⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Conte to Chelsea in this era is the wrong move and that will definitely send Chelsea closer to relegation; the squad is very younge and also expensive; Chelsea needs a good tactician and great manager to manage the squad, nagglesman comes to mind tbh

Conte won’t fit well at all

We have xavi and why does chelsea need naglesmann? it doesn't even make sense to see that considering the fact that if chelsea needs a visioner coach who can develop the young talent. What chelsea needs is xavi. Xavi is jobless now and it will be great if chelsea will try to pursuit him as a new coach for the club.

There are so many great coaches available for chelsea this time. The final decision will be on todd's hand whether he will be willing to recruit him as a new coach.

Why is Xavi in Chelsea? To try to make a second Barcelona with a squad that was assembled by 5 different coaches? This move seems most dubious to me. Both Conte and Nuggelsman would be a good option, but don’t expect miracles from Chelsea - in any case, their ceiling is top 4 next season. If they get there it will be a success.

In my opinion Xavi is not really a terrible coach because with what he achieved at Barcelona despite managing a team that is financially struggling he was still able to lift the La Liga trophy. I also don’t want him at Chelsea but imagine what he would be able to achieve with a team that is financially stable. So with that i think Xavi will go to become a good coach in future.

Of all the coaches you mentioned i don’t see anything special in them, Conte was once our coach and he is known for his defensive strategy and considering the caliber of players in Chelsea i don’t think that style of play would suit them. As for Nuggelsman he is also good but Chelsea needs a coach that would be able to manage these youngsters properly.

Currently Chelsea are in advanced talks with Enzo Maresca the coach who led Leicester City back the premier league again. From his Tactics being analyzed and Leicester City’s current style of play i think he is good tactically and should be able to manage these Chelsea youngsters properly.

[Jatiluhung]

In terms of coaching, we actually don't need to doubt what Conte is doing because even with his seemingly odd and temperamental attitude, he is one of the coaches who is still quite good in this era but indeed we must also be aware that his previous experience at Chelsea with now (if this rumor is true) it cannot be equated.

Conte in the Abramovich Era was given full power including in the squad and management to suit his comfort and for this season I am actually a little worried about what Todd is doing which seems to impose a will that could be a problem in the end. In addition, considerations are also for Chelsea because Conte does not really like long-term contracts and the reason is as I said before where he always does whatever he wants and if what he plans is a bit of a problem he does not hesitate to leave and that should be a consideration because after all this can be a little detrimental to Chelsea if they in one season have to keep changing their coach as has happened in the last 2 seasons.

But I doubt Conte will come to a club that might not give him freedom. because he remembers his character. And speculation about clubs approaching Conte is actually quite varied. It is even reported that Conte will also meet with Napoli. And now the news regarding the new candidate who will replace Pochettino also seems to be quite confusing. But the most popular news is that the candidates are Enzo Maresca from Leicester City and Xavi, who was recently fired from Barcelona. And there is also another name that is rumored to be a candidate for Chelsea's new coach, namely Thomas Frank. But the news about Conte being approached by Chelsea is also quite warm, but this news seems to overlap. Because one report stated that Conte wanted to return to being Chelsea coach, and another news that Chelsea was persuading Conte to return as Chelsea coach.

I also don’t want him at Chelsea but imagine what he would be able to achieve with a team that is financially stable. So with that i think Xavi will go to become a good coach in future.

I don't think that Barcelona is financially struggling or perhaps we don't know them as the media potray them. If Xavi is aware of yhe club financial situation, no way they are going to allow him signed Lewandowski and be earning such amount. He was in his prime in Bayern Munich and a great striker but there are other options available for them to look into but yet he went for that and currently earning highest money in that club.

Currently Chelsea are in advanced talks with Enzo Maresca the coach who led Leicester City back the premier league again. From his Tactics being analyzed and Leicester City’s current style of play i think he is good tactically and should be able to manage these Chelsea youngsters properly.

Maresca was able to brought Leicester City from the sham manager that made them relegated but you think Leicester will come this far to sell Maresca to Chelsea, if they sell him for Chelsea even at expensive price, who will help them maintain the Premier League tournament. It's better he stick to what he knows than been drag in the mud by Chelsea fans.

