⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Raflesia]

ondition for Zidane to accept a job is that he can win the Champions League. There had been rumors that he may soon be coaching a smaller club, but I doubt that as he is not the coach who wants to waste time on first making players better for years until he himself can the finally compete for the titles. If he comes back, I think it would be Real Madrid with the prospects of having Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham and then maybe Haaland or Mbappe. I think that would be a team that could be a chance for him tempting enough to say yes one more time.

Zinedine Zidane has been waiting on an opportunity to take the manager job at France for some time. It has been his priority so far that's why he hasn't wanted to manage any other team. Deschamps still has a contract with France national team until 2026 though. Therefore I wonder whether Zidane would make a change in his plans.

Coming back to Real Madrid would of course be amazing. Ancelotti is about to sign for Brazil next summer so Real Madrid will be in search of a new manager. Maybe he could prefer to manage PSG as well in case Luis Enrique's time doesn't last long. But for now we don't know if he would think about any of these.

This rumour has always happened even from a few seasons ago where indeed he was still very patient at that time waiting for Deschamps to leave the French national team but that cannot happen now because after all Deschamps' contract was also extended last season so Zidane has lost his chance because France still entrusts the national team to Deschamps.
I think now is the time for Zidane to return to the club wherever it is because seeing some of the conditions that occurred there have been several big clubs in the last season offering him to return to coaching and currently Marseille is the most likely for that because it is said that Marseille and Zidane are getting closer.

A club like Marseille doesn't suit Zidane's standard cause they Lack quality players he'll be willing to work with,and might not even offer him much funds to be able to afford getting top class players for the team, however it would be very interesting for him to go back to his former club Realmadrid where he would be welcome by both club and fans with an open arms and with the quality of  players currently in Madrid squad i think it might not be very difficult to win the Champions League again.

 
 Also instead of waiting to coach his countries National team,it would've better for him to go back to his former club which I know he'll be considering, if Zidane goes back to Realmadrid  the could win the Champions League and Spanish league trophy going to Marseille could be alot more stressful than the job at Madrid.

Now you see, that's the problem here, Zidane should work with a smaller teams, show his strength and tactics before trying to aim for a big job. A club with already made players that can play to his instructions is all he really needs.
Expecting Zidane yo manage Marseille and other smaller clubs is far from happening. Going back to former club? Personally, I feel like the job was too big for him, that was why he rushed with resigning.

I'll want to see Xabi Alonso in Real Madrid not Zidane. One has been without a concrete job and the other has served and is showing good qualities of a good coach and leaders. The midfielder's in the team will develop faster than anything.

It is still not clear if Rudi Garcia will be in Naples or not after the break for international games.

It is rumored their president already called some coaches like Tudor and Conte.

It is rumored their president already called some coaches like Tudor and Conte.

The reigning champions are opportune to be managed by a genius, Luciano Spalleti who resigned from his top position as headcoach, that triggered the club to scout his replacement, appointing the former Al Nassr boss. Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis have solid plans for the team, having issues choosing an appropriate coach that will be responsible for the good heights of the team. The current newly appointed manager, Rudi Garcia is not meeting up the require expectations in his first season in charge, perhaps he's been given time to set things right for the Parthenopeans.

The next coming weeks will reveal everything to us but until then we can only speculate where Zidane will be spending the next coming seasons,  but then also we must first of all put some factors into consideration before making some form of comment on which club best suit for Zidane and we should not underestimate that he already have some form of experience in some of the clubs that you guys mentioned,  Zidane was once a player in Real Madrid and also will want to try out something new.

There is a high possibility that Zidane may end up signing up with one of the smaller clubs that may have the funds to spend on buying new players that can work to build the club,  returning to a big club is a big jump start for Zidane despite his experiences as a coach.

Considering that Madrid have extended Kroos and Modric's contracts for this season only, I am quite sure that next season Madrid will no longer renew the contracts of these two veteran players. although in reality, Kroos can still be retained for at least one more season. But for Modric, he is getting older at 38 years old, even though I have never doubted his work ethic even though his performance has decreased as he gets older.

This two players will be much appreciated by Real Madrid for their efforts and contributions to the club throughout their stay in the club. They are the two players that are still remaining with Real Madrid having played for than a decades for the club with many caps. Karim Benzema was one of them but left to the Saudi Professional League last season. This two players ought to be celebrated even if they’re not going to retire at Real Madrid. They will be forever remembered in history as the two outstanding midfielder duo Real Madrid will ever have and remain productive season by season throughout their football career at Real Madrid. It will be safe for them to leave the club now that they have players that will replace them and have been nurtured to some extent by them to fit into the team and the positions they are going to be leaving.

