⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Plaguedeath]

Yeah, there are reports that Arsenal is eyeing a move for Brahim Diaz. He’s has impressed on a two-year loan spell with AC Milan, and leading to the desire to sign him permanently, but Arteta seems to be an admirer. He’s a kind of Odegaard-type of player and he suits the Arsenal’s style of play. With the way he’s improved over the years in Ac Milan, I doubt if Real Madrid would allow him leave. Brahim is still in the early stages of his playing career, and there is scope for him to be a valuable asset to Real Madrid over the next few seasons. His performances in Italy have given him the right to prove his worth.

Brahim Diaz doesn't that good when he was in Real Madrid, although he's the only one young player which can play as attacking midfielder position in Real Madrid, but Ancelotti never use a diamond strategy where they will play with defensive and attacking midfielder. Ancelotti always play with a balance strategy aka 4-3-3, so they're no need to keep Diaz. Real Madrid already have Camavinga and Tchouameni, so I think Diaz will join Arsenal.

Newcastle already have some targets in their list now as it seems. In addition to Declan Rice they have other targets like James Maddison and Ivan Toney also.

Newcastle may not able to get rice from westham. it's likely that if rice will be joining with arsenal. Liverpool is also in competition to get rice as well but it seems for me that if declan rice is favoring arsenal for his next club. Remember the moment when rice was asking for odegaard's signature.
It can be a signal that rice is interesting to join in arsenal. It's likely that newcastle has no place on his choice. It will be between liverpool or arsenal.

I think that arsenal has bigger chance to get him from totenham.

football.london reported back in January that Arsenal are prioritising a move for Rice this summer as they look to bolster Mikel Arteta's midfield options. The England international will have just a year left on his current deal at West Ham when the transfer window opens ahead of next season and could fetch a fee in the region of £100 million.

It doesn't look like their job will be easy with signing Rice according to my thinking. Because he is monitored by Arsenal also. If they also make an offer to sign Rice then I think they would be one step ahead of Newcastle. I know Newcastle are richer than them now. But as long as they don't spend much more money I don't expect Rice to sign for Newcastle instead. As for Maddison he can also be targeted by some other big teams also. But maybe Newcastle would have the biggest chance for Toney.

Arsenal is one step ahead of liverpool and newcastle. Newcastle has unlimited money. It will be so easy for this club to get an alternative for him. It seems like the dream from newcastle to bring trio england will not come true.
Eddie howe must try to search for an alternative player to replace declan rice if he will be choosing arsenal or liverpool.

lukaku future is uncertain, Inter don't want to make him stay there longer besides that Chelsea also don't want to receive lukaku back, Chelsea emphatically said they prefer to join the hunt for Vlahovic than receive lukaku back
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11980529/Romelu-Lukaku-return-Chelsea-AGAINST-end-season.html

Actually, Lukaku is a good striker but he chooses the wrong team. He ever played well in Inter Milan but it was a mistake that he ever decided to come back to Chelsea. During this season, he couldn't play at his best form anymore, so it makes Inter excluded him from their plan for the next season. It was very unlucky for Lukaku, he may need more time to play again at his best form. I don't know why Inter seems too hurry to exclude Lukaku. Inter should be wiser to give him time to stay, he can be a substitute striker at least.

Lukaku might not agree to a situation of being used as a substitute at Inter Milan, because he needed a regular playing time being the main striker of Belgium National team thus he may decide to sign a contract with a new club where a regular playing time will be guaranteed, however this is subject to Chelsea decision to reduce his huge transfer fee or request for another loan offer which I believe is not feasible if Boehly decide to overhaul the whole squad that means a lot of their players will be sold or release meanwhile Lukaku is a very good striker and consistent in goal scoring if he is in-form and signing for a new club wouldn't be too hard or difficult for him provided that he would accept a pay cut.

But maybe Newcastle would have the biggest chance for Toney.

This is Eddie Howie plan for next season that he want Newcastle filled with world class players more than now and that's why he was targetting these players for this summer especially if Newcastle can able to managed their performance until end of this season and playing at champion league i am sure they will be required more players into their squad

Maddison is their previous target because last summer Newcastle has been bid this player 50 millions and Leicester has been refused that offers and Maddison stayed at Leicester but the current situation will be different because reported Maddison has refuse contract extension which is offering by Leicester so this summer he more likely will leave Leicester especially if Leicester to be relegated i am sure he doesn't want to playing at championship division

And for Ivan Toney he actually Newcastle former player but indeed since joining with Brentford Toney has reach to his top performance with scores 18 goals in premier league until week 31 but the speculation about his future still uncertain and probably Bentfrod won't let him easily to leave and Declan Rice could be Newcastle the most expensive recruitment this summer because his price not less than 100 millions but it's hard to gets him because he is into radar to several big teams

Todd Boehly received backlash by Chelsea's fans? who cares.
Todd Boehly comes to Chelsea's changing room, criticized Lampard and the players? who cares.

