⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Adams0001]

It seems like Luis Diaz is a target for not only Barcelona but also Saudi teams according to recent rumours. Do you think he would really think of leaving for money and join a Saudi team at the age of 27 already? 

I mean he isn't an average player. He is one of the really valuable players at Liverpool. I assume he wouldn't like to throw away his career by joining such team so early. He can still join those teams for money in the future but there is no need for rush. For example Saint-Maximin has left for money while he is still only 26. His salary was 4.2 million euros at Newcastle and now he is earning 11.7 million a year. He was also a rising player and I think he should have also waited for such move. 

Luis Diaz has been a transfer target from several clubs at the moment but it seems that Liverpool will not try to release Luiz Diaz if not at a high price, coming at a price of 50 million euros from Benfica but now Liverpool set a price of almost 130 million euros for the team that wants to sign him, Luis Diaz performance in Liverpool is actually quite good and of course that's why Liverpool will only want to release at a high price, that may be there is some interest from the Saudi Arabian team, but I think Luis Diaz will certainly not try to risk his career and his age in a league that is not at all competitive at the moment.

Luis Diaz age is still very young and of course his career and also the achievement of trophies will be the main target for him now, there is still a lot of time for Luis Diaz to achieve all the wealth and money later by going to Arabia, but now so indeed the most important thing for Luis Diaz now is to win prestigious trophies so that when he retires of course there will be pride in him.

I don't want Luiz Diaz to leave Liverpool now since is helping the club is doing good and am sure he will still do well next season with the squad. If Diaz move to Saudi league i will sy he as finish is career in football because is still young player and some big team will like to sign him next season if he can do is best at Liverpool next season because is just that Klopp don't like putting him he some tough matches is not in top 11 in the club. And now that Klopp claims he will leave the club after the end of the season, who will Liverpool recruit to the squad after he departed the club, or he has opted to the club or he as decided to stay for another season or not because have not hear any news about him yet.

If Liverpool wants to sign a key player and let Diaz go, that is OK but I would like him to move to another league rather than the Saudi league he should still play in the European league. However, I see some players moving to the Saudi league because they do not want to play difficult games, and everyone in the Saudi league is losing fans because not everyone is watching the game.

This is better news than him joining the Saudi Pro League considering that fenerbahce is still having a chane to go to the UCL. Jose Mourinho has been jobless since Roma fired him and it sounds non sense so many big clubs were not targeting him. He is not receiving a fresh offer from Fenerbache. This deal will be valid until 2026. I'm glad to see him back in football after being jobless for a few months and i miss him with his boring football. The special one if back again

I also hope that Fenerbahçe will be able to qualify for the UCL again next season. We may also be able to see Mourinho's face at UCL. This is great news for all of the Mourinho followers.

The deal is practically complete. I'm expecting a new update from Romano in the next days on this.

Previously heard that Chelsea was linked with Kieran McKenna after Pochettino was fired. But now Kieran McKenna has made a firm decision to stay in Ipwich which he is fighting to qualify for the Premier League of course this is not an easy matter with this success there must be many offers that come in contrast to Kompany when he failed he got a special offer. Hahaha

A few big clubs were actually interested in this coach. we all understand why. He has been able to show good performance with a club that we generally do not expect to bring in good results. And I am not trying to belittle Ipswich Town. But I think hardly anybody expected such a performance from them. Of course, credit were given to the coach. it is also good to see that the coach is not afraid to take on big responsibilities and challenges with smaller teams when many others would have taken up the job of Chelsea.

That is now Kieran McKenna's challenge not to avoid relegation next season,

I think you meant to say “to avoid relegation”. If so yes I agree. That is going to be the biggest challenge for him. But I’m not going to be surprised if he finishes towards the lower middle of the table and not just somehow avoid the relegation

Regarding from skysports, Jose Mourinho reach agreement deal with Turkish Super Lig team Fenerbahce sign two years contract, its time for him return to be manager after sacking by AS Roma last season. Its close rumor Jose Mourinho will return to be Manchester United manager and he will make challenge for Turkish Super Lig team after failure become the winner last season.

Fenerbahce performed last season not really bad success reaching 99 points in domestic league but loss from rival team Galatasaray behind two points remaining, in Fenerbahce Jose Mourinho have several top European players from Edin Dzeko, Leonardo Bonucci and will reunion with Chengiz Under as his former player in Roma.

