⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Leviathan.007]

manchester united and fc liverpool have reportedly overtaken arsenal london in the race for brighton's argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. who will win the race for the world champion and how much the transfer fee will be remains exciting

That's very interesting for me when I see that usually there are only English teams that target valuable players and they can spend lots of money for these plays while you are talking about Alexis Mac Allister. According to BBC new Arsenal was also seeking to find a way to hire this player but they couldn't get anything and now Manchester United and Liverpool are both trying for Alexis Mac Allister.

Todd Boehly is receiving a lot of backlash from the fans and I just wonder who Chelsea will have to settle for to take charge in managerial role at the end of the season since Frank Lampard who was deem to help take the team up the league with the few games left to play has failed to make an impact or change the current situation, he has already lost three in their past three games which is even worse than it was with Graham Potter.

It's been a disaster, let's be honest. Todd Boehly has made Chelsea significantly worse since taking over from Roman Abramovich. The club was already stable. He de-stabilised it. He bought some more players, and fired Tuchel 6 days after the transfer window closed. Honestly this is unheard of in world football. Just because you spend big money on players doesn't mean they are going to turn out to be good. So many flops. He's made a mess of it, should never of sacked so many of the people behind the scenes so quick. Now Chelsea have to find form and collect enough points in their remaining games so they don’t fall into the red zone.

IMO, Todd Boehly thought he understood football. let's flashback, every player the big clubs are after. Todd Boehly always appears in the hunt for these players. unmitigated, he dared to pay a high price for a player who might not be able to play well with his new team. one example, Mudry, one of the players who failed at a very fantastic price.
IMO, the only purchase that can be called a success is Enzo Fernandez, even if the price is too crazy. for the purchase of other players, underperform. except, Felix because he is a loan player. but its performance, quite good when compared to other players.

Well, what I think is the fatal part is the technical director or whatever the name is, it could also be easier to understand we call Chelsea management. I don't understand whether Chelsea's technical director doesn't understand football either, I think one of those who played a role in making Chelsea the situation it is today. for Potter, it wasn't really his fault. Potter arrived at a time when Chelsea's situation was no better. he was appointed to occupy the coaching hot seat, unfortunately, he did not have experience managing a team as big as Chelsea. Well, currently there are two candidates who are predicted to become Chelsea coaches. for me, both Nagelsmann and Enrique are equally good. however, if what is demanded is experience. Obviously, Luis Enriqae is more deserving of the Chelsea coaching hot seat.

i think the players are not the issue, but Toddy Boehly buying players he thinks is best for the club for market and sponsorship sake. toddy boehly is a bussiness man not a football lover, this is the first time he is involving in sport business he doesnt understand the do and don't of football. Chelsea will suffer more . under his leadership , i think he has to let expert to manage the club for him then he should watch from behind, if he involve actively in the day to day activities of the club things will continue to fall apart. he has spent so much for the club. he should hire an experienced coach to manage these talented players. chelsea will bounce back again next season they have the players but they lack good coach to bring out their potentials.

The problem with Chelsea's downfall this season isn't because they don't have quality players but because the new Chelsea owner assembled quality players that doesn't suit with the footballing style of the club. If Julian Nagelsmann finally grabs the job of managing the team at the end of the season, he might still not to play some of the "quality" players in his team not because they're not good but because they won't fit in in is own style of play.

[bitgolden]

This is Eddie Howie plan for next season that he want Newcastle filled with world class players more than now and that's why he was targetting these players for this summer especially if Newcastle can able to managed their performance until end of this season and playing at champion league i am sure they will be required more players into their squad

Maddison is their previous target because last summer Newcastle has been bid this player 50 millions and Leicester has been refused that offers and Maddison stayed at Leicester but the current situation will be different because reported Maddison has refuse contract extension which is offering by Leicester so this summer he more likely will leave Leicester especially if Leicester to be relegated i am sure he doesn't want to playing at championship division

And for Ivan Toney he actually Newcastle former player but indeed since joining with Brentford Toney has reach to his top performance with scores 18 goals in premier league until week 31 but the speculation about his future still uncertain and probably Bentfrod won't let him easily to leave and Declan Rice could be Newcastle the most expensive recruitment this summer because his price not less than 100 millions but it's hard to gets him because he is into radar to several big teams

I think Neymar should be the start, I am not saying that it would be cheap to get him, but if they can get Neymar, thats not him that you are getting, you are getting a player that can open the doors for other players. Any other player that sees him playing like that in Newcastle would want to join as well and I think that's going to be the case for most players they will get after him.

