⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

When Perez couldn't sign Mbappe because the latter chose money he seemed to make it clear that he was no longer of interest to the club and would not be signed, but when asked about it other times he said Mbappe was not a priority, which means they still want to sign him, moreover their condition is that they get him for free. In the context that he should come for free, I see the option that he will play for Real, because the team will not spend a penny to sign him, although at one time could have spent as much as 150 million.

Seems money is not problem for real madrid to sign Kylian Mbappe because ever give offer 200 million euro last several season before reach done deal to extend his contract with PSG. But difference cases for this time and Perez not interested yet for spending much money to get Mbappe sign due he will be free agent few months later and Madrid optimistic will get him as free agent.
I doubt not any one team want spent much money for signing Mbappe although he is top level players, prefer waiting his current condition with PSG have reach done deal agreement extend contract or not because many teams want to get Mbappe with free agent without have to pay fees transfer for PSG.

It's not that clubs won't want to sign him for big money, it's that he'll be a free agent, which means the competition for Mbappe will only be in the form of the wages he can get at one club or another, and if he doesn't opt for the money he'll most likely end up at Real Madrid, but whether Real will accept him is the question for now

Seems Jose Mourinho will be without club until the end of this season due all top european teams not rumor yet for sacking their manager, its the best time for him retired awhile as manager position before coming back at the next season and wish will return to be manager with one top Premier League team.

The number of sacked coaches is traditionally much higher in the second half of the season, especially at the top clubs if they do not perform well in the championship or in the deciding matches of the international competitions. Mourinho can therefore lean back, he will get good opportunities and offers in the coming weeks and months. I already mentioned in a post here yesterday that he won't be moving to Saudi Arabia. It makes no sporting sense for him to go to a third-tier league with no visibility.

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.

I think expecting De Rossi to be more successful than Mourinho is a bit too much for him. We have to look at the whole process of Mourinho leading Roma, what he has brought to Roma is very remarkable that their previous coaches could not do. Mourinho's personality was not popular with the owners, so it is understandable that he was fired.
And Rossi taking over is only a temporary solution, we just hope Roma is temporarily okay during Rossi's time in power. To qualify for the Europa League, I think it is still within Roma's reach. They are only 4 points behind the 5th team, and this is the most realistic goal for Roma in this tumultuous season.

I always ask how consistent can he go and continue with that performance for Manchester United? He can't, he's ( Harry Maguire ) is not the typical Manchester United type of defender. With football evolving, you can't also settle for less. Victor Lindelof a good pass but poor  when it comes to doing a proper defensive duty. 89 percent of his passes are always spot on but not his defending.
I don't even understand why the Premier League gave Harry Maguire player of the month! Because we had players that month doing better than him. Antony Gordon should have come ahead of him, but I understand why!! They did that to compensate him after everything his gone through.
Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof, and either of Diego Dalot and Aaron Wan Bisakka would be amongst players leaving believe!

To be fair, Maguire has improved a lot this season compared to last season. He acts as Mu's savior many times. In addition to defending, Maguire can also score in set situations. All of his stats are fine, except for psychological problems, but now he has improved quite a lot, he plays with a more stable mentality. I think Mu should keep him. As for Evans, he is too old to play in the Premier League, and when he brought him back, Mu determined that this was only a temporary solution. So the possibility of Evans leaving or retiring soon is quite high.

Yes, Mourinho is still one of the best coaches in the world even though he has often experienced failures that have resulted in his dismissal. Roma was the last club to feel how his cold hands were able to make the Italian team become a respected team in Europe again and he has proven it by winning. Even after being fired by Roma and not having received another offer from any team, I'm sure he won't be unemployed for much longer. Napoli are reportedly starting to be interested in trying out his services, and I think Mourinho will be more interested if he gets an official offer from the Partenopei. Apart from that, Newcastle also has a great opportunity if they want to get his services, because if you look at the Magpies' struggling condition this season, it is very possible that they will sack Eddy Howe. So my prediction is that Mourinho is more likely to return to Serie A than accept an offer to coach the national team, as has been reported in some reports.

Guiding Roma back to the prestige of European football is surely credit to Mourinho. Despite experiencing challenges and dismissals in his career, he has consistently demonstrated his coaching prowess and achieved success with various teams. It's a plausible scenario for Mourinho to manage Napoli. Mourinho has a history of thriving in Serie A, and staying in Italy could be an enticing prospect for him.

The Premier League has also been a familiar territory for him, and taking charge of a club like Newcastle, if available, could be an intriguing challenge. Newcastle's struggling condition and the potential for Eddy Howe to face dismissal opens up another potential opportunity for Mourinho. I think he would love to manage Newcastle because he wont face a budget constraints like he faced at Roma. Mourinho is more likely to return to manage a club than accept an offer to coach a national team aligns with his track record and comfort in managing top European clubs. It will be interesting to see how Mourinho's career unfolds in the coming months and which opportunities he chooses to pursue.

