⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[klidex]

I agree but it still makes sense to make that comparison when it becomes more likely that Alonso could replace Klopp. I think everyone agrees that the energy Klopp can transfer onto the teams he is coaching is very unique. He is like a volcano and he understands how to channel that energy straight into his team when there is something important on the line. He even does it in less important games. Alonso is more of a calm character, actually a bit the opposite of Klopp. It doesn't have to be bad, but it's a fact for now and when a team is used to someone like Klopp, how will they function as a team once they have a coach who is completely different characteristically.

Every great coach has different characteristics and cannot be equalized regarding their respective strategies and tactics, each coach has his own strengths and weaknesses, Jurgen Kloop is a great coach, everyone admits that, Pep Guardiola is also a great coach overall, both of them are great coaches but with their own style and knowledge, as well as Xabi Alonso at the start of his career who showed his greatness even though it is not easy for a young coach with little experience to be able to bring a mediocre club to the league title is a tough task for the coach because he has to think hard to beat top clubs to win the league title.

It is very natural that Liverpool are used to Jurgen Kloop's coaching style which is perhaps more aggressive and agile because Jurgen Kloop has also coached Liverpool for a long period of time, while the characteristics of Jurgen Kloop and Xabi Alonso are different but Liverpool must immediately move on from Jurgen Kloop because otherwise this will make it difficult for Liverpool's next performance, that's why the coach and players must be able to adapt well and create chemistry so that the club can perform well and can immediately move on from the previous coach.

Im feeling so happy with this news. Finally, chelsea's group owners know about what they must to do. We have seen that how todd boehly as a chairman of chelsea totally failed in running the club since he has made so many intervention to the club. The latest news suggest that if the group don't even have interest to give todd boehly as a chairman.
The groups are interesting to recruit someone who was capable enough in doing this.

Todd Boehly will be removed from his role as Chelsea chairman in 2027 as part of a unique agreement among the club's owners, according to a report.

https://www.90min.com/posts/todd-boehly-to-be-removed-chelsea-chairman
Some journalists report that Chelsea's current chairman, Todd Boehly, will step down soon following his unsatisfied results as chairman. This decision came after the club's owners were also disappointed with his performance as chairman it must be like that, and I completely agree with them given Chelsea's poor performance this season under todd boehly. It's time for the group owners to do audit to the its club.

The Blues have also made numerous mistakes in various activities such as transfers. I'm not surprised that Todd will not be the chairman of Chelsea anymore since he is not capable in doing this. Even though he was part of the group, the main problem remained the same if todd boehley made so many intervention to the his club which is also making the players and coach feel not confidence with it.

Chelsea needs to hire someone who knows how to run a football club properly. It cannot be another Todd Boehly who is disrupting Chelsea's performance. I believe that we will see a new chairman hired by the club as soon as possible.
Chelsea investors have been fully prepared to make the situation even better than before.

Too bad it will happen in 2027, it means Chelsea will not have any improvement and struggle to the next 3 years. Chelsea might relegated to Championship because they got accused for breached FPP regulations, who knows they will get a big amount points deduction.

Todd Boehly need to be sacked as soon as possible without need to wait til 2027.

A new piece of gossip for Guardiola's transfer market who seems to want the 26 year old Bruno Guimaraes player at all costs.

The player's price tag is estimated at around 100 million euros, which is a lot but easily within the reach of the English club.

If they will fail with him they may go for Lucas Paqueta from West Ham.

I don't know why Pep is so interested in Bruno Guimaraes, who is actually not player with skills that can be said to be great, with price of up to 100 million euros, I think that is too high price.
But after all Pep is coach and he knows what is best for Manchester City and who is worthy of being player in the Manchester City squad in building really strong performance, if only Bruno Guimaraes was brought in and there was no big contribution from him then this is clear is detrimental thing.
If look at how both players contributed to the teams they played for, it is actually clear that Lucas Paqueta is much better and maybe Lucas Paqueta will not reach the amount of 100 million euros.
It just that everything comes back to Pep decision as to which players are worthy of being brought in, we Manchester City fans just hope they get the best.

It seems that the rumors about Xabi Alonso joining Livepool or Bayern are fake. Alonso will stay in Leverkuzen for another season.
The favorites for a new Liverpool manager are Roberto De Zerbi and Ruben Amorim from Sporting Lisbon.
I don't know if those rumors are true, but De Zerbi seems like the best candidate for Liverpool. He's been doing great with Brighton and it's time for him to join a bigger club. Arne Slot, who is a coach of Feyenoord is a also a good candidate, but Dutch coaches are having a hard time in the Premier league.

