⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

The source below says that Chelsea have made an offer for Pochettino but he has turned it down. If there is some truth in this then I wonder why Pochettino didn't want this job. Is it related to the contract details or doesn't he just think of signing for any team at the moment? Pochettino might actually be a good choice for Chelsea if there is no better option on the table. I assume they can't bring a manager like Zidane in the near future. Because he wasn't thinking of managing a team as far as I know.

I'm not a big fan of Pochettino, I don't like managers who aren't serial winners. We need a high class manager at the club and not someone that'll be trying their luck. We need someone that we know if the owners back him properly thanmt he can bring back the old glories days if the club, winning us game and not us at getting is. To the finals but winning them as well. Pochettino couldn't achieved anything with a player like Harry Kane. How then do we think he can  achieve anything with the likes of Kia harvetz leading the attack.

Who's going to be the new manager of Chelsea flying around are just rumors and here's one that interest me. Chelsea are set to pay €15 million per season to French manager Zinedine Zidane to take charge of the club ahead of next season.

According to a report via Fichajes, Chelsea are ready to break the bank in order to land Zinedine Zidane at the club. The Blues are looking for a new manager to take over the reins from Graham Potter ahead of next season. And, they have identified the French manager as the perfect candidate.

Having a manager like Zinedjne Zidane coaching Chelsea will definitely be an upgrade to Graham Potter or Pochettino and it'll come with lots of respect to the club as managers will give respect to Zidane knowing what he has achieved.

Having a manager like Zinedjne Zidane coaching Chelsea will definitely be an upgrade to Graham Potter or Pochettino and it'll come with lots of respect to the club as managers will give respect to Zidane knowing what he has achieved.

After making a lot of crazy transfers this season, potter was unable to show a significant increase in chelsea and of course this made potter coaching chair at chelsea even hotter and closer to dismissal, with the amount of money chelsea had of course they would have no trouble paying zidane to become the next Chelsea coach and even reportedly Chelsea is ready to pay Zidane 15 million euros per season, the amount of salary received by Zidane is indeed quite in line with the achievements he has so far with Madrid, but the problem now is whether Zidane wants to train Chelsea?
;ecause previously PSG had also tried hard to make Zidane a coach but in the end Zidane refused to return to coaching the team, in my opinion the same thing will happen to Chelsea because reportedly Zidane is more interested in coaching the French national team if Didier Deschamps resigns or is sacked, besides that, I'm starting to think is it worth Zidane being paid that much when he has only experienced coaching one club so far and he hasn't even been tested to coach clubs in the English league which does have a different atmosphere from La Liga?

I don't think with Zidane will priority become the next manager for France national team because have announcement about extended contract for Didier Deschamps continues his journey until the next World Cup, seems Zidane have forget about his opportunity becoming the next France national team manager.

Not really bad become Chelsea manager, but how serious from the owner for sacking Graham Potter? he has been failed totally after spending much money with crazy transfer but still failed with winning achievement.  Better for Chelsea looking for another manager and if can signin Zidane will be fantastic.

Zidane becoming the national coach for France is not a topic anymore. I assume he even refused behind the scenes and only then did they decide to extend the contract with Didier Dechamps. I think after Dechamps now didn't win it they would have liked to sign Zidane. But Zidane is only 50 years old.

Chelsea is rather unlikely I feel. Unless they offer him something he can't deny. But I don't know whether that is the kind of club he would like to work for. PSG would be kind of a home game to him as it is in France and the people love him no matter what. Chelsea is also not Real Madrid right now. It still doesn't have a similar reputation.

I expect something to happen this Summer one way or another. I don't think that Zidane will take another year off and there are some clubs who may already be negotiating with him. It woud almost be negligent to not negotiate with him and get some feedback. He is probably in talks with Madrid, Liverpool, PSG, and Chelsea.

Potter thinks he isn't the main reason for Chelsea's bad run now. But I really don't know about this. It still feels like Tuchel would have made this team better if he was given more time. Chelsea should just find a fitting manager for the team before seriously thinking about sacking Potter. The right manager should be an experienced and successful one as well. Potter doesn't have a career in which he worked with big teams mostly. He just had a great time period with Brighton and impressed people.

Mourinho has been eager to go back to Chelsea according to speculations. But I'm not sure if he can make this team better. I don't like his style much when he adopts a cautious game after getting ahead in a match.

Of course it’s Potter fault. What else could be the reason for the poor run Chelsea is having if not bad management. Chelsea fans will be wishing Potter to get sacked the next minute even, Potter is not capable of managing a top side like Chelsea with studded with young and talented stars. I think Boehly misjudge Potter capabilities, he is better of coaching a smaller team like Brighton. Soon the management will not be able to overlook the poor performances of the team and will be forced to do the needful.

