⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

This is something I have not thought about before. I always thought that they were going to play Mbappé as a striker of the team. I personally did not think that they would have any problem with Vini jr and Mbappé both being left-wingers. And I still don't think it is going to be a big problem. I just think that the media is trying to make a big issue out of it so that they can gather some views. I don't think Mbappé is going to have any issues playing as a striker in Real Madrid. I also believe Vini jr is going to perfectly complement him

It is not such a big issue, in my opinion, in which place Killyan Mbappe will stand, which position. Everyone knows that Killian Mbappe will play in the ST position and Vinice Jr. will be playing on the wing. In the media, I have not seen any news that Real Madrid is very concerned about how they will play both in the winger role. I think this is nothing but a rumor. Carlos Angeloti knows very well how to play Vinice Junior and Killyan Mbappe together like Vinice Junior as a winger and Killyan Mbappe as the main strike became Killyan Mbappe is a world-class finisher and in the middle of the attack he will be just brilliant. he will be the poucher of the net. Thus Vinice Jr is on the wing will be used as a wide player and will be used for press-ups as well as ball carry. So therefore Real Madrid's plan was to sign Killian Mbappe otherwise Real Madrid would have replaced one of their great players Vinice Jr with another great player Mbappe. In fact, Real Madrid wanted both to be used together so that there is no one to stop it.

From Chelsea we can learn that in the end no matter how much money we have but when a club does not have good management and good club management then everything will not be able to become anything because it is just like a bad investment today.

Chelsea have finances that are more than enough where when other clubs' problems always implicate money as happened for several EPL clubs such as Leicester or several other small clubs but that is not a problem for Chelsea because Todd has more than enough resources to advance a club but in the end only money alone cannot guarantee that a club can rise because apart from money as a support, of course there must be good management to manage a club to run well and that is what Todd's Chelsea era does not have now which makes their money seem wasted without producing anything in the last 2 seasons.

While we are getting near to the end of the season, again we see some news about Chelsea and the players they can buy during the end of this season. As you said Chelsea is not a team with a good management system and doesn't matter even if they change their coach or buy some more players. Chelsea hired Pochettino and we know Pochettino is a coach with knowledge but he still couldn't have good performance in Chelsea.
Now they want to hire some more players and even Victor Osimhen is linked to Cheslea for the next season but I don't think if they will be able to hire Osimhen if he accepts the offer from Cheslea with the current situation of Cheslea.

For now, changing coaches or reshuffling players for Chelsea is actually an action that is not too necessary because after all, it makes them worse because they have to adapt again and again because they do not believe in the process they have.
What must be done now is to give time and space to the players they have because after all at this time what Chelsea must need is chemistry and they cannot get that if they continue to dismantle every season considering things like this will actually affect performance and teamwork.
It is not wrong if in the end they add one or 2 players but for the whole as they always do every season I think it will actually make them hassle and in the end the money spent is wasted.

At this time Todd must realize that the overhaul scheme and wanting instant results every season with new players sometimes does not match expectations, therefore the new way by waiting is not wrong if they really want to try.

In fact, Real Madrid wanted both to be used together so that there is no one to stop it.

Playing as the main striker is not new position for Kylian Mbappe because he most often playing on striker position since last several season, he can adapt well when head coach put him as main striker and keep playing as well possibilities. I don't think any problem yet and Mbappe have reach personal agreement exactly he knows well Carlo Ancelotti tactician will put him as main striker or left and right winger position.
I don't think Real Madrid signing Kylian Mbappe for replacing Vinicius Jr position, there are not any scheme change with Real Madrid players composition exactly for Vinicius Jr and he keeps save his main position as left winger side. I think get little change with main striker only and next season if get reach agreement deal for signing Mbappe actually he will most plays as striker position not winger.

I hope Barcelona is not actually trying to let him go. Because I don't think there is anyone good who will take the responsibility of managing Barcelona at this moment.

