⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Leviathan.007]

After Hansi Flick was fired as coach of the German national team, several coaching candidates emerged who were ready to replace him, but there was one name that was familiar, namely Julian Nagellsman. It is reported that Bayern Munich is open to letting him manage the German national team and the DFB is certainly happy with the options considering that Julian Nagellsman is a good coach. If I'm not mistaken, even though at the end of last season Julian Nagellsman had his contract terminated by Bayern Munich as coach, Bayern Munich still paid his salary so Bayern Munich was the key to the agreement between the German national team and Julian Nagellsman. Apart from that, I am very sure that if the German national team is handled by a coach who has a very clear vision like Julian Nagellsman, of course they will immediately recover from their downturn.

I don't even think if he will suit to the german national team. I meant he was good, but naglesmann lack of experience in coaching the top club. Coaching national team is ever harder compared to the club and he has no experience in doing it.
He has been sacked by bayern and replaced by tuchel. I would prefer to wait for another name rather than him.

Here's the list of potential names to be new appointment for german national club.

- Van gaal
- Oliver Glasner
- Matthias sammer
- Ralf rangnick
- Xabi alonso

I would prefer to take van gaal. German needs to find the one who suit to the national club as soon as possible.

 
I can add Felix Magath to the list he is also an experienced coach and he can coach the Germans, however, they had good performance even with Rudi Völler but it seems he doesn't want to be the next manager of this team.
I guess Germans should not act in fact but they have to act wisely because the person who starts working there as a coach can even coach Germany in the next World Cup if he has a long-term plan for the team.

I would prefer to take van gaal. German needs to find the one who suit to the national club as soon as possible.

I would not want to see Xabi Alonso distracted, he is headed for a nice direction with Leverkusen. He will fit in for the role of the Spanish coach not German Coach.
Van gaal has experience he is the most experienced on this list but he has not achieved trophies at the national level  Ragnick has said he remains with Australia and he goes nowhere.
Nagelsmann will do better, he is familiar with the player's and will excel. He should ne given a chance.

If there's one thing I have come to observe about the German side is that they like their coaches to be much younger so he can stay with the team longer.
Its been forth coming on the sack of the German coach following their performance so far.
If Alonso signs a deal and goes with this national side, it would be because he wants to be more settled and hope to one day coach the Spanish side, else, he is still young and can manage the pressure of handling a club side like Leverkusen.
Van Gaal is an old timer in this area of experience, but I doubt he would stay more than the world cup in U.S/Canada/mexico, that's if he gets the job.

Younger Coaches? How old was Joachim Low then when he was handed the job for Germany.
Low lasted a very long while with the German side won trophies also with the side. He  was friendly with the side and wanted to see them winning. I gave it some thinking and Alonso will achieve lots but he should be given some time to build his side. With the Dutch side he was the best coach for me that Fifa Competition. For long term service German federation should look out for a younger tactical coach.
Since 2014 they have been horrible.

Selling young player is short solution for Barcelona financial because they have much debt indeed with Camp Nou renovation make difficult with financial condition. I think have efficiency with Barcelona financial be better in the future how to manage well with their young talent and promote them to senior level. Barcelona not required for spending much money for fees transfer and they can balance well between how to recovering with their debt and keep in the top performance with young player.

I slightly disagree if Barcelona sells young players just to improve its finances and I really understand Barcelona current financial situation but it would be better if the management had to think more logically about covering debts by selling players but the team performance would be bad. on the one hand, Yamal current contribution is very good, he has always appeared consistent since he was first promoted to join the senior players and for me, rather than selling this young player, I would be more in favor of selling the old players.
Now we think about investing in players like Yamal who are still very young, who have advantages in the long term, but old players who are getting older will experience a decline in performance and this will affect the quality of Barcelona performance. Barcelona management must be really wise in making decisions.

