⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[bering]

Can’t lie, I’m disappointed Alonso isn’t going to take over from Klopp. I assume he thinks he will get the Real Madrid job when Ancelotti retires. Big risk though imo, if Leverkusen have a crap season Real will move for somebody else, the owe Alonso nothing.

In life sometimes you have to take a big opportunity if it comes your way. There is no guarantee Leverkusen will be good next season and if they’re not his career will be on a knife edge.

Immediately I got the news of him staying at Bayern Leverkusen I thought just as you he certainly having a wait for the Real Madrid job which can be open to him if the current contract with Ancelloti who is heavily link to Brazil still isn’t extended. It’s a risk as you have said but i definitely agree with him not on the side of waiting for Madrid but because at Bayern Leverkusen he would have enough time to perfect his craft (tactics). Going to any of the current clubs available is way too risky because the expectations will be high most especially after this stellar performance.

It looks like Xabi Alonso feels he is not ready just yet and needs a more calm place like Bayer Leverkusen to grow and I hope he achieves his target. More so I happy he isn’t going to Liverpool because they are rival and having a Xabi Alonso as opposition is going to be big

Finally the speculation about Xabi Alonso future is over that he has decide to stayed at Leverkusen for at least 1 more season and it's quite dissapointing because as Liverpool fans i want to see him to being an the replacement of Klopp who decide to leave after this season ended and one of the main reason why Alonso has decide to stayed in Leverkusen is because he still new to handle Leverkusen and Alonso feel this is not the right time to moved to big teams such as Liverpool or Bayern Munich so he doesn't want to taking the risk

This is good news for Leverkusen because Alonso still at the team for much longer and obviously this season Leverkusen will gets the trophies under him but i am curious for next season whether Leverkusen is still the same as this season or not however about Liverpool and Bayern Munich after this news was appears then automatically they will look for new managers instead of Xabi Alonso and for Bayern Munich they considering the former manager of Manchester United Ralf Rangnick and for Liverpool i was found two names as the strong candidate for the replacement of Klopp such as Roberto De Zerbi and Sporting manager Rúben Amorim and about Rúben Amorim his achievement with Sporting was very impressive because he can bringing Sporting to gets Portugal league trophy and this season this team is still compete with Benfica for race title

I want to say the opposite of what you are saying. It is not an ambitious decision. Xabi understands his role as a young manager, and he is unwilling to accept greater duties when he coaches a larger club than Leverkusen. I don't think it's an ambitious decision. Xabi is only looking to avoid putting himself under a lot of pressure as a young manager to the big club. I'm sure you understand how much pressure comes with becoming a manager for a big club like Munich or Liverpool. More fans, a larger target, more responsibility, and much more.

Imo, this is Xabi's main reason for staying at Leverkusen. Everything requires a process, mate. You can't really imagine jumping from 10 to 100 in an instant. It will only add to his workload as a big club coach. I support this decision, and Xabi is gradually but steadily progressing to the next level, despite the fact that managing the big club does not happen overnight. I can't deny that if he succeeds as a manager for a big club, he will get everything, but that isn't what Xabi needs in his career. Trust the process, and I'm sure this is his philosophy.

Rather, I think that he and his team have built something over the last two years. They created the team and environment to win three titles this year. This is extraordinary. Why should he give up on that now and not reap the fruits of his labor? He will play in the CL with Leverkusen next season and the club is in a very good financial position and will get a lot more money than in recent years through the national championship title, national cup and international successes, which means that they can keep the top performers and get even more signings can strengthen. He shouldn't just give up on all of this. That's why he made the right decision to extend the contract by one year.

It seems that the rumors about Xabi Alonso joining Livepool or Bayern are fake. Alonso will stay in Leverkuzen for another season.
The favorites for a new Liverpool manager are Roberto De Zerbi and Ruben Amorim from Sporting Lisbon.

No, the rumours are not fake. Xabi Alonso was touted by Bayern Munich and Liverpool; and rightly the manager has decided to dismiss the Liverpool interest. He is just having a great statrt to managerial life, Liverpool is a burden too soon for the Bayer coach.

In my opinion, i think Xabi Alonso is better off staying in the Bundesliga either with Bayer or Bayern Munich.

