⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[rendravolt]

According to news from The Athletic, Armando Broja has the opportunity to leave Stamford Bridge in January 2024.
https://theathletic.com/5208430/2024/01/17/chelsea-armando-broja-transfer/
The poor performance given by Broja may be due to just returning from a long injury at the start of the 2023/24 season. So far, the 22 year old player has only appeared in 617 minutes in all competitions this season. This poor performance may be one of the reasons for releasing Broja, but Chelsea is asking a price of 35 million to 50 million pounds for the player from Albania. Broja has been linked with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Fulham. Both teams want to increase their attack power.

Indeed, it is felt that his role does not have a sharp impact for Chelsea and as a striker it is a weakness when he cannot contribute many goals to a club. Amando Broja has recently experienced a decline in performance and this could be because he previously suffered an injury which made him unable to be as consistent as in the previous season.

Chelsea had to let him go because it was impossible to keep a striker without improvement and the price offered by Chelsea was too expensive in my opinion. I think more precisely, with its current quality it can only be priced at 20 million euros because anything more than that is not worth it. He is still young and maybe quite promising after leaving Chelsea and here Wolves are most likely to get his services.

Deal !
FC Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel has liked for Bayern Munich to sign right-back Kieran Trippier from Newcastle united. Moreover, player have not been involved in any negotiations in terms of dealing, despite the fact that the deal will depend on the both clubs, i.e., Bayern Munich and Newcastle united. Bayern Munich actually used to play K. Laimer as full back whenever N. Mazraoui used to play. But anyway in fact Bayern Munich don't have any solid full back like Kieran Trippier. So because therefore, I believe that signing of Kieran Trippier for Bayern Munich is so good because they have already given the signal of weakness in their Right back position. Besides that, PSG is also trying to approach for Kieran Trippier to bring him to the French side But maybe Bayern Munich will be in a hurry to sign him because of the coach Thomas Tuchel.

I feel like Thomas Tuchel is doing a wrong thing for a big club like Bayern Munich who should be making investment in younger and talented players, he's busy making recommendations for players who are worned out. I don't expect them to win the Champions League Competition this way honestly.

Kieran Trippier is good with the crosses and defending but that is not a wise deal for Bayern Munich to make. They should be hunting for a younger lad like the dutch player Jeremy Frimpong who has good goals and assist for Bayern Leverkusen. Take a good look at Real Madrid even if I hate comparisons, they're making investment into younger and pacy players for next season.

In general we can wish Mourinho good luck and we are waiting for him in some Saudi club.

Mourinho is a manager who does his job with so much emotions, as a result of that i don't think he would move to Saudi Arabia because he would not get such feelings there, it would obviously be motivated by the money he is going to be paid. Having said that, if you look around Europe, you'll understand that Mou's options are limited, i don't think any big club can sign him now and smaller clubs cannot afford his wages. Mou also has serious disciplinary issues that many clubs would closely be looking at before they appoint him.

Yes, I think Mourinho can rest for a while for the rest of the season while seeing how the clubs in Europe are developing. I also don't think he will coach a team from the Saudi league. he will remain in Europe and possibly start with a new team for next season.
he might be able to stay with one of the clubs in Serie A or maybe with a club in the Premier League. There are still big clubs that are currently having problems with team performance. and maybe Mou could be a solution for teams who want to change their coach.

Yes, it's true that he should have chosen to take a short break after several matches because he was too busy training with Roma and when he rested, Mourinho could have had target of joining the club he wanted except Saudi arabia.
I'm sure there are many European club who want Mourinho to become coach at that club, but if you look at some of the rumors, it very likely he will stay in Serie A, but the question  who the candidate club that Mourinho will coach? whereas several popular clubs in Serie A are already comfortable with each coach.
There a possibility that Mourinho will go to the Premier League because there are 2 clubs currently that need great coaches, such as manchester United and Chelsea.
But I'm not sure whether Mourinho wants to serve as coach at Manchester United or Chelsea because these two clubs have very bad reputation this season but if MU can be controlled by Mourinho I'm sure there will be big changes that will happen but the problem that Chelsea has a lot of wealth bigger so that he can offer Mourinho a bigger salary.