Barcelona must balance their financial strength so there is no other reason than to sell several players in this season's transfer window such as Dembele, Franck Kessie so as to give them an additional injection of money to stabilize their finances. Apart from that, I think Barcelona is also doing this to avoid getting caught in the FFP case. But Barcelona's decision to release several of their star players in this season's transfer window did not have a bad impact on their performance at the start of this season, because Barcelona was able to progress smoothly at the start of this season by achieving 3 wins and 1 draw. Xavi knows what he has to do for the good of Barcelona and in fact the work he is doing is quite good for Barcelona's current progress. So, we will wait for Barcelona's performance in the Champions League, whether Xavi is really ready to face big obstacles this season or whether they will fail again.

Isn't Bayern Munich a top club? So, Nagelsmann should be worthy of being a potential coach for the German national team squad. Moreover, currently Nagelsmann is not tied to any club. It's just that, is this young coach interested in filling the place left by Hansi Flick. However, if I refer to several recent newspapers, Nagelsmann is on the list of coaches who will replace Hansi Flick. However, according to rumors circulating, there are several names on the candidate market for Hansi Flick's successor.

IMO, Nagelsmann is a good coach and has the potential to revive the German squad into a stronger team. Even if Nagesmann doesn't have experience as a national team coach, maybe this is the time for him to get that opportunity and show that he is capable and can make the German squad much better. It's just that the problem is whether Nagelsmann is willing or not. What is certain is that we have not yet received an official statement from this young coach.
Regarding the case when Nagelsmann was fired by Bayern Munich management, this was a big mistake made by Munich. After all, Nagelsmann is a coach who has many modern football strategies and philosophies.

Well, for me, Alonso is not ideal enough as coach of the German national team. Moreover, he is still the Leverkusen coach. as for the others, I'm not sure. I think there are better coaches than the coaches on the list of names you mentioned in this post.

Yes, but we all know the Arabs.
They can say "Hey Mbappé why don't you stay 2 more years and we give you 500m € as a bonus?"

They did something similar when Mbappe wanted to leave some season's ago and they were successful, so i'd not rule it out from happening again. PSG have made quite a lot of mistakes with Mbappe, though they refuse to admit it, they should have let him go when he wanted to do so some year's ago, instead they gave him a ridiculous contract that somewhat made him bigger than the club. That decision came back to bite them as Mbappe refused to sign a new contract and is prolly on his way out for free next summer. If PSG know what's best for their club, they'll simply let him go and build their team from there without him.

Klopp was offered the manager position at Germany national team but he rejected this offer. I'm not surprised with his answer though because there isn't any reason for him to leave Liverpool right now. He wouldn't like to manage 2 teams at the same time either. I think he has done the right thing for himself.

Because Liverpool should be his main concern right now. The previous season didn't went well for Liverpool you know. They are really expected to make a serious improvement this season like a fight for the league title. He wouldn't like to increase his workload now.

Some of these coaches do not like being Managers of National teams because they enjoy the thrill that every week in the premier league and other competitions give them. National teams do not always play and to some managers, it is boring for them and will not accept to leave the clubs they manage for a national team duty. Klopp has started a new project with the new Liverpool team, to return them back to the quality the team once had. He will not want to leave them now. Also, he will be a disgrace if he had left for Germany after convincing Mo Salah to remain with the club.

Barcelona are planning a move for Manchester City's 23-year-old Norway striker Erling Haaland in 2025, when he could be available for £150m. (90 Min)
...
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/gossip

Barcelona will sign Erling Haaland for £150 million? I have to act faster than Barcelona and start working to transfer him to our local team for that price. I have no doubt that I will convince Erling Haaland. The day I raise £150 million, I'll finish this transfer. :)

Sometimes the newspapers don't know what they're writing and they don't read what they write. I am really shocked when I see this kind of news. We have seen that even ordinary footballers were paid 100 million dollars this season. Fiat money is under inflationary pressure. In 2025, there is only one way to transfer Haaland for 200 million dollars, and that is if Haaland suffers an unfortunate injury and continues playing football in a wheelchair. God bless him so we can keep watching him. :)

Manchester City will not sell him for that price. It's not possible. Even his current transfer fee is worth at least 250 million euros, according to the market average.

