⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Oluwa-btc]

The Manchester teams and Liverpool are all targeting to sign Joshua Kimmich as it seems. He has less than 2 years left on his contract at the moment. I wonder when Bayern Munich are planning to make a contract extension offer to him. Because I believe he is still one of the most important players of the team. He is a critical player in the midfield.

His current market value is 75 million euros by the way. I don't think Bayern Munich would drop down from this level. Are those teams really willing to sign him still? Especially Manchester United would make use of a solid defensive midfielder transfer while their defense is in bad shape.

I'll take this to be speculation, Liverpool needs a defender and not Joshua Kimmich. Besides, they're not in the Champions League how do you attract such a player? In the January Transfer Window? This is nowhere near close.
Two years not that bad bit tjis is a player that was integrated from the feeder team by Pep Guardiola. I don't believe he'll leave Bayern Munich for another club. He'll be a legend of Bayern Munich one day.

A move to Manchester United would hinder the development of Kobbie Mainoo, though they'll be needing experience alongside the young. He shouldn't consider the move to Manchester United. They shouldn't end his beautiful career.

Maybe they can attract his attention by the position they are at in the Premier League standings now. Because they are fighting for the league title you know. Even if they don't make it to the title it seems like they will have a ticket for the Champions League group stage at worst. If they make the offer to Kimmich at the end of the season it could be more attracting.

But Kimmich must already be happy at Bayern Munich now. They are winning the Bundesliga title like every season and they can do nice things in the Champions League too this season.

But they have Endo the former Stuggart player doing a great job for them in midfied, I don't know if they'll want to invest in him since Bayern Munich would be signing Fulham Paulina soon.
I know how German coaches love their midfielder's tall with heights, I doubt Thomas Tuchel would want to see Goreztka leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season or during the January Transfer Window beginning in the next few days. we'll definitely see what will happen.

I'd be tired and want a new challenge elsewhere if I was the won, back to back tittles for years? Man, I want a new challenge already. Lol.

Well, several big European team have brought in several young players who are under 20 years old and this is done because there is great potential in each young player, it just that it not easy to get young players who have potential and really need consideration.
Bringing in young players cannot immediately have good impact and make big contribution because there are only one or two young players who can immediately work well.
Two names that were previously mainstays were Mbappe and Haaland, several seasons ago they were young players with quite potential and now they have given proof to everyone.

Gabriel Moscardo is still 18 years old but I not sure he can become great player and be able to provide good performance for PSG.
Just look at him playing in the Brazilian Serie A not very well, even for only 20 million euros but if he fails to develop it will be very detrimental.

It's very much advantageous when a team is seeded with a number of young players that in their own way are doing really well for the club. It's every club's dream to excel in their dealings.
It's a bigger blessing when the squad is young, vibrant and growing. There's still hope for better and improved performances in coming years. The squad spirit won't just die off easily. And they'll learn to understand eachother as they grow together.

 Young players in European clubs only means that there's a future for the continental leagues. They only need the right hands to stay put and on track to perform better too.There are a number of clubs that's got in their camp promising players and yes they're doing exceedingly well. The teams are promising, they've got the right hands to guide them through. Cause not all coaches are capable of grooming these younger players to do better.

The fate of varane will be determining soon. I meant he was mentioning some clubs include real madrid and lens to be the last destination to finish his career in the football.

According to French outlet L’Equipe, Varane is open to leaving United and Lens are being considered one of the potential destinations after Real Madrid pulled out of the race to sign him to solve their defensive crisis. Notably, Varane had previously mentioned that Lens, along with United and Real Madrid, are the clubs where he envisions retiring.

