⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[cytpoway121]

Brazil has officially announced that Carlo Ancelotti, the current Real Madrid manager, is going to take charge of Brazil from June 24, 2024. Carlo Ancelotti joins Brazil after a long wait Brazil have finally managed to sign Carlo Ancelotti. Brazil have been without a regular manager for a long time and we have seen the effect in the last few friendlies. Carlo Ancelotti is still almost a year away from taking charge of Brazil. I hope that Carlo Ancelotti will be able to bring the Brazilian team back to its former state after taking charge of Brazil.

This is a very brilliant news, not just for the Brazilian national team; but also for Real Madrid fans and lovers; its been long over due for Carlo to quit Real Madrid after an inconsistent season. Glad that theres a mutual consent and agreement in place to that effect. Now Real Madrid players can start working on giving Carlo  the best send off gift in the coming season.

With Carlo Ancelotti experience over the years; Brazilians will hope that he can do an excellent job ahead of the worldcup in 2026

Ziyech is likely to stay even longer in chelsea. It's caused by it has been rumored if he has not passed medical test by al nassr while there are so many people have been talking this. Even ziyech has been also posting on his instagram regarding this.
There was also a rumor if ziyech was not moving to the al nassr caused by the club has decreased its salary before contract signed by him. The medical test news is likely a fake news.
Ziyech does not agree in joining with al nassr caused by he will receive less from what already promised by al nassr.

that's very sad to hear that from ziyech.

From the news that I read about Ziyech, he was not signed by Al Nassr because he failed to undergo a medical test because there were some problems in Ziyech's knee which made Al Nassr send him back to Chelsea.
This is clearly a loss again after the previous season also he failed to PSG now he failed to Al Nassr but according to some other rumors, there are currently Roma who are ready to make an offer to this player.
Roma did want to bring Ziyech to Serie A several times but always failed, it seems that Chelsea's desire to release Ziyech at this time will benefit Roma if indeed the rumors said are true but there is still no further news about this.

When talking about Pochettino with PSG before, the expectation from PSG was the Champions League so when they failed even in the last 16 phase because they lost to Madrid it could be said to be a failure so naturally he was also aware of the consequences at PSG.
But now it might be a little different, although surely Todd's target also wants Chelsea's condition to be much better and hopes to be in the Champions League again but of course Chelsea are also aware of their current condition so I think the initial target does not have to be so superior, enough with them being in a better position than this season I think it's very good for Chelsea.

Yes, his major focus will be to first get Chelsea back to what they were known for, that is a team that rarely loose games and have a very good fighting spirit. His first task will be to compete for the premier league title and if that is not possible, the least mark he should make should be to finish in first four and qualify for the champions league of the upper season. As an experienced manager, he should be able to do that in his first season just like the Manchester united manager has done in his first season for Manchester United.

I think exactly what Manchester United have done is Chelsea's goal. Winning the league after something like that is very difficult. I mean, building a team to be competitive with teams like Manchester City in a few months is incredibly difficult. All in all it's too early to talk about that at all, it will all become clear when the new season starts

[coinlocket$]

Not it is official, Di Maria is back as a free agent to Benfica, he will stay there for 1 year in preparation for the American cup and then he leave Europe.

[Alpha Marine]

Still i wonder if he dosent win the champions league will he get sacked in the first season like coaches before him.

This is the big question, both Mauricio Pochettino and Christophe Galtier were sacked after one season in charge, despite both of them winning the Ligue 1, but failing to win the CL. Well i don't think Luis Enrique will be sacked after one season if he does not win the CL, they will want to rebuild their team with Enrique in charge. Neymar and Mbappe could well join Messi and Sergio Ramos as part of the stars to leave the club this summer, so the club wouldn't expect Enrique to bring quick success to the team, he would have to take his time to find the best players for psg and that will take more than a season for that happen.

I don't think the managers that were sacked at PSG were sacked mainly because they got knocked out of the champions league. The champions league was a reason but it was not the only factor the decision to let the coaches go was based.
on.
The way the PSG team play is a factor. PSG didn't play good football under Pochettino and Galtier. They were struggling. When you have a team that plays well and competes with the top teams when they meet in the champions league, the manager won't be sacked even if he got knocked out by the other team.
Take Pep Guardiola for example, he always got knocked out of the champions league for about seven years or so, but the club never thought of sacking him even though the Champions League is what they really needed. They had trust in him because he has shown what he is.
If the previous managers showed that they could lead the project they wouldn't have been fired, instead they would have been have been backed by the club.

