⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[QueenVera]

I just read rumors regarding Arsenal considering a blockbuster loan for striker number 9, referring to the Teamtalk report. I didn't even think that Benzema was still in great demand even by several top clubs in the Premier League. If I'm not mistaken, Manchester United was initially linked with a loan for the former French international. however, HITC reported that the Red Devils have no intention of signing Benzema this month.
Meanwhile Arsenal surprised me that they were considering Benzema. with the scenario, if Arsenal can get the veteran striker on a temporary contract. So, it's no longer a secret that Arsenal needs another number 9 who can really be relied on in terms of scoring goals for their squad. honestly, I can't describe what it would be like if Benzema played with the Gunners. I don't know what to think, but as an Arsenal supporter I'm happy if this rumor is true. Moreover, Benzema is interested in joining the Gunners.

Likewise with Chelsea, Pohce has been linked with a number of attacking options. considering that Nicolas Jackson is not completely convincing as a striker who can be relied on. and rumors are that Chelsea is also continuing to monitor Bemzema's situation at Al Ittihad. If Arteta is really interested in Benzema, as an Arsenal supporter I really support him. even though Bemzema is no longer young, Arsenal's style of play seems to provide a more deadly attack power. Nevertheless, we'll just have to wait and see what Arsenal will do and the same goes for Benzema. Maybe this is just gossip or part of the options in Arsenal's plans. Also, it's not certain that Benzema will be willing to join the Gunners, we'll just follow further developments.

Arsenal are a good team, they're active in all competitions and they've got the special ability to get victorious at the end. Well for me they've got a great squad and impressive management too but it'll be better if there's an improvement to what they already have. Adding a striker to the list and a few more players with increased effect won't really be a bad idea, rather it'll push the team into getting greater, bigger results.

 It's actually good that so far, the team have been promising and they're working smoothly with their manager too. Errors are quickly corrected and coordinations are present to. One would wait to anticipate what the January transfer window holds for this team. But for the meantime, they still have top contending chance in the European tournaments too, and that's why they need to strengthen their squad ahead of the tournament.

Maybe that's understandable but when discussing Davies now indirectly it will definitely be connected to the current transfer in the end because we must be aware of being in the transfer thread with the discussion of player transfers coinciding with the currently open transfer window it is very related to each other: D But indeed for the Davies problem it will not happen because after all now Ancelotti already knows that the statement he gave earlier by not bringing the defender is definitely accounted for but it is possible that if it is for next season's transfer then it looks like this still applies to Davies because after all if his performance does not decline at Bayern then surely Madrid will continue to pursue this player because it is one of the characteristics of Madrid when wanting a player to be at the Bernabeu.

No, when we are discussing any transfers it has nothing to do with the calendar date. Absolutely nothing. I have no idea why you think we can't talk about Mbappe and a potential transfer because you think it doesn't happen in winter, for instance. Of course any potential transfer is interesting and relevant and it makes indeed a lot of sense to talk about these transfers and why or why not they can or won't happen in this ongoing transfer period.

As I said, Bayern Munich would never let Davies go right now unless Real Madrid would make an offer that exceeds Bayern Munich's expectation so far that they can't say no. But they will at all cost make sure that their squad is sufficiently competitive for all the big games that are around the corner.

I think he has decided to do the right thing. Maybe it is time for him to take a break. And probably it will be better for him in the long run as well. I think Roma could actually have given a chance to him till the end of the season. But maybe they want better results and they will bring in a new coach. But I have heard that they are not planning to bring in any new coach at this moment because De Rossi is probably going to be the coach for Roma till the end of the season. I don't think that was actually a good decision to make. But it has already been done. I think if he had given more money, he could have brought in better results.

Jose Mourinho was fired by AS Roma so the decision to leave was not entirely his wish and I also don't understand why AS Roma made the decision to fire Jose Mourinho before the season ended without preparation for the new coach they were going to recruit. Jose Mourinho is a coach who has a big name on the European football scene and it is not difficult for him to train other teams because there are many clubs who are willing to accept him as a coach.

In the Premier League there are several clubs who are rumored to be trying to offer a new job to Jose Mourinho and perhaps there are a number of other clubs outside the Premier League who also intend to recruit him. It was not a good decision to fire Jose Mourinho and choose De Rossi as the main coach even though he will be the coach until the end of this season.

