⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Small rumor about next possible coach of Juvenuts.

Spalletti may overtake Allegri after Euro 2024, leaving the national team.

Massimiliano Allegri was having a successful period at Juventus until the last few weeks, but after back-to-back bad results with Juventus in recent weeks, he suddenly became the target of criticism. However, we should not ignore the fact that Napoli last season and Inter this season are really dominating Serie A. It's not easy to compete with these teams. I don't find Massimiliano Allegri too unsuccessful. Also, when Spaletti left Napoli he said he wanted to spend more time with his family. If he accepts Juventus' offer now, I think he will conflict with himself.

that's one mixed feeling about football once a club isn't playing well the manager becomes the center of attraction or is been used as the scapegoat without looking at the performances of the players. Allegri to mean shouldn't even have returned for the second stint because the club was already having issues beyond the coaching power only. the crisis around the club facing sanctions numerously is already bound to make things hard for them. to me they are even doing well under him but still a change wouldn't be bad.

i don't find spalleti a bad coach but if he is the one to replace Allegri then to me he is a little downgrade but looking at what he did at Napoli it will be a real test for him. also him going back on his words doesn't mean a thing he might be tired already of the whole and would wants to return early that's how football his sometimes

But what is clear is that it will not be easy to convince Xabi Alonso to join him at the end of the season or even next season and seeing his achievements this season, of course he wants to continue with Leverkusen.

It's hard if Bayern really want Xabi towards the end of this season because after all I think surely Xabi doesn't want his momentum to leave and the current conditions are still very favorable to him in the trophy hunt as well as to make Bayern's hegemony stop for this season so expecting Xabi to be in the Bayern squad towards the end of this season will be very difficult and seem imposing but it can still be done if the goal is for next season.

Even if in this case Leverkusen does not really restrain Xabi whether he decides to leave Leverkusen or stay but still there must be a pretty good ambition where the record that Xabi set at least stops if Xabi decides to leave Leverkusen and I think this will trigger some upheaval especially for fans who will consider this a betrayal even though it happens quite often in football but it is a bit of a tarnish on Xabi's career which is famous for its loyalty.

Small rumor about next possible coach of Juvenuts.
Spalletti may overtake Allegri after Euro 2024, leaving the national team.

What do you mean?
Does Spalletti will replace the position of Allegri as Juventus coach for the next season?
Honestly, I still don't read this news in any source.  

In the past, I only heard the rumor that Conte may replace the position of Allegri. But I don't hear the further news about this in recent time. I even heard a rumor that Thiago Motta is the possible next coach for Juventus. I can understand if Juventus management is interested in signing Thiago Motta because he is successful to develop Bologna this season. In the early of the season, I am sure no one believes that Bologna can be in the top 4 of Serie A standings. But it happens now. Bologna will play in UCL if they can survive in the top 4 until the end of the season. Bologna becomes a surprising team in Serie A for this season. The reason behind this success should be the coach (Thiago Motta). So, I really support the idea to hire him as a Juventus coach.

Agree, because the EPL is the most competitive league in the world, so all players really want to join one of the elite clubs in the EPL. All great players admit that the EPL is the most challenging league, but not all players have the desire to play there, and some star players sometimes just admire it. Mbappe could move to the EPL one day, Manchester City is a rich club that is ready to pay his salary. Currently, rumors of Mbappe move to Madrid are reportedly getting stronger, because the season is coming to an end.

Even Manchester City is a rich team, they're not willing to pay as high as PSG paid to Mbappe. Mbappe salary is three times higher than the highest salary player in Manchester City, why they need to bought Mbappe, if they can bought three all star players?

While Real Madrid, Mbappe has an intention to join there because his idol i.e. Ronaldo was playing in there and this would be his chance to gets all trophies.

The problem is with Haaland's presence in the squad which makes the situation impossible for Manchester City to bring Mbappe as long as Haaland is still in the squad unless Haaland eventually leaves then maybe Manchester City will bring Mbappe as an option.
Bringing together Haaland and Mbappe at the same club is the same as expecting Messi and Ronaldo to be at one club which is definitely not possible.
We know that after the current era of Messi and Ronaldo's rivalry Haaland and Mbappe are one of the young players who are strong candidates for that so it will not be possible to unite them at the same club.

