⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

I know many people are demanding that Xavi can give his best but that is also if Barcelona finances are stable. So don't blame Xavi too much for what he experienced during this season because after all in his first season Xavi has so far been successful in providing trophies despite limited financial conditions and players. In my opinion Xavi decision to leave was better because even if he stayed Barcelona could not improve its finances. Xavi wants full support in buying players to get a decent service. But isn't Barcelona trying to find other income by selling grass, stadium seats and land for cemeteries just to cover the lack of funds? Let's see which coach is willing to handle a club whose financial condition has not yet recovered.

Barcelona suffered from financial instability and this alone have affected the performance of the club, they couldn't sign the favorite players on their Rader due to the sanctions and rules breaken down. Xavi Hernandez is not to be blame for the present condition of Barcelona because the board have messed up the entire system of the club, they have completely lost everything when it comes to competing for the La Liga title this season, they will foot in for the top four race because that's exactly where they belong this season.

Xavi has known all the issues before he signed the contract and that is why I hate it if anyone whines afterwards. Barcelona has no reason to really complain about Xavi all day long because they don't have the financial means at the moment to compete with Real Madrid and other clubs specifically in the Champions League. Xavi has no reason to complain that he doesn't get enough support because I am sure he was aware of the financial trouble for so many years that he knew what he was getting himself into when he signed the contract. It should also be mentioned that Xavi hasn't achieved anything as a coach before he came to Barcelona. He was a nobody and when he now whines at a press conference and says he wants to leave, well I doubt that anyone regrets it.

In the past, there were rumors that he would return to Bayern Munich after the German club experienced a central defender crisis, but now Jerome Boateng has instead joined the Italian club, Salernitana. I am happy to see that Jerome Boateng can play again as a professional footballer because he was not on the field for quite a long time after not receiving an offer from any European club. His status is a free agent and this is a free signing for Salernitana and I think at least he can help Salernitana who are currently experiencing poor performance in Serie A.

His experience will be very useful and even though he is 35 years old, at least he is quite reliable. Maybe this is not a good signing, but considering that Salernitana's finances are not that good, they can only rely on players who are free agents like Jerome Boateng. Congratulations to Jerome Boateng and in his prime he was a very good defender for Bayern Munich and the German national team.

Look, if a club can actually get a young player who is showing potential or an old player who is experienced in top-level competition as a free agent it is never a bad transfer. One way or another most probably both of them are going to be very useful for the team in the long run.

Well, I know when we talk about the experienced player, we probably cannot talk about "the long run" because he is only going to perform well for a limited amount of time. However, for a club which is not doing well and does not have a good financial situation, those experienced players can be very useful as free agents, right?

Marcus Rashford is just 26 years old and has a promising future in his football career so if PSG is interested in him and sign him to their squad

Promising future huh, the moment he choose to move to PSG would be marked as a dumb life decision ever. He is going to peak at that age and he choose to play in a less competitive league like Ligue 1? No offense but yeah he will do well there but honestly if he is going there because of money then he should be going to Saudi League instead though.

He is a decent player, not good enough for EPL but I think he is way better to choose to play in Ligue 1

I think basically Xavi wanted to achieve success with Barcelona, but now the situation has changed in many ways, and there is no one to blame in my opinion. When Xavi feels it is time to leave, then that is a choice that must be respected by everyone, likewise we must respect the decision of club officials if they cannot make things better. I think the financial crisis that hit Barcelona is indeed a factor in the decline at the moment, but it is not felt by Barcelona alone. However, because Barcelona is one of the rulers of La Liga, they receive more attention when they experience a decline in performance.

Xavi has made a decision, and what is clear is that he will finish this season with maximum effort, at least being able to make Barcelona lock in a ticket to the Champions League next season. There will always be ups and downs in performance, what Barcelona is experiencing can also happen to other clubs, and that doesn't mean Barcelona will continue to be in this situation forever.

Benzema is still looking for the exit from Al-Ittihad in January. But the team still wants him to stay. The things are getting more complicated for Benzema as long as he is still there.

There have been rumours related to a Premier League team as well. It must be Arsenal I guess? I must admit I would like to see him there rather than wasting his time in Saudi Arabia while he is unhappy. Maybe he has been making tons of money so far but money doesn't always bring endless happiness as it seems.    He can still be useful if he returns to European football thanks to his quality in my opinion.

Moving to Arsenal would not be possible, ask me why and I'd say that the January Transfer Window must have come to an end already and we'll never see such a task happening as much as iys already closed right now.
That club must be very adamant then, lol! A player has said he wants to leave why not look for the nearest ways to solve the situation for the both sides and parties.
They should respect the player and allow him leave. They will learn the hard way because, you cannot do nothing to hold down a player that wants to leave the club.

Marcus Rashford all grown but he's football ain't at a top level, he better sits up so he could be selected for the upcoming Euro's Competition.

