⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Minecache]

I personally think that Frenkie de Jong is a very important player for Barcelona. And he needs to stay in Barcelona if Barcelona actually wants to perform well. Right now the squad of Barcelona is not the best. And Barcelona cannot afford to let these kind of players go. he is definitely one of the players who are actually holding the midfield of Barcelona in place. Raphinha just got injured. Even though I am not sure how serious the injury is, it was certainly something that Barcelona didn’t wish for. So right now, Barcelona will need the other players to step up.

Anyway, I think Barcelona should actually think about giving the players a little less money. That is definitely going to be helpful for them when it comes to the finances.

No doubt with Frenkie de Jong loyal for Barcelona, last several years have rumored link with Manchester United but fail although he will get higher payment salary than Barcelona. Nice decision from Barcelona management for extending Frenkie de Jong contract and he will be longer there. Last several days, Barcelona announced they have success make profitable 300 million in this year and seems why management brave for extending Frenkie de Jong contract. Could make all players more motivate if Barcelona financial will be better in the future and there are not any new issues about payment salary cut off, depend with negotiation have reduce payment salary or not for Frenkie de Jong contract extending.

Of course, it is going to make players that are already playing in Barcelona a lot more loyal and also confident in staying in Barcelona. Because almost every player has a worry about staying in Barcelona. Which is not getting paid on time from Barcelona I believe. But looking at what they are doing with Frankie Dejong, I think the other players are going to be happy. I also believe that players are going to be happy to see Barcelona evaluating a loyal player properly. But Barcelona definitely have to be very careful. Because I think Barcelona offers a little too much money to their players. They should be careful and give a little less money in salary In my opinion.

Luca Modric will probably retire as a Real Madrid player because if he wants to earn more money he has already done it this season by accepting an offer from an Arab club, while Toni Kroos will probably still play but with a different team, and their departure next season is unlikely a problem for Real Madrid because their young players already look compact, meaning that the regeneration of players there is quite successful.

Luca Modric plan before Laliga starting this season is he want to retire in Real Madrid but several times ago he has been change his mind that if Real Madrid doesn't want to used his service again then this winter Modric will thinking to leave Real Madrid before his contract duration ended and indeed this season Modric doesn't have any places on Real Madrid starting lineup because Ancelotti was more likely to played young players such as Jude Bellingham or Aurelien Tchouameni especially Bellingham that this player currently is onfire and always be performing well and scores goals everytime Real Madrid play and Modric was joining Real Madrid since 2012 and he has help Real Madrid to gets plenty of trophies but i have to says Modric era was ended so it's normal if Ancelotti want to regeneration Madrid squad and Modric losing his places and always starting the match from the bench

Frenkie de Jong stays! Barcelona set to offer a new contract for Dutch midfielder:[1]
Frenkie de Jong, who was targeted by Manchester United in several transfer windows, is now close to renewing his contract with Barcelona. Barcelona are set to extend Frenkie De Jong's contract by two more years, as he is being considered the 'cornerstone' of Xavi's project. Sporting director Deco has reportedly initiated talks with De Jong to extend his contract to 2028.
Now the Dutch midfielder has become one of the highest paid in the team. Moreover, this is a very good act from Barcelona to secure Frenki De Jong's future by renewing his contract because he is one of the key players for their new boss, Xavi.

De Jong is an example of how to behave with insolent clubs. Let me remind you that he seems to be the only one who refused to lower salaries in Barcelona when it found itself in a financial crisis and began to solve its problems, including at the expense of the players. He had already become one of the highest paid players in the club and, as I understand it, if he signs a contract extension, his salary will increase even more (of course, the interesting question is where Barcelona gets the money for this).

