⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[kassex]

Real Madrid forward Borja Mayoral, who is on loan for Roma, may leave the Roman squad, Todofichajes reports.

Within the current season, Mayoral played only three matches in the Italian championship, which does not suit the Royal Club bosses at all. It is for this reason that a footballer can go on loan to Fiorentina.

It is worth noting that the violets can be bought by Borch, whose value is 14 million euros. Mayoral could become a replacement for Dusan Vlahovic, who is more likely to leave the club.

The current contract of the Spaniard with "creamy" is calculated until June 2022.

After being inaugurated Xavi Hernandes imposed new rules in his squad and it is quite strict what I read in the news.

Xavi clearly wants Barcelona to be much better in his hands so with this new rule the players must be punctual and disciplined, otherwise, they will be subject to a predetermined fine, maybe this way Xavi applies will make the game even more disciplined, Or will it be pressure?

You can see the 10 rules written in this news.

https://metro.co.uk/2021/11/09/the-10-new-rules-xavi-will-enforce-on-barcelona-squad-as-part-of-new-regime-15573830/

I think it's a good decision to tighten the screw up if they want to be on the track again. Barcelona is 9th on the table with 12 matches and 4 wins and this is where it gets alarming for Barcelona. This reminds me of Lampard who also created similar rules and fines but later started ruling out players from regular squad just because they weren't well disciplined and punctual and started affecting clubs performance. I think discipline to certain degree is ok but it could harm the team as well if taken things too far.

According to "The Sun" Pogba already played his last game with Manchester and it will be sold for free in January

As for me I don’t think Manchester United are in a hurry to get a replacement for OGS from what I can see so far, a club as big a Manchester United shouldn’t be this patient in getting a new coach, take a look at Chelsea for example, Frank Lampard was as bad as OGS is right now but he was replaced as soon as he started lacking behind tactically and loosing games.
Jose Mourinho isn’t an option for Manchester United. I think  Antonio Conte would have been a good replacement for OGS but the Manchester United board are too slow in decisions making, OGS has nothing else to offer and I wouldn’t be surprised seeing some big footballers wanting to leave the club by January if nothing is done.

Manchester United have considered too much in bringing in a new coach, maybe they still want to keep Oler Soljear, that's why they haven't looked for a new coach until now, Antonio Conte has also been recruited by Tottenham, according to my prediction, Manchester United is better off bringing in Zidane, to replace Oler. , if they don't clean up I'm sure that Manchester United will not be able to compete in all competitions..

According to some reliable source Ole was in a verge of getting sacked after those streak of matches lost by the board fortunately for him Sir Alex Ferguson intervened thus was retained,  meanwhile signing of coaches anyhow wouldn't bring stability into the team, hence the need to continue with Ole is the way out now, had the management and their fans gave David Moyes some much needed time before being sacked when he was appointment then as their manager he would have turn around fortune of the club, now Moyes is performing excellently well with West Ham.

I don't think Ole is a bad coach. He is an experienced coach. He have the ability to do something good with the team. But he can't do well now. The players are not able to perform regularly. They have played against Manchester City without their two main players, Pogba and Varane. We can't expect a good performance without key players in important matches.

How come is the best coach, four years with Manchester United and support with much money from management to get star player but still failed to give primer league trophy for manchester United, I think now is the best time for management to kick out Ole and looking for experience coach have guarantee can give more trophies for United like Zidane. I still not any chance to keep trust with Ole and Manchester United not dominance again on primer league.

There are reports coming out that after Dean Smith getting sacked Aston Villa is close to make Steven Gerrard their next manager. Most of us know how well Steven Gerrard managed Rangers and holded a dominant result throughout the league with Rangers. I think getting Steven Gerrard for the job is a great target and surely with the squad they currently right now, they can bounce back if they get an experienced manager.

I think he's brilliant too, and he and Rangers were just the right fit. Made for that sort of club feeling the thirst induced by their direct Old Firm rivals. But Stevie's always been a bit pragmatic about his own abilities and has said before he needs more experience, more reputation, more clout. Which he no doubt will gain in his current tenure.

