⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Lloris can be really proud of his international career, there can’t be more than 10–5 international goalkeepers even still alive who have played in & won a World Cup. Shame for him he wasn’t able to win a second one this year, that would have made him one of only a few to do that in history.

I don’t even want to speak about this Mudryk guy. €100,000,000 for a guy who has done close to nothing in his career. Football has gone crazy, too much money involved for some very average players.

I don't think Chelsea would be very sad if Felix shows a wonderful performance until the end of his loan contract and goes back to Atletico Madrid later on.

Because Chelsea would just think of increasing the productivity in the attacking line to finish the season properly. Even if they lose Felix in that case then they would be ready to pay a big sum to sign another good attacker. Nkunku is already going to be joining the team by this summer as far as I know. Maybe there wouldn't be any need to sign another striker in that case. I'm curious about David Datro Fofana's effort in the remaining time period of the season as well.

There's a sad news Hugo Lloris announce his retirement on international football career, so he wouldn't play for France anymore. At least he already feel become a world cup champion on 2018, although it just need one step more to become back to back champion on the previous year world cup. Well it seems Lloris is still playing for Tottenham, but I think his performance will constantly dropped since he's wouldn't trying very hard like before.

France seems already have Lloris replacement, it's Areola aka West Ham's goalkeeper. While Tottenham need to hurry up to find a good replacement since currently the other goalkeepers are have poor performance.

I think he ended his international career on a high note, winning the world cup once and finishing as finalist in the just ended Qatar 2022. Even though I wish to see more of his heroic performances for France I have to accept that his time has come to an end. France will have to make a new goal keeper selection to take over in his position and Areola happens to be the next suitable candidate to step in as Lloris's replacement.

He is 36 years old now and will become 40 by the next World Cup so it is logical to retire just after a good performance with France in Qatar World Cup.
For his local team, there isn't an urgent need to sign a replacement for him since he will be there with them for the next two - three years.

Even Arsenal are rumoured with Eden Hazard these days. His contract is expiring in the summer of 2024. There have been many rumours such as he will leave Real Madrid in this month. I only heard about him being related to the Turkish team Fenerbahce but I don't know how reliable that source is. Fenerbahce are known by bringing big players to the Super League after they start getting old. We have had many examples like Roberto Carlos, van Persie and so on.

But I don't think there won't be any other European team being interested in him. Yes maybe he has lost his shape after joining Real Madrid but maybe leaving the team would improve his motivation to play better again. I wonder what he can do in case he returns to the Premier League also.

Small rumor from Spain.
Real Madrid wants Harry Kane for the next season.

Not sure it could be a good move, does Benzema leave the club?

Also, Kane is not so young anymore 100m for an almost 30yo player?

Eden Hazard's dip in form was very noticeable when he joined Real Madrid, I'm not sure if any team in Europe would want him other than Arsenal you say and even then with not very credible sources. I have never seen an impressive game from him since he joined in the 2019/2020 season. Maybe the last time I saw him look extraordinary was when he was still in a Chelsea uniform.

I think it is a big rumor, why it is a small rumor?  

Sure, it is a good move, Kane is still a good striker although he is already 29 years old. There is no problem with his age, his performance looks fine. If he doesn't really shine in Tottenham, it is because he doesn't have enough support there. He needs more players to give good assists to him. Real Madrid can guarantee it with many top midfielders. By the way, I am sure Benzema to stay, why he should leave? Benzema is still needed for Real Madrid, he is the captain. He can play together with Kane, right?

We can understand if he wants to retire, he is already 36 years old. It is no longer a prime age for a footballer, many previous legends even retire before that age. Lloris already won many titles, the biggest title was surely the world champion in 2018. It is very enough for him, he doesn't need to target any title.

Well it seems Lloris is still playing for Tottenham, but I think his performance will constantly dropped since he's wouldn't trying very hard like before.

It is not about his effort decreasing but it may the impact of age factor.

Tottenham need to hurry up to find a good replacement since currently the other goalkeepers are have poor performance.

Yes, Tottenham needs to plan signing a new top GK. They can't rely on Lloris anymore, he may retire from a football career in the near future. I suspect he only wants to play 1 season more before retiring.