Rodrygo, Mbappe will take your position soon and you must think about that. It's the right time for you to join Manchester City and play for one of strongest club in the world beside real madrid. The city is inviting to you to come since you will have no place in the main squad. It's the finest time to play under one of the best coaches besides Ancellotti. Guardiola is waiting for you. City is currently attempting to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid following the recent news that Real Madrid will announce Mbappe as a new player before euro 2024.  Im hoping he will able to join in the manchester city as one of most potential club in the EPL and growth together with city.
Rodrygo was frequently used as a right winger in real madrid but Mbappe is also capable of filling that role. Vini has been on his position as a left winger. Ancellotti may have little choice but to rotate Rodrygo for Mbappe in order to secure a berth in the main team and so, mbappe and rodrygo can have enough time to play in the main squad of manchester city.

It should be Mbappe will take Vini's position instead of Rodrygo, both Mbappe and Vini played in the same position. Ancelotti need to rotate either Vini or Mbappe to play on right wing position. Even Ancelotti want to play without striker, but it's a big loss if he want to sell Rodrygo, any player is prone to injury and Rodrygo is one of best super sub.

When Benzema was still playing for Real Madrid, Real Madrid always use 4-3-3 strategy, so all of them should able to play in their own positions.

[Fausto Arta]

Considering how much Arsenal have spent on transfers in previous seasons, they would definitely like to see results from their investment, but Arteta has yet to win a single tournament. I understand that it is very close, and the team looks great, but they were good in the Premier League, in the Champions League they played frankly poorly. And now Arteta will not be able to get approval for new transfers so easily, now he will have to prove that he can win titles.

Arteta actually has many great players, but what Arsenal doesn't have is a pure striker who is hungry for goals. Therefore in big competitions like UCL it cannot be maximized properly. Just look at the composition of Arsenal squad, all of them have similar abilities, not far from those of Manchester City, but the difference is that Manchester City has Haaland as a pure striker while Arsenal doesn't. If Arteta intends to sell several players in the upcoming transfer market, he needs to target 1 player with goal ambition. Arteta building squad principles still refer to Pep Guardiola principles, but it is the striker thing that makes Arsenal unable to keep up with their rivals.

Because Arsenal lost a sharp striker in the last two seasons. I believe this factor is an obstacle to the London Cannon failing to become champions of the Premier League. Arsenal reportedly want to hunt for a new striker. Benjamin Sesko is rumored to be the Gunners' main target in the transfer market this summer. It is certain that Arsenal will have to prepare large funds to recruit Sesko from RB Leipzig. Apart from Sesko, Arsenal is also targeting Marcus Rashford from Manchester United. Reportedly, manager Mikel Arteta also likes Rashford's game and could be a solution to become Arsenal's goal machine next season. Will Rashford return to being a goal-hungry striker under Arteta's direction, because at Manchester United Rashford rarely gets the trust of Eric Tan Hag.

[slapper]

Let's put aside Lukaku age for now, because statistically the comparison of his goal productivity with Osimhen is not much different where Lukaku in the 2013/24 Serie A season in 32 matches bagged 13 goals and 33 assists while Osimhen in the 2023/24 Serie A season in his 25 matches with Napoli bagged 15 goal and 3 assists.

However, releasing Osimhen from Napoli was a very inappropriate decision, because so far Osimhen role has been very vital as the spearhead of the attack. Although I admit that last season Napoli was better because they managed to win the title, while this season dropping to 10th position shows bad results.
The reason is that Conte has a point of view that is often annoying, so if he becomes Napoli coach, Osimhen career could be threatened.

Releasing Victor Osimhen and having new striker is normal as we are now having new coach at the Napoli after having worst end of the season which bring too much decline in quality and having no consistency after winning title with this all happen due to management level mistake which bring serious trouble and team gone in deep trouble after this all, but now they are working to bring back themselves at the better spot which they deserve in Serie A.

Antonio Conte and Romelu Lukaku have good relationship while these both already work and achieve better results, so things can take good change here as well. Romelu Lukaku is having good depth in last few seasons with he can shine under Conte here at the Napoli which could be good for them because we can expect better results and improved performance which is also important for them for having success.

Lukaku instead of Osimhen? That's serious gambling talk. Osimhen has been a wild card, causing drama. The man has raw talent, no doubt. Goal-scoring machine. Lukaku is a solid player, though. But he's getting older; is he Napoli's future? Not sure. Kvaratskhelia may also leave. Two important players left in one window. A major void will be left in the team. No argument. Conte is a great coach. His past with Lukaku shows he loves him. Is it right for Napoli? Is it better for building a winning team? The huge question

His salary was 4.2 million euros at Newcastle and now he is earning 11.7 million a year. He was also a rising player and I think he should have also waited for such move. 

