⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[slapper]

I think KDB should bow out now the ovation is loudest as he’s really good at what he does for the club. He’s got some very good offer from other leagues and that’ll be best for him to go and enjoy the Saudi League.

Oh wow, De Bruyne should leave competitive football in Europe, dump the best club in the world, pack his bags and move to Saudi Arabia with his family, all at the age of 32, and for what? Money. That's ridiculous and i am pretty certain that is never going to happen. De Bruyne is at a pivotal time in his career, a time he could win more honors and add it to all he has already won, it will be stupid to throw all that away for a move to Saudi.

Having said that, take a look at most of the players that moved to Saudi some months ago, you can see many of them are not happy despite the huge amount they are being paid, it is hard to leave competitive football when you are not yet above 35-36 at least. Henderson for example already moved back to Europe leaving Saudi. There is no chance in hell that KDB will make such a move.

Be honest - De Bruyne heading to Saudi Arabia now would be shocking. Football is unpredictable, but this? Not likely. As an important player for Manchester City, De Bruyne is still at his best at 32. He wanted to play alongside Ronaldo in Saudi? Interesting, but more 'what if' than possible. The priority for KDB right now seems to be competing at the highest level and winning more titles. Yes, some players may want to relocate to Saudi for the money, but KDB doesn't seem to be. The game and win are his motivation, as shown on the pitch

Dybala is not such an old player, he is only 30 years old and his problems are not in age, but in injuries, which began to happen to him during the season more and more often, but there are no other players of this level, except Lukaku at Roma. Without Dybala, it is much more difficult for Roma to create chances in attack and if the club does not buy someone to replace Dybala, it will be even worse.

In general, very strange behavior of Roma owners. There are almost no new transfers, top-level players are becoming less and less every year, and they decided instead of trying to build a good transfer strategy, just to fire Mourinho.

I never liked the idea of sacking Jose Mourinho as the head coach of the team. That was not where the problem of the team lies but they overlooked the problem and has to vent their anger on Mourinho. Now that they’ve sacked him, I hope they can now show their best quality in the league games. Jose Mourinho was able to win a trophy for them since joining them and was able to manage the players well. The inability of the team to provide more funds to purchase new and qualitative players was the cause of their downfall and being the head coach, you can do more than what you’re provided with to use. I felt pity for Jose Mourinho, he didn’t deserved to be sacked. I want to see how the new coach will perform for the team, I don’t wish him bad but success. Time will tell if the replacement was worth it or not.

If Mourinho had been a little more lucky, Roma could have won the Europa League and there were rumors that it was after that lost final that the management wanted to fire Mourinho, and then he still openly criticized the position of the owners on transfers, which is generally fair, given what players bought or more often just signed a contract with those whose old contract expired and who could not find a normal team.

Mourinho before Roma thought about leaving for the Saudi League, but then changed his mind and chose Roma, believing that he would be able to build a new team and now we know that is not a good idea and probably Saidy league would be better for Mourinho.

[QueenVera]

There are many who do not agree with Roma's decision to fire Jose Mourinho, especially Roma fans, because since Jose Mourinho was choaching, Roma has improved and at least Jose Mourinho can give Roma one title. Considering Roma's low resources, but Jose Mourinho is still trying his best maybe for Roma to achieve satisfactory results and I think Roma's decision was too sudden. There maybe indeed big problems between Jose Mourinho and the board, causing the board to be angry and not accept it and immediately made the decision to fire Jose Mourinho. I don't know the actual problem between the coach and the board but it seems like this has become a unanimous decision for Roma.

Yes, the management should not only think about changing coaches because the club's problems do not only lie with the coach but also with the quality of the players and so far Roma has only relied on Romelu Lukaku and Dybala. The management should also think about adding to the squad to improve the performance of the players so that Roma can still compete competitively with other rivals, especially in European competitions.

Roma are a good side. Their manager Mourinho has some kind of special ability to raise up a team into a pretty much successful squad. Even with the loopholes they're faced with, he's still been able to help the team stand out in some games. Injury has definitely been a number one deprivation of a team's performance but the manager has been able to make do with the players and squad he's got available and even though not perfect as expected, they're not relenting in their efforts.