But you also can't deny that Mourinho has been given a lot of time to manage Roma but without satisfactory results. So there's nothing wrong with De Rossi now being given the opportunity to improve what Mourinho couldn't. That should be enough to prove everything, we can't judge whether Roma is a good fit for De Rossi or not because he just getting started. Give it 2 to 3 seasons to prove that. For Mourinho, he should leave and not force himself when the club is bored with Roma monotonous performance. This club needs fresh air with new tactics, we'll see about the final results because it's still too early to judge De Rossi.

According to the news posted by Fabrizio Romano, two Joao would be good choices to make permanent. Barcelona was greatly helped by Felix and Cancelo when several key players were injured, both of whom saved Barcelona. Of course, the hope of these two players is to make it permanent rather than having to return to their original club which of course does not guarantee playing time. Therefore all that remains is to take care of his salary, especially Joao Felix because his market value is quite high so Barcelona only needs to wait for a response from Joao regarding his ability to reduce his salary value if he wants to make him permanent.

Do you think these two players deserve to stay longer at the Barcelona club, but on the other hand, the salary issue must be really clear between both parties and mutually beneficial.

Jose Mourinho is an experienced coach who has good qualities so of course when he doesn't have a team there will be many teams approaching to use his services but I think for the top European teams currently nothing is visible, now only offers from the Saudi Arabian team and There is still a big possibility for Jose to reject it and then wait for the right offer.
I think it won't be long before big rumors about Jose will circulate, he is a quality coach, of course many top teams want him.

In fact, he is no longer the same as before, although it could be because he coaches a club that is not willing to spend a lot of money in the transfer market, so he is not very free to build his dream team to achieve success.
The Saudi pro league might be a suitable place for him for now because even though he is a successful coach, elite clubs in Europe will certainly consider what titles he has achieved in the last few seasons, and they are not very impressive.
However, Jose Mourinho has stated that he will not be in a hurry to accept offers from clubs because he wants to get the best club, so it is very possible that he will not train for quite a long time because he will be more selective in accepting offers from any club.

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.

Appointing people who have experience and success in the jobs we appoint is a positive thing.
This is better than giving bankers and their mates jobs.
And I see a lot of gassed United Fans. Many say the banter era is officially over.
But we have been happy prior, and things have always gotten worse.
Hopefully, Berrada will do as well for United as he did for Man City
Let's wait and see. Time will tell.

It is normal if some clubs want to change the coaches, they expect to improve the performance of the teams. They don't want to keep the coaches who fail to bring positive impacts to the teams. However, it won't be easy for the fired coaches to get new teams. Their reputation is decreasing after they are faired from the clubs. There won't be many clubs interested to hire them because they were experiencing bad season.

Regarding Mourinho, he is a popular coach who have good reputation in he past. It is the reason why there are some clubs still interested to sign him. But I am not sure if he will easily manage top clubs anymore. I assume only average (middle) clubs which have the big intention to hire him. Sure, he still has no intention to move to Saudi League because he still wants to get challenges in the top European leagues. The current rumor said that he probably gets a new club in Italia or moving to EPL.

Instead of focusing to Manchester City's achievements, you need to take a look why Manchester City breached the FFP regulations for 115 times, sooner or later Manchester United will face this issue because it's controlled by the same person.

Since Manchester United have a new CEO, it means we will see a new coach too lol.

It is very feasible and the salary issue for these two players must be resolved first. Both are good players and Barcelona should not be like a poor team that cannot appreciate the performance of its players. I am very annoyed because these two players do not get a decent salary and are instead made to serve on very small salaries. It is very selfish to see the requests of those who want to make them permanent but cannot be accompanied by a decent salary.

I think Barcelona should have the courage to cut the salaries of other important players like Frenkie De Jong and for those who don't know, Frenkie De Jong is the player with the biggest salary at Barcelona, around 725,000 euros per week. Isn't this salary too excessive for just one player and if you look at the impact on the club it's actually not that big and there are still many other players in the squad who have important roles. I think Barcelona should not be like PSG who always prioritizes Mbappe and here Barcelona also realizes that they are not a team with good finances.

