⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Velvet78]

Maybe I talked nonsense there.    It was too much to ask from Kalvin Phillips to be a part of Leeds in the Championship. But he can at least join a team now at which he can find many more chances in the starting eleven. It is very difficult for him to do that at Manchester City now as you have also said.

He is a talented midfielder so he shouldn't just let himself fade away like this. Probably we would see some offers coming to him in even January. But I assume he would like to join a different team more if that team are competing in the Champions League as well.

No you didn't completely   Seeing Juventus wanting a midfielder after the suspension of Paul Pogba and whoever the gambler was LoL!
They'll need his service only for a short term, for thee next six months and if he suits in well with how they play, then talks can continue between the both parties ( Manchester City and Juventus ) I'm sure of Manchester City wanting to sell the lad, what about Juventus Buying? That I don't have a clear view.

Manchester City signed him for 49 million euros but now his market value seems to be 28 million euros. They must be aware of the fact that they can't sell him by making any profit from now on. But they would still like to sell him at the earliest opportunity as it seems. Juventus had better benefit from this chance as they might be able to sign him without paying too much money.

If they don't have a better alternative than Kalvin Phillips in mind then they should go for him. Pogba is no use for them and it has always been like this since he joined them from Manchester United.  

[Docnaster]

Antonio Conte last coached Tottenham and is currently in free position or not coaching any team so no one really knows why he rejected the offer, because Napoli is also pretty big and strong team.
I not sure that Conte rejected the offer just because he wasn't interested, there must be another reason for the rejection.

If you compare Igor Tudor and Fabio Cannavaro then I would say Igor Tudor is more worthy as coach and he is also coach with quite good experience, even when he coached Marseille his performance was not that bad.
But it back to the Napoli owner and team administrators to determine who they will choose as replacement for Rudi Garcia.

Screw Rudi Garcia he took Napoli from better to worse. They should have won that game Union Berlin during the Champions League, that game was clear evidence he'll be sacked. How can he lose to the worst club in Bundesliga this season. Last seasons Napoli would have dealt with em.
Antonio Conte rebuffed the offer, he won't be managing any club any time soon, he is spending quality time with his family right now.

Igor Tudor and Fabio Cannavaro, I ain't see nobody coaching before, but Napoli's Management have decided to go with Igor Tudor over Fabio Cannavaro. We'll see how the ride goes!

I think Napoli President's decision to go for either of Igor Tudor or Fabio Cannavaro if they eventually sack Rudi Garcia is best known to him because I feel that there are better managers that can improve the performance of Napoli even when Antonio Conte has rejected the offer to take the managerial position at the club. Tudor and Cannavaro I don't think possess the right tactical experience to manage a big club like Napoli. Rudi Garcia is still the current manager of the team and until he's sacked and any of the managers listed is appointed, I still think the news are mere rumours

[QueenVera]

If Mbappe's move to Real Madrid fails, what makes you think Haaland will be Real Madrid's next target? Simply by looking, it is clear that Haaland will not be leaving Manchester City anytime soon. This is only his second season with the club, and he has been performing fantastically well, much to the delight of his teammates, coach, fans, and team management.

There hasn't even been a rumour about Haaland leaving this club, and I doubt it will happen even if Real Madrid expresses interest in him today. With his present form and the team he is playing for, he is capable of winning any trophy in Europe, as they are among the top teams in Europe after winning the treble last season. If Haaland will leave Manchester City, it will be later in his career, when he has spent more years with the club.

Well right now Mbappé is the mostly likely star player to move over to Realmadrid by next summer, based on the secret deal he had with them during this season's summer window, though Ancelotti has denied all claims linking the player to their team but there's a tendency that he would end up there next summer, however in a case where the deal collapse, Mbappé is not the only good finisher in Europe, Realmadrid could switch to Victor Osimhen or any other available option.