I agree! French first league would be a backsep for him and he won't be able to win the CL with Paris either. The only reason to go there would be money or if no other club is interested. The average attendance in the French first leauge alone is lower than that of the second league in Germany. That alone shows how unimportant it is. And apart from the brilliance of PSG, there's not much else. He should go to a good club in England or Spain. Maybe Italy too. Anything else would be a step backwards.

[Raflesia]

Marcus Rashford is just 26 years old and has a promising future in his football career so if PSG is interested in him and sign him to their squad I believe he would make a difference there because if not for his inconsistency in Manchester united, Rashford is one of the players that have the interest of his team at heart and always try his possible best for his team but regardless of the rumours suggesting that Rashford may move to PSG I don't see the player leaving Manchester united anytime soon because I just feel he's having a bad time now and needs some more time to bounce back to his good old days at Manchester United so hopefully, he's still gonna stay at united.

This could be a bigger desire for PSG if Mbappe leaves especially with the money they have there must be an indication that when Mbappe leaves then Rashford could be used as a replacement option.
But I still believe that Rashford will not be allowed to leave easily if there is a club that wants his services. Even though Rashford's performance this season has decreased slightly compared to the previous few seasons, Rashford's role on the flank of Manchester United is still needed so it must be difficult to bring this player unless there is an unreasonable offer in terms of time and salary.

Until now we still don't know that whether this will happen again this season or not but seeing PSG's desire last season it is not impossible this season they will also try to do the same thing by approaching Rashford and Manchester United.

[QueenVera]

Well, it's not that strange because even though Barcelona is a big club, there are other priorities to think about when it comes to the future of a young player's career because after all, apart from money, there is a condition where young players also need guarantees in this regard.

Barcelona's financial problems are still very complex and will be very difficult to solve so in this case it will definitely be a problem especially for young players if they do not have certain conditions at the club.
In addition, the competition at Tottenham will be a little easier when compared to Barcelona because after all we can know that until now Barcelona is a big club to be in the senior dquad rather than having to let themselves be in limbo in the academy.
He's still young enough that even if Tottenham's club performance isn't the best, the decision to be at Totte ham rather than Barcelona could be the right one.

Barcelona's performance are not even encouraging, they're behind their usual style of play. This definitely isn't the usual Barcelona of past seasons. Their performance hasn't really been encouraging and even though they're a better side technically to other teams, it's just a number of uncertainties that are present. The players and management teams aren't really at their best and it has to be corrected.

 In the round of 16, they are up against a tough opponent, they've got enough weeks to prepare hard and build strong confidence ahead. They really can't afford to take a bow out of the contest at this stage. Although it's unpredictable but they're definitely boasted of to scale through and they have the right player quality too. Just a bit of increase in performance is needed. Although, their games in the coming weeks are definitely awaited.

Becoming a successful Footballer sometimes isn't determined by the league a footballer decides to play for especially when it's one of the top five leagues in Europe. Marcus Rashford at the beginning of last season was very impressive for Manchester United and that's why he was regarded as a player with similar football qualities like Kylian Mbappe but after the injury he sustained last season, he's never been able to be as prolific as he was before that injury.

If for any reason he joins Paris Saint Germaine, I think he can succeed there and even win many trophies that he's unlikely to win if he continue playing for Manchester United.

I think if Rasford is going to PSG he's only going there to experience another league that is very different from the EPL where he actually started his football career. Regardless of things happening in the French ligue1 where the attendance is lower than what we have in EPL and all that but I think the player knows exactly what he is looking for before going to make any deal with the club and being a fantastic player at age 26 he could be the perfect replacement for Mbappe if he leaves may be that's the more reason why he's interested in going to PSG and not for the money.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi knows what to do if he wants Rashford in his team this season. He's young and promising which is fine, moving to Paris Saint-Germain, consider that move none and void because he's one of the keyplayer tor Erik Ten Hag in Old Trafford despite his inconsistency in matches, he played major role in the team's progress. Marcus Rashford have a life outside football but he ensure he dedicate most of his time to football, his grassroots to becoming one of the successful being on planet earth, the Englishman have made quite outstanding results at both club and country level football.

[Stepstowealth]

If for any reason he joins Paris Saint Germaine, I think he can succeed there and even win many trophies that he's unlikely to win if he continue playing for Manchester United.

Very talented players have moved to PSB to help them win trophies but have now been able to do so. These players some of them are players who are even more talented than Rashford is so I don't think that Rushford moving to PSG will increase their chances of winning the Champions League which they desire.
I was just thinking today that Arsenal that was expected by many people to be very active in this transfer window in trying to get a striker and another player to help saka in his wing have not even made any record signing or even tried to bring anyone to the club even if it is on loan. Is there no one to bring? or Arteta still does not see a need for it?

PSG is the wrong choice but I can see how this can happen. I think it doesn't make that much of a difference whether you play for PSG or Manchester United, in both clubs the player won't have a chance to win the Champions League. But at least in the Premier League he would have all the excitement that this league can offer and I am wondering whether he will be earning so much more in Paris than he is in Manchester now.

