⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Zidane? For PSG? I doubt they can sign him. He's certainly a great coach and one of the best players in the past, who has proven by the example of Real Madrid that he can coach excellently. But things are different in the French league. PSG have few rivals in the league, I don't think Zidane would be interested in that offer, I think he is more interested in coaching where the competition is high

zidane is a former madrid coach and also a french citizen so I think it will be a new challenge for Zidane if he is the coach of PSG

I wouldn't be surprised if Zidane became the next PSG coach because this news and rumors have been circulating since a few months ago

Rumours are rumours. Is there any credible confirmation that Zidane has been in contact with PSG? I don't think so, only theories and speculation and the fact that he is French says nothing. If you had said he could be the coach of the French national team I would have agreed but the French club is different.

Don't you think PSG can go any length to convince Zidane and as a french citizen he can easily be won over to PSG. in my opinion PSG currently is the most perfect club that will be suitable for his game tactics seeing the caliber of players the club has at the moment. The probability he will settle for PSG is 4/6 if a dice was rolled

I don't know what bones you're going to roll there if there has been absolutely no confirmed information about his move to PSG as head coach, just rumours that are unsubstantiated and unsubstantiated in any way. The only substantiation I see in your post is that he is a French citizen. About the tactics of the game, why not Manchester City? They are similar in some ways, should Zidane be City's coach then?

Zidane will never coach a team in England. That's just a team in Spain or in France. And Pochetino is also just a mediocre trainer. The problem is that with this team you have to win everything there is to win, if you don't you have automatically failed. Not winning the Champions League in 2 seasons means being fired. Louis van gaal would be an option next year, but I don't think he speaks French. It is not easy to find a good and experienced coach. Zidane would be a perfect option for PSG.

It's very clear Xavi wants to keep this player, because it's clear he already knows that their midfield is still struggling even though in the last few games they have always dominated. and if he leaves the gap in the midfield becomes more and more open and Xavi doesn't want this to happen.
I personally doubt that he will leave now because his position at Barcelona is still quite safe now

De Jong is a player who has been in Barcelona for a long time, since being signed from Ajax in 2019, de Jong continues to be one of the important players in the Barcelona squad, but I think it will be very difficult for Barcelona to retain De Jong in the future, because as far as I know , Ten Hag who is also from the Netherlands, of course have a close relationship with De Jong, so I don't think De Jong will think twice about moving to Manchester United next season, besides that if we look at De Jong situation, De Jong is actually not comfortable playing with Xavi style, often de jong was not able to bring out his best performance under xavi training because he was often forced to play more forward and obviously that was outside his position as a midfielder so far, in fact several times it was seen that de jong was very annoyed when xavi replaced him with other players, that's what why do i think de jong will accept an offer that will be from manchester united next season.

Even if that's the case of course this is not the right reason when Xavi's offer is better.
De Jong must have thought about that but considering that at Manchester United there are now quite a number of midfielders they also have to make reductions there if they really want De Jong to be there, don't let De Jong move his talents to disappear because he is only on the bench like Van De Beek some time ago

Rudiger to Real is almost a deal done and it will be announced soon according to Fabrizio Romano.

I think a player of Coutinho quality should have never played for a team like Aston Villa at this stage of his career if he never ran out of luck at Barcelona. He seems to be playing well when loaned out, he was decent at Bayern Munich and now at Aston Villa. Maybe Aston  Villa should grab the opportunity of signing him permanently as they are still seeking to have a creative player. Newcastle United have been showing interest in the player too, it's best for Aston Villa if they can act fast.

He did play well but he didn't play well enough. You need to realize that he is one of the reasons why Barcelona is in big debt. Not the only reason of course since Barcelona spent insane amount of money for players and then didn2t get contributions from them, they had plenty of players like that and still do.

However, Coutinho was like 130 million euro worth player who ended up not being valuable enough like that. If he was like maybe 40 million such as talked here, then Barcelona could have kept him, and the salary would be according to that instead of what it is today. However, since he was paid so much, Barcelona expected a lot more from him, more than what he provides right now.

I don't see how Coutinho contributed to the debt Barcelona is in now. Barcelona is in debt because they mismanaged the funds gotten from Neymar's sale and Coutinho contract wasn't the most elaborate amongst the players at Barcelona then. Barcelona wasn't the right fit for him and since he wasn't producing the kind of performances he had at Liverpool, it was quite easy to make him scapegoat.

