⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Zaguru12]

Serie A side AC Monza is set to sign Papu Gómez as a free agent:
According to Sky Sport Italia, Monza has signed free agent Alejandro 'Papu' Gomez and he will undergo a medical tomorrow, making his return to Serie A.
The transfer window has closed, but clubs can still sign players who are out of contract.
Gomez sees his contract with Sevilla expire on June 30 and has been waiting to decide on his next move, which includes interest from Saudi Arabia and France.
The 35-year-old Argentine spent most of his international career in Italy, first with Catania from 2010–13 and then with Atalanta from September 2014 until January 2021.
Sold to Sevilla in succession by Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini, he made 252 appearances for La Dea, scoring 59 goals and providing 72 assists.

Finally he gets a club, the Argentine has been without any club since Sevilla ended his contract, he actually had numerous offers to MLS , Saudi Arabia and other non-European clubs but he said that he wouldn’t leave European football just yet because he still believes he has more years to play at the top. A regular South American would have gone home but not Papu Gomez.

Chelsea are after Dimarco and Theo Hernandez both according to rumours. However I doubt whether there is a need for more transfers to these areas. They would actually make use of some improvement in performance rather than making new transfers. Because they have already spent like half a billion dollars in the most recent transfer window.

Chelsea should prioritize the striking role instead of all these wide players. Theo Hernandez will definitely be a better left back than both Chilwell and Cucurella, and Dimarco can also fit in but the problem is this isn’t the emergency situation Chelsea hierarchies need to stop. They need a very prominent striker and with the crises at Napoli, Chelsea should be moving towards signing him other than these players they are after. The Osihmen Situation is persisting with Napoli yet to apologize I think the player would decide to leave may be this January and clubs like even Madrid will keeping tabs on him, so Bohely needs to Spend big Again just to get his man

Manchester United decided to stop working with De Gea and they hired another goalkeeper, since Onana and Ten Hag were both working at Ajax, Ten Hag asked the team to hire Onana during the summer.
Te nHag was hoping to see a better performance from Onana than what he saw from De Gea but in the end. But Onana is not in a good situation at Manchester United and there is new a chance for Jan Oblak to join Manchester United from Atletico Madrid.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/c72ml4zk4k2o

So far I can rate Onana a 6/10 overall performance since joining Manchester United this summer. I also agree with the idea of recruiting another top goalkeeper that will bring competition to Onana in that position. This move will force improvement because both goalkeepers will be at their post to get or keep the number 1 spot.

As we know, Xabi Alonso's name is often linked as a candidate for the next Real Madrid coach and even Ancelotti also hopes that one day he will coach the city of Madrid's proud team. However, it seems that not only Xabi Alonso is included as a candidate for Real Madrid's new coach and now Brighton coach Roberto De Zerbi is also included as a candidate for the next Real Madrid coach.

I think Real Madrid's interest in Roberto De Zerbi is quite risky and however, even though he coaches Brighton very well, it's not certain that when he is in a team as big as Real Madrid he can carry out his duties well. Like Graham Potter, who previously surprised people when he coached Brighton, but after becoming Chelsea coach, he encountered difficulties and was even fired. Who do you think is the right coach to handle Real Madrid in the future? Xabi Alonso or Roberto De Zerbi?

This is unusual because I have known Real Madrid to be a club interested in appointing experienced managers. De Zerbi is a good manager but there is a big question if he can handle and manage a big club like Real Madrid with lots of world class players. IMO this is a huge gamble on the part of Real Madrid.

Chelsea already spent a lot of money and i think this is it what they got until the winter transfer window. They got a bad team and they will have to try and make something out of this team. Because they keep on buying the wrong players and for them it aint working. They are just lost maybe after winning against Brighton they might get some wins in the league aswell.

There have been many rumors associated with Chelsea, it is not surprising that the media continues to rumor Chelsea will buy players with high values. Maybe if Chelsea make transfers in the winter can spend 200 million more for some players. Lol

Try to wait until all the players recover, is there an improvement in Chelsea's performance? If nothing at all then they have a coach who can't get up means Chelsea failed again to recruit the coach now, but that's not the answer now because it's still early so it's still very reasonable if Chelsea are still in a bad state.

