⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[eightdots]

]Actually in this case I still don't understand why Martial still wants to stay at Manchester United because after all,

Manchester United have no future plans with the Frenchman, he will be likely dropped from the system. Anthony Martial can afford to end up like Jesse Lingard who was in his prime at Manchester United, got loaned to Westham where he deliver excellent performance but at the end of the day, he was late dropped because he declined in performance based on longterm injuries. That's the exact case happening to Anthony Martial, he's unavailable for matches and the times he tried, he failed woefully to prove himself.

Martial needs to give himself a chance in another team and show his game to everyone again. Martial could not play the football he wanted due to injuries. The important thing here is that you continue to improve yourself without giving up. This must be what Martial should do.

When he plays better in another team, he can become a football player that big teams want again. I have not liked Manchester United's squad structure for a long time. Many players in the team may leave the team during the transfer season.

An unknown Premier League club have made a verbal enquiry for Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface, according to Sky in Germany
The 23-year-old has impressed in his first season at Leverkusen having scored 16 goals in just 23 appearances in all competitions
Sky in Germany claim Leverkusen want to keep the Nigerian but would be willing to talk to clubs if offers of more than £47.2m (€55m) are made this summer

Sky_Live: https://www.skysports.com/football/live-blog/11095/12476234/transfer-centre-live-bayer-leverkusen-striker-victor-boniface-attracting-premier-league-interest

I don't know if this news is actually true or not. But in general, I can expect a lot of clubs to actually be interested in him. Because he has shown good performance with Leverkusen. And his team has also done really well in this season. So I think we can expect a lot of clubs to actually pursue him. And I also believe if Leverkusen can win the Bundesliga title, which is very much possible by the way, his market value is also going to increase.

Coming from an unpopular club from Belgium (Union SG) but instead Boniface turned into a quite dangerous striker with Leverkusen, I think with Boniface's brilliant performances at the moment with Leverkusen and Nigeria of course there will be big clubs trying to sign him next season, at the moment Boniface is injured so I think he has a lot of time to talk about his future with other teams.  I think for a player of course to be at a big club, a big salary and also to play in the Premier League is a dream that is hard to resist.

It is reported that Chelsea are currently trying to recruit Boniface next season, because indeed their need for a striker to be able to compete in the Premier League next season, I think if Chelsea or other teams meet the price requested by Leverkusen of course the process of moving Boniface will not be difficult, with Leverkusen's ability currently at the top of the Bundesliga standings of course it will be an attraction for big teams to buy their players and if Leverkusen Agreed to sell him, then if that happens of course Leverkusen situation will be no different from Leicester City in the Premier League who are slowly crumbling after the departure of players who were able to make Leicester City champions at the time.

Martial just doesn't belong with Manchester United. He can really play better at another team if he makes his choice wisely. I'm not saying like he was never good here. His performance in the 2019/2020 season was really impressive with so many goals in the Premier League (17 goals). However he can't be as productive as in the past anymore.

Manchester United can find a better alternative than him. For example Zirkzee has been one of the rumoured names. He is quite young as well and he might be a good option. But I'm curious about how much Bologna would demand for him.

Why Manchester United need to change their striker again? Hojlund already filled this position, the problem arise if he's injured, Manchester United don't have any good player that can replace him. Zirkzee might join Manchester United sooner or later, as long as Ten Hag is still the manager because this manager always want to sign Netherlands players.

Probably Bologna will demand at least 50 Million Euros to Manchester United, but I think it could be 60-70 Million Euros considering he's still young.

Manchester have outstanding players this season. Rasmus Højlund is regarded as one of the best frontline for the team, he is a new striker for Manchester United, moving from Atalanta to join the Red Devils in previous transfer window. Those the Denmark international is currently battling with longterm crucial injuries, he needs more time to exerts actions on his position as top frontline. Erik Ten Hag knows how to handle his squad and he already spot out his important players, these are leading Red Devils that will win all hurdles on their path.

]Actually in this case I still don't understand why Martial still wants to stay at Manchester United because after all,

Very simple case, martial is looking towards staying at Manchester United because no club side in Europe can afford him. He cannot get a good wage in any club side in Europe with his poor injury record, history and availability.

It is true that Antony Martial has a big salary and no club in Europe wants to sign him due to injuries, lack of performance, and high amount of salary/wages. So in my opinion, he needs to go to Saudi Arabia where they would give him a lot of wages. Recently, I heard some news that Some of Saudi Arabian clubs want to sign Antony Martial. So it would be good for him to go to Saudi Arabia.

