⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[cengsuwuei]

I didn't know Raphael Varane had a condition on his contract to extend his contract by one more year. However Manchester United don't seem to be keen on activating this condition. They really seem determined to let him go for now. I don't know how Varane's performance dropped this much and came to the point of parting ways with him.

That injury of him must have had a serious affect though. But I still don't expect him to be like this all the time from now on. If he is given more time he can improve his performance. If the Red Devils let him go anyway maybe we can see Real Madrid going for him. Because they are in need of a defender these days after the recent injuries emerged.

Varane has a bad relationship with Eric Ten Hag, of course Varane will not have his contract extended.
It is certain that at the end of the season, or winter transfer in January 2024, Varane will be released.
But I see no one is interested in proposing varane. maybe the Saudi Arabian clubs are interested in him.

Varane has been a very great defender to Manchester United since he joined them and I didn’t expect that his performance will get to a lower point that another defender will be needed to replace him. I don’t see his situation that worse and I think Manchester United can still manage and groom him back to the club with good performance that he has before.

That injury of him must have had a serious affect though. But I still don't expect him to be like this all the time from now on. If he is given more time he can improve his performance. If the Red Devils let him go anyway maybe we can see Real Madrid going for him. Because they are in need of a defender these days after the recent injuries emerged.

Do you think Real Madrid will still go for their former defender Varane, after how his performance is rated now at Manchester United that they want to let him go? Real Madrid needs defender now because of injury that affected the team in the defense area, now bringing a player that has been affected by injury in his former club which led to his reduced performance is not something I think the club will consider in this critical time.

Varane is free to speak with clubs outside of England, with pre-contract talks now a possibility, and the Manchester Evening News reports that the former France international is undecided on whether he would accept a reduced offer in order to remain in Manchester.

There was an update regarding the future of him in the manchester united. Varane has not yet decided whether he would be agree to reduce his salary then he can stay in manchester united much longer. Varane can also leave from there as free agent.
There may be some clubs are interested to sign him as new defenders. He had been linked to the real madrid talk a few weeks ago but it's all disappeared in a short time. Varana shall decide which thing that is going to be taken by him.

Varane was playing perfectly in the last game and the club needs also to put more effort coz they think that if varane shall decrease his salary on manchester united.
United seems not interested to extend his contract and he can leave from there as free agent. It will be helping him so much caused by varane may be having other considerations.

I prefer to see him join in another club.

Saudi Arabia are coming for the Frenchman, would he resists the incoming gigantic offer from one of these SPL clubs? Raphael Varane have achieved the important trophies he would as a player and also a key man in Manchester United after making a move from Real Madrid. It happens he's not enjoying football in Old Trafford, from injuries and getting benched by the coach who's very strict and take the slightest chance to punish his players by denying them chances to explore their capacity on the pitch. He just know how to deal with his players that don't align pretty good with him.

FCBInside, a site that is usually very well informed about FC Bayern, reports that Xabi Alonso is to succeed Thomas Tuchel after Real Madrid extended Angelotti's contract. Although Alonso still has a contract with Leverkusen until 2026, he would be free to leave the club if he could move to one of his former clubs. It could be as early as the summer if Tuchel does not achieve the goals that are expected of him.

It seems like varane has lost his faith in the manchester united. The better for him to leave from there in the summer. There's no need to put a lot of hopes to the manchester united. This club is still playing so garbage and varana was not a part of dream team planned by ten hag.
He was only wasting his time if he stays in the club much longer than before. His contract with manchester united has not yet ended and you will be seeing some clubs may be trying to propose him in summer once he will be officially free agent.

Varane has dedicated a significant amount of time to his career at Real Madrid, and it would be truly remarkable if there were no interest in acquiring his services. The team can sign him for free which is good. i will not believe if varana will be jobless.
Additionally, he has the option to consider offering his services to the Saudi Pro League, and I am confident that there will be several Saudi Pro League clubs who will be interested in approaching him in the near future.