[Alpha Marine]

I don't understand why he was fired in the middle of the road when let him finish the task until the end at least with the 6th position again for Roma it was good enough for them, but maybe they judged that the current position of 9th could not be saved anymore by Jose Mourinho so he preferred to be fired rather than continued failure, which surprised De Rossi who was appointed as an inexperienced coach.

Sacking Mourinho now is a bad decision. You don't expect them to keep him till things get worse than it already is? They're 9th on the table and I don't see how there can be a turnaround this season with Mourinho in charge. Mourinho is a manager who has a short-term impact on any team he manages, so if good results don't come, there's no point keeping him for long hoping for things to change.

As for De Rossi, the contract was a short-term contract. He's a legend of the club. Someone who knows the club well and understands what the club wants. He might be a bad decision since he's inexperienced or he might be what Roma needs right now. Either way, it's a short-term contract so there's no big deal about it.

"Verbal Agreement" I think we will hear the official news about it within 1-2 days.
And the funny thing is, there is already a schedule of friendly match in Jan 24th Al Shabab vs AS Roma lol.
So if that really happens, Mou must face his former club in less than a week.

Still haven't heard news from reporters we know like Fabrzio Romano saying Jose Mourinho has reached an agreement with Al-Shabab.
Is it true there will be a fixture between Al-Shabab vs Roma, I missed this news?
Maybe Mourinho will be very angry and want to beat Roma as his concern, but I still doubt like coach Mourinho should go to the Arab league.

[QueenVera]

Expensive compared to what? Do you remember how much Mudrik cost? Or Anthony? These are mediocre players (at least for now) but they paid a lot of money for them because that’s the way the transfer market is now (Saudis and everything else). There are no guarantees that the transfer will be successful (although Haaland is already an accomplished player and wherever he played he scored a lot of goals), there is a possibility that what happened with Hazard will happen, but this does not mean that big transfers should not be made at all.
As for prices, taking into account the signing bonus of 130 million that Mbappe will receive, there is no difference between “buying out” the player or paying a signing bonus - the final price will be approximately the same.
And the likelihood that Mbappe and Haaland will play for Real at the same time is zero, both want to be the “first fiddle” and will never agree to such competition, especially Mbappe since he does not play the tip of the attack, but rather a position under the striker, so it may turn out that the whole the statistics will benefit Haaland.

Well Mbappe or Haaland to Real is quite crazy and could be seen as probably not gonna happen because they are supposed to take over the boots of Leo and Ronaldo. Yes the fee for the both could be quite crazy but ain’t a big deal for Real, however among the above stated players, Mbappé is the most likely to move to Madrid, with reasons that Haaland still got a long contact with City and it would cost Madrid a lot cause of his release clause, whereas Mbappé just have some months left and would cost them not very much to lure him to the Bernabeu.

 The Saudis and some oil clubs are one reason why we’ve got crazy transfer fee in football. Like when you compare the likes of Caicedo, Mudryk, Anthony and how much they’re offering to their clubs and how much the likes of Mbappe or Haaland can offer then that alone should make their transfer fee bizzare. Well the competition between these 2 will be one reason they won’t be able to play for same club because they both want to be on the lime light Nd not hiding under the shadow of the other.

What the heck did he think when he left Liverpool? Or does anyone know whether Liverpool wanted him to go?

The real reasons aren't known till now but it was rumored that it was due to the fact that he wasn't getting enough playing time anymore despite being the captain and he knew during that transfer window that Liverpool would get midfield reinforcements and I think that triggered him to make that abrupt move. He was my skipper and I still miss him in a Liverpool shirt and I'd wish him well at Ajax.

Imo, The only reason that would justify his decision then was that he wanted to try out new challenges.