 Although their performance against teams in the league didn't fully get good commendation but still they tried to secure the points to themselves. The European competition would definitely favour them, they only need to strive to win a ticket. Good thing also that their striker is at his peak performance and he's always capable of delivering the team to victory in dire moments. I'd admit that the team and manager are very much compatible maybe it's the resonance that's natural or maybe Mourinho's great coaching ability at work but at the moment, the situation in the team is in safe hands and patiently and gently, they'd stride to the spots they want to be.

[KTChampions]

What's the point of him playing for City until he's 40, if he can go to Saudi Arabia and earn as much before he's 35 as he would earn playing for City until he's 40? Maybe he doesn't have enough titles? And does he really need an 8th Premier League title (or how many does he already have)?
In City he has already won everything he could, so now he can play purely for the sake of money.
Besides, it’s good that you compared him with Modric - in the end, Real was able to ensure that Modric received the highest individual award - the Ballon d'Or, but City will never do anything for KDB.

Teams from the Premier League will not keep players who are old they will definitely dispose of them one day because they will be replaced by young players who are more productive, well now it can still be said that Kevin De Bruyne can still be relied on by his team, just look at the next few seasons he will often experience problems including from his fitness.

True one or two more seasons he can play by enjoying a lot of money from Arab if he really wants to go there, it will still be a legend at Manchester City because it has become a great midfielder even though it has separated later, so I think Kevin De Bruyne still has a chance for that.

He is far from old at the moment - he is 32 years old and turns 33 this summer. For many footballers, these are still the golden years/years at or near their peak. But if he wants to move to Saudi Arabia, then he must do it right now - firstly, it is not a fact that in a couple of years they will offer the same astronomical salaries (one way or another the situation should level out), and secondly, he must come there in normal form and not on the decline. As we see in the example of Benzema, everything can turn out very badly if you do not meet the expectations of the fans there.

[Velvet78]

It looks like Ivan Toney isn't leaving Brentford just yet. Because some sources say that he has decided to stay at least until the end of the season. Chelsea and Arsenal have been the most interested teams in him recently and they will have to wait for a little more then. But will it be worth the wait? I think yeah, definitely. 

Because Toney is a very capable striker you know. He was a great scorer before getting the lasting punishment. Now he is back in action and he already scored a goal in his last game. He is definitely a good alternative for some bigger teams at the moment.

[Lannakosa]

Mourinho before Roma thought about leaving for the Saudi League, but then changed his mind and chose Roma, believing that he would be able to build a new team and now we know that is not a good idea and probably Saidy league would be better for Mourinho.

If at one time he chose Roma, then for Mourinho it’s not about money, it seems that he has enough of it to live a prosperous life. It's a matter of ambition, he wanted to prove once again that he can win, and this happened when he won the Conference League Cup, and perhaps he could win the Europa League, but the reason for his dismissal now is probably the poor results in the Italian championship.

Today I saw the news that Mourinier rejected offers from Saudi Arabia and is preparing for a meeting with De Laurentiis, perhaps to lead Napoli and continue working in Serie A. They also write that Mourinier was seen yesterday at the Barcelona airport, so perhaps Mourinier will not be left without work for long .

Jose Mourinho is also doing things that are outdated and wrong at the current status of football which has evolved from what it used to be when he won all of the glories he had from before.
He needs to take some time off the coaching system and work on himself. Most of his tactics are still considered old and outdated believe me it's the best time to do that. It's good to see that he's not taking decisions too fast over joining a new club immediately.

He said he'll maybe consider it but for now, he'll be without a job. Roma although didn't get him the names he wanted. They didn't back upthe manager and it's hurting even when he left.

It is still early for KDB to go to SPL. SPL teams pay huge amounts of money, but the lifestyle doesn't seem to be conducive to the players. I don't know if KDB chooses that league just for money. He is still doing his best for Manchester City. I don't think he will go to SPL next year either.