Let's not even talk about City's valuation of Haaland, but the club in question here, Barcelona! The same club that is in a financial crisis, the same club that is struggling to get their players registered; and because of their financial situation they can only manage to get some big players on loan, how then are they going to fund the transfer of Haaland.

Erling Haaland is having the time of his life at Manchester City right now and i'm pretty sure he does not want to leave, neither does the club want to sell, some of this rumors is just so ridiculous.

Van Gaal is an old timer in this area of experience, but I doubt he would stay more than the world cup in U.S/Canada/mexico, that's if he gets the job.

Having a younger coach open up the club to multiple advantages and one of such advantage is that,  the coach will have enough time to build the team from basement up to standard level,  where by the players and the coach will properly integrate to deliver the best result for the club,  so I am very much in support of have g a younger coach that stays long in the club.

Of what use is changing coaches any ways if clubs can adequately build a coach right from when he is young in the coaching career till retirement and having a possible replacement for that also.

Right now comparing the current state of Barcelona to Manchester City there is nothing more attractive in Barcelona for Haaland to be taking such a decision and even with such a price bid even if the news is legit. Looking at the young man his very comfortable right now staying in Manchester City and I don't even see him leaving anytime soon.

To be fair Nagelsmann is still free agent, and I believe that he would be the biggest name they could get. That dude is AMAZING at picking players, I would hire him as head/chief scout for any team in the world and there won't be any better, BUT he is not a tactician. Considering nation teal is mostly checking every single german player and picking the right ones, he could be a great asset to them for sure. I believe that he is young enough to do this for at least 20+ years as well if he could get some success. I hope that they do fine, there are talks about our teams (Turkiye) Kuntz being linked, I personally would love that to happen so we can get rid of him, but it would be terrible for germany.

[arimamib]

I don't think it's difficult for Nagelsmann to coach the German national team because basically the German national team is mostly filled with Bayern Munich players who he has previously managed. So whatever strategy or tactics Nagelsmann will provide will definitely be easily absorbed by the players. If you look at the track record of the German national team, they have never appointed a coach outside of Germany, I mean the DFB always appoints a coach who is a native German so if you think about choosing Van Gaal, chances are it won't happen. However, anything related to the German national team must also be handled by a native German coach and I think that has been a very long tradition.

Agree, Nagelsmann should be given the opportunity to coach the German national team because he is used to handling players who dominated the German squad. The Bayern Munich players were under his control when he was still active as Bayern coach, it was not too difficult for him to build a connection with the players and they really understood the tactics used by Nagelsmann.
Van Gaal's quality certainly cannot be doubted, but he is still very unfamiliar with German players. Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso still doesn't have enough experience in managing the national team, especially a team as big as Germany which often achieves achievements in several competitions.

Two candidates have emerged to become Germany coach, and the most interesting is Nagelsmann because he really understands the character of German players, because Nagelsmann coached Bayern Munich last season. In fact, I'm sure he has a big chance of managing the national team in his next career compared to coaching a club.

Leroy Sane seems to really hope that Nagelsmann will become Germany's coach after Germany fired Hansi Flick. Yes, at this time there has been no response from Nagelsmann linking him to becoming coach of the German national team. I am sure he will accept this offer because becoming a national team coach is a big dream of some of the coaches who manage clubs in the German league.

The time when PSG tried to get rid of Marco Verratti and this palyer left the team, I was expecting to see better destinations for Marco Verratti, in the worst case I was hoping to see him in Saudi teams because of the more money they usually offer and other more paly who joined this league during this summer.
But instead, he joined the Al Arabi team in the Qatar League.