More than that I quite agree with the financial problem, indeed until now Manchester City have very unlimited resources and we certainly know about it but I don't think that's enough because after all there is FFP which makes finances carefully regulated and it will be difficult if in the end Manchester City minimises it especially we know for now they are also faced with several allegations related to finances that have not yet been resolved.

This source of mine claims that Manchester United have sent their scouts to watch the 22-year-old Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee.

He seems like a talented striker. He was really decent at Anderlecht but the previous season didn't went very productive for him. He didn't have a very long playing time here then though. Now he is getting more playing time and he is doing a good work as well. 10 goals and 4 goals in 26 games is not bad at all considering he is still young. But Manchester United already have a young striker like Hojlund who is talented too. Do they need another such player for the position now? 

Joshua Zirkzee previously is Bayern Munich player and because he didn't gets more minutes to playing on that team then Bayern Munich try to loan him to several clubs but last summer Bayern Munich has decide to sell him to Bologna and at this team he can adapt quickly with Thiago Motta strategy and performing well and currently Joshua Zirkzee has been change became an Bologna key player with Riccardo Orsolini for Bologna front lines besides that Joshua Zirkzee Bologna currently as Bologna top scorer in Serie A with 10 goals so these records is very impressive and make some of big clubs were showing their interest to him

At least 3 Premier League teams who really serious want him just like Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United but the most serious club who really want to buy him is Tottenham because this summer they will thinking to bid early and besides these teams AC Milan also reported considering to buy him this because Milan feel Joshua Zirkzee will be suitable as the replacement of Giroud who possibly will leave Milan after this season ended but Joshua Zirkzee has unique contract because he has 34 millions release clause into his contract and this option active for Bayern Munich only

Small rumor about next possible coach of Juvenuts.

Spalletti may overtake Allegri after Euro 2024, leaving the national team.

Well it’s a strange rumor because Allegri is doing just fine at Juventus and I do not see any reason why Juventus might want to change him. Allegri has improved the poor Juventus side into a good team atleast and needs more signings and a new contract to make a bigger statement

[logfiles]

Agree, because the EPL is the most competitive league in the world,

What metrics are you using to conclude that it's the "most competitive league" in the word?
Is South America in space for you?

Having a lot of media coverage  and publicity does not mean that the league is the Most competitive in the world.

so all players really want to join one of the elite clubs in the EPL.

Until Real Madrid comes knocking

It seems that the hunt to recruit Xabi Alonso is becoming more fierce because Bayern Munich is moving so quickly to secure the Leverkusen coach. They don't want to be left behind and at the same time want to prove that Liverpool will never be able to get their services. Even though Liverpool had moved first, that didn't make Bayern Munich just give up and wanted to immediately announce him as a replacement for Thomas Tuchel.

As we know, Thomas Tuchel has had a bad season with Bayern Munich so far and even lost all the titles that Bayern Munich should have won. The only thing he can prove is that he can win the Champions League this season with Bayern Munich, but even if Bayern Munich ends up being eliminated, of course the owner will want to replace him sooner rather than having to wait for the season to end. But what is clear is that it will not be easy to convince Xabi Alonso to join him at the end of the season or even next season and seeing his achievements this season, of course he wants to continue with Leverkusen.

bayern munchen's chances of getting xabi alonso to become a coach are greater than any team including Liverpool. when other teams have not approached bayern munchen has done it. and xabi alonso still seems interested in coaching a team in the bundesliga rather than having to leave the german league and coach another team outside the bundesliga team. for sure xabi alonso will leave leverkusen if there is a better offer.

Xabi Alonso contributing to Bayern Munich is a very good step because the entry of an experienced coach like him will provide the potential for victory and maybe next season Bayern Munich will be the winner in the Bundesliga. However, this season Bayern Munich's game is still long and maybe when Xabi If Alonso enters immediately, there will be a chance to take first place in the Bundesliga standings because the difference in points between first and second place is only 10 winning points.

The winning points are consider easy mainly by the elite teams while the average clubs are not formidable and they remained inconsistent as long as they're in the elite competition. Bayern Munich is formidable and regarded as the giant of the Bundesliga this season but this season, they happen to become trophyless because they're ineligible to lift the title. Bayer Leverkusen taking domination and I've watch closely how everything is formed. Xabi Alonso is the prominent coach that have handled and lifted the performance of the team, bringing them from mediocre level to elite standards this season, everything happening so fast for Leverkusen and before the very naked eyes of the supporters.

