⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[FanEagle]

Xabi to Real would definitely make sense, but Ancelotti situation prevented that and I fear that it may not happen for a while longer. Liverpool will push for him hard, we are talking about a legendary manager leaving so Xabi may fear failure, after such a great period with Klopp, Liverpool fans are spoiled and expecting either success or a good ranking at least, haven't they had bad years? Of course, they had some bad years along the way as well but usually they got what they wanted, title, cups and all that.

So in the end, Xabi may fear it, but Liverpool will chase him hard and if Liverpool somehow gets him, I think they will not fire him that easily, I do not think that he will do that badly, he may actually do quite fine.

some news in this boring break for the national teams.

Mbappe will not announce anything regarding his future as long as there is a possibility that Real Madrid and PSG could meet during the cup.
Juventus is interested in Mason Greenwood, who is currently on loan. the price should be low as the player only has one year left on his contract with Manchester.

Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid, let's wait till the deal is been finally triggered. There are shocking news in football, we just have keep listening ears on ground because what's coming would seem surprising to our eyes and most of us will find it hard to believe. For me, I'm already open up and will accept the legit news which will be flowing in anytime soon. Besides I can't be easily deceived or following rumors, just patiently wait for the top football journalist, Fabrizio Romano to make posts on his page, that's probably where I get my information and stay updated with football trends.

Yeah, I'm waiting too, man. I want to know the truth about Mbappe and Real Madrid. It happens every year: stories get us excited. We need to learn how to weed out the BS, you know? I only go with guys like Fabrizio Romano because of this. That guy is real; most of the time he's right. With Mbappe, though, things become very different. It's like this story that never ends, right? Will he stay at PSG or move on? He really does look like PSG has a death grip on him, but he keeps dropping hints that he wants something different. We'll just have to wait and keep an eye out for those true sources

Xabi to Real would definitely make sense, but Ancelotti situation prevented that and I fear that it may not happen for a while longer. Liverpool will push for him hard, we are talking about a legendary manager leaving so Xabi may fear failure, after such a great period with Klopp, Liverpool fans are spoiled and expecting either success or a good ranking at least, haven't they had bad years? Of course, they had some bad years along the way as well but usually they got what they wanted, title, cups and all that.

So in the end, Xabi may fear it, but Liverpool will chase him hard and if Liverpool somehow gets him, I think they will not fire him that easily, I do not think that he will do that badly, he may actually do quite fine.

Liverpool included in the lists to win the English Premier League this season. However they got hit by bad news, Klopp leaving, and will remained dormant in performance and development when Jurgen Klopp finally exits at the end of the season. We know how tough and easy at the same it have been for Jurgen Klopp, he's keen on making significant titles to the team's collection before he departs. Perhaps Liverpool board will not fold their hands, they're scouting for good replacement for the outgoing experience coach. The team just need someone that's Jurgen Klopp 2.0 version.

Bayer Leverkusen will become promising and winning the Bundesliga title this season, why? Because they have one of the best coach in European football and he's prominent, having lengthy vision to strengthen his path and team. Bayer Leverkusen will not release Xabi Alonso to Liverpool or any elite club because they need him to be present and watching him executing top priorities for the club. Since taking over Bayer Leverkusen as headcoach, they've been unbeaten this season and they've few games left.

Rumors regarding Xabi going to Real Madrid to replace Ancelotti have been circulating for long time and this has become quite hot topic among football fans, even Ancelotti himself quite agrees that he would be replaced by talented coach like Xabi.
But in reality Real Madrid actually extended Ancelotti contract as coach and after that they targeted to bring in Mbappe and this was pretty good decision so Xabi chances of being brought in would be delayed.
If there is chance then it will be when Ancelotti has finished his contract and of course there are still several season left.
Currently, the closest thing in the Xabi rumors is Liverpool and everything happened when Klopp decided to retire early at the end of the season, Liverpool were linked with interest in Xabi.
It just that this is difficult considering that Xabi himself also has the desire to bring Leverkusen to win major competitions in the next season.

