⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

The latest rumors come from Liverpool who are interested in signing Rodrigo De Paul from Atletico Madrid this summer. As we know, he is one of the players who managed to bring Argentina to win the 2022 world cup with Lionel Messi and others. Jurgen Kloop seems to have run out of ways to improve his midfield and it seems he wants the services of De Paul, who plays as an attacking midfielder, so he can open up more gaps and opportunities for attacking players in front of the opponent's goal. With a market value of 40 million euros I think the price is still relatively cheap and it seems we will wait for further news regarding this rumour. Do you think De Paul is the figure needed by the current Liverpool squad?

Rodrigo De Paul has not been one of the frequently mentioned names in the transfer market even after winning the world cup with Argentina so I think this shouldn't be too much trouble for Liverpool trying to get him on their side next season, his market value shouldn't be much of a problem, I think it's worth the try because he could add stability to Liverpool's midfield if he joins the squad.

I don't know if Frank Lampard will be really good for Chelsea, but maybe this is just the first step to take Chelsea in a good direction while contacting some of the best managers. This is a second chance for Frank Lampard which he should be able to take advantage of, he has a good job to bring the team to good performance, this is an opportunity because Chelsea are not in a good position.

Even if Lampard doesn't make it, this means he'll only get that short-term termination, but I think he'll stay until the end of the season. There is a chance that Lampard will stay if in fact Chelsea can get in good form for the rest of the season.

Frank Lampard wasn't so bad in his first time as Chelsea manager, probably with the available players now and the quality of the squad their is a better probability of doing better with this second chance. The objective for the remainder of the season will be to make European football and if he can turn the situation around till the end of the season their is tendency of getting a new deal at the end of the season.

It's true that we haven't heard rumors about De Paul since the victory brought Argentina to win the 2022 world cup. The most we hear about are Argentinian players like Enzo Fernandes and Mac Alleister, these two names are very loud regarding transfer rumors. But only Enzo Fernandes whose rumors came true and joined Chelsea. Indeed, Kloop must immediately improve his midfield and De Paul's experience seems to be able to increase effectiveness which is currently lacking at Liverpool.

Mourinho was just offered 120 million Euro from Saudi Arabia and yes, I am saying Saudi Arabia because he himself can choose whether he wants to coach a club from the Saudi Professional League or whether he wants to coach the national team. The contract is going to pay him 60 million per season and he is free to cancel the contract anytime or to extend it. He is also free to take the national team to the World Cup 2026. It's absurd how the Saudis can throw around with their money. These sums are insane. I am not very interested to see how Mourinho will react. He has a contract until 2024 with Roma, but guess what, I am sure that if they don't want to let him go, the Saudis are simply going to pay for Mourinho to get the go from the Roma bosses. 

It is very interesting seeing how the Saudi have so much money to throw around, though it makes sense when you think about the benefits and what is there to achieve with these deals. The deals have being doing a lot to make the league become recognised globally and so far just like how Ronaldo's deal has been a major boost and upliftment to the league, bringing Mourinho will also drag more attention to the league.

I doubt if Chelsea will qualify for any European competition next season even with Lampard in charge of the team except if they win UCL this season which I believe is quite difficult to achieve going by the quality of the remaining teams in that competition, their best bet which Lampard can aspire to achieve could have been Europa league spot,  however as it stand now their chances of picking a 5th position is absolutely slim because of teams above them are equally vying for that spot too clubs such as Tottenham, Brighton, Liverpool and Brentford are in good form and consistent in their performance .

Lampard received a very tough task given by Todd Boehly, at a time when the club was in a slump and had to try to develop as much as possible until the end of the season. At least Lampard puts Chelsea in the top 8 or at least the top 10. Because if the results are bad he doesn't have another chance to be extended. Todd Boehly is still in contact with several coaches which means making options early if at any time Lampard is unable to satisfy Todd Boehly.

I don’t understand why people say that Messi should retire in Barcelona. Because Lionel Messi has achieved everything that can be achieved in football. Now it will be much more important for him to actually get a really huge salary towards the end of his career. That’s why I believe he should go and play for the Saudi League. 400, million is a huge amount of money. Unless Barcelona is giving him at least 200 million, I will say Lionel Messi should go into the Saudi League. Lionel Messi has also achieved, almost everything with Barcelona. Really is no solid reason for him to go back again.

For players like Lionel Messi, money is no longer the main goal in playing football. It's true he's won everything in Europe, including money. All the luxuries he has are the result of his hard work as a soccer player. An offer from the Arab League is difficult for anyone to refuse, Ronaldo, who wants to continue his career in Europe to be able to play again in the UCL, cannot refuse a large salary offer from the Arab League.