Bayer Leverkusen will never relent or tackled the big winnings without Xabi Alonso by their side. Moreover, Xabi Alonso is currently a target for most of these elite teams, bringing the heavy losses and also aiming for strong grounds against the tougher clubs. He's the best in Germany and every elite clubs tendering proposals for the coach, but he has to take his time and not rush into the hands of accepting offers he might lived tomorrow to feel remorseful regarding his decision.

Saying that Allegri failed is actually not worth saying because during this season Allegri has succeeded in bringing about changes which previously experienced significant decline last season, only this season they failed to top the standings.
However, at least Allegri succeeded in bringing Juventus to second place in the standings, it is predicted that Allegri will end his coaching at the start of next season, which means that Juventus will change coaches and from now on they will try to target several names.
Spalletti is indeed pretty good coach and has experience that cannot be doubted, but it is not clear whether Spalletti will actually coach Juventus or not because he stated that he wants to rest first and spend more time with his family.
I not really sure Spalletti will accept the offer if Juventus makes an offer to become coach there.
It just that from several rumors there is one name that might be the main option, namely Thiago Motta who is the coach of Bologna, he was successful in bringing Bologna to the top 4 positions.
But it is not certain who will actually become Juventus coach to replace Allegri.

In my opinion, it is possible that Xabi Alonso will choose Bayern Munich if he wants to leave Leverkusen because the potential for achieving higher achievements is only joining Bayern Munich to gain history or new experiences for Xabi because Liverpool may not be too convincing for Xabi to achieve achievements in the league. champion.
The big question that remains is whether Xabi really wants to leave Leverkusen after all the success he has had?
We can also pay attention if later Leverkusen succeeds in winning the Bundesliga title and the UEL title, it is not a big achievement but a big goal is to get the champions league title so in my opinion Xabi will stay one more season with Leverkusen to try to get a bigger title in the champions league .
I would like to guess that Xabi will stay at Leverkusen at the end of the season.

Of course, this is also a possibility. We see that Bayer Leverkusen is playing the best game it should. Xabi, who made this possible, is a really good coach. I think he could be more successful in Bayern Munich. He could be an important name for Bayern in terms of technical career. The squad he has is better and he can take this squad even higher with a few touches. He has one match to play today to win the UEL cup. Their opponents are much weaker than them, but I am sure they will still play cautiously.

Not surprising for Manchester United's scouters want to watch this guy, it because he's Dutch, a same nationally with Ten Hag. I've said many times Ten Hag want to bring Dutch players to Manchester United.

I think they're looking for a substitute player because when Hojlund is absent, they're struggle to find the right player to replace Hojlund position. Both Rashford and Garnacho are great in their own respective positions.

You say that it is actually about Erik ten Hag, not about the will of the team itself, hmm. Yeah you are right I think. It is quite common to see a manager wishing to see skilled players of his own nationality at his team.

However Erik ten Hag doesn't seem like he will be permanent at the team.    I think Jim Ratcliffe shouldn't let this transfer happen if he is thinking about sacking Erik ten Hag seriously. Because this might end as another bad transfer policy for Manchester United. They are already criticized a lot with quite many such transfers. Maybe Zirkzee might not cost too much considering his market value but I don't know how much Bologna would expect.

It is common knowledge that Ten Hag always prioritizes players from the Netherlands. I don't know what to say, but I think Man United needs to make a change from ridiculous purchasing principles like this. Ten Hag must be stopped because if he continues to be left as he is, there will no longer be an ideal combination of players at Man United. Antony, Martines and Onana, Eriksen became Ten Hag as if they wanted all of them to be filled by Ajax players. Honestly, I don't like this way of purchasing a little.

Zirkzee? damn again and again

[rendravolt]

Small rumor about next possible coach of Juvenuts.

Spalletti may overtake Allegri after Euro 2024, leaving the national team.

Really? If that's the case, Napoli will definitely feel hurt, especially for the players who were abandoned by Spalletti earlier this season. After having a good season by winning the Scudetto with Napoli, of course everyone understands Spalletti's decision, even if he wants to take a short break or explore a higher career, in this case becoming coach of the Italian national team. But what we will see very quickly if he finally chooses to manage Juventus.