Luca Modric plan before Laliga starting this season is he want to retire in Real Madrid but several times ago he has been change his mind that if Real Madrid doesn't want to used his service again then this winter Modric will thinking to leave Real Madrid before his contract duration ended and indeed this season Modric doesn't have any places on Real Madrid starting lineup because Ancelotti was more likely to played young players such as Jude Bellingham or Aurelien Tchouameni especially Bellingham that this player currently is onfire and always be performing well and scores goals everytime Real Madrid play and Modric was joining Real Madrid since 2012 and he has help Real Madrid to gets plenty of trophies but i have to says Modric era was ended so it's normal if Ancelotti want to regeneration Madrid squad and Modric losing his places and always starting the match from the bench

Due consistency performance in this season although not get regular position I think he has chance for extending one year later contract with Real Madrid, Luca Modric still most important players for Madrid but depend who will be the next Madrid's manager next season will Modric still in the game plan or not. Luca Modrd seems happy with Real Madrid right now after he loss as regular position but always get minutes playing as substitute players and enough for him depend he was over age. But he still on the top level although more playing start from the bench and he has professional and keep respect with tactical from Carlo Ancelotti not put him in the regular position.

I think he will get chance as starting eleven when Madrid face busy schedule match, when getting rotation actually Modric will put as attacking midfielder.

Luca Modric's age is no longer young, so Ancelotti has to be smart in utilizing the qualities that Luca Modric has and it is very natural that Luca Modric doesn't play regularly anymore. It cannot be denied that Luca Modric's performance has really declined and so far in my opinion Ancelotti have taken the right steps, namely rotating players for central positions so that there can be regeneration when Luca Modric is no longer in the Real Madrid team.
It is indeed possible for Luca Modric to extend his contract again with Real Madrid and this player is still really needed, but now there are many rumors circulating that Luca Modric is not happy to sit on the bench and he is starting to be rumored with several Arab teams and also MLS teams.

[doomloop]

I hope so but rodrygo seems still to be the primary choice by ancellotti even though joselu was available and this is good. I was seeing that in the previous season if ancellotti was always prioritizing the old talents to play. Kroos and modric seem get less regular time to play and i do like that caused by they were aged even though they were good. I would like to see all of young talented players were filling real madrid. I hope madrid will get a new striker in winter. The club really needs one striker who can carry like benzema in the past.
I hope madrid will able to find someone who was suitable enough in filling the position as a striker. I'm feeling nostalgic for the time when Madrid played without any losses, and they were flawless in their performance.
That reminds me of the era when madrid won three times UCL in a row. It's the best moment i have remembered it in my mind.

Carlos Ancelotti is having his last season here at Real Madrid with his current team is doing impressive, and he doesn't need to do any big changes because in next season with new coach we can expect better things which will help this team for having good results.

Kroos and Modric are surely now having last time because they already give their best with most chances things will be completely change after end of Ancelotti era, and they will be also had their new destination, but one thing is surely as we have rumors we will not have Son Heung-Min in this team in near future.

There is no doubt Real Madrid still looking for good striker and things will be clear in summer 2024 because then we will have the good number of changes and this will be a good chance for them but who is coming it's still not clear even many feeling they have deal with Mbappé which is also not clear.

Whatever the names, Real Madrid will find other younger players as replacement and so on.
Modric days aren't over yet and he has to evaluate his performance and chances to remain or not as essential player there by the winter or next summer transfer window.

Croatian star, Modric, has already agreed to extend his contract with Madrid until June 2024, showcasing his affection for the club. Madrid values his athletic abilities, but things can shift. As he's aging, the club is eyeing younger replacements. It might be an apt moment for him to move on, and allowing the young talents at Real Madrid a chance to shine. Clubs in Saudi Arabia or MLS could be potential destinations, given their inclination towards European top players.

I believe he still got lots to offer even though he's not very younger and agile like he used to be, but he's got a lot of experience and it would be much needed by Ancelotti in some matches, but i thnk Realmadrid has already got a good replacement for him in person of Jude Bellingham and he's been very brilliant since he came to the club this Summer, so far he's been the best performing player for the team and because of Bellingham, Modric won't be missed very much if he finally leaves Realmadrid.

 I think Modric made the right call by extending his contract in his present team, his presence would be highly needed to help them challenge for the Champions League this summer, cause at some point Ancelotti would definitely need to rotate the team to avoid fatigue that could lead to injury.

They don't need to find other players anymore, they have Tchouameni, Camavinga, Valverde, and Guler, I think it's more than enough to replace Modric and Kroos' positions.

Modric high likely will end his career in Dinamo Zagreb, I don't think he's really want to aim money than back to his home town. It's better because he still have a chance to play in Champions or Europa league through qualification.