  As for the Haaland to Realmadrid news I don't believe in that cause it's a mere rumour spread by some journalists to get attention to themselves, the possibility of Haaland moving to Madrid is very slim and I don't think City is ready to lose their star player to their UCL rivals, moreover it's going to cost Realmadrid a lot of money, even double of what they paid for Jude Bellingham to get Haaland from Manchester City.

Tudor or Cannavaro is set to be the next Napoli Coach.

Their president does not want to spend the big money for a big name, so it should be one of these two, announcements in this week.

First Conte who offered by Napoli owner but recently he was refure that offer because Conte doesn't interested to train Napoli and now after Rudi Garcia got sacked Napoli has 3 candidate to replace Rudi Garcia position and they are Igor Tudor, Fabio Cannavaro and Walter Mazzari but probably Fabio Cannavaro is the strong candidate to be the next manager of Napoli and he is good player even Cannavaro can able to bringing Italy to being an world cup champion but as a manager his career achievement wasn't too impressive because if i am not mistaken Cannavaro has just sacked from Serie B team Benevento and i am not sure Cannavaro can able to bringing Napoli to performing good again

and it happened again, even though in the past I said here when Spalletti was fired and replaced by Garcia, it was a wasted effort because Aurelio De Laurentiis ambition was too big, just thinking about his team having to be able to get the Scudetto title and also the UCL title, even though all of that is not easy to get, it requires a bit of a long time while I think Napoli is a team that is too early.

I more support Conte who has rejected the offer from Napoli even though he could have helped Napoli to win another title but Conte just does not want to be like coach who has no self respect who was fired after getting the title he wanted like Spalletti and a candidate to replace Garcia completely I agree with you maybe Cannavaro more worthy to replace Garcia but unfortunately Cannavaro is just the same as Garcia and if it is true that Garcia will be fired I am quite sure that Napoli will experience even worse things.

As for Mbappe and Halaand teaming up, that can only be pull up by Madrid because only them have that monetary capacity to do that. But I don’t see Halaand leaving Manchester city at the moment probably it could be when Pep exits city. As for Mbappe I still see him signing up for Madrid, this silence from Madrid is just to avoid getting issues with PSG and FIFA due to breaking transfer rules regulations but he is there primary target for years and that hasn’t change since Madrid is yet to sign a marquee player.

Only a Premier League club can do this. Real Madrid does not have the financial condition and neither financial policy to have two of the most expensive football players in the world on its roster at once (and maybe three if we take into account the progress of Belingham).
By the way, Haaland can easily leave both City and the Premier League, moreover, he will definitely do this - in one of his interviews he said that he plans to play in all the top European championships.

Do well to get yourself informed about the recent happenings around the world of football from the best football journalist ( Fabrizio Romano )
He's already made a post saying Napoli will send offers to Igor Tudor later today to complete everything. Once completely done Rudi Garcia as head coach of Napoli would be no more.

Manchester City signed him for 49 million euros but now his market value seems to be 28 million euros. They must be aware of the fact that they can't sell him by making any profit from now on. But they would still like to sell him at the earliest opportunity as it seems. Juventus had better benefit from this chance as they might be able to sign him without paying too much money.

Paul Pogba shouldn't have returned to Manchester United, Jose Mourinho lead to both his movements and his fall. Amso injuries caused a major part of his inconsistency for Manchester United and he was having no proper defensive midfielder to shield right behind him.
Pep Guardiola wouldn't have much difficulties with players sale, player will be sold if they come to conclusion.

But it back to the Napoli owner and team administrators to determine who they will choose as replacement for Rudi Garcia.

Garcia has been under increasing pressure and there were reports to replace the Frenchman with Conte, who has been out of work since leaving Tottenham back in March, Antonio is a big coach who has earned quite a profile and there could be lots of reasons why he rejected to join Napoil side probably Financial reasons or the general team’s performance currently.

 Conte loves building a team from Day 1 and joining mid season might not make his style for the team work immediately hence, reducing his managerial ratings. So probably he prefers getting into the team from the pre season period, well I think Conte prefers waiting a little more before returning. Meanwhile next few fixtures might be seemingly crucial to Garcia if he’ll secure his job.

