⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[RaltcoinsB]

Maybe Xabi will adjust to Real Madrid's strategic style with a fast counter-attacking style of play because with ball possession it will not be interesting for the Real Madrid team, it's just that we don't know how effective Xabi will be in Madrid, maybe the same desire as bringing Bayer Leverkusen in the previous season.
I can say Xabi is a great coach, I hope he can find his feet with Real Madrid, he can come up with the best strategy possible because Real Madrid have so many talented players.

If Xabi Alonso wants Real Madrid to follow the old style of play then why bring him in? The main purpose of recruiting Xabi is so that he can adapt the modern era game to Madrid players. At least Xabi must have his own characteristics to create his style of play. So I hope Xabi holds fast to the principles according to his ability as a coach. And for the players it means they must follow the ambitions that the coach wants to achieve. Under Ancelotti we saw individual skills but minimal teamwork especially in the front line and under the new coach must fix what Ancelotti did not implement. Playing for the club is the most important thing not playing to satisfy your own ego just to score goals.

Xabi's football player being a part of this team means that it is more advantageous to explain the value of some things. Xabi Alonso is a coach who knows Real Madrid's club structure and how players should behave very well. He is a coach who also knows the Spanish league closely. He is a coach who won the championship in his first experience in the Bundesliga and came second in his second year. In my opinion, he is one of the coaches who can be good for Real Madrid. Of course, they may want someone with experience in coaching, but I think Xabi can be successful too.

Don't wanna see Fabregas to coach Leverkusen. Prefer to see him chill for another season in Como. He has been doing great job by bringing Como to the mid table at his first season in serie a. He can be so big once Como's owner will hand him so much money to rebuild the squad.

I don' wanna see him go too fast. Como will play shite without him.

If he is given a better paid contract from Leverkusen than what he's getting at Como he will most likely leave for Leverkusen, so it doesn't matter who likes it or not. Moreover, Leverkusen is a big name in European football competitions compared to Como that's just emerging even in their domestic league. Every coach wants to be found with the big team which Fabregas isn't any different.

 For me, I will love to see him as Xabi Alonso's replacement in Leverkusen to come replicate his legacy. Como can always find a better choice also.

Congratulations to cesc fabrigas in advance for securing this move because it's actually happening , and if you ask me if he deserves this move, I would say a very big yes that he has all it takes to succeed xabi Alonso at Bayern Leverkusen, because if you look at his como team that he managed, they have greatly improved under his watch, and if it was not for some few setbacks that they had during the cause of the season, they would have been competing for a European league spot, a team that just got promoted into the Italian Seria A last season, so they have done really well this season under the leadership of cesc fabrigas in my own opinion.
But if cesc fabrigas should leave as he is being speculated right now, it is actually going to have a serious dent in the growth and development of this como side unless someone with the same pedigree or class is used to replace him at the club, if not we might not see something beautiful from this como side again as they are known for under the leadership of cesc fabrigas.

Does Frimpong really have a release clause like this? It is like free man just go for it!    He is 24 and I believe he is a big talent. I think he can get much better if he is given chance at bigger teams like Liverpool.

He is a great candidate to replace Trent as well. Trent and him both are offensive RBs. Therefore I don't think there will be much for Liverpool to lose here. I respect Trent's skills but who knows maybe Frimpong can even do a better work than him in time...

Plus he can play as a RM / RW too when there is need.

Information gotten here says that Frimpong has a €35 million release clause in his contract that allows him to leave the club. I don’t know how trustworthy the source is but if this is correct then Liverpool will have a good advantage in hand in their pursuit for the talented right back.

And there we go watching Arsenal doing the same thing as always

Arsenal agree deal to sign Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, here we go! ❤️🤍

Zubimendi has now verbally agreed to sign a long term deal… so formal steps must follow soon with Arsenal to trigger €60m clause.

Zubi, ready to become the first signing of the new season.

Here we go!! This is good news for every Arsenal supporter to finally get their long chased target this summer. Arteta has been a long admirer of the player and will be happy to get him finally but this doesn’t stop the club’s plan to sign a striker at the end of the season, that still remains their top priority.

