⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[red4slash]

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.

Sacking Mourinho now is a bad decision. You don't expect them to keep him till things get worse than it already is? They're 9th on the table and I don't see how there can be a turnaround this season with Mourinho in charge. Mourinho is a manager who has a short-term impact on any team he manages, so if good results don't come, there's no point keeping him for long hoping for things to change.

We can't say for sure that this was a bad decision because it could have been a good situation for Roma by replacing Mourinho with De Rosi.

Indeed, sacking a veteran coach like Mourinho and replacing him with a new kid on the block (albeit one of the club's legends) would have presented an unconvincing situation as we would have doubted the transition and the chemistry between the new coach and the players but in the end we realised that this was a gamble by Roma.

They know that the current situation they will definitely be pounded with pros and cons for sacking Mou and replacing him with De Rosi but on the other hand in the end things like this depend on performance because indeed now the pros and cons are still speculation and we have to see De Rosi's performance in coaching Roma whether this choice is right or not.

Indirectly you are saying that we already know Mbappe will not go on transfer this time but we still have to discuss it because it is a good situation to be in?
I actually think otherwise, indeed in this case when a transfer will definitely be seasoned by this kind of thing to make it look more interesting but when it is discussed too overhype when we already know that it will not happen isn't it just a waste of time.

I think in this case almost everyone is aware that the transfer about Mbappe in this transfer window will not be able to succeed and he will not leave in January this time but we seem to refuse to say that just because this is a discussion worth saying in the transfer season when things like this actually only increase speculation and waste time because the certainty that Mbappe stays at PSG in January this time is likely to happen.

Mbappe would never, never ever leave PSG this January. It would make absolutely no sense if PSG decided to let him go before the next round of the Champions League even starts. I would bet everything I have that he will be a PSG player at least until the end of this season. Anything else would be ridiculous.

The main goal PSG has is the Champions League title and now that they are in the round of 16, there is nothing more they can ask for as of now. Their focus is on those games and there are rumors all the time about Mbappe. Now there are new rumors talking about PSG going for a last resort offer for Mbappe to extend his contract, but as long as no officials confirm this, I doubt anything can be relied upon.

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?

It was his choice from the start and he knew the consequences of failing.
At the end of the day, even though the SPL is a comfortable place for older players, we must also know that sometimes performance still matters.
Hendo played too long comfortably at Liverpool even though the EPL tension is different but in this case he is still very good because he is supported by quality players but it is different when talking about the SPL because in this case when he is in the SPL he is definitely required to create a miracle just like Cristiano did with Alnassr because after all the SPL club pays dearly in addition to exposure, this is also to improve the performance of the club so it will definitely be a burden if the expectations given do not match the expectations that occur.

Well Mbappe or Haaland to Real is quite crazy and could be seen as probably not gonna happen because they are supposed to take over the boots of Leo and Ronaldo. Yes the fee for the both could be quite crazy but ain’t a big deal for Real, however among the above stated players, Mbappé is the most likely to move to Madrid, with reasons that Haaland still got a long contact with City and it would cost Madrid a lot cause of his release clause, whereas Mbappé just have some months left and would cost them not very much to lure him to the Bernabeu.

 The Saudis and some oil clubs are one reason why we’ve got crazy transfer fee in football. Like when you compare the likes of Caicedo, Mudryk, Anthony and how much they’re offering to their clubs and how much the likes of Mbappe or Haaland can offer then that alone should make their transfer fee bizzare. Well the competition between these 2 will be one reason they won’t be able to play for same club because they both want to be on the lime light Nd not hiding under the shadow of the other.

In my opinion why should link Halaand with another team in this January transfer window. In fact, there is no strong rumor that suggests that Halaand relationship with Manchester City is breaking down so that he will leave for another team. I think Haaland is quite comfortable at Manchester City and he also has a good relationship with the players and also with Guardiola so Haaland will definitely not leave for another team at this time. Even Manchester City doesn't plan to give up their goal machine to another team even though the offer on the table is quite large. So far, Haaland has been the spearhead in every match played by Manchester City and Manchester City's success in the previous season of course cannot be separated from Haaland contribution in every match.

So, Mbappe could leave for another team after his contract with PSG ends.  But recently PSG has offered a new contract to their star player with a fairly large salary offer in their new offer. Well, if this offer is rejected by Mabppe then we will see Mbappe in another team's uniform next season. I think he is very close to joining Real Madrid, especially as there are many rumors circulating that Mbappe has already made contact with Real Madrid.

Moise Kean has a deal with Atletico Madrid.

If Correa will leave Madrid he will join the until the end of the season.

Moise Kean of Juventus ? Looks like he has struggled to get suitors since his breakthrough at Juventus but why Atlético madrid? Will get game time ? He has had different spells at different club sides including psg without a super season, so you think this willl be different in Madrid with Simeone ?