Rudiger is going to be a really great transfer for Real Madrid defense. I really miss the times that they had a solid defense line in the past. They can strengthen their defense a lot by adding Rudiger to the team this summer. We all saw how they struggled against Manchester City for example. It is a proof for how much they need to do something about their defense certainly. I would really like to see Real Madrid bringing back their old times by getting stronger in defense and offense both next season. I say offense too because they are close to signing Mbappe as well.

He'll bring Agression and Vibrancy into that defense, Alaba and Militao are all bag of disgrace at times, take a good example at the game in the UEFA Champions League. Militao also flopped during the game against Chelsea.
I know this are back up player's for the main timeaa they won't represent in the far future, good luck to Rudiger ahead in Spanish La Liga.

The rumours about De Jong are heated, I strongly doubt De Jong will want to leave Barcelona though and except he is frustrated at the club that would be the reason he can join Manchester United. If not that, who wouldn't want to play in the champion's league? Manchester United seems like they won't make top four, maybe De Jong might consider other clubs.

Rudiger to Real is almost a deal done and it will be announced soon according to Fabrizio Romano.

As Antonio Rudiger's move to Real Madrid draws closer, especially if Fabrizio Romano, who is known as a transfer expert, spoke saying that Rudiger
had reached a verbal agreement with Real Madrid, it is something that will come true. Even Real Madrid reported that they had scheduled
a medical examination for Rudiger. This means that Rudiger's move to Real Madrid for free will soon become a reality.

In fact, Rudiger is one of Chelsea's best defenders and has always been Thomas Tuchel's first choice. This is certainly a disadvantage for Chelsea,
moreover Rudiger was released by Chelsea for free. The arrival of Rudiger will be an important solution for Real Madrid, which for this season Real Madrid
rely too much on Eder Militao and David Alaba, without any substitute defender who has almost the same quality. But with the arrival of Rudiger
will make Carlo Ancelotti there is another option in the position of defenders. In other words, the arrival of Rudiger further strengthens
the Real Madrid defense.

The rumours are all false and its not happening; it is the usual gimmicks by top players who seek to renew the contracts at their present clubsides to a better one. De Jong is key at Barcelona and would not be leaving soon; he just wants a new Barcelona contract. Manchester United targets are nil at this point. Any links to MUFC are mere contract push by players agent

Zidane would not come into a less competitive club with no discipline and solid attitude. He's intending to be the mentor for France national team.

I don't think Zidane only wants to manage a solid and competitive team. Remember when Zidane managed Real Madrid for the first time, that club was in a bad situation. And after he managed it, then Real Madrid became a solid team and they got some trophies, including UCL trophy. It indicates Zidane won't manage an established team only.

Zidane is a talented, and surely won't take the risk.

If he thinks he is talented enough, he must be brave to take risks.
Anyway, I don't think Zidane is a person like you think. I have explained above, that he wanted to take a risk when he managed Real Madrid. It was his debut as a professional coach for the main squad of one of the biggest clubs in the world. It was very risky, the opponent was Barcelona. But he successfully got great achievements there.

I think rumor about De Jong are really true because he looks frustrated when Xavi Hernandez arrived on Barcelona. De Jong most active on the bench and looks not happy without get regular position. Another news Manchester United under Erik Ten Hag are intersted with De Jong and try negotiating how to get him on next window transfer, will be option for Barcelona get much money by selling De Jong to Manchester United.

I believe that he’ll tempted because he’ll get to play under Ten Hag again, and he’ll be reunited with his friend Van De Beek hence this transfer will definitely appeal to him. Furthermore Manchester United is a big club, and he knows that he’ll become a key player for many year’s to come if the transfer is successful therefore I do believe that he’ll make the switch.

Barcelona wasn't the right fit for him and since he wasn't producing the kind of performances he had at Liverpool, it was quite easy to make him scapegoat.

Barcelona's debts are about 5 times higher than the amount they received from the sale of Neymar. I think the main reason for Barcelona's debts is the mistakes of the management that inflated the budget and did not think about the risks. As soon as the risks occurred - covid happened and the clubs' revenues plummeted. Barcelona flew into a financial abyss very quickly.