I thought Arda Güler could be a good alternative to Modric but he had a series of unfortunate injuries. Arda is actually a footballer who can play a bit closer to the penalty area, but he could also play in the area where Modric plays. I hope he recovers his health as soon as possible and he'll be able to put up good stats in the Real Madrid jersey... Also, I think that Modric could transfer to the Arab league after his contract with Real Madrid expires because he still has the fitness to play football in lower level leagues...

Lamine Yamal is closing in on signing his first professional contract at Barcelona in the next 24 hours:
Lamine Yamal has been a prominent player since making the scene for Barcelona. And he has become Barcelona's youngest player so far. Despite being so young, meaning 16 years old, he has made a name for himself by showing his performance on the first team. He showed his impressive performance after being called up for their first season. It's possible he will take up the Raphinha position soon due to their massive standard of performance.
Lamine Yamal has agreed to sign his first professional contract at Barcelona, which will keep him at the club until the end of the 2025–2026 session at least, and his contract agreement will be officially finalized on Monday.
Moreover, Lamine Yamal is a very good player because he is one of the most promising young players to graduate from La Masia, like Messi, Iniesta, and Xavi. So in POV, it is a good decision from Barcelona to keep him in the first team or not. What are you thinking, guys? Give us your thoughts.

It is reported that Jerome Boateng has now returned to Bayern Munich as a free agent and he has signed a short-term contract with Bayern Munich. In fact, he is still a pretty good defender and it seems like Tuchel's interest in recruiting him certainly has his own reasons for that. If we look, there are quite a lot of defenders at Bayern Munich, such as Upamecano, Kim Min Jae, De Ligt, and now there is Jerome Boateng. It seems that Tuchel wants to rotate some of his defenders for important matches in each current competition. Apart from that, the arrival of Jerome Boateng can certainly be used as a cover if a defender is injured so that Tuchel doesn't need to be confused about the available options. Currently, Jerome Boateng has been training with other Bayern Munich players and hopes he can give the best for Bayern Munich in this short time.

Luka Modric and Toni Kroos should consider their futures. Leaving Real Madrid would be a good choice, or Luka Modric will retire at this club.

Toni Kroos is 33 yeas old, whilst Luka Modric is 38, i think this may well be Modric's last season in Real Madrid, he has achieved it all, so he might leave the club after this season, if he thinks he still has a lot left in him, then he can just move to a less competitive league, but if doesn't, then he can close the curtain on what would be an exceptional career that saw him win absolutely everything.

Having said that, Toni Kroos is not as old as Modric, thus it is very possible for him to keep on going, but we have to wait and see. I'm pretty sure neither of these players is thinking about what will happen at the end of the season, for now they just want to have a good season and see what happens.

[JeffBrad12]

Real Madrid offered might be rejected because there's absolutely no way Tottenham will provide greenlight for this bids. Son Heung-Min is still agile and have a great deal of work to accomplished with Spurs. He is an important player for Tottenham Hotspur and also a key player for the new coach, Angelos Postecoglou who's set to make really good use of the South Korea international. Son have proved his worth under several Spurs ex-managers, more reason he's considered valuable after Harry Kane. The team will not released another key man to elite side this summer or next, Spurs will worked with Son to achieved their targets mapped for this season.

You are right, but it does not rule out the possibility that Madrid's offer for Son Heung-Min could result in his fate being the same as what Hary Kane is experiencing now at Bayern Munich. Winning a trophy won't be as difficult as it was at Spurs. Son Heung-Min can realize his dream during his career in football by lifting the trophy. In football, there are always unexpected things, including Son Heung-Min decision. At Spurs he is now the main substitute for Harry Kane, maybe that's the only thing that makes it difficult for Spurs to let go of Son.

The same story as kane will repeat again. People were expecting kane not to leave from totenham but he did it. There's none know what is going to happen with son and his future. Himself can determine which best choice for his future.
I really appreaciate son if he will able to leave from his old club to join in the new club. Totenham is good but this club doesn't have winner mentality. Even though totenham had been having very good start this season but it's not enough to win UCL.
Some clubs were struggling but i think that if son deserves to be recruited to a good club with higher chance to win the trophy. Son deserves to be recruited by a world class club like real madrid.
I hope this will not fake rumor. Im still waiting for madrid to recruit a great striker on winter. It's caused by real madrid has proven got crisis once there have been a lot of strikers were injured.