I believe that some of the players massively underestimate how their motivation to perform at the best level drops to zero. Now when they got all the money they want but find themselves in an environment that is not enjoyable for them, I doubt that any player under those circumstances would ever be able to reach new heights or to find his peak level. Ronaldo is scoring a lot of goals, but he is obviously nowhere near his peak. If they do something for the money only, and that is what they do in Saudi Arabia, it is tough to go out on the pitch and play as if there was no tomorrow.

[ginsan]

Yes, it's true that he should have chosen to take a short break after several matches because he was too busy training with Roma and when he rested, Mourinho could have had a target of joining the club he wanted except Saudi Arabia.

Actually, many big clubs want to use Mourinho services for next season and I think he has to stabilize his confidence after being fired by Roma. Well, if you say that many Serie A teams are quite comfortable with the current coach, of course it is true, but there are rumors that AC Milan will look for a new coach if Pioli fails to bring AC Milan to a trophy this season. But I doubt that AC Milan will be interested in using Mourinho services. There are several top coaches who are unemployed at the moment, such as Conte and Mourinho, so these two coaches might take a break until this season is over.

In fact, it is not impossible that Mourinho and Conte will return to the Premier League or La Liga because currently these two coaches are able to make the team they train stronger and more famous with their coaching methods. Mourinho failed to bring Roma to a better performance this season, but he also managed to bring one trophy to Roma under his coaching. Let's wait for the latest news about these two coaches, whether they will go to the Saudi Arabian League or not.

Sacking Mourinho now is a bad decision. You don't expect them to keep him till things get worse than it already is? They're 9th on the table and I don't see how there can be a turnaround this season with Mourinho in charge. Mourinho is a manager who has a short-term impact on any team he manages, so if good results don't come, there's no point keeping him for long hoping for things to change.

I also think they were to quick in letting Mourinho live the club, I'm not too convince that they both pathways in good faith between him and Roma but I think I saw one of his videos trending on Tiktok some few weeks ago making some dancing moves, maybe he wasn't too focus that's why they let him go. Joke aside, if there is no selfish interest going on in that club, Roma are still in good place because even he last season, they needed in 6th place to qualify for Europa conference league and now they are in number 9, it's not good and the same time it's not poor to me.

As for De Rossi, the contract was a short-term contract. He's a legend of the club. Someone who knows the club well and understands what the club wants. He might be a bad decision since he's inexperienced or he might be what Roma needs right now. Either way, it's a short-term contract so there's no big deal about it.

Someone who knows the club is the new trend of managers teams are now using to guide teams. Maybe they are inspired by Xavi and Arteta journey so far but even if it he didn't meet to their expectations, the contract is short and he can park his luggage's and live immediately but I'm sure he wouldn't want that for himself. He will improve and do more to get that permanent place in Roma. I just hope the team connect well in order to impress the team because it's one thing to work is another for the team coperation.

[Raflesia]

Yes, I think Mourinho can rest for a while for the rest of the season while seeing how the clubs in Europe are developing. I also don't think he will coach a team from the Saudi league. he will remain in Europe and possibly start with a new team for next season.
he might be able to stay with one of the clubs in Serie A or maybe with a club in the Premier League. There are still big clubs that are currently having problems with team performance. and maybe Mou could be a solution for teams who want to change their coach.

He should not be too hasty in this matter because entering in the middle of the season where Mourinho's tactics must run with careful preparation will actually make his situation worse when he insists on directly coaching another club now.

He is one of those coaches who has to prepare everything from scratch because the scheme he is doing is quite conservative besides that, he definitely needs time, especially for the chemistry with the defenders of the new club which is sure this will take a lot of time because indeed Mou's plan in a scheme at a defensive player club is very important to support success in a match.
Imposing for a new club will only make his plans a little difficult to realize unless he is ready for criticism at the new club.