When Barcelona was playing badly, everyone wants him out of the club and now most people seems to be regretting this. iirc wasnt he give his resignation letter and will leave the club whatever the result in the end will be? I dont thin Xavi is the type of person that will back off from his own words though so tough chance for him on staying with Barcelona

Imagine how harsh will this be for the fans if he ended up winning against Real Madrid this weekend

If you check deeply Xavi is not a terrible coach compared to some others even though he is not superb as well but he’s got qualities and winning the league last season with a team that has no finance to buy players is something the fans should appreciate him for, but they seem to forget all those days and when they are playing badly they blame it on the coach as want him replaced immediately. When a team is not doing well the coach needs to be questioned but in Xavi’s case he should be given more time because he barely has quality players to compete with other teams and yet he managed to keep them at the second position in the la liga and also still in the champions league about to knock PSG out.

When Kylian Mbappe completes his expected move to Real Madrid this summer, it could have the domino effect of taking Vinicius Jr to Liverpool for a club record fee.
That is according to a report from Sport, which reports that when Mbappe moves to Madrid it will raise doubts about Vinicius Jr’s future at the Santiago Bernabeu.

When Benzema was in Real Madrid there was no problem playing him and Vinicius Jr, there is also no issue playing him with Mbappé. The PSG player can comfortably be converted to the number nine while Vinicius will maintain his natural position. Both of them could also switch positions because they are versatile players.

Anyway, football is also a business therefore anything can happen. Liverpool might see the prospect of selling Salah this season for a good amount and this money could be used to buy his replacement. And if the replacement is Vinicius Jr, it is a great decision. However, I don't think Real Madrid will ever consider selling one of the best attackers in the world. His transfer clause is as high as €1b. Since there is no official reports from any club mentioned in this deal, we can just assume that it is a rumour.

You are right into your opinion about this all but here we also need to check few things which are important as we know Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappé are completely different players with Mbappé is selfish player which mostly love to play by himself which can make things problematic for the Real Madrid even we are talking too early about this all because there are too many rumours about this all with things will be clear after the end of this season as we will have officially announcement, and then we are also going to have few matches which will also give better view about Carlos Ancelotti strategy after having these players into his squad.

Mohammad Salah is also on verge of leaving as Jürgen Klopp is leaving the Liverpool which will make things interesting because we are going to have too many top-level changes in this transfer window while we will have too many coaches and players will be available for the transfer and things are surely going to make good, interesting changes for all.

Liverpool are interested in Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong, meaning Trent Alexander-Arnold could move into midfield.

I think not only Liverpool, but a lot of players are going to be pursued by bigger clubs, I am talking about players from Leverkusen. And I think the market value of those players are also going to increase. And I think if Liverpool actually gets him, there are going to be positional changes in the squad. But I don’t want to make any assumptions very early on because the change that is going to happen with Liverpool is very big. The coach of Liverpool is going to change. So There are going to be huge changes in the squad in my opinion. So any prediction can be wrong.

[doomloop]

This season is not Rashford best season because his performance was decline compared to last season because from 39 matches in all competitions with Manchester United Rashford only can scores 9 goals but i think potentially Rashford will be stayed because basically Ten Hag feel he still need Rashford for next season but indeed some of media has starting to speculate his future at Manchester United after rumours PSG want to bought him with expensive price because Rashford will be used as the replacement of Mbappe who possibly will leave PSG after this season ended

But PSG has been make a statement recently because they said it just a rumour and will not be happend because they never interested to bought Rashford and regarding Leao just like i said before apparently Manchester United will putting him as the priority because Ten Hag feel Manchester United still required more players for winger position but indeed there is a possibility if this transfer happened then Rashford will starting to thinking his future in Manchester United because if they really bought Leao then possibly Rashford status only as substitution player and he doesn't want it

Not unless Ten himself is replaced, I don't know why management still trusts him. Are they of the opinion that they'd rather be in 7th place than 10th? It seems to me that next season they may well be in 10th place if they continue this policy, because you can see that his schemes and tactics rarely work....

Most chances we will have change of management in Manchester United after end of this season because situation is completely not good and new owner is also not happy with the performance of the Eric Ten Hag which is creating serious problems and most of the quality players are fail to give their best into their performance and things are going from bad to worse as well which are not acceptable for the fans and owners.