I really doubt that Liverpool will be able to bring in Xabi, even though at first they were quite happy if they could have Xabi as coach because this could improve Liverpool performance and make the Premier League competition even more interesting.

It was like a fairy tale when Joan Laporta said there was an offer from a club trying to offer Lamine Yamal a transfer fee of 200 million euros and he firmly rejected it. I mean, if what he said was true he should have released Lamine Yamal and when else could he produce that much for a player. Apart from that, the offer also seems unreasonable because Lamine Yamal, who is still 16 years old, has a team that costs him 200 million euros and his market value even exceeds that of Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe.

I can't understand why Barcelona has a club president as funny as Joan Laporta and he continues to create sensations amidst the club's decline due to the financial crisis. I think again, if the offer was real, 200 million should be able to fix existing financial problems and on the other hand he could buy better players for long-term investment. Isn't that quite reasonable? but once again this is just a ridiculous statement from the club president and I don't believe it.

This is fuckin bullshit, my friend. Laporta did it again by creating another sensational news to get the public's attention. Laporta obviously losing his sense about how he priced Yamal more than Mbappe and Messi, who have also owned many trophies and have lots of experience. I know that if Laporta tries to introduce his player to the public as a potential one, this sounds like Laporta is the stupid old guy who often spreads fake news.

The Father of fake news. I would rather believe the news from a kid than from him. It's clear that he was lying. That is the stupidest statement from the club owner. There is no doubt that Barcelona suffers never-ending financial problems.

The club hired a clown to be the president of Barcelona. Laporta was a liar. Someone, please send him back to the high school. LOL

Indeed, the president of this club is very fond of sensationalism and seems to have no shame in public. I think some Barcelona fans will also not be happy with this statement and they also know that their favorite club cannot compete to bring in star players for their club. Apart from that, the gimmick is also not playing around when talking about a 16 year old kid who still hasn't got much experience or even trophies but he is already talking about 200 million euros, it's really crazy isn't it?

As a club president he should have the authority to be respected by his colleagues from other clubs or everyone can respect him. But this time he has crossed the line and maybe in the future it will also be like this to increase his prestige. Barcelona used to be a team full of history and now we know they have a club president to entertain everyone including the environment around the club.

[KTChampions]

I personally don't believe any rumors about Mbappe. I won't believe that Mbappe will join Real Madrid until I get the official news. Because in the last few seasons we talked a lot about Mbappe and Madrid. Finally we haven't seen Mbappe in a Madrid jersey. So I will definitely wait to see the news for sure. But we are seeing a lot of news this season regarding Mbappe's transfer. Florentino Perez is likely to be keen on Mbappe this season.



Real Madrid told they ‘don’t need Kylian Mbappe’ as move for PSG forward slammed for being ‘just for the ego of Florentino Perez

American actor Viggo Mortensen has claimed Real Madrid "don't need Kylian Mbappe", with the transfer only serving president Florentino Perez's "ego."

I don't agree with that. Madrid definitely need a talented player like Mbappe. There is no regular scorer in Madrid's squad. Real Madrid have to rely on midfielder Bellingham to score. Mbappe has the ability to score a lot. And Mbappe's addition to the squad would certainly be beneficial for Real Madrid.

The official announcement will be made after Real Madrid and PSG play each other in the Champions League or if this opportunity disappears. It seems to me that all parties have already hinted at this quite transparently.
Yes, Real Madrid definitely needs Mbappe (or Haaland). With the kind of midfield that Real Madrid currently has, a top striker will return La Liga's performance to the level of 40+ goals. It is quite unusual for the top scorer in La Liga to score only 23 goals, even less than the top scorer in Serie A.

Imagine if Laporta want to sell Yamal, they can permanently sign Cancelo and Felix, then the rest of the funds can be used to pay manager's salary. Now they're still struggle, I think they will sell Raphinha or Torres because both of them can't give many contributions and their market value is quite high.

