⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

I can't even believe this. This is gonna be a very good news for chelsea if bayern will be eyeing mudryk from chelsea. I know that if mudryk was not performing good enough in the chelsea and tuchel may be seeing him as a potential player that can be developed.
Mudryjk fast but needs to to train to get a better handling to control the ball.

Bayern Munich reportedly considered a move for struggling Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk in the January transfer window.

The latest report has been telling us if bayern had interest to buy mudryk from chelsea but the club is still considering it. I think that will be good for mudryk to go to the bayern instead of stay in the chelsea even longer. That will be so amazing if mudryk will become bayern's player.
I hope that mudryk will be going there caused by it will give free space for chelsea to get the new winger. Im sure that public will be shocked if bayern will be buying him from chelsea.

It's not yet clear whether bayern wants premanent transfer or loan from chelsea but seeing this news was coming prove that if mudryk was not a bad player but he was only a lucky player.
I was rarely seeing that a player that played so average has been attracted so many

I suspect Benzema rushed to join a Saudi team. His current condition shows that he didn't anticipate his problems. Like me, you've observed he's divided between staying and going. This hesitation frustrates fans who expected more from a skilled player. I think Benzema misjudged Saudi league cultural and professional differences. He needs performance and happiness, but he's not finding either. Before making such a big move, he should have investigated more choices, possibly even EPL ones

The choices made are decisive on the player. The Frenchman exits Real Madrid because he was persuaded by these SPL clubs, they consider him to become important figure for the team. SPL is tougher than expected, none of these European players that make moves to SPL are doing quite balance except for Cristiano Ronaldo, he's doing exceptionally brilliant in matches. Karim Benzema failed to make his findings about the Saudi Pro League before moving, he couldn't adapt to the pattern so he fought really hard to exits.

Benzema is still looking for the exit from Al-Ittihad in January. But the team still wants him to stay. The things are getting more complicated for Benzema as long as he is still there.

There have been rumours related to a Premier League team as well. It must be Arsenal I guess? I must admit I would like to see him there rather than wasting his time in Saudi Arabia while he is unhappy. Maybe he has been making tons of money so far but money doesn't always bring endless happiness as it seems.    He can still be useful if he returns to European football thanks to his quality in my opinion.

If Benzema returns to European football, I will enjoy watching him. Because he had a great performance in his last season in Europe. But he is 36 years old. It would make more sense for him to continue his career in leagues where he can earn more money. But it would be good to watch him at Arsenal and Chelsea. Or he could return to Lyon where he shone as a star. Lyon are going through a very bad period this season. They could be relegated from the French Ligue 1. If Karim Benzema goes to Lyon, he can save Lyon.

There is some news about Jérôme Boateng the player if Bayern Munich finally after years of playing at Bayern Munich he left the team and he is going to play for Serie A. Jérôme Boateng had drama because of his personal life and this made him to lose many games in Bayern Munich and just is some games when they hardly needed to have him they used Jérôme Boateng and his performance was not good at all.
Now Jérôme Boateng is going to play for Salernitana and he left Bayern Munich after years of playing there.

It more make sense for him back to Lyon, most players going back to the team where they were raised, Benzema might be one of player that know the meaning of that. Benzema should know he might not able to compete with the young players especially in the competitive league.

There is some news about Jérôme Boateng the player if Bayern Munich finally after years of playing at Bayern Munich he left the team and he is going to play for Serie A

The example of a ruined player.

[Litzki1990]

I also had the same thought. I think the rumors that Arsenal are interested in signing Benzema are just media speculation. Possibly because Arsenal currently has a desire to get a new striker, so this is linked to Benzema's condition, who is said to not feel at home at Al-Ittihad.

Benzema has achieved glory in his time, but for now, I think it will be difficult for Benzema to adapt to the rigors of the Premier League. Meanwhile, what Arsenal needs is a striker who can improve their performance, so instead of getting a Striker just to boost their popularity, I think Arsenal is definitely hoping for a Striker who can really make their chances in the title race better.

I also think so because we can see that so far Arsenal has been quite selective in making transfers regarding the age of players, while Benzema is a player who is no longer young and also in terms of quality he has really declined and in fact I don't think Benzema will be able to compete again in top European competitions because Of course age will have quite an influence on a player's performance.
The current rumors are just issues raised by the media because the player and the team have the same correlation.
Benzema wants to leave Al-Ittihad and the Arsenal team is in need of a striker.

