⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[naira]

There's only a month before quarter final in Europa League begins, it's too fast to sack Mourinho. I don't expect Roma will achieve anything in this season, De Rossi wasn't proven as a good manager, he's just a senior player. There have been many senior players that not capable when they're become manager, De Rossi could be one of them.

Which the next club that Mourinho will join? Manchester United or Chelsea?

In fact, if you think about Roma's bad results so far, it is not entirely Mourinho's fault and more precisely, Roma is indeed a poor club that cannot provide a larger budget so that Mourinho can target the players he is targeting. Now we also know that in the end Roma can only get a coach from their former legend, namely De Rossi and I am sure that Roma will not be able to sign a better coach with their current finances.

I think it's better for Mourinho to return to Chelsea because apart from that being his home, on the other hand he will get a very large budget from Todd Boehly to be able to get the players he wants and if he returns to Manchester United it won't necessarily make Mourinho better. Moreover, Manchester United is a problematic club and on the other hand, their ideals are too high if they want to try to win the title.

Returning to Chelsea or Manchester United are also clubs that are experiencing problems. When it comes to budget, Manchester United has received assistance from Sir Jim for its needs in the transfer market. Then Chelsea, whose position in the standings is higher than Manchester United. The Blues continue to experience disappointing days even with the financial support you refer to. Todd Boehly doesn't care about clubs, all he thinks about is profit, Chelsea will be destroyed or threatened with relegation as long as Todd Boehly doesn't understand football clubs, the results will remain the same.

Regarding Mourinho, it is better not to do anything for now, Roma is clear evidence, plus this club is no longer interested in showing competition. The point is that Mourinho cannot interfere in ongoing club affairs, Chelsea itself with its current composition of players has nothing to be proud of even though it has spent a large budget.

When Real Madrid was disappointed by Mbappe because he canceled his transfer and chose to extend his contract with PSG, Real Madrid did not dwell too much on this failure. Because now Real Madrid is more focused on targeting other players. In the 2024 summer transfer market, Real Madrid wants to focus more on bringing in a new left-back. One player who is currently the focus of the Spanish capital team is Bayern Munich defender, Alphonso Davies. Davies is Real Madrid's main target because they need a new left-back. However, Los Blancos are likely to face obstacles from Bayern Munich. If Davies's contract extension is not completed within the next two months, Real Madrid could step in to obtain his services.

As far as I know, up to now I have not found any news regarding Mbappe and Real Madrid because both parties are equally mysterious without clarity and in fact there has been no news about a contract extension between PSG and Mbappe because what I know is that Mbappe will not extend the contract but will only stay until June and after that will be a free agent.
In fact, Real Madrid currently really needs a very reliable striker to sharpen the attack, but even if they fail to get a striker, this will not be a big problem for Ancelotti because the current players such as Rodrygo and Vinicius make Madrid's attack line very sharp and the reason for choosing Alphonso Davies maybe he is not a defender but can also play the role of midfielder and his age of 23 years for Real Madrid is a fairly easy age to get the talent of this player in the long term.
The only problem is that Bayern Munich currently has a target of getting the Champions League trophy which will make it impossible to sell their talented players.

Breaking News!

Jordan Henderson has officially parted ways with Al-Ettifaq and this is the first top European player to leave the Saudi league. Previously, we certainly knew that several Saudi league teams had made huge investments to strengthen their squads and introduce their league to people throughout the world. Unfortunately, one of the European players and former Liverpool captain did not feel at home after half a season with Al-Ettifaq and finally with Al-Ettifaq he agreed to terminate his contract.

Now it is reported that Jordan Henderson will join Ajax and he will soon undergo a medical test as a new Ajax player. I think his quality is still enough to play in Europe and maybe this is what he wants because not all European players feel happy playing in the Saudi league even though they can make a lot of money.

He is still good enough to help a team for a few years, but now I deeply wonder whether he threw a great great career ending in the trash. Do you guys know that he was the captain of a now leading Liverpool and that he played 43 games in the season 2022/23 for his beloved club? Yes he was a substitute player, but he also made a lot of important games and was able to have such great moments in the last phase of his career. He then decided to leave and go for the money and now he isn't happy anymore and goes to Ajax, a club which can't really win anything this season.

What the heck did he think when he left Liverpool? Or does anyone know whether Liverpool wanted him to go?

