⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[shogun47]

In as much as we all know that kylian Mbappe is one big player that values big trophies and have on many occasions spoken about his desire to pay hands on the UEFA champions league trophy, we must not feign ignorance to the fact that he's allowed money to affect some of his big decisions in football. Of a truth, he rejected an offer to join Saudi Arabia club last summer despite the mouthwatering financial package that came with the offer but he also changed his decision to sign for Real Madrid two years ago because Paris Saint Germaine offered more financial deal.

The France international is very keen on winning the UEFA champions league competition which I think he has a chance of doing with the current Paris Saint Germaine squad under Luis Enrique but he knows it'll be more realizable with Real Madrid and that's why he'll definitely want to join the next summer.

Has it ever been confirmed that Mbappe was offered 700 million or whatever that amount was?

I never saw Mbappe confirming that there was an offer from Saudi Arabia, but who knows maybe it is true. It doesn't really matter and he would have harmed his career tremendously if he decided to leave Europe and go to Saudi Arabia.

But now he is still around and I am sure a lot of trophies will follow. He is a French player and his prospects to win titles with the national team aren't that bad either.

As was revealed several weeks ago, Donny van De Beek has finally officially joined Frankfurt on loan until the end of this season. The news is quite surprising because we have barely seen his performance at Manchester United for half this season and he made the right decision by joining Frnakfurt. At least he will start getting regular minutes with Frankfurt and try to give his best performance. Even though his performance is quite doubtful, at least he can prove that Manchester United have misjudged him.

On the other hand, there is Lucas Beraldo who was also officially announced to join PSG today and as a young talent from Brazil it is hoped that he can help PSG's defense line become stronger. As a defender, that is of course what coach Luis Enrique wants and with the increasingly busy competition schedule starting in 2024, he certainly hopes that Lucas Beraldo will be a good solution for the team.

There have been two interesting transfers at the moment and one of them is Donny van de Beek, who maybe not have a good chance of playing in international competitions next year at Manchester United in the Premier League. Now to Germany to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga and things are looking littlle better there. The fans in the stadium wont change much, both clubs have a big stadium and loud fans. For 9 million euros he now plays 6 months in Germany and then there is a purchase option of about 10 million euros.

The other interesting transfer is Lucas Beraldo from FC Sao Paulo to Paris SG in france. At the age of 20, he hasnt won many titles yet, but that will change now.

Alexis Mac Allister and Thiago are injured. Moreover, Liverpool have had problems in midfield since last season. Liverpool must make good use of the winter transfer window. They are the leaders this season. Unlike last season's misfortune, they are having a good season. There were reports in the press that they were interested in Fulham's João Palhinha. I think it would be good for them to sign 2 midfielders and 1 defender in the winter transfer window. They have to do that if they want to stay in the championship race.

Bayern Munich are heavily linked with Palhinha from Fulham. Liverpool chase for him should be seen as complete speculations. They already have Endo who's doing a great job for the reds In midfied right now.
Jurgen Klopp has also said Thiago Alcantara would be back in the month of January and that he's been a solid player in their squad.

I don't know about Mac Alister, but, Godspeed with his return back for Injury.
Barcelona move for Joshua Kimmich makes me happy, I feel like it's a good deal for both sides. Pep Guardiola would even want him to make the switch.

Winter transfer window is the time when some teams turn their luck and performance. Liverpool are in dire need of Midfielders right now due to the injury of some of them. But the question is will the owners of Liverpool give them the budget to do so? Because they are known to be stingy and they don't want to pay for players. But now that Liverpool is on top of the Premier League I believe they should spend more.

Carvalho has been called back from Leipzig since he was not getting enough time. Hopefully, that would release some of the pressure that they are going through. But he is an attacking midfielder and Liverpool do need someone to hold down the midfield. After Fabinho and Henderson left, it has been hard for them to keep up with the injuries.

But in this case I am still quite sure that Mbappe will definitely leave sooner or later because even though being at PSG can indeed make him gain popularity in France but his individual awards will definitely be very lacking for Mbappe and this is not very good because it is like wasting the potential he has.

Well, this can be a certainty because after all, being at PSG actually seems like Mbappe wasted the opportunity he had to fly further.

