⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[lalabotax]

Joan Laporta's recent statements have caused confusion. Xavi was expected to leave Barca but Laporta said he wanted Xavi to stay. To be honest, I also think that Xavi should stay at Barca, but going back on his decision to leave would have a negative impact. They have put themselves in a deadlock. It's really difficult to be manager at Barca for a long time, if they don't win the championship in a season they immediately want a change of manager. The working environment there is really difficult, even if you are a legend of the club.

If Laporta still wants Xavi to stay in Barcelona, it indicated that Xavi who wants to leave Barcelona. Xavi may think he doesn't succeed in Barcelona, but all people can understand it. Barcelona isn't in their best condition, so Laporta realizes the failure of Barcelona isn't caused by Xavi. With the statement from Laporta, I think there will be a contract extension for Xavi in the near future. Laporta may think it won't be easy to get the replacement of Xavi, so he prefers to keep Xavi for a few season more.

Real Madrid to hijack Alonso from Liverpool and Bayern
Both Liverpool and Bayern Munich view their ex-player as the number one option to replace their outgoing coaches, Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel. Honorary Bayern president Uli Hoeneß confirmed earlier this week that the Bavarians are in talks with Alonso, but he also hinted at a potential involvement of Real Madrid in the saga.

[]

I have heard a saying since I was younger. "Good things come to those who wait".
I think that is something Alonso is also thinking about. Because we all know he has not spoken out about his future.
He has also not approached any club. The clubs are all interested in him. But can't find there has been any official advancement to sign him.
So there is a very good chance that he actually stays and when Carlo Ancelotti actually leaves Real Madrid, he replaces him.
Actually, that is not a bad idea. The one thing he will have to make sure though is he still brings in a good performance with Leverkusen.

Alonso would definitely be happy to be in Madrid if he had to go there, but there has been no official statement from Alonso himself as to whether he will really leave Leverkusen for a career at another club, rumors of his move will only remain speculation until it officially happens. He emphasized that for now he will focus on Leverkusen.

Media creating too much hype about few things with most chances we will have all official statements after the end of this season because right now all are doing their best for having good end of their season and things stay at the better level Bayer Leverkusen is trying his best for keeping him for one more season, and we have three big clubs are doing their best for secure his services even most chances he will try to stay but in case of having any good offer he can leave current club and can go for the better offer.
Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Real Madrid all are looking for him but most chances if we have better chance then surely we will be having Liverpool or Bayern Munich because both are going to lose their coach after the end of this season.

To be honest, I also think that Xavi should stay at Barca, but going back on his decision to leave would have a negative impact. They have put themselves in a deadlock. It's really difficult to be manager at Barca for a long time, if they don't win the championship in a season they immediately want a change of manager. The working environment there is really difficult, even if you are a legend of the club.

I think it would be a shame if Barcelona didn't keep Xavi, because overall he also showed something that wasn't bad, although not very good either. But they also have to remember that Xavi didn't get everything he needed with Barcelona, so management must be able to look in that direction. Now if they only demand the title then that doesn't make sense to me, but if they demand to be able to compete then that still makes sense, because it's not easy for a team to be able to compete with their situation not being good.
If Barcelona change their mind and want to keep Xavi that would be good news, especially if they are willing to lower their ego a little in determining the targets they must achieve. I mean it's okay to set a target, but it has to be adjusted to the team's circumstances too, don't let it become something forced that will look unreasonable. In my opinion, instead of setting a target to achieve a degree, it would be better for them to focus on solving the basic problems they are experiencing first.

If you look at Xavi's previous decision, I think it was a decision when Xavi was not really able to improve Barcelona's previous performance when his consistency was not well maintained so he decided to leave and let Barcelona look for a suitable coach who could replace him in order to make Barcelona even better because he did not want his favorite club since becoming a player to be destroyed in his own hands but if you look now he can actually return to correct mistakes in the middle of last season by winning and being consistent in the last few matches they have run.