This is the main cause of Barcelona's financial collapse. This story is always repeated, and it is currently happening with Raphinha since he has said that if he is willing to stay in the club even longer. He has said that he was really frustrated but he insist to stay even longer in the club and this is a non sense thing

According to reports, Barcelona winger Raphinha is dissatisfied with his current situation at the club but is determined to stay this summer.

https://www.90min.com/posts/raphinha-frustrated-winger-makes-decision-on-barcelona-future

That news suggests how frustrated he is at Barcelona, but he has stated that he will not leave the club. The more Barcelona tries to keep an unimportant club in the club, the more likely it will be a time bomb because this club will always allow players to leave on free transfers.
I believe Barcelona should change its policy because it will gradually but steadily destroy Barcelona's finances.

When some players refuse to leave the club and prefer to stay until their contracts expire, Barcelona will undoubtedly suffer many disadvantages.
Barcelona must also sell its players when the club does not intend to extend their contracts.

Luis Diaz to Real Madrid is definitely impossible, I can easily say that. Because, Real already has a world class player at left wing, and they are getting Mbappe potentially, which means that Mbappe is a left winger who will play at striker just because Real already has a left winger. Getting a third one, expensive one at that, would not make sense for them at all. I believe that they are going to end up with a result that wouldn't be easy for them to accept and they will just assume that it is not going to be easy.

Let it be and consider doing the best they can do at Liverpool, that's his best chance and he should be happy that he is given that chance, considering he hasn't done anything extraordinary, I believe even Liverpool is a stretch for him these days.

Acmilan seems to be in a peculiar position after bottling so many games. The club's performance is inconsistent in any game but it's slowly back again to the right track. It was also making things more difficult for Pioli. His future in Milan is uncertain due to management's unhappiness with his performance this season after management gave him permission to get the new players what he wanted. Milan has given him permission to spend a lot of money, but the club has not won a trophy this season which is very disappointed result. If I were an Acmilan fan, I would be very upset to see Pioli still in the club as a head coach and i prefer for him to leave from the club. The club needs to find a good coach, and Fiorentina's coach has recently been named as one of the candidates to replace Pioli.
It's such a shame for Milan to have Italiano as their new coach, especially since he's not even better than Pioli. I strongly disagree with Milan's willingness to hire him as a new coach, which is a shame. Can't Milan hire a better coach than him? It would be fantastic if Milan could recruit Jose Mourinho as a new appointment, as he is currently free and eager to start a new job. I would prefer that Milan list Mourinho rather than Italiano as a potential coach.

Milan are preparing for a tough Serie A clash away to Fiorentina, a match that could be the right stage for Vincenzo Italiano to prove himself to the Rossoneri management.One coach who has gone under the radar is Fiorentina’s Italiano; the 46-year-old tactician has reportedly decided to leave Florence when his contract expires in the summer, giving him complete control of his future.

This a bad coach to be listed as a new candidate to handle milan. Pioli must fuck off from milan.

Yes, it seems like it's just a rumor because as far as I know, Alonso has not given a clear statement about whether he will leave Bayer Leverkusen. I also hope that Alonso stays longer at Bayer Leverkusen and provides fierce competition in the Bundesliga and next season Alonso will handle Bayer Leverkusen in the UCL.
Roberto has always been associated with Liverpool and perhaps a coach who previously coached an English team would be more able to adapt to other English teams because if he appointed a coach who was not familiar with the EPL it would be difficult for him to adapt well.

Have you heard of any statement by Xabi Alonso? Because I haven't. However I can agree that there isn't anything certain on his future yet. There are only rumours like Liverpool and Bayern Munich will be after him as both of them are parting ways with their managers by the end of this season. The important point is what he wants to do after being this successful.

If Xabi Alonso doesn't go to Liverpool then De Zerbi can be one of the candidates indeed. At least he has been one of the names rumoured with the job there. Liverpool had better make their choice carefully after having really good years with Klopp.

Could it be that I heard wrong? But it seems like this is an inevitable rumor and Barcelona reportedly wants to bring in its former coach from the 2014/2015 season, namely Luis Enrique. Of course we still remember that Luis Enrique led Barcelona to win the treble that season and this will be a much awaited reunion for the Barcelona squad if that happens. However, it certainly won't be easy to convince the Spanish coach because he is still focused with PSG on developing the existing squad further.

So I don't think Barcelona will be able to convince him to come back quickly, but if Barcelona still hopes he will come then it might take a long time. We know that his responsibility is still huge after being contracted by PSG last season, but his contract will also end in 2025. So, if his contract with PSG has ended, it is possible that Barcelona could offer a contract to bring back Luis Enrique, but that is if PSG does not extend his contract at the end of the season.

Is Luis Enrique the right option to replace Xavi? and if yes, what do you think?

This will be difficult for Luis Enrique because Barcelona is now very different, far worse than when he was still Barcelona coach, so if Luis Enrique returns it will be a threat to his coaching career.