We can take the example of Haaland in this case because when he tried to get out of his comfort zone for Dortmund and moved to Manchester City, his career for a young player increased rapidly even with a very crazy first season at Manchester City making his value and level of popularity and individual achievements increase rapidly.
Now we are just waiting for a decision from Mbappe whether he really wants to get out of his comfort zone at PSG or look for a new adventure in a better competition than Ligue 1 because even though Ligue 1 is one of the most popular European competitions but he will not get anything at PSG.

I agree with you about Mbappe. He seems trapped in a golden cage. He's the star, but is he pushing himself? Haaland's transfer to Man City boosted his career beyond staying comfortable. Mbappe must take a risk to follow suit. A talent like him would thrive at Real Madrid, where he could pursue higher goals like the UCL trophy.

Dont forget the Premier League. On the battlefield, only the greatest survive. Mbappe may face Haaland in a historic matchup in Liverpool. However, Real Madrid wants Mbappe's striking talent. He should consider opportunities outside PSG. He's too talented for Ligue 1.

You forgot to mention thiago silva. He has become the real example for mbappe caused by thiago silva never won anything other than french league trophy but he can get various trophies with chelsea. Mbappe shall take the risk that will be giving a lot of impact to his career.
There were many examples of players that leave from their old mediocre club and they can get successful into their new clubs. Mbappe needs to take the risk or his career will be stuck in the same place. It's caused by the old club will never give him new experience.
he can get so many knowledge once he will join in the club that was even stronger than PSG. So, mbappe must put madrid as the main destrination for his career in the future.

Mbappe needs to fuckin go to the new club. I would like to see him able to develop his performance and skill to be even better. He has a dream to become one of best striker in the world.
Mbappe shall go to the madrid to make it happen.

As the winter transfer window started today, here comes a big news but this time from a coach and not from a player. Carlo Ancelotti just extended his contract with Real Madrid until 2026 which made the Brazilian national football team in a hard situation finishing the year without a coach nor good results.
This contract extension made also Zinedine Zidane in an awkward situation since first, his dream in leading the French national team finished prematurely after Deschamps extended his contract with them and now he lost a chance to train Real Madrid again. I think he could try or take the risk to manage Manchester United..

He should move on from the French League. Mbappe could benefit more from joining Real Madrid than Real Madrid would from signing Mbappe. Real Madrid has set a new deadline, showing their willingness to sign Mbappe despite his disrespectful behavior. It would be in Mbappe's best interest to consider joining Real Madrid. We all know he won't regret it. I believe Mbappe will join them if they offer him a better contract. This presents another opportunity for him to rectify the mistake of rejecting them earlier. If Mbappe doesn't contemplate moving to Real Madrid, he risks being one of those talented players lacking the intelligence to make the right career decisions.

Claudio Echeverri, who had a great performance with Argentina in the U17 World Cup, scored 5 goals in 7 matches and was chosen as the most valuable player of the tournament. Big clubs were competing with each other to get him. The winner of this race was Manchester City. City will pay 25 million Euro to River Plate for this transfer. Echeverri will spend another season on loan at River Plater and will join Manchester City next year. It was a very correct decision. The transfer fee also seems quite reasonable.

Considering the competition, it's amazing that Manchester City signed Claudio Echeverri. It speaks volumes about City's philosophy and their belief in emerging talent. But I can't help but worry if a year at River Plate will be sufficient to get him ready for the intensity of the Premier League. When compared to the Argentine league, the Premier League is a completely different animal. It often takes players some time to get used to the pace and violence. How City intends to include him in the lineup following his loan intrigues me. Will he be allowed to play right away, or will he have to learn his place over time? If he lives up to the hype, it appears City may have scored a possible deal on the transfer fee in the current market

If what you are saying is true then that would be great for both Mbappe and Real Madrid. Mbappe is clearly unhappy with PSG. But still, the question remains will Perez let Mbappe get into Real Madrid's squad?

A few years back Mbappe betrayed Real Madrid when everyone was expecting that Mbappe would join Real Madrid. Things were almost certain and everyone was 99% certain. But PSG's directors were saying that he wouldn’t let Mbappe go and they would try to keep him at PSG. And they did succeed. Now I don't know what will happen this time and talking from that time’s experience, I would not say something until it is certain. I think PSG will try to keep him again after all they spend a lot of money on him to renew his contract.

