⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Igebotz]

I would really love to see a link to this news/info, definitely Pep isn't going to stay at the Etihad forever, but I'm not sure if he is leaving very soon.

He is nearing the end of his contract and, as he stated earlier this year, he will step down after his current contract expires in 2023. He has been with the club for almost 6-7 years. This is an excellent opportunity to seek for a new challenge..

Brendan Rodgers on the other hand isn't doing too poorly at Leicester city, he has kept them in the top 5/6 for a couple of years now, and with the crop of players they have, that is somewhat of a good feat. Having said that, I personally do not think Brendan is a good choice to replace pep, neither do I think City are considering signing him as Guadiola's replacement.

Brendan Rodgers, a low-profile and experienced coach, would make a lot of sense to me as a replacement for Pep. He has performed admirably at every club he has managed since leaving Liverpool, he did wonders with Celtic, and now he has already given Leicester their first FA cup in 20 years after only two years at the club, as well as securing the Europa League last season. Even though I'm hearing this news for the first time, if Brendan is given half of what Pep was given, he would do a fantastic job at Manchester

City's manager after Pep is going to have a really tough time, it's going to be a bit difficult to coach a team pep just left recently, he has quite a lot of philosophies, so integrating yours in place of his is going to be somewhat tough

The players are quite aging so it would be difficult for sure for any manager to come in and perform wonders.

It appears that both Nicolo Barella and Paolo Dybala will sign new contracts with Inter/Juventus. Barella extending is a major coup for Inter - he looks like a great player in the making.

Dybala is also doing a lot better at Juve after Ronaldo left, he has 3 goals and 3 assists in 8 games this season. Keeping him looks like the right move from Juve - he is a great player that simply could not find his game for a while. Hope that this is a fresh start from him, I really like him as a player.

Brozović is however still undecided - Inter wants to extend. The contract ends in June.

Marco Asensio is currently not getting a place to play at Real Madrid, and according to reports, if AC Milan and Liverpool are interested in signing him in the January transfer window, currently Asensio still has a contract with Real Madrid until 2023, AC Milan and Liverpool are rumored to be able to get Asensio in the upcoming transfer window for a fee of 25 million pounds

It seems like Roma coach Jose Mourinho is targeting Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks. Loftus-Cheek was already speculated to leave for a long time before but he still shows a great performance at Chelsea when he is given the chance. So maybe Chelsea coach Tuchel wouldn't like him leaving the club so soon if he maintains his good performance. Besides, these targets are both good for Roma. But they can look for stronger midfielders also.

Xavi Hernandez named Barcelona coach
Good news for all Barca fans, after a group of very unhappy moments at all levels related to the club.
A challenge of a special kind during which he will lead the club in the most difficult circumstances, after leading his midfield to success, which was close to perfect at the time.
Will he succeed like Guardiola and Zidane? Will the biggest loser be like Pirlo and Lampard? This is what the coming days will prove to us.
Barcelona fans  needs to not compare him to Guardiola after the first two victories and do not have mercy on the days of Valverde after the first two defeats.. give him enough time to judge his ability with numbers and proofs himself.

I do recall some social posts admiring the way he managed Al Sadd and developed their play style with passing game and making the game more easy like he used to play at Barcelona. I think managing a bigger club is a new challenge for him but I think if he succeeds then he will revive Barcelona to its earlier days.

Regarding Guardiola, his usually managing style is to keep the possession but when he was at Barcelona it was actually the players in my opinion who took into another level with tiki taka and all. Guardiola has managed so many big clubs after Barcelona but I have never seen those clubs playing with tiki-taka style.

I am also very surprise with this selection because right now they need someone who can bring them out of relegation and having some very good things in very short span of time about Eddie Howe he is not familiar with these things just have one job which also lost due to team's relegation, so it's big risk by Newcastle new management.

But, after reading some details I am feeling they are having no choice because Conte is already settled with Tottenham and Emery and Fonseca are also not interested, so this is mission impossible for new coach and management if they fail in this experiment then surely they have to go in Championship for one season because after having Eddie and giving him sometime they can end in some horrible result.

I see this as a temporary measure. They know they want the best and they can afford it at any time but they know also Newcastle does not have the pull until they can find a sporting director to buy the players they need,,, and then maybe a coach at a later time next year.

For sure,,, Eddie Howe is not the biggest name in football but as you say, it is not like they have any choice, and they could still do much worse than a guy who knows how to play attractive football unlike Steve Bruce

Manchester City signed American goalkeeper Zack Steffen to a new long-term contract. He will stay at the club until 2025! There are some players who are content with being second choices. Whenever Ederson gets injured, he becomes the replacement. He stays on the bench until 2025!

