⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[red4slash]

Leicester sold some of their best players after winning the premier league back then and it was more for money and the thoughts of, retraining others to replace those sold and rebuilding from there, hence why they never stand a chance till date.
The best move has always been to buy top performance players from same league or from one that plays similar style of football, not to buy from a different league and hope the player catches on fast and delivers on the pitch.

For wenger then, he believes in training players and nurturing them until they are great and then sells them. His ideology was more of a  manager and business man as compared to the ideals of Mikel Arteta who is more of a coach than a manager. He understands that what it means to buy young, hungry and talented players like he did when he got Rice, and Martinelli and well it was a good coaching decision which has helped his career excel so far.

When looking at Leicester's actual condition since they won until they were relegated they were always fine because they always had the status of a dark horse club in the EPL but their problem was the financial condition which was very disturbing especially when Covid attacked and the peak last season when Brendan Rodgers could not do what he planned when he wanted to sell some players he did not need in future plans and could not buy new players to support his plans which made Leicester run out of steam and actually plunged into the relegation zone in just one season.
In the end, in this case we see something where finances are important so that every club that is really serious about maintaining their condition and performance must realize that finances are necessary to support their future stability.

Arsenal's fate is still swinging yet as their possibility of winning either the league title or the Champions league isn't certain yet but I can assure you that these boys are eager for a title this season that was why they flopped and at a time they picked form again so it wouldn't be a surprise if they take home a trophy this season.

Their eagerness to win a title may not still be enough. From the position the club is currently, they can either win the two titles in the competitions they are in, which are the premier league and the Champions league, or win the premier league that they are topping, or loose both competitions and end up winning nothing again this season. Arsenal has really gone too long without any major trophy to celebrate; they need to try to win one soon to correct the opinion of other people of them as the club that always disappoints.

He left Real because he stopped feeling confident because of management, so he's unlikely to come back, only if management are serious about it and can get him reassured.

Remember that even the first time, he did a similar thing, so his return can never be ruled out. After all, Real Madrid is sometimes open to the return of some of their legendary coaches. Let's not forget that it is also Carlo Ancelotti's second spell at the Bernabéu.

I don't know if that's possible now, but why should Anceloti leave? I think the management will do their best to keep him as head coach

At one point he will leave though, probably not in the next couple of seasons, but how knows how the future unfolds.

[nurilham]

There's always confidence for Carlo Ancelotti, he believes in his army and he knows, bringing to Santiago Bernabéu the UCL title and also in for the La Liga title, really a good run for the team this season. Carlo Ancelotti is going nowhere because he has more work to actually trigger for Real Madrid this season. We know how rough this season have been for them but they took the bull by the horn. Real Madrid are already leading on the table and will become more competitive when they have eyes on the title.

Carlo Ancelotti always did a great job. It is not impossible to bring UCL trophy for this season. Ancelotti still has the chance although it seems a bit difficult because they are facing Man City in the current round of UCL. What to have the big chance is to win La Liga trophy, Real Madrid seems to have no competitor anymore. Barcelona isn't likely to overtake Real Madrid in the top of the table. Barcelona has a bad season, they failed to dominate La Liga again.

However, Ancelotti seems to have 2-3 years contract duration only. After the next 2-3 years, we may see Ancelotti leaving Real Madrid. We already heard that Zidane or Xabi Alonso will be the successor of Ancelotti in Real Madrid.

Arsenal are reportedly ready to buy players for next season. Ivan Toney and Morgan Gibbs-White were targeted by Arsenal. If you look at Arsenal, many transfer players from the EPL. This means they buy players who already have experience in the EPL. They don't want to risk the adaptation of failed players. These two players also have not bad statistics, they deserve to join Arsenal. I think Arteta didn't choose this player wrong either.

Arsenal have been signing quality players lately so there is possibility that they could sign the both players. One thing that improves a team is signing tactical players rather than maintaining the old ones and now that Arsenal is looking forward to a premier league trophy after many years of dead luck it would be good if Mikel Arteta starts looking for quality players to add to the squad in other to improve more in their performance next season

Arteta is a good manager in every way. He is both a coach and a recruiter for his team.  Arteta was spotted last week at the Real Madrid U18 - Atletico Madrid U18 match. I think he is looking for more players for Arsenal in this match. I can see how eager he is. If Arteta is there for Arsenal, he could be laying the groundwork for a squad that will be talked about for many years to come. I don't think there is anyone better than Arteta for Arsenal at the moment. If Arsenal become premier league champions after 20 years, Arteta will be on a different level.

