but he is not having any intention about this with in coming summer we will have too many spots available for him with this all how outcome will be nothing is clear because he is now looking for national team job which is not coming in near future.

I hear rumors about Carlo Ancelotti leaving Real Madrid after the end of the season and becoming coach of the Brazilian national team. This would be a terrific end of Ancelotti's glorious career, even thought I doubt that Brazil could win the world cup in 2026 with Ancelotti as a coach.
Zinedin Zidane would never work in the Premier League due to the language. AFAIK, he doesn't know English that well.
Zidane would be a great choice for PSG, replacing Christophe Galtier. Galtier isn't doing a great job right now.
I really doubt that Didier Deschamps would be fired by the French football federation anytime soon.

Messi is not yet thinking to retire from the professional league. he wanna try to go back again to la liga as he feels that la liga is always become the best place for him. Messi's father already confirmed that if messi is still wanna playing in europe too. Al hilal has been offering him very big amounts of money. Messi will able to receive more than 1 million USD everyday once he will be joining in al hilal but it seems like that if this will be dilema for him. Messi can still have the intention to play in europe but the problem is if messi will not also able to get the same offer again.
Messi will be old and he will never play football. It will be better for him to enjoy his life when it will become even older than this time. Money is not everything but everything needs money this time.

I can imagine how big money will be received by messi if he will agree to join al hilal. If barcelona is still struggling with FFP until next transfer season and i think that the chance for messi to go to the barcelona is very small.

Brazil can win the world cup with Ancelotti, they have the players already, all they need is just a perfect coach to complement and manage the team. Ancelotti can do that job and considering how successful he is in Real Madrid, a new challenge will be good for him. Brazil can win the next world cup.

Zinedin Zidane would never work in the Premier League due to the language. AFAIK, he doesn't know English that well.
Zidane would be a great choice for PSG, replacing Christophe Galtier. Galtier isn't doing a great job right now.

Zidane for PSG will be good, PSG is such a terrible team even with the world class players they have.

I really doubt that Didier Deschamps would be fired by the French football federation anytime soon.  

Deschamps is a really great coach, he has reformed the French tema and taken them far into competitions, there is definitely no need to fire him.