If a European club would have kept an eye on Karim Benzema, but as soon as the contract with Real Madrid ended, a European club would certainly have offered him, but that did not happen. When Real Madrid terminated the contract with Karim Benzema, the Saudi club completed a new contract with Karim Benzema. As Karim Benzema is now quite an old player, his pace and playmaking skills have decreased and he may not be able to perform as expected in European competitions. Sometimes we hear a lot of rumors but not all the rumors are true. 
Considering Karim Benzema's age and speed, it is likely that he will have to stay in Saudi Arabia because of his failure to perform well in European competition. It is definitely better for him to play regularly for a club in Saudi Arabia than to sit on the bench and perform poorly in Europe.

Like you, I support Erik Ten Hag. Manchester United needs a stable leader, and I think Ten Hag is the appropriate guy. I hope his ideas will pay off eventually, despite critics' criticisms of his style or player management. Team togetherness and his vision for the club's future are exactly what we need.

The Mourinho parallel amuses me. Mourinho enjoyed his successes with United, but looking back isnt helpful. You stated the team's form comeback; we should focus on that. Im optimistic as the players get fit. Long-term thinking and patience are crucial.

Gladd to see that support for the bald headed and stubborn gaffer ( Lol ) he's had some things and decisions go left this season but I barely judge him rather I hope for the best for him. He'll have to reduce the way he makes use of players like Andrea Onana and Antony right now for the squad. I'd want to add Marcus Rashford but it seems like he's ready to up his game for the club. He's not getting any younger and should take responsibility seriously.

Having these players back would be good for him to select his first team and with no much games to play, they can focus week in and out on the Premier League, failing to qualify for the Champions League next season would not be a great idea. I do hope to see him elavate the squad upwards.
As per Jose Mourinho! I never took it seriously, Manchester United already had a taste of his Old fashioned tactics.

Jérôme Boateng had drama because of his personal life and this made him to lose many games in Bayern Munich and just is some games when they hardly needed to have him they used Jérôme Boateng and his performance was not good at all.
Now Jérôme Boateng is going to play for Salernitana and he left Bayern Munich after years of playing there.

Moving to Sportiva Salernitana, a new chapter open. Jerome Boateng is aged, he's lucky enough to lift major titles during his prime, played for one of the big team in Germany, earned his respect from the incredible contributions he made for the club. Jerome Boateng have completed his football career, he's one of the top defenders that could become tough time for attackers in bundesliga. He's experienced and have won major titles with Bayern Munich, moving to the Seria A side, it means he's just playing football till he retire, no longer ambitious as other players.

If Karim Benzema goes to Lyon, he can save Lyon.

I don't dare to say when he returns to Europe and joins one of the clubs in Europe it will make his performance even better. Because in my opinion it is still 50/50, he could have performed well or vice versa, and could have played mediocre.
The problem he faces in the Arab League is because he seems to be a scapegoat for the appearance of his club, he is considered unable to bring significant changes to the club he defends. I don't think that's fair on Benzema, because after all he plays as a team not as an individual, so I don't agree with blaming him for his team's poor performance.
It's a situation that might make him uncomfortable. I understand he makes a lot of money from his club, but it was also his club's decision to sign him last season.

During this winter AC Milan was about to hire Armando Broja from Chelsea and this could improve the team a lot but they couldn't do that because of the financial limitations.
Armando Broja played in 19 games for Cheslea so far and he scored two goals and had two assists but he also got injured and lost his place in Cheslea.
But with a 3.5 million euros offer Fulham could AC Milan and got Armando Broja for a loan.

Maybe they can try again at the end of a new season, They'll be needing a central forward who can replace Oliver Giroud sikce it'll be the last few weeks of his career and stay with the club.
He's been already linked with a club outside European Competitions and Football, I do doubt that Ac Milan board and management would want to see that deal extended.
The hunt for a new central forward continues and if they find him worthy enough he could be the next man from Chelsea moving to Ac Milan after Christian Pulisic and Loftus Cheek. These are player's who had Injury issues while playing for Chelsea but right now, they're undropabble.

Karim Benzema back to the European Competitions and Football might no longer happen. Assume them to be rumours.

It surprises me to see that how acmilan was targeting him. It's caused by broja's statistic was not so good and he rarely scored from so many matches. It appeared to me that AC Milan was considering the possibility of taking a gamble by showing interest in one of Chelsea's players. it's caused by acmilan was always consistently buying the former of chelsea player.
The club may be learning a lot from what happened to the pulisic and giroud. These guys were coming to the chelsea and they have been making a lot of contributions to the club and this may make acmilan thinks that it's still worthy to gamble on buying broja from chelsea.
It considers that he has cheap price and he was also till young enough. Broja can still be developed by the club and i think that these reasons are main consideration from acmilan to buy him as new player. Im feeling so damn good by seeing it.
It sounds like that acmilan has been trying so hard to get the new striker to replace giroud but there was no good candidate consider that so many strikers are having very expensive prices at this time. I think that milan sees broja as good alternative option for giroud.

