⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[alpamar99]

I agree with you, Romelu Lukaku is not an ideal player for Real Madrid he did not record a good appearance in the last 2 seasons even including the burden of the club
I personally think Lukaku is still under Benzema based on quality so it is not appropriate as a substitute for Benzema,  there are still many other players who are more appropriate like Mohammed Kudus, this player is rumored to be the target of Manchester United and reportedly Real Madrid is also interested in contracting him. Usually if the choice between Manchester United and Madrid, players will prefer go to Madrid.

Yep, in the end, if indeed this is forced, it's not impossible, he will also be like Hazard, who really has a big salary but is not used at the club, especially as we know with Madrid's condition, if indeed he can't perform well at the beginning, then he will finish his career there.
With the financial situation and the big name from Madrid I think they can get someone better than Lukaku.

I honestly do not think this is going to happen. The only reason it might happen is if Real Madrid gets a very good deal. Or the coach is still ambitious about Lukaku?
I just see this as a fun experiment.

Otherwise, this is not something Real Madrid is going to count on to have a great return. I think Real Madrid should not go towards this. Real Madrid should be thinking about bringing in Mbappe or Haaland. Maybe they should be even thinking about Harry Kane. But certainly not Lukaku. No point in experimenting with a failed experiment.

Lukaku might be going through some fitness challenge currently but it doesn't dispute the fact that he is a good striker. Mbappe and  Haaland a better strikers but they will be very expensive and Real Madrid might not be willing to splash such amount on them. Tottenham Hotspur revealed that they will be willing to let Harry Kane leave the club if any club offers £100m. These players are very expensive. And Real Madrid is not seeking for a replacement for Karim Benzema but a backup. Benzema is still Real's number one striker and these top class strikers might not be willing to serve as a substitute to the world best player. But Lukaku will be very willing to play as a backup striker and he will be cheap to attract.

And we got some more FC Bayern news. German Sky Sport News is reporting that, if one of the wingers/midfielders has to leave the club, it's likely to be Serge Gnarby. The winger has taken a lot of criticism in recent months and his performances have been rather mixed lately. Leroy Sané on the other hand is likely to stay at Bayern.

If one of Leroy Sané or Serge Gnabry has to leave, the clear tendency is towards Gnabry. The latter, subject to a lot of criticism recently, would not be against moving on, though nothing is decided at the moment [@Plettigoal, @SkySportNews]

Marcel Sabitzer who is currently on loan at Manchester United, is likely to sign a permanent contract at ManU. At least it's pretty clear that he has no future at Bayern at this point.

Marcel Sabitzer wants to stay at Man United. The English club 'can imagine' signing him permanently. No future at FC Bayern

As a Bayern fan, I would be fine with both decisions. Sabitzer has obviously no future at Bayern and yea ... Serge Gnarby, don't know what to say. Strange performances in the past months. No clue if it's worth giving him another high paying contract.

Conte was a good coach at Juve, Chelsea and Inter at least he gave those clubs league titles but it didn't go well at Tottenham, Tottenham continued to be inconsistent and when they finally only drew with bottom-placed Southampton and also his statement causing dislike for this coach and several Tottenham players hope the coach will be sacked, https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21768667/tottenham-news-players-conte-sacked/
but who would be fit to replace him? Seeing Tottenham as a team that has good players but lacks achievements is very unfortunate.

As a coach, Conte has clearly given his best for Spurs. However, as we know after the match ended against Southampton, Conte finally started to criticize the owner and management of the club for the last 10 years for not being able to do anything to win 1 title in any competition. Therefore I am not surprised when there is news that Conte will be sacked and it seems that Conte is very fed up with the performance of everyone in the current team environment. I think even though there is a new coach who will replace Conte, but if there are no significant changes within the club, it will definitely be the same even if Spurs can bring in a new coach. As for the current candidate I don't have any idea of a popular coach to take over Spurs.