The most important thing Chelsea is have been sign Kendry Paez aka 15 years old player, Chelsea have spent 20 Million Euros for this kid and he will join in the next 2 years! Another career destroy have been successfully done by Chelsea

That doesn't really mean that he will be gone or something like that, Real Madrid spent like 60 million on a brazillian kid that will come in 2-3 seasons as well, if you really think that there is a star potential in a player, you end up buying that player early on so that nobody else can buy him.

If you played Football Manager ever, kids in those nations that you can't get right away are a priority because other teams will move before you do and you need to buy them before they can even come to your club. That way they keep on growing there, and you end up getting them to play in your club when they are old enough to get there and already have some experience playing against other grown men in their own league as well, I think it's a good job.

[Lordhermes]

Todd Boehly is receiving a lot of backlash from the fans and I just wonder who Chelsea will have to settle for to take charge in managerial role at the end of the season since Frank Lampard who was deem to help take the team up the league with the few games left to play has failed to make an impact or change the current situation, he has already lost three in their past three games which is even worse than it was with Graham Potter.

It's been a disaster, let's be honest. Todd Boehly has made Chelsea significantly worse since taking over from Roman Abramovich. The club was already stable. He de-stabilised it. He bought some more players, and fired Tuchel 6 days after the transfer window closed. Honestly this is unheard of in world football. Just because you spend big money on players doesn't mean they are going to turn out to be good. So many flops. He's made a mess of it, should never of sacked so many of the people behind the scenes so quick. Now Chelsea have to find form and collect enough points in their remaining games so they don’t fall into the red zone.

IMO, Todd Boehly thought he understood football. let's flashback, every player the big clubs are after. Todd Boehly always appears in the hunt for these players. unmitigated, he dared to pay a high price for a player who might not be able to play well with his new team. one example, Mudry, one of the players who failed at a very fantastic price.
IMO, the only purchase that can be called a success is Enzo Fernandez, even if the price is too crazy. for the purchase of other players, underperform. except, Felix because he is a loan player. but its performance, quite good when compared to other players.

Well, what I think is the fatal part is the technical director or whatever the name is, it could also be easier to understand we call Chelsea management. I don't understand whether Chelsea's technical director doesn't understand football either, I think one of those who played a role in making Chelsea the situation it is today. for Potter, it wasn't really his fault. Potter arrived at a time when Chelsea's situation was no better. he was appointed to occupy the coaching hot seat, unfortunately, he did not have experience managing a team as big as Chelsea. Well, currently there are two candidates who are predicted to become Chelsea coaches. for me, both Nagelsmann and Enrique are equally good. however, if what is demanded is experience. Obviously, Luis Enriqae is more deserving of the Chelsea coaching hot seat.

i think the players are not the issue, but Toddy Boehly buying players he thinks is best for the club for market and sponsorship sake. toddy boehly is a bussiness man not a football lover, this is the first time he is involving in sport business he doesnt understand the do and don't of football. Chelsea will suffer more . under his leadership , i think he has to let expert to manage the club for him then he should watch from behind, if he involve actively in the day to day activities of the club things will continue to fall apart. he has spent so much for the club. he should hire an experienced coach to manage these talented players. chelsea will bounce back again next season they have the players but they lack good coach to bring out their potentials.

Potter was superb at Brighton but he came to Chelsea and became ass.

Potter is a good coach, no doubt about that, but he is also an average coach and the success that Brighton recorded while he was still there was not just because he was a good coach, it was also because the players in the club a very good and technically sound that is why even after he left them they did not start losing games but currently in the Premier League I still in a very good position. Chelsea needs an experienced coach that is not average.

Brighton performance while Potter was still in charge was completely unexpected, they managed to make a surprise because they were among the elite clubs in the top four. I think Potter made a mistake when he accepted the proposal from Chelsea, he left an in-form Brighton to become coach of a bigger team.

At Chelsea he was not able to do much, Potter was only able to win seven wins from 22 premier league matches during his seven months as coach, he was finally fired because he failed to boost Chelsea performance. Chelsea was too hasty to make a decision, they should look for a competent coach to improve the quality of the team.