“I will finish my career either in Madrid, or in Manchester, or in Lens,” Varane said back in March. “I will not move to another club [other than those]. But Madrid seems complicated to me. Players don’t usually go back there. The most likely outcome today is that I will finish [my career] in either Manchester or Lens.”

https://www.goal.com/en/lists/raphael-varane-shock-transfer-return-lens-man-utd/blt5f3c90e8ce931515#cs3e69cb4d3ca8fe1c


As you can read above varane has clearly said that if he may be joining in the lens after real madrid has been withdrawing itself from hunting him to solve the cntral back crisis. Varana appears to be one of strongest option owned by madrid caused by real madrid has known him so well but it seems the club was interesting to sign the new player. It sounds bad for varane caused by the chance of him to go to the real madrid is vanishing. Glad to see that lens is still interesting to recruit him as a new centre back. Varane was not getting enough time to play.
This has become his main consideration to leave from the club. Manchester united is not caring anymore about him. varane is good but not for his age caused by he had been wasting many years to stay int he real madrid.

Glad to see he was making the right decision here. Going to the lens become one of best solution for his future.

De Zerbi will go to Manchester City, next year or in the next 2 years.

Guardiola already "announced" him.

Lol, Pep is still around and he doesn't look set to leave City anytime soon, though anything can happen and Pep could leave earlier than he planned to, but we'll have to wait and see how things pan out. Roberto De Zerbi is doing a great job with Brighton and his pattern of playing is somewhat similar to what City play under Pep's management, so it is possible that he might one day succeed Pep, but quite a lot of things can happen from now until then, so don't be sure things will pan out in the way you predict it.

Positively, Pep and Manchester City go hand in hand. He probably won't leave any time soon, since things are going so well. His style has become deeply connected with City. Now, Roberto De Zerbi as a possible successor? What an interesting thought! I have been watching his work at Brighton, and you are right, the way they play is a lot like what you described. Yet, I'm not completely sold on the idea. Someone needs to step up and take Pep's place, and De Zerbi, despite being talented, hasn't been tried in a high-pressure setting like City. On top of that, there have been a lot of stories linking him to other big clubs, so it's not clear if he would even think about moving. I am not sure if it is time to call yet. Let's see what happens

For Man City, retaining Pep Guardiola is a fixed price to continue fighting for. However, without Pep intelligence, I don't guarantee that Man City players will perform brilliantly. I mean Pep will forever be Man City history in achieving achievements, so with good relations Man City will do everything they can. After all, they don't want to just let go of their winning trend. Even if Man City appears inconsistent in several matches, Pep Guardiola will not get a dismissal letter.

Guardiola is still interesting to extend his contract in the manchester city but this can also change with the goes of time. That totally depends on the numerous factor. Pep has been also hinting that if he will be staying at manchester city much longer than before. You can read this article for the further explanation about it.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/nov/27/pep-guardiola-hints-extending-manchester-city-contract-rb-leipzig

Pep may also change his mind but im sure that he is willing to stay in the manchester city as long as he can. The substantial number of trophies won by Manchester City during his tenure has likely contributed to his interest in staying with the club for an extended period.
Pep is pretty much the same like ferguson when he was still coaching manchester united. This is also my main reason to believe pe will not leave from there.

Manchester city sees him more than a coach but he was a general that was building the club from zero to hero. City can still exist till this time even though it had been getting lots of pressures.

[armanda90]

No coach will stay at one club forever, maybe not next season but certainly Pep Guardiola will leave Manchester City and his position will be replaced by another coach who of course has to be at his level because Manchester City is a big team not only because it has fantastic money but also has a role of Pep has been there for several seasons so he can make this club better than their city club Manchester United.
Of course, all fans have to thank Pep for what he has done over the past few seasons but that doesn't mean the club and Pep can't part ways, and their separation is just a matter of time, and hopefully when there is a change this club won't turn into something like Chelsea or Manchester United or also Arsenal a few seasons ago who seemed to be building from scratch.

All coach want to get challenge with several teams and try to make several record winning domestic league tittles more than several club, indeed get supported large financial for signing top players I don't sure with Pep Guardiola will stay with Manchester City in longer time. Pep will leave Manchester City one day later and he will find the excited challenge likely become Serie A head coach club or move to Ligue 1 because both top European competition still not try yet.
Currently Pep Guardiola have won domestic league tittle with three difference clubs from Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City. Pep won two Champion League tittle with two difference club Barcelona and Manchester City, I think will make new record winning third Champion League tittle with another difference club and get collected winning domestic league with four difference clubs.