I think that for Xabi, Liverpool and Bayern remain priorities, with all due respect, but maybe it’s too early for him to coach Real. Real is the top rung, Xabi showed himself super cool with Bayer, but now he needs to show himself great not with an underdog, but with a top club like Bayern/Liverpool in order to finally enter the club of elite coaches.
By the way, most likely Zidane, having seen what kind of lineup Real has assembled, will try to return   It’s obvious to the naked eye that with such a team you can try to repeat Zidane’s achievement and win the Champions League three times in a row.

Liverpool and Bayern Munich are the two teams he has been linked to the most because of his past achievements as a player in those clubs. And seeing how in need of a new coach they are, he could consider them and join any of them after leaving Bayern Leverkusen.

Real Madrid have a great squad line up now and any coach that gets to manage this squad well will win more big m records to their names and their achievements will be much in a short time. The repetition of the Champions Legaue Trophy three times in a row can be replicated by Real Madrid again with this kind of squad they’ve put together.

This your confidence on Real Madrid and Ancelotti is too much, you are taking it too fast because you are already saying that they will win the Champions League this season. Remember that they will be playing against Manchester City in the quarterfinal, if they are able to eliminate Manchester City, then you can have a loud voice to say all these because the chances is still 50/50 since Manchester City is the defending Champions and they eliminated Madrid last season; we can’t conclude yet even though we know the experience Madrid had when it comes to Champions League football.

The transfer case of Mudryk to Chelsea has thought Arsenal a good lesson.
Instead of buying a player from another League and wait for him to adapt to the Premier League style of play for months, you should rather buy a Premier League player that already have experience; Trossard and Declan Rice has been a very good signing for Arteta that is why he is making emphasis on Ivan Toney and some Premier League strikers to add more pressure power in the attacking zone.

Good trends coming, that's my belief when it involves football. Real Madrid and Liverpool needs replacement for their coaches because they're running out of contract. Bayer Leverkusen appoints Xabi Alonso because they're aiming for solid changes, they have been the ultimate target for most of these elite teams and they're proposing relevant bids to Bayer Leverkusen but the club doesn't not accept and have totally declined all of them. It's getting clearer, Bayer Leverkusen are nothing without Xabi Alonso who's taking the club to higher phase.

The repetition of the Champions Legaue Trophy three times in a row can be replicated by Real Madrid again with this kind of squad they’ve put together.

I Definitely disagree with your view that a very good squad doesn’t need a good coach and just any manager can manage them and get success from them. We have seen many great teams of individual brilliance and without a tactically sound coach they end up winning nothing. I can remember the country Belgium falling into this category when there so called generational talents couldn’t winning anything. At club side we can use the same Real Madrid as a case study they had a galatico squad with many of the worlds greats around 2007-2010 and rare win anything and not until they hire Jose Mourinho after then, they started scooping some trophies and also came Carlo Ancelloti who did the same.

After their departure the coin already had the BBC frontline which would have won everything under just any coach but under Rafa Benitez they struggle not until Zidane came and won the treble in the champions league from the same team that Benitez struggled with. So there certainly a need for a technical coach even more so for star studded teams like the currently Madrid

Carlos Ancelotti is going to leave this spot at the end of the 2026 as management recently give him extension due to his superior performance in all competitions after him most chances we will have Xabi Alonso as his possible replacement because he is also doing good job at the Bayer Leverkusen which is going to help him for having this spot in near future about Zidane now he is set for the upcoming France national coach which is he waiting for the years or few rumors are suggesting he can overtake at the Bayern Munich as well but nothing is clear.
At the end of this season we are going to have too many spots available for the coaches so it's surely going to be interesting what is coming for the few big clubs in future with things are going to be challenging for all those are going to take big clubs in UEFA for the upcoming season.