Nobody expects a coach to come to a team and do magic. The coach has to show that he's worthy to be trusted before he can be trusted to be there for a long time.

Actually, there is information that Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have already agreed on a deal under the scheme of 224 + 56 million euros. This is certainly not the 300 million that PSG initially seemed to have requested, but it seems to me that the club should be quite satisfied. In theory, Mbappe, on the contrary, might want to stay at PSG for another year to get his loyalty bonus of 90 million euros, but still, it seems that the presentation of the player on July 5 or 6 should take place soon.

Where do you get this information? Which club should feel satisfied with the price?
I still don't read any article about Real Madrid and PSG got a deal about Mbappe's transfer fees. But if it is 224 + 56 million euros, it means around 280 million euros. It is almost 300 million euros, PSG should be satisfied that Mabppe's price is still quite expensive. PSG can sign some top players with that amount of money.

Instead of earning 90 million euros, I am sure Mbappe won't miss the chance to move to Real Madrid when has the opportunity in this transfer season. Mabppe is a rich player already, he shouldn't focus on money more than focusing on the chance to get titles and has a better career in Real Madrid. This may not come again in the future, how if Real Madrid is no longer interested in him in the next year. Mbappe can drop his performance with PSG or Real Madrid gets another striker to be their main target. It is not impossible if Real Madrid changes their mind.

Another good news for Barcelona they signed Inigo Martinez for free.
https://theathletic.com/4664977/2023/07/05/barcelona-transfer-news-inigo-martinez/
Contract until 2025. Martinez is 32 years old and his 3-year contract means that Barcelona believes in the player's potential to play another 3 years at the highest level.
Also, Barcelona, as usual, put a huge amount of 400 million euros for the player, to block a possible transfer in the future.
Reliable and experienced defender will not hurt the team, the fact that last year Athletic Bilbao wanted 50 million euros for the player, but Barcelona preferred to wait and get the player for free. 

Barcelona have been lucky with transfers, they have recorded many successful deals with free players. Last summer they signed players for free and it certainly helped them cope with the financial restrictions, they were able to improve their squad and team performance. This window they are repeating the same strategy with signing Ingo Martinez on a free transfer, he has a wide range of experience and will no doubt bring improvement to their defense.

Barcelona are not really doing good with the way they are running these transfers in my own perspective... They are more like operating like the saudi's who are targeting free players and players surplus to requirements in there various teams!!! and this has been successful for them because of the status and reputation they have or once had but the true fact remains that for Barcelona to record utmost success in both the league and the Ucl in the next years, then they have to make moves for exceptional and young talents in the market like they have been known for before this era!!!

Mount himself didn't seem to hide the fact that he wanted to leave because of Chelsea's failure this season. He's a good player, but it's hard to see that in Chelsea. The whole team played horribly under Potter and then horribly under Lampard. It was no longer a question of a winning spirit, it was just a matter of staying in the Premier League and not getting relegated. So it is logical that Mount did not want to re-sign with Chelsea and decided to move to a club with championship ambitions, Manchester United.

I was quite surprised by the number Mason Mount was jersey. He's a young player, he has good ability but still under Ronaldo before he went to Real Madrid. Of course Ten Hag has a reason why Mount was given that number, but no news has been circulated yet. Hopefully he is able to give his best game and does not fail to develop like the previous players who wore number 7. If I'm not mistaken, Man United spent 55 million pounds with a bonus of 5 million pounds if Mount can succeed in winning the EPL and UCL.

Carlo Ancelotti joins Brazil after a long wait Brazil have finally managed to sign Carlo Ancelotti.

I hope that Carlo Ancelotti will be able to bring the Brazilian team back to its former state after taking charge of Brazil.

I hope so too because since the time of Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and the rest of them, Brazil national team have struggled to keep their name at the top of rankings despite enjoying a good reign during the old era. I really Ancelotti is the man to bring transformation and a change to their recent records. The fact that he is already acquainted to some of the Brazilian players makes it easier to understand and work with the team and he does not need too long time to know the players.

