⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[RealMalatesta]

Well we have two big news about managers so far, one is zidane leaving Real Madrid and the other is Conte leaving Inter. I do not think that they will make a switch where zidane coaches inter and conte coaches real madrid.

However I think Conte could actually go to real madrid, Zidane will probably wait for a better chance because dude is one of the best managers right now and probably the greatest coaching start anyone has ever made in history, dude already has so many champions league trophies on short span of his career, and that is why I think he could either choose a team that is going for champions league again or he could just wait, he already has more money than he can dream of having so there is really no reason why he should be picking a team right away, he could give a break and wait like top 5 teams of the world to be available for him.

it is semiofficial now not official yet.

Allegri signed a 4 years contract for 7m € year (14 with taxes).
He should have a role near to the role he had Ferguson with Manchester United.

So he will be join to MU next season? Yesterday I read another rumor if he waiting an offer from Madrid, and now I read on local media if Allegri will be back to Juventus. It's still a little confusing, but if Allegri joins United, maybe it will be his first experience in a league with some top coaches like Guardiola and Tuchel.

Konate set to sign for Liverpool

Ibrahima Konate has said he wants to join Liverpool – and is now expected to complete a £36million deal before next week.

The Reds have decided to trigger Konate’s release clause at RB Leipzig after making the 22-year-old their chief target as they look to bolster their centre-back options.

It is understood the player has already agreed personal terms having indicated his desire to move to Anfield.

And the transfer is likely to be completed within the next 48 hours with Konate becoming Jurgen Klopp’s first major signing of the summer.

Good for Juventus, he is a good manager. Similar to my team Liverpool, it was a bad season but CL football was saved on the last day of the season. I predict much better seasons for Juve & LFC in 2021/22.

Manchester United will make an ambitious move for Atletico Madrid keeper Jan Oblak to solve their No  1 crisis.

"And the Red Devils would let blundering David De Gea go the other way as a makeweight in the deal for Oblak — in an attempt to get his huge £375,000-a-week wages off their books."

Inzaghi at Inter, Allegri back at Juve, Poch back at Spurs? Two of those moves are people who brought the most fame to both clubs so I guess that kinda makes sense. Kinda. Benitez back in Premier League? This must be a record season for all these big names in football I can't even keep up anymore. And Barca has the smallest name in this superstar arena Koeman haha.

Alaba probably official to Real Madrid by the end of the day.

Real madrid really got a great player here and as you said they didn't have to pay any transfer fee for him so it's a really great deal for them. I think though that real will also have to pay alabas agent a big amount of money, which is a joke but that's just how modern football is. I also read that alaba will earn 12M € yearly after taxes at real, which should be more than 20M € before taxes and this was also the sum that he wanted from bayern munich to prolong his contract but bayern refused to pay that amount because of the covid pandemic. Therefore i think money was the main reason for this transfer.

Spanish Marca reports that Saúl Ñíguez still wants to leave Atletico Madrid in the summer. Juventus Turin, FC Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing him. Let's wait and see who makes the race. According to transfermarket.com the current market value of Ñíguez is about €55m.

Winning LaLiga has not changed Saúl Ñíguez's mind about leaving Atlético this summer. Juventus are the leading candidates to sign him, but his wages of around €7m after tax are a problem. Bayern, Manchester United and PSG have also shown interest in Saúl in the past [@marca]

Personally, I would be very happy if he moved to FC Bayern next summer. But yes, €55m euros is a lot of money. Let's see...

I agree with you definitely. David Alaba is a world-class player and he is still doing good. However, his main position is centre-back. Real Madrid have Varane, Ramos and Militao who play there. There will be a huge competition among them. Alaba can play as left-back and central midfielder also. It's a big plus for him and Real Madrid.

It is more and more interesting to follow the transfer market for coaches of some of Europe's top clubs, presenting various kinds of dramas,
making it even more attractive compared to player transfers. Starting when, surprisingly, Antonio Conte decided to leave Inter, even though
Conte managed to give the Serie A trophy for Inter. Then Zinedine Zidane decided to resign as coach of Real Madrid, the drama resumed after
Massimiliano Allegri chose Juventus over Real Madrid. Which means Pirlo will be fired in the near future, and Simone Inzaghi who chose to move
to Inter. Lazio management did not respond to this well, even though Lazio's official website expressed its disappointment with Inzaghi's decision.
The most interesting thing is the struggle for Real Madrid and Tottenham who want Pochettino, maybe in the next few days we can get the latest
updates on where Pochettino will move.

@FatFork what’s wrong with the Board because when you have Ac Milan goal keeper available on a free transfer, why are they keen to swap De Gea, rather they should sell De Gea and get Ac Milan goal keeper for free. However one thing is for certain De Gea time is up at the club, and I can’t wait to see him leave the club.

It's all confirmed now. Allegri has put down his sign on contract keeping him at Juventus until 2025 as manager. I still am having hard time believing he chose Juventus over Madrid. Well he's Italian and he had good time managing Juventus earlier so guess that's it.

I don't think they would replace De Gea. Henderson is a good goalkeeper and I can see him replacing De Gea but guess when it comes to goalkeeper De Gea is considered legend inside. I also think there is no need for them to proceed with Oblak when there is a goalkeeper like Donnarumma free on sale. Of course he is gonna demand a bit high fee but I think United won't have problem accepting his demands.

yep it was announced by Real Madrid that a contract with Alaba is aigned for a period of 5 years coming from Bayern Munich after the end of his contract !!
Nice news for the madridista after the exit slap Zidane, despite knowing the arrival of the player a few weeks ago .. a player with high qualifications and multiple centers, and the Real will need him a lot from the center of the defense, the midfield player and in left back psoition if it is necessary .
 He will help in a lot of defensive roles hope he can transit quickly to Laliga.

Good point, that's two good centre back gone for Leipzig. Guess lot of stars are leaving the club. Good thing for them that they will have good amount for both and can try getting some young defenders and develop them. There is some interest on Ozan Kabak. Still it's a good dent to centre back depth in Leipzig squad.

He will help in a lot of defensive roles hope he can transit quickly to Laliga.

I think he will do quickly. He already has got the experience and it's not like he is a young player who needs time to adjust. He will adapt to Madrid play style quickly.

Pirlo definitely did not deserved to be sacked, that dude was bringing everything in his hands to the team and tried to make something happened but lets face it Juventus didn't have a proper rotation this year and their starting eleven when healthy played amazing but they missed many players for long amount of times, it was injuries, bookings but differently this year it was also covid as well, their best two players both missed a good chunk of time because of it.

This is why I think there is a good amount of doubt it was Pirlo that caused the team to be at this level, if given a healthy team next season and a bit more rotation players he could definitely win the league no doubt in my mind, but it was easier for front office to put the blame on Pirlo and send him off and act as if last year didn't happen at all and next year will be different, it won't be unless they get some fresh legs.