Because Toney is a very capable striker you know. He was a great scorer before getting the lasting punishment. Now he is back in action and he already scored a goal in his last game. He is definitely a good alternative for some bigger teams at the moment.

I'm not sure Ivan Toney will last long with Brentford this season even though he is being targeted by big clubs such as Manchester united, Chelsea and also Arsenal. His good performance in his debut match after being absent for a long time certainly made the teams who wanted to use his services even more interested in persuading Ivan Toney to accept their offer. For Manchester United, they are very interested in recruiting him because so far Manchester United front line needs a bomber who is truly productive in scoring goal.

Apart from that, I think Ivan Toney career would be much better if he joined a strong team like Arsenal or Manchester united rather than staying with Brentford. On the other hand, Brentford will prepare Ivan Toney with a clause value that is high enough so that these three teams will think long about putting an offer on the table.
But what I admire about Ivan Toney is that he was able to maintain his good quality because he was absent for quite a long time but when he returned to the field he immediately scored a goal. And of course the fans really want to see Ivan be able to stay with Brentftod for a long time.

The average age of midfielders is increasing in world football. Modric is still playing for Real Madrid at the age of 38. Kevin De Bruyne could play in Saudi Arabia after playing in the Premier League until he is 36. It is a bit too early for him to go to the Saudi Arabian Pro League. But if he wants to start earning more money earlier, the best option for him would be the Saudi Arabia Pro League. I want to watch him in Europe until the age of 36. After that, when his performance drops, I think he should go to a league where he can earn more money.

Chelsea and Arsenal have been the most interested teams in him recently and they will have to wait for a little more then. But will it be worth the wait? I think yeah, definitely. 

Those clubs who have been sending their interests toward him have been withdrawing it since brentford was not willing to decrease his price tag. Brentford demands 100 millions for him and is it a sense price for him? Im obsolutely disagree for those clubs like chelsea or even arsenal forced themselves to get him. He was not worth 100 millions. It was a scam. It will be so stupid if there will a club that buy him from brentford. Ivan tooney was fucking a big no.

Because Toney is a very capable striker you know. He was a great scorer before getting the lasting punishment. Now he is back in action and he already scored a goal in his last game. He is definitely a good alternative for some bigger teams at the moment.

Capable for what? he has been banned due to the his attitude and there will always be a chance for him to repeat it back again. The club needs to think for twice before try to sign him as a new striker.
I would like to call that as a gambling caused by he has been absent from playing in EPL very long. It's beyond my imagination to think that he will be playing even better than haaland. LMAO.

Yes. I think it's worth it. Toney has proven quality.
His playing style is also different from the strikers that Chelsea currently has.
This could have a good impact on the Blues' attack line. Mauricio Pochettino is very serious about signing Toney.
And I think Chelsea needs Toney more than Arsenal, But the race for Toney may become a race to see who can raise the necessary funds first.

Ivan Toney is still very young. And yes I absolutely agree that his career will be better if he does go to a strong club. Now it might take a while for him to find it regular place in the squad. Especially if he goes to a very strong club like Arsenal or Manchester City or some other club like that. But it is going to be better for him in the long run. He is still only 27 years age. So he still has a long time ahead of him. And these are his prime time. He should look to make the best use of this time. The fans are always obviously going to want the best thing to happen for their club.

In the past week, I have received no news regarding Ivan Toney with Arsenal or Chelsea. It seems that the fantastic price constraints mean that Arsenal and Chelsea need to consider it. in particular, they will try to find other, more ideal options. although the striker recently said he has a desire to play for a top club and refused to rule out the possibility of a move away from Thomas Frank's side during the January transfer window. from some of the news sources I've read, it's unlikely that Brentford will agree to a winter move, as the club are thought to want more than €100m for this month. Nevertheless, Brentford will find it difficult to keep hold of the Englishman this summer, as his contract expires in the summer of 2025.

