⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Hvdv]

If he received a good offers from other team, why he need to take a risk to prove himself for two seasons lol. It's either Fernando Carro increase Xabi Alonso's salary and give him privileges or Xabi will move to other team.

There was an interview by DAZN, it looks like Carro doesn't look want to give a special treat to Xabi, so I believe he will join other team.

"We're happy that he's here, but Xabi Alonso is a puzzle piece. It's not like everything will fall apart when he's not here," Carro said in an interview with DAZN.

Oh, of course, if the statement is like that, I will support Xabi to leave at the end of this season to take up an offer from another club. I am quite surprised by this statement because it is clear that Leverkusen would not be this great in the Bundesliga if it were not under Xabi control. Overall it was thanks to the tactics Xabi implemented on the field. It is true that Xabi departure did not completely cause Leverkusen's performance to drop drastically, but at least I am sure that what was achieved this season with Xabi will not guarantee that it can be achieved again next season without Xabi at Leverkusen.

CEO Fernando Carro made a statement for Xabi to stay in the team and said that they wanted to keep him in the team. This success of Bayer Leverkusen is not a coincidence. The strong bond between the players and Xabi and Xabi's interventions in the game when necessary took the team to this level. Bayer Leverkusen can take important steps next year if Xabi decides to stay in the team. It will also be easier for them to keep important names such as Boniface and Grimaldo in the team.

What the Leverkusen management said in my opinion is just an empty hope by saying Alonso has a contract until 2026 with Leverkusen, I think he forgot if there is a unique clause listed on Alonso's contract that Alonso can leave at any time if Madrid, Liverpool and Bayern Munich want to sign him as coach, and now Bayern Munich have held talks with Alonso,  So from which angle does Leverkusen management Fernando Carro be very confident of keeping Alonso next season?

The only thing that can make Alonso refuse to go to Munich next season is his desire to stay at Leverkusen, so if Alonso does not want to stay at Leverkusen next season even though he has a contract until 2026, the Leverkusen side cannot hold him because it has been written on the contract they have handled so far.
But I personally do hope that if Alonso still stays in Leverkusen, because after all Alonso actually still has unfinished work in Leverkusen that brings Leverkusen to compete in the Champions League next season.
Btw, if Alonso move to Bayern Munich next season and leave his unfinished work in Leverkusen, will Alonso still be respected by Leverkusen fans when Alonso and Bayern Munich come to fight them in the league next season?

Bayer Leverkusen are fighting in 1.Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and UEFA Europa League. If Alonso and his players could grab all of them or at least two, I think he might not renew his contract and search for another challenge. If they win Bundesliga title alone then Alonso will try to grab it again and try his luck in UEFA Champions League.
Now winning Bundesliga should not be that hard regarding the achievement done until now, they are required to win 5 out of the 8 remaining games regardless of Bayern Munich results.
In DFB-Pokal, the road to the victory is nicely paved, they are facing east opponents in my opinion in semifinal and the final game.
For UEFA Europa League, it is more challenging. They have good rivals from English Premier League and Serie A mainly. If they could win it they should celebrate it the most

Manchester United management must think and act smartly in the upcoming transfer market, they must close the door for players who have a bad reputation off the field like Greenwood. Besides that, it would be even better for them to release Sancho permanently next season, If necessary, Manchester United management must also release Antony. Don't let it happen that as the season progresses, these players have to step aside again to settle their personal cases in court like what happened to Antony early in the season, yhis will certainly be detrimental to the club and their plans.

It should be like that because after all, even though it has passed in terms of time but still Greenwood has done some actions that are not justified and it will definitely be remembered so the influence he has given Getafe this season I don't think it is a guarantee that his attitude has changed.
Manchester United should be more selective but indeed with what is happening to Greenwood and Antony at the moment I think some possibilities can still occur and it is not too strange later if Greenwood returns to Manchester United uniform.
For Sancho, the problem with Ten Hag will never end so there are only 2 possibilities now if indeed Ten Hag does not leave the Manchester United coaching chair then it is definitely Sancho who will leave next season and this is most likely Sancho who will leave because it seems that the current new Manchester United shareholders still really like Ten Hag's performance which makes Ten Hag free with his current coaching.

I would guess that United just doesn't need the money, that seems like the most crucial part of their deals. I understand that it is not going to be all that complicated for United and Greenwood situation, first of all it is almost clear that they will fire ETH, if they do fire him, then they will need to find a new manager and when the new manager comes in, they will ask him if they consider Greenwood in the squad or not, if he does then they will keep him, however if he doesn't then he will loan him out.

