⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[redsun114]

I do really support this decision, considering the fact that Newcastle has potential, but it has been managed by the wrong coach. The club should not put its trust in Eddie howe to manage the club because he is not even capable of building a good club. Eddie Howe never had a good journey in the football.
As a club with unlimited funds and newcaslte, it must be able to recruit a high-quality coach, and I think that's a good solution to pick Xavi from Barcelona. It will make the competition in EPL becomes even tougher than this time.
There will be a more capable coach to handle the EPL team, which is obviously good news. I see potential owned by Newcastle, but it's managed by the wrong coach, which has prevented Newcastle from using all of its potential.

Moving to the newcastle will be the right decision from xavi instead of stay in barcelona much longer.

I agree with your view partially with there is much needed this change because Eddie Howe is fail to keep things at the top level even he is done good job, and he is capable of doing things at his best in Premier League but sadly due to commitments in Champions League hurt his cause, and they fail badly in this season most chances we will have good changes in this club after the end of this season with things could be favourable for the Xavi and José Mourinho because currently these both are in list for the possible replacement of this current coach at the end of this season.

But still nothing is predictable because few days back we are having news Barcelona is trying his best for keeping Xavi for one more season which is surely possible, but all will be clear after the end of this season because currently all parties are busy with their tight schedule and wants to have better end of this season with after giving their 100% which is much needed as we are near the end.

Incoming Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada will have the final say on the future of manager Erik ten Hag, according to a report. United have undergone a structural overhaul beginning with the onboarding of INEOS as new club shareholders, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe purchasing a 28% stake.

https://www.90min.com/posts/sir-jim-ratcliffe-decides-kingmaker-determine-erik-ten-hag-future

My wish is coming true now. It seems like Manchester United will reconsider Ten Hag's future. I saw that Sir Jim is getting upset with him. Sir Jim will acquire a 28% stake, and he will have the right to overhaul the club, too. Glazer has been very passive towards the club.
Sir Jim is coming, and he will try to make it different by signing the new CEO to lead Manchester United. This will also help him decide Ten Hag's future. If we are back again to the historical Ten Hag in Manchester United, Ten Hag never had a good journey with Manchester United.

It was so far winning only EFL cup and it was happening a few years ago. Nothing more than it as MU has an uncertain future under Ten Hag's era. It's time for manchester united to be overhauled.
This is needed to change unnecessary things like ten hag and his management. I trust Sir Jim to make MU have a better form.

Im gonna waiting this. It's very interesting to see how sir Jim will try to change MU's face into a better form.

In your opinion, will Barcelona let Ronald Araujo go or will he keep him?

Barcelona will keep Araujo, there's no reason to sell him.

They only have Araujo, Kounde and Cancelo, the rest are mediocre players. If Barcelona let Araujo to leave, I'm sure Barcelona will not able to achieve anything because they lack of good players.

If Barcelona want to sell their players, they should sell Yamal instead of Araujo.

[bitLeap]

Im not even predicting this to happen. We have been hearing that many times xavi insists that he will leave from Barcelona as a coach, but Laporta tries to convince him to stay in the club much longer, but good news is coming from EPL for Xavi. I was not even speculating this would happen, but the magpies are starting to aim for Xavi as a replacement for Howe.
That's true if Howe is shit, and PIF needs to get rid of him from the club as soon as possible. It's the only way to recruit a good coach to replace him in the squad. The latest report has been coming from newcastle if club has very strong interest top recruit him as a new coach which is good.

The reason Laporta insists on keeping Xavi is because recently Barcelona has shown a fairly stable performance, but Xavi has already been disappointed when he has struggled to improve this team since he first arrived. Support from Barcelona officials has not given Xavi complete freedom in managing the team. Xavi has loved Barcelona for a long time and even dared to coach this team when it was in decline, but there was no respect at all. Xavi must be firm and show his professionalism where if he really feels he is a quality coach then it is better to be firm in his stance on leaving. Financial problems are the meeting point why Xavi and Laporta are not on the same principle. The EPL is on the horizon and this offer would be good for Xavi's reputation as a coach if he manages to improve one of the best League teams in the world.

I think what happened two years ago with Mbappe's move to Real Madrid will not happen again, it has been rumoured many times that there are conditional agreements, already agreed salary and other aspects, as if there is no point in Mbappe looking for another team, because it is obvious that he will not stay in PSG

While they were going to agree again in the past, Mbappe changed his decision at the last minute after PSG's astronomical offer. I think this situation will not happen again because Mbappe is now aiming for success and he must have realized that he cannot achieve this success in PSG. He can realize his dreams by going to Real Madrid and this time I think that is exactly what he is focusing on. I think he will be transferred to Real Madrid.

