⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[red4slash]

Every team is looking to strengthen their squad a bit but i think Manchester City really needs to add more players and the likes of Wirtz is what they need because they lack creativity in their midfield and it gets worse when De Bruyne is not around so bringing in Wirtz could make a difference but they have competition from Real Madrid which is a team that everyone wants to play in so it will not be easy for Manchester City to sign Wirtz. I am sure some teams might also join the race soon.

Manchester City already have everything, they're strong, but if they have Wirtz, even better.

If they can't get Wirtz, I think they should reach Maddison, Maddison is only 28 years old and he's in Tottenham, a team without journey, definitely Maddison will interested to play in Manchester City.

The problem in this case is whether this will be useful for Witz with the fierce competition at Mancehster City? Although I know that he still has a lot of potential to be able to play better and contribute more in football but of course the choice of club must also be thought of for Wirtz so that his potential is not lost.

We know that for central players, especially for attacking midfielders at Manchetser City, the competition is quite tight so when there is a player who cannot perform well at Manchester City, it could be a cover for their brilliant career because it will definitely be wasted and eventually move back to a smaller club.
Wirtz is a player with potential and he is still very young but when we look at his current situation especially when we look at other midfielders who have come to Manchester City this season such as Savio he is also losing momentum even though he previously had a comfortable position at Girona. Don't let Wirtz feel this way in the end.

Well, Manchester city have been not in good form due to the lack of the their crucial players. Their crucial players like Rodri have not been able to play due to injury. So I agree with you that Manchester city needs to sign something new I mean Wirtz. He is such a wonderful player his quality is impeccable. Probably he can play with pep boys. Despit Wirtz has not only attracted Manchester City to adopt him but has also made Real Madrid and Bayern Munich eager to sign him. Apart from Manchester, Madrid and Bayern Munich are also very determined to sign Wirtz, even Bayern Munich has made a bid of 100€ million. Now let's see who takes the initiative to sign Wirtz. 
 
But anyway you are right that Manchester City can give their team a boost by signing Wirtz. Because Manchester City now needs new players. Kevin De Bruney may also could leave the club for next season and Rodri is also injured. So signing new players in winter can give a lot of boost.

We should stop exaggerating players' market values; Wirtz isn't worth anything close to €100 million yet; he only had one good season and a good performance in the EUROs, but he hasn't done much this season to justify that price tag, and Bayer will not let him join another team in the middle of the season; what Pep desperately needs is DM backup for Rodri so they don't have to rely on him too much.

Pep Guardiola really only needs Rodri back in the squad, Florian Wirtz doesn't seem to be a priority in the near future. Admit it or not, Manchester City seem to lose their game spirit when Rodri is absent, and their last five matches prove that the strategy implemented by Pep Guardiola can only work perfectly if Rodri is included in the starting XI. Yes, Florian Wirtz is on the rise at the moment, but I also think his market value is not reaching 100 million. Florian Wirtz is more likely to follow Xabi Alonso if the manager parted ways with Leverkusen next season.

In the past, Victor Osimhen had made clear his intentions to play in the English Premier League but his desired destination was Chelsea but since the London club couldn't meet his financial demands during the summer, a move to Manchester United I think is possible. Joshua Zirkzee since he arrived Manchester United have struggled to announce himself so if he'll be sold to make space for Victor Osimhen, then i think it'll be a great move for Manchester United. Under new manager Ruben Amorim, I think Victor Osimhen will flourish effortlessly.

Osimhen at first was not really fighting for a move to Chelsea rather looking for a team that would meet Napoli and his wage demands. Napoli fee was the first draw back especially from the fact that last season he did had quite a lot of injuries, although still able to have a decent stat but I doubt would wants to spend such amount on him at that time. Chelsea was trying to get the best of the situation on the deadline day of the transfer market but Osimhen stood his ground for wanting more wages and moved to Galatasaray where he is loved and also doing well.

