⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[CLS63]

Zinedine Zidane has newly turned down an offer by United States. I'm not surprised at all.

Because he hasn't been thinking of being the manager of any club for a long time. To be honest it would be better to see him managing a club in Europe rather than a national team. I remember his successes with Real Madrid very well. They had great a few years with Zidane full of Champions League championships as well. It is impressive to watch a tactician like Zidane to manage a big team. Maybe it wouldn't be Real Madrid again but I wouldn't say no to a different big team this time.

Arsenal FC are hoping to upgrade the squad in this January transfer window with talks linked to a £60 million or more for Mykhailo Mudryk.

It is said that the position he plays and his contribution to Shakhtar Donetsk and Ukraine is the main reason his price tag is high.
Arsenal could also be handed a huge boost in their pursuit of Joao Felix and Tammy Abraham as the Gunners eye a potential deal, too.
Lets hope Arteta gets them in time to maintain stands on the top English table, and other games.

Yes at this point of the season teams you need squad depth to go through to the end of the season because problems like injuries, fatigue and loose of form will come in, you rotation of the squad is very necessary, and if you don't have the depth in squad, squad rotation won't be possible, Arsenal needs more signings so as the strength the squad going into the second half of the season,
Because teams like Manchester city already have the squad depth to go through this period and put the pressure of arsenal all to the last day so they need not just signings, but productive signings so their dream of winning the premier League which they last won in 2004 will be a reality.

There are reports that Manchester United are interested in Vincent Aboubakar but I don't know if they are serious about it. They are trying to transfer a football player from the team where Ronaldo is a transfer. I don't know if this could be a psychological move or if I'm thinking about too many unnecessary details. I think this is interesting news. On the other hand, Manchester United need a striker transfer but I don't think Vincent Aboubakar can handle that level because he has generally been successful in easier leagues. Even in Porto, he did not succeed. I think the English Premier League and Manchester United might be a bit of a challenge for him.

These reports most times are just mare rumours the internet carry around to attract attention to their blogs.  This news doesn't seem interesting to me, Aboubakar is aged and I am not so sure he has Premier league experience, if he doesn't btw it will be a total gamble for Manchester United going for him. Manchester United are desperate for a striker but there are many other options out there.

Saudi Arabia club he played for terminated contract recently
Man United are not currently chasing Aboubakar
They have news going all round about Wout Weghorst as he is the candidate that fits the clubs project.
Too much wingers Weghorst was the one who scored Argentina twice during the world Cup

Me thinking Zidane will take over from Deschamps but everything turned wrongly
Deschamps will continue till 2026 as the coach of France
What would be the next club to approach Zidane he may decide finally to coach Chelsea

Deschamps is a successful coach for them and he has managed and won so many trophies with France so I can see why they want to continue with him again. Also while we might like Zidane to manage next but it all depends on them what they want. Maybe Zidane even doesn't wants to manage national team as of now and want to manage at club level again.

Hmm Chelsea huh? I don't see this happening anytime soon. I think they will stay with Potter as of now (at least for this season). Could be next though .

Zinedine Zidane has newly turned down an offer by United States. I'm not surprised at all.

Not only the US but also Portugual and Braziel.

According to rumors he only wants his France national team or a normal club.

In the recent past, we got some rumors about Juventus, he is an ex-player after all.

Juventus? It would be really interesting to see him there. I mean that of course he is like that but Juventus don't have a very qualified squad as much as Real Madrid for example. In case of a replacement of Allegri with Zidane I guess Zidane would like to bring some more skilled players to the team to increase the quality. I don't know if Juventus would lean towards spending a lot of money these days. If there is not much problem with their finance then there is no problem about that.

Allegri started to do a good job lately so I don't think the new board would think of replacing him yet. But if they finish the season in a bad position then it might be the end of the road for Allegri.

Manchester United are interested in Wout Weghorst, who plays for loan at Beşiktaş.
Beşiktaş are interested in Aboubakar, who left Al Nassr.
Al Nassr signed Ronaldo, who left Manchester United.

Yes, it's a somewhat complicated relationship at first glance, but actually it's a very simple triangle. :)

Aboubakar previously played for Beşiktaş. He even came twice, it will be the third if he comes again, but the last time he left us, he hurt us a little emotionally. He has not played in the last games so that his contract does not automatically extend. We became champions that season with goal difference. So, we narrowly won the championship, but we might not have succeeded. I think he behaved very badly towards us.