Manchester United having too many quality players, but they are not able to bring good results which are surely the worst thing with Ten Hag is having something problem Sir Ratcliffe is surely better person who can bring good changes and things can go positive for this club which is important because now patience is going to be ended with these results which are painful for the fans.

Xavi announced weeks ago that he would leave the team. I think he will keep his word and leave the team. The problem for us now is who the new coach will be. Will Barcelona be better with the new coach? This is a matter of curiosity because they also beat PSG in France and are very close to the next round. Actually, I think they are having a very good season.

I think Frimpong will still stay at Leverkusen despite the many offers coming his way this summer and as long as Xabi Alonso is still coaching Leverkusen then he definitely doesn't want to leave Leverkusen. Apart from that, his position is more of an LMF and not a right back. I think he would have difficulty adapting to Liverpool if he were placed in Alexander Arnold's previous position.

On the other hand, the factor of Kloop's departure will of course be a separate consideration for him because it is impossible, even though Liverpool promises him a top spot and even a championship title, he also doesn't want to be under a coach he doesn't know. So the right decision is to remain under the guidance of Xabi Alonso and at least with the same squad they will remain one of the teams in Europe to be reckoned with after this season surprised various parties.

Will Barcelona be better with the new coach? This is a matter of curiosity because they also beat PSG in France and are very close to the next round. Actually, I think they are having a very good season.

What Xavi did was right by taking the option to leave, he was not disloyal to the Barcelona club, but Xavi felt he did not have the support of the owner and a number of management. We need to remember, at that time Xavi came with open arms and tried to improve Barcelona with all its shortcomings, minimal costs, but was required to continue to show his best game. Xavi managed to present the La Liga trophy as proof. But Laporta is still Laporta, they have no choice but to use the excuse of saving costs, etc. Xavi finally expressed his disappointment with the decision to leave the club at the end of the season and whoever replaces him I thought it would be easy to become a coach under heavy pressure and minimal financial conditions.

[klidex]

I hope Barcelona is not actually trying to let him go. Because I don't think there is anyone good who will take the responsibility of managing Barcelona at this moment. To be honest the other coaches are going to just see the financial condition of Barcelona and lose interest. Because for a club to perform well, you need to bring in good players. If you cannot bring in good players and do not have a good amount of money you will not be able to perform well against big opponents. Considering the financial situation of Barcelona right now, I think Xavi is actually doing a decent job.

I'm sure Barcelona has no plans to let go of this coach. Of course Barcelona is trying to persuade Xavi to stay longer with the club. Indeed, Barcelona shouldn't put so much pressure on Xavi even though Barcelona itself is unable to provide financial encouragement to Xavi, but the club wants good results which of course makes Xavi depressed because he felt he couldn't make Barcelona appear as a big club capable of winning the title because Barcelona itself lost the opportunity to win the title because it was already quite far behind Real Madrid so Barceloma also had to accept the fact that its performance was not optimal this season. It was only natural that it would be defeated by Real Madrid.

If Barcelona still wants Xavi to continue at the club, he must make an offer that Xavi is interested in, perhaps by giving him financial support in buying the players he needs. So far, Xavi has not gotten what he wants since being at Barcelona, but he has been able to provide good performance with existing players, so I think if the club talks well with Xavi and no longer puts pressure on him, maybe Xavi will still want to stay but the fanatical Barcelona fans must also do the same thing, every coach certainly wants the best for his club but if there are too many Criticism sometimes makes a coach's mentality shrink.

These all just a cheap rumor, currently there are not many teams interested with Leverkusen's players.

Actually Bayern Munich is interested with Frimpong, but he's over valued, he was good in the last season, but now his performance is declining. But I'm surprised how can a team like Liverpool is interested with him even though he was not as good as before.

I don't expect there will be huge changes in the squad, they need at least to prove themselves two times in Bundesliga, this will make other teams believe they're good quality instead of luck.

