⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[rendravolt]

Regarding Jadon Sancho's future, he is now starting to enter a new phase and as we know, previously there were rumors that Dortmund were interested in buying him again from Manchester United, but on the other hand, it looks like it will only be on loan. Maybe Dortmund are not completely sure whether Jadon Sancho can contribute fully to Dortmund with his current performance and if you look at the difference since he left Dortmund several years ago, it is clear that his decline has been significant. But in these discussions Dortmund is also willing to cover Jadon Sancho's salary.

Apart from that, previously there were also rumors that Juventus were also interested in bringing in Jadon Sancho on loan and it seems that now the competition to get Jadon Sancho in the January transfer window will be led by these two teams. Well, because the problems between Jadon Sancho and Erik Ten Hag have not yet reached a peaceful point, at least this would be a good option for his career rather than continuing to be absent at Manchester United.

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?

I think what they are doing right now is just fine, and if they can keep it up then they will face no problem. But my question is can they keep it up? If you look at the injury list right now it is quite big. There are some key players in that list. Vinicius Jr. , Rodrygo, Camavinga, Tchameni, Alaba and many more. They started the season without a proper number 9 as well. Joselu is there I know but I wonder if he will be enough. He can perform against low tier teams in La Liga but in UCL against Leipzig and upcoming other strong opponents, I don't know. But either way, I trust Ancelotti and I believe in his plans.

[len01]

At Real Madrid, they have a strong liking for Xabi Alonso's potential as a head coach, and they believe that sooner or later, he will take on the role at Real Madrid. Recently, Real Madrid extended Ancelotti's contract until 2026. It will be delayed Xabi will leave his current club for Madrid before 2026. Summing up the substantial timeframe, he might consider moving to one of his former clubs during this period. Anything is possible, and Xabi Alonso has certainly earned the opportunity to work with a top team as a head coach.

ahat is certain is that both parties are equally defending the position of their coach. I mean like Leverkusen will retain their coach at least until the end of the season or several seasons to come and also Real Madrid will retain Ancelotti to continue bringing the team to get the UCL title even though Real Madrid really want to get Xabi but at least they will be more patient in waiting for the next few seasons .

[QueenVera]

Referring to the link report shared above, I did not find any official statement that Xabi Alonso will replace Thomas Tuchel. on the same page, the big boss of Bayern Munich only included Xabi Alonso's name on their wish list. that's the scenario if Thomas Tuchel fails to bring Bayern Munich to a title, especially the Bundusliga title which he usually has in recent years. so, I think this is just an ordinary rumor which is not necessarily true. if that is the case, it is not certain that Xabi Alonso will be willing to become head coach at Bayern Munich next summer. although, actually Xabi has an agreement with Leverkusen that he can move at any time according to the agreement with the club.

From the same source, it seems this rumor is circulating after Don Carlo extended his contract at Santiago Bernabeu. then, BILD reported that even though Alonso has extended his contract with Leverkusen until 2026, it is not impossible that he will leave the club at the end of the season. well, things like that could happen, especially if Thomas Tuchel fails to make Bayern Munich better. regarding Kane, I don't think that's the situation. in fact, previously, the club really wanted Kane's services to join Bayern Munich. maybe it could be due to other factors, or the most logical thing would be if Tuchel failed. but I still have great confidence that in the end Bayern will return to the top of the Bundesliga standings. I'm sure it's only a matter of time, so let's wait and enjoy as football fans.

With everything that's happened in the German league from the start of the season till now. I'm certain that it won't be an easy ride for Munich. Alonso is making the manager's seat hot for him and Tuchel is striving to be meaningful to the team more than he currently is. The team won't want to be submissive to Leverkusen that just came out of the blue, even though it's really not a criteria for Tuchel's job to be retained, he just has to make the team stand out and prevail against Munich.