Arsenal have shown good results this season and Arteta seems to have received approval for new transfers again. On the other hand, they have already spent a lot of money before and it did not help them win any trophies, and now I think that Arteta may have the last chance to achieve something, of course it will depend on how ambitious the Arsenal management is, if they want to win, then perhaps in the case of another season without achievements, they will look for a replacement for him.

Disappointed with this transfer. I thought that Wirtz would be going to the Madrid, but it's all fake. He's now joining in Bayern munich, and i think it's valid considering Xabi announced to left from Leverkusen. It seems Wirtz has no future on his current club when Xavi is not coaching him anymore.

I was hoping Madrid to take him, but it's too late. I only see Bayern Munich to dominate Bundesliga again once they officiall take him from Leverkusen. Obviously no competitor for them in the league.

Wirtz to Real Madrid would have been a very good signing but unfortunately Real Madrid have not shown interest in the player recently. Bayern have shown interest and have made a move to enquire about his availability. It’s a shame Leverkusen are on the brink of losing some of their beat players including their manager at the end of the season. Could this be the end of Leverkusen’s reign?

I think Arsenal will pay a lot for Zubimendi. The midfielder is perhaps the type of player Arsenal wants. We know that Arteta has wanted to see him in his squad for a long time. The Spanish player has taken on a new challenge by transferring to Arsenal. We all know how tough the Premier League is and whether he can succeed in the Premier League is entirely in his hands. The Spanish league is a bit more tactical and technical, while the Premier League is more difficult and requires physical endurance. Let's see if the Spanish player can adapt to Arsenal or if this will be a waste of money transfer for Arsenal.

Liverpool loss appears greater considering they would have to part ways with Trent Alexander Arnold without receiving any profit from his sale, and from now on, Liverpool management faces a difficult task in finding a suitable replacement for Trent Alexander Arnold. Jeremie Frimpong might just be one of the candidates desired by Arne Slot, but in my opinion, the Leverkusen player is worth recruiting for a price of 35 million.

Ola Aina a Nottingham Forest player, and Andrea Cambiaso from Juventus have also been linked with Liverpool recently, they could be alternative options for the right back position next season. With Liverpool status as Premier League champions, they should have a great appeal to recruit their target players, and I imagine Liverpool management will not have difficulties regarding the budget.

Xavi seems willing to try his luck in PL. I wish him to fulfill his hope, but he needs to find a club to coach. Some big clubs can start to reconsider him as he's available to coach the club. It will be so good to have him at PL for the first time, though not as a player.
Still hoping the big club such as Chelsea will reconsider him as a replacement for Maresca, which is not doing the job well. I hope he can join PL asap.

I'm looking at the announcement now, and i don't know what to say. He was such a great player, it would be a shame if he doesn't turn out to be a great coach as well. Unfortunately, he didn’t succeed the way he was supposed to. In the premier league, he needs to know it's the toughest just like it's hard to play there, it's also hard to be a manager. Xavi is serious, but whether he has the capacity, we’ll see. I wish him all the best.

What Xavi did with Barcelona is obvious. He increased the level of the team by adding good players from the youth academy to the main squad in Barcelona's worst situation. He also made Barcelona, ​​which was in great financial trouble, champion without making transfers or spending a lot on transfers. I think what Xavi did with Barcelona is very special. He can do similar things in the Premier League because he has tactical skills. I hope he goes to the Premier League and we watch him with his special tactics there.

Xabi Alonso already understands Madrid game pattern which he will use his own skills in addional of what he already knows about Madrid game pattern to strengthen the team. He has already said it in the past that if he leaves Leverkusen, he will only coach in two clubs which is either Real Madrid or Liverpool because he has played for these two clubs.

Well, he fits the Real Madrid job perfectly. I was expecting a certain Jurgen Klopp but he seems to have not enough rejuvenated energy to be back managing and coaching. Xabi Alonso has done well, with Bayern Leverkusen over the past 2 seasons and half. He had the best send off from the fans, I'm certain he'll give one hundred percent dedication to Real Madrid henceforth. Soon here we go!! Same goes for Carlo Ancelotti.

[Pokapoka124]

This agreement still remains to get official. Honestly I don't think any serious problem will occur and it will cause this deal to be cancelled. There have been some compensation issues but I assume they would figure it out.

