⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Leviathan.007]

Rumors of Messi return to Barcelona have become even louder, reported by several media after the player was not willing to extend his contract with PSG. Messi is reportedly close to reaching an agreement with Barcelona, so far Barcelona has done everything possible to realize their dream of bringing Messi back to Camp Nou.

Barcelona has prepared a salary and contract duration for Messi. The presence of Messi in the Barcelona squad will further add to the banging power on the front lines. Even though he is 35 years old, he can still be relied upon on the front lines because apart from being good at scoring goals, he is also very active in contributing assists to his teammates.

Even though rumors of Messi's return to Barcelona are getting louder, Barcelona still have to improve their financial condition which is still unstable. Barcelona must immediately move quickly to improve financial conditions to realize Messi's return to Camp Nou.

Currently, the only news we hear about Messi is returning to Barcelona to maybe even move to Arabian teams to end his professional and mean more money just like Rinaldo but if he comes to Barcelona for another season I think Messi should play for free for his team so he has to give huge discount about his salary to Barcelona otherwise they won't be able to hire this player.

Even though rumors of Messi's return to Barcelona are getting louder, Barcelona still have to improve their financial condition which is still unstable. Barcelona must immediately move quickly to improve financial conditions to realize Messi's return to Camp Nou.

There needs to be something big for that to happen. because indeed the requirements of La Liga are actually quite simple if you look at the current conditions, that is, if Barcelona wants to bring back Messi, apart from them having to increase their income, their total cash which does have a gap of 200 million must be resolved first.
This is indeed possible if there are several important players like De Jong and Gavi whom they let go, but removing these 2 midfielders who actually have the potential only for Messi is the same as shortening their investment.

PSG has built a reputation of sacking any coach that fails to accomplish their greatest quest of winning the UEFA Champions League. The club is impatient and has failed to recognize that most clubs that achieved that feat had to stay with a coach for three seasons and above. The club needs a coach that will come to the club and perform miracles in just one season which might be impossible. Christophe Galtier is a good manager because he was able to manage some of the world's footballers and at least we have seen the cordial relationship between Mbappe and Messi.

there was a chance that Galtier would be fired. even with the best squad PSG can have, they still can't make it to the Champions League final. PSG are still very strong in Ligue 1, but they don't speak much in European competitions.
but maybe this season PSG will consider Galtier to stay for at least 1 season. bringing in a new coach with adjustments again, will not make PSG better either. PSG should at least be able to defend their team. but on the contrary, there are many rumors that PSG will make a change from the coaching chair to several names in their squad.

[rendravolt]

Messi's situation with PSG is increasingly making him feel uncomfortable with the Paris city club and indeed these rumors appear almost every day on social media. But I think the decision is still in Messi's hands whether he is willing to return to Barcelona or not, even though I also heard that Barcelona will look for additional costs to take care of Messi's salary every week.

On the other hand, if Barcelona are still constrained by financial matters, then their only way is to harm other Barcelona players by cutting wages to be given to Messi later. Of course, we have often seen this in the Barcelona chart and it seems that they don't care about the fate of other players.

Messi and PSG have been negotiating for quite a long time and so far have not found an answer. It was reported that the reason for the new contract negotiations that had not been completed was because of Messi's unusual request through an agent who was also his own father. Messi made a statement that he would stay if PSG gave him a raise and besides that the 35 year old also asked the club to keep Neymar. This request is still normal in my opinion, but there is one more unusual request made by Messi, namely Messi hopes he can rest more than his other colleagues.
So far there are rumors circulating that Barcelona has prepared a high salary of 200 million euros if Messi can return, this is beyond my expectations, how can a club that is experiencing financial problems be able to give such a high salary to pick up Messi. Do you have an opinion on this? I don't believe this is true.

The request for a salary increase is still at a reasonable stage, but if he asks to keep Neymar and asks for a longer rest period, then that is a very unreasonable request. We know he is a star player for more than a decade, but the demand is too much and I think it is very unreasonable. In my opinion, about Messi's salary at Barcelona, it is clear that it is nonsense from the media that exaggerates rumors of Messi's move to Barcelona and it is very clear that Barcelona will not be able to pay Messi's salary with that much money. I agree with you that I don't believe the rumours.

[sana54210]

As for Mason Mount, I still feel like he has unfinished business with the club. He won't be going anywhere.