I see victory in the league will be very difficult for Chelsea, even I doubt betting on Chelsea.

This guy is one of the example where you can be good as a player, but you're bad when you're become a manager, pretty much similar like Lampard. People should need to wake up because they shouldn't judge the manager capability because he was a superstar player, that's different.

Marseille was quite good, with Gattuso they will not able to reach even Europa League.

Frank Lampard was an exceptional player that scored goals for Chelsea and he's also consider as Chelsea legend because he lifted significant trophies with other important players like John Terry, Didier Drogba and others. Lampard coming to Stanford Bridge, this time as a coach, he didn't have any good reputation, making the team crumbled in performance and zero improvements. His story didn't end well. Olympique Marseille appointing Gennaro Gattus as the new coach is good news, but on the contrary there's no coach without poor performance and records. Marseille will exercised patience if the probability of Gattus to do well in his first season incharge, he's not above the system, gradually he will be acquainted.

I don't think it's fair to say Lampard brought Chelsea apart, because Chelsea's situation was like that before he was appointed coach. The reason I say that is because he came at a time when things were not good, the players he had were inherited from the previous coach and also the opportunity he did not have much because he came when the season was about to end. Indeed he did not have a positive impact after he was appointed coach, but we also have to look at the situation when he joined.

I agree with you and I think Lampards name shouldn't be mentioned as one of the coaches that has made things worse for Chelsea while he has not because Chelsea football club was already shaking when he was appointed as the manager. On the other hand, I think Lampard inherited the players but enough time was given to him to prove himself but at the end of the day the club was not getting better. Lampard couldn't change the bad performance of Chelsea because looking at the club the situation that he found the club them was beyond his capacity to restore as a young coach so I think they only tested his capabilities which is good but I don't think Lampars should be blamed because he was on able to improve the performance of the club

Do you remember that Lampard once coached Chelsea and it was because he didn’t excel they have to terminate his contract then. We all know that he came at the wrong time to manage a big team like Chelsea, where everyone’s attention is. The fact is that Lampard is still an upcoming coach that needs more coaching skills before coaching a big team again. He’s always doing moderately well in other teams but after joining Chelsea, he can’t always provide them with what they need, hence he’ll always be sacked.

Yes, the main problem is on the coach and Chelsea management. They decide to buy which players, it is their responsibility if they bring the wrong players on the squad. I still don't understand why Chelsea decided to hire Mauricio Pochettino. There is no something special with this coach, he is not the coach who has many good records. He only won the titles with PSG, it is easy because PSG is too superior in Ligue 1. But when he managed Tottenham and Southampton, he failed to win any title.

I think Chelsea needs to hire a new coach who can build a team with better players. I'm not sure Chelsea can build a strong team/squad with Pochettino.

Exactly! If Napoli doesn't appreciate him, it might be best for Osimhen to leave for a club where he feels valued. Recent incidents at Napoli indicate a strain in the relationship between Victor Osimhen and the club. Other teams might take advantage of this situation to attract the striker, and Real Madrid could be the rightful place for him.

I don't know what whoever handles Napoli's social media handles was thinking when they posted those videos, i mean, we're talking about their best player here, the one who led them to the title last season, the same title they hadn't won for over three decades, it is completely ridiculous, and i can only imagine how furious Osimhen would be right now. The crazy thing is that, Napoli are yet to officially apologize to Victor Osimhen, and i am shocked to say the least.

Osimhen has not talked about leaving, but if this unfair treatment continues, he might be forced to leave for another team, and he has the quality to play for any club in the world and perform exceptionally well.

Napoli reportedly refused to apologize to Osimhen, the club felt the post was not intended to ridicule its player. Exactly as you said, it is surprising to learn that the club refused to apologize to Osimhen. Most recently, Osimhen was seen not executing a penalty in the match against Udinese, Piotr Zielinski took over the task to do so, Napoli managed to get full points and Osimhen contributed one goal.

The professional attitude shown by the Nigerian striker is worthy of being an example, and I think deserves to be appreciated. If this problem continues, I think Napoli will lose their assets on the transfer market. Not a few clubs want his services, it could be that Real Madrid and Chelsea will become new ports for Osimhen. Los Blancos need an ideal striker as a replacement for Benzema, while the Blues need a better striker than Nicolas Jackson when Nkunku is injured.