When it comes to modern day football, there very few managers who publicly demonstrate their passion for football and good results like Antonio Conte.
He knows how to instil discipline in any club that he's managing and for him to publicly criticize Tottenham players and the clubs management on Saturday tells how infuriated he is with style of play and mentality of the players and also how disappointed he is with the management of the club for how they've been handling critical issues of the club.

Before he publicly granted such interview simply means that he is fed up and doesn't care for what decision the club might take after that. The club management will want to show the supremacy as the owners of the club by probably sacking him before the end of the season but that doesn't change the fact that what he said about the club is true and they must seriously act on those factors he pointed out if they want to win something in the future

The speculations about Maguire to be sold in the summer have started to surface again these days. He is expected to be sold together with Lindelof according to some news sources. I think this would really be the right move for Manchester United to make. They refuted the rumours about they would sell Maguire in January first. But now I don't think they will make a statement like they will keep Maguire in the team. Because he doesn't even play regularly and for a long time when he has the chance.

Lindelof hasn't been much differrent than him either. It depends on they find better alternatives for these two defenders of course. I think they can find better defenders but I don't think it would be their priority. Because they should sign a solid striker first.

If the news going round about Firmino's departure are mere rumours then I wonder what is to be believed from the internet this days.

Rumors about Firmino have always been circulating even since last season which was linked to several clubs from Turkey and other leagues who are always looking for profits by coveting good conditions in a league that is not very well known for players of his age.
But indeed the final decision is clearly unpredictable and he even extended the contract and I wouldn't be too surprised later if there were the same conditions.

Roberto Firmino has decided not to extend his contract with Liverpool which expires in June 2023. After that, rumors about him became a hot topic of conversation which has always been linked with many clubs. starting from Milan, Inter, Barcelona, ​​even clubs from the Arab League. but so far, there is no certainty that he will choose the club that is his destination.

According to some of the latest rumors, it is alleged that Firmino could move to La Liga by joining the capital team, namely Atletico Madrid. As reported by Football Espana, Atletico are starting to monitor their chances of bringing in the 31-year-old player because they are anticipating Joao Felix's departure in the coming season.
however, IMO, if Firmino wants to become a regular player with his new club. it seems, Milan is the ideal choice or maybe playing for Inter Milan which incidentally looks like Lukaku will return to his original club. so, Serie A is the right choice for him to continue his future.

Conte has been a Tottenham coach for quite a long time, but he blamed management for Tottenham's failure to win 1 title. This is actually the basis of the issue of the rift between Conte, players and management

I still support that Tottenham have the desire to change their coach, so that Conte can improve himself in other teams and surely Tottenham's performance will improve with his departure

As long as Real Madrid does not wish to spend too much money on Haaland or Mbappe, then they can always choose to go for Harry Kane or Osimhen instead. In terms of the cost of these four players, Harry Kane is going to be the least expensive. Harry Kane is going to be the best value for money when it comes to this purchase.

However, if they are looking to invest in the future, I would say that mbappe or Haaland are the most appropriate options for them to consider. There is no way I can understand how Lukaku is even a part of the discussion at the moment. Unless they have a specific plan, I don't think they should get him.

[beerlover]

It would be better if Real Madrid took a striker other than Lukaku. Lukaku has failed to perform well in recent seasons and it would be a big risk if Real Madrid signed him. I agree more if Real Madrid takes a young player to replace Benzema. Benzema will remain in the team until next season, so it is an opportunity for them to find young players. So far Benzema has been reliable, so they still have time.

I agree with you, Romelu Lukaku is not an ideal player for Real Madrid he did not record a good appearance in the last 2 seasons even including the burden of the club
I personally think Lukaku is still under Benzema based on quality so it is not appropriate as a substitute for Benzema,  there are still many other players who are more appropriate like Mohammed Kudus, this player is rumored to be the target of Manchester United and reportedly Real Madrid is also interested in contracting him. Usually if the choice between Manchester United and Madrid, players will prefer go to Madrid.