Actually Xavi decision is still one-sided because seeing some statements from Laporta it looks like he still wants to delay looking for a new coach and expects Xavi to change his previous decision by continuing to stay at Barcelona because seeing from Xavi's previous statement this is likely to be one-sided and Barcelona has not really decided to find a replacement next season because it is still confident in Xavi and still wants Xavi to be in the coaching chair next season.

Ancellotti has just renewed, I don't think Real Madrid will fire Ancelotti after having just renewed him unless the coach himself resigns perhaps after winning this Champions League, if he succeeds.
On the other hand, I don't see how Xabi can remain in Germany in the same team, when the auction for him starts this summer with many coaches looking for a new guide, including Liverpool and Bayern.

This fully depends on whether he is successful or not. Real Madrid has a history of firing coaches who were quite successful in the public eye, but it wasn't enough for Real Madrid. They won't fire him if he now loses against Manchester City in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, but I am sure they would be reacting pretty harshly if he comes second next La Liga season. It definitely depends on the team's performance and whether there is at least one title or not. It's Madrid, it isn't some mediocre club that is willing to keep their coach through hard times.

Ancellotti has just renewed, I don't think Real Madrid will fire Ancelotti after having just renewed him unless the coach himself resigns perhaps after winning this Champions League, if he succeeds.

The problem before was because of the offer to manage Brazil National Team, but since Ancellotti has renewed his contract, I don’t think Real Madrid management will fire him even if they did not succeed in winning the Champions League this season. Ancellotti is a good manager that have good history in the football world, he has managed several teams and has won several trophies in the football world, I will want him to retire at Real Madrid.

On the other hand, I don't see how Xabi can remain in Germany in the same team, when the auction for him starts this summer with many coaches looking for a new guide, including Liverpool and Bayern.

Xabi Alonso is having a great season at Bayer Leverkusen, I don’t think he will leave the team leave the team at the end of the season; and even if he will leave, I think Bayern Munich will want him to replace Tuchel, and Liverpool will also want to sign him to replace Klopp.

From what you said of course the main point is about Xabi Alonso. Yes, however, Ancelotti is a pretty great coach and he has proven all of this with the many trophies he has presented to each team he coaches and a few weeks or months before that he signed a new contract with Real Madrid. And I think Ancelotti is very happy with Real Madrid and it was impossible for him to resign. Apart from that, if Ancelotti succeeds in bringing Real Madrid to become champions in the Champions League, of course it will make him more comfortable to stay until the end of his contract.

Now for Xabi Alonso, he is closely linked with several elite European teams such as Liverpool and Bayern Munich and even Chelsea. Yes, it could happen that if the offer on the table is bigger and he is also very interested in coaching a big team then Xabi Alonso will leave Leverkusen at the end of this season. I would also prefer if Xabi Alonso accepted the offer to become Liverpool coach because we will see a more interesting competition between Xabi Alonso and Pep Guardiola in next season.

Real Madrid have a new plan for the next year and having some stability with an experienced coach will guarantee for them many titles obviously. They count to recruit Kylian Mbappe and there was even talks about Haaland. I don't know how accurate all of this but Real Madrid and Ancelloti know certainly what to do.
For Xabi, I don't think he will stay with Bayer Leverkusen and a potential move to Liverpool seems to be a clever one. Barcelona might try to attract him too in my opinion.

According to some rumours, Arsenal are negotiating Viktor Gyökeres.

The player has a very high value but if they manage to get the OK he can be released with a release clause worth 100 million euros, an amount of money certainly within the reach of many English clubs.

The Swedish players is doing a phenomenal season in Portugal.
Fun facto from Championship to Portugal and probably back to Engliand in 13 months spawn.