Modric days aren't over yet and he has to evaluate his performance and chances to remain or not as essential player there by the winter or next summer transfer window.

Modric's decision to extend his contract with Real Madrid shows how committed he is to the team and how much he believes in his own skills. But Im really worried—shouldnt he know the time is running out? As a club, Real Madrid has a history of replacing older players with younger ones. I agree that his many years of knowledge ca't be replaced and that he still has a lot to offer the team. But the rise of Jude Bellingham makes it hard to say how much Modric will play regularly. Couldnt it make the Croatian's place on the team less important? Is Modric ready for this change that has to happen? Modric needs to keep thinking about his job and how well he's doing on the team. The winter or summer transfer window could be a turning point for him to find out where he stands and make a smart choice about his future at Real Madrid.

There have been some players in madrid who are capable enough in replacing modric and kroos. We have tchouameni, brahim diaz, and many more. Madrid may needs only to buy 1 additional midfielder to be used as backup for the club. Modric is rarely playing at this moment.
My prediction if ancellotti wants the young player to get more experience compared with fully experienced player like modric. Let's hope arda guller will able to join in the starting line up in the future.
I have been waiting for him to play together with some great talented players like bellingham. Arda can also get more experience in playing football with some professional players with full experience on it.
It's still uncertain whether modric will have interest to leave from madrid for saudi pro league. Anything is still possible at this moment. We will know what step to be taken by him once his contract will end next year.

Luka Modric and Toni Kroos should consider their futures. Leaving Real Madrid would be a good choice, or Luka Modric will retire at this club.

Toni Kroos is 33 yeas old, whilst Luka Modric is 38, i think this may well be Modric's last season in Real Madrid, he has achieved it all, so he might leave the club after this season, if he thinks he still has a lot left in him, then he can just move to a less competitive league, but if doesn't, then he can close the curtain on what would be an exceptional career that saw him win absolutely everything.

I'm pretty sure neither of these players is thinking about what will happen at the end of the season, for now they just want to have a good season and see what happens.

I think this is the last season for Modric. I am not sure if it was him, but I think he also refuses to play in Saudi Arabia, but then again I think someone can quickly change his mind when the end is near. I know that many people judge someone for changing his mind, but I believe that is no different for almost anybody else.

Kroos said a while ago that he won't play until he is a grandpa. I believe he currently signs contracts on a year to year basis and this one ends in June 2024 as well. It all depends whether he is still healthy or not. I don't think he is the kind of guy who would now suffer from a bad injury and then feels like coming back would be a big thing for him in the new season. He has really won more than he could have ever dreamt of. Five Champion League wins say it all.

[topbitcoin]

With the conditions of what Ancelotti did, actually something like that has been done since the previous few seasons where when they tried to rotate when some old players like Modric or Kroos were replaced by several young players like Tchouameni or Valverde and some players have also actually been given a decent portion such as Jude, Rodrygo, Vini and Camavinga are also always prioritized to start in the line up as a form of giving great responsibility.
Madrid have now given their young players a good portion in terms of opportunities and IMO the answers given by their young players are also very impressive.  

I hope so but rodrygo seems still to be the primary choice by ancellotti even though joselu was available and this is good. I was seeing that in the previous season if ancellotti was always prioritizing the old talents to play. Kroos and modric seem get less regular time to play and i do like that caused by they were aged even though they were good. I would like to see all of young talented players were filling real madrid.

That's very reasonable because we know that Modric and Kroos are good but they are old so the purpose of Ancelotii playing young talents is because he wants when Modric and Kroos are finally unable to play for Madrid then the replacements who are young players are ready to expand the duties of Modric and Kroos in the midfield position. That is the process of regeneration that they want to do, not that Modric and Kroos are not given time but the portion is indeed reduced so that young players have a lot of flying hours.
The club needs a pure striker but for now it is likely that they will keep the current players at least until the end of the season because even if there is no pure striker at this time their performance is still quite good.

True. The current players are available in the club more than enough to anticipate once kroos and modric will leave from the club. Modric is always sitting on the bench this season. I hope modric will able to play in a big club next season once he will be leaving from the club. Modric deserves a better future for the end of his career.