[Minecache]

Rumors spread that Vincent Kompany is on the list wanted by Chelsea to be the next manager at this club besides names that have already been linked with Chelsea such as the former Bayern Munich coach and former Tottenham Hotspurs coach Pochettino. It seems that Boehly was impressed with Kompany after what he did for Burnley who will return to playing in the English Premier League next season, but it is possible that Kompany will not be interested in Chelsea because even though Chelsea already have a lot of good player material, uniting them into a strong team will be more difficult.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22061762/chelsea-vincent-kompany-burnley-new-manager/

Chelsea's situation is now pretty comical, lol, they are linked with how many managers, 3, 4, i have even lost count, the team has no direction right now, they are playing like they have no manager. Lampard had a horrendous record at Everton and to imagine that Boehly thought him to be the perfect caretaker manager to handle Chelsea until the end of the season shows how clueless an owner he is, i already knew he was clueless about football when he took over, but his decisions since then has proven it beyond all reasonable doubt.
Having said that, Kompany is definitely going nowhere, he would remain in Burnley for at least another season or two, they are back to the EPL and he is going to be their manager next season, we'd see how good he does as a manager in the EPL, he has conquered the Championship, so the expectation on him is pretty high, if he does well for a season or two then maybe bigger clubs would come for him.

I feel really dumb talking about the manager situation of Chelsea right now. I seriously do not believe that it is worth the time or the effort at all. But at the same time, I really appreciate that Chelsea are actually trying out all the options that are available to them. This is a good way to approach things in my opinion. They should look for all the options available and choose the best.

But the problem is no one knows, if the one who Chelsea chooses will actually be interested in Chelsea. However, Chelsea will choose next, is going to have to meet high expectations from that Chelsea fans.

Chelsea needs an experienced coach that is not average.

I disagree to this! Thomas Tuchel was sacked as head coach of Chelsea but then what happened? Are those player's not technically sound? Kai Harvert, Recce James, Thiago Silva not calculative? Yet they fumbled still with Graham Potter.
It has to do with who is in charge, take a good look good at Manchester United, of all things considered by the past coaches of Manchester United since Sir Alex Ferguson resigned, Ten Hag has done better in all ramifications now they still seat on the Premier League table and occupies third position.

Graham Potter is a coach for the under dogs, besides he carried Brighton to them best position in the Premier League,which is ten position. Mikel Arteta found it difficult to win against Brighton not until he left Brighton, Arteta got to win against Brighton.

[Sterbens]

Brahim Diaz is reportedly become Arsenal target in the transfer market next summer. On the other hand, Pioli made a statement that he wanted to keep Diaz if possible. Diaz may not be able to return to Madrid because it will make him lose his place to become a main player there, at Milan he has this opportunity, but his status is still unclear with Milan because there is no offer of a contract extension for Diaz after he was on loan for 3 seasons so far.

The latest news is circulating, that Diaz will be asked to return by Real Madrid and then will be sold to another club, if this happens then Milan will be weak because they have lost a midfielder who has this important role. So far the Rossoneri say they are negotiating with Real Madrid to secure the player of Moroccan - Spanish blood. However, on the other hand, Milan's plans are now under threat, because it is reported that Arsenal is ready to pay the player a fairly high nominal, namely 25 million euros. The same price has actually been offered by Real Madrid for Milan, but the Rossoneri have still not given an answer regarding this offer, and finally, Milan also made a statement that this nominal is not friendly to Milan's current financial situation.

As I said from the start, that what is happening to Chelsea today cannot be separated from the role of Toddy Boehly. including, the technical director under his leadership. as you said, they are businessmen, Toddy Boehly succeeded in America there with his style like this. however, this cannot be applied in football. Todd's fatal mistake, always interfering in every newcomer brought in. As a result, every player that Chelsea is after, the price soars to be very fantastic.

On the other hand, Potter is a pawn, he occupied the hot seat coaching Chelsea after Tuchel was dethroned. however, the fans always blame him. reasonable, because he has no experience managing a club as big as the Blues. fatally, trouble in the locker room. just imagine, there are 11 forwards that Chelsea have. apart from that, there are many other players, they have 12 midfielders. When all of this is gathered in the locker room, let's imagine what's going on in there. while Kai Havertz, who was entrusted with more trust, became the main starter, unable to finish his job properly. that is, inside the players there is turmoil that occurs. I don't know, I'm not sure for sure. but what is certain, every player has the desire to become a main starter to become a core player. let's see, during the match vs Real Madrid last night. what Chelsea showed, like a mid-range team. they play without a clear scheme, shooting here and there. however, never produced a goal.

Anyway, on the whole I agree with you. well, regarding the coach, it seems that Chelsea must have an experienced coach and it seems that Luis Enrique is qualified for that.

After the news had spread that Harry Kane was rumored to be an important part of the Manchester United project next season. Now another competitor is coming and that comes from PSG who are also interested in signing Harry Kane for the summer. In fact, at this time PSG do not have a pure striker and that place is sometimes filled by Kylian Mbappe. But Mbappe, whose initial position is on the left winger, will certainly be much more comfortable there. But the decision still rests with Harry Kane, if he still wants to stay at Spurs, it will be difficult for other teams to sign him.