Luis Enrique is currently the PSG coach and he hasn't proven anything with his new team so personally I really doubt that Luis Enrique can lift the performance of the Barcelona team which is currently slumping in a short period of time.

I think this is just a rumor, if Luis Enrique is not successful with PSG this season then he will be encouraged to make the team even better and fulfill management's targets if he is still trusted.
And if Luis Enrique is successful at PSG this season it is also unlikely that PSG management will let him go.

I thought like you and in fact it was not the same as Barcelona's glory when he was still the coach. Everything has changed from several structures to the polemics that exist at this club. I think Luis Enrique is an experienced coach and until his responsibilities are finished he will not leave PSG.

This rumor is quite ridiculous considering Barcelona's uncertain condition, which will put Luis Enrique under pressure if he returns to his former club. PSG certainly really trusts him and because of that he immediately got a 2 year contract and it is possible that the duration will be extended if he succeeds in proving his expertise in building a squad.

To be honest, no coach can handle Barcelona if the coach's request cannot be properly granted by the management, especially as every team is now competing to bring in potential players. I know Barcelona has a good academy but I think that's still not enough to compete in bigger competitions.

Arne Slot, who is a coach of Feyenoord is a also a good candidate, but Dutch coaches are having a hard time in the Premier league.

But this is just speculation again in the end considering that in some rumors and news that are currently spreading that its a little difficult to get Xabi from Leverkusen because it is certain that Leverkusen will retain this coach but that does not mean it becomes impossible to do because it can still be just a little difficult.

As long as there is no really convincing statement from Leverkusen and Xabi IMHO the chance is still there its just that it would be better from now on for Liverpool and Bayern to look for other alternatives so that when Xabi is really unavailable then they already have options to replace the current coach . Xabi is indeed very impressive so it is quite natural that he is trying to be retained even though the previous statement from the president of Leverkusen by giving freedom for decisions that Xabi will do in the future but it seems that they also dont want to just lose their valuable assets at Leverkusen because Xabi is what makes Leverkusen transformed into a very solid club like now.

Lucas Paqueta was offered 100 million plus by Manchester City but English club West Ham did not agree to this big offer of Manchester City. Perhaps West Ham's €120 million plus demand from Manchester City is why Lucas Paqueta's deal was rumored but ultimately not completed. Lucas Paqueta can be a very reliable player in the midfield for Manchester City so Manchester City will definitely keep an eye on this player. Since Manchester City could not complete the contract with this player for 100 million euros, the amount of money may be increased and West Ham will again propose to bring this player to the club.

Actually the transfer deal between Manchester City and Westham related to Paqueta almost happened last summer for 80 million euros, but unfortunately at that time Paqueta was charged with a violation by deliberately getting a yellow card for gambling, at that time actually Manchester City was a only one step away to sign Paqueta but Manchester City did not want to be involved further after the case and shifted their target to another midfielder namely Matheus Nunes from wolves.

At this time de Bruyne's old age and also the frequent injury factor de Brunyne is of course the main reason for Manchester City to try to re-sign Paqueta who did impress with Westham, when mproving the quality of Paqueta game of course Westham will reject the previous offer from Manchester City at this time, especially Westham can now get more money if see the needs of Manchester City who are desperate to get a replacement de bruyne In the future, I think if Manchester City come in with an offer greater than €120m maybe we will see Paqueta at the Etihad Stadium next season.

Arne Slot, who is a coach of Feyenoord is a also a good candidate, but Dutch coaches are having a hard time in the Premier league.

We just have to wait for the continuation of this matter whether Xabi will eventually leave or not because this certainly has an impact on his future career so the decision must be really well thought out whether he will decide to stay at Leverkusen or look for challenges at a new club later.
I actually expect that he will still leave regardless of which club he will go to later I think the decision to leave Leverkusen could be the most profitable option because it is not certain that he has the same performance as this time next season.

As for Liverpool at the moment they must try to find a replacement option because in the end expecting Xabi with the current conditions of course it will not be easy so other coaching options must also remain and actually De Zerbi could be one of the figures who could be used as a replacement because looking at the coaching scheme carried out actually Klopp and De Zerbi have similarities from the way they do the attacking scheme and not too far from the formation carried out so if in the end Xabi is not available then indeed De Zerbi is worth considering.

Bayern Munich want Xabi Alonso as coach. If Bayern Munich can't win the Champions League this season, Thomas Tuchel will definitely be fired by the Bayern Munich team. And now they need a more experienced coach.

Liverpool coach Klopp is leaving Liverpool next season, Barcelona coach Xavi and Barcelona will leave. I think these two clubs will try to get Xabi Alonso as coach. However, we have not seen any credible rumors regarding this yet.