 The two sides are currently in thesame range and tempo and assuredly, the next few weeks would be heated up for the Bundesliga as both teams would take every game extremely serious.Tuchel has to regain Munich's pride, there's chance for him to do so, he just needs extra effort while hoping on a little of Leverkusen's back slide.

Signing prominent players for Bayer Leverkusen will strengthen their team and improve their performance on the pitch. Bayer Leverkusen patient enough for their prime and Xabi Alonso leading them to road to trophy, they've grown to become a full competitive team for Bayern Munich. Bundesliga title will definitely go to Bayer Leverkusen only if they're able to maintain their unbeaten run in the system. Bayer Leverkusen coach, Xabi Alonso have become acquainted with Bayer Leverkusen and he's not ready yet to leave his position as headcoach, there's existence of possible links to other clubs.

[EL MOHA]

At Real Madrid, they have a strong liking for Xabi Alonso's potential as a head coach, and they believe that sooner or later, he will take on the role at Real Madrid. Recently, Real Madrid extended Ancelotti's contract until 2026. It will be delayed Xabi will leave his current club for Madrid before 2026. Summing up the substantial timeframe, he might consider moving to one of his former clubs during this period. Anything is possible, and Xabi Alonso has certainly earned the opportunity to work with a top team as a head coach.

Seriously I was one of those anticipating a Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid reunion because I didn’t see this Ancelloti’s contract extension as a possibility with the news surrounding then that he had agree with Brazil on being their next head coach now a renewal till 2026. This year is a bit far to me because that’s like two full season again and with Alonso potential and what he is displaying at Bayer Leverkusen then it will be hard that there wouldn’t be a offer from another club then. His past three clubs that are his dream to coach are not actually needing his services at the moment. Liverpool seems too comfortable with Juergen Klopp and If he even wins the league now again then a new contract extension will be handed over to him. The only past club he could coach is the Bayern Munich because since Tuchel arrival, the club hasn’t stand on the position that they want and a turn of fortune mostly will mean he could lose his Job and they sign Alonso.

[Ndabagi01]

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.

What can we expect from Thomas Tuchel as Bayern Munich's manager? Is it winning the Champions League and the Bundesliga at the same time? This should be the most they can ask of him, and they should threaten to fire him if he fails to meet both. If not, Thomas Tuchel is doing well at Bayern Munich, and the team's situation has not reached the point where it is unbearable to handle; they still have a lot of hope, just like the other teams that are also strong contenders for the Champions League and the Bundesliga.

So having Xabi Alonso in mind as a replacement for Thomas Tuchel is because he is currently leading the team in the standings which he may likely win at the end and if he later joins them, they will be able to win the Bundesliga next season after this one. This should be their expectation for having Xabi Alonso in mind as a replacement for Thomas Tuchel if he does not achieve what they want from him this season.

Even Enrique seems tried to talk about Mbappe and he is not going to talk about this player however Mbappe is an effective player for PSG and obviously if he leaves the team this won't be easy for Enrique to find a replacement for this French player easily.
Currently, Real Madrid is not the only teams that want to hire Mbappe but other than Real Madrid, Liverpool is also interested in hiring Mbappe during January.

I can't remember that correctly but someone has posted the news related to the new player to be a replacement for mbappe. If shall not need to compare this new player with mbappe as mbappe was one of greatest of all time. Enrique will be missing him so much caused by sometimes mbappe alone was carrying the club. PSG will be missing the most important player in the club and this reminds me when messi and neymar were there. They were also carrying the club together but mbappe is going to be the last one who will leave from the club as soon as possible.

Im not feeling so damn good with it but enrique has been trying to talk with him so many times. Mbappe will choose his own fate then we can only put a lot of respect toward his choice to continue his career as a football players.
This one of best player was always giving a lot of contribution to the club. Mbappe really needs a good club that help him to develop his performance in the field. Madrid was the only sense choice for him now.