Another subject would be if they keep ETH, which could be a big trouble and a wrong move but lets assume that they do, then ETH already wanted him loaned out and played without him, so he will be loaned out in that case too.

If Ten Hag is still trusted to be the coach next season then it is clear that Greenwood is one of the players who are expected to return to the Manchester United squad, but it is not clear whether Ten Hag will be in defense or replaced for next season.
If I personally judge, it is clear that Ten Hag could not work well according to everyone expectations when he entered the Manchester United team as coach, he disappointed everyone and really couldn't see any good changes.

After all, he is not coach who can show wise decisions that really provide evidence of change, Ten Hag only made various decisions full of ambition but all of them experienced many failures.
I think this is his last season and it is time for Manchester United to have coach who is truly worthy and capable of bringing about change in developing into strong team.

In fact, many people here have said that whatever happens without the Leverkusen president defending him, it is likely that Xabi Alonso will stay at Leverkusen with the aim of winning a more prestigious title with Leverkusen.
Maybe this motivation occurred when Xabi saw the achievements of Pep Guardiola who always stayed at Manchester City and ended up achieving success and this can be done by Xabi when he can get a good start, the positive trend will definitely continue.
Changes in Leverkusen's improved performance can be seen since last season and this is the reason the Leverkusen president retained Xabi.

Vinicius Jr plays as a winger for Real Madrid, on the contrary, if Mbappe joins Real Madrid, he will play as a finisher. We are only saying this but the club knows very well what will be decided on this matter and we may know the official news at the end of certain period.

Yup, Ancelotti has thought about how he places the position of players. Maybe Ancelotti can put Mbappe as a striker and Vinicius as a winger then push Belingham back. It seems that there are many options that can be made by Ancelotti, in addition to Modric's expiring contract can be filled. There is nothing to lose with the arrival of Mbappe, Madrid will have many player options. That could support Madrid's achievements better.

Believe or not, Carlo Ancelotti is very smart tactician and he cans play well some players not on their real position, Rodrygo had impressive well last several season with Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti most of them put him as false nine for central forward although his real position as left or right winger side. I don't think not problem for Carlo Ancelotti if can reach agreement deal with Kylian Mbappe and he will put him as central forward and Vinicius Jr keep at his real position as left winger.
Luka Modric future have been released and Madrid not extend his contract so far, he will be free agent on the next season and his future can't speculated yet because that player not announce yet which one team become his challenge after leaving Real Madrid. Currently, Luka Modric performance not really bad and give him one year contract and he will back up as midfielder position.

When we heard about Tuchel leaving Bayern Munich some people were happy to see these events because Tuchel didn't have good relationships with some players in Bayern Munich and especially with Joshua Kimmich. Joshua Kimmich is not a bad player but he doesn't have a good relationship with Tuchel and since Tuchel is going to stay in Bayern Munich, Joshua Kimmich prefers to leave the team.
It seems nothing is clear about the next season for Tuchel and Bayern Munich so if he stays there, Joshua Kimmich will leave.
Some teams like Arsenal and Liverpool are also linked to this player and they are ready to send offers for Joshua Kimmich.
However, there were some other offers from PSG and Chelsea for this 29-year-old player but he rejected these offers.

Not only has he been linked with several of these teams, but Kimmich has also been linked with Manchester City and Real Madrid. I think if he really doesn't have a harmonious relationship with Tuchel, he should leave, especially since he has been a part of Bayern Munich for many years and it is time to improve his career. Bayern Munich should have no problem leaving Kimmich behind and they can always find a player who can replace his role if he leaves.

I think going to England will be a new challenge for him and at 29 years old he is already a mature and experienced player. Going to Liverpool could be a good thing but I don't know if he would want to go to Anfield if Jurgen Kloop is not there from next season. Going to Manchester City would also be great for him to win another title and under Pep Guardiola it would be a sweet reunion. If he goes to Real Madrid, it looks like he can still be relied on and Ancelotti could place him as a DMF or RB starter. If Kimmich goes to Arsenal I don't think that will happen considering Declan Rice's role is irreplaceable, but as a RB it is still suitable. Everything looks good and it's just a matter of waiting which offer he will accept later.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe says he would rather unearth the next Kylian Mbappe for Manchester United than spend a fortune on the France forward.
Ratcliffe, whose INEOS company has taken control of football operations at Old Trafford, wants to move away from the approach of trying to buy success, as has been the case under the Glazers.