Messi current situation makes it very possible for him to survive on the European stage, apart from Barcelona who still really want his services, Manchester City are also trying to persuade Messi to land at the Etihad stadium. I think Messi will continue to play in European competition even though the salary received is smaller than that offered in the Arab League, because the level of European competition is far above Asian competition.

Money can always be or become a goal again, that is very relative. From a political or moral perspective, I don't understand why Ronaldo went to Saudi Arabia and play in a country where human rights are worth shit. From a financial standpoint, he must be absolutely crazy to deny an offer where he can earn in 2.5 years what he has earned in 20 years before that. It is so much money that it becomes relevant again. If someone offered Elon Musk 10x of his net worth for Tesla, I am not sure what he would do. It is always relative. We normal human beings would think that at some point enough is enough, but that's perhaps not how it works.

It remains to be seen how Messi will decide as I am really interested in his decision and whether he has the guts to decline an offer paying him 400 million a year. Does he need the money? No. But that's not the point.

Maybe, Chelsea doesn't have many options with very little time. which in the end, Lampard lined up to become interim coach. I don't think it's too bad, maybe Lampard can prove that he can bring Chelsea to change. and like you said, this is a second chance for Frank Lampard.

IMO, he just needs to create an ideal system for Chelsea players. I mean, Lampard just needs to correct what Potter is lacking. because in terms of the quality of the players, Chelsea has it. it's just that, the obstacle for Chelsea players is that there is no teamwork. That's why I said before, we don't know what happened in the Chelsea locker room with Potter. So, let's wait for Chelsea to play their game under Lampard's tutelage. after all, he is only a temporary option until the end of this season. Nonetheless, I'm pretty sure Nagelsmann will take over at Chelsea next summer.

With Messi coming to the Arab League, this is very interesting, many are looking forward to them, Ronaldo vs Messi will compete again.

I did saw this transfer update from Fabrizio Romano and I must say a $400M/year deal is quite a tempting offer from Al Hilal. When Al Nassr came for Ronaldo, I was among those that never thought he would accept the offer because his quality hasn't declined, but he did. With this kind of offer on the table for Messi, he might want to consider it, considering the fact that PSG is not interested in renewing his contract or what they are offering is not appealing to him. Though, Barca is still in the picture but I doubt if they are ready to offer close what Al Hilal is offering.

I agree with Joan Gaspart when they said Messi should stay in PSG even for a minute, he is a legend in Barcelona where he can be gt the respect he deserves while PSG they disrespect him all the time, in Barcelona, they love Messi however he can't get the money he can get in Asian and Arabian teams. I guess Barcelona will be his next and final destination.

I don't want to get anyone hopes high but when Frank Lampard first signed for Chelsea there was a transfer ban which restrict the club from buying players so he had to make do with the crop of players available to him. Lampard has inherited a fantastic squad but he has limited time to get to know the players, their individual qualities and to put the team together. It's indeed a daunting task and it would only take a miracle for Chelsea to play in europe next season.

Frank Lampard's presence certainly has positive and negative sides. Currently, Lampard has a very tough task where he has to take care of a club that is experiencing a downturn. Although for him returning to Chelsea is a joy, the 44-year-old cannot relax with his happiness. There is a tough task awaiting the interim manager.

Todd Boehly said there were four tasks given to Lampard. Among them, Lampard must be able to make the new Chelsea players solid with the old players, apart from that Lampard must also be able to take advantage of the old players, which in Potter's hands the old players could not perform as expected. Reece James, Mason Mount, and Christian Pulisic have been below par this season.
I doubt that Lampard will be able to go through all of this to bring Chelsea at least into the top 8 of the standings, plus the rest of the season which is only a few weeks away.

Happy to have Frank Lampard back. I hope his ambition can rub off on the players and they'll be fired up for when the new manager enters, even though I'm not expecting anything extraordinary from him. Knowing that someone cares about the club is in control makes me happy, even though I'm not expecting anything extraordinary from him. His upbeat approach, self-assurance, and no-nonsense professional demeanor will also inspire and lead the team. There is a strong probability that this will work for the remaining games, however I can't guarantee it will in the long run.

Arsenal and Chelsea are in the hunt for Everton defensive midfielder Amadou Onana in the summer. Apart from these two competitions, what is quite unreasonable is the market value, even though he plays for a team like Everton, which this season has often had bad results in every game. I think for chelsea at any price they will buy it if they want it, but for arsenal they will definitely make an offer at a lower price than the current market value.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Mourinho seems to have two options right now in fact. These options are a Saudia Arabia team and Chelsea as it seems.

The offer from this Saudi Arabia team seems really hard to refuse for Mourinho. But it is all about what he is planning to do anyway. Does he still have a goal to achieve in Europe? Then I think he would be closer to accepting a deal from Chelsea side. Otherwise he can just choose money to guarantee the rest of his life just as Ronaldo has done. I wouldn't judge him about his final decision if he was a fan. It is his life in the end. By the way I don't know if Chelsea are even thinking of preparing an offer for him. Because they don't seem to be rushing anything for now.