It's quite simple how we will find out whether it was a good decision to sack Mourinho or not. Or maybe it can already be said that the decision was at least not dumb since Mourinho didn't make a good impression as a coach for quite a while now. But was it the right decision to replace him with De Rossi? He doesn't have much experience at all and his last job was for a club in Serie C. It's definitely an experiment for the club. De Rossi can't complain as he is given a nice chance now to establish himself as a respectable coach.

But I doubt that many people understand how complicated his job now is. If Roma was playing utterly bad, his job would be easier because almost any result could be deemed a success. But now his job is to bring back Roma into a top 4 or top 5 position and that is very hard as Roma isn't a high quality team, yet the club bosses still have their goals. I think De Rossi won't be able to improve the team.

Moise Kean has a deal with Atletico Madrid.

If Correa will leave Madrid he will join the until the end of the season.

Moise Kean's market value is nearly the same as Angel Correa's. Kean is a much younger version of Correa as well. Both player can play as centre-forwards even though Correa's natural position is right wing. I think this could be a good investment by Atletico Madrid. Kean has played in 12 games with Juventus so far in the season but 0 goal.

I think he just doesn't belong with them. Maybe Atletico Madrid can be a second chance for the young player to improve his finishing skills and become a much better player in the long term.

Moise Kean has a deal with Atletico Madrid.

If Moise Kean admits that he is unlucky number 2, no one would dare admit that he is number 1. Since the beginning of the season until now, Kean has scored three times in the opponent's net in Serie A but has yet to be recognized when VAR denied him many times. And Kean finds himself with limited playing time under Max Allegri. Although Juventus is home to some of Italy's top strikers, Kean finds himself lower down the pecking order. Moise Kean no longer has a place at Juventus after the appearance of young talent Kenan Yildiz, not to mention Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik. Atletico Madrid may want to bring Moise Kean to Wanda Metropolitano in the context of Memphis Depay's recent injury. This can be considered an opportunity for him to try his luck.

According to news from The Athletic, Armando Broja has the opportunity to leave Stamford Bridge in January 2024.
https://theathletic.com/5208430/2024/01/17/chelsea-armando-broja-transfer/
The poor performance given by Broja may be due to just returning from a long injury at the start of the 2023/24 season. So far, the 22 year old player has only appeared in 617 minutes in all competitions this season. This poor performance may be one of the reasons for releasing Broja, but Chelsea is asking a price of 35 million to 50 million pounds for the player from Albania. Broja has been linked with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Fulham. Both teams want to increase their attack power.

If i am not mistaken Armando Broja is from Chelsea Academy and he was loaned several times to the different clubs to gets more minutes to play and he has impressive performance on those clubs at that time but i don't know why when Armando Broja return to Chelsea he was unable to performing well and the speculation about his future now appears because he was not first option for Mauricio Pochettino especially Chelsea has Jackson and Nkunku so i don't think Broja will gets any place on Chelsea starting lineup for each matches so probably leave Chelsea is good for his career

Actually Chelsea considering to hold this player because Broja can be used as the substitution of Nkunku or Jackson but Chelsea are willing to listen the offers from those who want to buy him and Chelsea recently has provide his price tag approximately 35-50 millions but with his quality i am not sure there is a team who dare to buy Broja with his current price tag and even Wolves don't have any plan to buy him this january because Wolves only want to loan him which most likely this offers will be refused by Chelsea

"Verbal Agreement" I think we will hear the official news about it within 1-2 days.
And the funny thing is, there is already a schedule of friendly match in Jan 24th Al Shabab vs AS Roma lol.
So if that really happens, Mou must face his former club in less than a week.

Still haven't heard news from reporters we know like Fabrzio Romano saying Jose Mourinho has reached an agreement with Al-Shabab.
Is it true there will be a fixture between Al-Shabab vs Roma, I missed this news?
Maybe Mourinho will be very angry and want to beat Roma as his concern, but I still doubt like coach Mourinho should go to the Arab league.

The rumour about Morinho's move to Saudi has been ringing bell in the media of recent times, Morinho has been officially sacked by Roma who felt the man isn't good enough to take them to tittle glory,even when he made them get to the finals of the Europa league,they didn't still see it.Morinho will soon get used to being sacked at any team he manages,he was sacked at Chelsea,United and almost all the teams he has coached,he hasn't left a club smoothly without being sacked by the management of the club,and it is this same reason that makes them call him a three season's coach.

There have been snowball effect for the club like almost all of roma fans were urging the owner to sell the club and leave from serie a. Jose was a good player but roma was stupid enough to put respect on him. Im concering about how he has been fired by the club.
Roma becomes very disrespectful toward him and this is the main problem. I as far as i know that if mourinho has already received the new offer from al shabab, it was one of saudi pro league team.

