⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[tusandii]

Xavi Alonso is having a great season. He could revolutionize the Bundesliga by making Bayer Leverkusen champions this season. Undoubtedly, many elite teams will want to sign him at the end of the season. But since Xavi Alonso has played for Liverpool and Real Madrid in the past, it is unlikely that he will work for Barcelona or Chelsea. Maybe if he works for Real Madrid or Liverpool and then one day he is unemployed and teams like Barcelona offer him a transfer, then he could work there.

When a coach is in a good position and leading an elite squad, rival top clubs begin planning massive offers to terminate his contract. Xabi Alonso will not pursue a move to elite teams; instead, he will remain at Bayer Leverkusen, where he has made significant strides forward. The board and supporters are behind him and will support whatever decision he makes because he performs exceedingly well in matches. With today's superb victory over Bayern Munich, I cannot envision any club now hindering Bayer Leverkusen from reaching their primary objective.

Though we have seen the cases of so many good coaches who started very well in small clubs been hijacked by top clubs who offer them huge contracts which they find it difficult to reject because of the history of the club and the name they will end up making in their profile being the coach of the club. The issue of Xabi Alonso leaving his current club Bayer Leverkusen where he has made good name for him self is still a rumour because he's more concerned right now is helping his team to get the league which they are half way to getting as they trashed their rivals Bayern Munich 3:0 in their game today to extend their gap to 5 points.

So many clubs may be interested in getting the young coach in their team but it's his decision to choose to remain in a club where he has made history or to accept the offer of joining another club.

It's surprising to see that a young manager of Xabi Alonso's few years of managerial experience can significantly improve a Bayer Leverkusen team and make them the most formidable German Bundesliga team in such a short period of time that he was able to achieve everything he's achieved but what's even more surprising that his Bayer Leverkusen team is actually convincingly beating a star studded Bayern Munich team like they did tonight.
Bayer Leverkusen's win tonight sees them go unbeaten in 31 games in all competition and that I think makes Xabi Alonso one of the best managers in Europe top five leagues at the moment. What I don't know is if Bayer Leverkusen management can keep him at the club beyond the end of the current season but whatever happens, the Spanish manager is keen on making sure he wins the league title this season for his club and I think he's gonna achieve that feat

From the conclusion you said, it can be seen what the future holds for Xabi who will remain at Bayer Leverkusen and it very unlikely that other clubs such as chelsea or Liverpool will be able to bring  coach like Xabi because he has the aim of getting higher title the coming season..
It true that no one knows what will happen the future, but with the success that Xabi has had with Leverkusen, xabi has become more comfortable and enthusiastic to try bigger challenges, he can bring Leverusen to get the title the Champions league and this season Xabi target to get the title at UEL to be able to get his first success at Leverkusen.

In the meantime, for few more seasons, as has been mentioned, some people who really want xabi have to be patient waiting for him to leave Leverkusen and after that they can make an offer to become a coach at certain club.
Any club in the future that will be second place after Leverkusen will be very lucky to get Xabi because the future of club will definitely be better.

Enzo Fernandez said that he wants to leave Chelsea and join Barcelona the next year.

What a disaster for Chelsea, over 1 bilion spent, for nothing.

Yes, according to the news circulating, Enzo Fernandez doesn't feel at home at Chelsea because this big club is going through a bad period in the last 2 seasons. Chelsea has been struggling in the middle of the standings, every effort has been made by Chelsea to buy several players at high prices like when Chelsea brought in Enzo Fernandez from Benfiqa for more than 100 million but he did not appear at all impressive in the Premier League so it was a waste for Chelsea as well as several of the other young players Chelsea recruited they also did not perform optimally therefore Chelsea spent too much money but there is no progress at all.

If I'm not mistaken, Enzo Fernandez's contract with Chelsea is still up to 2031, so it's impossible for Enzo Fernandez to leave if Chelsea terminates not his contract. Moreover, offering himself to Barcelona doesn't necessarily mean that Barcelona will be interested because the price is quite expensive given Barcelona's current financial condition. Especially because his potential is still mediocre for a player and not that impressive so any club will think long and hard about signing him, he should stay at Chelsea until another club can afford him, but definitely not Barcelona.

[Velvet78]

Since Xavi is going to leave Barcelona soon, there are some coaches linked to this team and there is some news about some coaches and famous people they getting close to working in Barcelona, and maybe they can have the chance to save the team. However, since they don't have a good financial situation they don't have many options. But the weird news about Barcelona is Xabi Alonso is also linked to this team and while he is under contract with Leverkusen and he can't be cheap for Barcelona I don't know who people think Xabi is going to work for Barcelona because he is also a former player of Real Madrid.

https://www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com/en/transfers/controversial-option-barca-could-be-interested-in-xabi-alonso_300693_102.html

Xabi Alonso is like being linked with every big team which are preparing to part their ways with their current managers. 