If you get him, then you can offer money to any player and as long as you pay the right amount, they will come. Today that's not so much, you can pay whatever you want and some players will say they want to play in a bigger club, but if they see Neymar then money would be the only thing they will discuss with the team and they will want to join.

[yayayo]

What would be the goal for Neymar? I have the impression that he has faded into the background a bit in recent years due to unremarkable results. And Messi and especially Mbappe are just better at the moment. And in the case of Mbappe it will remain so. You also get that when you play in a team with only stars, then you really have to play exceptionally well to stand out. Perhaps a possible return of Mesi and Neymar to Barcelona together? I would also like to see Mbappe in the Barcelona shirt. Only the chance is greater that he will ever wear a Real Madrid shirt. Especially because Zidane also has a lot of contact with him and has played for Real for years.

ya.ya.yo!

i think the players are not the issue, but Toddy Boehly buying players he thinks is best for the club for market and sponsorship sake. toddy boehly is a bussiness man not a football lover, this is the first time he is involving in sport business he doesnt understand the do and don't of football. Chelsea will suffer more . under his leadership , i think he has to let expert to manage the club for him then he should watch from behind, if he involve actively in the day to day activities of the club things will continue to fall apart. he has spent so much for the club. he should hire an experienced coach to manage these talented players. chelsea will bounce back again next season they have the players but they lack good coach to bring out their potentials.

The mistakes made by Chelsea cannot be attributed to Boely or the players. Prior to Tuchel's dismissal, he successfully used the same players to win many games and only lose a few. However, when Potter took over, he made some adjustments in the midfield which proved to be a great move. The new players that were introduced were all highly qualified, but the pressure was intense as they were losing EPL match back to back and UCL was on the doubting shape, and the fans were expecting immediate results.

In my opinion, the club should have allowed Potter to continue his job until the end of the season. Instead, they sacked him and brought in Lampard, which resulted in a worse losing streak. It is important for Chelsea to find a replacement and give them sufficient time to make improvements.

The main thing for Chelsea now is not to lose, so they can stay in 11th place. That they can go higher is doubtful, in which case they need good wins, which it seems they are not ready for yet. I'm sure Lampard will be out next season, he won't get a second chance, I thought so initially for some reason, but what we're seeing is defeats under him

[harapan]

Rumors spread that Vincent Kompany is on the list wanted by Chelsea to be the next manager at this club besides names that have already been linked with Chelsea such as the former Bayern Munich coach and former Tottenham Hotspurs coach Pochettino. It seems that Boehly was impressed with Kompany after what he did for Burnley who will return to playing in the English Premier League next season, but it is possible that Kompany will not be interested in Chelsea because even though Chelsea already have a lot of good player material, uniting them into a strong team will be more difficult.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22061762/chelsea-vincent-kompany-burnley-new-manager/

I don't think Boehly has learnt Andy lesson from his time at Chelsea. As a club, Chelsea shouldn't even be looking at the likes of Pochettino and Kompany. Kompany has done well with Burnley, but so did Potter with Brighton. Pochettino is a manager that has not really achieved anything significant in football. He was good at Tottenham but couldn't give them any trophy. He got to PSG and his team was awful. Why will Chelsea be looking for a manager with such a bad CV?
At this point Chelsea should be looking for a manager that can bring results by winning trophies or a manager that can rebuild a team and play good football even  if they don't win trophies next season and neither Kompany nor Pochettino is any of those.

I just watched an interview with Thiago Silva that was made after their loss against Real Madrid yesterday in the Champions League. In that interview he said that the current direction and strategy of FC Chelsea to just keep on buying new player is completely wrong and that they are now having 30+ players in the squad and therefore a lot of players are very unhappy with their current role in the team. I totally agree with his statement and with his opinion. I think that everyone should know by now that just buying good and expensive players will not guarantee success. This is also pretty obvious if you look at Paris Saint Germain and what they have spent for players without winning the Champions League even once.

Kompany is still one of the nicest coaches at the moment but when in the end Chelsea do pick him it's clear it will be as much of a gamble coming back as they brought in Potter because of course apart from quality experience is very important in terms of coaching so it will be very different then especially for Kompany there will be a big question when this happens, is he really capable of taking that big pressure?