Moving to Arsenal would not be possible, ask me why and I'd say that the January Transfer Window must have come to an end already and we'll never see such a task happening as much as iys already closed right now.
That club must be very adamant then, lol! A player has said he wants to leave why not look for the nearest ways to solve the situation for the both sides and parties.
They should respect the player and allow him leave. They will learn the hard way because, you cannot do nothing to hold down a player that wants to leave the club.

Marcus Rashford all grown but he's football ain't at a top level, he better sits up so he could be selected for the upcoming Euro's Competition.

I did a little research after you said that and saw the last day of the transfer window as February 1. Thank you for the information. I thought it like near mid February.  

In this case Benzema is staying until the end of the season. Because I have seen that the transfer window is closed for many top European league now. But at the end of the season it is really difficult for Al Ittihad to keep him at the team. I hope Benzema can manage to go to a team he would like. It would be lovely to see him in Europe again.  

[Pesona1]

It's not yet clear whether bayern wants premanent transfer or loan from chelsea but seeing this news was coming prove that if mudryk was not a bad player but he was only a lucky player.
I was rarely seeing that a player that played so average has been attracted so many

I think the bad luck that befell Mudryk is not over yet, because Bayern have withdrawn from their plans to sign Mudryk after Bayern managed to get Bryan Zaragoza from Granada, Bayern desire to recruit Mudryk has indeed become a strong issue, especially as many of Bayern forward players are currently injured, but it seems like Bryan Zaragoza is a better option than buying Mudryk from Chelsea, I really remember how Chelsea managed to get Mudryk when at that time Arsenal were also after him, in fact initially it was Arsenal who perhaps almost got Mudryk but the fantastic offer from Chelsea made Arsenal finally had to bite the bullet and become a mockery of Chelsea fans because they failed to get Mudryk, who at that time was said to be the Ukrainian Neymar, but now he has actually failed to fulfil Chelsea expectations, who spent almost 89 million euros, I think it was a good step for Bayern not to sign Mudryk because Indeed, currently Bayern Munich cannot gamble by recruiting players who are only able to score 4 goals in 41 matches, in terms of quality, Bryan Zaragoza is still better than Mudryk and most importantly, the price of Bryan Zaragoza is much cheaper than Mudryk.

[lizarder]

Xavi suffered from Barcelona rigid attitude toward new signing. It is whether they pick a player for free or for low cost or a swap deal or a loan. Of course the salary shouldn't be high too. They are acting like a broken team then they got angry when the coach fail to keep good results. They are lucky to be among the top 4 for long time!
Now the new coach will have to find a new strategy to boost the team results or end up being sacked too

Xavi is not comfortable being in conditions like this because it makes it difficult for him to develop players and I think conditions like this could make his coaching career worse if he has to survive the conditions faced by Barcelona. But there are times when surviving in conditions like this will make his name even more known, as long as he can bring the title to Barcelona. The current conditions make it impossible for Xavi to do that because they are in a condition where competitors are much stronger and it is difficult for Xavi to rotate players because in the squad there are no reserve players like the ones he needs.

The club's financial problems which are currently in trouble often have a negative influence and if Barcelona do not have options to resolve this problem then it is feared that they will get worse. Now they are out of contention for the La Liga title and it is possible that if this continues they will lose the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League even though Barcelona is currently in fourth place in the standings.

Well you say it is difficult to keep him, but who knows whether Al-Ittihad is really that interested in keeping him? He is doing alright, but it is not a special performance or anything that Al-Ittihad could not replace if Benzema decides to leave the club. I think they don't have to be concerned about his future plans. If he leaves, they could just replace him with an equally strong player from Europe for less money I think. He isn't one of the best players in the world anymore. Those times are over for him.

[coinlocket$]

According to serval newpaper in France it is basically ofcial.

Mbappè to Real Madrid from next year.

that's a reality that all professional football players have to accept, even though benzema is one of the balloon winners, he has to accept the fact that his performance at al ittihad is not as good as at real madrid.

al ittihad must be able to find the best solution so that they don't lose a lot of money, well they have already spent quite a lot of money to buy benzema, of course not playing it is a big loss.

[topbitcoin]

Well, it's not that strange because even though Barcelona is a big club, there are other priorities to think about when it comes to the future of a young player's career because after all, apart from money, there is a condition where young players also need guarantees in this regard.