I think it's cool he's linked but I hope he has the sense not to take the trip back to England just yet. Get Gers properly fighting in Europe, an appearance once more in Champions League, stamp their dominance in Scotland, and restore them to their old glory. Then, and then, he'll be ready for a job like this.

I don't know how reliable The SUN is, but I have never trusted their news. First, I don't know how a club like Manchester United that spend a good amount on transfer fee would just sell Pogba for free in January?
If it was during the summer transfer time and his contract had expired, I would sort of agree

I also second that, I expected (or rather, expect) Manchester United to try and make money from Paul Pogba, especially when you consider how much they bought him for, it's absolutely crazy if they let him go for free, I'd love to see a link to this news to be sure, and also to know the team they intend to sell him to. Really I feel this Pogba issue has lingered for so long and United need to get it over with, if he's staying then let him sign a new deal, if he's leaving, then let him be sold, Manchester United have so many problems on the pitch to be worried about a player that is somewhat holding the team to ransom.

I also really doubt the rumors that Man United will be willing to let Pogba go for free, know Man United bought Pogba at a high price.
Regarding the news that says Pogba has played his last game with Man United, t is probably true, because the injury that Pogba suffered
while training with the French national team was quite severe,  it was reported that Paul Pogba had to rest for about 8-10 weeks, Pogba is
likely to start playing again in January next year.

This means that Pogba can start negotiating with other clubs, because his contract with Man United expires in  the summer of 2022. Therefore,
in the transfer market that will open in January, Man United will definitely open up opportunities to sell Pogba, so as not to lose Pogba for free.
It's possible in January when Pogba can return to play, Pogba will not play in a Man United jersey again. Moreover, Man United is also tired of
negotiating with Pogba to extend the contract without finding an agreement. So it's very likely that Pogba  will be sold in January. I agree Man United
are currently having quite a bit of trouble after their poor form this season, so Man United want  to immediately solve this Pogba problem
as soon as possible by selling him in the January transfer market.

Don't know about that.
Premier League teams don't need money they already have the monopoly of the market.

It is for sure nice for them to have some money but in reality, he will leave for free in 6 months, and now he is injured for at least 2 months according to rumors...

According to L'Equipe, Paul Pogba is leaning towards signing a new deal with Manchester United and extending his contract. But it is claimed that he wants a salary that is worth more than Ronaldo's. I don't think that Manchester United have big money problems these days so I guess they can afford his wish easily. But the question is: Will they want to pay that much salary to him? But he is one of the crucial players for this team now. Maybe they will offer the contract he wants to him.

He doesn't leave Man United? Lol.
I suspect he stated to leave Man United in order to get a bigger salary. I think Pogba doesn't need to ask for a bigger salary than Ronaldo has. It is very reasonable if Ronaldo has a bigger salary because of his capacity. Paul Pogba is better to show to the team his best performance in this season firstly, before asking for a bigger salary. I think it is not the right time to ask for a bigger salary.

I can feel Mino Raiola's handwriting I would be very surprised that such an agent would require the least salary for his ward, and even deprived himself in terms of finances Another question is whether the management of Manchester United agrees to such conditions. The series with the extension of Pogba continues and every week there are new rumors, because just a week ago it was said that Pogba could not agree with his current club and wanted to return to Juventus and sign a three-year contract, even with a salary reduction. I think it's all agency games and stuffing information into the press in order to put pressure on the management of the club.

Paul Pogba is a big player and deserves a big salary,but I think Man-u is paying him enough,I mean his salary is one of the highest in England so I don't see any reason why he is complaining.If he signs,definitely,his salary will be very high and that's what he wants.

And asking for the kind of Ronaldo's salary is not right,because he knows Ronaldo is far better than him in everything.

whenever i hear/read about the exorbitant salaries that players at this top level earn i keep thinking:
Where do they spend it all?
Sure, I know... they don't spend all that, they shouldn't even know how to invest that, much of it should be "thrown away".

I believe that the salary of these players is more a matter of status than necessity.

He knows this is not going to happen and the fact that he brought in Ronaldo's salary on to the negotiating table am afraid if this is his condition, then Paul Pogba and Manchester United could be parting ways. What makes him think his at that level...how many times has CR7 saved the devils and how many times has Pogba saved Man United.....this is not even a debatable topic! Pogba thanks for your services, all the best in your future endeavors .