Benzema may not show himself as a great player this season that's true but it has been just one season since he won the biggest award, so lets give him a chance of course and asking Lukaku to be better than him would be a big ask. I think they need to just focus on someone much younger, I know they couldn't get Mbappe or Haaland, but someone around those ages would be fine.

If nothing else, they should go for Osimhen, he proved himself this year as a great scorer and he is not that old neither so he would be the future of the club given the chance. They have managed to build teams that are great, so I trust them to do it again for next season as well.

If a list of top ten strikers in the world is published right now, I am not sure that Lukaku's name will make the list. If Mbappe and Haalaand are impossible to get, they should really consider Harry kane more than any other option. Harry kane has one advantage over Osimhen which is injury proneness. Osimhen is very prone to injuries and can go games without playing because of injury. If he gets injured for Real Madrid in an important competition that they need him, it can get really bad for Real Madrid.

While there is many talk about Osimhen and the club going to sign him, I still await the club that will show interest in getting the other star player in Napoli Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who has also had a great season.

Current financial situation is surely not favouring Real Madrid to spend big amount with this most chances they will go with few alternative players which can also do better in future as Karim Benzema replacement, and they are Victor Osimhen, Harry Kane and Gabriel Jesus as they are under Carlos Ancelotti radar for their future but still things are not predictable because we all know at the last moment any big change can bring big surprise in soccer world so here things can also take change, and we can have Mbappé at Real Madrid which was the biggest target but at the last moment he refuse for this transfer and now Real Madrid is having not talk about him.

With most chances, Harry Kane which is currently one of the best attacking striker in English Premier League is also not happy to leave England for any other club, but things can go into positive way for him as well which will also favourable for the Real Madrid as he is experienced and well deserved player for this club.

[savetheFORUM]

We know Benzema is getting old and Real Madrid should start finding another player to replace him even after they extended the contract for another year with him, I think Real Madrid can find much better options than Lukaku, I mean during this season Lukaku couldn't play much for Inter, even a few days ago Inter Milan said they are going to give Lukaku back to Chelsea problem because he could perform well.

Lukaku is good striker that can suit to Real Madrid style of play because of his pace, especially as we know that Real Madrid have good wingers and midfielders that are capable of feeding him with passes, therefore it is not a bad option if Real Madrid go for him, he might be having a bad time in Inter Milan and I am sure Chelsea will not keep him.

Here I have feeling media is creating some fuse about this all because Lukaku has never been ideal player for the Real Madrid and Ancelotti will also never accept him as Karim Benzema replacement because he is also another player who is living with injuries and having mostly fitness problems which will create more problems for them instead of having any relief for them in absence of Karim Benzema currently many players are under their target and who is going to win this place it's surely mystery because something going to happen in next summer transfer window and how their search going to end this is also big question with most chances we will have Gabriel Jesus or Flex will be also can fit into this way but nothing is clear until end of this season.

After having good success in this season things are going to be completely different for the Manchester United in next season which needs few changes and if they are now thinking about this surely Ten Hag having something different in his mind for the next season because right now he is doing all positive moves which are giving them good success in all leagues Maquire was talk of the town in last winter transfer window but nothing happen but now most chances they will bring better suitable replacement and complete this transfer which will help both parties.

Lindelof is also having not good role in this team with new changes occurring, and many new faces are under target which are going to have better performance and quality with who is under their radar for the next season right now no one having any clue as all will be clear after end of this season which is now just two months away.

Sure, Harry Kane is the least expensive because he is almost 30 years old. While Mbappe, Haaland, and Osimhen are under 25 years old. So, the future of these strikers seems brighter than Harry Kane because they will have a longer career. But for the quality or skills, Harry Kane is also a good striker, he deserves to join Real Madrid.

Mbappe, Haaland, and Osimhen are the best options for Real Madrid. But they are more expensive than Harry Kane. And Real Madrid must compete with many top teams, too.