Yesterday, January 1 2024, the player transfer market for three leagues opened, namely the Premier League, Bundesliga and Ligue 1. And it will close on February 1. Meanwhile, the transfer market for Serie A and Laliga has also officially opened today, January 2 2024 and will close on February 1 2024.

I hope there will be a big transfer in the middle of this season. Even though it may not involve the main players in a club, many players who are starting to be marginalized at their current club will definitely take advantage of this to go to a new club. For example, Jadon Sancho is reportedly feuding with Erik Ten Heg. And it seems his future at Man United is also unclear. So I think this player will be the player who warms up the transfer market this time. On the one hand, Man United is also targeting midfielders to strengthen their squad. But I haven't received any news about the players being targeted.

Manchester United refused to activate a contract extension with the Manchester United centre back, so if he end up leaving Manchester United when his contract expires, I thinks there will be clubs interested in bringing him to club because Raphaël Varane potential is still not over yet, after all, he is not too old. So he is still needs by other clubs with his experience joined big clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester United, in fact it would be like he was wasting times if he continue to stay there because Erik Ten Hag doesn't really needs him so at least he has to be patient to waiting for his contract to expires and leave the club.

Yes, because he has joined that club, I thinks it is impossible if no one is interested in him. Indeed, his performance looked normal when he was at Real Madrid and at Manchester United, but his experienced may be needs when he is at a club that is below their standart and maybe if he goes to The Saudi Arabian club looks like he will be well received there and that is also very good for future profit because in Saudi Arabia he will probably get a bigger salary.

Some of players at Premier league will leave their teams because they will defend their national team at African Cup including Manchester United who possibly will lost Andre Onana for next 1 month because he will defend Cameroon so Ten Hag was demand new goalkeeper because if Andre Onana leave then Manchester United don't have experience goalkeeper at their squad and rumour is Manchester United has showing their interest to Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel and Ten Hag feel Ivan Provedel will be suitable as the replacement of Andre Onana and so far Provedel hasn't respond to this rumour but some people thought this transfer will be difficult to realized because Provedel is important player and he is Lazio main goalkeeper so Lazio might be will hold this player to leave but everything still possible to happend so let see whether Manchester United will gets this player or not

[rendravolt]

As was revealed several weeks ago, Donny van De Beek has finally officially joined Frankfurt on loan until the end of this season. The news is quite surprising because we have barely seen his performance at Manchester United for half this season and he made the right decision by joining Frnakfurt. At least he will start getting regular minutes with Frankfurt and try to give his best performance. Even though his performance is quite doubtful, at least he can prove that Manchester United have misjudged him.

Source: https://twitter.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1741784625184166068

Yeah, he atleast now has the chance to prove that he has the calibre to play for big teams. With United it was doubt from the beginning with all the players in midfield. It's tough for a player to come in a big team with fierce competition for the playing. With Frankfurt, it's also still not clear if he will get starting minutes in all the games but it is for sure that he will get at least decent amount of chances as compared to situation at Untied where it was none.

Since changing coaches, Van de Beek's future is unclear and because of that he seems to be an outcast in the Manchester United squad. I don't know why Manchester United don't just let him go as a permanent transfer if they no longer really need him in the squad and whether they are just in case if Van de Beek proves his performance has improved then they can take him again. The reason is that the situation is similar to what Mason Greenwood faced considering his impressive performance with Getafe and it is possible that the Red Devils do not want to lose him and are trying to lure him back.

On the other hand, there is Lucas Beraldo who was also officially announced to join PSG today and as a young talent from Brazil it is hoped that he can help PSG's defense line become stronger. As a defender, that is of course what coach Luis Enrique wants and with the increasingly busy competition schedule starting in 2024, he certainly hopes that Lucas Beraldo will be a good solution for the team.

Source: https://twitter.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1741810623933992985

I feel that this signing is somewhat like one for the future and not for the regular squad. They already have good no. of players in defence so I think Beraldo right into regular defence lineup scene is doubtful. Maybe in future he will be regular but as of now there are lot of options that I feel Luis Enrique will give priority over Beraldo.

