⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Raflesia]

For the midfield, it actually won't be too much of a problem for Madrid because even if the worst possibility of Modric and Kroos leaving next season but Ancelotti has minimized it from the start by doing some rotation and habituation to his players when there is no Modric and Kroos from the last 2 seasons and their young players also in midfield are still very good now where there is Tchouameni, Camavinga and Valverde who can be maximized so even if they do not add a midfielder it is still not a big problem even though ideally there are several players who are brought later but indeed for now Madrid's focus is likely to still be on the attack and defense.

At the moment when talking about Mbappe it is still hanging because with what is happening now Mbappe in Madrid is also still uncertain even though there is a very big chance to join Madrid for Mbappe but we know that Mbappe and PSG always do drama every season especially when the transfer season takes place.

Real Madrid possesses one of the best midfield players in the world but how to rotate and use them haven't been a big issue for Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian manager is very experienced and surely knows how to maximize the use of his midfield options at the club. Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are the most experienced of the midfield players at Real Madrid and have contributed immensely to the club's progress over the last decade but reports have it that Luka Modric will be leaving Real Madrid at the end of the season and probably head to Saudi Arabia.
Young midfield players like Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, Camavinga and Aurelien Tchoumeni can play in the Real Madrid midfield ajd still deliver great performances. Toni Kroos is currently 34 years of age and I think he still have a lot in tank when it comes to playing and I won't be surprised if he continues to represent Real Madrid beyond the current season.

Modric's certainty is still unclear but it is likely that he will leave the Madrid squad even though his fate will be where we still cannot predict it because there is no situation that can really be ascertained that Modric's next destination after he leaves Madrid.
However, it will not be a big problem because Ancelotti's rotation in the last 2 seasons has functioned to keep the squad good despite Modric's departure.

In the end, it will have an impact because Modric is one of the cogs of Madrid's attack but on the other hand, they can be fine and I am sure of that because Madrid's young players are currently very good in terms of play and they can be relied on to support the midfield to be even better. Jude's position could be flexible but I think the trio of Camavinga, Tchouameni and Valverde is still a very good option.

Personally, I think he will be redundant at Manchester City as the team is well-stocked and doesn't need another striker like Mbappe when they have Haalande. If both players are competing for the golden ball and are unlikely to stand competition with each other playing in the same team, it could have a negative impact on the team as a whole. But it's fair to say that it would be a great duo

The distribution of their roles within the team would be pretty clear though. Haaland is a center forward and nothing else. He could never play a different position and he doesn't have any special talent to play anywhere else other than in the center. But Mbappe is more versatile. He could play as a left winger for sure and he could get several degrees of freedom for his game. I would put him as a semi-winger /  semi-center forward player if I had Haaland and Mbappe available at the same time. But I agree with you that for Mbappe it would be better to go to Real Madrid and have his position in the center saved.

Considering the style of football Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland plays, it's absolutely possible for both players to feature in one team because unlike Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe can perfectly play in the positions but Haaland is only good as a top 9 striker. Manchester City without doubt will do anything within their strength to make sure they bring Kylian Mbappe to the club if the chance ever comes but I don't think such thing is going to happen because Real Madrid have reportedly completed over 85% contract deals that'll see the French national team captain join them in the summer. Mbappe also wants to join Real Madrid in the summer and that's why I don't give too much attention to rumours that suggests that Kylian Mbappe might just join another club that's not Real Madrid when he leaves his current club Paris Saint Germaine

Manchester City are interested in signing Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton.
Real Madrid and Manchester United are also keen on the defender.

He is a good player and can be very essential for the defense of any club. Here it says that Manchester City, Manchester United and Real Madrid are interested in him. I guess we might as well not count Manchester United in this one. Because who would go to Manchester United when they are being pursued by Real Madrid and Manchester City at this moment? This 21-year-old can be a great asset for any club you going forward in the future.

I think if Real Madrid wants a player, they can buy that player.

