⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[bitgolden]

It is clear, Ronaldo will not stay at Old Trafford with his statements attacking the club and the many names he has involved. after all, Manchester United are trying to end Ronaldo's contract without severance pay. and I'm sure, this is what Ronaldo really wants to leave Old Trafford. the hottest issue at the moment, only the Chelsea boss wants Ronaldo.

as for, with PSG. it seems very unlikely that this will happen. as you said, PSG already has the MNM Trio.
even if the scenario were PSG were interested in signing Ronaldo, he would not be willing because he would not be playing as a regular player. So IMO, it's unrealistic.

As for other rumors, Ronaldo is reported to have offered himself to Real Madrid. Spanish media claim Ronaldo wants to return to the Spanish giants as a replacement for the injured Karim Benzema. I'm sure, Ronaldo issue will be hotter. Moreover, if after Manchester United managed to terminate the contract with Ronaldo.

He knew he would be sent the moment he made that interview, way beforei t was even aired. I think he just wanted to leave and he didn't know how he could do that and he just wanted to prevent a PR disaster and he did it worse by giving that interview.

No united fan I saw wants him in the club neither, they are more interested in the improvement of Garnacho at this point than keeping Ronaldo. He needs to find a team, and it is going to be quite difficult because even though his talents are known, he is seen as a bit toxic for what he did, that interview caused trouble and teams are considering will his talents be enough to cover his toxic personality. Not lower level teams, they would want him, but more about UCL teams consider this.

People are talking about Osimhen and Lautaro Martinez for Real Madrid in January. But I don't give even a small chance for any of these players to sign for Real Madrid in that month already. I just think like why would they do so? They must be both happy at their teams in this time of the season. There is no reason for them to wish to leave immediately. Napoli are closing in on the Serie A championship and having a great run in the Champons League as well. Inter aren't very well in the Serie A maybe but they are also impressive in the Champions League.

Hence I think Real Madrid will have to wait for the end of the season to make a big striker transfer.

I agree with you. Osimhen will win the championship with his Napoli team, why should he let his team down in the middle of the season so that he can make a free decision after he becomes champion. In my opinion, I am very eager to see Ben Osimhen in the Real Madrid squad. I consider it very unlikely that such transfers will take place in the middle of the season. On the other hand, Real Madrid needs a very good striker. Currently, Benzema is responsible for everything and if there is a chronic injury, Real Madrid's moves are very limited, which is a dangerous situation.

German Sky Sport is reporting that after Karim Benzemas injury Real Madrid is interested in signing AC Milan striker Lautaro Martinez.

According to the report, Rafael Leao from AC Milan is the number one candidate. The reigning Serie A player of the season is said to have taken Ancelotti's fancy. Lautaro Martinez of Milan's city rivals Inter is mentioned as an alternative.

IMHO, with a market value of €75m and a contract until 2026, Lautaro Martinez might not come cheap if signed. It's hard to imagine Real Madrid wanting to spend so much money on a new player in the winter. But you never know. If any club is willing to spend a lot, it's probably Real Madrid. Thoughts?

It is highly unlikely that Real Madrid will be able to get him for anything less than €100 million. It is probably the bare minimum amount that they will have to spend if they want to get Lautaro Martinez. In my opinion, he has the potential to be a good player for Real Madrid in the future. This is absolutely legit in my opinion.

It has been reported that Real Madrid has a lot of interested Victor Osimhen on their team. It must be said that I believe Lautaro Martinez is a better fit for Real Madrid's style compared to Victor Osimhen, as it suits his playing style more. There is no doubt that Real Madrid has the money to do so. So I see a transfer happening soon.

I don't understand why Madrid wants Martinez, so far Martinez's impact on Milan has been very small, very different from Osimhen's

as far as i see, madrid is only interested in potential strikers and osimhen is their best candidate, benzema will be old and neglected just like any great striker ever was in madrid and osimhen is a good candidate to replace benzema

I think Manchester City are a straight forward club especially now with Guardiola, if you  are not performing there is no point keeping you and spending much money on wages that is how City operates. It’s a shame that Grealish has not been able to live up to expectations at City and is slowly losing his place in Guardiola's first eleven squad. No doubts he is a good player but he is no where close to the form he had at Aston Villa which was the reason why he was brought in.