I think Xavi will be keen on keeping Frenkie De Jong, he has been instrumental to the revival of Barcelona since Xavi took over, winning valuable points for the team. If Barcelona would ever allow him leave which I think won't be a smart decision, swapping him with Rashford is even worse of a decision. If Manchester United desperately need Frenkie they should spend the money not giving Barcelona Rashford for the bargain.

I wouldn't blame him if he didn't though. I mean Rashford is definitely a horrible swap, a player that worth’s 110 million should be sold directly, and if you are getting a player in return, it should still be paid on top of that and a huge sum as well. But, if United spends 110 million on De Jong then they won't be able to pay anyone else at that point. This is why I believe that either this will not happen or it will happen straight up.

Xavi likes De Jong for sure but with 110 million he could get 2 Ferran Tores level players and that would be al ot better for the team in the long run. They need to pay their debts as well and selling a player would help a lot.

Since he has been barely performing on the field, there is no surprise as he has only been given narrow chances. De Jong is more active on the bench than on the pitch. He needs to leave. A deal for Frenkie de Jong is being discussed by both Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United. Man Utd needs him now, and I highly recommend signing him.

It would be a smart move for Barcelona if they really aim to bring Lewandowski to the team this summer. Lewandowski is very likely to leave the team soon as it seems. He is still showing an insane performance and he would strengthen the Barcelona lineup very much. Aubameyang has contributed to the team very well since he joined them. But it would be much better for Barcelona to sign a top striker like Lewandowski to be much more effective in scoring goals. They would like to play bigger next season in the end.

if barcelona manages to hire Lewandowski, they will be able to solve all the problem of lack of goals, because currently the biggest problems of barcelona are in attack and a little in defense, but in defense they can solve with time, in attack they need to solve it urgently if they want to dream of being la league champions next season. and if barcelona have more ambition something like they want to win the league of fields then they would need to sign more players besides Lewandowski. one thing i heard on tv was that barcelona are not going to spend a lot of money on hiring expensive players to avoid being bankrupt, i wonder how they will manage the funds and have good players?

As far as I know, they have got a lot of money now after signing a sponsorship deal with Spotify. However, I still don't think that they are too rich now. They are still trying to make their finance much healthier. And they can't achieve their goal as long as they try to sign a very highly-valued players this summer. Lewandowski wouldn't cost them too much indeed. But for example, they can't go for a player like Haaland I guess. There were some rumours like Barcelona might answer Real Madrid with signing Haaland if they go for Mbappe. But I think that it will remain as just rumours.

Actually de jong was an active player before xavi coaching at barcelona, ​​but because xavi playing scheme that was not suitable for de jong playing position made him unable to display his best performance as a midfielder, de jong frustration was often vented with annoyance every time xavi replaced him with other players, that's why I also think that De Jong will not refuse if there are other clubs who want to sign him next season including Manchester United.

Zidane will never coach a team in England. That's just a team in Spain or in France

I am really curious to know your reason for stating the above categorically, has Zidane ever at anytime said he would never coach in England, and if he has then can you help me with a link to it, so i can read/watch it myself. AFAIK Zidane should be open to work anywhere, except of course for a rival to a team he has coached previously (like Barcelona). It would be interesting to see Zidane coach in England, but it will depend on the team and the offer he is approached with. I am not saying Zidane's next job is going to be with an English team, but what i am saying is that you can never rule out Zidane coaching an English team somewhere along the line in his coaching career.

I dont think that covid had the biggest part in Barcelona`s financial problems. They made huge salaries and bought some outrage transfers that killed them. They now will need at least 10 years to go back into positive. The good thing is their deal with spotify that will help them financially really big. They need to focus on their youth academy and getting free transfers.

I know this are back up player's for the main timeaa they won't represent in the far future, good luck to Rudiger ahead in Spanish La Liga.

Rugider is such a complete defender who as well overlap and attack his opponent aggressively and very powerful in aerial ball and has ability to play long range on target shots, it's a pity Chelsea will lose his services to Real Madrid who had offered him a juicy and better contract. I think his combination with Alaba at the back line of Real Madrid defence line will be more stronger and formidable, truly Militao is not that competent after Verane left Bernabeu to old trafford and Ramos to PSG, Madrid defence had not very too solid except Alaba who had been helpful at the back.
