⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[QueenVera]

It would indeed still be a significant achievement if Xabi Alonso can elevate Bayer Leverkusen without winning a championship. The ability to lift a team from a disadvantaged position and guide them to a more competitive standing is a testament to his managerial skills. The progress and improvement of the team itself are noteworthy achievements. He's been enhancing the performance of individual players and contributing to their development, it reflects positively on his coaching abilities. A coach's impact on the growth of the players and the team's overall skill level is a substantial marker of success.

If Alonso manages to instill a winning mindset, discipline, and a strong work ethic within the club, it signifies success beyond just winning a trophy. He is building a foundation for sustained success and creating a team that consistently competes at a high level can be more valuable than a one-time championship. Facing the challenges of coaching and steering a team through adversity requires resilience and patience. The support from stakeholders can be a strong indicator of the positive impact he's had on the team.

Currently, Leverkusen's consistency has put them in the top contending spots for the Bundesliga title. Even though it's not so certain yet as there are still games to determine the victor, there's every possibility that there may be change of hands this season.
Munich are doing their best to match up the intensity of contest and they have to be careful cause if they drop more points, they would be giving Leverkusen more advantage to change the Bundesliga history.

 Leverkusen are putting forward. Definitely they can hold onto the pressure for a while and for Leverkusen, they are not resilient in pursuing that major aim. Alonso and his squad aren't giving up and weekly they put up a whole different energy towards that trophy race. The time is sure going to be tough for all their opponents and the games will go almost to the last end before a victor can be confirmed.

Fikayo Tomori was recently linked to Bayern Munich and this player was very close to joining the team and playing for Tuchel, especially after the new year.
But the contract between Fikayo Tomori and AC Milan has not expired yet and he can only leave this team after 2027 unless AC Milan lets him leave.
But Ac Milan rejected the offer they got from Bayern Munich and they said they are not going to sell this payer because they don't have enough defenders already.

 

Bayern Munich has shown interest in AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori. The move is currently unlikely because AC Milan does not want to sell him. However, it's not ruled out that Bayern could not make another attempt. There's a chance that Tomori's time at AC Milan could come to an end. However, If the Italian club wants to be competitive and improve their defense, the best option is to bring in a center-back to strengthen their defense rather than sell him.

Bayern likes him but acmilan dislikes bayern's interest and there's no way for bayern to get him from acmilan. Tuchel shall need to find an alternative player to replace him. This is going to be the hardest mission but nothing impossible.
Bayern has very good reputation that can be used to attract the good defender. Why doesn't bayern try to attract meguire to come in? It will be so good to have meguire in the bayern.

Acmilan being so harsh toward any offer that was targeting fikayo. The chance owned by tuchel to recruit him was almost zero and i hope he can understand it by try to find alternative solution for him.
There are so many worthy defenders are still capable enough to help bayern to play better. Tuchel needs to find that as soon as possible.

He can start to target leverkusen's defender too. Bayern was trying so hard to lure guirassy to come. There's nothing wrong in giving an excellent offer for leverkusen's defender too.
It's caused by all of leverkusen players ar still on fire and that gives more advantage for bayern. Tuchel has a lot of unfinished jobs.

It's different between coaches and players, so coaches have nothing to do with a person's career as a football player and there are even some great coaches who are not basically football players.

It's a bias.

There are some great coaches who weren't football players, but most of good coaches were football players.

It's make sense because you can't feel a sense how a good strategy and team play was supposed to, the way is become the player. Arsene Wenger is one of most popular coaches who wasn't a player.

Are we talking about football players like someone has ever played football no matter in what league or are you guys talking about coaches that were unknown football players?

Because I was surprised when I read that you said Arsene Wenger was not a player, but he played over 280 professional games. He wasn't in the best leagues all the time, but it's called professional football in my opinion.

[$crypto$]

Fail to pay attention to news like this, they're complete speculations and even if they want him amd he wants to leave, that should be exactly at the end of the season.
He's currently under contract with a club and they want him to terminate him contract for them? At this crucial periods of the season? This musy be a joke.

Girona are currently buzzing, this is only but a distraction. If it's not then,. Why make such moves at this time of the season. The coach had been a massive development of their growth and increase.
He'll go nowhere.

I don't think it's going to happen. But remember Newcastle are a rich club when he offers a higher salary who wouldn't be tempted? Doing the job is looking at the money, but I never know what will happen.

Yes I don't think it will happen in the middle of the season now if something happens it will be at the end of the season, but we will see if Girona will keep Sanchez or not? It could be that when he is brilliant he asks for a raise and Girona are not able to then there other clubs become an opportunity to recruit him.

I think so! My hunch is that he'll stay with Girona and could even bring the LaLiga title this season, it's not impossible is it?

It's different between coaches and players, so coaches have nothing to do with a person's career as a football player and there are even some great coaches who are not basically football players.

