⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[SatoPrincess]

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.

It would have been a plus had Rudiger been a member of the team already, Madrid's defence is very porous. Good thing that they will also play in the next champions League regardless of this one with Rudiger and some other additions to their team.

Reece James is also under the Madrid radar, with both of them, the Madrid's defense will be better and Cavarjal will have a replacement. Reece James also due to his style of play will be very beneficial to Mbappe, he is needed.

Although Reece James may not come in as immediately as Rudiger, it is rumoured that Real Madrid plan to get Reece James in the 2023 transfer window and not this one, so Rudiger will come in first.

Rudiger career really got resuscitated at Chelsea, he became a big defender to be recon with, so it is really a shame Chelsea is in a situation of losing him. No doubt, he has been so good to watch this season. I hope he doesn't end up like Hazard and others who were great at their team but became a flop when they move to Real Madrid.

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.

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

I think Barcelona won't mind selling Frenkie De Jong off for the right price though, he has not be a productive signing until recently. He was poor under Koeman who brought him to the club but seems to be instrumental in helping Barcelona earn valuable points under Xavi.
I think the rumor of Manchester United bidding or considering a move for him could be true because Erik Ten Hag knows the player since he was at Ajax FC before.

I don't think so, in fact Xavi will lose if this player leaves. Even though he is not productive enough but he is very good at guarding the Barcelona midfield and indeed he is very good at making moves as a force in the midfield.
They have to make the most of this player and if they let go of this player it will be a loss in my opinion

Barcelona, long before the covid, spent space money on salaries and purchases of players such as Neymar, Ibrahimovic, Villa, etc. but before covid their debt was in adequate condition. During the covid two years, their debt has increased (if I remember the timing correctly) by more than a billion. Many clubs suffered during this period, but Barcelona was among the record holders due to their management, but the impact of covid on this cannot be denied.

I would say Neymar , Ibrahimovic ,Villa are not the ones... these were the signings which gave them result. You are going a long way back in my opinion. I would say signings like Coutinho , Griezmann which were mega signings but never proved fruitful for the club so bad management in terms of new signings in/after 17-18 is what took them. Their financial status was much much better when before 17-18. Also yes covid took an impact but you gotta see were Barca the only one on which it took an impact. Yeah it proved to be beating to the wound but the real fact is that they were about to get into financial crisis eventually. I would put the majority of blame to bad management back then , covid is also one of the reasons but that was same for every club.

Recee James to Real Madrid is nothing but rumours as he will end with Chelsea as a legend.
Antonio Rudiger became a better defender since the approval of Thomas Tuchel as Chelsea Coach.
He had fewer game's under Frank Lampard as Christensen had more games than Rudiger, he has the mentality of a warrior dame as Ramos, a good replacement you think?

[_BlackStar]

Based on several sports media reports that I have read, it looks like PSG will lose a lot of players next season who decide to move to other teams. I think Mbappe and some of his friends will leave PSG for a career with another team that has a better chance of winning the Champions League title next season and this will leave a hole for PSG.

Messi has also not ruled out leaving again next season, but I'm sure he will honor his contract if Mbappe decides to move. But in other news, Pochettino and Mbappe will stay at PSG next season and I believe that is a rumor that is not certain to happen next season. If many PSG players decide to leave next season, then PSG will certainly spend a lot of money to get a replacement. Obviously they can do it thanks to their financial strength, but maybe not much if in the end the players currently rumored to end up staying next season.

Reece James to Madrid is pure rumour. I don't see any legit sources claiming the news but yeah he is a great talent and Madrid is a dream for young potential players so yeah can see the linkup but given the contract he has at Chelsea and no signs of discontent from the player at current club, I don't see this rumour getting real soon.

Lampard neglected lot of players when he was at club. He left out Alonso and that's why he brought in Chilwell , Rudiger was also a player left out. Lampard was a disciplinary coach and maybe he was trying to discipline them? But yeah some great talents were left out of the regular squad then but later on those players under Tuchel achieved something unreal- CL.

I think Mbappè will stay in Paris for 2 more years otherwise why is he just not announced yet his departure for Madrid?

Unless he will go to another team.

Your review is very accurate in my opinion about the condition of Chelsea players when coached by Frank Lampard. In my opinion, Lampard is a bad coach for Chelsea. So many players are ignored by him.

If Reece James moves to Real Madrid, it will be a good thing for him because he is suitable to play in the Spanish capital club considering his young age. Real Madrid will be helped in attacking from the flanks because James is a good full-back in assisting the attack. On the other hand, Reece James could be a substitute for Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vasquez.
However, Reece James is also prone to injury.

