⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

He made it clear that he was taking a break from football. So I don't think he will change his decision. If he made such a change of decision now, his image would be very bad. He could not show the expected success in the national team and did not accept the offers he received.
Maybe taking a break for a few seasons would be beneficial for him

I agree. This is Klopp's final decision. I don't expect him to return to his job all of a sudden after saying that he would take a break. He even stated he might not return anytime in the future. But I would really like to see him back one day as he is a really valuable manager.    His journey with Liverpool and Dortmund was so special. Both teams are grateful for his work in these years.

I believe he could think of returning after a break like 1-2 years. He managed teams for 20+ years. It is a really huge career for sure. But maybe he could return for one last time if he misses being in competitive football.

If Manchester City and Arsenal are highlighted because they have good performances, Chelsea and Manchester United are highlighted because they have poor performances. This is a common thing in football, where clubs are considered to have big names but then they have unexpected performances, then they will become the subject of interesting discussion by the media.

Last season the performance they experienced has already been surpassed. All teams are trying their best to face the tight competition next season to win the title. Not just Chelsea and Manchester United, but all clubs in all leagues.
Last season Chelsea was not bad because they managed to end the season in 6th position in the standings table. The 2024/2025 season is being prepared. We need to wait how and which teams will be great and bad.

When a new season starts, every team, strong or weak, thinks that they must do well in the coming season, and they make all the changes they can within their club in order to do well. Some clubs may not be able to buy as many players as expected in their squad due to money but there are some top tier teams who spend huge amounts of money every season just to perform well in various tournaments. In the continuation of all this, Manchester United or Liverpool or Chelsea will want to forget the past bad performance and start a new season. Manchester United performed poorly last season so expectations will naturally be high this season.

I heard that USA wants him to be the coach of their national team in 2026 world cup that would be played in both USA and Canada. Since the world cup is coming up next two years Klopp still have enough time to make his decision on the offer. It is will nice seeing him coaching a national team.

Unfortunately Klopp will not still be able to achieve any remarkable result as coach of USA, they are still not a football giant and will not still be under Klopp. The best challenge for Klopp should be to take up the role of coach in another club than to become coach of a National team that only play once in a while. Klopp is a very experienced coach, many teams not even in the major Leagues will we be happy to have him as manager.

It's crazy, PSG is linked to a Portuguese player and offers €60 million, while Man United has previously been linked with this player because I know the goal of Man United is to recruit more young players to be ready for a new challenge next season. But what about PSG?  Does the PSG really have a plan to bring João Neves?

PSG is usually more interested in professional players and ignores their age but this time Enrique seems to be serious about building a team with the contribution of young players. Although Benfica retained João Neves for €120 million, I'm sure PSG could have paid for it. But for me €120m for such a young player doesn't make any sense.

PSG will do whatever it takes as long as the player is still available on the market and if Manchester United does not immediately agree on the transfer of Joao Neves then it is not impossible that PSG will poach him. It would not be surprising if in the end the financially strong ones managed to sign him and here Benfica would be very happy if a team paid the fee they wanted.

On the other hand, Joao Neves will also definitely consider his new team because if he chooses to go to PSG, of course his career will not be good enough, but his salary will definitely be very large. Meanwhile, Manchester United may not really offer a definite title, but at least it will become more famous in a very competitive league, especially if it succeeds in taking this team's performance to the next level.

@len01, Benfica has been robbing a lot of clubs lately by setting insane price tags on their young talents. Yes, some young players do deserve it but more than 70m for an unproven player is just crazy. And the fact that they put a tag of 120m on Joao Neves is beyond my understanding.

Honestly, I see Man United being linked with every other player, and their transfer tactic is still not understandable to me so I don't know what they are trying to do, typically, they just sweep in into deals that other clubs are aiming for. On the other hand, PSG is just simply looking for a rebuild after Mbappe left, so it’s understandable if they spend big money on young talents now. Their hunt for an UCL is still not over, I guess.

If Jürgen Klopp should return to a club as a coach at some point (he will pause for at least a few years), I would like him to take over a traditional club where there is a big fan base that has been waiting for the title in the league for ages and there he should then lead the respective club to the title. I wouldn't want a strong club for
him like City/Madrid/Barca.