Tuchel does have a stubborn and authoritarian character, but in his leadership, he managed to bring Chelsea well. Of course Tuchel will now not potentially return and will not be invited. On the other hand, Graham Potter is indeed facing the threat of being fired if, within a certain period of time, he is still unable to make changes to Chelsea performance. Now the task is more difficult because it is to catch up and have to build as aggressively as possible, in fact it is difficult to be in a safe position in the English league.

Tuchel has had issues with the owners and even though he was meant to be brought back I don't think he will and there's no way this is happening as Todd also has a really stubborn streak.
But talking about Potter, if indeed he can't improve his performance until the end of the season and is stranded in the middle standings then it is likely that he will not be able to maintain his position no matter what, especially Todd is very ambitious to increase Chelsea instantly.

It looks like there's some more buzz going on about Gladbach's goalkeeper Yann Sommer potentially making a move to Bayern.

It seems like Gladbach is keeping things on the down low for now, with the club assuring Sommer that they'll pick up talks with Bayern once they find a proper replacement for him. It seems that the transfer fee for Sommer has lowered from €8-10m to potentially €6m if they can find a replacement at that price. Anyway it looks like Bayern will have to step up their current offer of €4m if they want to make the transfer happen.
through in the end.

To be honest, he has been eyed a few weeks ago and Gladbach has also said he will not let this player go, but it seems that Bayern are still trying to get close to this goalkeeper.
Apart from anything, Bayern really needs an additional goalkeeper to improve his current condition which is not too good if you see Neuer's condition, which will take a long break, but there are still several possibilities that will happen now whether this will happen or Bayern will change their target again.

Gerrard might be the new manager of Poland national team if he doesn't respond to the offer negatively.

This is really interesting news because I wouldn't have expected to see such offer after not having a good time with Aston Villa the last time. Besides it might be a pretty risky choice for Poland as well but it is their decision in the end. But I still think Gerrard needs more experience before managing even a national team. He needs to improve himself by developing better team strategies.

This is very interesting, Harry Kane can finally leave England to play in another league
I heard some rumours about Bayer, Manchester and Real Madrid trying to get him.
At the age of 29, in my opinion he should go to Real Madrid to try another league, another challenge with real and great chances to be the champion of UEFA Champions League, he almost won 2018-19, but in Real Madrid there's more possibilities to win La Liga and UCL.

If Harry Kane leaves England for another league in another country, it will be great for him because he will have a lot of interest from big clubs and his buy out clause will be very large.

Going to Real Madrid from England is not a feasible option that can occur immediately. Last time I checked, Real Madrid needed a very talented and young striker like Haaland to take over for Benzema, who is likely to retire soon.

Even if Harry Kane signs a contract with Real Madrid, I doubt he'll stay there for long due to the intense football Real Madrid may require, which he can't provide given his age. If he’s looking to retire soon, he should go for a smaller clubs in other divisions too.

If this is true it would mean that he is only the second player to decide to leave the national team after Benzema.
This is 2 good and bad news actually because in any case they are missing 2 pillars of strength for France. On the other hand, this can also be the beginning of regeneration for France so they can maximize the young talents they have.

"Here We Go"
Reported from Fabrizio Romano about João Félix have reached verbal agreement and move to Chelsea with loan option and earn €11m all amount pay or converted by Chelsea. I think good option and agreement deal reach both team between Atletico Madrid and Chelsea due João Félix have contract left until 2027.

Chelsea has sealed a loan deal for Joao Felix worth 16 million euros, Chelsea's decision to recruit Joao Felix was the right decision after several of their attackers were currently injured, I think the arrival of Jaoa Felix is ​​at least good news for Chelsea fans who are currently starting to feel sad regarding Chelsea performance which is getting worse, but whether Jaoa Felix will be able to adapt well at Chelsea  or not of course we still need to wait to see him in action at Stamford Bridge later, the decision to borrow Felix can be said as an alternative for, because difficult for Chelsea to get Mudryk who is indeed  is currently valued quite dearly by shaktar donetsk, but by getting Felix, Chelsea automatically opens the door wider for Arsenal to get Mudryk from Shaktar Donetsk  .

I think Chelsea needed the services of Joao Felix more than Arsenal due to their numerous numbers of injured players, the news is that he (Joao) had already team up with other players for training today hopefully if cleared he will play for Chelsea against Fulham, He is young and a very talented player although I think his loan has a clause however I think he is going to cost Chelsea huge sum of money if they wanted to permanently sign him at the end of the season, meanwhile Arsenal only needed a centre forward or alternatively sign Mudryk who can play in the wing or flank while Martinelli might shift to the striking role or as a substitute for Nketiah.