Liverpool are reportedly one step away from getting this attacking midfielder, and it has been in negotiations for a long time after Mason Mount has not yet extended his contract at Chelsea because he wants the club to provide a higher salary than before, moreover Liverpool have said they will bring at least 2/3 of the players the middle of their squad for next season, especially with Chelsea's condition which is worse than Liverpool it is very likely that he will choose to leave to get more playing portions that he does not get at his current club.

I think experienced is the key word here. It depends on the type of experience as well, I rather have a coach who is 45 years old but been a manager for a club that played in UCL every season for  the past 10 years, than a coach who is 65 years old and managed a club for 40 years but never been to UCL.

The experience is different in this case, so they need someone who has experience in every field they will need, a long term minded coach, and for that to be a good case and be long term, they need one that is not too old. Nagelsmann was such a good offer, but aside from that I would say bringing back Mourinho could be alright, that is not as bad as people think is it? That should be something that could help with the team for sure.

[Furious 7]

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.

However, Kompany can still be said to be a coach in development, of course, still too far if he has to jump to a big club like Chelsea.
But this is still about speculation, it's just that even though this is speculation, of course this is disturbing

If in the end he really brings Poche or Kompany it seems that Todd still hasn't come out of his current ego because he still thinks the EPL is that simple and without long thoughts.

I think it's very appropriate that PSG sack Galtier. He is completely unsuited to train PSG, which has high standards. The target of winning the Champions League is absolute for the club from Paris. But for the PSG president, of course he has to be a little patient because it is not easy for a manager to be able to present this prestigious title in one season.

Apart from Galtier, who might be sacked, the PSG president must also evaluate the management. I see that every transfer window opens they always buy the wrong players, this can be one of the obstacles for PSG, which always fails in Europe.

In football Jose Mourinho is known to be a lover of new challenges and he loves to break dreadlocks of any club he's managing and his past records clearly states that he succeeds wherever he goes. Jose Mourinho is a UEFAChampions League winner and he's well experienced manager when it comes to the competition.
Paris Saint Germain has spent so much on players acquisition over the years in their search to lift club football's most prestigious trophy and since Zinedine Zidane isn't showing signs of signing for the club as their new manager, Jose Mourinho I think will be a perfect match to actualize the club's biggest dream

I wish Zinedine Zidane accepted a possible offer from PSG in the summer. But I don't give that much chance to happen as long as he continues to wait for a job offer from France national team instead. Didier Deschamps still has three more years on his contract with France right now. I don't know if France are thinking of parting ways with him either. There were some speculations about such thing to happen in the future but I didn't hear any update about this speculation later on.

I think Deschamps is doing good for now and France don't need a change. Maybe this situation can pave the way for PSG to sign Zidane for the job. But it depends on whether PSG act very fast about changing their current manager or not.

Yes, Mourinho would be a good option for this smug club (which is why I don't want him there). But he can also be hired for another purpose - for example, if the management wants to disperse the lazy stars, but at the same time wants to save face, then they can hire Mourinho to disperse them in a season, and then fire him too. If the club wants a real renewal, then this is not the worst option, although rather cynical.

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

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.

Yes, he has the right logic, and it's good that he realises it. 30 players... Does anyone else have that many? After all, it turns out that many players don't even get playing practice and just sit at this club getting paid, ruining their careers. A good idea would be to sell many players in the summer and build the team anew, why not? There is nothing to save this season.

[judas]

I think Nagelsmann would be one of the best choices for Chelsea among the available managers right now. He isn't a manager who has zero experience with a top team in Europe above all else. He has a good history with Bayern Munich despite the decision of the team to sack him recently. It must be due to their not being very comfortable in the Bundesliga this season but they were still the leader back then.

I think he would be a much better alternative to Potter for Chelsea. We were hearing about rumours related to Pochettino and Mourinho as well but I don't hear about them as much as Nagelsmann. Besides Mourinho's name is called with PSG on one hand. If PSG decide to make an offer I think PSG would be a more favourable choice for Mourinho. Because they are going to be a part of the Champions League for example.

Currently, the only news we hear about Messi is returning to Barcelona to maybe even move to Arabian teams to end his professional and mean more money just like Rinaldo but if he comes to Barcelona for another season I think Messi should play for free for his team so he has to give huge discount about his salary to Barcelona otherwise they won't be able to hire this player.

Barcelona was just preparaing the right formula for messi's salary. I heard that if barcelona was also preparing the same salary as lewandowski for him. That means if messi will be only getting 13 millions in a year. It's very small compared the last salary that received by messi when he was still in barcelona which was around 100millions in a year. The condition from the team has been forcing him to agree with it but messi has not decided yet whether he will be moving to the barcelona or not.

