⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[minairia3]

The age of a professional football player is quite short and I think that Haaland has already achieved the maximum that can be achieved at Borussia Dortmund and it's time to move to a new level,

Not only about the age, but it is also about the chance. It is a perfect chance to move since many great offers from top clubs, this may not come twice. Those top clubs want to sign him with expensive transfer fees and a big salary if he wants to join them now. They may change their mind if Haaland cannot play well again in the next season with Dortmund, they may be not interested anymore. So, he will risk his career if he tries to stay in his current club.

Regarding his achievement in Dortmund, I agree if he already reached his maximum. He doesn't need to prove anything again there. What he must think is to have harder challenges with bigger clubs. So, he can be stronger than what he can achieve right now.

Erling Haaland moving to another club will be the best decision for his future because,
first of all, he has nothing to prove by staying in Dortmund as he is already carrying the team on his back
and secondly, he will have a better and brighter future in other clubs from which he is getting offers.

I don't think if he stays in Dortmund he will do any better than he is doing already. And I am sure he will perform even better in other clubs because there he will have better support from his teammates. I just don't want him to stay in Dortmund and regret the decision later.

How many club owners do you think watch the game as frequently as Abramovic? None. He has already stated that he will not sell the club to a non-passionate individual because he wants the club to continue expanding. This is one of the more difficult decisions he has had to make in his life, but we all understand that he wants to keep the club from being owned by the UK government.

  You made my day. I'm sorry, but I have nothing to tell you. Keep believing that Abramovchi earned (lol) his (lol) money honestly (lol).

The money from the club sales would be channel to a charity organized to send to the Ukraine citizens affected by the war and to rebuild some cities, he's also leading the delegate for peace talk in Belarus he has proven once again that he's not with Putin

It must be very hard for Roman but he has no choice but to just cut ties and make things easier for those related to club whether it be staff or fans.

The proceeds from the club sales would go to a charity that would deliver aid to Ukrainian citizens affected by the war and reconstruct some cities. He is also the Head delegate for peace talks in Belarus, proving once again that he is not a Putin supporter.

We cannot be certain Roman Abramovich's position on the Russian-Ukriane war. No one can tell a man's heart. What we can tell is the external we see, what we are seeing is a Russian billionaire who has been forced to sell his assets, forfeiting unpaid loans. The man is trying to make amends and pacify the Ukraine people, Abramovich didn't instigate the war. Why does he have to lose so much

As you said no one knows a man's heart. Even though Abramovich is now trying to do this, his close relationship with Putin is still one that will still be affected for Abramovich himself and we certainly don't know the heart of an Abramovich who will now give up all his assets. Is this really purely just for good or there are other reasons we also do not know this.
And now it is Chelsea who will definitely be affected by this even if Abramovich says this is for the common good but there will be a time where Chelsea is now in a period of Transition

United is tracking Rudiger's Chelsea situation, apparently as Maguire's replacement. Rangnick is supporting him publicly but he's made too many mistakes and United needs another senior player at CB anyway.
Rudiger would be cheap since his contract is expiring but it remains to be seen if he would not switch to Manchester due to loyalty to Chelsea. Somehow I doubt it though.

The other option mentioned is Barca's Araujo, he's having a really good season there.

Manchester United desperately need another centre back defender to replace Maguire, since he has been the main source of problems for the team's defense this season, and as a result of some of his errors, the Red Devils have been suffering this season. Purchasing Rudigar from Chelsea will be an excellent choice, yet the Blues may find it difficult to sell him to Manchester United.

[diderdrogba]

Erling Haaland's leaving the club this summer would definitely be a good choice for his own good. Dortmund will definitely try to keep him at the club but they must also be aware that they won't be able to do so that easy. They will just hope for Haaland to choose to stay here for one more season at least. But I have no expectation in that way. Haaland might even choose to leave this league and look for a brand new adventure in another top European league. And I hope that we can watch him at a team like Manchester City or Real Madrid.

I will be following this deal with great interest. I hope in the end Chelsea will be bought by some public person and not by a murky "investment fund" from some offshore. Because in this case, I will assume that this is a fictitious deal and Abramovich simply shifted the asset from one pocket to another in order to avoid sanctions. However, judging by the mood of the whole world, now it will be very difficult to do this.