But Kimmich must already be happy at Bayern Munich now. They are winning the Bundesliga title like every season and they can do nice things in the Champions League too this season.

It may be a little unlikely that Kimmich would be willing to join Liverpool because what he is looking for is also available at Bayern Munich.
Liverpool may be able to win the Premier League this season, but can they give Kimmich confidence that they will win the Champions League next season?
If not, maybe there is no difference between him staying at Bayern Munich or moving to Liverpool, because when it comes to the domestic league title, Bayern Munich can give him that.

Endure at Bayern Munich will provide an opportunity for Kimmich to become a mainstay player because there he is an important player.
But if he moves then the main thing he has to do is compete with other players to be the main player at all times and the Premier League is quite competitive and he could lose his place in the first team if he fails to play optimally.

Even if Man City appears inconsistent in several matches, Pep Guardiola will not get a dismissal letter.

The foundation that Pep Guardiola has built is a solid foundation, if they want to replace Pep then they must bring in a coach who also has a football philosophy that is not much different from Pep. Manchester City will definitely be very grateful to Pep because in his hands Manchester City can finally get their first Champions League title.
One thing that is a habit of Pep, when he is successful with one team, then he no longer wants to stay long in that team, such as Bayern Munich and Barcelona. He will look for new challenges, especially now that he is very calm about leaving Manchester City, because their main target has been achieved.

[red4slash]

I think if Pep doesn't want to go, Manchester City management won't send him. If the city of Manchester is remembered with the blue team today, it is thanks to Pep. His reading of the game is at a high level. Even though they fell behind with some questionable referee decisions, they can become a candidate for the championship again with a winning streak like last year.

If Pep leaves Manchester City, every club in the world will open the door for him. But if Pep leaves Manchester City, Manchester City will not be able to sign a manager of Pep's quality. I think if that happens, Manchester City will be the losers. But I don't think Pep will leave Manchester City because Manchester City is one of the best clubs in the world and Pep is respected there. I don't think Pep can find a better club at this stage.

Previously in previous seasons we had heard that Pep wanted to leave Manchester City because at that time he always failed in the Champions League but last season it made a difference because his decision to stay proved very good and the first trophy in the Champions League they finally got.

Now the situation is different because although Manchester City will definitely try to keep him at the Etihad but in the end all decisions are in Pep's hands.
We know that he leaves sometimes unexpectedly. He had a very good season at Barcelona but suddenly he decided to go to Bayern. He was also very comfortable at Bayern but suddenly decided to be at Manchester City so the same possibility as in Pep's previous 2 clubs can still happen for Manchster City but for now I don't want to expect it to happen because Manchester City are just at the peak of their momentum last season so when Pep leaves then this will be bad for Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola will stay until his contract ends and after that he will take another step to lead the team in any league he wants. Pep Guardiola was successful at Barcelona, although he did not succeed in bringing Bayer Munich to the Champions League title and while coaching Man City he again managed to win three titles in one season. I hope he can face new challenges in the French League and Italian League so that he has a good record when he chooses to retire as a coach.

The challenge of bringing Italian and French league clubs to win the Champions League will not be as easy as in the leagues he has coached, but he needs to try if he wants to show his abilities. It was interesting when Pep Guardiola was willing to accept offers from these two leagues because he would prove his ability to coach.

I won't be surprised if Pep Guardiola leaves in coming season to another league or club where they have a champions league spot, because one thing is the club owners of Manchester city also have Girona as theirs and with the performance the club Girona has put up in their league division, it is likely they get to secure a champions league spot while Manchester city has to not.
That is, One of the two teams only can qualify and partake in the champions league tournament. So if Pep has plans to manage another side, it's a wise choice or he could stay a few seasons more and hope that Girona doesn't finish on top spot in their league this season, thereby cementing their spot in the champions league next season.

