⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Despairo]

Nagelsmann is the strongest candidate for the job as it seems. I really like his management style so he might be a good choice for Chelsea now.

Yeah Chelsea already approached Nagelsmann, even though they're also appreciated Ruben Amorim, and no talk with Pochettino yet [1].

After spend a lot money to bought many young players and didn't contribute anything, Chelsea sacked Graham Potter even he haven't yet manage Chelsea for a year. It's really crucial for Chelsea to sack Potter in this month because the next 2 weeks Chelsea will play in Champions League.

I don't think we will see Chelsea will win against Real Madrid.

Not for Zidane. Even if they expect more from this one coach, I'm not sure Zidane will. The reason is actually almost the same as before, he will not be at the English club because of the language barrier and Zidane has made it clear from the start and of course for now it will be in vain to hope for Zidane. Naglesmann is the most likely at the moment.

Hoping for zidane to be a new coach for chelsea is too good to be true. Zidane has his favorite team to be coached and zidane may be going back again to the real madrid. Some news already told that if chelsea already approached naglesmann but so far there's no further confirmation about what's gonna be the final result.
In another case, it seems like so many players in chelsea were disrespectful to potter. This also becomes the main reason why potter got sacked.

Graham Potter lacked the respect of his Chelsea squad – one of the main factors behind his sacking, according to reports.

It's a common thing for me since some of the players in chelsea have ever won prestigious trophies like UCL and they thought if they deserved to be coached by a good coach. I hope naglesmann will be agreed to be a new coach for chelsea.

A bit surprised to see that bayern was sacking him caused by he was playing ski.

Even Brendan Rodgers is speculated for the manager job at Chelsea now. As Leicester aren't having a good season maybe they could part ways with him. But I don't know if Boehly would like to see him in the team while he is having an unsuccessful season. Chelsea wouldn't like to make a similar mistake to the one they did with Potter.

Nagelsmann is the strongest candidate for the job as it seems. I really like his management style so he might be a good choice for Chelsea now.

Brendan Rodgers has been confirmed to leave Leicester by mutual agreement, but will Rodgers be suitable for Chelsea because basically Rodgers is not too special, maybe if he really goes to Chelsea it will not provide extraordinary things for Chelsea maybe the former Bayern Munich coach will be able to provide the difference and what Boehly hopes for even though Nagelsmann has no experience in the English premier league but his experience in Munich will be useful enough to build Chelsea, if Chelsea fail to choose the right replacement for Potter then all the money that has been spent on players will be wasted and will only make them have to look for a replacement again until they find a suitable one.
Who replaces Potter's position will be very interesting to follow and who will eventually be chosen by Chelsea will be the center of the news when several games do not show improvement and will receive enough criticism.

We can still read in the online news about the possibility that the Saudi Arabian club will buy Benzema, Modric and Segio Ramos, and there are rumors that Al Nassr will do that

at almost 40 years old, I see these three players better playing in the Arab league because currently only clubs from the Arab league can accommodate them all at once

playing for money at the end of their career I think is a very reasonable reason

With the earnings of players growing insanely, playing just for the money is the only right decision. I remember that when Ronaldo moved to Real Madrid, the transfer amount seemed cosmically huge (something a little more than 100 million), and now Ronaldo earns this amount in six months without straining. It is foolish to see an opportunity to earn as much as you have earned in your entire career, in a couple of years, and not take advantage of it.
This is especially true for ordinary players like Modric, unlike Ronaldo, he is not so media-friendly and cannot earn at the expense of his former glory (at least gigantic sums).

I really like Modric's way of playing, he is one of the best midfielders in the world, and the next team that will have him will definitely change 180 degrees because of the beautiful game he can give

besides that Modric and Benzema are quite close to CR7 so it will be great if both these players can play in the same league as CR7, of course, with a big salary too, Modric is a low profile player, he is not like CR7 who is quite crazy with the media

Ten Haag also wants their first goalkeeper to stay so let's see how board feels about it now.

It will be a big loss for Manchester United to loose De Gea. He is a very important component of the team, Making great saves with his wonderful reflex and single handedly being the difference for Manchester United whenever their defense was leaky. Even in their game against Newcastle today that they still lost by two goals, it would have easily been more had he not kept out a lot of chances that Newcastle created and that would have Increased Newcastle's goal difference.

How many of you have seen the most recent news on Mbappe. It looks like he may still leave PSG next year to Real Madrid on a free transfer. Reece James has also become a target for Real Madrid, that can be really tempting, to play for Los Blancos.

Mbappe news
Reece James news

I would advise all three players to look nowhere else and move to Real Madrid
Bellingham, James and also Kylian Mbappe
All these three players are the potential player's Real Madrid deserves for the future all creative attacking minded players

as a Real Madrid fan, I feel that hype around Bellingham, James, and Mbappé joining the squad. These ballers got mad skills, ready to light up the pitch and take our attack to the next level.