Fabrizio Romano posted earlier that Real Madrid has been in advanced talks with Xabi Alonso. It is a matter of time that they sign the contract officially.    There were people who expected Klopp or Zidane (his arrival would be too optimistic). I think Xabi Alonso will do good there.

The agreement between Real Madrid and Brazil in regards to compensation to Ancelotti seems to be the reason the completion of the switch is stalling but on manager’s side Xabi Alonso is keen in agreement to join Real Madrid. According to Fabrizio, all parties are still locked in negotiations on a deal will be agreed and announced soon.

Looks like most of the sharp and skillful players in Leverkusen will be leaving the club if they get an offer in a big club since Xabi Alonso has chosen to leave the club. Xabi Alonso brought light to the club and it is possible that if he leaves, the club wouldn't be as strong and competitive compared to this recent times. Writz has made a good choice  to move to Bayern to play with the big boys.

The English Premier League is the most exciting league in the world. Most of the clubs, even the lowest ones, have sound management structures. Even if he doesn't get a big club like Chelsea, average or low-class clubs could hire him. If he knows the job, he could make an impact that will make bigger clubs come for him. Is Chelsea planning to sack Enzo Maresca? I think he should be given another season and don't also forget that the Italian coach might bring the Conference League title to Stamford Bridge..

It's good Wirtz moves to the a big club like Bayern, but his moves to the Bayern is not really exciting me at all. I'd like to see him come to the different league. His decision to join in the Munich is only helping Munich to make Bundesliga becomes a farmer league again with no team can compete with Bayern.

That's pretty much the same strategy like what Bayern did to the Dortmund. You seized your opponent's key player, and waiting for them to fall. This is the same like you're seizing your opponent's power.

surely the amount requested by Carlo Ancelotti is not a low amount, surely it could also be too much for the Brazilian national team that at the moment is full of champions who practically cannot find each other and play well together, they need a coach who can put them in line and make them play as a team, Ancelotti in my opinion is not the right man, better a Brazilian

I like the way Xabi Alonso works since he was in Leverkusen because he has given a very positive impact to a club that has never won the Bundesliga title and for the first time Xabi Alonso gave a title to the club he brought, if he coaches Real Madrid I will really support him because I think he is quite suitable to be in the club, moreover Xabi Alonso has an interest in becoming the coach of his former club and will give his best as Ancelotti did, of course he also understands a little about Madrid's condition.

[tottong]

Yes, Zindine is not the best Real Madrid coach, in terms of winning titles, he is still behind Ancelotti and some other coaches, but he became the first coach to win the UCL trophy three times in a row. This achievement has never been achieved by any coach. Zidane is also one of the most successful coaches during his time in charge of Real Madrid, he also managed to appear in the final 5 times and won all of them (3x UCL and 2x Club World Cup).
Xabi Alonso deserves a chance, he also has a good track record with Leverkusen, but only time will tell whether he will be successful with Real Madrid or not.

He was only a few seasons at Real Madrid so comparing Zindine with Ancelloti is not worth it.
Both have different levels of success and I see Zindine and Ancelloti as both the best coaches ever.
Xabi Alonso can follow in the footsteps of both coaches but it will take time to make Real Madrid back to its glory days because now there are many problems that must be fixed first.

Player recruitment is the key to success for Xabi Alonso and if he does not take advantage of buying some of the players he needs, it will be difficult to achieve success next season if he becomes Real Madrid coach.

Things are getting out of hand about the Wirtz news.    Bayern Munich and Manchester City are the fresh rumours.

Now this source says Manchester City has agreed on verbal terms with him. One thing is for sure here. Leverkusen is trying their best to not lose him to Bayern Munich at least. As they are their direct rival I mean.

The reason why Real Madrid isn't intervening might be that they have Bellingham already. But let's see. We are newly closing in on the summer...

Bayern Munich will strengthen its midfield and attacking side with the Wirtz transfer. Real Madrid does not have a big problem in the midfield and attacking area. That's why they may have given up on Wirtz. The priority for Real Madrid right now is how to strengthen the defensive area. Because they have great players like Mbappé, Vinicius, Rodrigo, Bellingham. That's why there must be new players in the defense area, not the offensive area and the area where Kroos played in the past.