It was not hidden that they were financially unstable because a lot of players had to go through a paycut in their wages to relief the team a little bit, Lewandowski also had to go through aa pay cut as well and not just the players even Xavi himself had to cut down his wages all for the love he has for the team. He was well aware of their financial condition but the team needed a top class striker after Suarez left and Lewandowski made it clear he wanted to join only Barcelona, when he joined he wasn’t at his prime as you said he was already approaching the ending days of his career. His caliber cannot earn lower than what he earns that’s why he is paid such amount and Barcelona desperately needed his services.

Maresca was able to brought Leicester City from the sham manager that made them relegated but you think Leicester will come this far to sell Maresca to Chelsea, if they sell him for Chelsea even at expensive price, who will help them maintain the Premier League tournament. It's better he stick to what he knows than been drag in the mud by Chelsea fans.

They already gave Chelsea the green light to proceed with talks with the manager’s camp and they are already in advanced talks and the deal is likely to happen very soon.

For the fact that a club is declared financially unstable doesn't mean that the club doesn't have funds to run the club but instead it means that the club cannot afford further expenses outside the ones they are already running within the club so if Barcelona can afford an important player like Robert Lewandowski and can still pay his salary and other entitlement doesn't mean that the club has enough finance and if the media is wrong about the financial state of Barcelona then why didn't the club rise up and debunked it instead of keeping quiet and if you check Barcelona during the time of Lionel Messi you will know that the club wasn't as silent as they are now even though the influence of the Argentine international professional footballer also aided the team but yet Barcelona were financially capable so nothing is hidden under the sun, if Barcelona had enough cash i think they would have made some good signings so the financial status of Barcelona still maintains that the club is lacking funds.

The future of Barcelona is in the hands of the president, Joan Laporta. He's one of the top pillars of the club but his management doesn't seem to be promising as expected, watching Barcelona decline and this have been really one of the unnecessary run for the club. Xavi Hernandez is no terrible coach because he lifted Barcelona from ruins when he got appointed as headcoach. He's this type of manager that would give more opportunities for the young talents because he have strong beliefs in their positive growth.

Great news for Aston Villa fans today the club have signed Unai Emery to a 5 year contract
https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2024/may/27/unai-emery-agrees-new-five-year-contract/
Although the previous agreement was until 2027, but apparently after Aston Villa's historic first Champions League appearance and 4th place in the EPL the management decided to renew and extend the agreement with Unai Emery.
Great decision for both sides, because Emery is just great at coaching average teams and making them successful, as he did before with Sevilla and Villereal, and now with Aston Villa and the club management now has a reliable head coach with whom they can build a strategy for years to come. 

It is true that Aston villa has achieved a great feat with unai emery by getting champions league football, but for me this is not enough reason to grant him a 5 year contract. Not to disregard the coach technical prowess, just what I do feel. The contract seem like a rush

[Stepstowealth]

They already gave Chelsea the green light to proceed with talks with the manager’s camp and they are already in advanced talks and the deal is likely to happen very soon.

I am not quite familiar with this new coach but I know that it is not based on the former record of a coach that will reflect his performance in a new team. A coach can have a wonderful record coming from a club and then when he gets to a club like Chelsea becomes a big flop, we saw that with Graham Potter. The exact thing that Chelsea faithfuls should hope for right now is that the new coach should be a perfect fit for the team just like Unai Emery is a perfect fit for Aston villa because if he is a perfect fit for the team then he can do really well with the young and promising squad that Chelsea has.

Xavi is a good choice for Chelsea also but I haven’t heard any news linking to Chelsea contacting Xavi to be their new coach, not even a rumour about that have I heard. If Xavi can succeed in a team with internal problems and still come out victorious because to me, that position he finished and how far he came in the champions league is marvellous. He has come a long way and I hope he Barcelona would have seen that from him and didn’t allow him to leave so soon.

By the way, he will be a good coach for Chelsea if he joins them, he can manage those young players better into the way that suits his game pattern well. The possibility of that happening now cannot be ascertain because Chelsea are almost on a close deal to sign a new coach rumoured to Leicester City current coach that managed them and brought them back into the premier league after a great season with them.

This is transfer window and we're seeing club recruiting new coaches with potentials. It's amazing how everything worked out so good for some coaches and play out roughly for some. Maresca is coming and I believe him to be one of the promising coaches in the EPL next season. Todd Boehly happens to be one of these owners that quickly runs our of patience and he'd taking decision that's absolutely not suitable for the club side. Chelsea is one of the best club in London but if Todd Boehly continues like this, there are quite important  phases that would affect the club's pattern of play.

