⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Another good news for Barcelona they signed Inigo Martinez for free.
https://theathletic.com/4664977/2023/07/05/barcelona-transfer-news-inigo-martinez/
Contract until 2025. Martinez is 32 years old and his 3-year contract means that Barcelona believes in the player's potential to play another 3 years at the highest level.
Also, Barcelona, as usual, put a huge amount of 400 million euros for the player, to block a possible transfer in the future.
Reliable and experienced defender will not hurt the team, the fact that last year Athletic Bilbao wanted 50 million euros for the player, but Barcelona preferred to wait and get the player for free. 

Barcelona seems very fond of getting players who are free agents and maybe it's as a way to avoid spending for the club. After getting Ilkay Gundogan for free, now it's Inigo Martinez's turn and the clause fee is the same as Gundogan's of 400 million euros. I don't understand how Barcelona owners think to keep their old players with that many clauses and moreover they get them for free, very strange for a club as big as Barcelona but looks like begging for money at the cost of these clauses. Apart from that, I think this can be a good addition to the squad for next season especially to be able to compete with other teams in all competitions.

Saudi Pro League was not even a topic of discussion even a year ago, but the Saudi League has become a topic of discussion since the beginning of this year when Portugal player  cristiano ronaldo joined the Saudi Pro League. Karim Benzema has joined Saudi Arabia on a three-year deal. The popularity of the Saudi Pro League has increased many folds as some of these popular players have joined the Saudi Pro League. Even if they are not number 5 in the world, the quality of their game will increase many times. Saudi Arabia has a lot of money, in exchange for this money, they will try to bring good European players to their team. If these good players are added to their team, their playing conditions will be much better.

Cristiano Ronaldo's influence is enormous and also the Saudi Arabian team wants to pay player salaries very high so that now many players want to go there and this is one of their ways to make the Saudi Arabian League known to world football lovers.
However, a few years ago the Chinese team also did this, but it was very difficult for them to be able to bring in good players (mega star players) who were in top performance, maybe they would only get old players, as they had happening now.

New news from Romano today.
Carlo Ancelotti has now officially become the coach of Brazil in the summer and will now only have 1 more season left with Real Madrid to finish his contract...

I'll use your post to add something:

Yesterday it was reported in the Brazilian newspapers that the Brazilian national team will hire the current Fluminense coach, Fernando Diniz, as interim coach of Brazil, with a 1-year contract until Ancelotti arrives.
The coach will have a curious position, where he will coach Fluminese's team and the Brazilian national team.

This wait for Ancelotti has been criticized by most Brazilians, fans and the media, as they find it absurd to wait so long to start a job.

Two doubts remain in the air:

1 - If the coach Fernando Diniz gets great results, can he not screw the future contract of Ancelotti? Since Real Madrid itself does not seem so happy to see the departure of its coach

2 - Could Ancelotti talk to the Brazil coach, even being in Real Madrid, to start a work "at distance", where he can ask them to start working the way he prefers?

Since nassr signed ronaldo with fantastic salary and so many media started to pay attention to the saudi pro league. It was also making the league got massive publications. The saudi clubs were not even stopping. It keeps adding more and more EU players come to the league. This is also triggering so many eyes to put their attention tot he saudi league. That being said that if the popularity from SPL becomes even bigger now.
I think that with so many new players come to the SPL gonna add so many fans from european league as well. I meant remember that if any superstar is always having their own loyal fans.
It's same like when ronaldo being announced by al nassr. That was pushing social media of al nassr.

Mason Mount has just officially joined and he is immediately given full confidence to become a player whose task is not easy.

That jersey number is given to special players with a big talent and Mason Mount doesn't just fit the profile!!
And coming from a rival club only to be given this jersey..no ways!!! If there is a player that can where this at the moment it has to be the likes of Alejandro Garnacho but then again am not sure if his ready for the weight it carries

[gabbie2010]

Mason Mount has just officially joined and he is immediately given full confidence to become a player whose task is not easy. While there were rumors previously that the jersey number would be given to Garnacho by Erik Ten Hag, in the end it was very unexpected that Mason Mount was chosen to wear the number 7 shirt. Maybe Mason Mount is more experienced than Garnacho whose age is still not suitable for carrying this heavy burden. It's just that in my opinion number 7 is very mystical and not all players are suitable for wearing that number shirt.