I think it was very unprofessional for Napoli not to publicly apologize to their striker Victor Osimhen after the club social media handlers posted of a mocking video of the player on their official social media account. It goes a long way to show how the club doesn't have regard to a player that was the club's highest goalscorer last season.
In my own opinion I think Osimhen isn't getting the kind of treatments he deserves after all the great work he's done for the Napoli and the best thing to do now is to quit go to another club that'll respect and honour him duly.

Nothing is clear yet but there is a chance for Zidane to start coaching another team, while there was some news related to him and PSG in this summer and people were thinking Zidane could get back and start working in PSG but they chose Enrique, and now Zidane is close to Marseille.
There is a chance for Saudis to buy Marseille and if this happens they will put a huge amount of investment there which can help them to hire Marseille and start racing with PSG in the French League.

I would rather than believe him to go back again to be a real madrid coach instead of believing him to join in the french league club. It's not even PSG can hire him as a coach but i kinda feel that if it's possible for real madrid to hire him again.

Is that real if zidane is close to marseille? I think this news explain everything https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66942016

Gattuso has become a new appointment for marseille and no chance for zidane to come here. Zidane will be going to the spanish club instead of french club.
It sounds non sense to linked him to the french league like marseille while marseille already recruited a new appointment to handle the club now.

I hope that we will not see another shitshow from marseille again after gattuso already become new appointment for the club.

Many times, PSG offered to recruit Zinedine Zidane, but all failed. PSG gave up the idea and recruited Enrique. Not Real Madrid or PSG, not even MU. I would be shocked if Zidane returned to a small team like Marseille. He turned down so many big groups that everyone thought he had retired.
The deal will only be triggered if current owner Frank McCourt agrees to sell Marseille to the Saudis. I suspect this is what Zidane wants to do: contribute to his homeland, and Zidane is still dreaming of being the coach of the French national team.

The Chelsea was in the hurry to chose their coach,the coach itself the important one of the team growth.Maurice’s Pochettino was not the good option,the team management should reconsidered this decision.Over a world this was the criticism in the football community.All the football fans was not satisfied with this move by the Chelsea,for this the Chelsea may retain the old coach for the current game.Because changing the coach is not the good move by the team all the time.Some potential team will keep their coach as much they can because of the well performance by their team.

[Furious 7]

There is a chance for Saudis to buy Marseille and if this happens they will put a huge amount of investment there which can help them to hire Marseille and start racing with PSG in the French League.

This is also one of the foundations for Zidane because in some news that I read is Zidane ready to train Marseille if in the end Marseille is bought by investors from the middle east.
Zidane knows with the resources he will have if Arab money comes into Marseille he will not be too bothered and will definitely be very ready to train but the problem is that it is currently rumored that Frank McCourt said firmly that Marseille is not for sale.
I hope for a change and Marseille can be acquired by Arab investors because this will definitely make Ligue 1 more attractive which Marseille can definitely rival PSG in terms of finance.

Midfielder Sofyan Amrabat is playing for MU on loan from Fiorentina. For the first time, MU won 2 consecutive victories in the match against Sofyan Amrabat, promising to create momentum for the midfield. Rookie Sofyan Amrabat will make a valuable central pair with Casemiro if they get along well. Amrabat's energy helps Casemiro, Mount, or even Bruno Fernandes, and the attacking players benefit. Although he plays as a lefl-back, Amrabat is allowed to play freely. Even though it's not his forte position, he wants MU to have more choices. Everything is excellent, and he can play any role the team needs. Perhaps he is the final piece of the puzzle for MU to turn the situation around.

Amrabat is a good deal for United

Ten Hag has discovered another strategy that works for him, and I want to see Amrabat and Casemiro again.
However, squad rotation is also important. The Rotation makes planning opponents more difficult. Something that could not be done last season.
And  I also want to see Bruno in front of Casemiro and Amrabat.
I have confidence that United can replicate the same level of performance and achieve a similar result this coming weekend.