Brazil will pick up this time because I don't understand why they don't go far, they ended in Quater final the world cup despite having good stars of players. They have Neymar, they have Rodrigo among them, they also have Vinicious and many other good players. I think Brazil is a country where football stars have emerge from and with this resources they should have done better than this, Anceloti wouldn't have time having headache to adapt with the new players because I think about 3 Real Madrid players are among the main squad he will be using. It's so sad that his contract club contract is terminating and moving to a national team but considering his age, it's not a bad step, I believe the pay was good that's why he took it.

I read that Mbappe's departure will not be free. He gave this statement to the club, so Mbappe must immediately sign a contract extension if he does not leave this season. So it seems that this rumor is only a release clause. PSG still continue to hope he signs a new contract perhaps with a new clause and he will not leave for free. If it is indeed agreed later, it will be a new record. I agree with you, PSG can build a team with new players even though the risk of a decline in the quality of the game can occur.

Mount last season with Chelsea was not so good. in fact he only made 3 goals in one season in the Premier League. We know Chelsea last season was in poor form, but we don't know how he will develop at MU.

Chelsea was in a bad form last season and it affected the mentality of all the players in the team, bot the players who have been in the team and seen better seasons and the players who were brought to the club last season. The players who have seen better seasons with the club like Mason Mount, Hazertz struggled all season, and the new players who joined struggled to play well in this environment that had no winning mentality. We will see players like Havertz and Mount play better again at the levels which we know they can perform in this new clubs that they have moved to.

Both players didn't meet our expectations, the potential is there but they would be better somewhere else, they are both in their early peak and might do well or even worse but that's left for Arsenal and Manutd fans to worry about now, I've seen a lot from both players and I'm not expecting anything more from them at their clubs.  Both of them contributed to some of our problems last season, and I'm delighted they're gone; they were not the type of players we want; Kai is sluggish, and Mount was injured for the duration of the season and was nothing near his best.

This means that coach Carlo Ancelotti will not renew his contract in Madrid when it expires next year. He is a great coach that has won almost all the prestigious tournaments in Europe. Real Madrid will miss one of the best coaches in the world. The Brazilian national team will be waiting for him until his contract expires next year. But for the main time, Fernando Diniz who is the current coach of Fluminense will be in charge of the Brazilian national team until Ancelotti joins the team next year. I think that the focus of the 64-year-old Italian is to win the world cup with a national team. The Brazilian national team has not been competitive for a long time now. Maybe Ancelotti will be able to utilize the quality players Brazil has and bring the team back to its winning ways.

I hope that Carlo Ancelotti will be able to bring the Brazilian team back to its former state after taking charge of Brazil.

I can't exactly remember whether Ancelotti said that Real Madrid will be his last club or his last team in general that he will be coaching. But he possibly said the last club and now finishes his career as a national coach for Brazil. I think that is a great decision and he is definitely a person or a character who could solve some of the problems that the Brazilian team recently had. He could turn al these individualists into a unit again and they will certainly be a potential contender for the title if he achieves that.

I hope so, Brazil is never short of quality players, every season a new quality young player is born. But the problem they face these days is that the players can't work together as a team which means they focus more on individual skills which in turn makes their abilities unable to come out to the fullest.
For me personally, individual skills are an advantage because the game of football focuses on team play. If they can implement team play very well coupled with their individual skills, then it will be an amazing result.

I would like to take an example from Germany a few years ago, when they won the World Cup. Their teamwork was very good and it was supported by their individual skills that made them look perfect. In the German national team I rarely see players who really stand out, because they really put teamwork above individual skills.

Yes but will power is needed as well. The Brazilian team has beyond doubt some of the best individual players out there, but their collective commitment is bad. A good counter example is Croatia. When you compare that team one by one with Brazil, I would say that on a purely individual basis Brazil would have the "better" team, but Croatia is a real unit, they gain additional strength from their collective action and their dedication to help each other out during the game. When Neymar loses the ball while attacking, you barely see him running the extra mile and help the defense as well.

Immediately I got the update, I told the person beside me that, Carlos Ancellotti will win the FIFA World Cup with Brazilian National Team.
He already has a good relationship with some of the players from the brazilian national squad. Players like Vini, Rodry Goes and former Real Madrid midfielder, Casemiro who is currently a player of Manchester United.

He be available for them during the next Copa America that'll will be held next year. My Prediction is also for Brazil to win the next FIFA World Cup. Ancellotti knows how to manage players. He'll deliver as expected.