Toney? it must be joking from the author's right? Im not even thinking that if toney is worth to buy especially when brentford valued him 100 millions. What in the hell is this? It will be so damn stupid if arteta will be buying toney from brentford. I would rather get osimhen if arsenal is willing to spend 100m for a striker.

They know Ivan Toney is the only one best player that they currently have, so they're ask ridiculous high fees in order to make other teams not interested to buy out him. Rather than Ivan Toney, it's better to spend 100 Million Euros to buy Vlahovic.

Xabi to Real would definitely make sense, but Ancelotti situation prevented that and I fear that it may not happen for a while longer. Liverpool will push for him hard, we are talking about a legendary manager leaving so Xabi may fear failure, after such a great period with Klopp, Liverpool fans are spoiled and expecting either success or a good ranking at least, haven't they had bad years? Of course, they had some bad years along the way as well but usually they got what they wanted, title, cups and all that.

So in the end, Xabi may fear it, but Liverpool will chase him hard and if Liverpool somehow gets him, I think they will not fire him that easily, I do not think that he will do that badly, he may actually do quite fine.

In the near future, Xabi Alonso will definitely not land at Santiago Bernabeu because the Ancelotti factor is a big obstacle, I agree with that. In the future, this is certainly very possible, Xabi Alonso has now attracted a number of big European clubs thanks to his good performance with Leverkusen. With Liverpool about to part ways with Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool management certainly wants to appoint a quality manager next season, Xabi Alonso fits the profile they are looking for. Xabi Alonso concerns about Jurgen Klopp achievements being difficult to surpass are understandable, but what is certain is that he is not afraid of any challenge.

Speculation regarding Xabi Alonso future is now increasingly widespread, and the Leverkusen manager is also being linked with Bayern Munich. What is clear is that Xabi Alonso will be successful wherever he goes, and he has proven his quality and capacity this season. I predict Liverpool will have difficulty getting Xabi Alonso signature, because Bayern Munich is more determined to get him out of Leverkusen. On the other hand, it will be easier for Bayern Munich to compete for the Bundesliga trophy next season, because if Xabi is successfully recruited, Leverkusen will certainly not be as tough as this season again.

It has the same meaning as when Laporta indirectly stated that any club willing to acquire him from Barcelona would have to pay more than 200 million euros. Laporta never tired of creating new sensations. Did you remember when he said Messi would return to Barcelona?
It was all BS, and I will never trust him again until he can tell me which club made him a 200 million dollar offer. We can get top strikers and winners for that money. Laporta is clearly losing his senses.

As a club president he should have the authority to be respected by his colleagues from other clubs or everyone can respect him. But this time he has crossed the line and maybe in the future it will also be like this to increase his prestige. Barcelona used to be a team full of history and now we know they have a club president to entertain everyone including the environment around the club.

Anyone will be marked by him, for sure. Laporta knows so well how to destroy his reputation. Maybe Laporta wants to sell Yamal for more than 200 million, and this money will be used to pay the debt owned by Barcelona. Watching laporta feels like watching a clown.
It's caused by too many unsubstantial statement came from him.

Toney? it must be joking from the author's right? Im not even thinking that if toney is worth to buy especially when brentford valued him 100 millions. What in the hell is this? It will be so damn stupid if arteta will be buying toney from brentford. I would rather get osimhen if arsenal is willing to spend 100m for a striker.

I have heard that if there have been some names linked to the arsenal. It will be benjamin sesko and gyokeres but it's not yet clear whether arsenal is really targeting these names. Arteta made no comment regarding this and it seems he is still putting all of his focus on to the title race against city and liverpool.

I haven't heard of their interest in Sesko but there are rumours linking them with Gyökeres. However Gyökeres has a release clause like 100 million euros. I don't think Sporting would like to let him go below this price.  

If Brentford want 100 million euros for Ivan Toney then Arsenal will make a choice between them (if we consider these players are prioritizied). Both of them are really capable strikers but Toney's illegal betting scandal wouldn't be forgotten easily. Arteta shouldn't be in a hurry while making a striker transfer and I assume he won't. The squad is already very productive about scoring goals. Making the right striker choice would make their attacking line even more deadly.  