I strongly wanted Paris Saint Germaine to sign Zinedine Zidane as their manager in the summer but unfortunately for me and other lovers of him and his managerial style, PSG went for Luis Enrique which I think was for the best interest of the French club.
Now that it is rumoured that Marseille wants to sign him as a replacement for the club's current manager who's been producing poor results for the club since the start of the season, k think it'll be a good move for Zidane who's not managed any club since he left Real Madrid.

I think his current interest is in coaching the French national team, at least that's what we always read in the media, and he had that opportunity but the FFF still entrusted that position to Didier Deschamps by extending his contract again some time ago.
Returning to Real Madrid is more likely, especially since Carlo Ancelotti's contract will end there, even though there have been rumors circulating that Real Madrid is approaching Xabi Alonso, who is currently at Leverkusen.
However, if Marseille were to get rich investors from Arabia then it could be true that Zinade would go to the club to start making changes because at least he had been successful as a coach at Real Madrid, and clubs that want to be successful must also have coaches who are successful in their coaching careers.

I think Chelsea needs to hire a new coach who can build a team with better players. I'm not sure Chelsea can build a strong team/squad with Pochettino.

What made Chelsea recruit Pocchettino was because Pochettino is a typical coach who can accept the composition of the existing squad. Chelsea have spent more than 600 million pounds on players in the last two transfer windows. I think Chelsea needs a coach who can not spend a lot of money buying more players. But still this is a big gamble for Chelsea management because if this gamble fails and Chelsea doesn't qualify for any European competition next season, I think the fans will be really angry about this.

I get your point. Lampard was blamed because people are likely to judge. From one perspective, Chelsea was struggling and Lampard handled it. Joining a struggling club midseason is difficult. I think it's too much to expect a coach to change things quickly. It's evident he didn't improve things, but his position made it difficult. The complete picture should be considered, not simply his time in office. Lampard was blamed for problems he didn't cause and given little time to remedy them.

- Zidane's ambition is to lead the French national team. However, Didier Deschamps' contract extends until 2026, so a waiting period of 3 years could be ideal for Zidane to coach Marseille.
- If Arab owners invest money and manage to persuade Zidane to join Marseille, the French League could become even more attractive.

I read the news that Mourinho is likely to coach a top Mexican club. This is because of Mourinho's Istagram upload. There is speculation if he coached like América, Cruz Azul, Chivas, Monterrey d. an Tigres. But it seems that will happen after his contract at AS Roma expires. It may be around 2024 in June. In addition, she has sponsorship deals with Adidas and Top Eleven 2024.

It would be quite unfortunate for Mourinho's talent if he ends up in Mexico, in my opinion. He's still a prominent figure in the coaching industry, and I hope he can lead a national team that has the potential to participate in the Euro or World Cup.

There has been no official response from Zidane to the rumors that have dragged his name with Marseille, currently he is still unemployed without managing any club, Marseille could bring in Zidane if the project they are carrying out is in accordance with Zidane's wishes. I prefer him to wait until this season ends to make a decision, Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid to coach the Brazilian national team, maybe Zidan will be appointed as Real Madrid coach again.

Zidane also has the opportunity to continue his career in the EPL if he wants. Currently Chelsea and Manchester United are in bad shape with their coaches, Zidane can accept an offer from one of these clubs if an offer comes to him. PSG has just started a new adventure with Luis Enrique, the results of his work are starting to show after PSG succeeded in getting positive results. If Zidane becomes Marseille's new coach there will be more exciting competition in Ligue 1.

i found new rumour that after quarter final matches between Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich Ronaldo and Ramos approached to Lewandowski and they says that he was playing with very well and they says there is a place for him on Madrid if Lewandowski willing to move and i think probably he will do that because there is a rumour too that Benzema will leave Madrid and FYI Lewandowski is a big fan of Real Madrid since he was child

All of this football transfer information is just rumors, and I have no way of getting my hands on it effectively because it's multifaceted. The player in question is a Poland International who adores being a blaugrana player, and that's why he moved from Bundesliga to La Liga campaign, and he's doing magnificently well in the team. There's no need for him to move to the Santiago Bernabeu; Xavi Hernandez gives him regular playing time, as well as the majority of the goals he's scored since his arrival have helped Barcelona reclaim its title and stand in La Liga.