Nonetheless, we must acknowledge the hurdles that stand between us and these celebrated signings. The labyrinthine bureaucracy between Real Madrid and PSG boards has been a thorn in our side, and the financial ramifications of Mbappé's contract are not to be dismissed lightly.

Yet, should Real Madrid surmount these obstacles and acquire the services of this trio, it may very well revolutionize the team. With their proven prowess and our existing strengths, we could remain an indomitable force for years to come.

Graham Potter has been relieved of his duty and Fans are raving at hearing the news. I could barely see a supporter of Pott amongst Chelsea fans and that's so sorrowful of all departed coaches. No one wants the young man in Stanford bridge and no one regrets the decision. The question now is who to take over this duty seeing chelsea in this condition, the club needs an experienced coach with a good plan. Many want's Naggelsman who was lately sacked by Bayern management and I'm not seeing this option to be a good one.

Graham Potter is on the list of Chelsea's 15th coach since Mourinho in 2004.
However, Chelsea's decision to dismiss Potter was a good one albeit a little late.
Bruno will get the task from Boehly to accompany the Blues squad to compete before the certainty of the new coach comes to Stamford Bridge.
Rumors are that Julian Nagelsmann will have the opportunity to be brought by Boehly to Stamford Bridge.

See what it has done to Chelsea management after they were so patient with Potter Graham. I didn't support him managing Chelsea from the start because I didn't think he had what it takes to run such an elite club. Chelsea can not win the champions league or qualify for the following season's competition, it is clear that they cannot arrive and perform any sort of miracle with any new Coach. The management needs to be held accountable for whatever Chelsea experienced.

For sure, this summer football transfer will be amazing. A lot of football star waiting for changing their destination, Hazard, Dea ga, Morata even James are eagerly waiting for summer transfer. Some big fish like Real Madrid, Chelsea, ManU and Mancity are already started negotiating to grip their desirable players.

For football fans the summer transfer window is always an exciting time of year and that is expected to continue this year. With so many elite athletes potentially moving the transfer market is sure to be exciting and dramatic We are excited to see who transfers where since it is fantastic to see some of the greatest teams in the globe already strengthening their squads. Were all going to be on edge as a result of the transfer rumours and conjecture and were excited to see how it all turns out Overall football lovers are in for an amazing summer

Hopefully Chelsea can get a coach who can lead them in a better direction. This season they have sacked coaches twice and that is something bad because it proves that they have not appointed the right coach. Nagelsmann is indeed predicted to become Chelsea coach to replace Graham Potter's duties. His performance at Bayern Munich was actually fine, so he still deserves to be at Chelsea.

I also hope so. Already the state of the club is not too good and as such the hasty decision of taking a coach might end them in wrong choice. Already as it stands now, the probability of chelsea findng a good coach with Prolific record to take over the managerial work, is very narrow. it will be a huge luck if they can do that. But for Naggelsman, he is a good coach but I really don't see him as a worthy figure capable of taking over the jab. Bayern Munich team was well furnished with young talented stars but the brain behind Naggelsman's departure is my reason as to why Naggelsman may not have a good future in chelsea.

...
Pochettino and Nagelsmann seem to be the biggest candidates to me for now.

What do you think of Zidane? He turned into a tree while waiting for Real Madrid. If Chelsea offered him a job, do you think he would accept it? Chelsea are in a bit of a mess today, but they have the kind of talented players that any manager would want to have.

Zidane does not want to work in England, which he has spoken about many times. He is closer to being in charge of PSG than to moving to England, and to the same in a crisis team.

Mbappé has already offered to play for Real Madrid in 2024, so only the other two remain.
Unfortunately, Real Madrid's board refuses to do business with the French and only accepts signing Mdappé when he is free on the market.... is it really??

Mbappé's contract with PSG even has a clause that allows him to "free himself" if they don't win the Champions League, but I think that's unlikely to happen.

Would Real Madrid also be able to pay the 6 million euros almost twice as much as PSG pays Neymar and Lionel Messi? Of course... that would be totally possible for a team like Real Madrid.
The real problem is just the bureaucratic issue between the boards of the two teams, which has already been quite worn out in the two previous attempts to hire Mdappé.

Mbappe needs Real more than Real needs him. In fact, Mbappe has already pissed away a fair amount of his “golden” years by being stuck at PSG. This is a swamp team. First it swallowed Neymar, who everyone thought would collect all the Ballon d'Ors in the next decade, now Mbappe. Therefore, Real will be able to negotiate an adequate salary for Mbappe.

I wouldn't be against Nagelsmann as Chelsea manager, that is someone they really needed at the start of the season. He is the type of manager who ends up finding the right players for right prices. I feel like who Bayern bought this season has been amazing and he did great at transfer, plus not just the players he got but the price he got them as well, it was all perfect.