The majority of great coaches are footballers. e.g. Guardiola, Dieogo Simione, Zinedine Zidane, Carlo Anceloti, Jurgen Klop and more.
While those who are not from former players are very few but can be successful because of learning and from assistant coaches, even jose mourinho only started as a translator for a coach.
yes one example of a coach who is not from a former player and a great success yes jose mourinho

I don't think this can be attributed to one another, because many coaches who are also former players cannot become great coaches, but indeed their experience as players can absorb what they learned during their time as players and they can adopt it and apply it when they become coaches.
Jose Mourinho is the most interesting for me, because he started out as a translator and from there he was able to start his coaching career and he is also very extraordinary. I think it's the same as a player, coaches have to have talent or they have to work hard. Because it's not easy to think of something that other people have to implement, and sometimes what the players expect can't be carried out very well.
I don't think it should be a problem, because what we see is not whether they are former players or not, but what we see is what he can show as a coach.

Ten Hag was the first to scare away Ronaldo from a club. Now I have no idea whether negotiations were already going on and Ronaldo forced the argument between and the club himself or whether the transfer to Saudi Arabia was a consequence of the problems he had with ten Hag. But what ever the issues really were behind the scenes, ten Hag is scaring away player after player and he also has the ability to make players rather worse than better. He is the exact opposite of what coaches are supposed to be able to do in regards to player mentality.

Here we go again with this Ronaldo and Ten Hag saga again, both Ronaldo and the coach had issues and then Ronaldo had an interview that expose the club which lead to him getting his contract terminated which to me I don’t necessarily see it as Ten Hag’s fault but the club. As for Jordan Sancho I don’t blame Ten Hag for banishing him seriously because if a player thinks he is bigger than the club then the player needs to find another club which can contain him. How can everybody in the club including your colleagues or teammates be begging you to reconcile but you think you’re bigger than that, that’s ego to me. This is not the first time that Sancho will be involved in coming late to the training because even Pep had same problems with him before he got sold to Dortmund. The same Dortmund club had fined him before for same lack of punctuality. To me both him and United are better off without each other. He is a top talent but hasn’t picked at United.

I don’t see United making any new signings this January as they are under FFP crises because any wrong spending will result into ban. For now they are just actual looking at extending contracts of the current players and probably looking for loan deals for academy graduates to get more minutes.

But when did Sancho articulate that he is bigger than the club or when did he behave and through his behavior imply that he is bigger than the club? He hasn't had any problems when he played at Borussia Dortmund. Fining him for not being punctual, well there are many players who have been dealing with these minor issues. It wasn't that bad I guess or otherwise Dortmund wouldn't take him back now.

As for Ronaldo we can't verify it anyway. Anything he said about the club and what happened allegedly, who knows which version is true. But obviously ten Hag has more problems with players than other coaches. Mourinho can be an asshole as well, but ten Hag is the guy who thinks he is bigger than the club.

[bitvalak]

That proves that it doesn't even matter how good history in your career as a footballer and there is no guarantee if you will be a good coach. In fact, so numerous players that shifted to be a new coach were only a few that was successfully become good coach.

A general pattern. There are very few former world-class players who have become successful coaches. Most of them have had one or two stints as a coach and then never found a job as a coach again. Wayne Rooney is also very unlikely to become a successful coach. Much more successful are former players who have played in the first or second division of their country, but have never really been among the greatest. The best examples of those are Carlo Angelotti and Jurgen Klopp.

Actually, it's not a general pattern. I think the most basic thing is whether he retired because he had a bad career at the end of his time?
Because most of these players will decline their careers as they approach retirement, move to small clubs or even minor league castes, and then take coaching courses.
This pattern will result in more failures, compared to players who retire during their glory days.
Unfortunately I see that Rooney doesn't have a vision for that, I just think he will become a coach and take advantage of the big name he had during his career at Man United. Maybe we can compare it with Gattuso.

As far as I know Wenger played as a professional player at Strasbourg, one of the clubs in Ligue 1 but there is no achievement to be proud of there.
But that does not mean there are no coaches who have not been players before because there are several coaches such as Maurizio Sarri, Brandon Rodgers and even Julian Nagelsmann. They never once registered as professional players but their achievements as coaches can be said to be very good.

Actually starting from a professional player or never having been a professional player at all has nothing to do with achievements in coaching but at least until now when looking at some of the current coaches it is more from professional players first because it is indeed a stumbling block for them because they have felt before when they were players but now they apply in something different as a tactic processor but their experience in the field as a player is used as a complement for them to be able to know what to do when as a coach.