Lionel Messi already linked with move back to Barcelona after flop start to PSG career

Six-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi has been linked with a move back to Barcelona having only quit the La Liga giants for Paris Saint Germain three months ago.

Due to the Catalan club's depleting finances, their star man was unable to be registered in time for the new season and headed for pastures new in Paris.


Messi has already stated his desire to return to Barcelona once his contract with PSG expires and now there are calls from within the Camp Nou to bring back their beloved Argentine.

Marca report that Victor Fonte, who came second to Joan Laporta in the presidential election, is imploring the club to pursue a return for Messi.

Is Barcelona really ready for this move, is their man going to perform as expected am afraid not.

I think getting Steven Gerrard for the job is a great target and surely with the squad they currently right now, they can bounce back if they get an experienced manager.

Honestly Steven Gerrard should not even consider this appointment. Like he has a perfectly good job, with the chance of silverware and European football to to win. Why trying to waste all that for this Aston Villa Job with no European cup games and with little chance of competing with the top 6, let alone the top 4. They had a perfectly good manager, that the team looked like they were playing for. I think Gerrard wants the Liverpool job, don't he think this Aston Villa job is a gamble to wrecking his chances of managing Liverpool, I would rather advise he stays at Rangers, then take over at Liverpool, him and Klopp have contracts ending the same time. Hope Gerrard stays put.

[Avirunes]

^^ Well yeah it would have been great if he would have accepted it with some little more time with Rangers but well he has now accepted the job and is officially the new manager of Aston Villa. Guess he desparately wanted to get back to England and take over some tier 1 English team.

Let's see how he manages Aston Villa now.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/nov/07/solskjr-expects-to-be-in-charge-for-manchester-uniteds-trip-to-watford

According to the news, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is still expecting to be the Manchester United manager in their next Premier League game against Watford. There is an international break right now and I think that there is more than enough time for the Manchester United board to search for a new manager and make their final decision.

Well atleast Ole could bag another 3 points against Watford. There is no way that he is going to lose against Watford. Losing against Manchester City and Liverpool is lame but if he lose to Watford then that is completely out of the line.

We all know for sure that Zidane is not really going to take over Ole so it would be great to see which coach will eventually take this position. There is a high expectation for whoever took over this job that is going to put up alot of pressure

We don't know if the main problem of the team is the management. But I don't like Solskjaer's managing style and there are so many people who would agree with me.

I would love to give some chances to Ole because he was pretty bad as well last season but Manchester United ended up as 2nd in the end but it seems some players might not even want him as their coach anymore so it will be just matter of time for him to be sacked or replaced somehow. Even if he do make it atleast until the boxing day then Im pretty sure Management board would appoint someone new eventually

I wouldn't like to say this but I will say it. I'm hoping them to lose points in that game if Manchester United still insist on not sending him away from the team. If he gets another loss of points in this game, this would definitely be the end of him. But I feel like they will get a win again in his, most probably, last chance like they did in the Tottenham game. But they can't maintain a good season like this. They need to make their final decision now in my opinion.

Baby steps...  The EPL is the most competitive league in Europe, esp now with the top clubs hiring top managers and the not so top managers having the ability to out fox even the top clubs.  It won’t be instant success like how Xavi will look like at Barca..  At least that’s how I see it with Xavi since La Liga isn’t really that tough, tho it has been a little competitive as of late.

Edit:  Oh and btw..  Frank Lampard is the favorite to be the next Norwich manager.  Lololol.

Let's see how he manages Aston Villa now.

Aston Villa signed steven gerrard on a three and a half year contract until June 2025 and of course it will be an amazing experience for us to see the liverpool legend again in the premier league, so far he continues to be rumored to be the newcastle coach but in the end aston villa who managed to bring him back to the premier league, steve gerrard's journey with the ranger is certainly very extraordinary in my opinion because they were able to destroy the domination of celtic so far in the scottish league, but even so the english league is not an easy league and of course it will require hard work and a lot of time for steven gerrard to improve the performance of aston villa today.