Mourinho always gets his second or third season in a club wrong I don’t get why, he either gets into trouble with the club hierarchy or the top players of the club, if you ask me this is one of the reason why he is a top top manager and easily on the list of GOATs. I think he does this stuffs just to leave that particular club and nothing more. As for Roma sacking him, I would say it is too ambitious of them to actually sack him because Roma aren’t longer a top club, Infact it’s Mourinho that actually brought them this far since a decade ago they haven’t won an European Trophy and he did get them one. De Rossi signing Isn’t too bad, but is not yet at that level of experience that Roma will say they want to push them to the tittle or European places. They seriously need to be patience with him because it wouldn’t work over night and I pray it doesn’t ends up like some legends of other clubs

Still haven't heard news from reporters we know like Fabrzio Romano saying Jose Mourinho has reached an agreement with Al-Shabab.

Maybe Mourinho will be very angry and want to beat Roma as his concern, but I still doubt like coach Mourinho should go to the Arab league.

It’s all Rumor, yes I know an experienced Manager like Mourinho will definitely attract attention from Saudi pro league because they really want the best players and coaches too, so the news might be concrete from there camp but Mourinho camp would definitely be weighing up options before deciding.

[Sakanwa]

The rumour about Morinho's move to Saudi has been ringing bell in the media of recent times, Morinho has been officially sacked by Roma who felt the man isn't good enough to take them to tittle glory,even when he made them get to the finals of the Europa league,they didn't still see it.Morinho will soon get used to being sacked at any team he manages,he was sacked at Chelsea,United and almost all the teams he has coached,he hasn't left a club smoothly without being sacked by the management of the club,and it is this same reason that makes them call him a three season's coach.

[red4slash]

I don't understand why he was fired in the middle of the road when let him finish the task until the end at least with the 6th position again for Roma it was good enough for them, but maybe they judged that the current position of 9th could not be saved anymore by Jose Mourinho so he preferred to be fired rather than continued failure, which surprised De Rossi who was appointed as an inexperienced coach.

We can't say for sure that this was a bad decision because it could have been a good situation for Roma by replacing Mourinho with De Rosi.

Indeed, sacking a veteran coach like Mourinho and replacing him with a new kid on the block (albeit one of the club's legends) would have presented an unconvincing situation as we would have doubted the transition and the chemistry between the new coach and the players but in the end we realised that this was a gamble by Roma.

They know that the current situation they will definitely be pounded with pros and cons for sacking Mou and replacing him with De Rosi but on the other hand in the end things like this depend on performance because indeed now the pros and cons are still speculation and we have to see De Rosi's performance in coaching Roma whether this choice is right or not.

[tiCeR]

Indirectly you are saying that we already know Mbappe will not go on transfer this time but we still have to discuss it because it is a good situation to be in?
I actually think otherwise, indeed in this case when a transfer will definitely be seasoned by this kind of thing to make it look more interesting but when it is discussed too overhype when we already know that it will not happen isn't it just a waste of time.

I think in this case almost everyone is aware that the transfer about Mbappe in this transfer window will not be able to succeed and he will not leave in January this time but we seem to refuse to say that just because this is a discussion worth saying in the transfer season when things like this actually only increase speculation and waste time because the certainty that Mbappe stays at PSG in January this time is likely to happen.

Mbappe would never, never ever leave PSG this January. It would make absolutely no sense if PSG decided to let him go before the next round of the Champions League even starts. I would bet everything I have that he will be a PSG player at least until the end of this season. Anything else would be ridiculous.

The main goal PSG has is the Champions League title and now that they are in the round of 16, there is nothing more they can ask for as of now. Their focus is on those games and there are rumors all the time about Mbappe. Now there are new rumors talking about PSG going for a last resort offer for Mbappe to extend his contract, but as long as no officials confirm this, I doubt anything can be relied upon.

[Furious 7]

He is still good enough to help a team for a few years, but now I deeply wonder whether he threw a great great career ending in the trash. Do you guys know that he was the captain of a now leading Liverpool and that he played 43 games in the season 2022/23 for his beloved club? Yes he was a substitute player, but he also made a lot of important games and was able to have such great moments in the last phase of his career. He then decided to leave and go for the money and now he isn't happy anymore and goes to Ajax, a club which can't really win anything this season.