When a coach experiences success for the first time, will they still stay at the club?
Yes, of course a coach who is successful in getting good results at one of these clubs helps get the best title that has never been achieved, Xabi Alonso will definitely stay.
So what if Xabi was given an offer to become coach for Bayern Munich?
It seems like Leverkusen and Bayern Munich are popular clubs that are very professional, so whatever happens, Bayer will definitely not let Xabi go to Bayern Munich, which will jeopardize Leverkusen achievements in the coming season on the grounds that Xabi must already know the weaknesses of the strategy he used for Leverkusen.
For me, this news will all just be rumors.

It's normal for people to speculate. I know that if Xabi Alonso comes to Bayern Munich, it will be good news for him. Bayern sees Xabi Alonso as the perfect candidate to take over coach Thomas Tuchel's hot seat. But that's just like he's betraying the team he's leading. Therefore, I believe that Xabi Alonso will stay at Leverkusen in the 2024/25 season despite receiving offers from many top European teams. Signing Xabi Alonso will be very difficult, which may be almost impossible. Now is not the time to talk about the future. Xabi Alonso wants to develop further with Leverkusen. Everything has become clear. One of the reasons for keeping Xabi Alonso at Leverkusen is that his contract with this team is still valid. Assuming he has two or three more successful years with Leverkusen, then perhaps it will be easier to recruit him away from the club.

Yes, that's what I mean when Xabi Alonso received a big offer from Bayern Munich, Xabi could have accepted the offer but the problem is it's not just about the big offer but Xabi reputation is at stake in this matter because if Xabi moves to Bayern Munich there will definitely be a lot of people saying Xabi is simply a traitor to Leverkusen and caused Xabi reputation to become very bad.
Meanwhile, currently this great coach is in the midst of his first success, he could break a record in history, break Bayern Munich's dominance and could win the title at UEL and these rumors are true, Leverkusen fans will definitely criticize Xabi as a traitor.
But I'm sure that will never happen on the other hand he is a coach who has a very good policy so he can consider the long term and prefer to get a higher title with Leverkusen for 1 more season.

Manchester United are chasing Dani Olmo who has a release clause of 60 million euros which can be activated from this summer.

Several teams are interested in the player and they are always the same ones, the only ones with the money
Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea.

Several teams have implemented the strategy of imposing low enough clauses to generate safe profits after Covid19, especially teams without a good liquidity of money.

not only you, i am also very disappointed with the decision taken by alonso.

The decision has been made, Xabi Alonso has one more season at Leverkusen

as a liverpool fan, i am sure that alonso will make liverpool even greater than it is now, because if alonso succeeds in making a team like liverpool invincible then with a squad as good as the one he has liverpool, for sure he will make it even greater.  Alonso is a coach who is highly sought after by almost all the big European teams at the moment, what he has done at Liverpool has truly amazed everyone.

The recent performances he has shown have definitely drawn some attention. I saw him play a couple of times for Spain and in some games for Leipzig and he is really someone who can make a difference. It is not surprising that many of the big teams are after him. Since he has that release clause in his contract, I am sure that he won't be playing for Leipzig next summer.

Kimmich and Tuchel don't seem to get on very well together so it's possible he's thinking more about his future at Bayern but I think he'll still be able to make the squad with Tuchel's current uncertain state where if Tuchel fails to retain the Bundesliga trophy then he's gone from Bayern because being sacked is very strong in terms of possibility so this could be a favourable thing for Kimmich.

Tuchel is not very good at managing Bayern and he is still given a chance but it doesnt rule out the possibility that when the final results this season do not match expectations then Bayern will kick Tuchel without giving him further opportunities because indeed from the beginning Tuchel's way of working with his firm leadership style and in accordance with the rules he holds does not really match the philosophy that Bayern has always upheld.

Kimmichcurrent situation in Munich is no longer uncertain and reportedly he wants to leave Munich at the end of the season, currently Kimmich contract until 2025 and Munich continues to try to extend his contract but reportedly Kimmich is reluctant to continue his work with Munich, about the inaccuracy you said is actually not with Tuchel, but Kimmich is currently feud with Tuchel assistant which makes Kimmich feel uncomfortable playing in munchen.

Currently Barcelona, Madrid, Manchester City and Manchester United are interested in signing him, but the price pegged to recruit Kimmich is quite large at 60 million euros, it is natural that Munich set such a high price because Kimmich's performance so far has been quite good in Munich so far after being recruited from Leipzig in 20015.
Regarding Tuchel's future, it looks like this season will be Tuchel's last season in Munich, now Munich provides an opportunity for Tuchel to win the Champions League trophy to consider his future in Munich, and if Tuchel fails of course he will leave the Allianz Arena at the end of the season, currently Alonso who continues to be linked with Munich has stated staying at Leverkusen and maybe Munich will look for other coaching candidates or even their will change their minds by keeping tuchel next season, it will be interesting to see at the end of the season story about munchen and tuchel.