[X-ray]

Chelsea are desperately looking for a striker to help complete the squad but the way and manner they're going about it is not really the best way if you ask me. It seems like the Blues are never serious in any transfer window since they got a new owner, these days they only go for any player they see other clubs are going for especially Arsenal.
Of recent they saw the Gunners going for Ivan Tony and they tried getting the attacker, now is Karim Benzema and the Blues are going for him on loan too, like are they even ready to get an attacker? The team is not doing well and they need a goal scorer.
I think Chelsea are not having a better plan to make the team to be the way it has been in the past or even greater than before. And planning to sell Broja is one crazy move for the Blues with $50m on him is not even the best price for the striker, he hasn't played anything for a club to get him for that amount, is best they sell or loan some of the wingers and midfielders.

All of old strikers from SPL have been linked to the chelsea started with benzema, mitrovic and firmino. I would prefer chelsea to get mitrovic from al hilal but this is quite impossible caused by he was the key for al hilal to win the competition.
Chelsea can try to get firmino and this is a sense choice for the club. Chelsea is always struggling to score which was really disrupting the performance from the team. The current strikers owned by chelsea were useless. They are all so wasteful.
Chelsea needs someone who has proper execution once it will be 1 on 1 against the goal keeper. As far as i can see if chelsea has no good striker with good ball control.

Jackson and broja have no ability to do 1 tap. It has proven that if it nees a lot of time for broja and jackson just to shoot the ball. This is a disaster for chelsea caused by the club has been performing so badly.
The club really needs a new striker even though it will be only coming as a loan from other club. Experienced striker totally needed by the club to solve the problem owned by chelsea.

Firmino was the best choice for chelsea caused by he was not too old .

It was not a good decision to fire Jose Mourinho and choose De Rossi as the main coach even though he will be the coach until the end of this season.

Im not sure the big clubs will take Mou now even if he is unemployed at the moment when talking about the EPL.
At the moment the performance of Mou has become easy and his magic has actually disappeared for a competition as big as the EPL because after all when we are in a situation where the coach has lost his touch it will definitely be very difficult when faced with a hot competition like  the EPL.
Currently Mou has lost his touch especially with his scheme which is still boring because it always uses the ancient scheme that he is always proud of at this time it will not be used for the EPL.

I still haven't seen any rumors about him returning to the EPL at this time, instead what I see is a statement from John Cross who is a journalist from England who thinks that he will not succeed, instead returning to the EPL will only make him even dimmer so it is not recommended for Mou not to approach the EPL.

It would be very interesting if Madrid paid Haaland release clause, because we would see one of the PSG players who always flirts with Florentino become jealous. Of course with Bellingham, Haaland suitability is beyond doubt. Regarding Pep Guardiola, I think this has become an open secret where in the end Man City worries could come true. After all Pep Guardiola  has provided what Man City has never achieved. So there is no burden for him to leave at any time.

I believe Manchester City will treat Haaland very well, just like PSG treats Mbappe and it make Mbappe don't want to leave. However Real Madrid still have an another choice even they can't get either Haaland or Mbappe, it's Osimhen.

Napoli isn't a big team, they don't have a good amount of money if Osimhen insist to increase his salary. Napoli isn't a strong team too, they won in the last season, but they can't be consistent. While Real Madrid, they can pay high salary and they're one of strongest football team who tend to become champion.

Osimhen just signed a new contract at Napoli, that's to say Napoli has offered him a salary increase. It could also mean that Osimhen is not that interested in playing for Money. As things stands now it's unclear if Osimhen is ready to leave Napoli this season because of the new contract he just signed. I don't even think Manchester City will be ready to sell their most valued asset to real Madrid.

Interestingly, Real Madrid is always associated with these 2 young players, it seems that many see both players worthy of playing for Real Madrid, one of which is me. No wonder when we see that, because Real Madrid is a big club and the two plyers we are talking about here have qualities that they can sell for a club as big as Real Madrid.
I agree that Pep probably won't have a burden, as his main target is now achieved, but Manchester City won't have Pep's thoughts, as they are a club that will continue to exist unlike coaches who can go anywhere including retirement.
Real Madrid's main need is up front, it's always going to be an interesting conversation before they officially announce their new signing.