Guardiola managed to bring Manchester City back to its golden age again when he had Erling Haaland who was very ready to fight various enemies up front and often got goals, but that was also a very important problem because he had to get good players too to improve teamwork so that it would has the potential to be even better so this is the reason Guardiola is still looking for new players in the transfer market later.

since there is unfortunately no separate thread for the scottish league and i think this news is important, glasgow rangers have sacked his coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst after only about a year. the dutchman, who had already been active as a player for the scots, had won the cup with the rangers in the past season 2021/22 and had also entered the final of the el. currently rangers are already nine points behind local rivals and defending champions celtic glasgow in the championship race.

[emrecemsan]

When it comes to Guardiola I'm curious about his future at Manchester City. I mean there was a time I remember that he commented like he would think of leaving the team earlier than the expectations. Maybe it was only a speculation because he doesn't have such intention for now seemingly. He must be targeting to win the Champions League title first before even thinking of such action to take. If they become the champions this season then I will definitely be starting to wonder about this again.

Because Guardiola has built an amazing system for the team. After his departure they might enter a really interesting road depending on who their next manager would be. In case of such situation I would really like to see Zidane here.    He would be like the second best option to keep this team the same and even better maybe who knows.

It makes sense if Real Madrid is interested in Lautaro Martínez, he is a good striker and he is an ideal alternative if Real Madrid fails to sign Osimhen. Although Martínez can't show a big contribution for Inter Milan this season, doesn't mean he is a bad striker. He may not fit with the current strategy/tactic applied by Inter Milan coach. If he moves to Real Madrid, he may perform at his best again. Real Madrid scouts must know well how good Martínez, so they want to sign him.

I assume Benzema will stay a long time in Real Madrid, maybe until his retirement. Even if Real Madrid signs a new striker, they seem to keep Benzema on the squad. Benzema has a big role, he is the captain of Real Madrid as well.

The very interesting news that I saw today is speculation about the future of Toni Kroos at Madrid, next season his contract will end and the issue that spread is pep guardiola  interested in him in order to strengthen man city's midfield. In the next season's transfer market, I am very interested in who will actually become the new Man City player, even though currently their squad is very good but Pep Guardiola still seems to want to buy several other players.

[Captain Corporate]

I mean could he help them? He totally could, but we are talking about someone who will be 33 years old by that time, maybe 34 by the end of the season, so it just doesn't make sense to get him and hope for the best. Of course if you think about the fact that he will not be bought from a club, he would be just a free agent that they sign, so it would not be a big deal, but I feel like he will not be making a huge difference to the club at all. Lets see though, I feel like they could do something already this year, and that should be good enough, they do not really need to get anyone else, and if they do, maybe it would be smarter to do it during winter break, so that they could get t all this year.

Well fun to think , but to be honest zidane should be in the opposite team ...

I mean there must be a competition even manchester city has been well built , a challenge might be not there and a coach like zidane doesn't really like that kind situation i guess.
Still ... guardiola might be in very long term project at city , especially with all the benefit he get from the oil money ... hard to see him leaving in the next couple years.

Manchester has good eyes in selecting players, I think Haaland is the best thing Manchester City had signing.  If Manchester City is not having a player like Haaland it would have been very tough for them. Guardiola has done so well for Manchester City in bringing good  players,.

[Velvet78]

I can't imagine Zidane managing Manchester City honestly. It feels like it wouldn't be his style because Manchester City are playing a different game than the one Zidane is used to. The players are also fitting this game plan especially. Zidane was great with Real Madrid but his game plan and strategies were very different compared to Manchester City's style.

Therefore maybe he might not be a good choice for this team. I would rather see Arteta in case Guardiola leaves. Because Arteta was his assistant at Manchester City in the past. He wouldn't have big problems on adaptation.