Yeah it's really strange why he want to leave Al Ettifaq, it's not about money anymore, but it could be he's not comfortable with the weather or Al Ettifaq isn't nice to him. Even though Henderson is old, but he's still get selected to play in England's national team, so his performance is still good.

I find, this was the reason. But it's true he can't change and achieve something in Al Ettifaq because there are many good teams in SPL.

Henderson ended a 12-year stay at Liverpool last July to move to Saudi Arabia and in September, he defended his switch after widespread criticism, telling The Athletic in an exclusive interview that he wanted to “achieve something special and build a club and build the league”.

I think its unfair to remove De Rossi immediately. He's new to management, but every great coach started somewhere, right? Zidane and Guardiola went from great players to great coaches. Who knows, De Rossi may surprise us? Mourinho wasnt solely responsible for Roma's difficulties. Club finances were a major obstacle.

Chelsea appears more likely than Manchester United for Mourinho's next move. His history with Chelsea is crucial, and Boehly's money might change things there. United, with huge expectations and a volatile club climate, appears more complicated. Mourinho may prefer a revered situation to one where he must reestablish his reputation.

The Brazilian's scintillating first-half hat-trick against Barcelona in the Supercopa final took his tally to an impressive 136 goal involvements in 241 appearances for Real. The position of left wing has been his own for many seasons, but he could soon face competition from arguably the world's greatest player in Kylian Mbappe. The Frenchman has long been linked with a move to Madrid and could sign on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer - although he would arrive on an eye-watering £600,000 ($760,000)-a-week wage.

https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-plotting-shock-gbp130m-vinicius-junior-transfer-real-madrid-cash-in-fund-kylian-mbappe-deal/blt53693c41dab1fce1#cs52481feaae7b3a71

Here we GO! Another rumor is coming. Manchester united reportedly interested to buy vini from real madrid which is costing indefinite amounts of money. Vini has been scoring hatrick against barcelona and i don't even think real madrid was willing to let him leave from the club.
Vini was very happy but manchester united has prepared a very high salary to get him from real madrid. Since mbappe's transfer is still remain unclear but vini is also in the same level as mbappe. He has been valued very high.
His value keeps grow up caused by vini is always performing very well. If real madrid will be selling vini and believe me, it will be shocing a lot of parties.

Real madrid sees vini as one of the greatest winger owned by the club. He was just performing even better after he was coming to the real madrid a few years ago. Vini continously showing significant improvement, which was making the club able to show very good performance.
Im happy if vini will stay in real madrid till he will be 30s. Vini is starting to enter his golden time and move to the MU will be the worst decision to be made on his life. Ten hag has a vision to destroy the career from a good player.

how is it possible that a reliable coach is able to take the team to a higher level while the management is very stingy for me.
even though this is very disappointing, I really support Mourinho departure because he is a very reliable coach and if he serves as a coach in a bad team his reputation will definitely decline and this time I am more relieved to see that Mourinho can save his reputation.

no, I dont agree if Mourinho joins Chelsea because this team is in trouble improving its performance but only has ordinary players and if Mourinho joins Chelsea I'm afraid it will only end the same as at Roma.
I would be more confident if Mourinho at least took a short break to look at a team that has a better future so that it can contribute to achieving higher titles.

Haaland may leave Manchester this summer.

He will have a release clause around 120-150mil and if Guardiola will leave, he will also leave.

Just my 2 cents.

Is this your guess or have you heard about such a logical connection somewhere? It seems to me that, on the contrary, Guardiola’s departure will encourage Haaland to stay, even though Haaland plans to play in all the top European championships (I hope except France haha). In my opinion, Guardiola is acting like an asshole towards Haaland - if you have such a star in your team, you have to praise him, it's just business. But Guardiola, while praising Haaland, does not forget to remind that he considers Messi the best  What an idiot.

Here we go, Suadi Arabia is spending money again. Now Renan Lodi (25 years old) has been brought in from Olympique Marseille. He is moving to Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League. There he plays together with many great names:  Ruben Neves, Neymar, Malcom or Kalidou Koulibaly. The transfer fee is 20 million euros. Al-Hilal now have 4 Brazilians and 3 of them have played for the Brazilian national team. So he will meet friends there that he already knows and if everything continues like this he will win the championship this year with Al-Hilal. So it is a good move for him.