The fee spent by Al Arabi to get Marco Verratti was worth 45 million euros and perhaps PSG just wanted to receive a higher offer from another club so they chose to reach an agreement with Al Arabi. I was wondering whether the Qatari league now wants to compete with the Saudi league for investment in bringing in European players? because after all these two leagues are related in the same season, in terms of exposure the Saudi league is bigger because it has succeeded in bringing in several great names. After Countinho, now Verrartti has joined the Qatari league and I can't wait how this league develops and of course they have to bring in other star players who have a big influence so that their league is noticed by many people.

I have heard rumors that Al Hilal also made an offer equal to Al Arabi and my question is why did Marco Verratti choose to join Al Arabi when the SPL seems more popular at the moment?
this player should think about what the future of his career in football will be in the long term if he joins a team in the SPL and still has the opportunity to have a career in a slightly popular league rather than having to join a league that is not very popular at the moment. And if its about money, is not Marco thinking about his career?

I would not say its a rivalry between the Arab league and the SPL but its a bit disappointing that European players are going to less popular leagues which reminds us all of Ozil in the past.

During Saudi Pro League more popular right now seems Qatari League try to make their domestic league more popular later although not easy by signing two top European players Philip Countinho and Marco Veratti. Qatari League seems not face financial difficult for signing top European player but its difficult signed them if not have star player there like Saudi Pro League have been ever with Cristiano Ronaldo.

I doubt has any top European player will move to Qatari League team due in transfer rumor dominance by Saudi Pro League team and they want spent much money for payment salary. As Asian football fans we are excited with many star players will play in Asian football, hope all European players can participants in AFC Champion League in this season.

Now, it appears that Qatar is the next destination. Just when we thought we were getting used to Saudi Arabia's extravagant spending, Qatar has also entered the arena.
It's truly disappointing to see PSG lose their best talent. Anyway I saw this coming, and there's no longer happiness for players like Verratti there. PSG isn't the ideal club for any sensible and talented player to join or stay with. Thanks for everything and good luck to Marco Verratti.

Klopp was offered the manager position at Germany national team but he rejected this offer. I'm not surprised with his answer though because there isn't any reason for him to leave Liverpool right now. He wouldn't like to manage 2 teams at the same time either. I think he has done the right thing for himself.

Because Liverpool should be his main concern right now. The previous season didn't went well for Liverpool you know. They are really expected to make a serious improvement this season like a fight for the league title. He wouldn't like to increase his workload now.

Apart from Jurgen Klopp, there is another big name who has also been linked as the new manager of the German national team. This name is no stranger to German football circles because he has coached one of the best clubs there, namely Julian Nagelsmann. However, until now there has been no official news regarding the decision on who will replace Hansi Flick who was fired. Germany has a FIFA Matchday fixture ahead so pointing Rudi Voller as interim coach so that happen no vacancy in trainers.

Jurgen Klopp is a typical coach who has a big vision when coaching and he also focuses on handling or managing a team. But I think deciding to accept the offer is also good for his coaching career because there will be a lot of contributions he can make to Germany. But if in the end he does not accept the offer and decides to continue coaching Liverpool, that is also a decision he has considered.

He is unarguably one of the best players in the word at the moment,and should be happy of his achievement at his age.He is a big player,and cannot be bought easily, especially now that he is in the best team in the world.I don't think Barcelona will be able to sign him now because of his market value,and as well,I don't think Manchester city will be winning to let their best striker leave the club now., untill he achieves a major award for himself,and that can be accomplished at only Manchester
City.If he lives to Barcelona,the only thing that he has the chance of winning  at Barcelona is the Lalliga league Tittle.
I think Barcelona shouldnt even try to make an attempt to sign him because city can not let him go at the moment.

Liverpool is in terrific position this season, and we should expect better from the Reds. Klopp will be deploying his incredible team to challenge for league crowns. Jurgen Klopp has turned down overtures from Germany to be the national team's head coach, he has no business dealing with Germany national team, besides he wants to concentrate on his ultimate priorities. He is uninterested in these offers; all he wants is to improve the Reds' performance in the Premier League and make amends for the previous season's poor performance and failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