Mourinho was good but roma was so stupid to sack him while roma was still on the way to enter into the top 4. It was a disaster for the club to sack a good coach like him and this is blunder to the club.
Mounrho can still use its experience as a coach to attract so many clubs to get him soon. The only problem if he has been sacked at the middle of season. The thing was different if it was at the end of season.

Moise Kean during his early days at Juventus showed great signs of a footballer who was going become one of the best players in the world. It's been long I last saw him on the screen playing  football for Juventus but I also think he will be a great signing for Atletico Madrid should they complete his signing. Statistics have proven that he's been prolific this season for Juventus and that's why I think he's gonna succeed at Atletico Madrid should the deal materialize.

Replacing Mourinho with Daniele De Rossi looks like a gamble. But, sometimes, bringing in a coach with a fresh perspective can invigorate a team. De Rossi as a legendary player for Roma understands the club's culture and may bring a different approach to coaching. This move offers De Rossi a significant opportunity to establish himself as a coach at a higher level. It's a chance for him to prove his capabilities and potentially grow into a successful managerial career.

The expectations set for De Rossi to bring Roma back into a top 4 or top 5 position add immense pressure. Managing a team with such ambitions requires tactical astuteness and experience in handling top-level competitions. Reaching top 4 or top 5 in Serie A demands not only tactical prowess but also a competitive squad, and this could be a significant challenge for De Rossi. The club and fans to set realistic expectations given De Rossi's relative inexperience. While ambitious goals are commendable, there should be an understanding that significant improvement may take time.

Maybe Mourinho will be very angry and want to beat Roma as his concern, but I still doubt like coach Mourinho should go to the Arab league.

Referring to the Mirror report, Jose Mourinho reached a verbal agreement with his new club just days after AS Roma's dismissal. on the same page, Mourinho has reached a verbal agreement to become the new manager of Al Shabab, according to reports from Saudi Arabia. apart from that, Saudi Arabian journalist Turki Alghamdi, via his social media, claimed that the coach who had managed several top elite European clubs had informed Al Shabab that he was ready to immediately join the Saudi Pro League. in his upload on social media, Alghamdi said that Jose Mourinho had officially given his approval to Al Shabab management, and the agreement was now just waiting for approval from the finance committee of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Sports.

Apart from that, the same report was reported by The Sun. Jose Mourinho will take over Saudi Arabian team Al Shabab after leaving AS Roma. In fact, there are still several other newspapers that report the same thing. but as you said, I also haven't checked the social media of the famous journalist Fabrizio Romano. however, in reality, Romano does not always report news which is currently a hot topic of discussion in this discussion. Regarding what you asked about Al-Shabab vs Roma, I'm not sure if the news or rumors are true. However, if Mourinho is ultimately willing to train a Saudi club, it is not impossible that this is true news. however, to ensure the validity of this rumor or news. Let's just follow the next developments.

I wouldn't say it is a gamble as it's not like they have to lose very much. Roma won't be relegated into Serie B because of De Rossi, but as I said before the expectations could be wrong from the very beginning. I am saying this because they didn't just fire any coach. They fired Mourinho and if a new, young coach comes in I think replacing Mourinho does by itself define the expectations the club might have. The implicit requirement for De Rossi is: "Be more successful than Mourinho was until now this season". More than that, they definitely want to make into the Europa League at least and given how strong some of the other teams are, it is quite a tough goal to achieve.

This move offers De Rossi a significant opportunity to establish himself as a coach at a higher level.

I agree with you. It is like a gambling because AS Roma replaced an experienced coach with an inexperienced coach. Daniele De Rossi as a legend footballer, but he functions as a manager now. The success as a professional player can't determine the success as a manager (coach). Daniele De Rossi may understand well the nature of AS Roma team, but is it enough to compete with other teams? With no experience managing top teams, it will be always doubtful how De Rossi can improve AS Roma performance.

The expectations set for De Rossi to bring Roma back into a top 4 or top 5 position add immense pressure. Managing a team with such ambitions requires tactical astuteness and experience in handling top-level competitions. Reaching top 4 or top 5 in Serie A demands not only tactical prowess but also a competitive squad, and this could be a significant challenge for De Rossi.

I think AS Roma squad isn't competitive enough to finish in the UCL zone (top 4). De Rossi may bring some changes and AS Roma can perform better. But to compete with Fiorentina and Atalanta who performed more consistently, seems quite difficult for AS Roma. If they are lucky, I think the best position that can be reachable is the top 5.