I think more English team may go for him and Chelsea may likely want to go for him again and maybe ready to meet his wage demand this time but I doubt since that would mean either Nkunku or Jackson would have to leave and as it seems if it comes to that case, Nkunku likely may be heading out.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

A new rumor says that Davies is the still remain the priority choice of Manchester United. They have him on their wish list. It seems likely they'll push to get him at the summer transfer season.

It's time for them to get Davies instead of waiting for their current players to fully recovered. They need the right solution on their left-back and i do support them to get Davies from Bayern Munich.

The contract between Alphonso Davies and Bayern Munich will expire at the end of the season. Alphonso Davies will become a free player next summer. I'm sure that many clubs, with or without financial problems, will want to sign him. According to media reports, Real Madrid also want to sign Alphonso Davies. I see Real Madrid as more advantageous than Manchester United and other teams in this transfer. Real Madrid have already transferred Mbappé in this way. I think they will also sign Alphonso Davies.

While we were all thinking Pep Guardiola was going to leave Manchester City because of the recent bad performance we saw from this coach in the Premier League but it seems Guardiola is going to stay for a longer time. So far Guardiola achieved many titles with Manchester City which made the team and the owners happy however so far during this season he hasn't had had the same good performance anymore but still, Guardiola said he is going to stay there.
Since Manchester City wanted to prove their trust in Guardiola, they extended the contract of Guardiola for 2 years until 2027.

For a manager of Pep Guardiola's status, I wasn't expecting him to extend his contract with Manchester City knowing fully well that the club is currently facing legal charges for alleged breach of transfer rules and if they're found guilty, they'll be relegated to the second division of English football. I think his decision to stay and even promise to remain with them should they eventually face relegation is a testament that he actually have a very good relationship with the club management and fans. Manchester City is currently struggling in their games but I trust them to bounce back to top form in no distant time

Guardiola is a genius and he knows it, but fact of the matter is that he is still a human being and he can lose! And he does.

But I ask myself what his next stop will be. Will it be a new club or a national team? I can imagine that this will be his last season as if he may realize that the synergy between him and the players is not the same at the moment. Or he decides to stay and fix the situation, but I am not sure about that.

Personally as an ambitious man who has managed the great club teams in the world of football and as build or polished his portfolio over the years as one of the greatest managers of all time I think he will like to cement that status further by taking a national team role. Guardiola himself had hinted on one day been the coach of his country Spain as he believe it would be an honor but right now I don’t think Spain need a coach at the moment because of the success of the current one, as for Brazil the role is somewhat tricky as the national team fans still prefer their own country man to manage them.

Should Pep guardiola manages a national team and wins an international silverware then that will be the icing on the cake for his stellar career and will definitely place him as the greatest manager of all time, something I think he hiddenly cherishes. Moreover if not national team I don’t see him taking any coaching role.

If you look at the leagues he wouldn’t be moving to any new league aside the ones he has simply been too and he is such a man that he will never take a rival job so I think club football managerial role is done for and either a national team manager or a federation president role or even leaving European football to other continents

Indeed, Man City's performance is really bad, even this time they were slaughtered by Tottenham again and again, losing in 5 consecutive matches, it's irony and a new bad history for Pep Guardiola. Man City must find a backup that is indeed competitive, ready, and ready to strengthen the club. Moreover, rumors about Rodri's departure are increasingly emerging, although it is unknown whether it will really happen or not.

So many players want to go to Real Madrid according to the media. Even if it's true, I don't think Rodri will leave as long as Pep is still in charge. Even some players who leave come back to City because Pep is a very good coach. Maybe things will be different if Pep goes to Madrid, though I doubt it will ever happen.

Speaking about Pep, I checked out Twitter and it seems like after losing to Tottenham the tag #PepOut is trending again. It's funny since the people behind that tag are likely not a City fan. Even if they wanted to kick him out, I don't think there's a good replacement to fill his shoes.

In the end, the best player will play in Real Madrid because Real Madrid is the biggest and strongest team in the world.

Rodri want to show if Manchester City without him, Manchester City will be nothing. He can ask crazy amount salary in order to Manchester City can't afford to pay his salary, on the other hand Real Madrid have unlimited money and able to spend whatever Manchester City ask.