This is good point we need to be had this with 2 years or 3 years better because giving 5 years contract is big deal and this can bring some problems for the both parties as well.
There is no doubt things are going pretty interesting into Aston Villa with they are having good end of their last season and chances are high they could be stayed at this level in future as well because they are doing good job and having sources as well which are important for the staying at this level, but now next season could be challenging because we are having few teams are doing their best for having better end and better spot in the future.

This seems to be the plan since the beginning[1]. Based on what I've read, the long-term contract is probably to ward off other clubs from approaching him in the middle of the season, likely because they will have to pay more to get his service. I'm not sure how much the money for breaking the contract is, but it sounds like Villa is confident this new contract will help them establish a longer partnership with him. I'm sure he's doing a good job behind the scenes, hence why the management is confident to reward him with this new contract.

De Bruyne is undoubtedly an important player in Guardiola’s team, but the last season was not the best for him, at first he missed a lot due to injury, and he was unable to return fully, and Guardiola often changed him without allowing him to finish the whole match, that is, this shows that he is not that important for City now, or Guardiola is just trying to show that there are no irreplaceable players in his team. 32 years old is not so young anymore, of course he can play for a few more years, but perhaps he will think about how to ensure a comfortable life, in these few years, as long as he can play.

Kevin de Bruyne is one of the mainstay players for Manchester City, his role in midfield is very pronounced because he can be creative in building attacks. However, he had to suffer an injury and it had a slight effect on his performance, although overall it didn't have much of an impact, but still the decline was felt a little for Manchester City.

I don't know yet if he still wants to play in Europe or if he will spend his time outside Europe and prefer to earn big money at the end of his career. Actually, he is not that old now, he can still give his best game in my opinion. However, if he wants to earn a large income, then the Saudi Pro League will also be an option for him, especially since there are also many players who have joined first. He has to think about this carefully, because when he goes to Arabia and if he wants to go back to Europe I think it will be a little difficult, so he can consider it first.

Currently, De Bruyne is really closely associated with the SPL, for some reason, if this really happens, it is possible that Manchester City will lose very important figure because De Bruyne is player who can always be relied on to break through every opposing team defense.
I consider De Bruyne to be really sharp assist machine for Manchester City and he has helped the front line players lot in creating goals and winning every match.
De Bruyne also has contract that only remains for next season and he has also spent almost 10 season with Manchester City, he has won many titles and various major contributions that De Bruyne has made during his time as part of Manchester City.
I think his departure could be very regrettable thing, but some people also hope that there is still desire for Manchester City to try to keep him and extend his contract and desire for De Bruyne to stay, after all he is not old.

Since Napoli sacked Walter Mazzarri towards the end of this season, Napoli have been closely linked with Conte as their potential coach next season, but it seems that the negotiations that took place between Conte and Napoli did not go well, so reportedly in recent weeks Napoli began to target Gasperini as their future coach next season, Napoli's interest in Gasperini certainly cannot be separated from the success of Atlanta who managed to end the this season with the European League trophy and makes several Italian clubs want to recruit Gasperini next season as their coach including Napoli.

Napoli did not get Conte for several reasons and may also be influenced by the financial level of the club. Conte has been linked with Napoli but without smooth negotiations it will force them to look for other options.
Gasperini is considered a suitable option because he has a good track record at Atalanta which succeeded in winning trophies and if you look further, what Gasperini achieved was not that impressive in previous seasons.

Napoli must improve if they want to compete next season and they must determine a suitable coach in an effort to create solidarity within the team. If not, a season like this will happen again because they don't have a coach who is able to provide a winning share in every match.

Kevin de Bruyne and Mohamed Salah are the main targets of the Saudi Professional League this Summer. These two players will bring more quality and publicity to the league if they are successfully brought there. But they might have to wait for another year if they want to get them at a reduced rate since both players' contracts will expire at the end of next season. Considering de Bruyne's injury-prone nature, City might consider letting him go if he decides to move to the big-money spending league.

Salah has committed himself to Liverpool after the department of Jurgen Klopp and the appointment of Arne Slot. He has promised to work with the new coach to make next season a successful one. So we might see him seeing off his contract and becoming a free agent before moving to the SPL if he wishes. The Saudi Arabian government is doing everything possible to make their local league competitive. They have plans to bring more quality players, invest in infrastructures, and host the World Cup in 2034.

Seeing Napoli's desire to bring in Conte as Napoli's coach next season, it feels like it will fail, because we know that the arrival of Conte, Napoli's manager, is required to buy several players who are technically good according to the coach's game, but it feels very difficult for Napoli because of financial problems, they don't really good, if they release some of their players maybe this will happen to Napoli who want to control Conte.