This is a habit owned by real madrid but as long as it can keep its financial to run properly and why not? buying the new player is not something wrong. It's caused by developing the talent takes a lot of time and it's not all of players can be developed properly. Real madrid needs this solution in order to find the fastest solution for the club.

I think they are the greatest team in football. Therefore, if one of the candidate teams is Real Madrid, it will be more difficult than usual for the other teams that want him to convince the player. It is a transfer for the future for Real Madrid, but if they cannot play him in the team, there is no point in transferring him.

Totally depends on the players itself. If a player has a dream to play in real madrid and is not it obvious if he will join in real madrid? thing will be so different if this player was not even favoring real madrid as a club. Madrid is the most prestigious club in the world compared to the competitors but it doesn't mean if all of players put it as their favorite clubs, right?



He was the best defenders in euopa right now in term of duel 1 on 1. No doubt that rela madrid needs a complete defender like him to strengthen the club.

Hojlund had a good performance in the Champions League, but could not make enough contribution in the league. I think 7 goals in 21 matches is a small contribution and he had many scoring opportunities on his own in the future. There were many positions that he could not evaluate. I'm sure it will be better next year. I think we need to give young players an opportunity for a year or two.

The high transfer fee has made him a striker with high expectations. The performances and statistics in his previous club have shown his talent and potential, but his contribution to Manchester United have not met the expected level. Scoring seven goals in 21 matches indeed may seem average for him. Organized display by the team may not be in his favor that makes him struggled to convert chances.

Fans have reason to expect improvement from Hojlund. Manchester United need to give him the opportunity to develop and grow over the next year or two. He could be a valuable asset for the attacking display. Hojlund have the potential to make a greater impact and contribute more consistently, with the right guidance and opportunities, to the success in the future. It's common that new players need time to adapt, especially in the team that is rebuilding.

There will be another drama from barcelona and im sure about this. It will be coming from raphinha and barcelona.

Barcelona want to cash in on Raphinha in the summer despite the winger scoring the winner against Las Palmas recently.

https://www.goal.com/en/lists/explained-barcelona-will-push-raphinha-leave-summer-scoring-crucial-las-palmas-winner/blt46928e04228480a1

It's clearly said that if raphinha was not feeling so good with barcelona's environment but he likes to stay till the end of his contract but bracelona demands to cash out him in order to help the club's financial. So, this will be triggering another drama like when barcelona was in the conflict against some of its players who were rumored to leave from the club.
The same story like when barcelona had problem with de jong is coming again. Barcelona feels so difficult to cashout their players before their contract will end. Im sure that this is gonna be another drama for the summer transfer season since raphinha insist to stay in barcelona much longer.

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.

-snip
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.

Anthony Martial wants to stay at Manchester United until the summer and is not interested in a move away from Old Trafford this month.
Martial has rejected interest from Marseille, Fenerbahce and the Saudi Arabian Premier League and intends to stay and fight for his place in Erik ten Hag's team.

Source: https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/13045223/anthony-martial-man-utd-forward-determined-to-see-out-remainder-of-old-trafford-contract

Martial is one of those futures who haven’t shined yet. He has got enough chances with Manchester United in the previous seasons but I feel like he needs more playing time. He is still a young player who has potential.

@Velvet78, so I agree with you, he needs to join a club where he can get more game time. But if his performance was up to the mark, I don't think he would have had to battle for the starting position in the first place. Højlund is better than current Martial and I don’t think anyone can argue about that.

Martial should join a club where he can get chances even if his performances are not up to the mark. Manchester United is too big of a club to keep giving him chances. But I think there would be many clubs who would be willing to take him on loan or sign him.

Modric's certainty is still unclear but it is likely that he will leave the Madrid squad even though his fate will be where we still cannot predict it because there is no situation that can really be ascertained that Modric's next destination after he leaves Madrid.
However, it will not be a big problem because Ancelotti's rotation in the last 2 seasons has functioned to keep the squad good despite Modric's departure.