Bad coach? I would say he was more like a coach putting lot of emphasis on discipline. There have been lot around and some of them have been successful also (now I don't know names) but discipline till one point is good but not too much. Lampard stretched things a bit too far and continued even when the team wasn't performing. In my opinion, he is new so not much experience but discipline is a must in manager so he got that part right..also he made some mistakes but that's part of a professional journey.. isn't it?

Another example of disciplinary coach is Arteta.

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 totally agree with your opinion, I have searched a lot of media, I even searched the sports media, I didn't hear a word from Zidane's mouth, that he was not interested in coaching the English team, I think all great coaches really want to coach an English club. Moreover, big clubs like Liferpol, Man City and Chelsea, before Pepguardiola coached Manchester City, there were also many rumors that he was not interested in coaching a team from England, but the proof is that now he is very happy to coach Manchester City, in my personal opinion, if there is a good agreement, and the appropriate salary is certain, any great coach would want to coach a club from England.

Mbappe has been linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent seasons but he has not announced it until now. Everything can change just like that when he is interested in the team's vision and mission for the long term, especially when he gets a higher salary offer than before.

He might stay, but either way he really wants to be a Champions League winner in his career and that can be done with any other team regardless if it's Madrid or any team.

Zidane doesn't strike me as someone who would coach any other country except his own home country France. I don't think he is interested in coaching anyway, because after his career at Real Madrid he hasn't trained any club anymore. Someone who is really interested in coaching would have started at another club a long time ago. I think there were or are enough clubs that are interested in him. Or maybe PSG? A club other than PSG or Real Madrid does not seem conceivable to me. Although we have seen more strange transfers in the football world. For example, between players from Barcelona and Real Madrid.

For Mbappe; i do not think it is about the pay, because he earns considerably very high at PSG. Mbappe simply wants to be the poster boy next season. If you recollect; PSG League triumph had everyone praising messi; instead of Mbappe who scored 70% and 50% of PSG ggoals and assist in the french league this season, last season it was Neymar. This is what Mbappe wants to correct by going to Real Madrid as a king!!!

Yep, it has been a long time since the first time we heard a rumor that Mbappe wants to move to Real Madrid. The media never stopped blowing up the possibility related to the Mbappe rumor to Real Madrid. I sometimes become a bit bored reading too many rumors about Mbappe, nothing is clear and no statement from him. In the latest rumor, we heard PSG is trying to extend his contract by offering a higher salary. If Mbappe only focuses on money and prefers staying in France, so yes he may not move to Real Madrid in the next season. Regarding the vision and mission of the team, Real Madrid should have a better concept of it. It just depends on Mbappe's interest.

Unless he will go to another team.

Mbappe rumors are still circulating now but rumors like this will only be the same as the Haaland rumors which are endless now but there is no official confirmation about it.
I still hope that he will be at Madrid next season but the problem is sometimes it doesn't live up to expectations because as you said when he decided he wanted to move there was definitely a lot of news coming back but now nothing like this has happened.

Have close rumors Haaland than Mbappe still speculative about his future keep stay with PSG and continue extending new contract or leaving PSG and move to Real Madrid. Another talent player Haaland have close rumors with Manchester City after have personal agreement and waiting with transfer value from Borrusia Dortmund, how much money will spent by Manchester City for Haaland transfer.

It's never one player that really destroys a clubs financials, it's keeping the club unprofitable or spending more than they should by their own league rules that causes it. If you keep it at a level where it's profitable and allows you to earn each year, or even lose enough to abide the rules, then there shouldn't really be a problem.

I personally believe that we should be focusing a bit more on not a single player but the system that they were buying and paying for these players. If you make X amount of money and spend X+ then it will never end well. Barceloan did this, and that is why they are in financial distress. A team that pays 1 billion to a player and then makes 1.1 billion wouldn't really be in trouble, so it is just about financials and nothing more.

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.

Well that's just 'being ideal' and the man and I had a discussion about him becoming PSG coach, at least there was a hint of that. That he might be ideal for PSG I don't argue, but I don't think he will be the coach of that team after all. I haven't seen any confirmed rumours that he's been in contact with PSG representatives

According to speculations,Arsenal are on the verge of signing Manchester city forward  Gabriel Jesus.It is believed that Arsenal have met with Jesus' representative and have discussed a deal in principle,with reports suggesting that Jesus have agreed to sign for Arsenal,who are in need of a center forward that will lead their attack next season following the departure of Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketia this summer.
If the rumours are true,then Jesus will be a very good addition to the gunners squad.Nevertheless,it is left to be seen whether Arsenal will sign him or not.