There are several rumors stating that Mourinho will not leave Serie A because there will be meeting between the president of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis and Mourinho and of course this will discuss the offer to become Napoli coach and replace Mazzarri.
If this rumor is true and Mourinho really agrees to coach Napoli then an unexpected surprise could occur and this will of course also make everyone amazed at what Napoli can achieve.
They still have Osimhen and if Mourinho can make good use of all the Napoli players then AS Roma will definitely be left behind so there will be regret because Mourinho was given premature dismissal.
He has lot of experience and he is also pretty great coach so it will be possible to create changes to achieve success again like last season.
I was very happy to hear that Mourinho would be able to stay in Serie A and of course this is very surprising rumor.

There are several rumors stating that Mourinho will not leave Serie A because there will be meeting between the president of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis and Mourinho and of course this will discuss the offer to become Napoli coach and replace Mazzarri.

Well, I believe the rumor will comes true because Walter Mazzarri didn't bring anything and Napoli was willing to pay 8 Million Euros for Conte, while Mourinho's salary in Roma is 10 Million Euros. The difference is just 2 Million Euros, Mourinho can use this advantage to revenge what Roma's management did to him.

I think Juventus have made a good deal. He comes from France from OSC Lille. He has played in Italy before at AC Milan. Juventus got him for a transfer fee of 5 million euros for a contract until 2026 and he is worth 15 million euros. He is 23 years old and used to play for Portugal's national team. He is still injured and that can be a problem, but there are 2 years left.

The fact is that Mourinho, who recently turned down a proposal from Al-Shabab, really wants to stay in Italy. I believe that the obstacles to him signing a contract with Napoli are not very big, something like his style of play, different from what has been successful recently at the club, and perhaps the high amounts of money that hiring the Portuguese coach would require. of the club.

But what they are saying is really right! If Mourinho leads Napoli the fans will be "furious" and I think we can expect good results for the club in the next games.

Mouirinho has already gone through some difficulties, but I believe he would manage the team well if he manages to sign this contract with Napoli, and I really hope that happens.

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.

Jose Mourinho has made Roma name big because the coach is known for his success in winnings many titles and his experience definitely makes the club he trains in the spotlight and Jose Mourinho coaching in Roma has given special attention, especially to all Roma fans who are happy with Jose Mourinho coaching even though sometimes Roma doesn't always achieve good results, Jose Mourinho never puts Roma in the worst position in the league because Jose Mourinho always secures tickets to compete in the European league and competes well there even though he currently has to take part in the play-off rounds before reaching the top 16.

The current situation is different and I'm not sure Roma can qualify for the play off round. There are a lot of doubts in my mind because I think the right coach for Roma is Jose Mourinho to overcome the European league competition. But currently Roma has to use the strategy of its new coach and I hope De Rossi can give his best abilities according to the players style which suit him considering that he was previously part of Roma when he was still a player.

I'm sorry but i think you are wrong! With Mourinho or not, AS Roma has become a team that has a good history in Serie A. The current era become a difficult era for AS Roma after Totti resign from football, but for me with current condition, they are still a big team in Italy. Roma has been in declining form in the last few seasons, but that doesn't make them losing their big name at all. Mourinho was recruited to restore the performance of AS Roma, which is one of the tough teams in Serie A. If you think AS Roma is great because of Mourinho, that's clearly wrong. IMO

[Coyster]

The fact is that Mourinho, who recently turned down a proposal from Al-Shabab, really wants to stay in Italy.

I don't think it is just about staying in Italy, Mourinho wants to remain in Europe where he can feel the emotion and feelings of competitive football, he would not matter if it is in Italy, Spain, Germany or France, but he just wants to remain in Europe. The Saudi league is more about the money that is paid, rather than the competitiveness or joy of winning trophies.

Having said that, despite the fact that Mourinho is a highly decorated manager, i do not think too many big clubs would be after his signature right now, maybe his style of play is no longer what the big clubs want and he also has disciplinary issues, he might not be a good 'brand' for the big teams. Then again, the smaller teams cannot afford his wages and Mou might have to take a paycut if he wants to remain in Europe.

Felix has always been a good player, he's a loan player no doubt but he's performed more than he did with his original club. Barcelona has given him the type of tempo he needs to play with. They're a good and committed team and their players are coordinated. The coach himself is young and knows what he needs and builds his team to deliver rightly, It won't be bad to watch Felix stay to do more at Barcelona.

 Atletico didn't favor him as much as Barcelona has. He's now out of his shell and has built more confidence in himself as well. I personally don't think that after being watched to grow by Barcelona, then they'd let him off their camp. And I'm convinced that he also would want an extension with the Spanish side.
What kills a team is favoritism and it's one factor that should be worked on.

 Coaches should not involve favoritism as it may have an impact on the game outcomes and as well cause a whole lot of technical errors to occur and it may affect the players' conditions. They need to be encouraged and made to put in efforts to working in the team. It'll build their ball playing abilities and causes positivity in every game outcomes.