The question is, will Manchester United let go of martial for free or hold on dearly ??

Yeah, definitely Manchester United will let him go at the end of his contract because he didn't make any contribution  towards the club due to his lack of playing, and the club has been paying him a big wage. But anyway, it will be good for him to leave the Manchester united and go to MLS or Saudi Arabia where they would give him a much higher salary.

Currently, nothing is clear because now as things are going into Manchester United we can expect big overhaul in coming weeks with their situation is worse than last season and new management which is having no faith in Ten Hag can do changes which will be surely going to have big impact on them even I have feeling we will have no improvement in Manchester Untied and Chelsea with both are currently worst teams in Premier League.
Martial was the good player, but his recent performance is not as he was few years back which is big setback so better option is allowed him for leave this club as free agent is also good as they can use other players or can also bring suitable replacement as well which will increase their quality and performance in coming season.

 He's proven to be worthy to handle well any team presented to him and definitely I believe he can do well if another team is put in his care. Maybe his strategies work well for him and can still work well with another team. The feat Alonso has been able to attain for Leverkusen have definitely put him in the light of great coaches. He's been watched and observed and in all his games, he's proven to present an outstanding and formidable team. He's just new in the business but yet still has set up a formidable team.

Maybe you say that because in his first season with Leverkusen he was able to become a good coach and build positive motivation in his players, making Leverkusen appear more confident in facing whatever obstacles were in front of his eyes, including having to face elite Bundesliga clubs, so It is natural that Leverkusen is now called the strongest club in the Bundesliga because it was able to surpass Bayern Munich and break this dominance.

And it's all thanks to Leverkusen being handled by the right coach, even though before Leverkusen never reached its current level because it was always unable to face the elite Bundesliga clubs, but now everything is different and for the first time Leverkusen will lift the Bundesliga title this season and Bayern Munich of course frustrated because they failed to maintain their dominance in the Bundesliga.

But it looks like Bayern Munich will do something so that Leverkusen next season doesn't appear like this again with Bayern Munich making an offer to Xabi Alonso to become coach of Bayern Munich next season and if this offer is really accepted by Xabi Alonso it is possible that Leverkusen will not perform as well as it is now and we will see Xabi Alonso coaching a new club next season.

Undoubtedly, Martial isnt playing at his best in recent years. Sometimes a player needs a change of scenery, but injuries are more important. Not simply skill, but mental reset. Martial may be there; he's gifted but needs the appropriate environment to succeed. That Zirkzee interest from United may be the push he needs. Imagine his potential with a new squad

We should consider United's big picture. Recently, their setup hasnt been balanced. Transfer season is their chance to mend those misfit parts. Martial needs this transfer as much as United needs turnover. He must leave his comfort zone, yet staying put is worse. Sometimes a player needs a risk to get back on track. This might be Martial's breakthrough

Martial was actually the best attacking player for Manchester United when taking the number nine position. He made games easy for Manchester United and the best option there but then, he hasn't been consistent and with him being injury prone, it has really not helped him under Erik Ten Hag. He has no issue with the coach but lacked what we call consistency. He should be amongst the names leaving the club also Christian Eriksen.

I won't concur with this Zirkzee of a player move to Manchester United, I'd rather a Premier League based player who has experience well enough. I'd say either of Ivan Toney and Alaxander Isaak would do a better job because I'm not comfortable with the football Rasmus Hojlund play at times. I'm not really a fan of a number nine being a left footed player.

INEOS as a team aren't even swinging that way believe me. Also, I double doubt Romelu Lukaku extending his stay with the blues.

Reportedly Chelsea plans to sell two players this summer and those two names are Reece James and Conor Gallagher. It seems that Chelsea is still not satisfied with the current performance of their squad so they want to do this as additional funds to bring in other players in the transfer market later. Actually, I'm quite curious about what kind of players Chelsea want, especially since they spent so much money to bring in several players who were overrated last season.

Apart from that, I think this could be a strategic move for Chelsea where the players do not meet the club's expectations so they have to be sold so as not to burden the club's budget to pay players who are not contributing enough. I think that's quite right, but the problem is if Chelsea brings in the wrong players again then that will be a new problem for this club from London. The talent scout team and club management must work together well because this determines the future of the club and provides bright hopes for the future.

I do agree that Martial will leave, he hasn't been on his form even when he played and I think he needs to play for a team that has lower level squad to show himself again. Don't get me wrong, he is not at a level where he should retire, he is still great but Man United is trying to be in top four (and failing) so for a team that high at the biggest league in the world, it is not acceptable to play Martial. Whereas, if he goes to a team like maybe Luton or Sheffield or whatever, he would be a star. He needs a team in the middle, which could be back in France maybe?

