⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

I didn't know that Marcus Rashford had a 12-month extension option on his contract to be triggered. Manchester United have started to negotiate with some of their important players for extending their contracts. He is one of these players currently. If they don't convince him to extend then they will guarantee one more year by triggering the option at least. Maybe Rashford might not rush things about extending his contract with the team. Because he heard about some interest by PSG before and he would like to wait to see if he will get any offer.

Manchester United are in talks with De Gea at the same time because his contract is ending next summer normally just as Rashford. De Gea is the most important part of the team now actually so they should do their best to convince him. If it wasn't for his great saves so far the team would have been in a much worse condition.

Bayern really thought they could cope without a striker, not knowing that they are not used to it and badly for them, they are in dare need of a striker and strikers are scarce. The good ones are committed to their clubs for now, it will really be a long difficult season for Bayern if they don't figure out how to overcome this challenge.
January is too far but not too far. Too far because they are not sure Kane would be interested to join them, not too far calendar wise.

Yep, they thought wrongly.

They always played with a big number 9 in the mid of the attack.
Moving from Lewa in attack to no one to be like the Man City of the past years with no number 9, is not ad easy and fast change.

To be honest I think they could go for Lautaro Martinez next year.

Do you think that Bayern will not try to bring a player by the winter transfer window?
The situation there is quite critical. They aren't winning in most games as they used to do. I am even worried how they will perform in CL after group stage or even during it

Reportedly Sergio Busquet will play in MLS. Barcelona have prepared money to find a replacement for Busquet if his decision to leave Barcelona is certain.
There are three names of players who are included in Barcelona's target list. The three candidates are Martin Zubimendi, Rodri, and Joshua Kimmich.
According to a report from Football Espana, Sergio Busquet will strengthen Inter Miami in MLS.

Busquet is already 34 years old, we can understand if he wants to leave Barcelona to MLS. Since Barcelona have some midfielders, I think Barcelona is not really needed (not urgent) for the new midfielder to change him. But if Barcelona thinks to sign a new defensive midfielder, I think Rodri or Kimmich are the best options. However, I am not sure it will be easy to sign them because both players are key players of big clubs. From the candidate list, only Martin Zubimendi is possible to sign by Barcelona.

He has never had interest with the move to Paris Saint Germans, that was really initiated by his brother so Manchester United could raise his salary they had initially with him.
Erik Ten Hag has also cleared those talks about him saying they have long term plans with him ( Marcus Rashford ) he was indeed Manchester Uniteds pivot during the second season with Ole Gunner Solskjear but all didn't go as planned for that season as he got injured.

Good they want to keep David De Gea at Manchester United, he has been a good shot stopper not until the Introduction of Harry Maguire and some lazy defending. Chris Smalling loaned or sold was far better than H-M!

But about the Chelsea coach I totally agree with you, he was a great coach last season and could very well continue in the same vein and do it now, but for some reason the management decided otherwise. He will be perfect for Bayern, he has German roots, he will work well with the team.

Basically Thomas Tuchel start his coaching career from FC Augsburg II which became part of the German association football club. Tuchel has 10 seasons of experience in the German league including Borussia Dortmund
It will be a plus if Tuchel returns to the Bundesliga to manage Bayern, he is already familiar with the local league and for competitions outside the Bundesliga, his experience at PSG and Chelsea will be a consideration to see the quality of coach Thomas Tuchel in managing the club.
I fully support Bayern planning to bring him to the Allianz Arena

I so also support this decision, it only remains that the deal would take place, but I would still give the current coach a chance to try to fix the situation. For example, give him 4 games and see how the team plays under him. And if not, of course replace him with Thomas. The main thing is not to be too late to do it. Now the situation is still more or less correctable

The veteran midfielder claims no decision has yet been made. He said the rumors were not true and were just rumours. "I can't tell you anything because it's nothing, it's just rumours," Busquets explained

for now it looks like he is dismissing the news that he will leave Barca in the near future but he has also explained in several interviews that he is aware that he is not young anymore so changing clubs is the best option to keep the team in shape

my personal opinion is actually he knows that barca are trying to get rid of him but because he is still under contract and in love with barca he prefers to stay for a while

we'll see next year, whether busquets will move from barca or not!

I also do not think that Bayern has much problem or their current problem is something they cannot solve. They have good guys and people that gets goal from Mane to Gnabry, to Muller to Sane etc. All these are great players and goal getters, I feel like if the coach tries more pattern of play, he can get the best form for the team. He should stop using what has been working and has stopped working, think out of the box, do something and move that great team forward.

Currently it seems increasingly intense when Bayern want Kane for a transfer break later.
There are currently reports that Bayern reportedly asked Kane not to extend his contract and wooed Kane by saying that he can be a great goalscorer and will score many goals at Bayern although this ignited Conte's emotions by calling it disrespectful.
With news like this, it's clear that Tottenham are inflamed because we know Kane has also not been comfortable at tottenham a few seasons before.

Harry Kane is a world-class player. I would say Tottenham is not the right place for Kane. He will never win a title with this team. And it's a pity that a great striker like Kane won't win a title in his career.
Kane is a 29-year-old. This is the perfect time to find a new team. Bayern Munich is the perfect choice for Harry Kane. Kane could win both the Bundesliga and Champions League titles if he plays well with Bayern Munich. I would say Kane should join Bayern Munich. He will never win a title at Tottenham. However, Harry Kane is extremely loyal to the Tottenham team. He probably doesn't want to leave Tottenham.

I've even seen a lot of people say this in the past and maybe even from him when asked for from City and that's quite natural because he's a pretty good striker so a lot of people think that Tottenham is not the right place for Kane.
But the problem is that when Tottenham don't want to let him go then there is nothing that can be done, even if Kane will not renew his contract but his contract will still last until 2024.