Zidane would have accepted to be the coach of France national team if that was offered for him but I think that wasn't the case in the first place.
Harsh words targeted him from the head of the French football federation before he gets sacked and I believe there was some tensions between them. At the same time, Deschamps still wants to be in the picture so I don't think Zidane will wait for 4 years to be selected. He will most likely move and chose a team to train. Maybe Liverpool? Chelsea? Back to Real Madrid with Mbappe in his side? PSG maybe?

I don't want to say that Graham Potter has failed, but with the circumstances at Chelsea some of us would think so. Although in the end Chelsea can play well under his direction, he has spent a lot of time trying to make Chelsea improve. There has been speculation that the decision to sack Thomas Tuchel was too hasty, but that cannot be regretted. Now they can only hope that Graham Potter can do well in the rest of the season.

Zidane at this moment is the best option for chelsea,because I don't see much difference between pochetino and Potter,aside the fact that he took ligue one..But for Zidane players will respect him for what he has achieved as a player and as a coach.,and ofcourse he plays a good style of football too.

Victor osimhe,at the moment is one of the hotest striker in Europe,no surprising that he has been in the news lately on transfer rumour.Napoli chief have also voiced he could leave with good money on the table,thou I think it is still too early for him to move to England,not to forget that one of osimhe secrete this season has been his partnership with kvaratskhelia,who is the creator in that team,wonder if he could achieve great feat else were with limited supply.

several big clubs have begun to show interest in this Napoli sticker. Even Manchester United is reportedly quite interested in bringing in Osimhen in the next summer window. The skyrocketing name of Osimhen this season was none other than his slick performance on the Napoli front line which was able to present goal after goal and also made him the temporary top scorer in Serie A.

Several denials have come from Napoli owner or president where he will try hard to keep Osimhen from in the next summer window. But one side is that Napoli needs a lot of money to strengthen the Club's finances. I guess that may change later if a surprise offer comes along.

[Leviathan.007]

Potter is actually Chelsea problem this season,been a long time chelsea have this kind of good team,but all you see week in week out are players who are playing as individual, no cohesion,if you have skill show it,if you can run,run..is such a pathetic scenario..the team has no particular way of playing,one can literally sleep while watching Chelsea game,iven the time of Lampard,they play briliant football,that sometimes iven when Chelsea lose,there is this little sense of good feeling they outplayed their opponent..for me Potter has to go,and Mourinho is not the right man for this job,he hasn't evolved as a coach,still the old pragmatic game,Zidane could do a good job.

Not sure if they will fire Graham Potter this season, we all know Chelsea could perform well and they are spending lots of money after spending these huge amounts of money they obviously expect to get good results from the league while so far most of the fans are unhappy and I guess they are going to find a new coach to replace with Potter because they have enough money for it but still Potter won't leave Chelsea before this season ends.

I don't think there is hope on Potter doing well,for half a season and we can't tell how he wants to play,directly opposite of what he plays in Brighton.when Tuchel came his first game you could see what he wants to do,the system he employs,with arteta at arsenal is the same,iven if result were not going his way,but you could see how they play,notably against city iven if they lost that  game that season..Potter is not just the right man for the job,and Todd should cut his lost and just hire a new manager.

Conditions are still very bad for Potter now but that doesn't mean he is hopeless because indeed there is still hope with the players' current condition it's just that this is very difficult and it is indeed impossible for them to return to their ideal position.
Even so they still have to deal with all conditions now because just blaming Potter also doesn't have any effect in my opinion and it's also not very useful because it doesn't make them better.

[izsara]

Apart from that, we also know that Rudiger's contract at Madrid is still quite long because he has only had half a season at the moment so there is really no reason for him to leave so soon with the condition that he is a mainstay for the club.
Even though he really wants to, I don't think Madrid will let that happen because they are in a condition that can be said to be not doing well at the moment.

For Real Madrid, Rüdiger is an important player and a newcomer to the team.  We will still watch many matches with Real Madrid jersey.  I also think it's successful.  I don't think Real Madrid will let him go easily.  If Anthony Rüdiger wants to leave the team, of course, this may change.  I honestly think this possibility is unrealistic.

Actually there is no reason for Rudiger to leave because indeed he has also got what he wanted by becoming a player who has never been replaced in Madrid's defense to date.
I think for a player like Rudiger who always spends the same contract as he did at Chelsea this is bound to happen at Madrid too.
He'll be here until his contract expires and that's definitely a few more seasons because he's also on a long-term contract.

[CLS63]

Mourinho has been eager to go back to Chelsea according to speculations. But I'm not sure if he can make this team better. I don't like his style much when he adopts a cautious game after getting ahead in a match.

I honestly doubt that a third stint/spell for Mou in Chelsea is possible, after his first spell as Chelsea boss from 2004-2007, and with the trophies he won at the club, he was adored by the fans, they loved him, and that gave him the opportunity to return again as head coach from 2013-2015, and even though he won another EPL title in his second spell as manager, he didn't quite leave on good terms with the fans and the Chelsea board (though it's a different hierarchy right now).