Barcelona's financial problems are still very complex and will be very difficult to solve so in this case it will definitely be a problem especially for young players if they do not have certain conditions at the club.
In addition, the competition at Tottenham will be a little easier when compared to Barcelona because after all we can know that until now Barcelona is a big club to be in the senior dquad rather than having to let themselves be in limbo in the academy.
He's still young enough that even if Tottenham's club performance isn't the best, the decision to be at Totte ham rather than Barcelona could be the right one.

Barcelona's performance are not even encouraging, they're behind their usual style of play. This definitely isn't the usual Barcelona of past seasons. Their performance hasn't really been encouraging and even though they're a better side technically to other teams, it's just a number of uncertainties that are present. The players and management teams aren't really at their best and it has to be corrected.

 In the round of 16, they are up against a tough opponent, they've got enough weeks to prepare hard and build strong confidence ahead. They really can't afford to take a bow out of the contest at this stage. Although it's unpredictable but they're definitely boasted of to scale through and they have the right player quality too. Just a bit of increase in performance is needed. Although, their games in the coming weeks are definitely awaited.

I don't see their style of play differing in this regard as I still feel that Xavi continues to do his usual tiki taka scheme for Barcelona only that tiki taka is now a double-edged knife.
Indeed tiki taka is a very good condition and pattern of attack for Barcelona because it is a very annoying scheme for the opponent. but on the other hand this also requires the chemistry and skill of the players above average.

The current tiki taka for Barcelona is not working well unlike their golden era because the quality of the players is not able to make the scheme more alive so they only try to control the ball without any increase in terms of performance.

Xavi cannot force this because with a less than perfect tiki taka, the opponents faced by Barcelona have a gap to tear down the tiki taka scheme that was very scary in the past few seasons.

But at the end of the season it is really difficult for Al Ittihad to keep him at the team. I hope Benzema can manage to go to a team he would like. It would be lovely to see him in Europe again.  

Benzema is under a 2 and half contract with Al-Ittihad and that means, if he wanted to live it must be on a good terms with th club, it's not like he is yet a free players and beside, Saudi Professional Leagues don't have transfer window except when it's September and July but since he is coming to Europe and they have there's open in the January, he had an option to live under normal condition with Al-Ittihad management, not the reported beef going on with him and the club.

I don't even think it's a good idea for Benzema to trash his image to come back to Europe. No any club in Europe that will give him wages like he is getting it swiftly in Saudi Arabia. The league is also not as competitive like we have in Europe which means he is going to be spending less energy there and him been a Muslim will be another win for him. If the club is what he want to switch, it's better he wait for July to move to another Saudi Arabia club.

[temple]

I think basically Xavi wanted to achieve success with Barcelona, but now the situation has changed in many ways, and there is no one to blame in my opinion. When Xavi feels it is time to leave, then that is a choice that must be respected by everyone, likewise we must respect the decision of club officials if they cannot make things better. I think the financial crisis that hit Barcelona is indeed a factor in the decline at the moment, but it is not felt by Barcelona alone. However, because Barcelona is one of the rulers of La Liga, they receive more attention when they experience a decline in performance.

Xavi has made a decision, and what is clear is that he will finish this season with maximum effort, at least being able to make Barcelona lock in a ticket to the Champions League next season. There will always be ups and downs in performance, what Barcelona is experiencing can also happen to other clubs, and that doesn't mean Barcelona will continue to be in this situation forever.

The question came up whether Xavi now still has the authority and the respect from the players that is necessary to finish the season on the best level possible and I think asking that question is more than justified. If everyone knows that Xavi is gone by the end of the season, it can severely undermine the players' attitude and motivation to show their best because they don't have to fear any consequences from Xavi if they play bad. The worst that can happen is that they will be put on the bench, but that's it. Next year there will be a new coach and a new start for everyone.

It is very different from Liverpool where all the players love the coach and they will give their everything for him. This is not the same in Barcelona: The players don't really like Xavi that much and they probably are looking forward to get rid of him.

According to serval newpaper in France it is basically ofcial.

Mbappè to Real Madrid from next year.

Forget the fact that he said no or didn't respond when Real Madrid cam knocking on hid door, it'll not be wise to miss out on a player like Kylian Mbappe, with all these brilliance, intelligence, scoring abilities and pace, I see what Real Madrid be cooking, they're creating a team of mass destruction for next season football.

We've had predictions about his move to Real Madrid already. The president and head coach of Real Madrid has just been professional not to talk about a player with contract to another club.
One thing I do hope is for them to add the signature of Alphonso Davies and Alexander Arnold ( Even if he's such a lazy right fullback )

At least Xavi Hernandez has something to be remembered for, he's been a good legend bit this season hasn't favor him.