I like your sentence, Mourinho presents himself as an arrogant man but he can present a European trophy for the club. Meanwhile, Ten Hag seemed annoying to fans, being strict with players and looking for scapegoats for every problem. There are many reasons he has put forward regarding United current inconsistency in performance, but I think The Red Devils fans no longer believe after being disappointed too often. I think replacing Ten Hag is a solution that must be done immediately, because keeping him for a long time has the potential to increase friction in the dressing room.

If management still trusts Ten Hag, then United will need several seasons to win the EPL trophy under his leadership. While Ronaldo and Sancho are the only two players who have clashed with Ten Hag publicly, we don't know exactly how many other players are unhappy with him at the moment. It seems that Ten Hag has lost his luck at Old Trafford, all his efforts have led to the decline of the team, even recruiting new players cannot immediately improve their performance to be consistent in their next matches.

Bayern likes him but acmilan dislikes bayern's interest and there's no way for bayern to get him from acmilan. Tuchel shall need to find an alternative player to replace him. This is going to be the hardest mission but nothing impossible.
Bayern has very good reputation that can be used to attract the good defender. Why doesn't bayern try to attract meguire to come in? It will be so good to have meguire in the bayern.

Acmilan being so harsh toward any offer that was targeting fikayo. The chance owned by tuchel to recruit him was almost zero and i hope he can understand it by try to find alternative solution for him.
There are so many worthy defenders are still capable enough to help bayern to play better. Tuchel needs to find that as soon as possible.

He can start to target leverkusen's defender too. Bayern was trying so hard to lure guirassy to come. There's nothing wrong in giving an excellent offer for leverkusen's defender too.
It's caused by all of leverkusen players ar still on fire and that gives more advantage for bayern. Tuchel has a lot of unfinished jobs.

Bayern conceding some funny goals is one major reason Thomas would want to strengthen his defense line this season. Now he’s gunning for Fikayo of AC milan. This is one surviving and key player of Milan’s defense. Milan aren’t ready to lose him anytime soon and so they’ll be frowning on any move to take their pivot defender out of the team as this is their key to their defense line.

 Now it’s still early and it’ll be better Tuchel and Bayern look out for some other alternatives in other leagues so as to have an effective team this season. Leverkusen have some good defenders and could let go one or two so as to strengthen the squad’s midfield or attack. The earlier the better for Bayern and Tuchel, cause Leverkusen is really on their next and don't want to let go.

When Míchel Sánchez is on the rise with Girona now there are rumors from MARCA said Newcastle are considering recruiting the Girona coach to replace Eddie Howe who is currently starting to slump, I say this is a bold move for Newcastle but my question is: Is it possible Girona will let him go in the winter?
I don't think that's likely to happen especially now Girona are on fire hard to beat if their coach leaves then it will be chaotic.

This is just a rumor, it is not clear what will happen later whether Eddie Howe will be replaced in the near future or kept by Newcastle.

It's just a rumour I think. They might be having some thoughts but I don't think think it will materialize in the end. Girona are on a great form surprisingly this season and I don't think that Girona at all are willing to let him go in mid season as they will lose the momentum if anything changes inside the squad. Besides Newcastle will be discussing inside about sacking Eddie Howe and getting a new manager but to sign Girona manager Sanchez seems very hard to me.

There were a lot of rumors regarding Fikayo at the end of last year. Man United is also one of those who are rumored to want to get him. but now it seems that Munich is the one most in the news and is serious about recruiting him.
but it seems like Milan's response wasn't good enough, that's because Milan wasn't ready to lose one of their mainstay defenders. Even when Fikayo was injured, Pioli had difficulty finding a replacement with better performance.

Fikayo Tomori is a very reliable defender and it is not surprising that Bayern Munich really want to get him because currently Bayern Munich is very good, but the defense line is still less consistent and the aim of bringing in Tomori is to provide perfection in the defense line which is really very good. requires attention and even though Milan rejected this offer, I am sure that money can change bad conditions into very good ones and that could happen if Munich management makes an even bigger offer.
I imagine that if Bayern Munich succeeded in bringing in a quality defender like Tomori, the club would definitely be very strong because of Tomori's skills as a defender but sometimes he could also help score.

I guess you are dead wrong about this. Bayern Munich currently conceded around 1 goal per game on average which is still pretty impressive at this moment because if you compared that to the last 2 season, in total they conceded about 1.1-1.2 goal per game on average. The reason they are trying to sign another defender is that Kim Min Jae is going to the Asia Cup so that obviously leave a hole on their defenders list which is why Tomori is a suitable player that could replace him for a while

I mean Eddie Howe is doing an alright job. But I guess it was not enough for the Saudi Owners. But we have to take a look at where he is being held back. He has a big list of injuries. Probably his team has suffered the most injuries in the Premier League. They have not spent much money either considering they are a team owned by the Arabs. But I think they should not sack Eddie Howe. He got them the ticket to UCL last season and if the team stays out of injury then they can achieve it this season as well. The Premier League is very competitive so it is no easy job.