Love affair between Real Madrid and Mbappé is around here for years with every time at the last moment we are having sudden breakup and things gone again normal between PSG and Mbappé now this time again we are having things like this even now many are predicting all is set just waiting for the end of the season even few media reports are clearly saying his family is looking a new home in Madrid with news like these we can expect end of this all in this season but still we have no official statement from any party because we are having all sights are set for the end of this season for the all parties.

With one thing is sure if we have no development in this season then we can expect reaction from the Real Madrid fans for the future as well which could be surely going to end of this love affair.

It cannot be said that initially there was no respect for Xavi, he came to a team that had a lot of problems, and he was able to win La Liga, this definitely deserves respect. Problems followed when Barcelona was in decline, but there were many reasons, there were many injured players, and Real and Girona, with whom it was difficult to compete, but gradually Xavi was able to level the game.

Perhaps there were some disagreements during this difficult period and we can only guess about it, but now Barcelona need to think about who to replace Xavi, because he is now looking for a new team, and at the moment there are two candidates from the Premier League: Chelsea and Newcastle, this the most recent news that I could find.

The EPL is on the horizon and this offer would be good for Xavi's reputation as a coach if he manages to improve one of the best League teams in the world.

In a situation like that, it would be better for Xavi to leave and continue his managerial career at another club, which has more stable finances than Barcelona. Xavi has helped the club that has made a name for itself for two seasons, he has given his best from his side, the financial crisis limits his space to build the desired squad. I think only a few coaches want to be under big demands, I mean club officials want trophies every season, while they don't support their coaches with an adequate budget. Club president Juan Laporta clearly still wants Xavi, because he knows that Barcelona will have difficulty finding a quality coach next season.

It is very interesting that if Xavi decides to continue his career in the Premier League, he could become one of the successful coaches there. On average, Premier League clubs have stable finances, so Xavi can have more freedom to build the squad he wants. Newcastle is one of the clubs reportedly interested in recruiting Xavi, Newcastle management seems dissatisfied with Eddie Howe's performance. It is possible that several other clubs will also make offers, but so far there has been no official news stating that Xavi will coach a Premier League club.

That should be the case, but Barcelona is a team that is difficult to predict now because the financial problems they have continued to experience in the last few seasons make it not impossible that they will sell Araujo for a fantastic price to fulfill or stabilize the team's finances.

Currently there is quite a lot of speculation about Araujo being sold by Barcelona and personally I think a team like Barcelona would prefer fresh money to make the team better and get out of the crisis they are experiencing rather than keeping a player so that the team continues to struggle with problems.

Did they solve their contract problem already? I remember reading somewhere that De Jong gets a lot of money per week. The number is insane and that probably contributes to their financial struggles. There's no point if they keep approving expensive contracts for new players. Incentives are important but surely not without rules. Imagine a young player getting paid millions of dollars without any clause at all, it will affect how he plays. Looking for free agents is also an option, but again you need to be smart with their contracts so you don't overpay and get into a cycle of being in debt and selling players to pay it.

Jarrad Branthwaite was made his debut with Everton senior team on 2021/2022 when Rafael Benitez train this team but unfortunately he was only played 6 times in Premier League and because Jarrad Branthwaite didn't gets much the opportunities to playing regularly at that time then last season he was loaned to PSV and with this team Jarrad Branthwaite performance is really showing good progress even at PSV he was being an the key player of PSV and help this team to reach to runner up position in Eredivisie and when his loan duration ended Sean Dyche has decide to trust him to playing regularly this season as cente back and during this season Jarrad Branthwaite have already to play 25 times in Premier League

When Everton performance very poor this season but as defensive player Jarrad Branthwaite can performing consistent and currently he was into England national team squad and Jarrad Branthwaite hopes he can make his debut with England when this team facing Belgium later and indeed some of big teams in Premier League have been notice to his performance so that's why Jarrad Branthwaite was into the radar of Manchester United and Manchester City but recently Manchester United probably will withdraw because they feel 60 millions is too expensive but apparently only Manchester City left who still interested to bought him and they do not mind paying the transfer fee according to his price tag

The young dude who’s just 21 years old has had an outstanding season with Everton his childhood club. Despite the battle of relegation at Everton he’s set to make his England debut against Belgium this weekend. This kind of debut is one that’s attracted from an outstanding performance and that feat he’s achieved. Hence, the attractions both from the National team and other English clubs too.

 His outstanding performance has attracted a lot of performance from a lot of top sides in the league and one major being City who have shown maximum interest in the young lad. The League Champions aren’t lacking in that position but they want to maintain the high competition amongst their players and as such they’re ready to join the chase for this lad. The young lad won’t be needing much time to adapt as he’s homegrown and he’s shown technical traits that are similar to that of John Stone.