What the heck did he think when he left Liverpool? Or does anyone know whether Liverpool wanted him to go?

It was his choice from the start and he knew the consequences of failing.
At the end of the day, even though the SPL is a comfortable place for older players, we must also know that sometimes performance still matters.
Hendo played too long comfortably at Liverpool even though the EPL tension is different but in this case he is still very good because he is supported by quality players but it is different when talking about the SPL because in this case when he is in the SPL he is definitely required to create a miracle just like Cristiano did with Alnassr because after all the SPL club pays dearly in addition to exposure, this is also to improve the performance of the club so it will definitely be a burden if the expectations given do not match the expectations that occur.

Well Mbappe or Haaland to Real is quite crazy and could be seen as probably not gonna happen because they are supposed to take over the boots of Leo and Ronaldo.

Well the competition between these 2 will be one reason they won’t be able to play for same club because they both want to be on the lime light Nd not hiding under the shadow of the other.

In my opinion why should link Halaand with another team in this January transfer window. In fact, there is no strong rumor that suggests that Halaand relationship with Manchester City is breaking down so that he will leave for another team. I think Haaland is quite comfortable at Manchester City and he also has a good relationship with the players and also with Guardiola so Haaland will definitely not leave for another team at this time. Even Manchester City doesn't plan to give up their goal machine to another team even though the offer on the table is quite large. So far, Haaland has been the spearhead in every match played by Manchester City and Manchester City's success in the previous season of course cannot be separated from Haaland contribution in every match.

So, Mbappe could leave for another team after his contract with PSG ends.  But recently PSG has offered a new contract to their star player with a fairly large salary offer in their new offer. Well, if this offer is rejected by Mabppe then we will see Mbappe in another team's uniform next season. I think he is very close to joining Real Madrid, especially as there are many rumors circulating that Mbappe has already made contact with Real Madrid.

Moise Kean has a deal with Atletico Madrid.

If Correa will leave Madrid he will join the until the end of the season.

Moise Kean has a deal with Atletico Madrid.

If Correa will leave Madrid he will join the until the end of the season.

Moise Kean of Juventus ? Looks like he has struggled to get suitors since his breakthrough at Juventus but why Atlético madrid? Will get game time ? He has had different spells at different club sides including psg without a super season, so you think this willl be different in Madrid with Simeone ?

[mv1986]

We can't say for sure that this was a bad decision because it could have been a good situation for Roma by replacing Mourinho with De Rosi.

It's quite simple how we will find out whether it was a good decision to sack Mourinho or not. Or maybe it can already be said that the decision was at least not dumb since Mourinho didn't make a good impression as a coach for quite a while now. But was it the right decision to replace him with De Rossi? He doesn't have much experience at all and his last job was for a club in Serie C. It's definitely an experiment for the club. De Rossi can't complain as he is given a nice chance now to establish himself as a respectable coach.

But I doubt that many people understand how complicated his job now is. If Roma was playing utterly bad, his job would be easier because almost any result could be deemed a success. But now his job is to bring back Roma into a top 4 or top 5 position and that is very hard as Roma isn't a high quality team, yet the club bosses still have their goals. I think De Rossi won't be able to improve the team.

[Velvet78]

Moise Kean has a deal with Atletico Madrid.

If Correa will leave Madrid he will join the until the end of the season.

Moise Kean's market value is nearly the same as Angel Correa's. Kean is a much younger version of Correa as well. Both player can play as centre-forwards even though Correa's natural position is right wing. I think this could be a good investment by Atletico Madrid. Kean has played in 12 games with Juventus so far in the season but 0 goal.

I think he just doesn't belong with them. Maybe Atletico Madrid can be a second chance for the young player to improve his finishing skills and become a much better player in the long term.