I still quite agree when they talk about Enrique or Nagelsmann even though in this case they also failed at previous clubs but their experience of coaching big teams can at least be a consideration.

[emrecemsan]

It looks like there is a possibility for Jose Mourinho to become PSG's next manager in the summer. It is a speculation for now of course but I wouldn't be surprised if it happens as well. Galtier is most likely to get sacked by the end of the season before anything else. This would be the right thing to do for PSG as well of course. Because it must be obvious that he doesn't have a good chemistry with this team. This led them to be eliminated in the Champions League quite early at the same time.

In addition to that I've been hearing about news like Galtier might get prison sentence due to using bad language to the Muslim players in the squad. This can even affect his general career really badly. We would find out the result about this situation soon I guess.

[bekti3]

Potter was superb at Brighton but he came to Chelsea and became ass.

Potter is a good coach, no doubt about that, but he is also an average coach and the success that Brighton recorded while he was still there was not just because he was a good coach, it was also because the players in the club a very good and technically sound that is why even after he left them they did not start losing games but currently in the Premier League I still in a very good position. Chelsea needs an experienced coach that is not average.

Brighton performance while Potter was still in charge was completely unexpected, they managed to make a surprise because they were among the elite clubs in the top four. I think Potter made a mistake when he accepted the proposal from Chelsea, he left an in-form Brighton to become coach of a bigger team.

At Chelsea he was not able to do much, Potter was only able to win seven wins from 22 premier league matches during his seven months as coach, he was finally fired because he failed to boost Chelsea performance. Chelsea was too hasty to make a decision, they should look for a competent coach to improve the quality of the team.

He was a pretty good coach at the time and of course Brighton could be in trouble for a few seasons because of the advice he gave. But indeed his move to Chelsea was too hasty which actually made his career a little messy now. His current state of affairs for Potter he looks like he will have to start over from scratch to earn his trust again because of course with him crumbling at Chelsea now who is going to be interested in the state he is in coaching.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Some people are saying that Chelsea don't need to be in a hurry to choose their manager but I think they had better act faster than this. Because they are still a part of the Champions League now despite their condition in the Premier League. Real Madrid are a very challenging opponent so Chelsea need a much better management immediately to be able to do something at least.

But we will see when they will make their decision. There is still one week to go for the first leg.

They are paying attention closely who's already in the market.

Everyone will surely wants zidane so do with chelsea , if they decide to wait for that monent where zidane announce that he is back to manage a club then it's something that require a lot of patient which chelsea never really has it. I wish zidane make a comeback but yeah nobody knows what zidane wanted.

Zidane is a very demanding person, and surely if he chooses to be at Chelsea he will have many demands to bring players for him to feel comfortable, as well as he will have a list where he does not want to have certain players, he is like that, however I firmly believe that Zidane is the best technical director that Chelsea could have and it would be a great achievement if they manage to take him, but I don't think so, here as I see Chelsea it is difficult for them to leave Potter, but as things are going the most logical thing is that, without However, those who have the last word are the owners of the team, speculation is always good, but we don't know what they have.

Brahim Diaz is reportedly become Arsenal target in the transfer market next summer. On the other hand, Pioli made a statement that he wanted to keep Diaz if possible. Diaz may not be able to return to Madrid because it will make him lose his place to become a main player there, at Milan he has this opportunity, but his status is still unclear with Milan because there is no offer of a contract extension for Diaz after he was on loan for 3 seasons so far.

If i am not mistaken this summer his loan contract will be ended but Milan want to hold and permanent him because during this 3 years he has giving good contribution for Milan and actually Madrid were don't mind to release him even the latest news is Madrid already provide price tag for him approximately 25 millions but with the current financial of Milan i think it's very difficult to buy him but luckly Brahim Diaz has confirmed to considering the offers from Milan as his high priority because apparently he felt to comfortable to playing at this team

But i think Milan should be immediately to permanently him because if Milan doesn't looks too serious for this transfer then i am sure Arsenal or other teams possibly can hijack Diaz especially with his quality Diaz has cheap price

Currently there are some rumors that Madrid also want to make a deal with Jude who is being targeted at the moment.
Madrid plans to include Diaz in the clause so that Dortmund are interested in giving Jude to Madrid.
This is actually clearly going to be detrimental to Milan if something like this happens and it's like it or not if Milan want this player then they have to be prepared to pour out some money so that Madrid's plans don't happen.