Abramovic has been made the scapegoat of Russia's invasion of Ukraine; all of his properties are at risk of being taken over; he loves this club and never wanted to sell it, but he had no choice now to avoid sections; he's already sold his multimillion mansion; now he's put the club up for sale, and I believe he'd sell it to the right man who loves the club as much as he did. He'll be sorely missed. He was a guy of passion, and I hope the new owner sees the club for more than just riches.

Abramovic is abandoning the UK economy entirely.

I am from Russia, so in Abramovich I see first of all a bandit and a robber, and not a "good guy who loves football." I'm glad that the UK is expelling him, I'm glad that there comes some kind of limit after which the developed countries refuse blood money. I don't think that the change of ownership will hurt Chelsea but even if so, you probably understand that for me in these events the interests of the football club are not the priority at all.

Very true words, at least he sends the money he gets from the sale to Ukrainian victims if I am not mistaken. Still though the guy doesn't even care about losing a million. It might hit him hard though as he probably own a damn load of wealth in the UK which is now frozen. There might also be another guy or company buying up the club and pump money into it over the coming years.

Carlo Ancelotti has a close relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson but I don't think this will be a reason for Carlo Ancelotti to move to Man United. It's possible that Ancelotti was under pressure when he lost to PSG in the first leg of the Champions League, but Real Madrid still has a chance to beat PSG in the second leg. For example, Real Madrid had been knocked out in the Champions League but they had won La Liga, I don't think Ancelotti would have faced sacking. Maybe it would be different if Real Madrid failed in the Champions League and La Liga this season because if this were the case, Ancelotti would probably be sacked.

I read rumors about Carlo Ancelotti's news that Carlo Ancelotti will be appointed as Man United coach but are you sure he will agree to the contract next season because it is indeed a chance for the Champions League and LaLiga there is still great hope for Carlo Ancelotti to win it then I think these rumors will happens can also fail.
According to reports from Marca, Carlo Ancelotti has a special relationship with Ferguson, so this can convince the Madrid coach to leave next season.

Manchester United can easily afford a manager of Jurgen Klopp's or Pep Guardiola's quality, so why haven't they hired him. His ability to grind out results and get points on the board in any of Europe’s top leagues remains as good as ever. We all know that Carlo Ancelotti is one of the most decorated managers in modern football. He will be a good one especially his unparallelled man-management skills and the emotional intelligence that has enabled him to manage some of football's biggest egos. And I don’t even know if he will consider the job now that he’s on his second spell at Real Madrid and been selected as a new managerial option for Manchester United on the recommendation of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Regarding his achievement in Dortmund, I agree if he already reached his maximum. He doesn't need to prove anything again there. What he must think is to have harder challenges with bigger clubs. So, he can be stronger than what he can achieve right now.

We are also talking about money as well. Dortmund could pay him a decent amount but teams like Madrid, PSG, City and so forth could afford to buy him for a lot of money and then pay him a lot of money. There are only a few clubs in the entire world that could pay as much as 50 million or more on salary to a single player and he deserves to be a player that gets paid that much. Meaning he needs to leave, so that for the next 10 years or so he could get paid money that very rarely gets paid to a player.

Like sure Ronaldo and Messi got paid a lot, from a very young age, and that's understandable but Haaland could beat that if he starts getting paid right away now as well, because he is so young and could keep getting paid like that for a long time.

I'm not sure that the new owner will pump money into the club at the same pace as Abramovich. Firstly, it is now difficult to get around the requirements of financial fair play (when Abramovich bought the club, as far as I remember, there were no serious restrictions and you could invest as much money in the club as you like). Secondly, if this is a serious buyer from the business, and not a image buyer who makes a purchase for the sake of a "trophy", then he will be worried about the rationality of spending.

Agree with what you said because indeed the boundaries now may be slightly different than in the past which made this happen and on the other hand even though this is a great team it doesn't mean the new owners have the image to increase the performance for Tropy which indeed this would require a much bigger expense because this will probably affect the expense ratio as you say.
I think this will be a different transition if new investors will have an assessment of the business, even though with the presence of trophies and big profits, they have to be willing to make sacrifices at the beginning.