Speculation about Xabi future will continue to be discussed even though he also has the potential to stay longer at Leverkusen. Bayern and Liverpool are the right clubs to be the next destinations if Xabi decides to leave, the offers of these two clubs are difficult for any coach to refuse. However, we have to wait for Xabi to complete his duties with Leverkusen, where they are very close to the championship trophy this season.

Staying at Leverkusen is also the right decision, the challenge is also quite big, where Xabi will be motivated to make an impressive record next season again. If they join Bayern, of course they can easily dominate the Bundesliga again. Meanwhile, if Xabi joins Liverpool, I think Xabi will find it difficult to bring the Reds to success in his first season.

Regarding Zidane, I think the opportunity to coach Madrid is still quite big, but in the near future that will never happen. Ancelotti is still showing a very satisfying performance, especially next season with the addition of new ammunition, Los Blancos will certainly be able to win any trophies more easily. Previously, Xabi was also linked with Madrid, but Ancelotti decided to renew his contract.

Maybe it won't prove everything because you can always have a bad season. Klopp had a relatively bad season with his club as well. That's why I think that a serious, substantial judgment about Alonso can only be made in maybe five years from now. But for now he is of course doing extraordinarily well and the manner in which he dominates the Bundesliga definitely eliminates the idea that he just got lucky this season. A coach can get lucky for 3 games, 5 games or maybe 10 games, but this execution of impressive football so consistently is certainly a first proof that he can't be a bad coach. Time will tell whether he is the same league as Klopp and Guardiola.

Assessing the impact and capabilities of a coach requires a broader perspective that encompasses several seasons and various circumstances. Xabi Alonso has undeniably made a strong start in his coaching career, it still needs more time to demonstrate his abilities over the long term. Leverkusen having impressive performance in dominating the Bundesliga speaks volumes about his managerial skills. Consistently delivering high-quality football over an extended period suggests more than just luck, it indicates a deeper understanding of the game and effective leadership.

Comparing Alonso to Klopp and Guardiola is a natural inclination given their reputations and track records. However, Alonso needs his own journey and trajectory. Time will indeed be the ultimate judge of his capability and whether he can reach the same echelon as Klopp and Guardiola. In the meantime, He earns credits for the current achievements. Time will reveal the true extent of Alonso's capabilities and place him within the league of elite coaches.

We are still far away from that moment and xabi may be leaving soon from leverkseun to join in a better club. Everything is still remain unclear as we are still in the season, right? We will be seeing that everything will be clear once we are gonna face at the end of season. Nothing clear about xabi alonso as he never ever confirm anything to the any rumors linked to him.
Im feeling that if xabi alonso will be trying speak on the public when the summer transfer season will be opening.

I don't think there is anyone better than Arteta for Arsenal at the moment. If Arsenal become premier league champions after 20 years, Arteta will be on a different level.

No doubt Arteta is a good manager, he already made Arsenal be a strong team again. In the last 2 seasons, Arsenal always joined the race for the title. Even in the current season, Arsenal is leading the EPL standings, they are a great team under Arteta management. If he watched the match Real Madrid U18 vs Atletico Madrid U18, he is very likely interested in certain young players of both teams. I guess Arteta may have a plan to sign youngsters of Atletico Madrid.

Yes, Arteta has the chance to give a trophy for Arsenal. But the competition is very tight, Liverpool and Man City won't let Arteta to win the trophy. However, if Arteta can beat Guardiola in the next match, I think Arteta will have the chance to win the EPL trophy for this season.

Yeah obviously, I preciously agree with you that sometimes good coaches don't get the chance to win something Big like UEFA Champions league and this is the reason that makes coaches prominent. There have been many coaches who have a super strong squad but fail to run the club and sometimes it happens that the squad is weak but the coach makes the club great through his competence, whose examples are in front of us. Atlatico Madrid This is the club that has not had such a good squad for all time, but Diego Semino made a great club through his competence. 
 
So it's meant to say that Real Madrid's squad is good, but sometimes a good squad cannot be managed by a good manager.

Mane diaz, Luis diaz's father has been showing his dream to see his son to play in real madrid. The latest news has suggested it.