It is very interesting, until now I did not know that Real Madrid wanted or was interested in the fact that they could be looking for Jude, I do not know what they want to do with the player, but I really do not see that movement very clearly, Ancelotti has not spoken until now to do something about it and certainly what is most wanted here is for Madrid to win the UCL, and they are on a very good path, as far as I am concerned I would like the final between Real Madrid and Milan AC, but this is something that is not yet known, but it would be something great. and Ancelotti also wants that final.

[slapper]

Newcastle already have some targets in their list now as it seems. In addition to Declan Rice they have other targets like James Maddison and Ivan Toney also.

It doesn't look like their job will be easy with signing Rice according to my thinking. Because he is monitored by Arsenal also. If they also make an offer to sign Rice then I think they would be one step ahead of Newcastle. I know Newcastle are richer than them now. But as long as they don't spend much more money I don't expect Rice to sign for Newcastle instead. As for Maddison he can also be targeted by some other big teams also. But maybe Newcastle would have the biggest chance for Toney.

This is Eddie Howie plan for next season that he want Newcastle filled with world class players more than now and that's why he was targetting these players for this summer especially if Newcastle can able to managed their performance until end of this season and playing at champion league i am sure they will be required more players into their squad

Maddison is their previous target because last summer Newcastle has been bid this player 50 millions and Leicester has been refused that offers and Maddison stayed at Leicester but the current situation will be different because reported Maddison has refuse contract extension which is offering by Leicester so this summer he more likely will leave Leicester especially if Leicester to be relegated i am sure he doesn't want to playing at championship division

And for Ivan Toney he actually Newcastle former player but indeed since joining with Brentford Toney has reach to his top performance with scores 18 goals in premier league until week 31 but the speculation about his future still uncertain and probably Bentfrod won't let him easily to leave and Declan Rice could be Newcastle the most expensive recruitment this summer because his price not less than 100 millions but it's hard to gets him because he is into radar to several big teams

For real, Eddie Howe's plan for next season is spot on. If Newcastle wants to make waves in the Premier League, they gotta have a crew filled with elite players. And when it comes to elite players, Neymar would be a game-changer for the team. I know it's gonna cost a pretty penny to snatch him up, but if they can afford it, why not go for it?

Plus, if Neymar does end up wearing the black and white, that's gonna draw in a ton of other players too. I mean, who wouldn't want to ball out with one of the top dogs in the game? And like you said, cash ain't an issue for these players if they see the chance to link up with Neymar.

But obviously, they can't just put all their eggs in the Neymar basket. They need a dope crew with cats like Maddison, Toney, and Rice. Those homies would be a huge get for the squad and could help Newcastle contend with the best of the best

[rendravolt]

In addition to that I've been hearing about news like Galtier might get prison sentence due to using bad language to the Muslim players in the squad. This can even affect his general career really badly. We would find out the result about this situation soon I guess.

Mourinho is a coach with experience in almost all the top European leagues and I think if the opportunity was there for Mourinho to take charge of PSG it would not be a bad thing, he would accept the offer. But before going any further, Mourinho is currently focused on Roma to secure a UCL slot next season and to play the European league competition, which is currently also active. It is possible that Mourinho's future will be determined next season and that is still quite a long time indeed if we want to speculate further.

[mv1986]

In this Youtube video it is shown that Laporta makes an interesting statement or a short answer to the question whether Messi comes back to Barcelona. Now the media is taking that little video piece and is speculating again, but who knows maybe there is some truth to Laporta's answer.

I believe that the probability is quite high that Messi will indeed go back. They still have time to set up some financial construct that would allow them to sign him. The hype Messi would bring back to Barcelona is also generating revenue and they could design some revenue participation model for Messi as a substitute for his high base salary requirements. When you think about the options he has, I believe that he wants to play champions league for at least two more years and he will stay in Europe. What makes me doubt is whether Barcelona is a strong enough team right now for Messi to think that they can compete with the best in the champions league.

The problem would then be that if they sign Messi and Messi calls for more high level players, then he himself would turn into Barcelona's bottleneck. Lewandowski could benefit from Messi if things go well.