Signing that contract extension with Napoli now make him everything difficult for me to predict, one would also think if it's a strategy so They'll be able to sell him for a good value when it's time.
I was amongst those that said he'll make his switch to Chelsea but we don't get what we want most at times, Yes? For now, he's mainly focused on the African Cup of Nations Competitions, after that, the season continues then we'll see..

Meanwhile the name Serhou Guirassy has decided to stay with Stuggart until the end of the season. Doubt he would move because he's currently Injured.
Real Madrid has made history with big money moves from players in the Premier League.( Owen, Beckham, Macmanaman, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard ) I won't be boggled or mind blown of Erling Haaland adds to this list of players!!

When Messi came to Inter Miami their game changed, moreover they started winning, so Messi has an influence unequivocally. As for his game in PSG, the tactics were really not under Messi, he only had to assist Mbappe, and the fans didn't like him, so he didn't speak well of the club after he left.  I wonder how PSG will build their game after Mbappe leaves in the summer

They should better have a backup plan for the team after Mbappe leaves because it is not going to be easy for them to continue in this form without a player as relevant as Mbappe. PSG should be more than certain that Mbappe is going to leave them this season, so I expect their back up plan to be fully ready by end of the season. Mbappe needs to win other trophies, but with PSG, there’s a big limitation to the trophies he’s going to get throughout his career unless he switch the club. Sometimes it is not about how prominence a team is, but the number of quality players present in the team at that time and the quality coach attach to them.

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

I only found out today that Mourinho was sacked. In the news I read, he even left the training ground in tears. Indeed, Mourinho did not have many achievements with Roma, he only gave 1 UEFA Conference League trophy and managed to take Roma to the European Cup Final. There is news if Man United wants him, but he also does not have a big achievement with Man United. Maybe this time Mourinho is no longer a coach with the nickname The Specialist One but The Sacked One because he is fired more often than giving trophies to the club.

This is so sad and I felt for him to be in tears as a result of the sack. AS Roma to me didn’t do him well by asking him to leave at this point. At least he won them a trophy that they haven’t won before which they need to be appreciable for. If he was sacked because of his performance in the serie A this season, I don’t think there’s any coach that will replace him and perform better than what he did for the team with they calibre of players in that team currently. The special one is still special but to those who value his specialty.

I think they had a very good team, especially when neymar and messi were playing, the attack was flawless, but in the end they couldn't win anything even with that squad. The maximum they could achieve was the Champions League final in 2020 and they never came close to that result..

Name them, Broja and Jackson are promising young strikers but they're not capable of leading an elite team like the Blues. Chelsea frontlines are not sharp and they're not striving their best to enchanced the position of the club. How can we explain the numerous chances they've missed on pitch, definitely not an helping hand for the team and the coach is been put in critical position. A top nine is what Chelsea needs at the moment, one of the good players that would lifts the burden of the club and rendered good contributions for goals. Chelsea are serious when it comes to transfer but the big barrier on their path is their ambition for overhyped players.

It was not a good decision to fire Jose Mourinho and choose De Rossi as the main coach even though he will be the coach until the end of this season.

I don't understand why he was fired in the middle of the road when let him finish the task until the end at least with the 6th position again for Roma it was good enough for them, but maybe they judged that the current position of 9th could not be saved anymore by Jose Mourinho so he preferred to be fired rather than continued failure, which surprised De Rossi who was appointed as an inexperienced coach.

I only see news through social media Jose Mourinho is always associated with the Arab team, it's not certain Mourinho always rejects it, then there is a chance at Newcastle? I don't know about this because despite Newcastle's losing streak with a mid-table return they are not planning to sack Howe on deck.

Surprise!Surprise! It has been reported that Arsenal is in talks with benzema to potentially loan him from al ittihad, and it's exciting to see that there is a possibility of him joining the English Premier League this season. I would like to see him join in the chelsea but it seems like that arsenal is one step ahead compared to the chelsea.
Don't take it seriously caused by benzema join in a club that has never won UCL. It was shocking me that i never expect that if arsenal would be interesting to sign him as a new player. I was hoeping that benzema to stay but it seems like that he will be interesting to play in the premier league.