[Jody.Drummer]

Xabi to Real would definitely make sense, but Ancelotti situation prevented that and I fear that it may not happen for a while longer. Liverpool will push for him hard, we are talking about a legendary manager leaving so Xabi may fear failure, after such a great period with Klopp, Liverpool fans are spoiled and expecting either success or a good ranking at least, haven't they had bad years? Of course, they had some bad years along the way as well but usually they got what they wanted, title, cups and all that.

So in the end, Xabi may fear it, but Liverpool will chase him hard and if Liverpool somehow gets him, I think they will not fire him that easily, I do not think that he will do that badly, he may actually do quite fine.

For now I have closed the opportunity to see Xabi join Real Madrid, because Ancelotti has also just officially extended his contract with Real Madrid, so the possibility of us seeing Xabi at Real Madrid for the start of next season is gone, but I don't know if it will end next season or at least in the end of the season if Ancelotti doesn't work well. That is even if Xabi is still at Leverkusen, and as we know there are several big clubs who want to ask Xabi to become their coach.

Liverpool's opportunity to get Xabi is very open, but I also don't know what kind of approach they have taken at the moment, because until now I haven't heard of a serious approach they are taking, or it could be that they are secretly making a personal agreement with Xabi, but that's just my assumption. Because Xabi has not shown any signal about his possible future with Leverkusen, whether he will stay or choose to leave. This decision is in his hands, because from what I know he also has a contract that makes it easier for him to leave Leverkusen.

[bering]

AC Milan is about to make a wise decision and sell an effective and important player for money.
We know earning money from putting the players for sale is the part of the plan for every team and they try to earn some money from the players they don't actually need. But this time it seems AC Milan wants to sell Mike Maignan the goalkeeper of the team.
It seems he got good offers from some teams to make AC Milan earn some money.
AC Milan did the same thing with Sandro Tonali in the last summer and transferred this player to Newcastle.

Mike Maignan is part of Milan squad when they gets the Scudetto on season 2021/2022 and since that year Mike Maignan performance is quite consistent so that's why Pioli is fully trust him to guarded Milan defensive lines although he has a contract until 2026 but Milan was offering contract extension early to this player because basically Milan doesn't want to lost Mike Maignan but the negotiations for new contract have not to reach an agreement because Mike Maignan demanding high salary into his new contract and if until end of this season negotiations deadlocked so Milan began to think about the possibility of selling Maignan this summer

Actually just like i said above Maignan is important player for Milan but if they unable to gets his signs then Milan don't want to lost him with free status just like what happend to Gianluigi Donnarumma few years ago so most likely Milan will putting him into selling lists and it's not difficult for Maignan to gets new clubs because Manchester United, PSG, and Chelsea are showing their interest to Maignan and i am sure those teams are willing to pay with expensive price for transfer fee and apparently Milan has realized this situations so that's why this summer they will look for new goalkeeper and it says Monza goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio into their radar

"You're happy at Real Madrid and then now there is also Mbappé coming...", Sky Sport asked.

Carlo Ancelotti: "Remember that the most important thing is Real Madrid. It’s a huge club. I’m proud of being their coach".

Source: FabrizioRomano

The reporter was digging to find something. But I don't think they are going to find anything.
As much as I hate to admit it, but I think he is leaving Real Madrid after the contract ends.
He has a contract with Real Madrid till 2026.

Well, on second thought, it is still a long way away. Maybe a lot of things might change by the time.
Maybe he will change his decision in the future.
But right now it doesn't seem like he has any plans to stay after his contract expires.

You're obviously missing it. This rumor has been in circulation since last year and im also mentioning this article as my evident https://onefootball.com/es/noticias/major-update-emerges-on-benjamin-sesko-joining-arsenal-38511794

Arsenal has expressed interest in getting him, but Sesko was still willing to play for Leipzig. What's the difference with Toney, then? Brentford was also pricing Toney like Sporting did to the Gyokeres. If I were Arsenal, I would patiently search for a good striker. It's all about how we will manage our budget efficiently.