But the decision still rests with Harry Kane, if he still wants to stay at Spurs, it will be difficult for other teams to sign him.

It's a way for manchester united to waste the club's money. The rumor about kane being linked to the manchester united already appeared since winter transfer season but MU never made any clariffication regarding such rumor.

I would like to mention this

Harry Kane does not want to leave Tottenham Hotspur for Bayern Munich, a report has revealed, but a move to Man Utd might still be on the cards.

https://www.teamtalk.com/tottenham-hotspur/harry-kane-no-interest-move-tottenham-most-likely-trophy-winners-man-utd-increase-pressure

That means MU has more chance to get him but im not sure if he will become a good buy for manchester united. Totenham was asking for 88 which is very big price for an old guy like him. It's likely harry kane is still wanna stay in EPL even longer.
he may be rejecting any offer that came from the different league.

Will mu pay 88 million for him in summer?

[Spack17]

If PSG really intervene and try to sign Harry Kane then things can get very interesting. Because not only Manchester United but also Bayern Munich are speculated with signing Kane this summer. If we see these three teams fighting for signing him then technically PSG - Bayern Munich might be one step ahead. Because both of them are better teams than Manchester United considering they are both getting close to the championship in their leagues.

However maybe there is another option for Kane like staying in England instead. If he prioritizes offers coming from the country he lives in then Manchester United would be the number one candidate to sign him. Because I don't see any other English Premier League club planning to make an offer for him. Manchester United had better hope that this happens.

Apart from that I wonder how much Tottenham will resist about not selling him as well.

[Freeveto]

And the more important problem is that you need to find an outstanding coach who is willing to manage a team that does not play Champions League. That is a huge issue for Chelsea. I read that Nagelsmann was already there, but in Nagelsmann's case it makes more sense to wait and see if another Champions League club wants him. It could be Real Madrid, it could be Barcelona, the incentive to sign a contract with Chelsea right now is not that high unless the salary is unprecedented.

Chelsea Job needs a Manager who does not believe or depends on their past history, or be treathened by their current poor situation, or reject it because they didn't qualify for next season's Uefa champions / Europa League. All they need is a Manager who will focus on the club goals, that will try his possible best to bring back the club to its position, although it looks difficult on this time because many managers will be scared of their club and fans high expectations. Looking at the club current situation, it need both players and other technical coaches to sit up and put in their best in the coming season to enable the team meet their goals.

Chelsea needs an experienced coach that is not average.

How Potter can be a good coach, he is the reason why Chslea failed in the champions league even after he left and he is the reason for the current position of Chelsea in the premier league he also got no achievements in the team he was coaching expert for Östersund, he definitely can't be a good option for any team doesn't matter if we are talking about Brighton or Chelsea.

[Awaklara]

If PSG really intervene and try to sign Harry Kane then things can get very interesting.

even now PSG is also rumored to be interested in Roma coach, Jose Mourinho. It seems that PSG's ambitions this season have failed a lot. and they're going to make quite a few changes to the team. After all, there are many opportunities that can be achieved by a rich team. but it's a shame this season PSG has also failed to win the Champions League. owners and fans are quite disappointed with the results PSG has shown this season.

manchester united and fc liverpool have reportedly overtaken arsenal london in the race for brighton's argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. who will win the race for the world champion and how much the transfer fee will be remains exciting

[Huppercase]

i think the players are not the issue, but Toddy Boehly buying players he thinks is best for the club for market and sponsorship sake. toddy boehly is a bussiness man not a football lover, this is the first time he is involving in sport business he doesnt understand the do and don't of football.

The mistakes made by Chelsea cannot be attributed to Boely or the players. Prior to Tuchel's dismissal, he successfully used the same players to win many games and only lose a few. However, when Potter took over, he made some adjustments in the midfield which proved to be a great move. The new players that were introduced were all highly qualified, but the pressure was intense as they were losing EPL match back to back and UCL was on the doubting shape, and the fans were expecting immediate results.

In my opinion, the club should have allowed Potter to continue his job until the end of the season. Instead, they sacked him and brought in Lampard, which resulted in a worse losing streak. It is important for Chelsea to find a replacement and give them sufficient time to make improvements.

[masulum]

-snip-
Milan also made a statement that this nominal is not friendly to Milan's current financial situation.

I think this is a trick done by Milan to get a lower price. It's normal for AC Milan to always try to have players with pretty good quality but with low price offers. Milan should still be willing to pay Diaz 25 million euros, but if they can get a lower price, of course it will be fun for Milan. But, since Arsenal also want to bring him in, with current condition, this can be challengging for Milan.