But what exactly is the miracle that Ronaldo has created at Al-Nassr? I don't see a miracle happening there. Ronaldo has a least level of performance that he demands from himself. He is not a player who doesn't give a shit once the contract is signed and he can prevail even in an environment that he doesn't really like. And anybody can tell me whatever they want, but Ronaldo doesn't like the SPL. He is there because they are adding half a billion to his bank account and probably much more than that over the coming years as I think he will retain some function for Saudi Arabian football. But Henderson is overwhelmed. He loves the money there, but not the game.

I would bet everything I have that he will be a PSG player at least until the end of this season. Anything else would be ridiculous.

It sounds non sense. No reason for PSG to keep mbapp if his contract will be running out. Mbappe was stuck at PSG and he needs to explore more from other club to improve his performance. Im not even agree to see that mbappe stays in PSG much longer.
It will be only harming his performance and he needs to explore the club that will give him more possibility to get UCL this season. PSG has been trying to convince him to stay in the club a few times and he has rejected it all.

I see no chance to hope mbappe to stay much longer than this time.

The main goal PSG has is the Champions League title and now that they are in the round of 16, there is nothing more they can ask for as of now. Their focus is on those games and there are rumors all the time about Mbappe. Now there are new rumors talking about PSG going for a last resort offer for Mbappe to extend his contract, but as long as no officials confirm this, I doubt anything can be relied upon.

UCL has always become the main target by PSG since a few years ago but this club has failed many times on getting it. No doubt that if people are starting to feel doubt about the progress of PSG this season. The result will remain the same as previous seasons if PSG will fail in UCL this time.
It's impossible for PSG to extend his contract caused by mbappe still stands with his previous choice to leave from PSG after his contract will be running out. It's only matter of time till we will see him join in the other club.

Moise Kean has a deal with Atletico Madrid.

If Correa will leave Madrid he will join the until the end of the season.

If a barter deal takes place between athletico and juventus between Keane and Corera without adding money. athletico madrid has a big advantage to win a lot. because Keane is still young, his career is still long and he can develop into a top player at a high price.

[asriloni]

Chelsea is about to put their player, Armando Broja for sale.
There are some teams like Wolverhampton, West Ham, and Fulan that want to hire Armando Broja from Chelsea and buy this player, but Chelsea didn't show any reactions and they didn't say anything about their player.
But recently Chelsea said they could sell this player for 65 million euros which is a huge amount of money, however, Armando Broja is a young and talented player.

Who the heck is club willing to buy him at such an expensive price? what a non sense price from chelsea. I knew that chelsea has bought him with a lot of money but he was failed to deliver. It's time for chelsea to let him leave from the club but 65 millions was too much for a striker that was only collecting a few goals till this time. Im sure that those clubs will be running away from broja caused by non sense price given by chelsea. It sounds a non sense thing if there will be one of them to buy broja with such price. That's too good to be true for broja to leave from chelsea with that price. Guirassy from stuttgart was also fuckin cheaper compared to the broja. What's a special thing about him? i see nothing on broja.

He was average striker that was always running in the field caused by rarely getting the ball. Broja was also very bad in the ball control too. Im only wondering what things that makes those clubs interested to acquire him as a new striker.
Those teams are probably thinking that chelsea may be selling him for cheap price but the opposite thing was just happening recently.  

Broja was obviously useless.

According to news from The Athletic, Armando Broja has the opportunity to leave Stamford Bridge in January 2024.
https://theathletic.com/5208430/2024/01/17/chelsea-armando-broja-transfer/
The poor performance given by Broja may be due to just returning from a long injury at the start of the 2023/24 season. So far, the 22 year old player has only appeared in 617 minutes in all competitions this season. This poor performance may be one of the reasons for releasing Broja, but Chelsea is asking a price of 35 million to 50 million pounds for the player from Albania. Broja has been linked with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Fulham. Both teams want to increase their attack power.

It must not be an excuse, de bruyne was also returning from his long injury but he can still deliver it even when he was playing in the first match. I don't know who the heck the scouting team of chelsea but they have never done their job properly
The only question is now do those clubs have the will to buy broja at that price?

All i see is Chelsea fans ranting. If they eventually sell Broja for that price it is going to be a win win for you and the club, making such amount on a player that has no much use for the club. If i were you i would pray they succeed so they club will have enough money to finance the purchase of a better striker.

Sometimes, the small club could use their sense better than the big club. Those clubs can try to take him as a loan first before trying to buy him with no sense price.  Selling a garbage striker like him with expensive price will be a win situation for the club but that's only happening if there would be a club who was willing to pay that big to the chelsea. Chelsea has been recruiting too many expensive players with low skills in the football. I would rather see this club as a donator instead of buyer.
It has been strongly demonstrated from some transfers done by chelsea. This club is terrible at buying and selling the players.