I don't think Depay will be suitable to play for Manchester United, so it would be nice if Manchester United looked at other players if they wanted to buy players.
I actually hope that Manchester United can promote their young players instead of buying players from other clubs, which is what they used to do in the past. Or they are looking for younger players that they will coach later to become great players. Because I see that several player transfers carried out by Manchester United lately seem to have failed, not all but most of them don't contribute much to the development of the club. We can see from Garnacho, yes they can bring in a potential player like that.

Manchester United needs a forward and I think it's not right to promote their young players at this time, Manchester United needs a leader or a star label player for their front line to make it better, after failing to get Cody Gakpo now Manchester United is rumored with several other players, one of them is what I think is good for their team, namely Joan Felix.

and for depay, I don't think this player will develop anymore, he tried at Manchester United a few seasons ago, but he failed to show his best performance as well as at Barcelona, this is a player whose career is fading.

He's been at Manchester United and he failed a few seasons ago and now I think it's not very good to try his luck a second time.
Depay can still develop at his current age but Manchester United is not an option because it's clear here that the competition for a place in the main squad is also quite tough actually so I don't think it's too good to force his condition now even though he can still be useful.
On the other hand, Manchester United must also be aware. Ten Hag must know that even though Depay is a player from the Netherlands, Ten Hag must be aware of the qualifications and Depay is not included in that qualification.

Zidane is an intelligent man and a very good coach. He has high standards and would never take over a weak team because he wants to win trophies. There are other coaches who are different in character and would accept challenges even with weaker teams, but I don't rate Zidane that way. He would only take over a top European club like City, Bayern or Real.

Yeps, this isn't surprising because his target is still in the national team but until now it hasn't even been implemented.
On the other hand he has turned down a lot of big teams so I think rejecting this team from MLS is definitely very possible and it was answered in this rejection without even a second thought for him.

The owner of Juventus is super rich the problem is that they do now want to spend a lot of money on the team, and they have bigger interests.

But a lot can change from March with the European Super League sentence, the president of Barcellona has spoken clearly the past week.

There are many possibilities as Zidane has been without a team for long time and rumors are still coming from here and there. On the clubs level, there are PSG whose coach contract ends 2024, Juventus that was kicked out from the group stage of CL, and Real Madrid where Ancelotti's contract ends 2024. On the national teams level, there are Portugal, and Brazil which I think it's unacceptable for them to sign a coach from Europe.

If Weghorst is going to Manchester United, Beşiktaş need a new striker. Although Weghorst is on loan, he naturally wants to go when an offer comes from a club like Manchester United. Beşiktaş shouldn't cause difficulties, but at the same time, they should receive a reasonable transfer fee. Because it will be costly to get a new player at middle transfer window.
Manchester United need to know who they are going to get. It was called Memphis Depay, it was called Aboubakar, it's now called Weghorst. Weghorst's last goal celebration was like goodbye, so this transfer is very likely to happen.
Aboubakar is currently free, after Ronaldo's arrival, Aboubakar's contract was terminated. Fenerbahçe and Manchester United wanted him but now it looks like United have given up on him and Beşiktaş steps in. It will be an active transfer window.

It often seems that goalkeepers will get their chances at other clubs again and again. A good example is Loris Karius from Liverpool. A lot of people thought that his career might be almost over when he failed so badly in the champions league final against Real Madrid. But now he was even able to sign a new contract with Newcastle United. Who would have expected that? Whether one likes it or not, but Newcastle is climbing up the letter in the EPL right now and if things work out for him one day, he might perhaps even be playing in the CL again...

Newcastle United is obviously doing well and it is going to be good for the career of the gk Loris Karius as well. His career has obviously taken a turn for the best. And that way Newcastle United is being able to perform right now, I don’t think he has too much to worry about. I am quite confident that he will be able to play in the Champions League next season.

What's the point of this contract? I was surprised when I saw that name in your post, went to google when he last played and I don't even see him in the Newcastle game bids... Also looking at his transfer history it's not even signed anywhere that he signed with this team, it seems strange to me... He's not a very good goalkeeper either, he's conceded 270 goals in 217 games in his career, not a very good indicator...