The Colombia international, who has a contract with the Reds until 2027, has been linked with a move away from the club in recent times, with Paris Saint-Germain reportedly eyeing him as a potential replacement for the outgoing Kylian Mbappe.

Even though this guy has a contract till 2027 in Liverpool, but Diaz will likely be interested to join in the real Madrid if he gets a chance to play there. Mane Diaz has been dreaming of seeing his son wear a real madrid shirt. This is good considering the fact that if mane diaz is still performing perfectly in liverpool.
I hope someday he will be able to play in La Liga as. a part of real Madrid's attackers. Real Madrid doesn't need him now because the club has many great wingers. I hope that someday real madrid will be able to sign him to follow what falcao and james did by playing in real madrid in the past.
Mane diaz has a very big ambition for his son to play in el real caused by it will be a very big achievement considering the fact that if it's not a lot of players have chance to play in the real madrid

Regarding Zidane, I think the opportunity to coach Madrid is still quite big, but in the near future that will never happen. Ancelotti is still showing a very satisfying performance, especially next season with the addition of new ammunition, Los Blancos will certainly be able to win any trophies more easily. Previously, Xabi was also linked with Madrid, but Ancelotti decided to renew his contract.

Real Madrid should keep using the service of Ancelotti, he is doing well for them and there's no reason to sack him. Ancelotti has the experience that Real Madrid needs to win trophy. Real Madrid doesn't need a young coach because they have too many young players as they're trying to rebuild the team therefore they need an experience coach that can guide the team and he'll also be repeated because young players are always disrespectful but Ancelotti commands respect due to his many achievements. Zidane should stop trying to coach Real Madrid's, he should go and look for other big challenge in other leagues or he goes to Saudi Arabia and develop the football that they're trying to build. Zidane don't have the experience that this current Real Madrid teams will need to develop into the beast that they are meant to be.

Wait a minute, Diaz's father want his son to play in Real Madrid, but actually PSG wants to sign him to replace Mbappe? the conclusion is he high likely will play in PSG instead of Real Madrid because Real Madrid already have their best players which they won't going to replace.

Come on Diaz let's play in PSG, you will get Ligue 1 trophy and eligible to play in Champions League, even though you have no way to become a champion lol.

[klidex]

Exactly, going to Real Madrid is simply the best place and a wise decision for him to make and to try to achieve some trophies he hasn't been opportuned to achieve for a while now, while still at PSG , especially the champions league trophy which he has had tough times achieving here at PSG, and not only that ,Real Madrid pattern will actually suits his style of play, so we wouldn't have a situation like that of Eden Hazards deal between Chelsea and Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is the best club in Europe and going to Real Madrid is the dream of every player who has good potential to develop their career to become a superstar player and that is in Mbappe I am sure he will become the best French player and he is an asset for his country and also a good asset for the club that has him, Real Madrid will make a lot of profit when they have Mbappe because Real Madrid got him for free from PSG while PSG suffered losses because they didn't make a profit when investing in the player but at least PSG got a profit thanks to Mbappe's hard work in the PSG club and won the league title in the years since Mbappe was in the squad.

At Real Madrid, Mbappe will not only get a brilliant future but also have the opportunity to get the title he dreams of, such as the Champions League title and he can also experience the La Liga title and experience playing in a different league, this will be a new challenge for Mbappe to be in the league new but I think Mbappe will develop quickly because Real Madrid has a solid squad and doesn't just rely on one player but fights and works well together creating good chemistry so they achieve success.

PSG has a bigger opportunity as the next place for Luis Diaz and I think he can get a bigger salary if he can perform productively at PSG like Mbappe before deciding to go to Real Madrid.
but this is just speculation because it is impossible for Real Madrid to replace one of the players who are currently in the perfect line up so Ancelotti will not take that risk.
compared to PSG which is currently continuing to struggle to find talented players to replace Mbappe role in the team and also needs several reliable players to win the UCL title in the coming season so that is a reasonable reason if Luiz Diaz is more convincing if he goes to PSG.
even though Luis Diaz father wants his son to join Real Madrid, I think in recent seasons there has been no chance for Diaz to go to Real Madrid.
