⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[kawetsriyanto]

Because Xavi said Barcelona could not compete with Real Madrid, this is what infuriated Laporta so that he would fire him, he did not realize that his finances were fine but we know buying expensive players is difficult even in installments of several years.

It shouldn't be a big reason to fire Xavi. It is normal if Xavi said the current Barcelona squad isn't strong enough to compete for the tittle with Real Madrid. It is the fact!! Lets' take a look at Barcelona squad, they have lack of experienced players. Their attacking and defense have not enough quality players. Xavi only can add new players from Barcelona academy. This condition makes Xavi frustrated. Barcelona management set a target to win trophy but Xavi can't have enough good players in Barcelona squad. It is like an impossible mission, right?  

Barcelona will not reach the crisis of stability in a few years can still be maintained and some players are willing to go there even though the salary is small because it may be different from playing with Barcelona, but I'm sure Barcelona can still buy some players in the transfer now.

Barcelona can deal with the crisis if Barcelona gets a new owner of the club. The rich people from Saudi may be interested to invest their money into Barcelona. Man City is the example of a successful club after they got a new owner.

Catalans are very proud people and would never accept that their club would be sold to foreign investors. Of course many would want to buy the club, Barcelona is one of the most famous clubs in the world and has a very long history with many trophies and although they are financially struggling they are still one of the top clubs in Europe. Nevertheless, I don't believe in a sale.

I don't think it's like that, because the system of Barcelona which was initially difficult because it was not owned by an individual is what made the situation difficult to release because until now we know that Barcelona is not owned by one person but many parties who have shares there which makes when the club president tries to propose to sell it difficult because surely from all the current shareholders there will be people who oppose or agree which makes Barcelona difficult to transfer.

It's not just about the Catalan problem or anything in my opinion but indeed they don't have a collective agreement because in the end it's also about business and money in the end.

Meanwhile, Tiago Motta, who is Bologna current coach, seems very suitable to be Allegri successor, he has succeeded in bringing Bologna to develop for the better. Tiago Motta has proven successful in bringing Bologna to qualify for the Champions League next season. Apart from that, Allegri was unable to convince club officials with the Coppa Italia trophy, because in Serie A Juventus looked like a team that was dying to maintain its position in the top four. A number of draws obtained towards the end of the season, led Allegri to the exit door, and hopefully Juventus can become a team challenging for the title next season after they changed managers.

Judging from the current rumors and the many reports coming from trustworthy media such as Fabrizio Romano, it is indeed possible that next season we could see a new coach because Allegri is considered a failure after this season did not achieve the expectations set even though it was the beginning of the season and the middle Juventus season is playing well.

Mota is one of the best coaches currently in Serie A apart from De Rosi for a new coach so it would be very good if in the end Juventus could tie this coach up and bring him to the city of Turin.
Even though there are no definite guarantees in this matter, I still think it would be quite good if today's changes were made to Juventus' management because it is already quite difficult for Allegri to do more for Juventus.

The current squad of Barcelona doesn't seem to be ambitious for titles and its definitely going to take a while before watching Barcelona retraced their steps and winning trophies as usual. The Catalans giant are no longer financially strong as expected, they've recorded significant loss in the past years and this is not helping matters on their end. Barcelona are in chronic debt and this is not helping matters on their end. Barcelona president, Joan Laporta have done his best to  make good improvements but everything is just a matter of time.

Real Madrid is going after everyone recently.    Just as they are rumoured to be after Alphonso Davies as well. However there is some fresh news like they aren't that interested anymore. Is it really true

I kinda wonder why most people would still be interested on whoever Real Madrid going to sign when the main dish has been served? IKYK

Mbappe will go there after the season ends and this is the main dish that will really blast the whole news outlet so Im really interested to know all those rumours circulating within Mbappe and Real Madrid. As of now, there is no  rumours on how much will Mbappe receive if he go there. Obviously he is going to get alot as well though, absolutely not for 'free' for his signing bonus

[bering]

something that must be done by a popular team like Liverpool which must regenerate old players or players who are no longer productive to replace them with more productive young players and players like Joel Matip and also Thiago who have previously contributed their talents to Liverpool and now is the time to do so parting ways for a better future for the team.
maybe for fans it will look sad, but for fans who can understand the situation of the team, every season it will always regenerate players who can improve the bad performance that must be improved and this is the policy between Liverpool and these two players.
on the one hand, this is not a bad thing for these two players because Thiago and Joel Matip have the opportunity to go to seek new experiences with teams from other leagues to continue their careers.