Gasperin is a very good coach this season with Atalanta, of course he is one of the right candidates for Napoli but it is very difficult for Napoli who want to recruit to the Club, because of his success with Atalanta this season they will play in the Champions match which is certainly a good opportunity to bring his and Atalanta's name to a better level, and if we see that Atalanta is better than Napoli at the moment, of course Gasperin will not leave Atalanta and vice versa with what Gasperin has given to Atalanta, Atalanta's management does not want to part with him.
I think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is quite suitable to handle the Napoli team, Ole is a former Manchester United coach and is very skilled at rebuilding Napoli's reputation which is currently in decline.

It was saddening me how martial is leaving from manchester united as free agent after being treatened like shit by ten hag. He deserves a better club to use his service. It's really saddening me caused by i was not able seeing him play in the main squad at the end of his career in manchester united.
I hope that he will get a good club as soon as possible. Let's see how good martial when he will be playing on his new club. Martial's career has been declining so hard after he was going to the manchester city.

Martial needs to ensure he will get the right place to continue his career like jadon sancho. It will help him to regain his performance again after he has been wasting a lot of time his united to did nothing.
Martial deserves a good place to treat him better than what united did. Good luck martial. You are a good player but you're not in the right place.

[Litzki1990]

Yes as a footballer he has earned a huge amount of money in a short span of his career. Not only does he earn money from PSG but he also has the power to make decisions against PSG's management so we can assume that PSG has given this star the most importance. Mbappé has made a lot of money in a short period of time and he still has his entire career ahead of him, we think he can make a lot more money. No matter how much money Mbappe earns, he has to achieve like the best to make it to the list of the best. What Messi Ronaldo achieved from Europe must be achieved by Messi Ronaldo only then this player can write his name next to the likes of Messi or Ronaldo in terms of respect.

If Mbappe's only priority was money, then he would have achieved an even more lucrative contract from PSG and stayed with the team, but instead he agreed to a lower salary just to be able to play for Real Madrid, because he understands that Real Madrid is an opportunity for him achieve great results in the Champions League, and of course the opportunity to become a champion in another top championship.

Mbappe, at the age of 25, has achieved a very large fortune, but his ambitions force him to move on and change something in his life. Everyone understands that Real Madrid has a much greater chance of winning CL, than any other team, so the choice of Mbappe is quite obvious.

Money has certainly been his number one priority, which is why he has only turned down offers from Real Madrid in the past few seasons. Mbappe is currently in the prime of his career and if he had extended his contract with PSG for money, he would not have had enough time to shine later in his career, which is why he did not turn down Real Madrid's offer this season. He has signed a long-term contract with Real Madrid and will take his career to another level from this Real Madrid. However, Mbappé may not be able to earn the same amount of money as PSG or the amount of money he earned annually for Real Madrid, but he can earn enough for himself every season for Real Madrid.

Martial deserves a good place to treat him better than what united did. Good luck martial. You are a good player but you're not in the right place.

Yes, it's actually true that martial need a new club to resurrect his dieing football career back, but I don't think anyone is to blame here, not even Eric ten hang, because this guy have been injured almost all the time recently, and that automatically makes him unreliable, because he is always not available when he is being needed the most, and the injuries have really affected his form so badly, so my guy, do you expect Eric ten hang to be playing him regularly when he is available and out of form? Or do you expect Eric ten hang to start experimenting with martial when his job is on the line?

These are scenario that happens during his time as a Manchester united player and due to pressure on the manager, you don't expect him to start flavouring him when it's very clear that he is out of form, and greatly unreliable due to injuries,  so what I think is that he just need a change, but I don't think anyone is the cause of his misfortune at Manchester united.

Two years ago, when Aston Villa was coached by Gerrard the team finished 17th and struggled to stay out of the EPL.
In two years, Emery has turned an EPL outsider into one of the strongest teams not only in the English league, but also in Europe.
Aston Villa took 4th place behind only the strongest teams in the world Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool and this despite the fact that the transfer costs of Aston Villa were much less. In addition, Emery led Aston Villa to the Champions League after 42 years! The last time Aston Villa played in the Champions League was 1982.
I think that's more than enough for the Aston Villa management to give Emery that kind of credit and maybe he can build a team that can compete with Manchester City and Arsenal on equal terms.