Liverpool and Barcelona are the ones I have heard of so far. Who knows maybe Bayern Munich might also attend them if they don't manage to become champions in the Bundesliga this season. But it is said at the same time that Xabi Alonso is planning to have another year with Leverkusen. If this is true it would be heart-breaking for the teams interested in him while he is this much impressive.

[rendravolt]

Antonio Conte was in Rome but at this point, I doubt he will join them since DeRossi is doing great.

For me he will be at Juventus or Milan the next year

For now, De Rossi is able to provide good results for Roma, but we also don't know whether next season there will be a change in coach or not and if that is possible, Conte could become Roma's new coach. However, even if there is another team from the two you mentioned, it is possible that it could go to Milan because this team sometimes needs a change in terms of coach and even though Stefano Pioli is still said to be quite good, they cannot compete for the Scudetto.

As for Juventus, Allegri actually still has the capacity to be a good coach and this season's competition with Inter also makes his fate quite safe without pressure from the Juventus owner. However, it would be an extraordinary thing if Conte managed Juventus and he returned to his youth club while he was still a professional football player. However, Conte is a good coach and I hope he can find a new home at his new club.

Enzo Fernandez said that he wants to leave Chelsea and join Barcelona the next year.

Hmm, that's dope bor that Barcelona are going to sign Enzo Fernandez. But anyway I am so skeptical about how Barcelona will sign him because he is too expensive and Barcelona already has some financial critisis. So I think it's going to be so difficult to convince Chelsea of a low tag price, but I think this transfer is too much harder for Barcelona because they have no money Haha.
 
But anyway, if let's assume this transfer happens, the Barcelona midfielder will be considered to be good, and the club will meet a proper standard in midfield, and they will give al his best performance. Firstly Barcelona need to do more emphasis on bringing in a new Coach like whose style of play is totally different from the current tactics of Barcelona, and Barcelona needs to bring in a new coach who has a new mindset, like someone who is new to creating some crosses game, counterattacks, or direct fast passes. So I think it'll be good for Barcelona because of the current tactics everyone knows, and And everyone already has a crack at them.
 
Therefore, Barcelona should pay attention to the players rather than the coaches

[Oluwa-btc]

Roberto De Zebri and Hansi Flick are the two name's called to replace Xavi Hernandez immediately he leaves Barcelona at the end of the season.

If you ask me; I would say I am excited that Barcelona wants to hire Roberto de zebri and Hansi Flick to replace Xavi, why? Because I just want to see the downfall of that team hahaha

Both coaches cannot perform with the pressure at this he camp nou, Xavi is haunted after winning the league with that poor squad; I can bet that de zebri and flick cannot outperform Xavi.

Will be excited if The club hires them anyways

Why would one pray for the downfall of another? Why not channel same energy into seeing the betterment of your club? Look for something better to do lol.
Are you also implying that they're both poor coaches? ( Roberto De Zerbi and Hansi  Flick? )One is a treble winner with Bayern Munich and the other know best for his great positional plays and build up from the back.  No trophy to back him for his great tactics  yet.

Hansi would want already made players,  Roberto De Zerbi can work with the players from La Ma Sia. Now considering the fact that Barcelona struggling financially,  they're definitely going for Roberto De Zerbi.
We've see how good he has done with this players in Brighton already and most of them are younger players. Same strategy would work with Barcelona.

Xabi Alonso is like being linked with every big team which are preparing to part their ways with their current managers. 

Liverpool and Barcelona are the ones I have heard of so far. Who knows maybe Bayern Munich might also attend them if they don't manage to become champions in the Bundesliga this season. But it is said at the same time that Xabi Alonso is planning to have another year with Leverkusen. If this is true it would be heart-breaking for the teams interested in him while he is this much impressive.

Except Xavi Alonso has some personal reason to leave Leverkusen, I don't think there is any need to leave especially if they win the Bundesliga. The club has some of the best players currently in Europe and it seems he is enjoying a good relationship with the management of the club. If they win the German league they will be able to play in the UEFA Champions League next season which is the dream of every too coach.

For me, it will be better if he remains with Leverkusen and builds one of the best sides in Europe. They are already making history being the only unbeaten club in Europe and the team still has the potential to make more marks. He would become a super legend in the club if he damns all the temptations to leave and remain with Leverkusen.