So do you think Mount can show that the trust placed in him is the right decision or is it the other way around?

I didn't know he received shirt number 7 till I just read your post. Only the club's brightest players are given the number 7, and the majority of them go on to become club legends. Ever since Eric Cantona made the number 7 an iconic number, eyes have been fixed on it. David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo also accomplished legendary feats while wearing the number 7. It is not a good idea to bring in a new player and put too much pressure on him to replicate icons because this could make the player perform poorly under pressure. Before giving him the number 7, they could have waited at least a season, when he would have been more comfortable.

Mount is a very good player and he could pull it off and become an outstanding player and I won’t be suprised if he does but i wish they had given garnacho or waited for a while before giving him the number because to whom much is given much is expected.

According to some news report part of the agreement of Erik ten Hag with with Mason Mount was that he will wear the No 7 jersey during the meeting between the duo, I think that option also attracted Mount to accept the contract agreement, though Garnacho might have been promised to wear the No 7 jersey I think it's too early to offer him because he hasn't got the experience yet compared with Mason Mount who is an experience and well established player in Chelsea and had some good experience with the English National team, meanwhile Mason Mount is a good attacking midfielder with an ability to play in advance position thus will create opportunities for Man Utd striker to score goals.

[lizarder]

Mount last season with Chelsea was not so good. in fact he only made 3 goals in one season in the Premier League. We know Chelsea last season was in poor form, but we don't know how he will develop at MU.
wasn't expecting too much, but the Mount might have been a good buy, it might have been the other way around. but hopefully, Mount really becomes the complement that Ten Hag hopes to adapt quickly to the strategy and players at MU.

Mason Mount's performance last season with Chelsea was not good and did not develop much, although some people think the coach cannot maximize players, so Mason Mount's assessment is too fast for now and needs to be proven next season. However a number of football observers considered that Man United's purchase of Mason Mount was too expensive. Mason Mount must prove to everyone that his presence in Erik Ten Hak's squad can provide positive value for the team next season.

Although it is not easy to do and Mason Mount must be able to adapt quickly and Erik Ten Hak can help him in the next season, because Erik Ten Hak previously also managed to get Marcus Rashford back to find his best form under his tutelage and I'm sure Mason Mount will develop under Erik Ten Hak next season.

Pochettino already has the experience of coaching Premier League teams, but with Chelsea's current condition, of course, it makes Pochettino a little difficult and it takes a little time for him to improve Chelsea's performance again, the Chelsea team must be ready to process if they want to get up, not like what they did in the last season when sacking and changing many coaches.

Chelsea will certainly be ready to proceed with their new coach next season, because Chelsea and Pochettino know that the team was not in good condition last season. So there is no other choice but to go through a process to be able to improve their performance next season with the direction of their new coach and I'm sure Chelsea will be able to improve slowly.

With Pochettino having agreed to become the new Chelsea coach, I think he knows what's going on with this club and maybe he's ready to work out some of the best plans for this struggling club. Even though it is basically difficult to return to the previous Chelsea form and it is very possible for him to spend a lot of time in this job.

It makes sense what you say, because Pochettino certainly knows that the team he is coaching is a team that has fallen and needs to revive in a way that he will apply next season to Chelsea. Apart from that, Chelsea also needs to focus on the transfer market to get some of the best players so that the team can return to its true form with Pochettino's orders.

Brazil has officially announced that Carlo Ancelotti, the current Real Madrid manager, is going to take charge of Brazil from June 24, 2024. Carlo Ancelotti joins Brazil after a long wait Brazil have finally managed to sign Carlo Ancelotti. Brazil have been without a regular manager for a long time and we have seen the effect in the last few friendlies. Carlo Ancelotti is still almost a year away from taking charge of Brazil. I hope that Carlo Ancelotti will be able to bring the Brazilian team back to its former state after taking charge of Brazil.

I can't exactly remember whether Ancelotti said that Real Madrid will be his last club or his last team in general that he will be coaching. But he possibly said the last club and now finishes his career as a national coach for Brazil. I think that is a great decision and he is definitely a person or a character who could solve some of the problems that the Brazilian team recently had. He could turn al these individualists into a unit again and they will certainly be a potential contender for the title if he achieves that.