[Leviathan.007]

It seems Liverpool is now accepting the fact that they are going to lose Salah soon and that's why Liverpool is trying to find a replacement for this player. Since Salah is an effective player in Liverpool finding an alternative player can't be easy for them but Liverpool is trying to make a list of players they can have to fill the place of Salah in this team.
The young player of Crystal Palace, Michael Olise is their first option and currently, this player is linked to Liverpool.
However, that won't be easy for Liverpool because Chelsea and Manchester City are both interested in hiring this player.

Currently, Real Madrid is not the only teams that want to hire Mbappe but other than Real Madrid, Liverpool is also interested in hiring Mbappe during January.

Enrique probably will try to talk with him to ensure him to stay in PSG. But I believe Mbappe already decided his future to play as a Real Madrid player. 2024 is the perfect time to leave PSG because Mbappe's contract expires and there will be no obstacle to move. So, whatever Enrique says, it is unlikely for Mbappe to stay a longer time with PSG. There is no future to achieve with PSG, PSG isn't a capable club to win UCL title. If Mbappe still dreams to win UCL title, he must leave PSG in this year.

Actually, there are many clubs interested to sign Mbappe. But Mbappe seems to choose Real Madrid because it is his dream.

Another update regarding guirassy's transfer. Bayern has been reportedly interesting to recruit him as a partner for kane. It's amazing to see that we will see the duet between kane and guirassy. I can't even wait for this to be real soon.
Bayern seems try to make sure stuttgart will be losing its key player than the club will not able to compete at the top positions. This is amazing strategy from bayern by killing its competitor through buying their players.

I do support guirassy to join in the bayern munich instead of manchester united caused by guirass will able to play in the UCL along with kane anytime without even worrying it.
The fact that Bayern Munich has been dominating the Bundesliga was a crucial consideration for him when deciding to join Bayern instead of other clubs who were also pursuing Guirassy.

Guirassy has drawn a host of admirers after shining for Stuttgart in the Bundesliga. The 27-year-old has scored 17 goals in the German top flight, meaning only Harry Kane has outscored him in the league so far this season. Bayern have now joined the race for his signature and could be willing to pay the £15.1 million (€17.5/$19m) release clause in his contract, according to The Sun.

I hope guirassy will be smart enough for not to destroy his career in manchester united.

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?

I think Ancelotti might be too confident if he doesn't recruit more players for his extremely thin defensive line. Perhaps they are putting all their efforts into the Mbappe deal, and they also want the media to pay more attention to this deal. In the coming time, we might hear about additional names for the defensive line because I don't think Real Madrid will perform well with just center-backs Nacho, Rudiger, and the makeshift defender Aurelien Tchouameni until the end of the season, especially in the Champions League matches.

The defensive line of real madrid was not as bad as you think. Real madrid have been concering goals against the strong clubs and this is a common thing and it doesn't even mean recruit the new player will become the main answer to strengthen the defenders of real madrid. There shall be a lot of considerations to be taken before try to recruit the new player. It's caused by you are also gambling with the performance from the player as well. I remind you how real madrid lost a lot when it was getting hazard from chelsea. Recruiting the new player doesn't mean if he can play good in the squad in a short time.

There will always be process to make it happen and new player needs to pass it step by step. You shall need to understand the condition if your team. Adding someone in the club sometimes can give bad effect to your team as well
This may be the main reason why ancellotti was never rushing to get a new player. It's caused by he was always thinking about it many times. Ancellotti is not the same like other coach which was blindly buying the player then they got scammed.

I agree with you, Ancelotti is trying to be a little patient and continue to believe in the players he has. But on the other hand, player limitations can also narrow the choices. I know that the public concern about Madrid players at the moment is the condition of players who are active in and out due to injury. One after another and creates an unstable game. Ancelotti can still control the game but not always in favorable situations. The challenges in the UCL Competition are getting tougher, when all clubs are trying to improve their squad by adding new strengths what Madrid is doing is the opposite.

Again, Madrid is still Madrid a club that always has its own way of dealing with problems within the squad. Ancelotti has big plans that we don't understand. Even though they are teetering Madrid can still sit at the top of the La Liga standings and that is the current fact.