A team that is trying to be in top 10 would LOVE to have Martial, he would shine there, and that is not a bad spot to be in for him, he can play at least another five seasons there.

im thinking very differently about those players. Reece James was a Chelsea veteran who played even better than Malo gusto. Look at how bad the Chelsea squad is. There must be something wrong with Chelsea because they keep trying to sell good players in exchange for the worst players and this will slowly but surely destroying chelsea.  It looks so pathetic to see how management become very unprofessional like this time. Chelsea has done it worst last season and people on the board is starting to worsening the worst thing that they have made last season.
Without a doubt, what we have seen in Chelsea is just another disaster caused by Chelsea's consistently poor performance. I recommend you watch this. Chelsea, with so many ignorant kids https://twitter.com/Juanin1Oi/status/1774319392701943972

The team will never ever make progress if there are a lot of selfish players in the club like this time when any attackers only caring about how to be one on one against goal keeper. Chelsea will sell those players, and it is completely unacceptable to see a player who has been extremely loyal to the club leave soon caused by chelsea was only willing to raise some money to buy more players. This sounds bullshit. Someone like Chalobach should be sold. 's better to sack Todd Boehly, as this guy is literally not even capable of handling a big team like this. Disgusting ownership showed by todd and beghdad.
This is also Chelsea's main problem. The people on the board have been successfully destroying Chelsea, and this is what England did to them.

It takes many decades to regain the good momentum that existed when Abramovich was there and it's all vanished in a short time. All of the elements in Chelsea are the main issue here that needs to be solved. Chelsea has an abundance of little brats. I am confizdent that this club will be relegated next season if it keeps show pathetic result like this time.
The new management produced is the main causes of pathetic result. It demonstrates that people with no knowledge of football should not lead large teams.

win all hurdles on their path?  What about the results of the match against Brentford? Does that make you satisfied? Don't cover up mistakes that everyone can clearly see. Erik Ten Hag has lost his strategy and continues to implement Build Up until now but the results are not effective. And this draw is clearly very embarrassing for the Red Devils, okay Ten Hag is targeting Dutch players because they dare to pay a high price for bad quality. To be honest, the contribution of the players recruited by Ten Hag ended up being on the bench due to injury. So if you want to change Man United, Ten Hag doesn't always have to prioritize players from there. Create diversity and restore the lost playing philosophy of the Red Devils.

[tusandii]

But it looks like Bayern Munich will do something so that Leverkusen next season doesn't appear like this again with Bayern Munich making an offer to Xabi Alonso to become coach of Bayern Munich next season and if this offer is really accepted by Xabi Alonso it is possible that Leverkusen will not perform as well as it is now and we will see Xabi Alonso coaching a new club next season.

You seem to have missed the important news that was discussed previously that Xabi Alonso will never have the intention to leave Bayer Leverkusen no matter what happens without being retained by Leverkusen management, Xabi still has big dreams with Leverkusen to be able to try to win higher titles in Champions League.
Bayern Munich will not have high hopes for Xabi arrival because Bayern Munich knows better when choosing the right coach with much more experience to get higher quality player performance, while Xabi does not have much experience.
Rumors of Xabi departure from Leverkusen will not happen this season or maybe in the next few seasons.

Well, I don't see Erik Ten Hag knowing how to manage; I just see him making a mess of things and spending money on the players he chooses. Did he spend a lot of money in the transfer window and what are the team's current results? Erik ten Hag should still give up hope of reaching the Top 4 this season because MU is far behind Aston Villa and Tottenham. With only 1 point against Brentford, MU is 8 and 11 points behind Spurs and Aston Villa, respectively. Obviously, MU played very badly. This is a common image of the Red Devils throughout this season. They played erratically, lacked stability and often let their opponents pressure them.

I feel like MU is no different from a mid-range team. Summer 2024, MU needs a strong reform. At that time, it was unlikely that Erik ten Hag could keep his position as head coach.

Xabi has made a decision for next season, he decided to stay with Leverkusen. This is good news for Leverkusen because they don't have to try hard to convince Xabi to stay with them. On the contrary, it closes down hopes for other clubs to be able to get Xabi's signature to become their coach.

I've already said they did well this season, and I'm more looking forward to seeing how they do next season. If Xabi can maintain this form and come back like this for next season, they will definitely get a lot of attention, especially Xabi Alonso. Surely he will be a coach that many of Europe's top clubs will compete to become their coach.