Arteta has spent so much money to build the current squad, but it seems insufficient for the gunner because the two strikers are performing inconsistently this season. Another option is probably Vlahovic from Juventus, but I don't think that he will be fit for arsenal's gameplay.

Sesko is still possible to get and he has cheaper price compared to the gyokeres and toney. Toney's comeback was not so good. The only possible thing for arsenal to sell nketiah first then used the money raised from selling him to buy toney.

[Silence Scream]

I call this as a bull

If a club offered a youngster 200m, there is no reason to not even take it. Any club would say yes and thats a fact that no other could would deny. Why would a club even reject this offer though, this is going to be a huge transfer record and everyone knows that Barcelona need all the money that they could get their hands on so this is pretty much bullshit for sure

Of course that's bullshit. Who is Lamine Yamal? To be honest, he's certainly not a bad footballer, but I've seen so little of him so far and someone is supposed to pay 200 million for him? That's a 100% lie, because Barca would sell him without thinking twice for 200 million. Even a Messi today wouldn't be worth that much as a newcomer at that age (assuming Messi is an unknown 16-year-old player).

Lamine Yamal is a good football player. Even if he does half of what Messi does, it would be great for him and for Barcelona. But we can't judge him definitively because of a few games of good performances. He has to show us a few seasons of good performances. However, I see Laporte's statements as natural. Every club president always praises his players and says positive things about them. It's a marketing strategy.

Young players such as Yamal, Gavi and Pedri are a great advantage for Barcelona, ​​which has a bad financial situation. If they sell them at the right prices, the club can become economically stronger. In addition, quality football players are constantly emerging from the infrastructure and by selling them, the club can earn additional income. Yamal is a good player, but I think it would be better for Barça if he brings a big transfer to the team.

[Iranus]

Newcastle have been monitoring Feyenoord defender Quilindschy Hartman ahead of the summer transfer window, FootballTransfers can reveal, with the left-back position being a key area that Eddie Howe wishes to strengthen.
Hartman has enjoyed a fruitful season so far with Eredivisie side Feyenoord and the 22-year-old is expected to feature in Ronald Koeman’s plans for the Dutch national team at this summer’s European Championship.

Source: https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/transfer-news/uk-premier-league/2024/03/newcastle-transfer-news-feyenoord-quilindschy-hartman-steve-kay

Well, I think Quilindschy Hartman is a really great young player, he has really good potential. Now you can ask me is he ready for the English Premier League? I don't know and the only way to find out is by him joining the English Premier League. I actually think he is going to be good enough for mid-table teams in the English Premier League. But if we talk about the top clubs in the English Premier League, maybe he is not ready.

My opinion is, the situation that Newcastle United is in right now, I think he is going to be good enough for them and with him, Newcastle United will be able to strengthen the defensive line.

[TelolettOm]

If they sell them at the right prices, the club can become economically stronger. In addition, quality football players are constantly emerging from the infrastructure and by selling them, the club can earn additional income. Yamal is a good player, but I think it would be better for Barça if he brings a big transfer to the team.

Barcelona can plan to sell the players but I'm not really sure about this. The prices of these coins can raise, he must be interested to hold more to get a bigger amount of money. I'm not sure if Barcelona can have a stronger financial status if they succeed to sell Yamal, Gavi and Pedri. Barcelona management gets some money, but it won't be enough money to build again Barcelona.

Yamal is one of the most potential players of Barcelona. He is getting often to score goals now. I think Barcelona management will regret it if they sell Yamal and they only get some money that never fixed the financial problem of Barcelona. IMO, Barcelona management should change their mind to sell the young players.