It's also an enormous loss for messi caused by he will be receiving less than what he expected. That means if messi's salary is more than70% less compared with when he was playing on PSG.
I don't even know whether la pulga will accept it or not, but to be honest he must think about his future. Money will help it to keep his life better until he will be old and can't play football anymore.

It will better for messi move to the al hilal. The same offer will not come twice.

Yes, according to the news currently circulating, Chelsea's target has been directed at Nagelsmann. I think that when compared to Pochettino, the former Bayern Munich coach really deserves to fill the "hot seat".

But Chelsea owners must be aware that the Premier League is very competitive. Anyone who will become a coach is certainly not an easy matter to immediately give the title immediately in his first season. However, if you look at the potential young squad currently owned by Chelsea, then Nagelsmann is very suitable to manage it. I hope the Chelsea owners sign Nagelsmann soon for a long term without considering anything else.

I really hope Messi won't come back to Barcelona. I'm afraid that he will experience the same mistake as Ronaldo (returning to Man United). It is better to move to Saudi Pro League, he will earn a big salary and he doesn't need to play in a very competitive league. If he returns to Barcelona, everyone must expect more from him. People must demand him to win UCL, Copa Del Rey, or La Liga title with Barcelona. It is something a too big goal for him at the current age, so it is too risky for him. Messi should play in a new club, not come back to Barcelona again.

I also hope so, after all, Barcelona is a team that is having a lot of problems, so if Messi returns to Barcelona, it will only increase the pressure on him personally

messi is a player who has high talent, so if he moves to the saudi arabia team, it will not make his performance decrease, especially since the competition in the arab league is quite tight, besides that, teams from arab are willing to pay Messi's salary very high

It would be preferable if he moved on to a new club rather than returning to his previous club.  During his time with the team, he won everything for himself and the team. He's one of the most devoted players to have ever played for a team and achieved fame.  If he returns there, I believe he would be expected to achieve more like before, but given his age, he will be unable to do so. In my opinion, it is preferable for him to join an Arabian team rather than returning to Barcelona.

[Velvet78]

Pochettino might also be a good option for Chelsea. I think they shouldn't act very fast about bringing Nagelsmann instead. He is also a really good manager of course and I don't have big doubts about him. However Pochettino is much more familiar with the English Premier League as he managed Tottenham for a long time. He wasn't managing the team badly as well.

Chelsea have a good potential with these players actually. They only need the right game plan and vision to start getting better than this. I hope their final decision helps them have a good season next time. This season has been a big failure for them.

Chelsea is still confused to think about what's gonna be his next team. I meant barcelona needs to work so hard to bring back messi again to the club. La liga president is also hoping messi back again to barcelona but the problem is it must be through difficult ways. It's caused by barcelona must have got 200 millions to fix its FFP problem. Barcelona was also offering messi with low salary at this moment. It's likely that messi will not even agree with it. The fact that if this time messi is not even known what's gonna be his future club.

Messi can only pray to the good if he will get a good club in summer. Laporta is working so hard to bring back messi caused by he can also increase the income from the club.

Barcelona has even consulted with laliga to know which amounts that could be spent to pay him when messi back again to the club.

World Cup winner Lionel Messi's contract runs out with PSG this summer; Barcelona are in talks with LaLiga regarding their spending limits for next season; the club were charged by the league for breaching their limit with three players during the 2021-22 season

Messi's future is uncertain, but he has no shortage of good proposals as Al Hilal, from Saudi Arabia, offered 400 million euros a year for the Argentine player. In fact, it is a grandiose appeal to try to seduce the Argentine player who is at the end of his contract with PSG. If I'm not mistaken, this offer is practically double the salary of Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr, or am I wrong?

But, I don't think Messi is going to decide yet, I think his preference is to stay in Europe and certainly other proposals will come, and even if they are smaller, maybe they will be more advantageous for Lionel Messi.
PSG itself wants to keep the Argentine player, but the financial crisis makes it impossible to pay Messi what he deserves.

Yes it is correct, they offered him 400 million Euros per year...

The salary is so insanely high that it's almost a pain to see anyone decline it, but the reasons for declining an offer from Saudi Arabia can be manyfold and in this case I think that the particular reason is that Messi still wants to go on the hunt and titles for goals in the European leagues and he perhaps is also thinking about playing one last World Cup. It is not impossible and he would certainly be in better shape if he keeps playing at the highest level possible until then.

I am curious what the outcome will be of his decision. A little bit of time will still need to pass until we get the ultimate answer that many soccer fans are looking forward to.