Just my 2 cents.

Judging by the content of this post, it simply means that this news isn't a confirmed one but actually a figmentation of imagination and that's I totally disagree with it. Pep Guardiola is still contracted with Manchester City till the end of 2024/25 season and from every accessible report, he's still very much happy with the club so he's definitely not gonna leave the Etihad this summer. Pep Guardiola is rather focused on making sure he wins all the competition that Manchester City are currently involved and if he can possibly do it, it'll simply be a repeat of what he did with the club last season which is winning the UEFA champions league, English Premier League and the English FA Cup.

Erling Haaland is currently injured and is expected to be back to action in less than two weeks from now and when the Norwegian is full fit again, Manchester City will be more strong and competitive than ever

Mostly the transfer from Europa league to Saudi Professional League makes the player career to end, but this is actually a good transfer for Lodi because he can get a trophy in Al Hilal. Marseille is a mediocre team, it's really hard to surpass PSG.

This place is a comfort zone for him since he can't play in a very competitive league.

Mourinho has left his job at Roma. Maybe Mourinho can return to Chelsea one more time and make things right. His second adventure at Chelsea was not so good, but he is the best manager in Chelsea's history. I think he should take charge of Chelsea once again and try to bring Chelsea back to the old days. They spend money on transfers but they don't have someone who can manage the team. I think Mourinho could be the right person for them.

I don’t think Mourinho will be returning to Chelsea. They really do not deserve him. There are speculations Newcastle are interested in Mourinho as manager, I would like to see that happen. I believe that could be the game changer Newcastle needs to become a better contender for the league title. Jose Mourinho has a track record of success, he’s been able to perform miracles in his career. I think people forget how he become the special one. IMO Roma shouldn’t have sacked Mourinho, no manager could have done a better job with that team. Pep Guardiola won the award for best manager yesterday, but Mourinho is one who also deserves that recognition in my opinion. If Pep was given the same team Mourinho managed in Roma, I doubt he will be able to get a better result.

I'm waiting to see some news about Mourinho and his next destination but all I can see in the news about this famous coach is how he is leaving Roma and how they didn't respect him as they had to.
Mourinho had good performances in many teams including Chelsea and there is a high chance for him to return to Chelsea because currently, Chelsea is not in a good situation with their new coach even after spending a huge amount of money on this team and the player they bought

Returning to Chelsea ain't no wise decision besides he doesn't work with young players like the present players in Chelsea, they're not well made an it'll take one two seasons before they finally adapt.
Chelsea like Manchester United are currently in need of some quick success bit that don't mean they'll entertain a coach like Jose Mourinho back, believe mez he's tactics are outdated and poor lately they can't win the league with these current Chelsea squad and.

In the Premier League, I'll say he's nearest to return to Newcastle United. Manchester United? Hell No!!

Don't Compare Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho, they're both in a different level. one get results the other doesn't.

Yes, but regardless Mourinho will be suitable for the Chelsea's team at the moment and possibly put Chelsea back into fighting for the top 4 position than having Pochettino still managing the club, at least Chelsea won't be experience all this humiliation losses they've got under Pochettino all this while. Imagine Chelsea still not qualify for Champions League next season having them end the season like this, it will definitely reduce the interest of big players to the club.

There is a big chance that Mou could become the next England manager, he ever mentioned it back in 2023.
Here is the link: https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-jose-mourinho-clear-plan-become-next-england-boss-decision-roma-future

This guy know alot about the style of English football and Mou is the only person who ever handle different big teams in the Premier League (Manutd, Chelsea and Tottenham)

[Josefjix]

Mauricio Pochettino have no business with the club's growth because he's incompetent with the current positioned channel to him.
With the current performance of Chelsea, I don't think they would stand a chance of qualifying for important postion in the English Premier League, the signs are already there for us to see. I'm curious about the condition of my club, because they're not improving as usual. José Mourinho is currently without a club and I don't that should be something for him to worried about because he's one of the top coach in football and have deliver quite alot of accomplishments in football.

[tiCeR]

But if Real Madrid would be successful in signing Davies, it would be an unbelievable left side for Real Madrid. Just combine the pace of Vinicius Junior and Davies. That would probably be the fastest duo in football. I assume that this is the idea, to add some extra pace to the left side although they are good already. But Davies is well positioned with his contract ending in 2025. It would be the only possibility for Bayern Munich to make some money if they decide to transfer him to Real Madrid. And Davies knows that Bayern Munich would have to raise his salary or else he would let his contract expire and leave the club in 2025.