Here we go, it seems like that the rumor about naglesmann to be munich's coach again is not fake. This as per the latest news reported by goal.

After Xabi Alonso communicated his decision to stay at Bayer Leverkusen, the Bavarian club have stepped up their efforts to bring back Nagelsmann. The club's sporting directors Christoph Freund and Max Eberl are currently negotiating the terms with the manager's agency Sports360 and will offer either a three-year or four-year contract.

Im still questioning myself regarding bayern's case. Why sack him to recruit tuchel if club is now willing to bring back him to the club? The officials of bayern are so stupid. They can't even understand the important to have someone who approved by all of players. Things are going even complicated for bayern.
It's hard to understand the main mission fro tuchel here. So, bayern was trying to repeat chelsea's gambling to recruit tuchel at the middle of season in order to win UCL? What a fuckin horrible thing. It seems true caused by after bayern failed with current UCL and it's now departing with tuchel.
Bayern's director in talks with naglesmann's agent and we will see whether naglesmann will agree to become bayern munich's new apointment again. It's hard to understand it.

Bayern munich makes everything get even more complicated.

I somehow agree still currently he is doing one of the best job with these available sources because Barcelona crisis are going deepen day by day they are having no solid strategy for the fixing their financial problem and having new players as well but still Xavi is doing good and sudden change of performance bring positivity into team as well which is also good. Chances are high for them to have spot into final of the Champions League which could be another booster and this will bring confidence into all team for the better results and having improved performance in coming season which is needed.

Chances are not high for the La Liga but Champions League booster is still good because their win against PSG in Paris is good and now in Barcelona they can do this again, hopefully we will have all good at the end after this season as well.

If they beat Real Madrid at the weekend, this will cause one of the biggest problems for Barcelona. I think Xavi's place will not be filled easily. He cannot be replaced by any other coach. I think Real Madrid is a luckier team against Barcelona, ​​but if Barcelona wins, I think the team should put pressure on Xavi not to resign.

But in certain conditions, such as problems related to player crises due to injuries or due to calls from the national team, these players still make Xavi not work very well, he cannot solve problems and Barcelona experiences decline in the quality of performance.
Things like this have happened several times this season and it has made everyone doubt Xavi performance as coach, who knows what his future is, but at least we have to really see the end of this season.
But basically there are many rumors stating that after this season ends Barcelona is ready to replace Xavi with new coach, but whether that is true or not because believing rumors is not very profitable.

It just that Barcelona will face PSG tomorrow for the second leg of the UCL and face Real Madrid next week for La Liga match, if they can win maybe Xavi can be on defense for the next season.

One of hottest name is looking to make the decision of his future.

Barcelona are confident young prodigy Pau Cubarsi will sign a new contract despite interest from Premier League clubs.

https://www.90min.com/pau-cubarsi-decision-barcelona-future-premier-league

We have been seeing how cubarsi had prevented mbappt to score. He was in another level despite his age which is still 17 years old. Being able to be one on one against mbappe has proven that how good cubarsi is. No doubt that if many teams are starting to put him as their target.
It seems curbarsi will stay even longer in barcelona. I think that cubarsi needs to get a lot of expernence. The better for him to get more knowledge in barcelona. It will be really beneficial for him and his future.,

Cubarsi is a potential player and xavi is not let him to leaving from the club. This is pretty much the same like yamal which has also become a potential player owned by the club.

[Oneandpure]

I don't think Xavi Hernandez is not loyal manager because first time arriving in Barcelona the team condition vey terrible and get small fund for recruiting new players. Get huge pressure from manager and fans when Barcelona getting failure with the other side management not support yet for him for easily signing top players. Have several time Xavi announced to media he will leave Barcelona at the end in this season what ever the result by winning Champion League and La Liga tittle or not.

Barcelona should be realistic with their target profit season by season, difficult with financial condition and giving huge pressure for manager to win La Liga and Champion League its difficult without support much money for manager spending to sign their favorite players. Next season not only will leave by Xavi but also has João Cancelo and João Félix after Barcelona difficult for paying fee transfer and make them have permanent contract.