All this talk about betrayal becomes irrelevant the moment Mbappe decides to go to Real Madrid. Does anyone really think that Perez would close the doors for Mbappe or refuse to sign him when Mbappe publicly announces that he wants to go to Real Madrid? Sorry but this is never going to happen and it doesn't matter whether Mbappe betrayed Real Madrid or not. Once this window of opportunity opens for Real Madrid, they will definitely sign him. Anything else would be ridiculous.

Mbappe is still a hot star in Europe, but Mbappe is losing his aura in the Champions League, he must find a new destination. Mbappe has not yet committed his future to PSG. According to FIFA rules, he can negotiate with other clubs starting today. Perhaps Real learned a lesson from the negotiations in the summer of 2022. They were assertive and showed that they did not necessarily have him.

But if Real Madrid gets him, they must avoid discord in the dressing room. Over the years, Real has tried to control the salary budget and the fact that Mbappe can enjoy a salary more than double that of Real's current stars has always been a sensitive issue behind the scenes. Because Mbappe is always the center of all trouble.

But he is an attacking midfielder and Liverpool do need someone to hold down the midfield. After Fabinho and Henderson left, it has been hard for them to keep up with the injuries.

I don't think Liverpool are in dire need of Midfielders right now. The injured players, like Mac Allister and Thiago, will be back soon. Maintaining their position at the top of the Premier League is a testament to Liverpool's performance and potential. I dont think they need to strengthen the squad in the winter transfer window, but it can be a strategic move to not only secure their current standing but also to enhance their chances of clinching the title.

Right now, Liverpool need a good Defensive Midfielder. Having Endo as the only Defensive Midfielder is too risky for them in challenging the title. Investing in quality midfielders during the transfer window would provide necessary cover and ensure that the team remains competitive in domestic and international competitions. The return of Carvalho from Leipzig could indeed alleviate some pressure, but having a well-balanced midfield requires players with different skill sets. Liverpool may be known for being cautious with their spending that makes me think the current circumstances might make them remain quiet in this window.

As the winter transfer window started today, here comes a big news but this time from a coach and not from a player. Carlo Ancelotti just extended his contract with Real Madrid until 2026 which made the Brazilian national football team in a hard situation finishing the year without a coach nor good results.
This contract extension made also Zinedine Zidane in an awkward situation since first, his dream in leading the French national team finished prematurely after Deschamps extended his contract with them and now he lost a chance to train Real Madrid again. I think he could try or take the risk to manage Manchester United..

Zidane is not even the coach to cal back to Real Madrid, he doesn't have to take the job, he should already good at his thing. Expecting him back at Madrid is sick he will not achieve anything good with this squad.
Deschamps also deserves the job for France, Zidane anyways has decided to spend more time with his family alone for now.

Donny Van Dee Beek leaving on loan, he would need to play for the Euro's so it's good to see him leaving Manchester United for the very first time. He, Manchester United and Frankfurt all have signed up all of the necessary documents for the player, he would be signed gor a long time if he plays well.

Is that so? I am not sure Zidane will take Manchester United who will make him a coach to replace Erik Ten Hag, it was clear some time ago about his statement Zidane is not interested in English clubs.

I think Zidane will take another long break and he is not thinking of working in the near future, when he has an interest he will definitely say he will return and of course the club will look for a Zidane figure who will be made a coach.

Zidane at Real Madrid has succeeded, if he wants to lead the French national team then he still has no chance for that.

Regarding Man United transfer rumors, previously we already knew that Jadon Sancho was having a dispute with Ten Hag, now the transfer window has opened. I am very curious about Sancho future career, Dortmund is reportedly no longer interested in recruiting him and prefers to pursue the signature of young players others Dan Gore by adapting to the club needs. on other hand, several other rumors regarding United transfer plans are also interesting to pay attention to. It seems that Ten Hag is still strongly supported by The Red Devils management even though the team performance is very unstable.

Van De Beek has officially been loaned to Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt, after having difficulty competing for United main squad to play regularly. In other news, Varane is currently in discussions regarding his contract which will expire at the end of the season. if Varane is not willing to reduce his salary then United will let him go on a free transfer at the end of the season.

We know that Ten Hag is improving The Red Devils defense line, several names are being linked. We also can't forget that last january the recruitment of players like Mason Mount was quite bad, Ten Hag has to be really selective in recruiting new players.

[fuguebtc]

The wrong decisions Ten Hag made so far in Manchester United had a bad effect on this team and obviously, Ten Hag is guilty of many problems in Manchester United.
De Gea had a good performance in this team and Ten Hag decided to stop using this player because he preferred to use Onana since they we working in Ajax. In their hand regarding Sancho, Ten Hag made another mistake and e totally lost this player to help the team.