Liverpool are unlikely to include Xabi Alonso on their final shortlist of replacements for Jurgen Klopp.

I see in this news that now the Liverpool management has given up the desire to have Alonso as a coach. But we don't know if it is credible. But I think Alonso will stay with Leverkusen for one more season.

I see in this news that now the Liverpool management has given up the desire to have Alonso as a coach. But we don't know if it is credible. But I think Alonso will stay with Leverkusen for one more season.

I'm almost sure that Alonso will be the coach of Bayern next season, there are many reasons for this. Firstly, Tuchel has already announced that he will leave Bayern in the summer, so Bayern will need a new coach and it will be difficult to find a more suitable one than Alonso. He knows the Bundesliga very well, he knows Bayern very well, in fact, he had previously received an offer from Bayern but rejected it because he believed, that he did not yet have enough work with such a team.

Secondly, if Bayern does not invite Alonso now, he may go to another club with which he will sign a contract for several years, and this will deprive Bayern of chances. They need to act now, and Liverpool most likely understand that it will be difficult for them to compete for Alonso, because it will be more comfortable for Alonso to remain in Germany.

Regarding Xabi Alonso, I don't care whether he goes to Bayern Munich, Liverpool or stays but I am interested in his reasons for staying at Leverkusen and passing up the opportunity to lead a bigger fleet.
Brighton is a business club in the Premier League so there is no problem regarding De Zerbi release as long as both parties can agree. Moreover, for Brighton they could bring in another coach, of course with the aim of reinvesting. Liverpool does have to spend quite a lot of money, but if De Zerbi is given a mandate from a big, reputable club it will be worth it. Once again I hope Liverpool fans don't expect too much, whoever replaces Klopp will definitely not be able to match what Klopp has offered Liverpool.

There is a press conference planned today at 2pm UTC to announce the official decision. Several German media which have close connections to Leverkusen club already reported that Xabi Alonso will stay in Leverkusen for at least one more year. So all rumors about his leave were wrong. Yesterday former Bayern president already said in an interview on Thursday that it will be hard or impossible to get Xabi next season as a coach, what is a clear indication that he already know that Xabi decided for an other option.

Manchester United and Real Madrid are reportedly among clubs that are looking to sign RB Leipzig's Dani Olmo, who could be available for a cut price.

https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-real-madrid-among-clubs-battling-land-rb-leipzig-star-dani-olmo-available-for-bargain-price/blt7c65b2e5bbb0955a

Real Madrid appears to be looking for an alternative right back to join the club  as Liverpool's TAA situation becomes even more complicated liverpool tries also to hijack real madrid's attacker use its right back which is injury now. Madrid does not want to be trapped by Liverpool because Liverpool was willing to exchange TAA for Rodrygo, which is not worth it for Real Madrid given that finding good strikers is more difficult than finding good defenders and liverpool tried to use this opportunity to recruit real madrid's fully develop striker like rodrygo.
Dani olmo has become a very good solution for Real Madrid, given that he is still actively playing for Leipzig and has previously been targeted by Manchester City. I've seen him play as a midfielder, but it would surprise me if he played as a right back this time.

Real Madrid is looking for a new RB because the current one isn't as good as everyone thinks and the club must have made more improvements in order to prepare a perfect and balanced squads to win the upcoming seasons. Madrid is attempting to rebuild its club in order to return to its former glory like what happened a few years ago. It appeared to me that Perez and Ancellotti are truly committed to building a good club by tried to find some additional players to strengthen the defensive line. This is a long term project initiated by perez and ancellotti which is good.
I meant that Madrid is good now, but it isn't balanced. The attacking line performs far better than the defensive line, which creates a gap. It's not even good for the club, given that Real Madrid is attempting to build another great club like Los Galacticos.

Arne Slot, who is a coach of Feyenoord is a also a good candidate, but Dutch coaches are having a hard time in the Premier league.

Leverkusen seems like the smart play for Alonso right now. German media's pretty confident he's staying, and that press conference is a strong hint. Makes me curious about their plan for next season, though

As for Liverpool, I like those De Zerbi rumors. What he's done with Brighton is outstanding; proves he's ready for the spotlight. Amorim's solid, but De Zerbi's the safer bet. I'm less sold on Slot. Dutch coaches in the Premier League; it's a hit or miss. Tough league to adapt to, and Liverpool needs certainty right now. De Zerbi's style kinda mirrors Klopp's, could smooth that transition they desperately need

It's not just about the coach, it's about the fit. Liverpool's in a rebuilding phase. They need someone who gets the club's identity, who can rebuild the confidence and energy. That takes experience, but also a willingness to adapt and learn. I'm looking for someone who understands what made Liverpool so special and is ready to bring that magic back