 The neighbors of the Citizens, United are leading in the race to sign the young lad this suner while Tottenham and Real Madrid have also showed interest in bringing the young lad to their respective clubs. United could have an issue with the price tag as Everton aren’t wanting to sell less than £60m. Though united would want to offload some players but they could also be ready to build up with a player as Branthwaite.

 ⁠Man City could be the only ones that would be able to get the young lad to their club as they’re in a better position financially as compared to Man United and Tottenham. Real Madrid too might probably overlook if they get a player more advanced than the 21 year old. Well i won't be in a rush to conclude yet, cause sometimes the market can be full of suprises, and where you'll expect a player to move might not actually be where he'll end up in.

"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".

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.

Hmm... Literally by next season Real will have a completely renewed team with three players from the world top 5 (and maybe from top 3 haha) Bellingham, Vinnie and Mbappe, the rest of the squad is also top in their positions. Such a team will be able to win literally everything, and over several years, and not just once. It seems to me that no coach, no matter what plans he has, will leave in such a situation simply because the contract expires. If Ancelotti has good results (I think everyone understands what will be a good result for Real hehe) then he will continue to cooperate with the club.

Real Madrid and Bayern are interested in what Alphonso Davies will decide, on the one hand we have Real Madrid who want Alphonso Davies but from what I read Real Madrid are not willing to pay a lot of money for him so they hope they negotiate a price lower so that it is in the interests of Real Madrid, while Bayern wants Alphonso Davies to sign a new contract so that he does not leave Bayern for free, I see that it will take many rounds of negotiations to reach an agreement.

Real Madrid and Bayern are keeping clear positions for Alphonso Davies deal

Bayern want Davies to sign new deal before June or he will be available on the market, not leaving for free.

Contract proposal from Bayern has been already sent to Davies who has to make final decision soon.

Real Madrid want Davies, believing that he wants the move and also personal terms won’t be an issue.

But Real won’t pay €60/70m fee for Davies, out of contract in June 2025 as they want fair price for now.

Negotiations could take place between the two clubs, Davies’ answer to Bayern is the key point to advance.

Now looking at some data about Alphonso Davies:

In the Bundesliga: he played 21 games in which he scored just 1 goal and made 3 assists

In the European Champions League: he played 7 games and did not score any goals or make any assists.

I don't know why real madrid is interested in him, in my opinion real madrid already has a perfect squad and with mbappe's arrival they will be more perfect, so I can't understand why real madrid wants him in the team, real madrid's defense tells me It looks very good and I'm wondering if Real Madrid sign Alphonso Davies as a defender, which of Real Madrid's players will be sitting on the bench? This is something we will know in the future. In any case, in my opinion, Real Madrid should focus on getting another striker besides Mbappe. having mbappe plus another new striker would be a good thing. And one thing I've been wondering about this news:

“I’m not leaving the best club in the world and give racists what they want. 𝐍𝐎 𝐖𝐀𝐘”

It seems that Vinicius Junior's problems are far from over, but the strangest thing is that in Real Madrid there are other players who are not white, in other teams there are other players who are not white and there are many Spanish fans who like them. So in my opinion, Vinicius shouldn't be crying because of this, he should continue to focus on the field because those bad people who keep talking bad about him are doing this to divert him from his focus on the field, they are sabotaging him psychologically, that's not it. It's about racism, and the sabotage that some people are doing against it. but it seems that vinicius still wants to pay attention to this, this problem will hinder his career at real madrid

Yes, I also think that is going to happen. Unless Real Madrid really wants to bring in some other coach. Which I don't think is going to happen. And I believe by that time, the players who are actually interested in coaching Real Madrid right now, and yes I am talking about Xabi Alonso, Will probably find another club except from Real Madrid. I mean literally, there are a lot of clubs that actually need a course like him at this moment. Bayern Munich, Liverpool, and a lot of other clubs will be very interested in bringing him in. I don't think he should wait for a move to Real Madrid. Because if things don't go south, I don't see Carlo Ancelotti leaving Real Madrid.

I can the issue of racism not holding much weight upon the arrival of Mbappe because I believe he is of same skin color as Vini Jnr. Also, if Alphonso was to be signed, that would be a good reason because I don't think any player would like to feel what Vini is experience mostly alone in a top tier club playing in a top league in the world.

The EPL is on the horizon and this offer would be good for Xavi's reputation as a coach if he manages to improve one of the best League teams in the world.

Xavi has announced his resignation in January but strangely after the announcement Barcelona continued to go with positive results in each of their games, and even now they are unbeaten in 10 games and amazingly they managed to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League at the moment, I think Xavi's withdrawal actually keeps the Barcelona squad motivated at the moment.