There is talk in the Turkish press that Enes Ünal, who played in Getafe and got successful results this season, could be transferred to Real Madrid, but the news did not seem very convincing to me. Still, Enes Ünal is really successful this season. He is second in the La Liga top scorer rankings, just behind Lewandowski. I expect him to make a good transfer at the end of this season. Even if he is not transferred to Real Madrid, it is time for him to play in a better team.

[kawetsriyanto]

A bit surprised that if madrid was picking lukaku as a backup for benzema. I guess it's hard to think that whether this news was true or not. As far as i know if ancellotti is also putting a lot of respect to him. That will be a big surprise if that will be true.

Spanish outlet Fichajes reports that Real Madrid are considering picking up Lukaku from Chelsea in the summer to accompany Karim Benzema in attack.

Los Blancos coach Carlo Ancelotti is a fan of the Belgian striker and a deal would likely be accessible, with the Blues keen to shift the unwanted forward.

OMG, why does Ancelotti speculate about Real Madrid future by choosing Lukaku?
If Real Madrid really signs Lukaku, I think it will be a big mistake. There is nothing so special about this striker, it is much better to choose Harry Kane, Osimhen, or Mbappe. Lukaku may be cheaper but it just wastes money if Lukaku can contribute anything to Real Madrid performance. He is also not a typical striker who fist with Real Madrid tactic. Ancelotti can be a fan of Lukaku, but it shouldn't be the main reason to consider him as the successor of Benzema.

Real Madrid will not be easy to get the best attacking players this season because it is certain that the club that has the best players will maintain their best team until the season's matches are over. Erling Haaland and Victor Osimhen will be the most expensive players this season because they are the key to victory from the team they currently have.

I think that you shall not talk about the chance of haaland and mbappe moving to the real madrid. Mbappe will not be moving to the madrid caused by it has been clarified before if madrid is disinterested in him. Madrid prefers to pick another striker instead of signing him from PSG. Mbappe has been also extending his contract in PSG and i see no reason for mbappe to move to another club. I meant people must aware that if there are some trusted sources were also clarifying it. like this.

Real Madrid tired of the Mbappe soap opera
The feeling in Valdebebas is one of disinterest as the option of an Mbappe transfer remains a slight possibility. While a move has not been ruled out at any point, it is evident that Real Madrid will not jeopardise the development of the 23-24 squad in order to bring him in.

There is no way I can understand how Lukaku is even a part of the discussion at the moment. Unless they have a specific plan, I don't think they should get him.

Those will not move to their club. Madrid is looking for a good striker. There are a bunch of good names like osimhen. Osimhen was also on the same level as haaland. I personally think that if lukaku is also having possibility to get a message from real madrid.

Anything can happen but i don't think haaland will be interested moving from EPL while he was happy at manchester city.

[Despairo]

With the bad performance from Crystal Palace on this year, Crystal Palace sacking Patrick Vieira and Patrick McCarthy temporary manage Crystal Palace but it make the situation become worst. Now Crystal Palace already make a deal with Roy Hodgson who previously was a Watford's manager.

Crystal Palace has no choice here, so they're gambling to sign Hodgson despite he's already 75 years old and he has no history successfully manage a club become a champion in the past.

Real Madrid will not be easy to get the best attacking players this season because it is certain that the club that has the best players will maintain their best team until the season's matches are over. Erling Haaland and Victor Osimhen will be the most expensive players this season because they are the key to victory from the team they currently have.

It is true that Haaland and Osimhen are key players for every club they currently defend. We know that both of them are even the top scorers for their respective leagues at the moment. Surely Real Madrid will have to dig deep into their pockets to bring in one of these players and even if Real Madrid can get him, of course the race for the La Liga title in the following season will fully belong to Real Madrid.

I think right now Real Madrid is having a striker crisis to be able to score more goals and of course to win every game. The president Florentino Perez and the club management should be able to discuss this so that they are not left behind by their eternal rival Barcelona in the hunt for the La Liga title next season.