 Chelsea in all wing has good choices and should not be in a hase to get replacement for any of them.   After spending so much money in getting players to fill-in for all the arms of the team, Chelsea ended up in sacking their manager due to incompetence.  This not because the players are poor but because the coach couldn't use the available players, this as resulted the club In waiting extra money. I'm really not sure Chelsea want to spend more players. if there is a need for any, it shouldn't be to fill-in for the defensive position of the team. But for central attackers.

I don't even know which report that can be trusted caused by in another news onana already rejected chelasea from the list of club that will able to get him.

Everton midfielder Amadou Onana has reportedly rejected a move to Chelsea, according to Foot Mercato.

https://onefootball.com/en/news/amadou-onana-turns-down-transfer-to-chelsea-36671212

I think that if he already rejected chelsea from the list and that's why arsenal will able to get him from everton. Onana has been helping everton to leave from the relegation zone. It seems like that if he will be only interesting to join in the club that will be playing in UCL.
That's why chelsea was already removed as potential team to get him as he rejected it.

I hope that if he will make further confirmation regarding a rumor that linked him to arsenal and chelsea.

It looks like Mourinho is called with not only Chelsea but also with a Saudi Arabian team for next season. They say that he has got an enormous offer by such team already. I wonder if he is really thinking of leaving Europe in this case. I don't know if it is time for him to leave here before reaching a big achievement again. But I don't know if he can achieve it with Roma now.

Chelsea aren't rushing anything for now but I wonder how good they would be with Mourinho. I'm just not sure about him as his usual game plan is a little old from now on.

Mourinho's contract with Roma still runs until 2024. So far Mourinho has presented one title for Roma, but behind his success in Rome, on the other hand, he admits that he was frustrated because of the lack of financial support from the Giallorossi management. Mourinho also said he wants to return to the Premier League next season, if next season Mourinho really goes to the Premier League it is likely that Chelsea is the club he has chosen.

Regarding Mounrinho's age, which can be said to be elderly, this can interfere with his performance in training. But, on the other hand, I don't think this had much effect on him. The longer a person pursues a field, the more professional that person is. Mourinho has tremendous experience in coaching. In addition, Mourinho is one of the most accomplished coaches in the world.
I'm sure Mourinho has prepared an unusual tactic for next season.

[KTChampions]

Let's see how it all ends up in the end. Maybe City will go to the Championship, Guardiola will be sacked and Chelsea will intercept him  Or Chelsea can somehow convince Zidane to move to the Premier League (no less fantastic). At the moment we don't know Chelsea's goals so we can't fully assess their actions.
As for Tuchel, I think Boehly will never remember him - for him it's just business. If the employees do not give results, he changes them. Someday the kaleidoscope will form into the correct picture.

Guardiola knows his way to winning the Champions League but this time they are going to face Bayern Munich and there is Tuchel coaching that team who is experienced in the champions league hiring Tuchle was a wise move for Bayern Mucnich to play against Manchester City with better shape than before. However, this can be very hard to predict for anyone.

Guardiola is a loser in terms of his results in the Champions League - only with the golden generation of Spain he was able to win it. After that, he failed with Bayern one of the strongest in the history (Jup Heykens) and then every year with City on an endless budget.
The fact that they got to Bayern is not surprising - the closer to the final, the higher the likelihood of such meetings and if you want the title, then you must be able to beat such teams.
Personally, I will evaluate the correctness of the decisions of the Bavarian management precisely by this result - if they beat City then OK, I will be happy and satisfied as the second money bag (first is P$G) will be knocked out of the tournament again.

It's indeed a daunting task and it would only take a miracle for Chelsea to play in europe next season.

Don't worry too much because Frank Lampard will only manage Chelsea temporarily until this season ends, Chelsea does not provide long-term guarantees for Lampard and his current job is only to replace Graham Potter. Chelsea are still considering several coaches for next year, names such as Luis Enrique, Nagelsmann and Mauricio Pochettino are widely reported to be in negotiations.

The arrival of a new coach will be a big motivation for the club to rise in the remaining matches, Chelsea have great players and their quality is also almost the same as Arsenal, United or Newcastle, so it only takes a touch from Frank Lampard to make them more confident in the remaining matches ahead, we just wait what Frank Lampard can do for Chelsea.

Amadou Onana is a defensive player in Everton who had a good performance recently and that's why the price for this player increased recently also he is a young player and he can be a good investment for any team hiring this player even for other seasons. But I think Chelsea they won't have more chance than Arsenal for hiring this player mostly because Chslea doesn't have stability and they won't be in the champions league.