According to journalist Dean Jones, Arsenal and Chelsea are the main candidates to sign Toney ahead of the 2024-25 season. Apart from that, United and Spurt are also paying close attention to developments, with these two clubs competing. Well, there is a big possibility that Toney will not leave Brentford this January.
Referring to another report tweeted by Romano, Arsenal followed Xavi Simons last summer, there will be a decision about him at the end of this season. plus what about that Benzema link.  Honestly, I don't understand the news regarding Benzema. However, it seems that this is related to the option of considering Benzema's loan from Al Ittihad. While Benzema will soon undertake to discuss his future, the situation is still tense at Al Ittihad. Well, let's just follow further developments. especially for Arsenal, I hope Arteta considers bringing in a number 9 player who can be relied on for goals in their squad.

[Luzin]

After officially leaving Man City, Omar Berrada was used by Man United as chief executive. Man United has great expectations of Berrada. They hope Berrada can bring Man United back to glory. With a pretty good track record, indeed Berrada is the key to Man City's success in bringing Haaland. He managed to bring Man city to success. But his departure from Man City may have opinions that arise. He left because Man City was in big trouble. Allegations of 115 cases that are in litigation.

This does not even look like something that can be realistic, this player is far from going to that league as opposed to many that think that everyone going there is for the money. Kevin De Bruyne is still in his top form and any team that he decides to play for now will want to increase is offer to a considerable amount that will make him stay back with them. He is still very much up to the standard of the challenging competitions in the Europe now unlike Modric and Kroos that are not fit for the games anymore. Kevin De Bruyne can join the league later but now, nothing is showing any sign of him joining them sooner.

Breaking news!

Jose Mourinho has turned down an approach from Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab after his Roma sacking last week.

https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jose-mourinho-rejects-al-shabab-roma-sacking-despite-previous-saudi-admission/bltc0530ad1adbbe792

Mourinho has officially rejected al shabab's interest in recruiting him. It seems like he cannot be consistent with his statement last season said that if mourinho was willing to accept any offer that came from saudi pro laegue. He had been showing his interest through his interview once he was still coaching roma but he is changing his mind regarding this. It seems like that the exodus for some players back to the european competition may become the real reason he was changing his mind.

Im sure that mou has been analyzing the performance from saudi pro league too. The growth is just getting even slower than before and mourinho is aware of that. I meant that mourinho was still feeling so badly after roma was sacking him.
He has been working with all of his heart in roma but the club could not even give him second chance to stay on as roma. That's really painful for him and i think mou is looking for another european club this time.

I hope he can find one that suits him. Mou deserves to get a good club. I hope newcastle can try to sign him as a new coach. The competition between him and Pep is set to take place once more, and we will be there to witness it.

He won't shine if he manages an unknown club, Al Shabab isn't a rich club and they haven't sign many popular European players like the other clubs e.g. Al Hilal, Al Ahli, Al Nassr etc. He knows if he can't change anything in Al Shabab, rather than destroying his own reputation, it's better for him to reject the offer.

Mourinho is just an old school coach, he didn't make adaption with the current modern football, what he can show is his past achievements.

I really support Ivan Toney being Arsenal target, it's just that the competition between the players there will definitely make Ivan Toney position uncertain and he could be hungry to share his time because the level of competition for Arsenal players is quite tight. Meanwhile at Chelsea it might be a little looser and could allow Ivan Toney to freely occupy a place in the front line because currently Chelsea is still inconsistent, especially in terms of the composition of the main squad. So Ivan Toney can get into the lineup without having to queue like at Arsenal.

I don't think it's a problem for Chelsea or Arsenal to wait longer to get Ivan Toney's services because I think he is a complete striker. He has become a topic of conversation for the elite EPL teams and at least if he leaves it will also be very good for his career. But as we can see, of course Arsenal is the team that can make him shine even more and if he is at Chelsea I don't guarantee he will be able to maintain his current performance.

At Arsenal he will get a decent supply of the ball from his midfielders and his job as a finisher in front of the opponent's goal will be much easier. Maybe the transfer fee is not cheap, making Arsenal have to reconsider bringing him in, but if the Gunners are very determined to get him then they will have to make quite a large investment and Brentford will also benefit greatly from Ivan Toney's transfer.