I feel like this probably wouldn't have happened if he hadn't experienced failure in managing the Italian national team at Euro 2024 and if Italy at least had a good record at Euro 2024, it's possible he would still survive. However, everything can change according to existing conditions and if Juventus gets his services as a replacement for Allegri that would be very good. It's time for Juventus to change coaches considering that Allegri has managed this Turin team for so long but there is nothing to be proud of other than winning the Scudetto. Moreover, this season they failed to compete with Inter for the Scudetto so next season is the right time for change.

[joniboini]

You say that it is actually about Erik ten Hag, not about the will of the team itself, hmm. Yeah you are right I think. It is quite common to see a manager wishing to see skilled players of his own nationality at his team.

What other coaches come into your mind? I've never paid attention to managers other than Klopp or Pep, and they don't have any nationality preference when it comes to picking players. Are you sure it is not because of a language issue? I think Klopp is open about it, he says he prefers someone who can speak English or German so he has an easier team to convey his tactics. There is an outlier like Nunez, but having a translator probably helps in that regard, especially if the translator is your teammate.

I think he could be more successful in Bayern Munich. He could be an important name for Bayern in terms of technical career. The squad he has is better and he can take this squad even higher with a few touches. He has one match to play today to win the UEL cup. Their opponents are much weaker than them, but I am sure they will still play cautiously.

Better against what? Leverkusen? I don't know, judging from how many managers they sacked in the last few years despite their successful careers before they joined Bayern, I'd assume it is not as easy as "having better-skilled players means more trophies". I do agree that Xabi seems to have a better chance of controlling the squad due to his personality, but the odds are not that high if we look at Bayern's records. That being said, there are too many wild rumours related to his transfer, I wouldn't bet on anything unless we're 3 matches away from the end of this season or so.

But Manchester United already have a young striker like Hojlund who is talented too. Do they need another such player for the position now? 

Joshua Zirkzee seems to be the target of Premier League clubs, not just Manchester United, even Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in him, even clubs from the Italian league, AC Milan, are also interested. So it is natural for Manchester United to send someone to always supervise an eye on the striker so they can bring him in next summer. But the question isn't it depends on the agreement from the club and it depends on the offer from which club is more tempting and who agrees on the price first so that in the summer he won't be a bone of contention anymore, because if agreement has been reached and he just needs to decide which club he will choose. So if Manchester United are interested they shouldn't need to supervise but contact the club to make a deal.

Yes, he is indeed a talented striker but in my opinion he is not very productive at the moment but his abilities can still be honed well if he is willing to try to become a more productive striker in the future, so far he has created 10 goals and 3 assists if he continues to develop and continue practice by getting enough playing minutes. I think he will become a great striker in the future, especially if he is in a quite difficult league, this will be a new challenge for him.

Even though Liverpool had moved first, that didn't make Bayern Munich just give up and wanted to immediately announce him as a replacement for Thomas Tuchel.

Usually what is being fought over is the striker or midfielder but not this time because the elite clubs are actually fighting for a coach and it is quite understandable seeing how Bayer Leverkusen is in the hands of Xabi Alonso so that the elite clubs see it as a certainty that there will be many titles to be won if Xabi Alonso is the coach.
But is it possible that he will choose Bayern Munich? because it might make Bayer fans not like him even though they have given the club a title (the season is not finished yet but Bayer becoming Bundesliga champions only needs a few wins to be sure)

As we know, Thomas Tuchel has had a bad season with Bayern Munich so far and even lost all the titles that Bayern Munich should have won. The only thing he can prove is that he can win the Champions League this season with Bayern Munich, but even if Bayern Munich ends up being eliminated, of course the owner will want to replace him sooner rather than having to wait for the season to end. But what is clear is that it will not be easy to convince Xabi Alonso to join him at the end of the season or even next season and seeing his achievements this season, of course he wants to continue with Leverkusen.

Thomas Tuchel will only be with Bayern Munich until the middle of this year and that was a mutual decision after seeing the poor results this season https://fcbayern.com/en/news/2024/02/fc-bayern-and-thomas-tuchel-to-end-their-working-relationship
so it seems that if Bayern succeed in getting Xabi Alonso he will only start his job at the beginning of next season but I agree it is not an easy decision for Xabi to accept offers from Bayern, even from any club, there will be a lot of consideration made to keep his coaching career brilliant.