There's a new rumor is coming up again.

Kylian Mbappe could end up turning down a move to Real Madrid again in order to sign a new contract at PSG, with the French champions willing to pay him €160m over the course of a fresh two-year deal. (AS - Spain)

https://www.90min.com/posts/football-transfer-rumours-mbappe-de-jong-11-2-2024

We have seen that how real madrid has been strongly linked to the mbappe but everything changed when people were getting tired with mbappe's drama. It was also making so many noises that were disrupting the public. There are many fake news being made by non responsible parties.
The most recent news states that Mbappe has received a significant offer from PSG, as reported by sources. In order to retain his services, the club was prepared to offer him the opportunity to remain at PSG for approximately 2 more years.

The chance of mbappe to continue to play in the PSG is just going very high caused by this offer can also disrupt real madrid's chance to get him from PSG.
I have heard that real madrid's offer was not making mbappe feel convenient for it. madrid shall try to give better offer to recruit him to join in the club. There will be more news to come in the future.

Mbappe and real madrid are always becoming the hottest topic but there was no clarification regarding how good the progress that is happening between him and real madrid. I don't like the way of mbappe treating real madrid like it was begging on him to join.
Mbappe needs to make everything clear as soon as possible. This is going to be very interesting thing.

It will be a difficult consideration for Xabi Alonso, on the one hand he will leave the club that raised his name, on the other hand he certainly also wants a better club. I don't mean to say Leverkusen is not a bad club, but when compared to Liverpool for example, of course Liverpool is bigger.
But if he still wants to continue something with Leverkusen, surely he will choose to stay at least 1 more season to be able to try to show that he can be consistent in handling a club. Of course the offers that come to him will be more and more now following his performance with Leverkusen is very good, especially with their success in defeating Bayern Mnuich which is their main competitor in the fight for the Bundesliga title. The season is still quite long, he should focus on Leverkusen and finish the job this season.

It looks like Brighton will still be a business club this summer because they intend to sell Kaoru Mitoma and there are enough interested parties to secure the services of this Japanese player. From Barcelona, Manchester City, Manchester United, to Chelsea are interested in signing him and I think this will be another competition for big European clubs to get Kaoru Mitoma's signature.

But I think that currently the ones who really need Kaoru Mitoma are teams like Barcelona and Chelsea considering that these two teams don't have a very good left winger. But I doubt Brighton will let Kaoru Mitoma go for a cheap price and we know EPL teams are usually very unreasonable when raising their prices when there are big teams interested. So if there is a team that can bring Kaoru Mitoma, it is Chelsea with its financial strength, but I also doubt whether Kaoru Mitoma is interested in playing in Chelsea's conditions like this.

Xabi Alonso has caught everyone's attention with his performance this season. I think his career will always be very bright but this season could be the peak of his career. Right now he has the chance to take charge of any team he wants. He should use this chance while he has it. If he stays at Bayer Leverkusen for one more season, he might have a worse season in sporting terms next year. In that case, his popularity would diminish and he might lose some of the chances he has today.

Nah, Xabi Alonso should leave Leverkusen in the next summer because Leverkusen won't have a same luck like in this season. If we look on the history, when a mediocre team can perform extraordinary, the next season they will back to default even though they didn't change the manager and they didn't lose any players.

There's no point for him to stay with Leverkusen for the next season when he has a chance to move to other teams.

[FanEagle]

Barcelona is not really that type of team where we are talking about a big "demise" of them, they are big enough that they have income from not only from transfers that they make from their youth setup players being sold for a good amount, but also a team that keeps getting money from both la liga and also UCL and also fans as well from ticket sales.

It's clear that the gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid looks getting wider, but last year Barcelona won the league, just because they lost it this year doesn't mean they suck. I think they will do fine eventually and that means we are going to get better and better eventually, that is the most important part of their development, it will take some time but they will be better.

[len01]

Not only poor, but Barcelona is a mediocre team.

I disagree if you said Barcelona as a mediocre team.
Barcelona is still one of the strong teams in La Liga. If they are a mediocre team, they won't play in UCL. 

Xavi will leave soon, there's no good manager want to put dedication for Barcelona and don't mind to get paid less.

