⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[bhooscream]

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.

That's good news, Real Madrid will be easier to sign him if he is a free agent.
Yes, I ever heard that he didn't want to extend his contract in Chelsea in the last year. But I think he may stay if Chelsea offers him a bigger salary. Now, it seems no chance for Chelsea to offer a bigger salary because this team isn't in a good situation. Abramovich left Chelsea, which means no longer big funds for Chelsea. They lost the biggest financial source already.

But on the other hand this might be a bit of an exchange there even though Rudiger will come as a free agent but Chelsea also want to prepare a replacement which they are after Eder Militao now. It's clear because they will lose Rudiger and Militao's performances this season have been good for Madrid even though he is still quite young but he is very good at defending.

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.

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.

Ok I don't know regarding the exact financial fair play rules, but true that he pumped a hell lot of money into the club. My response "very true words" was rather referring to your statement concerning Russia and that football clubs clearly lose in priority when at the same time there is war on the planet. That I agree with no matter what and it is right as you said that they put Abramowich on a black list.

Rudiger is one of the top top players with agression, personality, character, and he brings a whole big energy into the team.
If Real Madrid gets him, I think the defense get a bit reminiscent of Ramos, how he bullies all of this attacking players.

Despite the big sum's given to Kylian Mbappe, he has taken he's decision and that is final, come June he'll be the first to move to Real Madrid.
I a bit happy, as I have been anticipating to see him wearing and representing the badge.

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 think have change for Antonio Rüdiger leaving Chelsea as free transfer player on next window transfer opening after he not get deal about new contract extended after ask higher salary achieve and looks higher than last his contract before. With politician situation where Abramovich have leave Chelsea right now as the owner have indication for Antonio Rüdiger looking for new team for next window transfer, still not have potential for Chelsea if leaving by Abramovich can extended Antonio Rüdiger for several years later.

Real Madrid currently have Alaba and Militao who are a pretty solid defenders. The problem is that Real Madrid don't have good backup defenders.
while Real Madrid play in many competitions that require rotation of players. If we look at Real Madrid's reserve defenders whose quality is very far
from Real Madrid's main players, this is certainly a problem for Real Madrid. Therefore, Real Madrid need to bring in at least one defender who is
experienced and has the same quality as Alaba and Militao. So signing Antonio Rudiger is a very good decision, because Rudiger has proven to have
very good quality. After all, Real Madrid did not need to pay a transfer fee to get Rudiger, because Rudiger's contract will expire at the end of this season.

It seems to me that thinking about profit is just as important as about trophies - we can easily see this in the example of Barcelona, which has won many trophies but the club is on the verge of bankruptcy due to the financial policy of the management. Abramovich easily spent a lot of money on the club (and got a lot of trophies as a result) for the simple reason that it was not his money, but money stolen from the people of Russia. I think that the next owner of the club will be more rational and I don't see anything wrong with that.

^ I guess he just wanted the best for the club but by doing so he can not harm anyone else or cause anyone else any problem. But whatever he did, need for the best for the club. At least that I can say from football's perspective.

The club became one of the best. And a club will always have to think about the profits. Otherwise, we all know what happened to Barcelona, they are still in very big debt. I think the new Chelsea owner will also think like that and do what's best for the club.

As I understand it, financial fair play measures were introduced for these reasons, among other things - there were many who wanted (like Abramovich or sheikhs) to inflate the club's budgets with "easy" money. These measures have proven to be effective - the EPL is the most profitable football league in the world to my knowledge and now we see that English football clubs are close to dominating the international arena again.

Transfer rumours:

Paris St-Germain's Argentine boss Mauricio Pochettino, who has been linked with the managerial job at Manchester United, is reportedly keen to return to his old job as Tottenham manager. Is Pochettino really going back to his old club?
Manager Thomas Tuchel is concerned Chelsea will lose out-of-contract defenders Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen amid the uncertainty at the club after owner Roman Abramovich put the Blues up for sale. Spain's Azpilicueta, 32, has been linked with Barcelona, while Borussia Dortmund are interested in 25-year-old Dane Christensen, while Manchester United are reportedly keen on Germany international Rudiger, 29. Is a complete sale of the team being prepared? What will happen to Chelsea?
Manchester United have asked the representatives of Robert Lewandowski to keep them informed of the Poland striker's future at Bayern Munich, with Bavarian club reportedly trying to line up Borussia Dortmund's Erling Braut Haaland as the 33-year-old's successor. Lewandowski at Manchester United? How realistic that is?
Borussia Dortmund could sign Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic, 24, as a replacement for Haaland, 21, if the star leaves this summer. How much Jovic can really help Dortmund and replace Haaland?
Haaland's agent Mino Raiola has reportedly told Barcelona that they also have to sign another of his clients, Ajax's 24-year-old Morocco right-back Noussair Mazraoui, to maximise their chances of signing the Norwegian. Raiola really knows how to sell his footballers

It has been speculated too much so far that Pochettino will leave the team this summer and join Manchester United most probably. And it is likely to happen as long as PSG reach an agreement with Zinedine Zidane. Because Manchester United also have been interested in bringing him. But when it comes to the manager spot at Tottenham, I think it won't happen. Tottenham have Conte already and I don't think that they will prefer changing their manager in the near future. I believe that Tottenham can be more successful with Conte rather than Pochettino.

Manchester United are reportedly keen on Germany international Rudiger, 29. Is a complete sale of the team being prepared? What will happen to Chelsea?