Getafe reportedly wants to extend the loan period for Mason Greenwood from Manchester United. Actually, I haven't paid much attention to Mason Greenwood's appearance so far at Getafe, but if we look at his statistics so far with Getafe, from 9 appearances he has contributed with 1 goal and 3 assists. I think that is a pretty good statistic, especially since the season is still very long until next year.

Mason Greenwood's loan period will only be valid for one season, but it also depends on whether Manchester United wants to accept the loan extension agreement or not, especially if Mason Greenwood's performance continues to improve then Manchester United will provide an opportunity for him to return to the main squad. What do you think, is it better for Mason Greenwood to return to England or continue his impressive performances with Getafe?

Antonio Conte is not the type of coach who easily accepts offers from any club, that also happened when it was rumored that he would coach Tottenham Hotspur, there was even news that he rejected it and after some time he finally accepted the offer, I think Conte will only accept the offer if requests are fulfilled, such as the amount of money to be spent or other things that are needed to build a strong team.
However, if Rudi Garcia's replacement is not a coach who has better experience than him, I think Napoli will still be the team they are today, unlike last season who managed to compete and become Serie A champions and in the Champions League were able to reach the quarter-finals only to lose to AC Milan, so the steps are stopped.
Napoli must have the courage to spend more money to get a better coach because great coaches will usually also ask for large funds so they can spend in the transfer market to buy the players they want.

I've seen similar news in the media that Erling Haaland's agent traveled to Madrid recently which has raised further rumours that the Norwegian is potentially gonna become a Real Madrid player anytime soon but I'm of the opinion that Manchester City wouldn't want to see their star man leave the club at the end of the season.
There's more possiblity of seeing Kylian Mbappe join the Spanish giants next summer than to see Haaland leave the Etihad stadium club. Wether Erling Haaland's agent traveled to Madrid or not, Haaland I believe will spend more years of his football career at Manchester City

What about both Haaland and Mbappe are joining Real Madrid? if we can't see Messi and Ronaldo play together in a same club, at least Haaland and Mbappe playing in a same club could be used to represent Messi and Ronaldo.

But since I believe there's always a politic in every popular thing, they will try to make both Mbappe and Haaland is a rival to each other.

I've always wanted to see Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi play together but it never happened. Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe together?
They both want the team they play around them, they both want to score the goals, how would that be possible?
Kylian Mbappe missed his first call up from Real Madrid, and I feel like he'll never get a second call once again. Manchester United might be a god option for Kylian Mbappe or Liverpool if they successfully sell Mo Salah!

Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland should both walk their own various paths and not mimick that of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

It's more of a dream than a reality for me to see Mbappe and Haaland play together. One team can't have everyone wanting to be the star, let's be honest. Regarding Mbappe's missed chance with Real Madrid, I think he still has a chance. Madrid thinks about the long term and is very good at managing the transfer market. Madrid is patient and knows when to bring in Mbappe. Mbappe might be interested in Manchester United or Liverpool, but they aren't as appealing as Real Madrid, which many see as the best team in football history

[FanEagle]

Honestly it looks like Jim Ratcliffle will buy only 25% of the United, so that means he is not going to solve any of the issues, he is not going to be the key figure to make the team better. It would be alright if Glazer family sold the whole club, but without them going out, and keep owning a big portion of the club, that means the yare going to be in charge, and will keep trying their best. I believe that the best thing to do here would be asking for Jim to buy some more, and even though that will be hard to handle, that is the only way out.

Buying 25% means that he is not going to be able to sell and buy players, he doesn't have that kind of power in the club and he is not capable of making any decision he wants. You need at least 51% to be able to do that, and he doesn't or won't own that anytime soon. The best thing to do right now would be that he is going to end up just putting some money in if he can, and they could just use that money to buy players.

However expecting 2 future star  to be in the same club is not to be expected because there will definitely be another friction that will make this not too comfortable for both so it would be better if they are not in the same club but I still expect them to be in the same league because if that happens then indirectly we can already replace the 2 goat rivalry that has happened before between Ronaldo and Messi replaced with Mbappe and Haaland because this is the most suitable candidate for now.
I still expect something like this, its just that everything can still happen and everything can still happen for the future of these two players.