This season de Gea has kept eight clean sheets. I certainly think that is good. But at the same time, he has also conceded 20 goals. And the thing is Manchester United is slowly improving. So, I think we also might see an improvement from him as well. And we all know that he had a bad time with Manchester United, especially when Harry Maguire was regular.

But it was about Karius, the one who made two mistakes in the Champions League final that caused Liverpool to lose. And he didn't play for Manchester United. Or was that a comparison? Of course it's not always the goalkeeper's fault if he misses the ball, sometimes defenders don't fight all the way, and there are many reasons, but Karius' game does not satisfy me completely

[RealMalatesta]

This rumor has also been confirmed by Transfermarkt and it is true that Manchester United want to bring Wout Weghorst to Old Trafford but this is only on loan from Burnley and if the deal goes well Wout Weghorst will wear the Red Devils uniform until the end of the season. This may only be a temporary option for Erik ten Hag due to the lack of a pure striker in his line-up.

Weghorts would be decent enough signing but nothing huge. They already have Rashford who I believe is better than Weghorst, and if they think that they could make a big improvement with him, then United is fooling themselves. I believe that the best thing to do right now would be just keep grinding with the same team until the end of the season, unless they get some big injuries, they should be doing fine.

After the season is over, and they know that the manager is good already, then they should be probably looking to sign players for their weak positions. That should give them a better chance than a loan at the half of the season which doesn't make sense.

Although Choupo-Moting's contract finishes next season if I'm not wrong but still I don't think he's going to be the right fit for Manchester United. So far even with Bayern Munich, he has not been that much consistent even after the departure of Robert Lewandowski.

Another thing is that he is a mediocre-level striker which a team like Manchester United might not like. They need a striker who can score on a regular basis and Choupo-Moting is not something like that. I think they should try to buy some other player instead of him.

it's true that Choupo Moting is the target of Manchester United in this transfer season window, Manchester United wants Choupo Moting to become a new sticker in their squad. so far it seems that there has been no official offer made by manchester united for bayern munich for his interest in their stickers. Even though Choupo Moting is 33 years old, he seems to have rediscovered his best form this season, he can be a good player to fill the position left by Ronaldo. therefore we will enjoy how this situation of interest will work in reaping an agreement on both sides.

Zidane is an intelligent man and a very good coach. He has high standards and would never take over a weak team because he wants to win trophies. There are other coaches who are different in character and would accept challenges even with weaker teams, but I don't rate Zidane that way. He would only take over a top European club like City, Bayern or Real.

As you said, maybe Zidane will not accept a job from a weak team for his coaching career in the next era. Indeed, Zidane desire to train France has run aground after Deschamps got a new contract extension to handle France. Therefore I think Zidane will continue to wait until the big teams call him to be their coach after this season is over. Both PSG, Chelsea and Juventus are the clubs that will offer him a contract if the coaches who train these three clubs cannot make a major contribution to the progress of the club this season.

[Velvet78]

As long as Bayern Munich don't look for a replacement for Choupo-Moting I don't expect them to think of selling him now.

Therefore Manchester United had better act knowing that first. Besides Manchester United can find a better and younger striker than him as well. If they really want to increase the number of alternatives for attacking players they should look for young and skilled players. Because I don't think they would be able to convince an experienced top striker in the middle of the season. Rashford and Martial are still in the team of course and it depends on how solid they play as well.

Where will he end? does he want a team or is he ok with being without work?

Wow, I understand refusing PSG (Zidane had reasons to do so), but refusing a Brazilian team that is at the bottom (in terms of results), which means a “rise” is almost guaranteed, is very strange. But in fact, Zidane can afford it - he does not need money or titles, so he can be unemployed for a long time and wait for an option that interests him.

Well this zidane case is very unique ... he seems had a strange interest and a bit moody. He leave real madrid at his peak coaching career & won a Lot of things that time , having multiple crazy offer on the table after that and yet he refused to comeback to coaching for no reason .

He won't in rush taking any job ... he could go anywhere with his track record.

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is still on the radar of big teams in the same league. Tottenham are one of these teams according to some news. They want to replace Lloris with Pickford thinking about the long-term. Lloris has reached the age of 36 now. Actually this is still not too bad for a goalkeeper as long as he keeps being a beneficial player for his team.

However Lloris conceded quite many goals in the league so far like 25 goals. I don't know maybe it is really time for them to benefit from this opportunity while Everton are in a bad shape.