Before the unfortunate news of Chelsea been up for sale I was confident of the club keeping Azpilicueta and Rudiger in the club but now that we're losing our owner, I don't think this deal can still be done. We mightn't be losing only the three you mentioned but some other big names might be leaving in the summer as well. We have players that haven't enjoyed the style of Thomas Tuchel  Rudiger isn't among this players so I don't support the reason behind the recent uncertainty of his Chelsea career.

Without Thomas Tuchel, no body would had known who Rudiger was and as for Azpilicueta, I know he need more playing time so as to participate in what would be his last  international career football (world cup) but him leaving Chelsea now wouldn't give him that club legend sent off. He can still get playing time he just need to negotiate that and stay at the club, if we can keep giving Tiago silver more years why can't we give him as well.

Braithwaite 'facing summer exit'

Martin Braithwaite is likely to leave Barcelona this summer after falling down the pecking order, according to Mundo Deportivo.

The former Middlesbrough striker has lost his place in the etam to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, while the signing of Ferran Torres and Ousmane Dembele staying at the club have further limited his minutes.

Braithwaite has a contract until 2024, but having not played a minute since January 20, Barca look set to push for a summer sale.

This is happening too fast for this lad, i remember at one point people said this guy would be the next messi and at the time he actually did put up a good show but whatever happened he fell out of favor of his managers who seem not to make him their top guy. Hope things change in his favor.

Azpilicueta wasn't a bad player, I have know him from the very first time he joined Chelsea, Caused a penalty in a final in his first season of which Ivanovich the right back came as a rescue to this game.
He's been a decent defender,has never caused a goal that lead to Chelsea been scored in the process, I'll rate him in the same level as Philip Lahm.
As for  Christensen, u wan h.to be the replacement for Gerrard Pique at Barcelona, and Manchester United moving for Rudiger ?
This might not come through as they have a lot to do, Maguire hasn't been kicked out already.
I saw this coming from the beginning, knowing Chelsea will be sanctioned soon.

Quite surprising news has come from barcelona today, it is reported that xavi is on his way to munich to have direct talks with haalaand, although it is still just a rumor but it looks like barcelona will target haalaand for them to bring in the transfer market next season.

On my twitter Halaand was trending after Xavi decided to go to Munich to talk about this but it looks like a good start for Barcelona who will sign him next season I hope this happens and Barcelona can strengthen this young player who is in high demand.
Whether Xavi can convince Halaand to dock for Barcelona later, this will surely come as a surprise and Mbappe to Madrid.

That is dope. But could be a boomerang at once , cant imagine if raiola + haaland himself reject barcelona and choose the rival real madrid ... could be a war between real madrid fans and barcelona fans , mocking each other lol.

The rumor has it but what makes xavi so confident to sign him? Fly to munich directly to talk about the possibility? But yeah it's worth to give a try.

According to a report by Deportes Cuatro, Barcelona prepared an offer of 190 million euros or Rp. 3 trillion with a contract duration of five years and Barca also lured Haaland a salary of 20 million euros in the first year.

What an insane bid for a dying team. I don't understand why they insist on it now. Precisely with this they will only get worse in their finances even though it is certain that there will be additional income from the arrival of Haaland but are they sure about this?

It's quite surprising that what Barcelona are doing now, it can be said that Barcelona's financial condition is still in a critical condition after the financial problems they faced at the start of the season, but surprisingly they tried to bid haalaand with a fairly high price (190 million euros), doesn't that just add to their financial problems later? Maybe the purchase of torres can still be understood because barcelona and manchester city made a 4-time payment agreement, but I don't think dortmund will want to do it.

Yes, I also saw on Instagram there are rumors like that, if this really happens how crazy Barcelona will be next season. How happy I am to see this happen. I think Xavi will be confused about which striker to play, And don't forget that Barcelona's midfield is also very good, maybe that will be. replaced with more qualified players. I think next season Barcelona will be a candidate to win the Champions League.

If the transfer materializes it will certainly make Barcelona front line quite dangerous, the arrival of Haaland will of course be a sufficient addition to strengthen Barcelona next season, but will it be worth the problems that Barcelona might get back if they bring in Haaland?
Right now barcelona have financial problems and they are forced to let messi go to PSG in order to balance the club finances, besides that they have to take a cut in player salaries to overcome the existing problems, so that if barcelona brings haaland later of course they will again make the club more problematic, because a player like Haaland doesn't want to be let go by Dortmund with a cheap price and a high salary demand must their certainly fulfill.
But the good news in my opinion, if barcelona succeeds in bringing haaland and mbappe to madrid, of course we will again see the rivalry of the two best young players later as happened between messi and ronaldo.

The most famous acting clown in the world, Conor McGregor, has announced that he is ready to buy Chelsea for 1.5 billion pounds 

Irish mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Conor McGregor has announced his readiness to buy the English football club Chelsea. He posted a related post on Twitter.

“I am putting forward my offer of £1.5 billion,” he wrote. Earlier it was reported that Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich intends to sell the English club for 4 billion pounds.

https://pledgetimes.com/mcgregor-ready-to-buy-chelsea/

I wonder why he makes such statements? Obviously, he does not have that kind of money or the authority to conduct such transactions on behalf of people who have such money. Or is there something I don't know?

Don't know what kind of game he is playing there.. also not sure about if he is serious at all. But I think there are many buyers who will give a best offer for the club and I am sure McGregor to own Chelsea will only be a dream. I am sure Abrahamovich will look for someone who can become a owner like he is and knows its more than just money and all. He owned the club for two decades (I think-not sure) and Chelsea had their ups and downs but he stayed. He wants to sell it to someone who has the same level of passion for the club like he does. And McGregor is nowhere near that.