I understand what he is saying. But it is definitely a great optimism to actually think that Mbappe was going to join his team 

At this point any player, young player who is showing any kind of potential should stay as far away as possible from Manchester United. Because if they actually join Manchester United it is most possibly going to be the start of the end. Any player who has recently joined Manchester United with a lot of hope has not been able to deliver at all. Better think about changing the coach instead of trying to bring in more new players. I am actually convinced that Ten Hag has an account in Swiss bank where he keeps a percentage of the money that he spends for bringing in new players 

[Btcdeybodi]

Every season Dortmund continues to lose star players, Sancho, Lewandowski, Haalaand and even now Donyell Malen seems to be soon following his senior to get out of Signal Iduna Park, as a top team of course so far Dortmund has stable finances but somehow they also cannot refuse if there are other teams who want to sign their star players at high prices,  Dortmund are not a team that runs out of star players in their squad and it doesn't even take long for them to re-orbit another star player next season when this season they lose a mainstay player.

Dortmund have been signing young players to their squad and develop those players to a professional standard and sells those players to big teams in other to make more money for the club. No doubt that Dortmund is financially stable but it seems their pattern is just training up players to a quality state and dispose them to other clubs and they have been doing this practice for a very long time now and most of the players that leaves Dortmund to other teams obviously do more better there so it's not new.

Maybe this motivation occurred when Xabi saw the achievements of Pep Guardiola who always stayed at Manchester City and ended up achieving success and this can be done by Xabi when he can get a good start, the positive trend will definitely continue.

Does Leverkusen's owner have the same monetary power as City Group? I speculate one of the reasons why Guardiola stays is because he can buy the players that he wants regardless of the price. While you can compete with Bayern like Dortmund does by buying young players with tons of potential, I'm pretty sure it will be stressful. Just look at Jurgen with Liverpool.

Going to Liverpool could be a good thing but I don't know if he would want to go to Anfield if Jurgen Kloop is not there from next season.

Whether he wants a move to Liverpool or not, I believe some fans Liverpool fans don't think highly of this transfer. I believe some of them think he is too injury-prone, and fear that he end up like Thiago where he only plays regularly for one season and then has a long-term fitness issue. I'd not be surprised if they stick with their youth players instead of buying new players even if they are experienced like Kimmich in the next window tbh.

There is nothing to lose with the arrival of Mbappe, Madrid will have many player options. That could support Madrid's achievements better.

As a coach who has a lot of experience of course already knows what to do and where the right players are to fill Real Madrid's main starting line, with Mbappè 1 Real Madrid's problem regarding productive strikers has been resolved and will certainly strengthen Real Madrid next season in all competitions, I just want to see Real Madrid get a treble winner like what Man City achieved when Haaland joined the team, because Real Madrid have never experienced it and if that happens it will be a good achievement in Mbappè's first year in charge Real Madrid.

I don't think not problem for Carlo Ancelotti if can reach agreement deal with Kylian Mbappe and he will put him as central forward and Vinicius Jr keep at his real position as left winger.

Ancelotti is a master at using players for many different positions. We saw this clearly during Real's difficult period due to too many players being injured, but they still achieved good results. There will be no problem with Vinicius' position if Mbappe comes, Mbappe can still play well as a center forward, a true number 10. And he can swap positions with Vinicius when needed. I believe Ancelotti can use these two players well without sacrificing anyone's position.

Luka Modric future have been released and Madrid not extend his contract so far, he will be free agent on the next season and his future can't speculated yet because that player not announce yet which one team become his challenge after leaving Real Madrid. Currently, Luka Modric performance not really bad and give him one year contract and he will back up as midfielder position.

If Mbappe comes, Modric will almost certainly leave, his number 10 has been targeted for Mbappe. Modric's departure is only a matter of time. However, With Real's current unsecured force, Modric is still very useful, and his contribution is still very much for Real.

Changing or Sacking Erik Ten Hag from the job would be unwise. And take at good look at his number 1 option to manage a top club like Manchester United, Gareth Fucking Southgate? As head coach of Manchester United? During his playing days he wasn't even a great player not exceptional during his playing days. He's just having the best players called up to the national team and does nothing but boring and wack football.

I'm just a pal fond of Manchester United nothing more but Jim Radcliffe should go look at history and learn. So this is the so called plans for Manchester United? Maybe Manchester United will be definitely relagated next season.