Well, at least PSG didn't lose Beraldo and they immediately secured his services because we know teams like Liverpool were interested in signing him too. But it is true that here PSG has full power to carry out the transfer from Sau Paulo. He has to endure waiting for his regular turn and at least be able to adapt to the environment, which is what he needs now at PSG. I hope his choice to join the Paris capital team is not something he will regret one day.

Van De Beek has officially been loaned to Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt, after having difficulty competing for United main squad to play regularly. In other news, Varane is currently in discussions regarding his contract which will expire at the end of the season. if Varane is not willing to reduce his salary then United will let him go on a free transfer at the end of the season.

We know that Ten Hag is improving The Red Devils defense line, several names are being linked. We also can't forget that last january the recruitment of players like Mason Mount was quite bad, Ten Hag has to be really selective in recruiting new players.

I still think that Van De Beek could have been used a lot more properly and not getting any minutes is a managerial terrible decision. These type of decisions are the reason why I think that ETH could be fired one day, I am not sure when, but he has made a lot of bad decisions regarding roster choices since he got there.

What I believe is that he is a good manager when it comes to tactics, he is doing the very best with what he has, people think that he is bad because he is a bad manager when it comes to on pitch moves, but the reality is that his team was overspent but not as talented as the money they spent.

Like Onana, who has done terrible, or like Hojlund who they paid so much and yet he scored not even that much at Serie A or like Antony who was bought for so much and they are trying to get rid of him. Those all matter, and he had fingers on every single one of them.

That's going to happen only if xabi will be agreed to join in the bayern munich but it's not yet clear whether alonso was willing to leave from leverkusen before his contract will end. Im doubting xabi to leave from leverkusen earlier if he will able to get a lot of achievements with leverkusen.
So, bayern has prepared itself to sack tuchel once he will not be able to deliver for the club this season? that's a harsh hand from bayern. Tuchel may be in a very big pressure at this moment. It seems his position is not yet safe at all.

Did kane's transfer give another burden to him? I meant since bayern has spent a lot of money and the club needs the manager to deliver more for bayern. Another big challenge is awaiting him.

[Strongkored]

Is it possible that Lazio will release this key player? Even with the main goalkeeper Lazio is not performing very well this season and has conceded quite a lot of goals, especially if they let go of their main goalkeeper and their reserve goalkeeper turns out to be unable to play better, it will certainly make their position in Serie A even more difficult.
However, anything is possible because usually, Manchester United will make a tempting offer if they really want a player, especially if his presence is quite crucial in the team because without Onana and only relying on a backup goalkeeper for a month will make it difficult for Manchester United to get points in some tight matches, and money can often change things.

[hyudien]

Real Madrid seems to remain firm in its stance not to recruit new players, especially to fill the back line this season. Ancelotti relies on existing players or indeed Anelcelotti does not want his current stability to be disturbed by dealing with the adaptation of new players. In my opinion, additional options are important when financial conditions are favorable, but there is no harm for Madrid if they are able to bring in new players who can fill gaps in the back line. Ancelotti placed Nacho and Rüdiger as center backs, then his options were Tchouaméni and Carvajal.

What do you think? Can Madrid afford to rely on limited players? By facing a busy schedule, players are definitely required to remain in top condition. Isn't it ideal that having anticipation could be a solution? Next month restarts the UCL and Madrid doesn't take advantage of the transfer window?

With the current conditions I still feel confident if Tuchel can give the 2nd Bundesliga title this season. But for the UCL, I'm a little pessimistic. Because there are many other great clubs that are ready to compete with Bayern Munich. So if they see the basis of the UCL champion then it is quite difficult. But if later Munich sacked Tuchel, I think it's not the best solution. At least 2-3 years is the best time to evaluate. Changing coaches in a short time is also not good.