Jude's position could be flexible but I think the trio of Camavinga, Tchouameni and Valverde is still a very good option.

His contract with Real Madrid will expire in June, 2024. I heard a rumor, Ancelotti offers him to be apart of Real Madrid coaching staff. If Modric decides to retire in the end of this season, he can accept the offer made by Ancelotti. But if Modric still wants to continue his career as a professional player. Modric must leave Real Madrid since there is no contract extension. There are a rumor of the interest from Saudi teams, they will give Modric a huge salary of Modric wants to play in SPL. Now, it depends on what the decision wants to make by Modric.

I don't think the departure of Modric won't give a serious impact. There are already enough top midfielders to replace Modric's role. Camavinga, Tchouameni, Bellingham, and Valverde are some players who have the same position as Modric. And we must realize that Modric is getting rarely to play full time recently. It indicates that Real Madrid no longer too depends on Modric anymore.

Raphinha journey in Barcelona is not easy and last season when first time to play with Barcelona Raphinha was difficult to adapt with this team and he even have to lost to compete with Ousmane Dembele to gets 1 place on Barcelona starting lineup but after Ousmane Dembele sell to PSG Xavi too still didn't fully trust Raphinha because Xavi was more prefer to playing Lamine Yamal on his position and this makes Barcelona have been thinking to sell him this summer and that's why since last summer there was a rumour that Barcelona are going to sell Raphinha because this player hasn't too usefull moreover Barcelona probably will gets huge money from this transfer because some of Premier League teams and also Saudi Arabian teams are showing their interest to him but Raphinha was refuse to sell and he says he want to stayed for much longer in Barcelona although there is no guarantee for him to playing regularly for each matches especially Barcelona will have new manager next season so his situation in this team can became an uncertain

United has one thing good going for them, which is a young few players that can do great for them. I am not saying that they will do amazingly or anything like that, but they do have a core that can be used well. I hope that we can see them do well again, just recently they finished third, so it is not like they are that far away from it.

I am sure that we are going to end up with anything different, we should consider the situation to be a bit different. I know that life isn't all that simple so we can consider this to be very risky move. I am guessing that we are going to see some good transfers this summer from them, it is not going to be simple and we are going to see them do a little differently with time.

They should sell if players like Marcus Rashford ( He's shown no passion while playing for the club lately. ) Can he go take a look at how Luiz Diaz displays for Liverpool? He seems to have forget when to pass, track back, defend and also make two touch with the ball, him hanging on the ball for too long six to seven touches makes it he'll boring.

Harry Maguire, Christian Eriksen, Scott MC Tominay, Jonny Evans,  Sancho, Pelistri and I also feel same way about Antony because they have nothing to offer Manchester United in the long run.

Erik Ten Hag is not a bad coach but he will learn the hard way for being stubborn, he should start playing Marcus Rashford from the bench so he doesn't gets or feel too important. Barcelona should make no mistakes, they should cash out big from the sale of Robert Lewandoski and Raphina.

Well, that could happen considering that Raphinha is player with fairly high selling price and this agreement with another team could make Barcelona get big profits to improve the team finances.
I also think that in the future there will definitely be drama like the one previously experienced by de Jong, but the problem that previously occurred created lot of negative feedback from everyone including Barcelona fans and also created heated discussion among football fans.
It just that Barcelona has the right to do anything to all its players and problems that might arise later are also problems that might affect other players and the team performance.
Team administrators, coaches and others, have to consider many things when making decisions because if problem like what previously happened with de Jong happened again with Raphinha, then clearly that would not be very good.

Jude's position could be flexible but I think the trio of Camavinga, Tchouameni and Valverde is still a very good option.

Previously we have heard Toni Kroos has received a new contract offer for 1 year from Madrid, but somehow Modric actually did not get the same offer at this time, despite their old age but still Kroos and Modric are a midfielder duo who are quite strong and creative so far in Madrid, but indeed the loyalty of the two players does not always get a good reception from the club as is the case with Modric now.