If Mbappe still dreams to win UCL title, he must leave PSG in this year.

Actually, there are many clubs interested to sign Mbappe. But Mbappe seems to choose Real Madrid because it is his dream.

Luis Enrique will definitely try to defend Mbappe like last season, and of course this will be drama that repeats itself second time.
I know that Mbappe will not be able to play well if he is constantly in pressure position that makes him uncomfortable, what more, Mbappe no longer has any hopes with PSG or it could be said that the Ligue 1 title is just the best title that Mbappe can have.
Regarding various rumors circulating, there are quite lot of team that are linked with Mbappe, not only Real Madrid but also Bayern Munich, who have stated that they will try to make an offer to Mbappe to join there.
However, we don't know whether Tuchel will actually make this offer or not because he doesn't mind bringing in Mbappe, which means having to be prepared for budget that will of course be used in large amounts.
I think Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are two suitable team for Mbappe to develop and regain his glory like in 2018, Mbappe will be able to win many titles with one of these two team, including the UCL title if he decides to leave PSG.

Mbappe himself is still considered young player, he is still the key to success for PSG and if in the future Mbappe joins the right team then he can really make his dreams come true by winning more titles and becoming one of the best players.
Mbappe wants to be goat, he also wants to be player who has won many Ballon d'Or titles.

I hope guirassy will be smart enough for not to destroy his career in manchester united.

Bayern Munich under Tuchel was often to used 1 centre striker into their formation with Muller as attacking midfielder and Musiala or Sané as the winger so if i am not mistaken Tuchel was rare to used 2 striker for the particular matches and indeed if Guirassy moved to Bayern Munich he can adapt quickly because Guirassy already know the atmosphere of Bundesliga but i fear if he really moved to Bayern Munich Tuchel will used him as substitution player for Kane because just like i said above Tuchel habit is always using 1 striker for each matches and Kane will always being an first choice for the striker

Because his fantastic performance during this season Guirassy was linked to plenty of clubs and besides Manchester United now Tottenham, Milan and Newcastle also showing their interest to him even Bayern Munich is joining the race to gets him too so i am curious to know which club will Guirassy choose but indeed it's time for him to leave Stuttgart and moved to big clubs

Mbappe is still committing to leave from there. As you can see that many times mbappe rejected PSG's offer to extend his contract in the club much longer. Im believing mbappe will not be changing his opinion regarding it.

Mbappe is not interesting anymore to stuck in the club that doesn't give good impact for his career. The praise of footballer to win as many trophies as possible. So, the only choice for mbappe to leave from PSG as soon as possible.

There are many teams are also preparing themselves once mbappe will be leaving to the another club. Some candidates like liverpool and real madrid have been strongly believed to get mbappe as their new players.

I would like to see mbappe to join in real madrid rather than liverpool. Madrid will able to make him become another ronaldo. Mbappe has very big potential to make it happen.

madrid is bigger club than liverpool and it's also the highest level of club in the european continent. There will be no better choice other than see madrid to get mbappe as a new players.

An elite club have chances of signing and dropping players, every player wouldn't give so easily, rather they will fight their way through to become a player of the best club leading. It's the dream of most players to wear the white jersey. Real Madrid need more players to served as backup players for their primary players, most times these key players are injured and creating a big vacant space on the pitch because the players on the bench doesn't fit strong to compete. Carlo Ancelotti have good sights on promising players and would scout them out real quick to ensure he build his team to become further formidable.

that may be true, and Guirassy would be the second choice after Kane if he goes to Munich. Regarding MU, it seems Guirassy has no interest in being coached by Ten Hag. but for Milan and Tottenham, maybe it could be considered if he gets a place in the main squad where he will get more playing time.
or the same thing could be done by Munich to change its current playing strategy and formation. we will never know where Guirassy will play more comfortably. The competition in Serie A and EPL may be tougher than in the Bundesliga.