Chelsea is a rich club, and overpaid many players, with Nagelsmann they could actually pay people real amount of money they deserve and not more, and can get really good players as well. He wouldn't be great at managing the team itself, but building the team will be an amazing thing he can do. A director deal would have been better, but as a manager he could still be better than Potter at least.

Personally I think Chelsea should support Bruno who will be in charge temporary till the end of the season and bring back Mourinho from Roma, I am not yet convinced with the calibre of likely successor of Graham Potter with the likes of Julian Nagelsmann, Mauricio Pochettino and Zinedine Zidane I don't think any of those managers has the quality to manage such a big club like Chelsea on a long term perspective, maybe Zidane but with Mourinho in charge an instant turnaround of the club is sure, because he won't condone lack of quality of any player and will assembly a formidable team within the shortest period of time because of his vast experience in European leagues.

sad news:

Brendan Rodgers has been sacked by Leicester

Graham Potter sacked by Chelsea

source: https://www.instagram.com/fabriziorom/

Leicester's situation is very serious, they are in the relegation zone, in the last 5 games they only managed to have only 1 draw, this means that they are 5 games without a win, but what I cannot understand is that Leicester managed to beat Tottenham ( i know tottenham are a disaster ), but leicester managed to score 4 goals in the game against tottenham but then went on a streak of 5 games without a win, that's weird to be honest

Brendan Rodgers achievement in Leicester City is quite good that in this team he can able to get Community Shield trophy and bring Leicester advance to the semifinal match Europa Conference League but indeed in since the beginning of season Leicester has been showing decline performance and seems their performance were never been better and stayed at the bottom of standings league although in my opinion it's not entirely Rodgers' fault because at that time he has complaining Leicester didn't give enough funds for him to bought players
I just found several popular names for the replacement of Rodgers such as Rafael Benitez but apparently the management has decide to hire Adam Sadler and Mike Stowell as the interm manager of Leicester and with only 10 matches remaining it's really hard for them to bringing Leicester to avoid relegation zone

We all know that Rogers has been a good manager in the English Premier League and precisely in the Leicester he has done some good work in the club. But the irony of the matter is that this season that he is being sacked by the club management. He did not do as best as he used to do. The story will not be fair that Chelsea will hire a coach that was not successful in a lesser club to be their current manager.

I do not think that Chelsea management will even think towards that way. It is just a fabricated rumour.
Meanwhile, whoever that wants to be the coach of Chelsea should understand that he may not last up to one season and six months in the club. That is the nature and tradition of Chelsea Football Club.

Nagelsmann is a good coach and if  Chelsea appoints him he will do better than potter. If Nagelsmann performs just exactly the way he performed in Bayern if he becomes Chelsea coach, Chelsea will be among the top teams in the premier league no doubt about it. He will be good for the work.

about chelsea, i was already saying here that it wouldn't take long for chelsea's coach to be fired, it's not acceptable for chelsea to remain a mediocre team when they put a lot of money in to bring in good players, it was a matter of a short time before they fired chelsea coach because nothing would change as long as he remains in charge of chelsea coach, chelsea doesn't even have a chance of going to the champions league next season

It is not surprising that Leicester finally sacked coach Brendan Rodgers, after the series of poor results Leicester have achieved this season have forced them to be entrenched in the relegation zone this season. Even if we step back for a moment, in the 2015/2016 season we saw how successful Leicester were that they won the EPL title that season. But after that now we can't see Leicester in the same form until this season and now they are mostly stuck in the middle of the table. But if this season they get relegated, of course it will be a bad record for the last few seasons.

Brendan rogers already sacked by leicester city due to the same case as potter. It will be even more than stupid if chelsea signed him as a new coach. Chelsea will be going to the relegation zone even faster than before. I strongly disagree with such decision to take him. Just let brendant jobless caused by his incompetency to manage a club. He is not worthy anymore to be considered as a coach. Taking brendan = destroying the club.

That's it.

Nagelsmann is the strongest candidate for the job as it seems. I really like his management style so he might be a good choice for Chelsea now.

The talks with naglesmann are still going on but the result is still uncertain. it's caused by naglesmann not yet giving positive results in talks with chelsea. We can hope that there will be some good progress as the result from approached that already made by chelsea to him.
Chelsea really need a new coach that can give good motivation to the club and it's not another new potter again.

Is it not the sunk cost fallacy we just saw play out in Chelsea? Oh by the way, according to Google, the sunk cost fallacy is a phenomenon whereby a person is reluctant to abandon a strategy or course of action because they have invested heavily in it, even when it is clear that abandonment would be more beneficial.

What I can deduce from what has played is that Chelsea have become a business entity rather than a football club with deep social roots. Also, it seems that this unfortunate phenomenon is permeating other football clubs and that a basic community loyalty is being surpassed by the interest in financial gains instead of the community's spirit  .
Anyways back to Potter. The two questions on my mind are
- Where would he go next?
- who is his replacement?