Real Madrid appears to be looking for an alternative right back to join the club  as Liverpool's TAA situation becomes even more complicated liverpool tries also to hijack real madrid's attacker use its right back which is injury now. Madrid does not want to be trapped by Liverpool because Liverpool was willing to exchange TAA for Rodrygo, which is not worth it for Real Madrid given that finding good strikers is more difficult than finding good defenders and liverpool tried to use this opportunity to recruit real madrid's fully develop striker like rodrygo.
Dani olmo has become a very good solution for Real Madrid, given that he is still actively playing for Leipzig and has previously been targeted by Manchester City. I've seen him play as a midfielder, but it would surprise me if he played as a right back this time.

Real Madrid is looking for a new RB because the current one isn't as good as everyone thinks and the club must have made more improvements in order to prepare a perfect and balanced squads to win the upcoming seasons. Madrid is attempting to rebuild its club in order to return to its former glory like what happened a few years ago. It appeared to me that Perez and Ancellotti are truly committed to building a good club by tried to find some additional players to strengthen the defensive line. This is a long term project initiated by perez and ancellotti which is good.
I meant that Madrid is good now, but it isn't balanced. The attacking line performs far better than the defensive line, which creates a gap. It's not even good for the club, given that Real Madrid is attempting to build another great club like Los Galacticos.

 Real Madrid has even been performing at their best with a stable defense in the team, then we think of how much more they'd perform if they eventually get an extra charge to their defense line. Left for me, they're doing just fine with the current defense. They've in the team a lot of youngsters that are doing excellent in their general balling ability and most definitely Alphonso Davies would have been a beautiful addition.

 Well before now, Davies was a prospect but since Ancelloti has said for now he won't be making any change to his squad and he's comfortable with them and also the move didn't really work, I believe they have what it takes to get the species of defense they want in the team and the team's commitment and bond would really boost their results.

 Real Madrid's midfield is very much solid, they've got good hands in charge, the likes of Luka, Bellingham, Kroos and others. Luka and Kroos have been older in the team and they've mastered all the tactics and techniques of Ancelloti. They're more or less the leaders and they're coordinating other bodies well. They're literally a good example too. They've been able to be the support the young players need to push and forge further.
 
 For Bellingham, he's been a potential asset to the team, a trained midfielder, performing perfectly in the forward position. He's now become a versatile player and that's one quality that a coach really craves for in his team and every player needs to activate in themselves that skill too. Real Madrid still has lots of exploits to do with these boys and the coach is the right man for the job in grooming them into better men for the future Madrid.

Can’t lie, I’m disappointed Alonso isn’t going to take over from Klopp. I assume he thinks he will get the Real Madrid job when Ancelotti retires. Big risk though imo, if Leverkusen have a crap season Real will move for somebody else, the owe Alonso nothing.

Yes it is a big risk, but i am pretty sure Alonso has thought it over and weighed all the odds before taking this decision. Xabi Alonso wants to test himself for at least one more season in Bayern Leverkusen, it might not be successful, but it is the same way he could take over at Liverpool or Bayern Munich and fail in his first season or even longer.

Next season Leverkusen are going to play CL football, and they will be the defending champions in the league. Alonso does not have to win a title in his second season, he just has to keep Leverkusen at a good level and also keep himself attractive to the big clubs. If he is a really good manager and this season isn't just a fluke, he is definitely going to join a big club sooner rather than later.

[marcous]

I also read from the same report, namely Fabrizio Romano. he reported several tweets, which suggested that Alonso would stay with Bayer Leverkusen. quote that a few hours ago, Xabi Alonso had a good meeting with Bayer Leverkusen and told them that he will stay and remain at the club. which means Alonso won't be going anywhere next summer, whether it's to Bayern Munich or Liverpool. Alonso remains with Leverkusen, he even said that this is not the time to decide his future, he wants to develop at Bayer Leverkusen.

If this report happens to be legit, then this is a very nice decision made by Alonso, being in haste to leave Bayern Leverkusen after building such a formidable team wouldn't make sense, at least he should spend one or two more seasons with the club because going to another club after the season ends, he would have to start building a team with that new club and this isn't something easy to because you need to master things with the new club, even sometimes it might even take a couple of years before some coaches gets to understand things with their new clubs, and if it happens to be an impatient club like that of Chelsea who don't normally have patient with their manager, he will be sacked almost immediately if there are no results with the team.