Reportedly Madrid wants to extend Modric's contract for another 1 season, but on the condition that he must retire from the Croatian national team at this time, Madrid reason is because with his current age will certainly make him vulnerable to injury and fatigue when playing for the team, besides that Modric also rejected the offer to become a coaching staff and prefers to continue playing football even in Saudi Arabia or America.
I think with Belingham, Valverde, Ceballos, Camavinga, Tchouameni in the middle of the middle maybe Modric is no longer needed by Madrid at this time as a player, besides that reportedly Madrid is also eyeing Nicolo Barella from Intermilan to be plotted as a replacement for Modric, currently there are several clubs that want to sign Modric namely Arab club AL Hillal and also MLS club Inter Miami and I think at his age who is currently playing in competitions that are not competitive is solution for him.

His departure will not have a serious impact on Real Madrid, but still his loss will be felt considering he is a player who has had a big impact on Real Madrid's game, so even though it is small, I think the influence will still be there.
Regarding his future, it is possible that the rumors were true when Ancelotti made Modric an offer to be on the coaching staff because I think he also has the talent to become a coach. With his advantage in the midfield, usually players like that have a good chance of becoming a coach. And Modric also has good abilities in reading the game, that will be a big asset for him to become a coach.
But I haven't heard anything about whether he will stay, retire, or go to another team. What is clear is that before his contract actually expires he will be seen with Real Madrid and I think it is possible that he will be extended again. But let's see what Real Madrid will do with this player.

Kroos isn't even that old, he can still play for next 4 years if we compare to Modric's ages.

Well it's really bold statement that Real Madrid didn't allow Modric to play in his national team, I don't think Modric will accept that because he never absent to play in his national team since 2006. Even Modric was grow from Real Madrid and Real Madrid is one of biggest football team, when it comes to nationally, it's a different case...

[klidex]

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.

Rasmus Højlund is the best striker that Manchester United has but in my opinion this player is just ordinary and not very active in scoring goals. I think recruiting a new striker to replace Rasmus Højlund is not a problem because in my opinion this player is just ordinary, maybe injury is a factor. affecting him so that he has not been able to perform optimally. Replacing him with a more productive striker could make Manchester United stronger in attack, unlike this season.

In my opinion, Joshua Zirkzee is a better striker than Rasmus Højlund if Manchester United wants to buy him from Bologna. I'm also happy because Manchester United is making a change in players so that next season they can perform better. Relying on the current players doesn't seem to be completely expected because of their performance Manchester United this season has not been completely consistent so Manchester United must do something for next season.

But Manchester United don't just think about recruiting a striker, they also have to think about improving their back line because it's useless if they have a good front line but Manchester United's back line is still bad so Manchester United often concede goals like this season they conceded a lot of goals so they haven't creates a goal difference between the goals he creates and the goals conceded.

[Velvet78]

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.

They don't need to change their striker. You got me wrong. Hojlund will stay of course. I'm talking about Martial. I believe it is the best for Manchester United to part ways with him while he can't make a good level of contribution to the team due to various seasons. If he was a more consistent player he would be really useful now.

If Erik ten Hag stays as the manager for the Red Devils next season as well then I hope he can make the needed transfers for specific positions to get stronger before new season. They need to improve in defense and offense lines both considering the statistics.

Well, this is also what I think, compared to thinking about the front line, I think they should pay more attention to the back line, yes, although looking at both is definitely better. However, for now, the position that they have to really pay attention to, in my opinion, is that the back line is still far from consistent. They just need to make some small changes in the front line I think the results will be better, but when looking at the back line, they have more work than other positions.
Erik Ten Hag will most likely stay with Manchester United next season, because until now I have not heard anything that threatens Erik Ten Hag's position by management, although not all Manchester United supporters expect Erik Ten Hag to be their coach.

Now, it depends on what the decision wants to make by Modric.