That might be an option in Ancelotti future plans and it could also be one of the reasons why Madrid have wanted Davies even from previous seasons.
But with that its likely that one of the player will definitely leave if in the end Davies can really be obtained although for now i cannot be sure whether Madrid will intend to bring him in this transfer window or not because of Ancelotti statement that he will not bring a single player for the defense in January this time because Ancelotti is still quite confident with some of their players who can anticipate the defense well even though there are some of their defensive centers injured.

I wasn't really talking about the January transfer window as that is highly unlikely that Bayern Munich would sell a player while looking forward to the Champions League games against the best teams in the world. No top club would sell a player like Davies in a winter transfer window when they are still competing for Europe's most important trophy.

But Ancelotti is planning ahead and that is why he extended his contract. He would love to sign Davies and Mbappe on top of that. This would be an ultra high speed team with Vinicius Junior, Davies and Mbappe. My lord this would be insane for any opponent to defend against.

[EL MOHA]

Yes, but regardless Mourinho will be suitable for the Chelsea's team at the moment and possibly put Chelsea back into fighting for the top 4 position than having Pochettino still managing the club, at least Chelsea won't be experience all this humiliation losses they've got under Pochettino all this while. Imagine Chelsea still not qualify for Champions League next season having them end the season like this, it will definitely reduce the interest of big players to the club.

Interms of experience Mourinho is by far a better option but let’s not forget that even him couldn’t rally back Roma to the champions league, I wouldn’t say he can’t do that with Chelsea but we are disputing the fact that this Chelsea squad is having some major problems beyond coaching ability. That problem is the recruitment, the way Chelsea have been buying players without proper strategy the signing of some big money players like Lavia seem a bit out of the question for me, they should have prioritized an attacking midfielder then and then a proper striker wasn’t Also considered. During The era of The former owner Roman Abrahmovic things weren’t like this, the coach makes the transfer decision and the sporting director. So I don’t see Pochettino

There he plays together with many great names:  Ruben Neves, Neymar, Malcom or Kalidou Koulibaly. The transfer fee is 20 million euros. Al-Hilal now have 4 Brazilians and 3 of them have played for the Brazilian national team. So he will meet friends there that he already knows and if everything continues like this he will win the championship this year with Al-Hilal. So it is a good move for him.

Mostly the transfer from Europa league to Saudi Professional League makes the player career to end, but this is actually a good transfer for Lodi because he can get a trophy in Al Hilal. Marseille is a mediocre team, it's really hard to surpass PSG.

This place is a comfort zone for him since he can't play in a very competitive league.

Moreover, the player does not have a brilliant career in the European league so when he goes to Arabia it will be difficult for European teams to look at him again, he will indeed be comfortable with Al Hilal because they are currently dominating the standings and must also offer a bigger salary than the previous team.

Many players take offers from Arabia because they know that financially it will be safe for them at least during their career.
I myself do not pay attention to Lodi players, if it is so tight for the French League then the Arab League will be much more comfortable for him.

Benzema to Chelsea could make sense, he is still not "that" old and he could help them for 1.5 years, or even 6 months if he wants to. That way everyone wins, Chelsea gets a striker they need, and Benzema gets out of the situation he is in right now. That should be an important situation for him because it looks like he is not going to be all that happy where he is right now and I believe that he is going to end up with something that has to change on the long run.

I know that we are not going to end up with something all that much, we are going to end up with a situation that would benefit everyone all the while better. I know that we can see Benzema struggling there too, but it looks like it would be worth a try.

He is already 36 years old. I don't know if he will be able to do well with Chelsea. But I think it is worth a shot. Because Chelsea is already not performing well. And they have to try new things. But at the same time I think the problem of Chelsea is not the players, the problem is the authority.

Anyway, I think Chelsea will not make any big mistake that they haven't already done if they bring in Benzema. If anything, if Benzema finds the form that he has been looking for a long time, Chelsea might be very happy and win matches on the back of him. So I think they should try giving him a chance. But they should not expect something extraordinary from him as well. They should remember that they will be bringing in a 36 year old.