Joel Matip was part of Liverpool when this team gets champion League and Premier League title and he was joined with Liverpool for almost 8 years and for Thiago Alcantara he was joining since 2020 and Thiago also has help Liverpool to gets several trophies under Klopp so these players has a lot of contribution for Liverpool but indeed this season both players didn't playing regularly because they got injured especially Joel Matip that since the beginning of season he was got long term injured and maybe these factors too why Liverpool has decide will not extended their contract

Besides the factors above i have to agree with you that Liverpool will be regeneration their squad so that's why they will sell old players besides Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara some players such as Mo Salah, Diaz and Van Dijk also rumoured will be leave this summer too and if these rumours is true and the players which i mentioned above is really leave Liverpool then obviously Liverpool want to build new era under new manager Arne Slot and hopefully this change will have a positive impact on Liverpool's performance for next season

That’s why Madrid are regarded as the galacticos, they usually go for the big names on world football. When they went quite on Mbappe deal months ago I knew they had the deal almost done because they don’t do just any kind of deal. For now Mbappe is almost coming to Madrid as I don’t see any club that he would want to go and play for except Manchester city and he had already ruled out premier league football for now.

As for his wages he will definitely be among European highest paid players but the ridiculous amount he was paid in PSG will definitely not be what he will get at Madrid. Perez is usually strictly when handing out contracts to players a huge wage might causes a wage gap fight Between elite players.

As for Alphonse Davis I think he will be a Real Madrid player too, Madrid are just not trying to force a transfer so as not to break the rules of transfer as Davis is still contracted to Bayern Munich and it will be disrespectful to do that

Barcelona are in chronic debt and this is not helping matters on their end. Barcelona president, Joan Laporta have done his best to  make good improvements but everything is just a matter of time.

The issue is that Laporta's solution did not solve the problem. He was simply delaying the problem and never intend to find the best solution to fix the problem. Barcelona will not always be in a bad situation if it continues to make the same mistakes as before like denying any offer to sell their players at the maximum price. That will help barcelona a lot in gather some money to pay the debt. Consider when Barcelona was constantly denying offers to its players and this makes me thing how selfish barcelona is. that's why they deserved to be trapped in the big debt. 
Even hbarceloa has been banned from registering the new player as well. You know that if it's one of bad impact from barcelona's bad financial condition.
The club was constantly deciding to keep them until they became worthless. There have been numerous stories about it, particularly those involving the ansu fati. Barce never learns from its mistakes and keeps doing the same thing over and over again.
I don't doubt it if the club is in a difficult situation as a result of the official's mistakes.

I think Liverpool is trying to refresh the squad by getting rid of players who are injury prone like Thiago and Matip. They have done this last summer by letting go five players. Liverpool still have some injury prones in the squad like Alisson, Konate and Diogo Jota. Injuries have become a big factor that hold Liverpool back.

Refreshing a squad is a necessary thing to do top high competitive spirit within the team. Last season, Liverpool made a mistake by keeping many the same old players stay around when they actually needed fresh midfielders. There should be a policy with the fact of having injury prones in the team, they should not sign any player who has a bad injury record.

I don't know if it is up to us to be "honest" when we talk about Klopp needing a break. It is up to him, it is his decision. Ferguson was the coach of Manchester United for 28 years in a row or so? Nobody here has probably been "honest" that Ferguson needs a break after 9 years.

It is more about how Klopp loves football and how intense and emotional he is. That is why most people believe that he is probably not going to retire at his age. This discussion came up because he himself said that he doesn't know whether he will return. But it was funny to see that Guardiola said there is no way Klopp will not return because he loves the game too much.

I see it the same way. It is his decision, but I can't imagine Klopp sitting on a couch watching the game for the rest of his life. There will be opportunities where he feels he can't deny it. There is definitely one thing that I am sure he wants to cross off his list and that is being a national coach, favorable for the German team I suppose.

The decision for Klopp to take a break or retire is his to make. Even though he's been compared to managers like Sir Alex Ferguson, who stayed with Manchester United for almost three decades, only shows how  dedicated and passionate coaches like Klopp bring to the game. Klopp's approach to football is well-known, and it is an evidence to his love for the sport.