Gyökeres was transfered from Coventry FC to Sporting last season with free agent status and his current records is 31 goals from 31 matches in all competitions with Sporting so this is fantastic records and i didn't surprised if some of big teams from premier League has showing their interest to him and Arsenal indeed look for new striker because for many season Arsenal front lines was always be their main weaknesses but i am not sure Gyökeres could be the right player to playing at Arsenal or not because previously Gyökeres only spending his career to playing at small teams

Sporting has been respond this rumour even their manager Ruben Amorim has been says he would not release Gyökeres easily because Gyökeres is important player for Sporting but Amorim will be listen the offers from the club who really want this player but Arsenal is not the only team who really interested to Gyökeres because Chelsea also will putting Gyökeres into their buy lists next summer even reported Chelsea rumoured will make a bid and they will offers not less than 85 millions for Gyökeres but recently Gyökeres has been said he have no plan to moved to England in the near future because Gyökeres said he still want to stayed at Sporting for much longer and focus for this team

Considering the performance of Real Madrid since the start and of the season, it's almost impossible for them to finish the season without winning a major trophy and that's why I think it's almost impossible for Real Madrid current manager Carlo Ancelotti to be relieved of his duty at the club any moment from now. The report that Real Madrid is trying to sign their former player Xabi Alonso who happens to be the current manager of Bayer Leverkusen I think is absolutely false and that's because the current manager of Real Madrid recently extended his contract with the club till the summer of 2027 and you don't expect the club to sack him less than six months after he extended his contract with the club.
Xabi Alonso have significantly improved the performance of Bayer Leverkusen since he became the manager of the club and considering the performance of the club since the start of the current season, they're bound to win the German Bundesliga ahead of Bayern Munich which is why many top European clubs are trying to sign him but I don't think Real Madrid is genuinely among those clubs

[mv1986]

It's all good, no harm done here. And if you ask me I am quite sure that Klopp will return even though he left it up for public speculation. But nobody can really imagine that he would retreat and not return. Rummenigge from Bayern Munich said that football is like a heavy drug and Klopp is a junky, and there is no way that this junky can live the rest of his life without being a football coach. I think there is some truth to that!

No one knows a person's wishes in continuing his life and the decision that Klopp has taken, I think his conscience and whether he returns or not will take several years to come.
Regardless of what people said in the past, everyone has a different view of their life in the future.

No need to become too philosophical about the issue as this is still gambling discussion I suppose!

Klopp has given a very clear statement about his current sentiment and what he thinks about the future. Current situation: one year break no matter what. Situation in a year from now: it depends on what he comes up with or what kind of opportunities cross his way until then.

I don't understand why so many people here are speculating because he gave an interview. I assume that most people commenting on the issue never took the time to watch it.

The latest contract extension of Ancelotti with Real Madrid will last until June, 2026. Is this his contract extension you mean?
Of course, Real Madrid won't fire him. They won't extend his contract if Real Madrid is no longer expecting Ancelotti to manage Real Madrid. At least, we will see Ancelotti at Real Madrid until 2026. Moreover if Real Madrid wins the La Liga trophy or UCL trophy this season, his contract can be extended again. So, there is no way that Xabi Alonso to move to Real Madrid in the near future.

Not sure what Xabi Alonso plans, but it is very possible if he will move to a new team for the next season. He can be the manager of Bayern Munich or Liverpool because these teams are negotiating with Leverkusen. However, Xabi Alonso can decide to stay or move to another team if there is a more interesting offer. Let's see what Xabi Alonso will say after the season is over.

It definitely depends on the team's performance and whether there is at least one title or not. It's Madrid, it isn't some mediocre club that is willing to keep their coach through hard times.

Real Madrid is known for its relentless pursuit of excellence and its willingness to make swift coaching changes when performance falls short of expectations. Real Madrid's culture of ambition and pursuit of excellence means that mediocrity is not tolerated, and there is little patience for prolonged periods of underperformance. The club's history reflects a willingness to make bold decisions, including coaching changes, in pursuit of continued success.

The club and its supporters have exceptionally high expectations for success in both La Liga and UCL. Coaching changes at Real Madrid are often driven by performance metrics rather than public perception alone. A coach may be popular with fans and have achieved some level of success, but it's the team's performance and ability to win titles that determine the coach's fate. The Champions League is a particularly significant competition for Real Madrid, given their history of success in the tournament. But winning La Liga is a standard for Real Madrid, and falling short in the league standings can also prompt reevaluation of the coaching staff. Given the competition with rivals like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, challenging for the league title is crucial for maintaining the club's reputation and success.