He loves a challenge and if his goal is to lead a French club to Champions League glory, then Paris Saint Germain is most likely his next destination. Paris Saint Germain is a club that currently has everything, it's just that they can't compete in the Champions League, it's definitely a huge challenge for any coach to be able to bring this club to the championship. But at the moment I have not heard of Paris Saint Germain maneuvering to approach this one coach, or they could move quietly.
He has given everything to Manchester City, including something they have been chasing all along. But Manchester City itself will definitely be difficult to part with him, because they will find it difficult to find a suitable replacement.

Yes, I agree with you because I don't think he is going anywhere. He is going to stay with Manchester City. And maybe people might say that he has already achieved quite enough with Manchester City. But I think he is actually going to stay and try to prove himself more. Because people did want to see him actually defend the English Premier League title and the Champions League title successfully this season. But I am not so sure if he will actually be able to do that or not. Maybe that is the challenge he is actually trying to be successful at, I'm not sure.

But anyway I do not think he is actually going anywhere before his contract ends.

Every player has that one essentiality in a team and it also depends on how solidly grounded you are with the team. There are teams with a number of old time players who's been in the team for years and then have gain enough grounds and achievements for the team, then been bestowed with the deserving respect to by the team because of the confidence in his abilities. Kimmich is one man that's been with Munich and has scaled through hurdles with them.

 They understand his capacity and won't fail to give him the right spot in the team. His move to a new team no doubt would bring for him exposure and a while new different environment but not forgetting that it won't be as rosy as it already is for him. There, he'd start all over with giving the right impressions and proving his worth before building a good amount of confidence to deserve fully the right spot in this new club. So not opting for any of the options, it's his decision to make but which ever way, there are advantages and disadvantages too.

The transfer window is almost in few days time,and teams have started looking at some possible signings that they can make  in order to improve on their squad depth.Some of the teams have already seen whom they want to spend their money on,while some are still scouting for players.Arsenal is one of those teams looking for a striker that can fit their pattern of play,and if they can get a player like Osimhen,then they might have gotten a high profile player that can make them win the premier league and the Champions league.However,Ivan Toney is seen as a possibility,and if they can get him,I think they would have a chance in winning the premier league.

Talking about Arsenal who will try to make an offer to Osimhen I don't seem sure if Osimhen can be brought to Arsenal because the price is very high and on the one hand Napoli actually don't want to sell this player and this is what I know from several people who say about this too said the same thing.
Nothing is impossible, that's true, but still several big clubs also want this player, such as Liverpool and Real Madrid, but there is no certainty and what is certain is that it will be difficult to bring in Osimhen before his contract at Napoli approaches the end.

To be honest I don't see Kimminch leaving for the Premier League or any other club in the world right now. Actually, I think Kimminch is very happy at the moment with Bayern Munich right now and he is doing very fine. He may stay there until he retires or leave it a few years before he retires.

You know, there is a risk that if he joins any club in Premier League, he may not be able to perform like he is right now and then lose his form forever. So it should be best for him if he stays at Bayern Munich.

Pardon me but I think Osimhen just got his contract with Napoli extended to 2026? How comes he extend it then join another club? In addition he isn't shining with Napoli like he was doing the previous season so less clubs will be interested with a player like him. In the beginning of the season there were tensions between him and the club, at a point we thought he will leave. Later the situation seemed to be fixed then contract extension by two years and a half?

No coach can stay permanently with a club. One day he will definitely change his destination; either he will leave or the club will not be satisfied with his performance, then the coach will be dismissed from the club. Despite Pep, he neither prefers to leave himself nor does he have such a poor level of performance that he is asked to sack off or leave. Yep, this is true that sometimes, due to some shortfall in performance, one should not ignore all the top performances because, if I know Manchester City, then it is the blessing of Pep that he made Manchester City able to win the UEFA Champions League. When it comes to competition, Manchester City is among the top And more than that, it made it possible that when it comes to the UCL winning list, Manchester City is also mentioned as having won UCL under the coach of Pep.

So, Manchester City should not close its eyes on all these virtues, but should appreciate that what is the hallmark of Manchester City is that it is all because of Pep that they exposed Man City to world-class tactics and all. Won some UCL, Premier League, etc.