In my opinion, next season will be proof for Xabi that he is indeed a coach who can be really relied on. Because currently there are still many who think that what he did with Leverkusen this season was a stroke of luck that he got. He must be able to silence those who doubt them this season.

[Furious 7]

Why Manchester United need to change their striker again? Hojlund already filled this position, the problem arise if he's injured, Manchester United don't have any good player that can replace him. Zirkzee might join Manchester United sooner or later, as long as Ten Hag is still the manager because this manager always want to sign Netherlands players.

Probably Bologna will demand at least 50 Million Euros to Manchester United, but I think it could be 60-70 Million Euros considering he's still young.

Hojlund performance is still unstable and still cannot be used as a benchmark that he can boost Manchester United current attack line . In the previous few matches he did play very well where he always scored goals in the matches he did its just that when he was playing positively he actually got an injury problem that made him currently have to re-adapt to his game problems.

At the moment if it is possible i don't think its a problem to bring in a new striker but if they really want to look at other situations it seems like instead of for attacking problems they should also try to prioritize bringing in the defense because the current players arent really able to be optimal and bring in some players last season like Amrabat in the end it was just a waste of money and should be taken into consideration now when looking for players then they must really see whether the player fits or not with their style of play so as not to waste their money but the players brought in cannot contribute well .

[QueenVera]

I can't recall in detail what happened to him like two years ago or so, but I think he was fighting with a bigger injury. I might be wrong though. As far as I remember there have been clubs that were interested in him like one or two years ago, but he had a long-term contract with Leipzig and at the time I think the transfer free that Leipzig asked for was too high. However, taking into account what prices clubs are willing to pay for all kinds of players and also for players that are apparently weaker than Olmo, I wasn't expecting to see him play for Leipzig for so long.

But he extended his contract until 2027 eventually. I am sure his salary was raised significantly he might have a clause that allows him to leave the club. I am not sure about the details though, but I believe that in the upcoming summer transfer window there will be clubs trying again to sign him.

Leipzig has been performing well of recent in their league and comparing them to their last encounter they've been to a reasonable extent better than them in the ball play, dominance, victory and goal scoring opportunities and abilities. Leipzig now rubs shoulders with the likes of Bayern Munich, Dortmund who are amongst the tough clubs in the league.

 Leipzig does have a big chance against teams in the league and their victory in the coming games won't be surprising because they're the stronger team. Not withstanding, these teams should be able to play not forgetting that they still have games left for a couple of weeks in the league too and there shouldn't be resilience.

 Over the years, every season, we've seen certain teams leading the top chart of the Bundesliga and there's been some levels of consistency especially for Munich who's most of the time finished at the first position. Before now, Leverkusen and Stuttgart weren't even seen near the top four, it was always a Munich, Dortmund show but there's been much of a difference this season. Now there's a kinda rub shoulders between these teams, Leverkusen and Stuttgart who's been on the sidelines for seasons have now come up to be competitive for the trophy. Since the season began, they've been able to be threats to the trophy race, Munich now have to be extra cautious in their games too.

 They've lost twice in a row and it's kept the ints between them and Leverkusen. Also for Stuttgart who's been doing their best to keep their spot in the top 4 space. It's very much impression that this season took a different turn in the Bundesliga. Leipzig and Dortmund still have to strive to regain back their usual space on the table because currently, they're seemingly below the top 3, although with not much points difference which they still have a chance to meet up with.

Well, I don't see Erik Ten Hag knowing how to manage; I just see him making a mess of things and spending money on the players he chooses. Did he spend a lot of money in the transfer window and what are the team's current results? Erik ten Hag should still give up hope of reaching the Top 4 this season because MU is far behind Aston Villa and Tottenham. With only 1 point against Brentford, MU is 8 and 11 points behind Spurs and Aston Villa, respectively. Obviously, MU played very badly.

I feel like MU is no different from a mid-range team. Summer 2024, MU needs a strong reform. At that time, it was unlikely that Erik ten Hag could keep his position as head coach.

Erik Ten Hag has spent a lot of money in the transfer window at the beginning of the season, he brought in players according to his wishes but the performance of the Manchester United team is not better than last season, that already indicates that Erik Ten Hag has failed miserably so I think Manchester United management does not need to entrust him Erik Ten Hag again spends money to buy new players, the results will probably be the same.

Manchester United will have to make a major overhaul of their squad if they want to be a top team again competing for the title and I think Erik Ten Hag should be sacked.