That Ten Hag was not a proper standard coach for Manchester United. Manchester United is a big club and plays a sustainable game in the Premier League. So Manchester United should have hired a coach who would give Manchester United players the right way to win any trophy, etc. for Manchester United. Ten Hag's two big mistakes that Manchester United will not be able to recover from are Jordan Sancho and David De Ga, both of whom were removed from Manchester United. David De Gea was replaced by Onana, who plays very wastefully and makes many mistakes, which causes defeat for the team. If they replace Onana with David De Gea, at least they won't make as many mistakes as Onana does. So it means to say that if Manchester United wants to make its club better, then first of all it should remove Ten Hag and get an appropriate coach who can organize the club and make a perfect game play to give victory to the team.

Ten Hag is not a manager who can handle the big players. He can always do good with the small teams because he can control everything about them. But the big players, they don't want to be controlled, they want control and do things on their own. He didn't play Ronaldo at the start of the season and many other players who did well the season before he came back. He bought Antony, who flopped. He bought Onana, and he flopped. Clearly, there are lackings in his plans and behavior.

I can't continue making criticisms of coaches and players continuously because the game of football ain't easy. Zidane is not a coach Manchester United needs, he finds it difficult to handle pressure. He is not a risk taker, he wants everything done by already made players.
Erik Ten Hag is not to be sacked, there's no better candidate for the Manchester United job than him. He will do a better job in the long run. It hurts me bad that, Manchester United fans has no patience.

The signature of Mason Mount to Manchester United was not good, even before the move I said it here, that he is not a player I like but since the manager wants him, who am I?

Yeah, that is what I said. They need a midfielder. Having Carvalho back won't do much for them as he is an attacking midfielder. They need a midfielder who can replace others when they are unavailable.

Liverpool has Europa League matches coming up and the Premier League fights keep getting fierce. So they cannot afford to lose any points at this point. If they lose any match or point, Aston Villa or Manchester City may get ahead of them and it will be tough for Liverpool to catch up. They need sufficient backups. Now when their main midfielders are injured, I don't think it would be wrong to say that they are in dire need of midfielders. If they want to win both the Europa League and the Premier League, they need new midfielders or somehow make sure the players don’t get injured anymore but it is impossible because considering these schedules, some players are bound to get injured.

Yeah, obviously, bro, this is true that Zidane will not get the coach's place at Manchester United or won't return to Real Madrid. Because the goal of a coach is to achieve an achievement with a club, that is to win some trophies, and in fact, if we look, Zidane has achieved all those achievements with Real Madrid, and now I think that is the only remaining step. Zidane wants to accomplish, and that step is the national team coach. According to my estimation, Zidane will now prefer to become the manager of the national team, and for the national team, it is France that Zidane will like to coach. Get some contributions too. So therefore, I believed that Zidane's return to Real Madrid seemed possible and that there was no possibility of becoming the coach of Manchester United. It is showing only one possible way, and that is the France national team.

Mbappe is a good player who have won some good trophies at his young age. Winning the world cup was something special for him, but he has to win the champions league and I don't see PSG giving him that trophy and his only chance of doing that is with Real Madrid. He needs a good competition so that he won't feel too comfortable as I don't see much competition for him in the French league.

[Velvet78]

I didn't know Raphael Varane had a condition on his contract to extend his contract by one more year. However Manchester United don't seem to be keen on activating this condition. They really seem determined to let him go for now. I don't know how Varane's performance dropped this much and came to the point of parting ways with him.

That injury of him must have had a serious affect though. But I still don't expect him to be like this all the time from now on. If he is given more time he can improve his performance. If the Red Devils let him go anyway maybe we can see Real Madrid going for him. Because they are in need of a defender these days after the recent injuries emerged.

It is a bit surprising that Ancelotti extends his contract for 2 more seasons. We know that he is projected to be the coach of Brazil national team. But now, it is clear that Ancelotti will stay in Real Madrid until 2026. I think it is not a bad idea to stay in Real Madrid, Ancelotti can maintain what he already builds in Real Madrid squad. The young players in Real Madrid need help and motivation from Ancelotti, he is a perfect coach to support Real Madrid players. Well, it is true that Zidane or other coaches won't have the chance to manage Real Madrid.