Continuing his career in the Saudi pro league if he does get an offer and still wants to play is a good choice not because the salary is bigger but he might still get a place in the starting XI at the club even though he is no longer young.
But of course it is not easy to move to SPL because there are many things that have to be adjusted, including the weather because the weather in Europe and Saudi Arabia is very different which might make him not very comfortable.

But for some reason I see him as a player who really loves Real Madrid, so if there really isn't a contract extension, maybe there will be, considering that Real Madrid has extended Toni Kroos' contract for another season, so there's an opportunity for Modric to become the coaching staff it could be his decision later.

Obviously, there is no point in renewing the contract with a 38-year-old football player, perhaps it will be posible if he wants to play another season in the team, but you are right, the competition in such a team is too high, and it will be more difficult for him in the next years. Any decision will be good for him, if he goes to Saudi Arabia, he will be able to earn very good money, if he stays to work in Real Madrid, he will stay with his favorite club, which is perhaps even better.

Martial is one of those futures who haven’t shined yet. He has got enough chances with Manchester United in the previous seasons but I feel like he needs more playing time. He is still a young player who has potential.

@Velvet78, so I agree with you, he needs to join a club where he can get more game time. But if his performance was up to the mark, I don't think he would have had to battle for the starting position in the first place. Højlund is better than current Martial and I don’t think anyone can argue about that.

Martial should join a club where he can get chances even if his performances are not up to the mark. Manchester United is too big of a club to keep giving him chances. But I think there would be many clubs who would be willing to take him on loan or sign him.

Anthony Martial need not more playing time at United anymore because considering his impact to the club since his signing in 2015 is nothing to show for rather than always being benched due to series of injury and even in the matches he was featured, he doesn't put in more efforts for his team.

How can he get more playing time when he is always involved in injury most of the time and nothing kills a players career to always having injuries and doesn't appear in most matches.

Talking about joining a club where he can get more playing time is still the same way at United, because this is literally a player that falls to injury easily or isn't it a player that is fit that would be given more playing time? To the best of my knowledge, Martial has already killed his career at united so whether he stays or move in to try at other clubs wouldn't change anything.

Modric's certainty is still unclear but it is likely that he will leave the Madrid squad even though his fate will be where we still cannot predict it because there is no situation that can really be ascertained that Modric's next destination after he leaves Madrid.
However, it will not be a big problem because Ancelotti's rotation in the last 2 seasons has functioned to keep the squad good despite Modric's departure.

In the end, it will have an impact because Modric is one of the cogs of Madrid's attack but on the other hand, they can be fine and I am sure of that because Madrid's young players are currently very good in terms of play and they can be relied on to support the midfield to be even better. Jude's position could be flexible but I think the trio of Camavinga, Tchouameni and Valverde is still a very good option.

His contract with Real Madrid will expire in June, 2024. I heard a rumor, Ancelotti offers him to be apart of Real Madrid coaching staff. If Modric decides to retire in the end of this season, he can accept the offer made by Ancelotti. But if Modric still wants to continue his career as a professional player. Modric must leave Real Madrid since there is no contract extension. There are a rumor of the interest from Saudi teams, they will give Modric a huge salary of Modric wants to play in SPL. Now, it depends on what the decision wants to make by Modric.

I don't think the departure of Modric won't give a serious impact. There are already enough top midfielders to replace Modric's role. Camavinga, Tchouameni, Bellingham, and Valverde are some players who have the same position as Modric. And we must realize that Modric is getting rarely to play full time recently. It indicates that Real Madrid no longer too depends on Modric anymore.

Modric leaving wont hurt Real Madrid. Their team is too strong. He's a great player. Though faint, it will leave a mark. Talent loss always has repercussions.

Those Ancelotti rumors may be true. Its possible Modric has a natural coaching instinct. Many top midfielders do. He reads the game like no one else, which is invaluable for a coach.

See what happens. Retirement? Another team? Folks, Im unaware. I know that until his contract expires, he's Real Madrid, and they'll want to keep him. Wait and see what they decide.