In my opinion there is nothing wrong with the Saudi Pro league, if you follow the Saudi league they are very competitive since the arrival of European stars there and have made the Saudi league even more respected at the moment, Luis Diaz has very good potential but there is nothing wrong with him if he wants to try to Saudi Pro League, especially since the fees he gets there are quite a lot and Luis Diaz can collect it all.

Currently quite a lot of players in Europe are interested in the costs they will incur if they go to Saudi, and this is an opportunity for Luis Diaz to develop his abilities there, because we know that Saudi Pro is currently very developed in terms of the competitive teams there, and of course the players Players who go to Saudi Pro will have a guaranteed future because the pay they get there is truly extraordinary.

This is what am getting confused at, why would Bayern Munich go for Vincent Kompany when there is a more experience Jose mourinho, why is the special one not been considered by the top European finest clubs, or could it be because of his usual controversial nature, or could it be about his tactical formations lately, but then i know he was able to win the Europa conference cup for Roma, a feet they haven't reached for a long time before then. Fenerbache is not bad one for the special one, let's just hope he can rebuild his reputation again. Though he is one man that is full of drama, and the media like taking advantage of that.

[lizarder]

Rashford is a reliable player on the wing but I think he is not what Arteta needs next season, Arteta should indeed focus more on players who are still able to maintain their performance consistently while Rashford in my opinion is not included in the right criteria, besides from wing attackers, Arsenal should be able to find a central striker who is really sharp enough to replace the role of Gabriel Jesus who this season is not optimal at all.

The contribution of the front players is much better than the defense and in my opinion they have to improve the defense so that Arsenal will be stronger next season. Two seasons of losing the opportunity to win the Premier League and this must be an evaluation material for Arteta so that this does not happen again next season. Arteta has slowly succeeded in making Arsenal one of the strongest teams in the Premier League, but they are still too weak to maintain their chances of winning the Premier League.

Rashford's declining performance was the result of being forced to play too much and actually this happened because Erik Ten Hak always changed his playing position. Compared to buying a winger, I would rather buy a player like you said because Gabriel Jesus has made no real contribution to Arsenal this season.

what a disappointment for Mou's career, after winning the Champsion with Inter his career has reached its peak and now he has agreed to coach a team in Turkey, Fenerbahce.

This happens when the coaches don't update themselves, the same thing happened to Allegri.

Also confirmed by the fact that De Rossi had a great season with Roma after the dismissal of the Portuguese coach.

[Slow death]

When I read this news:

José Mourinho has just signed the contract as Fenerbahçe manager

After verbal agreement reached in the morning, José Mourinho has approved the documents few mins ago.

The contract will be valid until June 2026, two years.

I was thinking: in recent times, Mourinho has had the misfortune of coaching teams in problematic situations where the managers are eager to win titles and not long-term work, so when the team doesn't have a good result, the team's management will immediately fire him. the mourinho. In my opinion, Fenerbahce is a good team, they have constantly managed to finish in second place in the Turkish league. I suppose Fenerbahce's management hired Mourinho with the aim of winning the Turkish league next season

but the question will be whether Fenerbahce's management will have the patience and funds to make some changes to the squad and whether they will have patience when the team fails to achieve anything next season, because it takes time for a coach to be able to make good changes in the team and for the team to achieve titles. In this case of Mourinho, I would say that next season would be a season for him to get used to the Turkish league and study the squad and all the teams well and in the following season he would be able to win the league.

Mourinho was looking forward to managing a team again. He could have already joined a Saudi team but he didn't. He wanted to manage a European team. I was expecting that team to be in one of top leagues but I was surprised with the news. Fenerbahçe officials must have made a big effort to convince him. It is rumoured he is going to earn 40 million euros a year but not an official statement as far as I can see.

I agree. Mourinho also doesn't want to catch up with today's football much. He just wants to continue to apply his usual system to the team he goes to. I won't be surprised if I see the same thing in the Turkish league as well. But maybe at least he might make Fenerbahçe champions after 10 years.

When Benzema was still playing for Real Madrid, Real Madrid always use 4-3-3 strategy, so all of them should able to play in their own positions.

I was expecting Ancelotti to use them both in the team since Mbappe can play several position in the wing just as he used to rotate last season when Messi and Neymar jr was playing for PSG.

Now, if Ancelotti have to sell one, they it shouldn't be Vinicius Jr because he is very good in his position and Mbappe can play from the right, but since Madrid did not a reliable top 9 since Benzema left them, I think they should be playing Mbappe as forced 9 since he knows how to score goals.