Why should Kylian Mbappe come back to Manchester United anyways? He wants to win trophies and the Ballon d'or, no amount of money given to him would make him swing to Manchester United.

I have never doubted Borussia Dortmund's ability to develop young players who will become high-value players later, we have seen them produce many young players who are now even mainstay players in their respective teams. They are very effective in seeing the abilities of young players, and in their hands the player can be transformed into a promising player.
But the problem is that they never utilize their skills in that regard. They prefer to seek more benefits than titles. Because I'm sure if they focus more on utilizing their abilities to make them win a title it will be very possible, but unfortunately their main priority is profit.

Franck Robery maybe returning to FC Bayern Munich. He is currently still a technical coach at US Salernitana and he wants to continue his education...as coach. If you believe the media, Ribery wants to return to Germany and Munich. It is not known what position he can or should take on there, but he will motivation many players. But there would still be one missing, one of his friends at the time in 2013 when they won 3 titels, it would be Luca Toni. Maybe we will read a news in the coming week and Ribery has arrived in Germany. So not as a player, he is too old for that.

Currently, Luka Modric performance not really bad and give him one year contract and he will back up as midfielder position.

Meanwhile according to what I have seen so far, Carlo Ancelotti is a pragmatic coach, doesn't change his strategy too much and focuses more on traditional tactical schemes. Carlo Ancelotti will be more effective if his squad is filled with star players as they have been in the past, the results are very clear. Meanwhile, in the current era, Carlo Ancelotti needs to adapt considering that several of his opposing clubs have developed modern, attractive systems and tactics and also prioritize equality of player abilities in each line. Therefore, when they faced Manchester City, Ancelotti's troops experienced difficulties. Furthermore, regarding Mbappe, I will not speculate too much until he actually occupies his position later. Carlo Ancelotti will also sacrifice one position if he wants Mbappe to be comfortable in the sector he is good at, and here Vinicius will certainly change position.

One more thing, Erik Ten Hag will add a statement by saying: don't worry Sir Jim Ratcliffe, I will buy all the players from Ajax. haha". Like the image behind Sir Jim and that is Ten Hag target, he wants to fill the Man United squad with all the players he previously trained and does not rule out the possibility of Man United future striker coming from Ajax. It is no longer strange if the Red Devils playing philosophy has disappeared, especially in There are a lot of doubts in Ten Hag's hands. BTW, where is Man United this season? The EPL is no longer able to secure Champions League tickets and its fans are back to watching the Friday Night League.

The former French striker has just completed his FIFA coaching license and might want to follow in the footsteps of former Bayern Munich players such as Martín Demicheles, Sando Wagner, and Miroslav Klose who have been integrated into the managerial structure of the club. Franck Ribery was a world-class striker who won almost everything as a player and might be a successful coach.

Bayern Munich has a tradition of bringing former players back to the club to take managerial positions but it will be an error to put him in charge of the senior team. The club might consider putting him in charge of the youth team next season. Although there is no certainty that a great player will become a successful coach it will be nice to see the pattern of football Franck's team will adopt. He was a very aggressive attacker during his active days maybe we might see him build an aggressive attacking side.

Mbappe can play in the various positions and it will be so stupid if we are thinking if he will be a useless players in the squad. Ancellotti can also mix and match all of them into the various strategies, and mbappe can also fit any strategy used by Ancellotti. Im still wondering what's wrong with people who said that if mbappe will be useless when he join in real madrid.
Ancellotti and Perez have a very big ambition to build the next Galacticos, and this needs a lot of preparation. One of the main preparations is to buy MBP from other clubs. It means that mbappe will be able to help the club a lot in order to get the golden time of Real Madrid again when there were still many great players in the squad.
Hopefully, Ancellotti's plan to re-create Lost Galacticos will come true. It's very disappointing to see that many people keep talking about Vini's potential to leave the club while the fact that he can still play as a winger is all not true.

Mbappe can still play as a striker, and Madrid doesn't need to sacrifice Vini for him to play in El Real. There will be a lot of rotations with Real Madrid soon. I'm waiting for the new formation that Ancellotti will form after Mbappe joins the squad. It's only a matter of time until Mbappe will be joining in real Madrid soon. PSG has been trying so hard to find Mbappe's replacement, and this is gonna be real once PSG confirms that they have already gotten Mbappe's replacement. PSG is ready to make it happen. I can't even wait to see mbappe play together with vini and some real madrid players