Im not sure about this, real madrid didn't require a lot of money to get mbappe but the club needs to spend a lot of money for haaland. The only problem if mbappe and haaland will be received high salaries that may push the salary cap of real madrid.
Considering the current condition of Real Madrid, which is in a good state unlike Barcelona, I don't believe that the only EPL club can achieve what Real Madrid can, especially given Barcelona's financial troubles and their horrible position.

Real madrid is still having a lot of money to do that. Even thought the club was taking 1 billion loan to renovation its stadium and i think that this is still going pretty well.
Madrid can sign those two at the same time without any problem since PSG will let mbappe to leave as free agent and that's it.
EPL has so many billionaires but real madrid is also having good balance sheet at this moment. The possibilities to recruit some star players are still there.

[shogun47]

I see, but I would rule out a potential transfer of Haaland to Real Madrid in summer 2024 because Pep Guardiola has a contract that lasts until 2025, and really I can't in the slightest imagine that Haaland would leave Manchester City while he has the chance to be trained and trusted by Pep Guardiola to then play under a yet unknown trainer for Real Madrid. But whoever that trainer is, it won't get any better than with Pep Guardiola.

Since Real Madrid won't leave the center forward position vacant for almost another full 2 years, I believe that their, let's say effort allocation for targeted transfers is more like 85% Mbappe and 15% Haaland. Would you agree?

I partially agree.

I agree if Haaland would leave Manchester City and joining La Liga club, but this will not happen near next one or two year(s) because Manchester City is still in a good form. Without Gundongan, there's already a difference, what about Manchester is losing Walker and De Bruyne because they're not young anymore?

I think that's when Haaland will consider to leave Manchester City especially if they not win Premier League and Champions League.

No I don't think Haaland makes his own career path be dependent on players like Walker or De Bruyne. Haaland really is someone who pursues his own career plans. So does he want to break all Premier League records as a striker or would he rather play for several big clubs and is his dream to play for Real Madrid ever? I think for now he is very satisfied with his position at Manchester City and also his performances. After all it's a fact that the Premier League is the most attractive league in the world and becoming the most successful striker in the toughest league is a great goal to have. But that doesn't mean he won't ever change his mind at some point. He will also see what the coaches are doing and where he can work together with the best only. Guardiola now is the best.

Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland already knows that they're considered as the next biggest rivalry now that the era of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are almost over and that's why the two football stars wouldn't want to play in the same team so that no one will take either of the two players glory and give to the other especially on individual awards.
Real Madrid I believe are trying hard to sign a replacement for Karim Benzema but I don't think there's any possibility of both players joining the the club.

Screw Rudi Garcia he took Napoli from better to worse. They should have won that game Union Berlin during the Champions League, that game was clear evidence he'll be sacked. How can he lose to the worst club in Bundesliga this season. Last seasons Napoli would have dealt with em.
Antonio Conte rebuffed the offer, he won't be managing any club any time soon, he is spending quality time with his family right now.

Igor Tudor and Fabio Cannavaro, I ain't see nobody coaching before, but Napoli's Management have decided to go with Igor Tudor over Fabio Cannavaro. We'll see how the ride goes!

Garcia took over as Napoli coach in the summer after Spalletti’s decision to step away, signing a two-year contract. A clause was included which allows the club to terminate his contract next June should he be dismissed in his first campaign, If care is not taken Garcia might take this sweet Napoli side from top to bottom not even Mid.

 Look at them in the UCL and you feel so ashamed of the team, in the league they lost to Empoli a side which last season’s Napoli would thrash comfortably, I think after the loss to Empoli, Garcia should be in his way out of Italy entirely because if he continues I think Napoli will be lagging around 10th place on the log, well his replacement haven’t been secured and the spot is still open since Conte turned down offer.