I don't know if Girona's coach will be enough either.

Yeah injuries has held them back but its all about board and how they see the management of Eddie Howe before coming to a decision. So far Howe's contribution to the Magpies has been very good but since now the expectations has changed so it is possible that Howe might face sack even with all those achievements with Newcastle last season. In my honest opinion, Howe would be given some more chances and if he doesn't lives up to those chances then I think he will be sacked without a doubt.

Yes, Premier League is not an easy one but all the clubs also wants to finish better and in order to finish better they need to makes chances and sacking coaches and signing a new coach is one of the way clubs usually find in order to get back on track.

And even if Xabi Alonso is to return to the Premier League anyday anytime, he'llake his move to Liverpool, that's because he's a Liverpool legend and they'll want to see him returning and taking charge. They won't push for this actually until right after Jurgen Klopp is done with Liverpool. Why would he leave gor Manchester United?

He should focus of winning his first ever trophy with Bayern Leverkusen this season, I hope he wins too because of how far they've already achieved. Borrussia Dortmund tried and failed, hopefully they won't end same way m

You don't need talk much about him, managing talents that are not even well known and still pushing them up?! Man, deserves a better rise and pay.

Currently, the name Xabi Alonso is a hot topic of conversation among football fans with what he is doing with Bayer Leverkusen. not only that, several top clubs are interested in his services. apart from Real Madrid before Carlo Ancelotti extended his contract, now Bayern Munich has included him on their list if Thuchel does not meet expectations or fails to win the title for Bayern Munich. just imagine, if Xabi Alonso was able to win two titles at once, namely the Bundesliga and the Europa League. automatically teams that are having problems, especially top teams, will compete to use his services.
for me, Xabi's career is still quite long in the world of coaching, he also still needs a lot of experience to become a truly competent coach. most importantly, Xabi must be able to become a leader in the dressing room of the team he coaches. because most problems occur in the players' changing room. that's why, for me, Xabi needs to re-explore his abilities, firmness and discipline. in the end, he will find the difference when coaching Leverkusen and a much top team. usually, star players will have big egos, some of which are even difficult to manage. if Xabi is unable to be a firm leader in the dressing room, then when he trains a top team various obstacles will arise that he will have to face.

For example, like Carlo Ancelotti, who is ideal as a coach who has a leadership spirit and charisma that is respected by his team. as for Klopp, the Liverpool owner will always try to keep him at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp is a coach who, unlike other coaches, always has many demands on club management. moreover, as we know, Liverpool owners are very stingy when it comes to buying players who are quite expensive. because of Klopp, he can maximize existing players and try to make cheap players into great ones. naturally, Liverpool will keep him. the question is, when will Klopp leave Liverpool. if so, it would be a big loss to lose a coach as intelligent as Jurgen Klopp.

[shogun47]

Getting sacked by Real Madrid's bosses is not inconceivable There have been a few coaches already who thought that they position as a coach would be save because they were doing alright, but out of a sudden they were told they can leave the club. I would never rule out the possibility that Ancelotti gets sacked or leaves early, but I agree that it seems more likely he will fulfill his contract. Then again it happened so often that I thought a coach would be safe. You can see the opposite can be true, as it is for ten Hag. A crappy coach who is still safe.

A safe spot for Carlo Ancelotti in Spain, he earned respect by these elite club. Don't underestimate any plan of Carlo Ancelotti, he's been sighted by most elite clubs, but he choose to remain in Santiago Bernabéu. No club will ever fire a coach that's enchancing the club performance in matches and also putting them up in solid spots. Real Madrid president, Florentino Pérez will keep working on the team for better upgrade. Carlo Ancelotti have more years to manage Real Madrid, he's currently the headcoach and doesn't mind bringing up winning styles.

Yes I mean the Bernabeu is literally where he belongs. They fit together very well, the club and him. He is a gentleman and a great coach, a great personality and Real Madrid is the most recognized club in the world. So there is no disagreement about that. I wonder what he would do in 2026 if everything is looking great and going well. I believe someone like him will have a hard time to once and for all say goodbye to soccer. it is really his life although he is one of the calmest coaches I have ever seen. The most you can see from him is when he is showing his fist out of joy. But he isn't screaming or escalating. Great coach and I hope we'll see him a few more years.

[rendravolt]

Ivan Toney's future is finally clear and he will stay at Brentford. This was expressed by coach Thomas Frank and he feels that Ivan Toney is still an important part of the club. Previously, we knew that there were rumors that a team like Arsenal was interested in bringing in Ivan Toney and did not rule out the possibility of the transfer being successful if the fee was right.

But previously Brentford also set a very expensive fee for their striker so that no team would be able to pay it. I think Ivan Toney does have something to offer as a striker, it's just that inflation in prices for football players is currently crazy, so it doesn't make sense for this player to be priced so expensively.