Number 7 is always synonymous with a sacred number, but Mason Mount has earned the trust of that number so he must be able to prove a better game with Manchester United, about the ability maybe it will be affected in the hands of Erik Ten Hag as a regulator of his strategy but I think Mason Mount will feel at home at Manchester United because he is given the best number in the team now.

I think the price of 55 million is still quite ideal for Mason Mount because it is still young so with productivity still very long with Manchester United, hoping he can achieve what he wants with this new team, maybe this will be better than Chelsea as his performance.

Personally I think Mount would thrive anywhere he plays.. Kai though might need certain environments and attention for us to see him at one of the best forms!!! But time will tell anyways!!

[nelson4lov]

I think this should be decided soon, as Neymar's relations with PSG are in turmoil and his continuity in Paris seems increasingly uncertain.

~Snipped .

I dont think Neymar should leave Psg anytime soon!!! With Mbappe's transfer now imminent, the No 1 competition neymar has in Psg can be gone!!! and all he has to do is maintain fitness and be the top boy again!! Which is what he has always wanted in his career!!

You made a valid point considering Mbappe has taken a lot of Neymar's shine during their time together as teammates but then, even if he stays back, it wouldn't change the fact that PSG fans dislikes him. Also, he has given this PSG team around 6 years of his time and I personally think it's time for him to set sights on a mew challenge. He has only a few years he can give to football so he should do so in a club where he would be welcomed and loved by the fan.

Like I said before, It is hard to thrive in an environment that is heavily impacted. I watched a Neymar documentary a year ago and he mentioned PSG fans dislike for him and how it affects his mental health

[harapan]

It is not a matter of having too many super stars in a team. Atleast PSG is a case study that names doesn't win champions league. They had Cavani who could not do it alone and they added Neymar and both could not bring the trophy for them.
They added the young talent, Mbappe and he could not do it together with the Brazilian samba boy.
Atleast the world best player was added to them and yet nothing happened.

This is something PSG dont understand. You need a balanced squad to win the champions league. Its not having many superstars in the attacking positions alone. The defense and midfield positions have to be solid as well. You don't have to have the best players in the world before you win prestigious trophies. Just have a solid squad that covers all areas of the pitch. If you look at PSG only their attack was solid, their midfield have always been whack. Veratti is the only world class midfielder they've had in a long time.

What you need to win the Champions League is a very good defence and good forwarders and that's it.

The midfield too.
I believe the midfield is the most important part of a team. No matter how good your team if, if you have a bad midfield the team will suffer. Defending starts from the midfield and attacking starts from the midfield. Every strong team always have a strong midfield.

[Velvet78]

Of there is no need to have the best squad among European teams to become champions in the Champions League for example. There is a great example in the 2020/2021 season as Chelsea made it to the title just like that. Having a solid manager always helps you get ahead of others. But it is still very important to have a reliable lineup as much as possible.

After a good relationship between a solid manager and a squad full of skilled players there is no reason not to be very competitive for the Champions League title. PSG have brought a winner manager in the Champions League like Luis Enrique. Maybe the only team he did this with were Barcelona. But maybe he can do the same with PSG as well.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

But now it might be a little different, although surely Todd's target also wants Chelsea's condition to be much better and hopes to be in the Champions League again but of course Chelsea are also aware of their current condition so I think the initial target does not have to be so superior, enough with them being in a better position than this season I think it's very good for Chelsea.

Chelsea expectations aren't low, Chelsea still wants to fight for the premier league trophy and a position in champions league football. The new owners of the club aren't settling down for less. They aren't offloading the amount of players that they're doing to generate revenue to renew the team just to settle for less. The pressure isn't on Pochettino but he shouldn't think he'll give us a poor performance and expect the fans to back him when the backlashes starts coming. Pochettino needs to bring Chelsea back into the premier league competition as soon as the season starts. He isn't playing any other important competition so why can't he win the title with Chelsea.

Antonio Conte won the title for Chelsea in the same condition (without any European football) so Pochettino has no excuse. He has all the funding and backing of the club to spend money on those he wants to work with so he should do that and deliver success to Chelsea because we really need it because of all the emotional disgrace we went through last season. We need a reason to smile against and if Pochettino can't give us that then he need to be replaced with someone that can give us instant results. Chelsea doesn't build, we get instant results and that's what Pochettino needs to understand.