Managing a club with "already made players" is not as easy as you might think. Just look at what's happening at Chelsea or PSG. They have squads most teams would admire to have but at the end of it all, the respective managers fail to deliver.

Going back to former club? Personally, I feel like the job was too big for him, that was why he rushed with resigning.

Rushing to resign does not mean the job was too big for him. What matters is if he performed or not. I think we will all agree that he did quite well, especially in the UCL.

Real Madrid will have no plans with the German international when he finally run out of his contract with them because he's aged and gave rendered good services and purposes for the club. It would be great to watch Luka Modric and Toni Kroos hanged their boots in Real Madrid jersey because it's an act of respect and becomes the club's legendary players. The change of plans have surprise everyone, though it might be consider a transfer rumour, Toni Kroos suddenly picks interests in continuing his career, this time he would push on rewriting a new story in completely new league. Choosing Manchester City is the best decision currently because they're the reigning champions and having one of the stellar performance in EPL.

Considering that Madrid have extended Kroos and Modric's contracts for this season only, I am quite sure that next season Madrid will no longer renew the contracts of these two veteran players. although in reality, Kroos can still be retained for at least one more season. But for Modric, he is getting older at 38 years old, even though I have never doubted his work ethic even though his performance has decreased as he gets older.

Modric is one of the most loyal players compared to other players, I have never doubted his performance and ethos, both with the club and the national team. that's why, if he ends this season. I hope that Madrid will give as much appreciation as possible and appreciate it. even though in reality, I am a Barcelona supporter.
IMO, if Madrid no longer uses his services next season, it is very likely that he will hang up his boots to end his career as a Madrid legend.
As for Toni Kroos, he is now 33 years old. he can still continue his career, at least with other clubs and teams. allso, considering that Madrid now has a young midfielder with potential. and at least, after getting guidance from two veteran players, these young midfielders are ready to move to the next level in their game.

Luka Modric is a real veteran, he is a player who really has great benefits for Real Madrid. He will win another cup with Real Madrid this season, I am sure of that, no matter which one it is, the Champions League or the League Cup, and I predict that this will be his last year, too, Real Madrid. I don't know if it will continue for another year or two after I quit.

But I think he is a name that is endlessly appreciated by the club and will remain among the legendary names. Kroos is still young, I think he is a compatible name in the Real Madrid squad.

Conte seems to be getting closer but in this case I think they will still see how Rudi Garcia does his job at this time because indeed seeing from what happened although not entirely sure but I think Rudi will still be given a chance only if in the next few matches Napoli do not show good results then I think it's over and Napoli are likely to look for a new coach,
But with this condition it is actually quite risky also to change the coach only if Conte will eventually be there I think this will be better than forcing Garcia.

I think Real Madrid will keep Toni Kross next season because Toni, who is 33 years old, is of course still strong enough to play for the next few seasons. I'm sure Real Madrid won't let him go next season because he can help Real Madrid's young players for the next few seasons. But Luka Modric is of course old and he probably won't be given a new contract next season. The role of both of them this season is very important in Real Madrid's game because these two players always get playing minutes with Real Madrid.

Ancelotti has slowly formed a Real Madrid squad dominated by young players. And he only needs a little support from senior players this season to be able to stabilize their performance in every match. So for Modric, maybe he will close his career or choose to retire when this season ends because the age of 38 is normal enough for him to announce his retirement. Or if he wants to play or postpone retirement, Modric will definitely look for an easy league for next season, maybe he will join the Saudi Arabian league.

Juventus are said to be considering a move for Jadon Sancho. Honestly I think Sancho would also be likely to leave the team at the earliest opportunity. He has a really bad relationship with Erik ten Hag now you know. It doesn't look like there will be a middle way found soon either. The best for Sancho is to leave the team as it seems.

I would actually like to see him going back to Dortmund. Because he had a really good chemistry back then and his performance was really great. But if that doesn't happen then he can just look for his other options such as Juventus.

Yes. Managing a football team is difficult. A typical example is PSG last season when the team had all-star players. Former coach Galtier mismanaged, leading to many conflicts. PSG, that season could have had better results. There are many names I want to mention. They had a dream team, but the results were too shocking. Manchester United will be the most disappointing club with Erik ten Hag at the helm. As you said next, Chelsea and eventually Napoli lost form when Luciano Spalletti resigned.
And Tottenham has improved rapidly under Ange Postecoglou, despite the departure of Harry Kane. This is proof that teams with good managers have better results.