It comes from Arsenal fans because they're jealous Pep not become their coach.

Pep is a coach who usually will keep his mainstay players as long as he is still the coach of the team, so I agree that this player will be one of the players that Pep Guardiola will keep.
Regarding the hashtag out aimed at Pep Guardiola. I agree that it came from people who want to see Manchester City slump. Because it is too soon when they are really Manchester City fans to make a hashtag like that. With what has been given to Manchester City, it is extraordinary and it should be remembered that this season Manchester City started not well enough.

Not all players will go to Real Madrid as the rumors say because they also consider playing hours and I don't think that will happen. Regarding Rodri, maybe he will become a Real Madrid player, but to what extent is Manchester City willing to let him go, especially in the current condition of the team which is not good. Pep Guardiola will definitely keep Rodri because in his current condition he will be a much-needed player. It is still too early to say that Pep Guardiola has failed as some people have done and they should give support so that he can be much better in the future.

In my mind,  Josh Zirkzee has not struggled,  at least he is a great player when it comes to handling the ball with his legs, he ismore fun to watch than Rasmus Hojlund. He knows how to drop deep and link up with his wingers,  the only thing I want him to do is to up his pace because that of the seria A and the premier league competition are completely different. For now, I don't see him going,  I hope he can stand out and fight for himself.

When a team has a lot of star players who currently have quality talent, the team will end badly. Because each player will have the same high selfishness to achieve better achievements and no one will give in.
On the one hand, I really don't believe that Rodri will go to join Madrid because I also believe that Ancelotti will not bring in a player who is quite old and has had a serious injury. And Man City will also not possibly release the player. Guardiola will definitely consider all of this.

This is just a mere speculations, and even though it might be possible that Rodri might said that, but I am very much positive that it's not now, not even three seasons to come, because Manchester city is very much aware of how important Rodri is too them, so letting him go to real madrid wouldn't look ambitious on their own part, so I believe that before something like that is even considered, it would be that Rodri will have past his prime, which is like three to four years time from now, but as for now, it's just speculations, nothing more.

Because we all know how important he is to this Manchester city side, just because of his absence due to injuries, look at how they are struggling, so I believe that Manchester city isn't stupid to that extent of letting him go when they all knows that he is the brainbox of the team.

The arrival of Amorim certainly makes the Management have to understand what he wants. I heard that Amorim will move a lot to strengthen the team in this transfer season. Reportedly, Sporting Lisbon defender Ousmane Diomande will soon join Amorim at Man United. Actually, Man United competes with Man City, but Man City's problems make Ousmane not want to take much action with his future.

It seems that Ruben Amorim intends to bring some Sporting players to join him at Manchester United because Sporting has some good players in it, proven when Amorim trained this club the players could fit in very well with his coaching scheme so Ruben Amorim really wants to recruit the players needed to be able to build Man U club. Not only Ousmane Diomande who is being targeted by MU, it is known that Ruben Amorim is also targeting Sporting striker Viktor Gyokerez, a striker who is quite productive at Sporting and as we know Man United's front line is not very good at the moment.

I have never seen Manchester City having such horrible streak so far. They conceded 13 goals in those 5 games if I'm not wrong. Just horrible...

About Rodri topic, I also am curious about his future. He is leaving the door open for Real Madrid which is quite natural. But he is still a critical player in Manchester City midfield. Guardiola would do his best to convince him to stay. I don't expect Real Madrid to give up easily though. They are building an incredible squad these days. Seeing Rodri and Vinicius Jr at the same team would also be interesting after the recent incidents related to Ballon d'Or.

Rumours have it that Manchester City's current poor results is as a result of Rodri's absence from the team as many believes the Spaniard is the engine room of the team and one of the major reasons they've been successful since he arrived the club so I don't think Pep Guardiola would want to lose such player. Real Madrid is the most successful club in the world so it's very normal for a player to want to want commit his future with them but considering the recent fallout between Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr and Rodri, I don't think the Spanish and European champions would want to bring the Rodri to the club.