In my opinion, it would be a wrong decision if Munich just fired Tuchel just because they saw that Alonso was able to provide the best achievements for Bayer Leverkusen at this time, at least Munich should hold back and see if Alonso can win the Bundesliga title with Bayer Leverkusen which means he is better than Tuchel.
Well, just Munich decided to fire Tuchel and appoint him as coach. However, in my opinion, Tuchel is a coach who has a lot of experience compared to Alonso, so my suggestion is that it is better to keep Tuchel at least until we see Munich's achievements this season. Changing coaches may not necessarily suit Munich's style of play.

Mason greenwood once again become the main topic in la liga. It's caused by some clubs have been sending their interest to recruit him as new managers.

Atletico Madrid have reportedly joined Barcelona in the race to sign Mason Greenwood, with transfer talks opened with Manchester United.

https://www.goal.com/en/lists/atletico-madrid-mason-greenwood-transfer-talks-beat-barcelona-race-man-utd-outcast/blt094bb59b8b3ea9b2

According to the goal if barcelona and real madrid have interest to recruit him as the new attacker since greenwood has very cheap price and he can also contribute a lot as long as he will be well developed by the coach.
It seems like that manchester united still holds the interest from those clubs caused by manchester united unlikely try to sell him at the cheap price. I expect MU to force those clubs to pay a lot of money for him.

The reason for Mason being sent on loan to La Liga was his conflict with the internal affairs of Manchester United, which we knew about. Im gonna wait which club that will get him soon.

Barcelona is having interest caused by greewood is an experienced player and he may be probably cheap enough.

[Belarge]

Unexpected elite clubs have enter the race to sign Mason Greenwood from Manchester United, he's on a loan deal in Getafe and he would possibly return back to England after his contract expires. Getafe enjoyed the English man stellar performance this season and he will continue to portrayed more significance display to forward his career after it almost ended. Mason Greenwood have really shown that he's back to form and he's keen on scoring important goals for Getafe and the supporters and teammates knows what he can do when he's with the ball, having incredible footings and accuracy in shots.

[NotATether]

Unexpected elite clubs have enter the race to sign Mason Greenwood from Manchester United, he's on a loan deal in Getafe and he would possibly return back to England after his contract expires.

He's not going back to an English club, that would be a PR disaster for them if he signed there.

That's going to happen only if xabi will be agreed to join in the bayern munich but it's not yet clear whether alonso was willing to leave from leverkusen before his contract will end. Im doubting xabi to leave from leverkusen earlier if he will able to get a lot of achievements with leverkusen.
So, bayern has prepared itself to sack tuchel once he will not be able to deliver for the club this season? that's a harsh hand from bayern. Tuchel may be in a very big pressure at this moment. It seems his position is not yet safe at all.

Xabi will not leave Leverkusen next season, because he signed a new contract with them that runs until 2026.

Although the "old clubs poaching" clause exists so he could theoretically jump ship to Bayern if he ever wanted before then, but also to Real Madrid or Liverpool.

It would be hilarious if Bayern and Kane end up winning no trophies this season though.

Some of players at Premier league will leave their teams because they will defend their national team at African Cup including Manchester United who possibly will lost Andre Onana for next 1 month because he will defend Cameroon so Ten Hag was demand new goalkeeper because if Andre Onana leave then Manchester United don't have experience goalkeeper at their squad and rumour is Manchester United has showing their interest to Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel and Ten Hag feel Ivan Provedel will be suitable as the replacement of Andre Onana and so far Provedel hasn't respond to this rumour but some people thought this transfer will be difficult to realized because Provedel is important player and he is Lazio main goalkeeper so Lazio might be will hold this player to leave but everything still possible to happend so let see whether Manchester United will gets this player or not

I don't think Lazio will  allow their main goal keeper leave at this point of the season. It could also mean that ETH want to bring in an experienced player who will rival Onana. Onana need a serious competition for that position so he won't be making some costly mistakes he has been doing since the start of the season.