It's unbelievable Arteta want to sign an old player, he's one of manager who always like to sign a new player. Even though it looks good for both Benzema and Arsenal, but Benzema is taking risk. If Arsenal didn't make it, people will put the blame on Benzema since people are hoping him can able to become a goal scorer just like when he was in Real Madrid.

Very surprised to hear this news because as you said Arteta usually always thinks about new players who are still young to get talented player in the long term but I believe this is something we have to look into more deeply.
After I looked into this regarding Benzema, it seems that Arteta just wants to try new options because this is only on loan so there's no harm in trying with a slightly older player even though it looks little silly, but I'm sure that Arteta goal is to place Benzema in the striker position to strengthen the attack line.
I imagine it would be quite good to see Benzema in the striker position working with Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and other players who would be very solid.
But I would not agree if Benzema went to Chelsea because the results would be very bad.
I'm also still curious whether this news has been confirmed or it just a rumor.

I think Chelsea's buying activity is beyond reason. They buy young players at exorbitant prices, even though their performance cannot be said to be good just because in the previous season their performance according to statistics was quite good. If you think about it, Chelsea only follows Arsenal, Man United and Liverpool. They hunt for hyped players at a young age, and hope to become stars in a short time. I think the Chelsea board needs to question its expertise because up to now it can be said that Chelsea's performance with the composition of these players is only struggling in 9th position with statistics from 21 matches, only winning 9 times, losing 4 times and drawing 8 times. They must immediately improve to be able to penetrate the top 5 positions, because it is quite unfortunate that Chelsea is a big team but currently their performance is very worrying.

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”.

Ok good that you share this statement, but I have to say that this is ridiculous and I chose polite words for this. It reminds me of the trash that Ronaldo was talking when he was asked why he went to Saudi Arabia.

I think at some point it becomes so obvious that it made me feel ashamed for them when I listed to what they claimed to be their reason for playing in Saudi Arabia. "Build the league"....

I wish that the European clubs would say go fuck yourself and stay in awesome Saudi Arabia. All these money grabs and then they start crying and come back.

I believe Manchester City will treat Haaland very well, just like PSG treats Mbappe and it make Mbappe don't want to leave. However Real Madrid still have an another choice even they can't get either Haaland or Mbappe, it's Osimhen.

Napoli isn't a big team, they don't have a good amount of money if Osimhen insist to increase his salary. Napoli isn't a strong team too, they won in the last season, but they can't be consistent. While Real Madrid, they can pay high salary and they're one of strongest football team who tend to become champion.

Before Real Madrid considers signing Osimehn from Napoli, they must have exhausted all hopes of not getting to sign Mbappe or Haaland by next season. It appears that Mbappe will leave the club soon, but Haaland will not, especially now that Pep Guardiola remains the head coach of Manchester City. They've formed a strong bond, and I don't think they'll want to be apart or face each other as rivals anytime soon.

Let Real Madrid focus more on Mbappe and Osimehn in the next transfer window because Haaland does not appear to be leaving Manchester City anytime soon, especially given what he has helped the club achieve in the year since joining. The team will not want him to leave and will do everything possible to keep him for another few years and benefit from his presence before allowing him to join another club.

[rendravolt]

What is clear, as you say, is that Mourinho wants to rest for a while and parting ways with Roma is something that drains his emotional side. Mourinho has never been involved in problems with clubs, players or fans so yesterday's farewell to Roma was very sad for him. I hope he returns soon to coach a new team next season because he always misses his action as a coach in a match.

Mourinho contract will actually expire in June 2024, but surprisingly the Roma owner has fired him unilaterally and this has obviously shocked many people, even though Mourinho has actually said that his future at Roma will be decided in June later, but it turns out that the Roma owner turns out to be first taking the decision to mourinho fired, I think Mourinho will get big compensation later, as a legendary coach, of course it won't take long for Mourinho to get a new club and maybe he will return to the Premier League or maybe there will be a big offer coming from Arab League later, let's see where Special One will continue his adventure later!

I think Roma's management was no longer happy with the bad results they were getting and therefore finally made this heartless decision. I saw footage of Mourinho leaving the Roma training ground for the last time and he looked very pale and still couldn't believe he was leaving Roma so soon. Mourinho looked like he was holding back tears but he had to be strong in facing such a tough decision as a coach.