Joao Felix is obviously going to be good for Chelsea. And I believe that Chelsea might be able to improve. This should improve the attacking side. But the problem is if those tactics are not good, I do not think we will see much improvement from Chelsea.

So, now it comes down to the most important question. Which is, is the coach going to stay with Chelsea?

It was obviously a mistake and that stupid American owner of Chelsea should understand that by now. But another thing is if they are patient I think eventually good results will come. Coaches do take time to get settled with their team and people generally do not want to understand it. People always want results fast.

He needs to improve himself by developing better team strategies.

That a piece of good news after he was not well in the club, but I think if he rarely plays like a club, Gerard must be intense to learning how to coach like Deschamps or another coach which not coaching a club. This is a good step also if happens because his dream to coach england national team will come true if it succeeds bring Poland to the Euro cup 2024 and winning until to semifinal or final.

It's not the decision to retire from the international career would always be the bad result. I think that if it's gonna be a very bad thing once he was still young but chosen not to continue its international career but the problem is Lloris has been thinking about that.
He has reason why he has been deciding not to continue to play in the international career. There will be another good thing from there just like he was giving another young talented player to play in the international career.
I will respect all of his decision. He was making it after he was thinking about that so many times. I would be so glad to see that a young talented player can take his position as well as benzema which has been retiring from international career and focusing with the club.

The German newspaper Bild reports that Manuel Neuer's current injury may be more serious than currently reported. For this reason, FC Bayern may be looking for a long-term solution for the goalkeeper position beyond the current season. Nobody knows how long Neuer will be out and whether he will return to his previous form.

Although the official diagnosis communicated by Bayern was 'fracture of the right lower leg', there's a rumour circulating that Neuer suffered an open fracture of the tibia and fibula, which takes longer to recover. Neuer's camp didn't deny this diagnosis when asked.
Nobody at Bayern can really say when and in what condition Neuer will return. There are doubts if he can ever reach his former level of performance again. That's why the club is considering bringing a goalkeeper who can replace Neuer in the long term, not just this season [@BILD]

All in all, a very difficult situation for the club but also for Manuel Neuer. I had actually hoped that Neuer would still be in goal for the German national team at EURO2024 in Germany. But after the current developments, you have to expect that his time is slowly running out. However, I really hope he manages it to come back somehow.

Manuel Neuer is obviously going to take more time to recover now. And this is going to put additional pressure on Bayern Munich to find a long-term replacement for him. They have not found a good replacement for him. And I do not think that Bayern Munich will be able to perform as a very competitive team in the Champions League without a good goalkeeper.

Now I do not know who will be the next long-term goalkeeper for Bayern Munich.  I have been saying for a long time ago that Bayern Munich should be looking into Emiliano Martinez. I am not going to be surprised if that is the case right now.

the news has been quite a while since the world cup performance ended. but have any negotiation attempts been made? Munich themselves admit that it is difficult to find a good goalkeeper who wants to leave the club in the middle of an important season. but that could be accomplished if Aston Villa does dump Emiliano Martinez for the rest of the season. they should consider that because it might be a big loss.
Munich can still use their second goalkeeper.

Bayern Munich even left it late to acquire a new goalkeeper. Manuel Neuer was already too old. They need to adapt a younger goalkeeper to the team and raise him to be like Neuer for many years. However, Emiliano Martinez is not a suitable candidate for this. He is both old and irresponsible. It is difficult for him to adapt to the discipline of Munich.

So, now it comes down to the most important question. Which is, is the coach going to stay with Chelsea?

There is no guarantee Graham Potter will stay at Stamford Bridge after the poor form Chelsea have had under Potter. The bad form that has befallen Chelsea has occurred since before the World Cup, now Chelsea has a bad record of only winning once in the last eight matches in all competitions.

The arrival of new players will not help Chelsea much if the tactics used by the coach are not in line with the composition of the players they have. According to one British media, Chelsea are looking for a new tactician to improve their appearance, Mauricio Pochettino is considered capable of increasing Chelsea quality after being supported by quality players who have just been brought in.