United is tracking Rudiger's Chelsea situation, apparently as Maguire's replacement. Rangnick is supporting him publicly but he's made too many mistakes and United needs another senior player at CB anyway.
Rudiger would be cheap since his contract is expiring but it remains to be seen if he would not switch to Manchester due to loyalty to Chelsea. Somehow I doubt it though.

The other option mentioned is Barca's Araujo, he's having a really good season there.

That's an interesting development but don't know why but I think Rudiger will move to some place other than PL. I am glad to see him getting good offers I read somewhere about Madrid taking interest in him. We will get to know his next team only if he leaves Chelsea and there is still scope of contract extension. Chelsea are trying to get to defender demands but so far it is reported that he has been rejecting all the offers offered till now.

Rudiger is the most vital player that chelsea has in their defense besides Thiago Silva, so far Chelsea and Rudiger continue to find a dead end in reaching an agreement on a contract extension, Rudiger demands for a big salary are the reason why both parties are difficult to reach an agreement, now PSG and Madrid are two big clubs who really want Rudiger and I think a club that can offer a big salary is likely to get Rudiger next season, it looks like this season will be last season for Rudiger at Chelsea, especially now Chelsea are starting to approach some players who plays as a defender to fill the hole left by Rudiger next season.

Manchester United to go for Antonio Rüdiger? It would be really wonderful on their behalf as they are really bad at defending now. Manchester United have conceded many goals due to simple mistakes so far. Maguire is not a reliable defender I'm afraid. And he can even be one of the most disappointing defender transfers in the club history too. If Manchester United create a better defensive line for next season, they can be more assertive for even the title too. But when it comes to Rüdiger transfer, I don't see their chance as high as there are bigger clubs in line already.

Manchester this season has a pretty bad defense and of course they should evaluate their defense next season, I think maguire is one of the players that should be reserved or better sell him to another club in the transfer market, so far maguire has not well  played in guarding the manchester defense and he often makes fatal mistakes that cost the team, I also think rudiger could be the right choice to replace maguire, but the problem now is rudiger has a desire to get a high salary at his new club and I doubt manchester will want to fulfill rudiger wishes.

It's a rare case where chelsea players directly join club rival and i dont think rudiger would be one of them , he's typical loyal player who will not making anybody get hurt despite yeah we have seen i all how rudiger being antagonistic and agressive in the field , i still dont think rudiger could do that to chelsea fans.

It's not a short time , he's been there at chelsea since 2017 .. 5 years sweet memories wont be traded to something like this. Rudiger wont move to chelsea's rival .

With the current situation in Chelsea, Rudiger may consider the offer from Real Madrid. He is a perfect central defender for Real Madrid, he will be the main player there. I am sure Rudiger prefers to move to Real Madrid than moving to Man United. He doesn't see any special thing to be achieved in Man United. While in Real Madrid, he can have the chance to win UCL and La Liga trophies. And also other international trophies.

Rudiger was already a free agent and wanted to leave anyway.
The current situation will change probably nothing for him since his decision was to leave Chelsea.

And yes he probably goes to Real Madrid as rumors say.

Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans has reportedly not reached a new deal with the club. If there is no deal maybe the summer he will leave immediately. But it looks like Brendan Rodgers still needs him. According to the news I heard Man United and Arsenal are scrambling to get him.

Antonio Rudiger was devalued for a long time by Chelsea... then only when his contract is about to expire do they announce a decent payment? Rudiger knows that it's not difficult to get that value at another big club, and he's doing the right thing.... if it wasn't valued before, there's no point in chasing it now.
I hope Rudiger manages to find a good placement in a respected team!

I also have very big doubts that the new owners will also invest in Chelsea the way Abramovich did. The arrival of new owners may also not have the most favorable effect on the team's results, no matter how Tuchel said at the same time that this situation does not affect him in any way.  Also, the fact that this is happening in a hurry also cannot put an imprint on this sale, because the new owners are going to buy the club at a big discount, taking advantage of the complexity of the situation and not the fact that they are able to maintain the financing of the club at the same level. I wouldn't be surprised at all if after a while the new owners resell the club to their advantage.

Not only Rudiger but also Azpilicueta are now indicated to be leaving with free agent status as well because the two defenders seem compact and have not received a new contract until now.
Madrid has always been a team with strong conversations about Rudiger because indeed they still have problems at the back due to the void left by Sergio. Even though there are already Militao and Alaba but the emptiness is still felt for them