You will observe just from the gambling section where the Saudi Professional League is discussed, more people started to talk more and know more things about the league and the discussion increased. Now as more people have been signed to the league and people who liked them in the former league know they have moved, there will more attention now on the league they have moved to and more discussion. This is something that the Saudi's are hoping to achieve by bringing and signing players.

Manchester United were able to bring in Mason Mount at a high price, all because Erik Ten Hag knew that Mason Mount's performance was actually very good, it's just that at Chelsea he didn't get good training or indeed the previous Chelsea coach wasn't good at managing the performance of their players.
Joining Mason Mount at Manchester United will prove that it is not that bad and will make a good contribution to welcome next season.
I am sure that the arrival of Mason Mount at Manchester United will strengthen his performance as well as strengthen his defense.

PSG is a poisoned chalice, I would never take that job if I was in the industry. They are expected to win the league & anything less than winning the CL is seen as a failure or below par. Good luck to Luis Enrique, he’s going to need it there.

First of all congratulations on joining Paris Saint-Germain, to Luis Enrique. he is the ideal coach to bring PSG even better. but to be honest I didn't have much expectation, if Luis Enrique could bring PSG to win the Champions League trophy in his first season. moreover, currently there are several clubs that have become new competitors who also seem ready to compete in European competition. that means, the target of winning the Champions League trophy for PSG is quite heavy even though it is under the tutelage of an experienced coach.

also, the Mbappe rumors are increasingly becoming a hot topic of conversation. in fact I just read a report from Romano stating, Nasser Al Khelaifi " Kylian Mbappe he has to decide next week or in two weeks, no later than this " if he doesn't want to sign a new contact, doors are open, nothing is bigger than a club  "No players, not even me, that's very clear," said Le Parisien. this condition, became a challenge for Enrique. Moreover, if it turns out that Mbappe will not strengthen PSG in the new season.
IMO, ideally, Enrique is given complete freedom to build his squad the way he wants. by the way, let's just follow how far Luis Enrique will take PSG.

I think this is a great decision. Both for the national team of Brazil and also for Carlo Ancelotti himself. Ancelotti is already 64 years old and being a coach of a national team is way less stressful then being a coach of a club because you simply have not that much workload. You only have your team together from time to time and between those match days you maybe go watch some league games to watch your players and stuff.
For me Ancelotti is a perfect fit for a national coach. He always was known for being a coach that has a very good relationship to his players and that is able to motivate them. He never was that kind of coach that was the very best and detail loving in terms of tactics but that is not really a disadvantage here.

That price was actually non sense. It's far higher compared with his market value. https://www.transfermarkt.com/sandro-tonali/marktwertverlauf/spieler/397033

I doubt if tonalli's transfer gonna be another successful transfer from howe. I see tonalli's stats doesn't look like impressive last season. Im feeling doubtful if he gonna be useful for newcastle. Tonally wants stay even longer in acmilan but the director of club was not approving it and sold tonalli to the newcastle.

It's a big gamble by howe in buying tonalli from acmilan. Im feeling doubt with his performance during pre match that will come soon. Howe may put him as starting line up.
Tonalli won't be able easily adapting to the club.

It seems that it is indeed higher, it is just a rumor price. But the last price I read from some news, Ac Milan agreed to sell Tonali for 55 million Euros. This is of course a fairly competitive price and Newcastle will pay it.

"Sandro Tonali arriving in Newcastle for the first time — following his £55m move from AC Milan"

I hope so, Brazil is never short of quality players, every season a new quality young player is born. But the problem they face these days is that the players can't work together as a team which means they focus more on individual skills which in turn makes their abilities unable to come out to the fullest.
For me personally, individual skills are an advantage because the game of football focuses on team play. If they can implement team play very well coupled with their individual skills, then it will be an amazing result.

I would like to take an example from Germany a few years ago, when they won the World Cup. Their teamwork was very good and it was supported by their individual skills that made them look perfect. In the German national team I rarely see players who really stand out, because they really put teamwork above individual skills.

Good coach for PSG but i doubt he can win the title for PSG this season. PSG didnt sign a lot of big players plus too many superstars already left them. Question still is if Neymar will still play for PSG. Still i wonder if he dosent win the champions league will he get sacked in the first season like coaches before him.