Jadon Sancho was reported to have a little disagreement with Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag which led to some inappropriate conduct from the England international. He has been told to publicly apologize to the manager of Manchester United so he can be reinstated to the team's squad after he was told to be training with clubs under 23 team which in response the player has refused to make any form of apology for the poor behavior.
It is believed the Sancho would leave definitely leave the club during the winter transfer window. So if Juventus shows serious interest in him, he might sign for then in January

Yea but only on load.

There is no way for any Italian or not Premier League club to have the money necessary for him.

Maybe only real can afford him but they are not interested-

In general, Real Madrid should not pay much attention to the contracts of these two players, Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić, but they should pay attention to Cowan's replacement. These two players have become old, and now both of them do not have the same performance as before. If seen, neither Toni Kroos nor Luka Modrić have had any good performances in this season, as well as Luka Modrić's lack of performance, which happened due to some injury problems. Now this is not the 2017–18 season, Toni Kroos, and the Luka Modrić performance is not like the 2018 Luka Modrić that was before. So Real Madrid needs young and strong stamina and strength so that they can perform well or stay on the bench due to injuries. So Real Madrid needs to focus on their one of the best midfielders, Jude Bellingham, to bring him enough players to make the best understanding with each other and give him the taste of winning streaks.

His relationship with Erik Ten Hag does not seem to be improving after their heated exchange of words on social media. I think the disharmonious relationship between the two will be exploited by other teams to recruit Sancho in the January transfer window.

Maybe his performance this season is certainly not good so there is a big possibility that teams interested in Sancho will get him at a cheap price in the transfer market later.
Dortmund doesn't seem to be interested in him anymore, especially since Dortmund is more interested in recruiting players at cheaper prices.
Yes, maybe he will go to Serie A. Moreover, Serie A teams are often interested in getting EPL star players at low prices.

Oh, i just read about a possible comeback fro Onana in Seria A to Inter after the terrible start he got in the Premier League.

Meh, it will be the second time Inter will do this mess-up "seel-buy-resell", after Lukaku.

Rushing to resign does not mean the job was too big for him. What matters is if he performed or not. I think we will all agree that he did quite well, especially in the UCL.

Quite well under the strength of those players? Ronaldo, Modric, Kroos, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, Vazquez and Dani Carvajal. These names made him win those trophies.
I acknowledge the success he had, but I would love to see all that replicated when he decides to join a lesser side.
Can you recall Bayern Leverkusen from when Xabi Alonso took over? That side struggled the hell Until Xabi Alonso was appointed. He is no magician but his work experience around the world has helped him achieving that.

The wins have brought him to the European Competitions. He could make his way towards qualifications for the Champions League if he achieves success. Don't forget Zidane quickly resigned right after he won the Champions League.
Xabi Alonso now have been linked to Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

[Wend]

Xabi has received widespread praise for his first job in senior management, having proven hugely successful since taking over at Leverkusen. Of course, Real Madrid is a name that is difficult to refuse if an offer comes. But my advice to Xabi is: Stay at Leverkusen until 2025. I think he should repay the board of directors and Bayer Leverkusen fans. Real Madrid not only holds an advantage in this race. Liverpool is also ready to join the race to bring Xabi Alonso to Anfield. The contract between Xabi Alonso and Leverkusen has a release clause. As far as I know, if one of his three old clubs, including Real, Bayern, and Liverpool, offers in 2024, Leverkusen will have to let him leave. The amount and terms are currently unknown.

Ancelotti's reign would soon come to an end and he'll leave the club to go focus on his managerial career in the Brazil national team  and I believe he might resign sooner, therefore Realmadrid shouldn't think twice in getting their former player Xabi cause I believe he'll make the perfect replacement for Ancelotti and also he could influence some of his current good performing players at Leverkusen to move over to Madrid with him, for instance Victor Boniface, who's a very good finisher and one of the best in the Bundesliga currently.

 Bayern already has a good coach in person of Thomas Tuchel and they've got no plans of sacking him yet, however Liverpool still got more contract with Klopp and could however still move  for Xabi in a case where Klopp seek to retire but I think the best option for Xabi to move to would be Realmadrid cause they've got a good board and owner that would back him up with funds and help him sign the rightful players to enable him succeed.

Yes. Real Madrid is in immediate need of a coach to replace Ancelotti when he is ready to resign. But even though Xabi will be the head coach, Victor Boniface is still not a name for Real Madrid to target. Victor Boniface will most likely be the top scorer for the Bundesliga. But Kylian Mbappé is the striker they want most right now.
If Xabi still wants to continue to stay at Leverkusen, Real Madrid still has many names to choose from, such as Roberto De Zerbi, Antonio Conte, Hansi Flick, and finally, they cannot miss the name Zinedine Zidane on the list. Some media reports have said that he will return as a coach. It's great that the French legend returned to the Real Madrid hot seat.