DEAL DONE: Koke has extended his contract at Atletico Madrid until 2025. 💪

Source: https://x.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1772262328966295687

This guy has been so loyal to Atletico Madrid which is really hard to see nowadays.
At current times every player goes to another club if he finds a good deal.
You know, he has been with Atletico Madrid since he was a little kid. He played in the Atletico Madrid B team when he was in his youth. And after he got promoted to the Atletico Madrid squad, he never looked back. And he stayed at Atletico Madrid no matter what the situation was. I think he is going to retire as a “one-club player"

[uchegod-21]

I am of the opinion that a special thread be dedicated to Xavi Alonso 
As funny as this might sound, it is important to note and acknowledge that Xavi Alonso has actually done extraordinary well this season. If many expected this to happen I am not among those many. I am among the few that thought that the German Bundesliga season will end as usual. But Xavi Alonso took many people by surprise and even up to the European competitions, this guy is still doing great. I am not surprised that many clubs are interested in his services because he has proven himself to be a special and an extraordinary new talent in the coaching industry. In as much as both Liverpool and Bayern Munich and even the Real Madrid had once have him as their players, I would definitely want Xavi Alonso to come to England to compete with Guardiola and as such I will have Etche opportunity to watch him every weekend.

Lol, this is funny, but frankly, if Xabi Alonso deserves a thrown of his own, I think Mbappe should have had one by now for a very long time! If Mbappe had his own thread here, we would probably soon be looking at at least 200 pages of posts...

LOL. At a time I personally renamed the Ligue 1 thread as Mbappe thread. Anytime you visit there, it is either Mbappe this or Mbappe that. Even when there's no more rumour to discuss, a random person will come up with a random rumour about his transfer and a new topic is renewed As we talk, Mbappe already has a jersey and shirt number in Real Madrid  

But yes jokes aside, he is an interesting personality without a doubt, but there should be caution that we don't exaggerate. I mean it is not impossible that he goes to another club and gets fired within the six months. If he goes to Liverpool or Bayern and the teams don't perform, which is a possibility, the big adventure could be over faster than anyone thought it would.

You are totally not out of point. Xavi Alonso only have proved that he can take an average club to become a big club within one season but he has not proved that he can sustain a big club to remain at their position for more than one season. A move to Bayern Munich or Liverpool will prove everything.

[temple]

That's all correct but if you ask me, I think that Rodrygo would be the first to sit on the bench if Real Madrid is able to sign more top strikers. If we assume that Mbappe will go to Real Madrid, it would be Vinicius Junior, Mbappe and still Rodrygo for now. But I think they wouldn't step there and instead try to sign one more player of the category Mbappe/Vinicius Junioar. It is true that Rodrygo took a great development there and he became a very reliable player for the team, scoring goals and working a lot for their offensive game, but I think that most people would agree that there are better strikers than him. I think he would be the first to have a hard time to defend his spot in the first eleven.

Why Rodrygo must be on the bench? It will be a serious mistake to put him on the bench, he is an important player for Real Madrid. I only see 2 wingers that can be put as the main attackers, they are Vinicious and Rodrygo. If Real Madrid succeeds to sign Mbappe, it will be complete with Mbappe as the Center Forward. In the formation of 4-3-3, we will have Vinicius-Mbappe-Rodrygo. I think this will be a great combination of Real Madrid attackers.

Dude, Rodrygo isn't functioned as a striker (center forward). His main position is a right winger. If Mbappe joins Real Madrid, Ancelotti will use the main formation of Real Madrid with 2 wingers and 1 striker in the attacking line. Vinicius will be the left winger, Rodrygo is in the right winger, and Mbappe is in the striker position (CF).

Who said that he must be on the bench? You better read my posts with more precision and if it is not possible, use a translator and translate it into your native language. I never said that Rodrygo must be on the bench. Do me a favor, find that line of mine and quote it here.

I said that in some special case when we were to see Real Madrid sign two players like Mbappe and Haaland, I am quite sure that Mbappe could play an impressive role as a winger. In this case he would play a right winger or they could switch to something like 4-4-2 where Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior would still have their places and interpret their positions more offensively than the midfield would.

It was just some thought experiment and I thought it was clear to everyone. I shared an opinion and I never said that Rodrygo must be on the bench. He has rightfully established himself as part of the core team.