Big teams like Bayern or Liverpool certainly apply high standards to their managers, where management will always demand Xabi to provide trophies every season. Xabi certainly understands this well, so staying at Leverkusen for another season or two could give him a better experience. Apart from that, next season Xabi and his fleet will play in the Champions League, which will certainly give him a better experience.

It's true, if Xabi decides to leave for another club, of course he needs time to adapt, Xabi is required to adjust his strategy and build chemistry with his new squad. At Laverkusen everything has been formed, Xabi only needs to add depth to the squad for next season, and no longer needs a lot of time to prepare everything.

The news that Xabi will stay next season with Leverkusen seems to be official, especially if Fabrizio Romano has indicated it. However, what is clear is that next season will be more difficult to navigate than this season, where the unbeaten record they created this season will be very difficult for them to surpass. Apart from that, Bayern will certainly improve their squad so they can dominate the Bundesliga again.

Mixed reactions are coming after his statement about staying at Bayer Leverkusen for another season but with huge setback for the Liverpool fans because they were sure about him to join this club as Jürgen Klopp is leaving after the end of this season, but it's not happening I have feeling he thinks he can't handle this spot in early stage of his career and having another season in Bundesliga with going into Champions League will give him good experience and then he could be able to have better decision in next season.
Real Madrid is going to have spot in 2026 which is still long time but about his next destination after this one season is surely going to be interesting predictions in coming months but right now I have feeling he has done wrong decision for staying at this club for another season.

Since PSG knows they are going to lose Mbappe and this player won't be is PSG for the next season, they are trying hard to find alternative players for their team. Even there are some players linked to PSG for the next season. PSG can find players from teams like Barcelona because the players there don't have a good financial situation and by spending som more money they can hire players from Barcelona like Yamal, even Vini was linked to PSG for the next season.
Currently, the closest player is Rafael Leão, the 24-year-old player of AC Milan. Even they asked Enrique about Rafael Leão.
But Ac Milan doesn't want to lose Rafael Leão easily and that's why Giorgio Furlani the CEO of AC Milan said, they want 175 million euros for Leão and he said the price for Leão seems fair enough.

I find it funny that Premier League fans think they are so superior. Bayer Leverkusen are better than many Premier League teams, Xabi Alonso is not doing anything wrong by staying there. With a trophy or trophies to lift this year, they will have a bigger budget next season and can also progress in the Champions League. I respect Xabi Alonso's decision and I support him, it's great that he is so committed to the club. I'm sure their fans would love this decision.

In life sometimes you have to take a big opportunity if it comes your way. There is no guarantee Leverkusen will be good next season and if they’re not his career will be on a knife edge.

I'm also surprised with Xabi Alonso's decision. It is a bit early too. I thought he would think about his options this summer. It looks like he wants to be an idealist coach for now. 

In addition to Liverpool Bayern Munich have already been linked with him as they are going to part ways with Tuchel. However I don't expect Xabi Alonso to stay at Leverkusen longer than next season. It would be the best for him to manage bigger teams as well. With a more capable squad he can achieve bigger successes. It is really difficult to keep even the same level with Leverkusen in a league with Bayern Munich.

In terms of actual position, I don't think there is a problem for Kimmich because seeing from what happened even though the dispute with Tuchel still happened but in the end he still became one of the players who was never replaced at Bayern because he was a regular for the line up and that means even though there are personal problems but Kimmich and Tuchel remain professional and objective in doing their jobs.

The price of 60 million actually seems quite expensive but it is still quite comparable to the performance given and the age that still allows it to be able to compete in a long contract because currently he is still 29 years old and it is quite mature for a player.

Madrid can look for this option to regenerate Vasquez and Carvajal in the same position but indeed for Madrid it seems that they are still more interested in approaching Davies first because seeing from the current situation it seems that Madrid will continue to approach Davies as long as they still have the opportunity.

I respect Xabi Alonso's decision and I support him, it's great that he is so committed to the club. I'm sure their fans would love this decision.