The Premier League or any league would certainly be very happy if he got the services of one of the best coaches and maybe if his passion is to lead a club at a competitive level then he should accept an offer from a European club but if he is bored and just wants to relax maybe the Saudi league will take advantage of the situation Mourinho is currently without coaching a club.

While Real Madrid, they can pay high salary and they're one of strongest football team who tend to become champion.

Haaland is a special player, he is the machine goal of Man City. Without him, we can see the decrease of goals productivity of Man City. Considering how important Haaland for Man City, he must be treated very well. Man City must have no intention to sell Haaland whatever the offer made by other teams. So, it is very doubtful if Real Madrid tries to sign Haaland.

Real Madrid still has the chance to sign Mbappe as long as Mbappe doesn't extend his contract with PSG. But Real Madrid must be patient to wait for his contract expires. So far, I heard Mbappe still prioritized to move to Real Madrid if he leaves PSG. Although he is linked with some top teams in EPL, I'm not sure the chance will be higher than moving to Real Madrid. Meanwhile for Osimhen, he must be the alternative if Real Madrid can't sign Mbappe. Osimhen price is also quite expensive, Napoli sets the minimum prize around €200m. That price isn't so much different with Haaland's market value.

[KTChampions]

Another invention of journalists. But by the way, if I’m not mistaken, there is a possibility that Guardiola will leave after this season, not from City but to retire altogether - it seems in one of the interviews he “promised” to do this if he can repeat the treble.
Regarding Haaland, information has emerged that Real Madrid have already begun to contact his entourage and are still counting on Bellingham to help convince him to move to Madrid.

It would be very interesting if Madrid paid Haaland release clause, because we would see one of the PSG players who always flirts with Florentino become jealous. Of course with Bellingham, Haaland suitability is beyond doubt. Regarding Pep Guardiola, I think this has become an open secret where in the end Man City worries could come true. After all Pep Guardiola  has provided what Man City has never achieved. So there is no burden for him to leave at any time.

180 million does not look like a big amount given the way transfers are going now. Even Barcelona bought the old Lewandowski (who had only one year left on his contract) for 60 million. Getting Haaland, who will be in prime for the next 5 years, sounds like an easy choice. And even if Real doesn't make this deal, it's good that such an option exists at all because it puts pressure on Mbappe and ruins his favorite game of "auction for the best striker".

Exactly, you are on the right track. Chelsea need to increase their performance this season in order to sustain and manage their reputation as a big team in football. Although Chelsea is trying this season, to be sincere, the fans of Chelsea are not happy due to their performance. Although they are currently in the 9th position in the season, to be sincere is not still enough because the matches that Chelsea are going to draw with are with most teams that they are stronger than, but still they are falling the hands of Chelsea fans, which is making the fans have a hard time. Although they are already used to such experiences, that is the game for Chelsea.

Chelsea needs to identify their weaknesses, find a solution regarding their present performance, and pave the way for a win for the team in order to bring back its former reputation as one of the best teams. I think it should be what they should face to improve the team's present situation.

I believe Manchester City will treat Haaland very well, just like PSG treats Mbappe and it make Mbappe don't want to leave. However Real Madrid still have an another choice even they can't get either Haaland or Mbappe, it's Osimhen.

What do you mean by the word "treat"? As in been treated well financially or homely? If it's financially I will say Yes and it's nothing special, the relationship that bond Mbape and PSG is his talent to play and get paid in return, they like him and want to keep him because he is good and they have the resources to entice him to stay in their club but the fans and the club maltreated him when he doesn't want to stay, very toxic club while Haaland is treated homely and financially, you hardly hear of them fight between players and the managers or even the club.

Napoli isn't a big team, they don't have a good amount of money if Osimhen insist to increase his salary. Napoli isn't a strong team too, they won in the last season, but they can't be consistent. While Real Madrid, they can pay high salary and they're one of strongest football team who tend to become champion.

When are you guys going to stop this Osimhen transfer discussion, he has just recently signed a new deal with Napoli that he is going to stay still 2026 which I think he is choice, he might see what we are not seeing but even me I don't like the fact that he still remain in that club but it's what it's, his choice and we can't take that but know him for one thing that he is smart, there will be option for a buy in that new contract so that he can live anytime if he is not satisfy again.