 Let’s see what the board’s decision will be for the team in the coming hours as it’s crucial, maybe they could still pardon him since he's still in the top 4 position on the log currently.

[Leviathan.007]

From all the news that has been circulating about Mbappe's treatment of Real Madrid, I think I don't like Mbappe a little and my hope of wanting to see Mbappe go to Madrid has faded a little and I have more positive thoughts towards Haaland and maybe this news makes sense if it might give The pressure is on Mbappe, who seems to be the most expensive player and acts like that, and on the contrary, I currently have the thought that I hope Mbappe doesn't come to Madrid and is replaced by Haaland's transfer to Real Madrid.
This news has made most people in the know more convinced that the closeness between Real Madrid and Mbappe is actually not true and it seems like Real Madrid really has other alternative options and hopefully Haaland will be Real Madrid's target.

If Mbappe's move to Real Madrid fails, what makes you think Haaland will be Real Madrid's next target? Simply by looking, it is clear that Haaland will not be leaving Manchester City anytime soon. This is only his second season with the club, and he has been performing fantastically well, much to the delight of his teammates, coach, fans, and team management.

There hasn't even been a rumour about Haaland leaving this club, and I doubt it will happen even if Real Madrid expresses interest in him today. With his present form and the team he is playing for, he is capable of winning any trophy in Europe, as they are among the top teams in Europe after winning the treble last season. If Haaland will leave Manchester City, it will be later in his career, when he has spent more years with the club.

Real Madrid said before that they were not interested in hiring Mbappe from PSG and it seems Mbappe's case is closed for Real Madrid and they are interested in another player because Mbappe was really unstable and he couldn't choose Real Madrid mostly because of more money they offered him in PSG.
Now Alphonso Davies is the next target for Real Madrid but this young talent is a gem for Bayern Munich and they said Real Madrid should stop thinking about this player because they won't let Real Madrid hire him.

In fact, Real Madrid could get Haaland and Haaland could easily accept an offer from Real Madrid, but the question is that Kylian Mbappe also wants to come to Madrid, whereas Mbappe once rejected this offer so this is still an unsolved mystery as to who the player Madrid will bring in and it seems like Real Madrid is very careful in choosing striker players because I admit that Madrid is a big club with a very good historical record so they prefer to wait until there really are players who are ready to be contracted by Real Madrid but it seems that for now Haaland and Mbappe are the ones candidate players to be contracted by Real Madrid,
Ancelotti can now definitely confirm which players will really be recruited next summer, but Ancelotti chooses to act normally and not reveal things like this for fear of drama like last time.

Interesting news about from the Obi Mikel and Osimhen podcast which was stated by Fabrizio Romano.

Osimhen said he doesn't have a favorite team in the English league but he has a Chelsea and Man United jersey, then he said a lot of fans from Chelsea then Man United only a few fans, will this be a sign that he will go to Chelsea?

Then Obil Mikel said he knew you would come to Chelsea, let me be the agent who will mediate it.
From this statement we know there is at least a chance for Osimhen to go to the Premier League especially with rumors to Chelsea?

Football world right now want to know if Mbappe is an ambitious player who wants to play at the better and competitive league or just player with professional sense. staying at PSG only will make people forget his name later because that's not considered a top quality football by many people. He needs to make his own choice rather than just consulting with his agent for the sake of his better career.

This situation proves that people of football have so high hope to see and enjoy him plays at better competition. Real Madrid are the most linked club to him, even people start to think that Madrid are his only proper choice, because Madrid suits his profile as player and are willing to pay his high salary.

However, I think the benefits that Mbappe gets are a consideration why he still staying at PSG. These benefits are not money, but his freedom to ask management to do as what he wants. I remember rumors that Mbappe asked for conditions to release Neymar and Messi, if PSG wanted to keep them. This has come true, now he become the only one star player at PSG. I'm not sure he can get something like this if he move to other clubs. But I agree, the possibility of Mbappe getting the UCL trophy seems very difficult to realize. Because on several opportunity, the best was only to be runner up with PSG.