 Guardiola's view on Klopp's return to coaching after a while only shows random thoughts of fans too who sees Klopp's impact to the game as something effective enough to put him back to the managerial task as time goes. Even though his stepping back from the sport a bit isn't a basic plan yet, thoughts and opinions about his long term affairs arose after  he showed uncertainty about his return.

 Well it really isn't the end of the world still being that he'll still like have national team offers too. We should know that the Liverpool boss has attained a reasonable height already, he has the passion so his next step can only be decided by him and it should definitely be respected too. He'll always and still be remembered for his impact made in the English league too.

No, I think Guardiola's view on Klopp is very different from the view that some fan has. Guardiola knows how the business works, how coaches feel and how exhausting it can sometimes be, but that it is also addictive to them. I am certain that he will return although as I said before it might not be for a club, but for a national team. What happens if Nagelsmann messes up the European Championship with Germany, gets sacked in July or so and they knock on Klopp's door? I am not sure what he would say, but I think this year it might be too early.

Remember that Guardiola took a break for one year and went to New York with his family at a very young age as a coach to take a break. But afterwards he didn't stick to his word again because he once said he doesn't want to spend more than three years at one club. But there you go with Manchester City. Klopp is now going to appreciate what he has built. His wealth, his house in Spain. The guy got a shitload of money, but he understands quite well that there is no point in having money when you are a coach 365 days a year. I think it is a good timing and he still has several years left in the tank.

I'm waiting for Real Madrid to announce the date of Mbappé's debut at the Santiago Bernabeu. Looking at the long-term love story with Kylian Mbappé, we can see how classy Real Madrid is. Even though Mbappé is the brightest talent in the world today, Real Madrid does not recruit the French striker at any cost. As time passed, with the successes "without Mbappé", Real Madrid showed that it was  Mbappé who had to find a way to play for Real Madrid. And as I know, Mbappé even accepted to reduce his salary compared to when he was at PSG. This is considered Real Madrid's cheapest deal.

Barcelona is in a financial mess, so I doubt if they will be able to afford the Colombia international. Luiz Diaz's contract ends in 2027 and Liverpool will be targeting to get as much as $75million. Barca will have to offload some players or raise money from other sources to buy the player. The 27-year-old player has been in super form and I also doubt if Liverpool will let him go. They might increase his pay and make him more comfortable in the club. There is also information from some sports outlets that PSG is also interested in signing Luiz. PSG will be seeking to sign multiple strikers to ensure that the void of Mbappe's departure will be filled.  

That true and indeed Barcelona is in quite difficult condition financially and they will certainly have difficulty if they want to have the option to bring in several players without any sales being made to their players.
It just that in the rumors circulating, it not just Luiz Diaz name that is said to be close to Barcelona purchase option to strengthen the team because there are several names of other players who are their targets.

But I think everything will depend on needs, if the player you are targeting is an important option to really improve Barcelona squad and add maximum playing performance then that must be done and of course there are several ways to make it happen.
Barcelona has several players who are also being targeted by big and rich team, it could help financially if they are willing to let them go or sell them, apart from that, there can be an exchange option and this will save more costs because Barcelona will only pay relatively small amount.

Barcelona which is currently ending their season with the second spot is good performance from them while they are having terrible things around due to their finances but still they are doing good job with for the next season now they are looking for the few new players which are looking not easy for them because if they want to have few good new blood players then firstly they have to sell their few big names which are not already done their job at this club and now need to be gone ahead for their next destination.

Luiz Diaz is in rumours for the possible transfer but most chances Liverpool will be never allow him to leave but in case they have to pay hug amount for him which is surely problem for the Barcelona but still we have to wait few days for the possible outcome of this transfer which is surely good for the Barcelona.

And as I know, Mbappé even accepted to reduce his salary compared to when he was at PSG. This is considered Real Madrid's cheapest deal.

Many are looking forward to that after this season ends sooner or later we will find out about Mbappe's tenure at Real Madrid and Real Madrid will contract Mbappe for the long term because we know Mbappe's performance so far, he is a pretty good striker and Real Madrid got him for free an advantage for Real Madrid, indeed when the club is successful and always wins big titles the players definitely want to join the best club and Real Madrid is the best club in the world so who doesn't want to go to Real Madrid? It is very natural that Mbappe decided to go to Real Madrid even though this club did not buy him because Mbappe is the one who needs Real Madrid to achieve his dream of becoming a superstar player like his idol Cristiano Ronaldo.

