⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Magicalking]

We have small rumors about an incredible comeback for Conte to Juventus.
I don't know if it is true but that is what I have seen.

Conte is not happy in England and can leave by the end of the season, not sure about Allegri.

Yeah from his recent interview he seems frustrated with the way Spurs are performing right now. He needs a change and wants to sit down with board and discuss about this and formulate a plan. Conte to Juventus is a nice rumour but I am not sure about this so gonna ask you- Is Juventus not happy with current manager Allegri? Also for Conte to Juventus to happen he needs to resign from Spurs first so two things to happen before this becomes a strong rumour.

Conte is a good coach and a great manager, big clubs will definitely want him to be in charge of their teams. But I think he will be staying at Spurs, he is a manager with a lot of experience and I think he should know better. Conte has been in this type of situation before and I am sure he knows what to do. The spurs players are to blame, they do not play like they want to win games. Juventus will be a good place for Conte to continue his career, but I am not comfortable about this move and I am pretty sure Conte is doing everything to make his impact in Spurs.

If so far no contracts have been signed (which nobody really knows to be honest), I think all parties involved around Haaland and Mbappe are closely following the situation. It is now said that Manchester City is in the pole position for Haaland. At the same time Mbappe received an outrageous offer from PSG, that's at least what the media say. As Real Madrid wants to "park" Haaland in Dortmund for one more season, but Haaland doesn't want to do that, I think Real would do everything to not be left behind with empty hands in the end. They would rather increase their offer for Mbappe once more if it turns out that Haaland is going to Manchester City.

I think Real Madrid don't want to be caught up in a situation where they have to bench Benzema for at least one season, that is why they are hesitant to sign Haaland right away and once he goes to Manchester City. It will be so hard to get him out of there, just like they have had to wait all those years for Mbappé (they had a chance to get him from Monaco, and they didn't, PSG took him on a loan and then later signed him).

In my opinion, they will have to just let go off the chance of signing Haaland.

Conte's return to Juventus is a possibility. That would be a dream come true for him, but I'm not sure Juventus would want to sign someone who betrayed them with Inter Milan and denied them the title last season; his devotion to Juventus is gone, and I'm not sure the fans would welcome him with open arms if the trade were to go through..

Don't know about fans treatment towards Conte departure but Lukaku one was really horrible. Sure they are not gonna like him that after one season he went on to join Juventus. Moreover they will cook a story that Conte to Spurs and then Juventus was all planned from the start. That's not gonna go down well..
[+1] to what you raised...very good point...

Conte's departure from Inter Milan was mutually agreed upon; he had no desire to leave, but the club was in financial trouble and unable to fund transfers, forcing the club to sell the players Conte had assembled, making it extremely difficult for the club to keep him; he was not fired, but rather released by Inter Milan. The fans are unhappy with Lukaku because his personal situation was different; he was asked to decrease his wage in order for the club to resolve its financial crisis, which he refused, and turned his back on the club

That did not seem to prevent Conte from receiving all the payments due from Inter in full, without any discounts on the team's difficult financial situation Therefore, I would still not praise Conte's behavior so much in this situation, although of course his behavior is quite understandable, given all Antonio's ambitions and his thirst for titles. Although, of course, no one pulled Lukaku's tongue when he said in all the interviews that he wanted to stay at Inter, despite all the problems, and then abruptly changed his mind when an offer came from Chelsea. On the other hand, I think that a good sum for the transfer of Lukaku certainly provided invaluable assistance to Inter at that difficult time, so everything is not so clear.

There are some rumours about Romelu Lukaku to return to Inter this summer already now. He is linked with his former team but the same source claims that Lukaku is happy for now and he wants to give his best to keep his place in the starting eleven. But I think that this is nothing more than a rumour now. Yes, he had some problems some time ago and he was speculated to leave so many times. But this didn't happen and won't happen too unless Inter make a serious offer to him again.

The rumour of romelu Lukaku has been resounding every moment by the media and press. I don't know whether they resurect it anytime they run out of content to write.
But no matter how rumor it is, I am having the believe that after what happened the other time, Lukaku's mind is no longer fully with Chelsea. If he sees a real opportunity to return to his former club, he won't give it a second thought.

But to be frank,Romelu Lukaku is finding it difficult  to score goals in England as he did at Inter.I always say it that,English premier league is much more complicated and harder to play in than any other league in the world,and people tend to doubt me atimes,but it's simply the truth.He might be good,but playing and scoring in England thesame way he was doing at his former team will really be difficult.

[el kaka22]

I would guess that it would depend on the results. If Conte gets great results then he would be welcomed with open arms, everyone would love him as soon as he starts to win, but if he starts to lose then they will hate him and call him a traitor.