But you should compare it to Leverkusen at this time. If people are talking about Liverpool here, which can be considered a potential club, then compare Leverkusen to Liverpool, and believe me, Leverkusen is still far below Liverpool. Whatever Xabi's decision regarding his career, I strongly believe this is the best one.
Xabi tries to convince us about how he is willing to continue his career in leverkusen and this is not something wrong caused by the fact that if xabi is also feeling so happy in staying at leverkusen for another season. Im sure that he decides it basedon his intentional decision.
Even though xabi will get bigger budget since leverkusen will have greater income from europa league and bundesliga but i think that xabi's always about how to make everything become very efficient for the club.

It is not surprising that many of the big teams are after him. Since he has that release clause in his contract, I am sure that he won't be playing for Leipzig next summer.

I remember Dani Olmo performed in Euro 2020 quite impressive. I feel it's strange that no big club interest in him. his recent performances have been captured a bit attention. His appearances for Spain and Leipzig have shown that he has a good ability to influence matches. It should be no surprise that several clubs have expressed interest in acquiring his services. The presence of a release clause in Olmo's contract further adds to the speculation surrounding his future. This clause essentially provides an opportunity for other clubs to secure his transfer by meeting the stipulated terms.

It's reasonable to expect that he may not continue with Leipzig beyond the upcoming summer, given Olmo's rising profile. Playing for a prestigious club in a more competitive league or pursuing new challenges could also influence Olmo's decision. With his skill set and potential, he is undoubtedly a valuable asset for any team aiming to strengthen its squad and compete at the highest level. The interest from big teams and the presence of a release clause in his contract suggests that a transfer could indeed be on the cards.

Taking risks are important on the battlefield, signs of confidence, watching them crawl and still becoming victorious at the end of the day. Bayer Leverkusen doesn't seem to be the formidable club that surpassed elite teams on the Bundesliga table and also the the formidable finance balance team. Bayer Leverkusen coach, Xabi Alonso has made his choice, he's staying at Germany for the purpose to remain incharge of Bayern Munich. I know how crucial Xabi Alonso have been this season, always opening eyes for greatness where he couldn't find any.

It is really difficult to keep even the same level with Leverkusen in a league with Bayern Munich.

Liverpool and Bayern Munich fans are certainly disappointed with Xabi Alonso decision to choose to stay with Leverkusen, a decision that seems idealistic but has gone through various careful calculations. Xabi Alonso doesn't want to be careless in determining his future fate, he also doesn't want to let everyone speculate too much about his future. According to transfermarkt data, Xabi Alonso contract ends in June 2026, which means the manager could stay for two more seasons with Leverkusen. With Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso has become the manager most sought after by big clubs, especially because of the way he works in managing the club and the way he brings out potential in players.

Since being appointed in October 2022, Xabi Alonso has succeeded in building a frightening and consistent squad, with as is squad depth, Leverkusen has now become the most respected club in Europe. They have set record after record, Xabi Alonso is the key factor behind Leverkusen strong strength, so now everyone is waiting for them to win the trophy and change the club history. So it is very reasonable why clubs like Bayern Munich and Liverpool are interested in asking for him in the next transfer window, because Xabi Alonso is considered to be able to present trophies for the club he manages, but if he fails to get it, it is very natural for fans to be disappointed.

[TelolettOm]

According to Fabrizio, Xabi Alonso has already renewed for one year with Bayer Lev. and the agreement will be announced publicly shortly.
He should also have a release clause for 2025.

I'm surprised Xabi Alonso agrees to extend his contract with Bayer Leverkusen for 1 season more.  
We know there are interest from many top teams in the world. Why he doesn't want to consider to leave? I think Xabi Alonso wants to prove more his ability in managing Leverkusen and tries to be loyal with Leverkusen management.

For those people who assume the impressive performance of Bayer Leverkusen this season is just a coincidence, this is Xabi Alonso wants to prove you that it is not a coincidence.

However, I'm a bit disappointed because I assume Xabi Alonso will manage a stronger team for the next season. At least, he moves to Bayern Munich, he will have the chance to win UCL for the next season because I think Bayern Munich has a better squad. Although Bayer Leverkusen will also play in UCL, I'm not sure Xabi Alonso can lead them to be the champion.

Hard blow for Bayern M. who thought they had already signed him after Tuchel.
Who will the Germans go to now? Will they try for Conte or try hard for Klopp?

Not sure who will be the coach of Bayern Munich, but I doubt if Conte will be the next coach. If Conte wants to manage a team, there are some teams in Serie A which wants to hire him. Juventus, AC Milan, and Juventus are ready to consider him to be their coach.

I think Klopp can be the candidate for Bayern Munich coach for the next season.