At that age going from the Premier League to Ligue 1 is a step back in his career no matter how he looks at it. I don't know what his hope is if he does it, but in my opinion it must be the money and can't really be any other considerations.

Apart from that, Rashford has quite good quality, but this season he has had a very difficult time showing the quality he has. But I don't know why he wants to join PSG even though in the Premier League he could make history for his career if he continues to stay with Manchester United. Apart from that, Ligue 1 is certainly not as attractive as the Premier League and the reason is probably because of money and it would make him leave if an offer really came to him.

But I think he will stay with Manchester United until his contract expires, especially since he extended his contract in the previous season, he will definitely consider it carefully if he wants to leave for PSG. Apart from that, the disharmony in his relationship with the coach might make him choose to leave Manchester United. But all of that is just speculation because Erik really needs Rashford, of course Erik will persuade him to stay with Manchester United.

Benzema is still looking for the exit from Al-Ittihad in January. But the team still wants him to stay. The things are getting more complicated for Benzema as long as he is still there.

There have been rumours related to a Premier League team as well. It must be Arsenal I guess? I must admit I would like to see him there rather than wasting his time in Saudi Arabia while he is unhappy. Maybe he has been making tons of money so far but money doesn't always bring endless happiness as it seems.    He can still be useful if he returns to European football thanks to his quality in my opinion.

The latest rumors I read from various newspapers, Arsenal have stated their decision that they are resigning and have spoken to Karim Benzema's representatives. Likewise with Chelsea, who are both reported to have withdrawn from bringing Benzema from Al Ittihad. in fact I just read from Romano, "Arteta"'s report about Arsenal not signing a single player in the January transfer window. he even said, believe me I love my players. so, what do you think, is Arsenal still interested in Benzema?

To be honest, as a Gunners supporter I want Arteta to bring in a player number 9 who is established and can be relied on as a goal scorer. As for rumors of players joining the Saudi club, it still revolves around Ivan Rakitić. Meanwhile, Benzema, I haven't heard the latest rumors related to him. There are too many confusing reports linking this former Real Madrid player with several teams whose validity is not certain. in fact, I tried looking for Benzema news on Romano's page. however, there is no news related to him. so it seems that the polemic that Benzema is facing to return to competing in the European league is facing complicated obstacles so that he can play again, especially with elite clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea and even United, who have been linked with Bemzema.

The speculation about his future at Al Ittihad has been ended because Benzema will be stayed to this team at least until end of this season and actually Benzema himself want to moved from Al Ittihad but this team don't want him to moved because Al Ittihad know although Benzema goal records is not impressive anymore compared when he still playing at Real Madrid but they know Benzema has important contribution for them and so far Benzema and Abderrazak Hamdallah is Al Ittihad top scorer at Saudi Pro League

Benzema has regretting his decision moved to Al Ittihad this proven high salary doesn't make him comfortable to playing at Saudi Pro League and after this season ended i am sure Benzema will moved from Al Ittihad and find new clubs and in my opinion his quality still deserved to playing at European clubs

Moise Kean will sign his contract with Atletico Madrid this afternoon.

The tranfert as you can saw has been canceled when the player was already in Madrid.

[TelolettOm]

Is Xavi leaving because of bad results or is it that he's not enjoying managing at all. The management are putting pressure on him and are unhappy with the performances even when he's winning matches. Which isn't a good sign. I think he even mentioned in an interview that it's going to be an unpleasant experience for anyone who's seeking a job to manage Barcelona and the next manager should be ready for that.

Xavi must enjoy managing Barcelona, he has many challenges in Barcelona. However, there should be a big pressure from Barcelona management and the fans. Xavi is demanded to change current situation of Barcelona team in a short time. Sadly, Xavi can get enough money to buy the new players who can strengthen Barcelona team. With the financial crisis in Barcelona, Xavi is difficult to deal with the pressure and challenges. On the other hand, some bad defeats got by Barcelona recently make the situation worse. To avoid the worse situation continues, Xavi prefers to stop his journey as Barcelona coach. Xavi takes the responsibility of bad results got by Barcelona during this season.

I think Xavi has done the right way. He wants to take responsibility to resign because he failed to improve Barcelona team this season. Xavi and Barcelona management must have discussed about the best way to solve the current situation. Xavi may need another experience with a new team. He just resign from Barcelona, there will be many offers from other teams.

Football is all about being happy and if you don’t find peace in a club then you should consider leaving to a club that will give you peace. Playing with joy and happiness brings out the best in a player and where a player can’t find happiness they hardly find their best form. Benzema is not at his best and it may be due to the team’s performance which means he is not enjoying life there, if he wishes to change club then it is understandable because benzema still has qualities in him and can still play in top clubs in Europe.

The premier league will be a nice place for him to settle since he has never played for any English club before. Sometimes money is not everything though for footballers it is, Benzema needs to leave Saudi and forget about the money to find happiness somewhere else.