Even though at Real Madrid Mbappe doesn't get as big a salary as at PSG, at least at Real Madrid Mbappe can achieve his dream, namely winning the Champions League title which is the dream of many clubs. He has fought quite a long way with PSG to get his dream title but always fails because Mbappe seems to be fighting alone. at PSG, but at Real Madrid he will get colleagues who have equal performance and work together to achieve success.

Real Madrid is certainly looking forward to Mbappe arrival because for the last few years they have failed to bring him in. However, it seems like there will be an imbalance in the Real Madrid squad if Mbappe arrives because there will be two superstars (Vinicius and Mbappe) who will compete to be the best in the squad. It looks like Real Madrid will have to sacrifice one of their strikers to make room for Mbappe, Vinicius is also reportedly wanting to leave Real Madrid as a result of Mbappe arrival.

Modric is working hard to stay at his current club by telling the management if he is willing to stay and get a new short term contract. As reported by romano in his most recent post if modrid has stated that he has been waiting for madrid. he has stated that Modric has informed the club that he wishes to stay for another season and hoping to get a new contract. It indicates that he is extremely loyal to the club and his heart is madrid now. This is more than what he has done to Tottenham. Being able to be a part of Real Madrid is a great opportunity for him considering madrid is on the way to be on the top again like when ronaldo was still there.
Modric is not yet ready to retire from football. This is why he is willing to accept another contract. He has also turned down two lucrative offers from other clubs in order to join Real Madrid. I believe Madrid could even cut his salary and he would be fine with it.

We have yet to see what the Real Madrid decision will be. That being said, Modric should be prepared for the worst-case scenario in which Madrid does not send him a new short-term contract to extend his stay at the club. I agree if he stays for another season.
Even though he was not young, he developed young talent, which is extremely beneficial to Real Madrid's long-term planning.

If I remember correctly, Real Madrid asked Modric to stay in Real Madrid, but he can't play for Croatia national team during his stay. But now it's Modric that asking the team to extend his contract, Croatia without Modric will be in danger, they won't able to achieve anything in EURO 2024.

If Modric demanded to stay in Real Madrid and at the same time he also want to play for Croatia national team, this might be the reason why Real Madrid didn't automatically accept to extend his contract.

Last season, Liverpool made a mistake by keeping many the same old players stay around when they actually needed fresh midfielders. There should be a policy with the fact of having injury prones in the team, they should not sign any player who has a bad injury record.

Of course, injuries are very detrimental obstacle for the team and when player with good quality is injured it causes each team performance to decline quite significantly, but the steps taken by Liverpool must be balanced by bringing in other players as replacements.
This season they performed very well until the end of the season arrived but after remaining few games Liverpool experienced series of problems which required them to suffer decline in performance and lose the opportunity to compete for the title.
I don't know what Liverpool will do in preparation for next season, but what is certain is that I believe they will get rid of players who really don't contribute much and bring in players who are much better, especially considering that there are several core players whose contracts are about to expire.

But personally, I would rate Liverpool as having fairly weak defensive performance, front line was more than enough to be able to break through every opponent defense, but Liverpool defense made several mistakes which gave them gaps to concede.
They do things like this quite often and the defense line is very important part of the strength of football team.

The source named Football Transfers says that Michael Olise is a target for Arsenal, Manchester United and Aston Villa. However in this race I think the Red Devils have a difficult work to do because of not qualifying for the Champions League. 

Olise is only 22 years old now. He has a good future considering his performances so far. This season is his most productive season with 10 goals, 5 assists in 18 Premier League games. He is a great kind of a winger by scoring lots of goals in addition to passes. His current market value is 50 million euros but Crystal Palace would surely demand quite more money for him.

Is there any confirmation on this rumor? To be honest, I can't believe what anyone has said about mbappe and Real Madrid since so many rumors have bee in circulating were fake. enough is enough for this. It's been years, and most of the news is fake. Keep waiting for official confirmation caused by that is the only thing that will tell us about the truth. I strongly believe that the internal agreement has not yet occurred between mbappe and madrid.
Can you identify the party that has been reporting it? It's amazing how many times the majority of the media predicted that Mbappe would come to the real Madrid, but it never happened.

Don't you know about Tuche's story? Tuchel was reported to be fired by Bayern, but the club decided to keep him. The problem is that Tuchle is now deciding to leave the club.