I think there is no reason for Laporta and the fans to blame Xavi for their failure to win the La Liga title this season, and I think it is very natural for Laporta to ask Xavi to continue coaching Barcelona after all the sacrifices he has made so far, even though Xavi failed to bring Barcelona to the title but we can see how Barcelona can rise by relying only on a modest squad without strong financial support from the management so far,  The latest news Circulating at this time, says that Barcelona are trying to persuade Xavi to stay at Barcelona after several failed attempts to approach the other coach for next season including Enrique who Refused to return to coach Barcelona because he has a contract until 2025 with PSG.
It's quite interesting to see where Xavi will go next season after He decided to quit Barcelona, and I think there will be a lot of clubs lining up to make him coach after all his achievement at Barcelona so far.

Kobbie Mainoo is a Manchester United bound player and would end up being a legendary player for Manchester United just like the likes of Wayne Rooney, Roy Keane, Paul Scholes and Co's.

How would you know that, Kobbie Mainoo is just 18 years old, so how can you predict the long future he has ahead of him. Kobbie Mainoo is a brilliant footballer and Manchester United will definitely want to keep him for as long as possible, but who knows what will happen in the future, he might develop so well and at a time in his career, he could leave the club and go somewhere else.

[ginsan]

I mean they have Joselu there, think of it like that lol. If your alternative to Joselu is Mbappe, you "need" Mbappe. I understand the logic, like they could just buy some other striker that is far better than Joselu (not that difficult) and they would just do fine, do better than right now, so the logic that they do not need someone as good as Mbappe, a bit worse could still do fine is true.

But if you can get the best, getting just a little better is not really the alternative. If they can get Mbappe then they should, but if they can't then that's not the end of the world, they are at quarter finals of UCL and leading the league with Joselu, if they are that good with Joselu, with someone a bit better they can be superb.

In my opinion, Real Madrid will look for a new striker to replace Joselu because from what I have read, Joselu is only being prioritized for this season. So there is a possibility that Ancelotti will look for a quality replacement for Real Madrid front line next season. Mbappe is indeed a target for Real Madrid, but at this time there is no certainty whether Mbappe will agree to join Real Madrid or not. But for the center forward position, I think Ancelotti will really focus on recruiting other players in the summer transfer window.

So speaking of Mbappe, of course he will be the talk of the town in the transfer window because he will be on a free contract and of course quite a lot of elite European teams will sign him. Thus, whatever team manages to get Mbappe's signature, I think they will be quite strong next season because we know that Mbappe's quality as a goal-hungry striker has been demonstrated every season.

Joselu has never been a priority and it has never been communicated as such. He knew from day one that he is going to be a backup or a well needed player for some games as he is not a weak player. He does have good quality, but he isn't good enough to constantly play the Champions League on the highest level. He is also going to turn 34 these days.

But it's fine to sign a player like him to have someone in reserve for all kinds of different situations that can happen during the season. But as soon as they now sign a top striker, I think everyone in the club and Joselu himself knows that the bench would be the only place for him. However, Real Madrid still needs at least one backup player, probably more like two.

It's quite interesting to see where Xavi will go next season after He decided to quit Barcelona, and I think there will be a lot of clubs lining up to make him coach after all his achievement at Barcelona so far.

Hmm, that's true but I think Xavi needs to stay in Barcelona because, if we look at the current status of Barcelona's performance,. It's amazing and promising. Ever since Xavi announced his departure, Barcelona's performance has become absolutely amazing. Every match has been played in a different way. Every match has been played with big margins and goal conceding has also reduced, which means that the main problem which was defense has been improved by working on it. 
 
So if Xavi is successful in the Uefa Champions League, that is, if there is a runner-up, then Xavi will stay in Barcelona for sure. Johan Laporta is also keen to stop Xavi. Xavi failed to win La Liga, but the Uefa Champions League is a strong opportunity for him to stay at Barcelona. And in addition, there can be a possibility because of the way they performed in the previous match, if they continue the good morale, they can win beyond any doubt for UCL, but this is a speculation.

Look Real Madrid starting players carefully, you are going to see that a lot of time they start Bellingham more often than they start Joselu. This is to tell you that Real Madrid doesn't have a starting striker, they are just managing him when Bellingham and Vinicious are no around or have an injury or anything that can stop them from playing. Didn't you see how the team has performed wonderfully without any striker, I don't even think they need one.

Mbape is still dogging every bullet question related to Real Madrid which is professional of him since his PSG contract still bind him but surely, he will go to that club for sure. The only thing that can stop him is if the club says they are no longer interested but we know Perez want to have him that much to the group so they can disturb Laliga next season, they will be unstoppable.