Klopp's departure will of course have a big impact on the player's desires, because not all players are ready to start a new chapter with a new coach to rebuild the Liverpool team and sometimes for other reasons the player wants to explore new adventures, I think it is very likely for reasons Klopp's decision to leave at the end of the season.

Alexander Arnold is still 25 years old and his quality is quite good so I think it is very natural that there will be lots of offers from top teams for him, and I doubt that he will be able to play until he retires with Liverpool, as I said earlier there will be a lot of changes in the team Liverpool due to the departure of Klopp and Alexander Arnold will be one of them with a tempting offer as a top team.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's contract expires next season. He might lose his motivation at Liverpool after Klopp leaves the team. However, I think Salah could leave first of all because I'm sure he's getting dizzying offers from the Arabian League. He has the chance to become a Liverpool legend but I think Liverpool will lose level after Klopp leaves the team. I think there is not much difference between staying in a team like this and playing in the Arabian League. After Klopp, many other players may say they want to leave Liverpool at the end of the season.

We are still a few months away from the end of season and there is still enough time for liverpool to extend his contract but yeah there will be no another chance to go to the madrid if TAA will reject it. I must admit that if TAA deserves it to get a good club to continue his career. I must admit that if liverpool is good club but the better if TAA will able to get a new club that will also help him to step up to the next levle on his career. Moving to the real madrid is not something wrong to do. Real madrid only two targets for RB. These players are:

1. Reece james
2. TAA

The first target has cleared it by saying if he was willing to stay much longer in chelsea while TAA's future is still uncertain. It makes madrid gets its confidence to get TAA from liverpool. No signal from liverpool to extend his contract.
The better for TAA to leave from there caused by things will be very different once klopp will not be there.

Klopp has stated to leave from the club at the end of season. This can be a strong signal if TAA probably follows him soon.
Madrid took this as an opportunity to lure a good RB to join in the club.

Everything happening to Barcelona now is as of poor management from these influential men. They ended up using the club as fraud which is ruining the outstanding status of the team. Most players have completely avoided making a move to such club. Barcelona are targeting quite important players this season, they're doing everything to clear their debts and be normal again, atleast they should be the elite team every team will hope for them to be. Barcelona players are in shape but most of the important ones are injured and we know what it means.

[Hirose UK]

Barcelona is very interested in bringing in joshua kimich from bayern muncen. but the targeted player says poor Barcelona will not be able to bring him to Barcelona. all players interested in Barcelona should say what joshua kimmich said.

Joshua Kimich is actually not player whose performance can be said to be stable, but during this season he has been able to make quite good contribution to Bayern Munich and perhaps this is why Barcelona is interested in bringing him in.
Actually, saying that Barcelona will not be able to bring in player like Joshua Kimich is not the right statement because they still have sufficient resources if only used to bring in few players.
Moreover, it is reported that Barcelona also has plans that in the summer transfer market they will sell several players to increase their finances, moreover, it is also reported that Lamine Yamal will be sold at very high price.
From this it can be concluded that Barcelona will not experience financial problems if they want to purchase several players to strengthen the team next season.

Rumours fast circulating the space. Real Madrid will be selected or if not already favorite to win both the La Liga title and the UEFA Champions League. It's never going to be easy run but the best will come out shuttering in victories. Real Madrid headcoach, Carlo Ancelotti is going nowhere, he's here to enjoyed football with his incredible squad and accomplish top objectives for Real Madrid. The president, Florentino Pérez gave been of great aides for the development of Real Madrid, they're just pushing for elite status and winning major titles.

what is certain is that Xabi will stay with Leverkusen to achieve even higher achievements and Ancelotti will stay until his contract expires and on the one hand, as you said, even though Madrid will be able to win the UCL title, it cannot guarantee that Ancelotti will be retained because Real Madrid would prefer to look for a new coach and always update every coach and player they have to maintain the quality of Real Madrid performance.
and for Xabi, I am really not sure that I will move to another team after achieving success this season because as a coach who has achieved good results, he will definitely have the ambition to increase his achievements to a higher level to bring Leverkusen to a prestigious title.