Having said that, remember that afterwards Mou has coached both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, both of which are Chelsea's rivals, and if i remember correctly he had somewhat of a clash with the fans when he returned to Stamford Bridge as Manchester United's manager, all of these makes it quite difficult for him to come back to the club. Anyway Mourinho is currently enjoying his time at Roma, and i think if he is to move from Italy, he would prolly go and coach PSG.

Yeah actually I would also like to see Mourinho continuing to manage Roma as long as they have a decent run in the Serie A. Now things are going on quite good for them as for their chance to qualify for the Champions League. If they manage to make it there then I don't think Roma would like to lose Mourinho to any team either. But there is still time for the end of the season and it is early to be sure of something.

I don't know if PSG would prioritize Mourinho in case they sack Galtier at the end of the season. Maybe they would prefer a manager who likes to play more offensive considering the trio on the front.

Man, let me tell you, Victor Osimhen is straight up one of the hottest strikers in all of Europe right now. No cap, he's been making headlines left and right with all these transfer rumors flying around. Personally, I don't think he's quite ready for the cut-throat competition in England, but hey, that's just me. It's no secret that his partnership with Kvaratskhelia has been clutch for his recent success, but the boy's got skills for days. He don't even need a top-class playmaker to shine, just look at how he did with Insigne last season. And don't forget, he was tearing it up in Ligue 1 before he moved to Serie A. I ain't worried, he'll ball out in the EPL if some smart club scoops him up. I'm hype to see how this summer transfer window plays out and who's gonna lock down Osimhen.

[Distraction]

Kante has finally recovered from his injury and the biggest question is about what he will do with his future from now on.

Because Chelsea still haven't extended his contract and it expires this summer. If they still have an intention to keep him for longer then they had better be quick about their contract talks. Otherwise there are already some big teams being speculated to go for him soon. Kante has had a lasting injury indeed but we don't know how good he will perform yet. Maybe he won't lose much of his usual performance who knows. I don't think he is too old now either - 31. I think he deserves some chances at Chelsea to see what he will do.

Zidane would be a great choice for any club for many reasons. If he really decides to go back to Real Madrid once more, Real Madrid also knows that the chance that Mbappe then decides to leave PSG becomes much bigger. At the moment the French national team is so strong and has world class players in so many different clubs that signing Zidane would also open the door to signing a couple of other great French players. But is he really wanting to do Real Madrid again? I think for him it is the same, if Mbappe would agree and Real sees a way to actually finance the transfer, who knows maybe we get to see another engagement of Zidane with Real Madrid. But given the outrageous numbers of Mbappe's current contracts, I don't know whether that's even possible. But maybe Mbappe does have one special clause in his contract that the public doesn't know about.

Some clubs are already interested in Osimhen since several months ago. We can understand if they are interested in Osimhen because Osimhen is one of the most productive strikers in the world now. With Osimhen's contribution, Napoli can stay in the 1st place of Serie A table. He also played very well in UCL and helps Napoli to qualify to the next round. These are a few reason why some big clubs want to sign him.

I think Napoli won't sell Osimhen, they will be difficult to get the replacement if Osimhen leaves. So, I assume that Napoli prefers to keep Osimhen than expects big money by selling him. Osimhen is irreplacebale for Napoli, he is the key player in Napoli attacking line.

Victor Osimhen has scored for the Parthenopeans in each of their games this season, which is his finest run yet. He has Luciano Spalleti's full support as the club's leading scorer this year, and there is no doubt about it. He is an important player for the team with years of experience playing as a striker. In addition to him, his teammates support the striker from Nigeria. With favorable topping points from their opponents, Napoli is in first place on the table. The club's first aim is winning the scudetto, and the second priority is lifting the champions league title which seems like a complex task for the club. The coach will bring in new players to replace any injured key players.

I just have the impression that Graham Potter has a strong relationship with the new Chelsea owner; coaches don't last long at Chelsea when they don't produce good results when they are most needed. If the management still believes Graham Potter can help the team improve, he needs to act quickly. The club cannot thrive like others by hoping, rather it needs quick action and fix. Hopefully, he'll find a way out before the season ends.

Kante has finally recovered from his injury and the biggest question is about what he will do with his future from now on.

Maybe he won't lose much of his usual performance who knows. I don't think he is too old now either - 31. I think he deserves some chances at Chelsea to see what he will do.

If Chelsea lets Kante go now, I will be disappointed in the team. Kante, of all people, has contributed to the success of Chelsea since his arrival. He's a very good midfielder who can't be let go when he's in good form and ready for any game. He's needed in that midfield, I'm not sure how, but his presence will undoubtedly make a difference. I hope the club thinks about extending his contract and keeping him around for a while.