It is so easy to convince fans, you could be the player or manager that managed to beat a team a million times, or scored a million times, or even said horrible disgusting things about a club, but if you join them, everyone will hate you for a second but the moment you start to be awesome and help them get points and wins then they will start to love you and forget about anything else that has happened before you joined them, it is the regular part of football.

Media had been adding more woes to Lukaku's problems and out of form by revealing the numbers of touches he had in their match against Crystal Palace, according to some reports he was allegedly that he had 7 touches throughout the 90 minutes of the match an indication of struggling with form or forcing a transfer out of Chelsea, Tuchel had to openly defend him in his post match commentary, be as it may I believe at the end of this season, we would get a clearer picture of Lukaku next line of action with regards to his purported return to Inter Milan.

Maybe PSG said to Mbappe that they were ready to pay whatever amount he would like to earn yearly. But I have heard that he still declined the offer of his team. Because as many people mentioned before, it is not all about money for Mbappe. Real Madrid are already ready to pay a great sum to him as his salary. It is about an emotional thing actually. Mbappe has dreamt about playing at Real Madrid since his childhood. And there is a big opportunity for him to have this. Why would he turn it down now, right?

Until now PSG are still trying to keep Mbappe, but Mbappe's desire to leave PSG does not seem to be changing anymore, so far PSG have tried several times to offer a contract and a high salary and even if he are willing to extend the contract then the salary will be higher compared to what madrid is currently offering, but I think playing for his favorite team has been the reason he turned down a high salary offer from PSG, indeed we see many footballers who move to other teams just because of money but in the case of mbappe I think this is not the case about MONEY but PASSION.

If so far no contracts have been signed (which nobody really knows to be honest), I think all parties involved around Haaland and Mbappe are closely following the situation. It is now said that Manchester City is in the pole position for Haaland. At the same time Mbappe received an outrageous offer from PSG, that's at least what the media say.

They would rather increase their offer for Mbappe once more if it turns out that Haaland is going to Manchester City.

Both players are currently in the same condition (full of mystery), so far they are mainstay players from their respective clubs and have an important role in every match they play, but in this case mbappe condition is clearly more complicated than haalaand, and dortmund have also said that all decisions are now in the hands of haalaand, and they have so far respected haalaand who want to go, while mbappe has kept his wish a secret and that makes PSG quite annoyed in my opinion, because i think in this case PSG risk losing mbappe for free , while dortmund will certainly receive some money if haalaand leaves later.

I know that a lot of people are not going to agree with me on this one but I think players are much more important than the fans and I think this should be obvious to even the fans. It is a really important thing to have a good mentality between the players and the coach of the team.

Otherwise, the team is not going to produce the results that everyone wants and even pure haters will start loving the manager if he produces the results. And something I can't get my head around is that if the team wins it's the players who get praised the most and if the team loses it's the managers' fault.

Transfer rumours:

Paris St-Germain could make a move for Chelsea's 30-year-old France midfielder N'Golo Kante in the summer. Is that a reaction to the possible departure of Mbappe to Real?
PSG's Argentine manager Mauricio Pochettino, 49, has rebuffed advances from Manchester United to take over as boss at Old Trafford as he waits for the chance to take the helm at Real Madrid. It seems that Pochettino is definitely leaving PSG at the end of this season. Who will replace him in Paris and can Pochettino really take over Real?
Netherlands midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, 31, could leave PSG after just one season, with the ex-Liverpool midfielder linked with Atletico Madrid, West Ham, Newcastle United and Aston Villa. Wijnaldum does not seem to have seized his opportunity in Paris. Where will he go?
England striker Harry Kane, 28, could once again request to leave Tottenham if Antonio Conte leaves his job as Spurs boss. When will this saga around Kane end and will he really leave Tottenham?

I think that Lukaku returning is going to be a good thing for his career because right now at Chelsea he is not performing well and he is under a lot of pressure from a lot of sources.
I also heard about one week before that Chelsea also has the replacement for Lukaku in place. And I know that the player has been hearing a lot of negativity but, to be honest, 7 touches in 90 minutes is not just good enough.

There are so many rumours about Chelsea players now and this must be really worrying for the team. Because they can face a threat of losing many important players. And Kante is a very crucial player for Chelsea midfield right now. Losing him would cause a big power loss for Chelsea. And if Chelsea lose some important players in multiple positions, they will need to sign new strong players to keep the team solid. Tuchel is a great manager but he can't do a great job when he doesn't have a good lineup.

Have you read about the telegraph.co.uk and the superleague?

All the speculations are now frozen until next week.