Barcelona management isn't patient, they want an instant result although they have no ability to win any title instantly. If they keep Xavi, I think Xavi can bring another title for the next season. I don't know why Barcelona management seems too hurry to replace Xavi with a new coach for the next season. Yes, no top coaches who want to get a less salary there. So, it is very doubtful that Barcelona can get Xavi's replacement with a quality manager/coach.

this is the umpteenth time I have read other people's opinions saying that Barcelona is a mediocre team.
even though they only judge Barcelona only from the negative side but don't look at the other side about its current achievements and I have to support you that Barcelona is not a mediocre team because this team is not a team that failed whereas not only in the UCL but in La Liga Barcelona can still have hope to overtake Girona and become runners up this season.
and currently Barcelona has had a slight improvement after losing performance but is now trying to return to the performance like at the start of last season where the performance was very good without disappointing the Barcelona fans.

and regarding Xavi who will leave Barcelona, it doesn't look like that will happen because for me it's just a rumor because Barcelona management certainly understands very well that the team's finances are experiencing a bad situation and if they fire Xavi, it will definitely be a big disaster because there is no experienced coach who wants to received a small offer but had to be responsible for managing Barcelona which was short of players.
so for me it will never happen and hope that management will not make this ridiculous mistake.

With Xabi Alonso current reputation interest from giant clubs will be very promising, especially at the end of the season there will definitely be lots of offers to be had. Leverkusen themselves will not hold back if Xabi Alonso leaves because from the start they realized that their coach had shown quality. In the Bundesliga, winning a trophy is in sight, whether Leverkusen becomes champion or not Xabi Alonso still gets praise. Leverkusen last season we knew their position in the standings was almost threatened so if they could save Leverkusen that would be more than enough. Liverpool is a suitable place for Xabi, not only as a big club, but there he will have a squad that is better able to implement his playing system.

Will be excited if The club hires them anyways

Me too lol. I would like to see zerbi to handle barcelona. it will make barcelona goes from the top to the middle class of club. Be patience my friend, barcelona is a poor club right now. it has no money to comply with FFP nor buy the new player. So, it's only matter of time until barcelona will be going down to the ground again.
Zerbi was a flop in EPL this season and he will be very suitable to be barcelona's coach. I don't see a better option other than him right now. Zerbi or hansi flick will able to help barcelona to perform even worst than before.

I hope laporta will be rushing to take the decision to hire the new coach as soon as possible. There will be no more competitor for real madrid to dominate la liga this season. The mismanagement has been hurting the club alot.

He would become a super legend in the club if he damns all the temptations to leave and remain with Leverkusen.

I also think so, if Alonso had stayed at Leverkusen then he would have been easier to make his name into a legend than if he had moved to another big team, especially now that Leverkusen can be called the strongest team in the Bundesliga, even Bayern can't beat them. Surely Alonso will easily become a legend who revives Leverkusen.
Currently Liverpool and Manchester United are rumored to be trying to get Alonso, this is a decision that should be asked because the two teams above are definitely offering fantastic money.

Regarding will be success or not with Bayern Leverkusen in this season winning domestic league or Europe League I don't think he wll stay until his contract over and make his name in the legend list of Leverkusen manager.
Has decision get more challenge become top teams manager such as Liverpool and Barcelona are interested for signing Alonso,
I believe Xabi Alonso will leave Bayern Leverkusen next season if Barcelona and Liverpool want to show him as new manager next season.
So far, Xabi Alonso is the only one of European team manager keep unbeaten and get chance invisible for winning domestic league in this season after playing 21 matches without losses.

[borovichok]

Right now he has the chance to take charge of any team he wants. He should use this chance while he has it. If he stays at Bayer Leverkusen for one more season, he might have a worse season in sporting terms next year. In that case, his popularity would diminish and he might lose some of the chances he has today.

Bayer Leverkusen's success and untainted record today are the result of the board's wise decision to hire Xabi Alonso as head coach. Since the start of the 2023/2024 Bundesliga season, he has demonstrated terrific potential and is capable of advancing to the elite games. Some reports abound that Xabi Alonso is the luckiest manager in football right now; however, I disagree because Xabi Alonso never gives up and ensures he uses his finest skills in matches. Xabi Alonso's current fantastic numbers have resulted in massive bids from elite teams; all he needs to do now is carefully consider these offers and make the best option possible.

I think they will do fine eventually and that means we are going to get better and better eventually, that is the most important part of their development, it will take some time but they will be better.

I guess it is true that just because they lost doesn't mean they suck. But they are definitely losing this season and they definitely suck this season. The performances were expected to be far better. I know maybe people are expecting a lot because they are not in a very good financial situation right now and they are also having a little bit of trouble with the coaching position as well. I believe it is probably not pretty reasonable to expect Barcelona to win back to back La Liga titles under such circumstances. But we could definitely expect better performance compared to what they are showing right now.