Even this, of course, the same management at Alsadd will definitely be developed in Barcelona, only Xavi must be able to overcome the difficulties faced by Barca at this time so this is a big challenge if everything is stable then I believe Xavi can manage Barca well even with the style of playing midfield and attackers with his tiki-taka bait.
In my opinion, Xavi won't be a loser as it is said but he can definitely develop players with the strategy that Xavi had when he was at Alsadd, as long as he is able to make Barca more impressive then this will be a good journey for Xavi.

I don't know what's on Jack Steffen mind at this time who seems to really enjoy being a backup goalkeeper for Ederson, yes, even though he is often played in other matches besides the EPL and champions League, but at the age of 26, I think he should be looking for new adventures in other clubs that can indeed make him the main goalkeeper, maybe the big salary factor makes him very comfortable to be the second goalkeeper at Manchester City right now .

I have heard that Arsenal are interested in signing Real Sociedad striker Alexander Isak. He scored 5 goals in 12 games so far. And in an interview, Alexander Isak indicated that he is really happy at the club now. But he said that it would be nice to play in England. He is only 22 years old now and he is a very talented striker. If I was him, I would think of going to Arsenal. Because he can show his talent in the Premier League by this way and he can be transferred to a bigger club after that.

Al-Sadda head coach Xavi will say goodbye to his charges in a few hours and go to Catalonia, journalist Fabrizio Romano reports on his Twitter account.

According to the source, Barcelona will officially announce the deal with the 41-year-old mentor in the coming hours.

Al-Sadd also confirmed this information. The club said that Xavi will become the head coach of Barcelona as soon as the club pays compensation for him.

Earlier it was reported that the Qataris will ask for their coach 5 million euros.

Conte can build new team on Tottenham Hotspur because many star pkayer there and Conte can continue with great team before wi dow transfer opening, different if Conte become and have agreement with Newcastle United because waiting on January for wi dow transfer open and need hard work how to make star player want play for Newcastle United without play on champion league and now they have bottom position on the table.

It is true. In Tottenham, Conte doesn't rely on signing top players on the next transfer window only, he can optimize the current players there. There are already some top attackers in Tottenham such as Kane, Son, Lucas Moura. And they also have some good defenders such as Eric Dier, Sanchez, and Ben Davies. While for midfielders, Tottenham has Alli, Ndombélé, and Sessegnon. Having these players must be very helpful for Conte. If they can perform well, Tottenham doesn't need too many players to sign in the next transfer window.

By the way, Tottenham is one of the few teams that needs few transfers. They have a very good squad at the moment, and I can't remember when it could not be, they are always in form and don't make many transfers. All the same, sooner or later they will have to change something. Some players will go to another club, someone will finish their career (well, this also can happen)...

Ok like a was saying it is never easy with Arabian people.

Barcelona in the end will pay 5m € to get his new coach.

Good luck to Xavi but it will be not easy for him, he can be a Pirlo2.

Although the quality of the players that Tottenham have is quite good, but the morale of Tottenham's players is slumping after picking up poor results
in two Premier League games. Hopefully Conte can motivate Tottenham players, especially their star player Harry Kane is still not able to show his
best performance. So Conte's job at Tottenham was tough in my opinion, but Conte's debut as a coach was good when Tottenham beat Vitesse.
Hopefully Tottenham's victory can continue when facing Everton in the Premier League, regarding the purchase of players in the next transfer window.
It looks like Conte wants to bring in a few more players, because of one of Conte's requests to Tottenham management when he received an offer
to become Tottenham coach, asking for a budget to buy some players in the next transfer window. So I believe Conte will buy some players to strengthen
the Tottenham squad, the first player Conte will buy is likely to be Dusan Vlahovic, because Vlahovic is one of the players Conte wants.

It is not easy to get a great manager to a bad roster, it is easier to convince a great player to go to a bad roster if you pay enough. That way they could get the roster better first, then get the good manager later on.

So, I would have to say that there is a great chance that Newcastle got him for temporarily like you said, and you could potentially end up with more and more transfers which will result with the situation being something a lot better, I really hope that we end up seeing them fail a lot, I really hope that. I understand that football fans want to see Newcastle be great but for me I dislike them for political reasons and I really hope that they just end up failing all the time.

Vlahovich is rumored to leave Fiorentina even this January if a good offer comes to Firenze.

The rumors are about to accept an offer of around 60-80m€.

Several teams are on him, Juventus, Spurs, Arsenal, and more English teams.

Everyone seems to agree with Xavi arrival in Barcelona. That's enough to convince the Barcelona players are looking forward to the figure of Xavi. We will see how under Xavi tutelage whether Barcelona can return to show the qualities that they have lost or not. Personally Xavi is the right choice for Barcelona.

Several teams are on him, Juventus, Spurs, Arsenal, and more English teams.

It is rumoured that Arsenal are very keen on the player and are ready to bid the 80m for the player.
Vlahovich is a very nice player,no doubt,he has been doing excellently well for his present club,and that's why majority of the clubs in Europe are interested in signing the lad.
This will be a very good move from Arsenal if they are able to capture this player comes January transfer window.