Brighton performance while Potter was still in charge was completely unexpected, they managed to make a surprise because they were among the elite clubs in the top four. I think Potter made a mistake when he accepted the proposal from Chelsea, he left an in-form Brighton to become coach of a bigger team.

It was not a mistake because everyone would cherish moving from a mid table team to one of Europe top teams. This are challenges that everyone even football players cherish. We could just say it actually didn’t work out like he planned. It will be a big plus in his CV that he has managed Chelsea.

[izsara]

Currently there are some rumors that Madrid also want to make a deal with Jude who is being targeted at the moment.
Madrid plans to include Diaz in the clause so that Dortmund are interested in giving Jude to Madrid.
This is actually clearly going to be detrimental to Milan if something like this happens and it's like it or not if Milan want this player then they have to be prepared to pour out some money so that Madrid's plans don't happen.

Jude is Real Madrid target player, we already heard the rumors many times lately. However, I don't hear the issue that Real Madrid already send a proposal or an offer to sign him. Not only AC Milan, but Jude Bellingham is also targetted by many top clubs in the world, including top clubs from EPL. I believe Jude Bellingham won't be interested to join AC Milan. He seems to join top clubs in EPL or La Liga. Real Madrid should be the favorite club for him, I am sure Jude wants to move to Real Madrid if Real Madrid is serious to give the offer to sign him. However, with his market value around €120, it can be a problem. I assume Dortmund won't let him go if no club wants to pay above €130.

Check: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11674311/Borussia-Dortmund-offer-130m-rated-Jude-Bellingham-SPECTACULAR-deal.html

I am not talking about offers but they are planning to include Diaz for their bid in the transfer later and this is definitely not profitable for Milan of course.
Obviously with the offer and having Diaz in it, it will be a little tempting, especially with Diaz's quite impressive performance at Milan, of course this will benefit Dortmund as well. Now it depends on how Dortmund do business.

[nurilham]

It is possible that Mourinho's future will be determined next season and that is still quite a long time indeed if we want to speculate further.

For now, surely Mourinho will focus on Roma remaining matches in Serie A. It is not the right time to consider staying or leaving Roma. Mourinho must win all the remaining matches to secure Roma in UCL zone. It won't be easy to secure top 4 in Serie A because the point gaps are too small. If Roma gets losses in some matches, they will be out of the UCL zone.

Kane to PSG, hmm. I don't know about this. I think Kane wouldn't like to join a league that isn't much competitive. I know that PSG aren't having a very comfortable season but it is totally due to the weak management of the team this season. Normally this is a league that PSG can dominate much higher than this. PSG can still offer the Champions League title for him but it wouldn't be very realistic for now either.

Because PSG still haven't won it for once and they don't seem like they will soon with this kind of game strategies. I think Kane will join a different team instead.

Yes, I am also not so sure that Kane will choose PSG if he has to leave Tottenham. I don't think Kane will develop there while Mbappe and Messi are still around (although their positions are different).

So for that it's better for Kane to join an English club. Manchester United seems to be the right port for him. Because the formation and style of play applied by Erik Ten Hag really suits Kane's style. With the support of a number of experienced players in the Red Devils squad, I'm sure he will shine again and of course he will experience various trophies, especially the EPL trophy.

[asriloni]

Kompany is still one of the nicest coaches at the moment but when in the end Chelsea do pick him it's clear it will be as much of a gamble coming back as they brought in Potter because of course apart from quality experience is very important in terms of coaching so it will be very different then especially for Kompany there will be a big question when this happens, is he really capable of taking that big pressure?

I still quite agree when they talk about Enrique or Nagelsmann even though in this case they also failed at previous clubs but their experience of coaching big teams can at least be a consideration.

It's big gambling by todd if he wanna sign him as a new coach for chelsea. It's pretty much the same as potter's case. Stupid todd. Why doesn't he hire a professional coach that has already proven managing the big club? It's quite strange to see that. I will never ever accept it. Todd must think about it a hundred times. Everything will be so bad after that. Todd can't even try to put kompany coaching the same level as a team in EPL. Burn was just playing in the championship. The competition looks even much more easier compared with EPL. It will be very wrong to think EPL was the same as championship. Chelsea needs a good coach which has a good track record. I will still prefer naglesmann, enrique or even the special one as a new coach for chelsea.
I do agree with last statement from you. What is needed by chelsea is a professional coach and it's not a new coach that was just luckily to have good performance with a championship club like burnley.