Well, the thing is no one is going to give away free money, and obviously, Conte did the same. The club is in a difficult financial situation but I don't think that's too much of a concern for him, and it's also legal. It's not like he did something illegal and he should be punished or something like that for it.

Lukaku is also not going to miss out on a transfer chance from Chelsea obviously. Because he also wants the best for his career and also wants to move to bigger teams and to the leagues where the competition is higher.

I actually think that Mbappe wants to leave PSG for free. Otherwise, he would have at least said something. Or maybe another reason could be that he is actually not sure yet whether he wants to leave PSG or stay. That's why he is still not saying anything. Maybe he doesn't want to leave the company of Messi and Neymar.

On the other hand, Erling Haaland wants to leave in my opinion and there is quite good clarity between him and Dortmund. Haaland knows that he is not going to get much achieved if he stays in the club and wants to go somewhere else and make a big name for himself.

Tuchel is a great manager but he can't do a great job when he doesn't have a good lineup.

I think that is just a rumour not based on stron reports. He is from France so can understand being linked up to best team in France but I don't think he is gonna move there. He is happy with his current team at Chelsea. Regarding all the transfer rumours linked up to Chelsea, all the players are having their contract expired, manager is not much involved as much as the board is. They need to offer contract extension at right time before other teams proceed them and get a verbal agreement from them. Right now all the players that are reported to be leaving is because of that only whether it be Rudiger, Christensen or Azpilicueta.. but do note one thing that all the players respect Chelsea and hence are reported to be want to leave to teams other than PL clubs.

There was a solid reason why he wasn't great at United, and why he is not great at Chelsea neither. His play style doesn't suit Premier league and shouldn't have been bought.

This is not his fault, there are some leagues that play a certain way, every team on that league plays that type of way and Lukaku is not fit for that. Take him to Spain, or France, or Italy and he would be awesome and he would score a lot of goals, at England or Germany he wouldn't be good. He should definitely come back, it could be Inter, it could be Juventus, it could be Milan, doesn't really matter where but he should come back to Serie A before too long and be a king there instead of being a soldier at Premier league.

If you say Lukaku doesn't fit in the EPL, I don't think it's true either. He was very radiant when he played at Everton which made Chelsea and Manchester United interested in buying this player again.
But indeed Chelsea and Manchester United are not compatible with this Belgian striker.
It's very natural, actually, because Lukaku's style of play with the strategies applied by Chelsea and Manchester United is not quite in harmony which makes him unable to do much.
Maybe it would be better if Lukaku returned to Inter but the question is whether Chelsea will just let him go now

[alpamar99]

Until now there has been no further confirmation about this but I have seen some news indeed say that, some even say that Lukaku is willing to take a pay cut to return to Inter again.
Even though it looks like it will be quite difficult because Chelsea will not be able to let him go just like that now especially they have brought Lukaku quite expensively.

As the news that he is leaving is quite strong, and I believe that it will indeed happen.
Lukaku is not having at Chelsea what he had at Inter: affection from the fans and a clear importance in the game system. The Belgian hasn't been the most adored player by blues fans and doesn't seem to fit into Tuchel's system.
Money doesn't buy everything, and it's likely that what Chelsea has to offer is far more advantageous to Lukaku.

Chelsea's game, if you look further, actually doesn't really match Lukaku's style of play, which makes him not too comfortable there.
And maybe so far Inter's game has been much more suited to Lukaku's style.
Chelsea is actually quite good but indeed there are also a lot of rivals and indeed there are quite a lot of potential players at Chelsea which makes Lukaku not really able to get used to there.
But the problems that occur now may be more difficult for Lukaku to leave because apart from his contract, he still has a lot left at Chelsea

I think it will be pretty hard for Paris to really convince N'golo Kante to join them. I mean he already is in a club that can win the Champions League which they have already proven in the last season and i think he is already earning pretty well in Chelsea. I know that Paris is throwing out the money of the sheikh as if it is growing on trees but i doubt that Kante is that greedy that you would choose Paris over Chelsea just because he could earn 25 Million per season there instead of 18 Million or something that he gets at Chelsea.
What could be in favor of PSG is the fact that Kante is a frenchman of course, but he also is the fan favorite of the Chelsea fans...

I think is not easy ask N'golo Kante return to France although he want to play on last career with Ligue 1 as his country competition but looks not right now, he still as important player on Chelsea midfielder and success give a lot of achievemnt there from UEFA Champion League until Primer League trophy he will happy and looks still enjoy with Chelsea. Not have any rumors he want play for PSG and ghink still have potential midfielder player on PSG like Marco Veratti. I think PSGstill not need with N'golo Kante if have Veratti and looking new player after leaving by Veratti maybe is good decision.