The coach and management have tried their best to progress and strengthen the strength of Bayern Munich, by bringing in players like Mane they hope the composition of the game is still safe and can get a win with a large number of goals, but when they can't work as a team that's all become messy and the coach's goals will not be realized properly.

This might happen if Nagelsmann still can't lift Bayern's performance because this is the worst possibility for Nagelsmann later.
Bayern has yet to make an official decision, which means there is still an opportunity for Nagelsmann to improve their performance.
Now it depends on what Nagelsmann does when he still wants to coach Bayern, so he has to overhaul the scheme he has applied so far.

I think they will draw a good graph at UCL. Looking at the points they lost in the league, everyone can easily say that they did not play badly. Let's not see if things don't seem to be going well. In my opinion, Bayern's squad is very strong. They also achieve certain success in the champions league.

It's true that it's not as easy as we imagine replacing Allegri with another coach, especially when Juventus is experiencing financial problems.

Yes, financial problem is always another obstacle to getting a reputable coach or player. Juventus must expect a top coach, but the top coach asks for something that Juventus cannot fulfill, including buying more players that a new coach wants to sign in the next transfer window.

there are rumors that say Juventus will still give Allegri an even longer chance to improve Juventus performance.

It is a bad idea to keep Allegri. He fails to strengthen Juventus, it is time to fire him. We can't expect to give him more chances to make a better performance for Juventus. On the contrary, Juventus can be weaker and weaker, and may be out of the top 10 in Serie A table. No one expects to see Juventus situation be worse.

Selling Lewandowski is a thing of the past - there is no point in talking about how good it would be if he stayed or something like that. Now Nagelsmann has to work with what he has - either change the game plan, taking into account the fact that Bavaria does not have a center forward, or endure until the winter transfer window and buy Ronaldo (this will be the only option in winter). I don't see any other options given the state of the market and the frugality of Bavaria.

Agreed, there is no point of sitting and whining about decisions that are already. I also think it is time to move on from the past and look forward to the future of the club, its time to focus on improvement and Bayern at the moment needs a new striker which should be looked into probably in the January transfer window or looking out for free agents to strengthen Bayern's attack.

Munich will be aggressive from now on to find a central striker. they already have a strong team. but indeed they are in trouble with their squad in the league.
but it won't take long, I'm sure Munich will soon emerge from this situation. the winter transfer window will be an opportunity for Munich to get a new striker. Mane's arrival may be felt less. and Munich must get to make the Munich front line scary again.

Man United is lucky to have a formidable goalkeeper like De Gea. Even though in the last few seasons Man United's performances have not been satisfactory but De Gea is one of the players whose performance is quite consistent. There are rumors that Man United will not extend De Gea's contract and would let De Gea leave on a free transfer, because Man United seems unwilling to spend a lot of money on his salary, and looks like Man United is also looking for a new goalkeeper to replace De Gea.

Rashford has been in good form this season, and he fits with Ten Hag's football, so it should be that Man United has to keep him (moreover, Man United don't have a lot of options in their attack line).

In the last four games in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich has scored 4 goals, and they have conceded 5 goals. Bayern Munich has trouble scoring against defensive teams. And most teams in the Bundesliga will play a defensive strategy against Bayern. And so Bayern needs an experienced striker now, or they will have to come up with a change in match strategy. I look forward to seeing Nagelsmann's strategy against Leverkusen. Now that Bayern Munich can't add new players to the squad, Nagelsmann is likely to change tactics in his next match.

Julian Nagelsmann had no other choice but to change his playing strategy, because the transfer window was closed, so it is no longer possible
to bring in new players. Nagelsmann should be able to take advantage of the available players,  after all if we look at the Bayern squad,
at least their squad is still better than other Bundesliga teams. With the right strategy, Bayern can find their best game again.  If we look at
the last 4 matches in the Bundesliga where Bayern failed to win, it's all because Bayern have difficulty scoring goals. Even though Bayern have
a fairly good front line, but Nagelsmann could not take advantage of the current players.

One of Nagelsmann's mistakes put Sadio Mane in the wrong position, then Nagelsmann should also try to give Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting
more playing opportunities. In a situation like this Nagelsmann must be more daring to improvise, otherwise Bayern will find it increasingly
difficult to return to the top position. Next Bayern will face Leverkusen, actually Leverkusen is one of the strong teams in the Bundesliga,
but Leverkusen's performance has declined significantly this season. This should be good news for Bayern, therefore Bayern should be able
to win against Leverkusen.

there is no doubt about how experienced Tuchel is in the Bundesliga in any team in the league should try to get him to sign with them, but Bayern's team seems like they still have faith in their coach right now, if they keep the negative results in the upcoming match, they have to think seriously about changing the coach because they already have good players, and Tuchel could give them what they need.

Agree with what you say because this has already happened and there is really no need to argue about it anymore because the most important thing now is that Nagelsmann has to rack his brain to make Bayern what it was a few seasons before.
At the moment his condition looks normal but this is quite serious for a team like Bayern because it is rare for them to get results like this in a row in one season.

Changing strategies will solve nothing for Bayern Munich
They should have used Cristiano Ronaldo as a back up plan since they couldn't get a replacement
More bigger games ahead and they will suffer for not getting a goal scorer

Ronaldo wouldn't agree on being a backup plan - and he's also way too expensive to be brought to fill that role. They went for Tel - who will be a long-term option for them.

I don't know why people are saying that Bayern's results are bad because they don't have a goalscorer - they are the team with the best goalscoring record in the league - averaging almost 3 goals per game.
It's still early and some results did not go their way - but this Bayern team is still the main contender for the title.