On the other hand, looking at how Madrid do treat players once they have someone better than them, I will advice Rodygo to leave for either Manchester City of PSG since both of them are good and are all winning trophies, since he has win several trophies for Madrid.

I hear the Conte and Lukaku optimism, but don't get carried away. Their past collaboration doesnt guarantee success at Napoli. Lukaku has had his moments, but can he regularly score Napoli's goals? Osimhen showed great potential despite his circumstances. It seems shortsighted to dump him after one bad season.

I think Napoli could utilize Osimhen's transfer money, but sacrificing long-term potential for a rapid financial injection is risky. Also, Chelsea may not want to sell Lukaku. If they do, he'll be expensive. Before making a hasty decision they may regret, Napoli should consider all options.

His salary was 4.2 million euros at Newcastle and now he is earning 11.7 million a year. He was also a rising player and I think he should have also waited for such move. 

I think Luis Diaz will stay with Liverpool and Arne Slot also seems to want him to stay in order to maintain Liverpool's stability up front. Mo Salah leaves, Nunez cannot be relied on but hopefully under the tutelage of coach Arne Slot his abilities can further develop. Gakpo is still looking for his identity at Liverpool and this season his role has not been visible at all. Regarding the Saudi Arabian club, it is still too early for Luis Diaz, he still has a long career in Europe and if he is available in the transfer market, big clubs will immediately sign him.

Rodrygo was frequently used as a right winger in real madrid but Mbappe is also capable of filling that role. Vini has been on his position as a left winger. Ancellotti may have little choice but to rotate Rodrygo for Mbappe in order to secure a berth in the main team and so, mbappe and rodrygo can have enough time to play in the main squad of manchester city.

Mbappe in the UCL matches against Barcelona and Dortmund occupies a central position even though he is purely a left specialist, so I am not worried about the rotation of Real Madrid players because Rodrygo will not be threatened. That way it all comes back to Ancelotti who really understands how to rotate players, everything can be adjusted.

I don't know what makes Conte still very interested in Lukaku, so he specifically included Lukaku as a player that must be obtained by Napoli when he takes over Napoli next season, Conte specifically asked De Laurentiis to buy Lukaku and also several other players who have been coached by Conte so far, Lukaku quality and sharpness in scoring goals of course we never doubt because so far Lukaku is famous as a striker And also a pretty dangerous finisher in front of goal, but as you said of course Lukaku golden era may be is over at this time and that's why Chelsea are currently continuing to loan him to other teams in addition because his high salary.

This season Lukaku played for Roma and he was even played as a substitute so far by De Rossi, so I think indeed Lukaku performance and sharpness have declined at the moment, reportedly Lukaku is currently Napoli's main target and even Napoli are ready to lose Osimhen provided they can get Lukaku next season, reportedly Chelsea pegged Lukaku at a price of 38 million euros,  While Osimhen has a release clause that reaches 130 million euros, Napoli are willing to sell Osimhen to Chelsea on condition of paying 90 million euros + Lukaku.

How crazy is that? 5 hours ago Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Mourinho has signed a contract with Fenerbahce until 2026. I would never have believed that Mourinho would move to the turkish league when so many top clubs in Europe are looking for a coach! The coming season will be very exciting again. I give Mourinho a very good chance of winning the league title and he will certainly make it far in Europe too. The Turkish league is getting better and better every year.

[FanEagle]

I do not think that Arsenal should look into attacking position, they are great there, I would say that defense would be a lot more important right now, would definitely allow them to get better. In reality, Arsenal do not even "need" anything to win, they are going to be a great team, they need City to be worse. If you ask me Arsenal played a great game and we have seen them do a lot better and I think that is going to end up with something that will be much better.

We should consider how to get better with time, but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with a much better situation. In the end, we should consider how to get better, and that means we are going to be able to afford a lot better results for sure. Arsenal just needs to be patient.

I give Mourinho a very good chance of winning the league title and he will certainly make it far in Europe too. The Turkish league is getting better and better every year.

I think Mourinho has no other choice but to accept Fenerbahce's offer and maybe that is one team that will accept his services as coach. The reason is that since being fired by Roma in the middle of the current season, not a single rumor pointing to him is true. Like he will return to being Manchester United coach if Erik Ten Hag is fired, but it seems like that is just a rumor made up by the media.

This is only temporary for Mourinho to be a coach outside the top 5 European leagues and after his contract ends with Fenerbahce or even if it is not finished if there is a much better offer from a top European team, I think he will immediately leave Fenerbahce again. But the most important thing now is that he will not lose his soul as a coach and winning the title with Fenerbahce is not bad.