It is not the fault of Grillish that he is not performing in Manchester City. Guardiola haven't actually given Grealish the expected freedom needed to explore in Manchester City.
If you have watched every individual match of Grealish, you understand that the guy is a good footballer, a very nice and decent footballer with a lot of energy.

There is nothing Grealish will do to outperform somebody like Forden in a team that Guardiola is the coach.
The best thing for the young guy to do is to look for a another club where he can play even if it's not up to the status of Manchester City

Really happy to see Chelsea are trying to sign a new goal keeper, Jordan Pickford from Everton is the one candidate [1]. Pickford is quite good since Everton usually not suffer losses with many goals and mostly Everton match was draw. I always say the main problem of Chelsea is their goal keeper, Kepa is good but he's currently injured so they don't have any choice and let Mendy to play again.

Mendy was always making so many blunders. Signing new goal keeper may make chelsea has so many goal keeper now. I think that the main concern must not also in the goal keeper but chelsea has so many problems with its midfielder. Nkuku may become a new striker for chelsea but to be honest with the current midfielder in the club and it doesn't enough for chelsea to get the best performance again. It was only making a few goals from last 5 matches that already happened with 2 draw and 3 loses.
A new rumour about todd may sack potter has become the hottest topic about chelsea recently. That will be useless to sign new players once the coach will be replaced again.
Fuckin todd must give more time for the coach to build the team. He just like playing the game that can spawn coach anytime if club suffering bad result

Can this bring Steven Gerrard back there? Didn't pay attention to the Scottish league but Gerrard was quite successful in lifting Rangers in his coaching unfortunately, he chose to accept Aston Villa's offer Rangers fans were a bit disappointed with the decision, but it didn't work out as Villa continued to fall so he was sacked.

I can't imagine Zidane managing Manchester City honestly. It feels like it wouldn't be his style because Manchester City are playing a different game than the one Zidane is used to.

Zidane has no experience in the Premier League either as a player or as a coach, in fact I think he would be a better fit in Serie A than the Premier League if he wanted to return to coaching.
It looks like Guardiola will stay longer at Manchester City if he keeps bringing titles to this club and this will be the club where he has coached the longest, because his time at Barcelona and Bayern Munich was only 4 and 3 years.

Chelsea problem isn't defense instead it's the midfield and wingbacks, any team that dominate those positions easily score us lots of goals. We have great defenders but when you put defenders under too much pressure than they can absorbed then they'll break and the keeper will be left exposed. We should be more focused on signing quality defensive and creative midfielders. The current ones are very average. Players like jorginho can't be relyed on as he's very poor defensively and players like Kovačić isn't that creative and neither is any of the midfielder we currently have excluding mason mount.

The right wingback which is the position of Reece James is lacking a like to like replacement incase Reece James is injured . Positions as this are what the club should be focus on and not signing players we have in good quality. Mendy and Kepa are good goal keepers and don't forget we also signed another goalie in last summer window so why do we need another goalie when we have three quality ones already.

I don't know how long Kepa is injured because to me Chelsea has a good Keeper in Kepa and Mendy is there as a backup to Kepa. Bringing in a new keeper means to sell Mendy. But Chelsea has a more problem of who will put the ball at the back of the net than the problem of who will save the ball from entering the net.

I do not rate Pickford as a quality goalkeeper, i know with the English media behind him he could seem superb a goalkeeper, but i absolutely do not agree, Pickford makes quite a lot errors in goal. Everton conceded 66 goals last season, and they have conceded 17 goals in 14 games this season, they also lose more games than they draw, thus i do not know where you get the notion that Pickford is a good goalkeeper because Everton do not concede much, and that they draw most games.

Having said that, Chelsea have good goalkeepers in their team, Mendy might not be at his best right now, but i don't think their main problem is goalkeeping, even if they are to sign a new goalkeeper, it would prolly be next summer, and by that time they'd let one of their current goalkeepers leave.
