⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[fadhilz123]

After Karim Benzema left Real Madrid, Real Madrid went without a striker for two seasons, but they have had considerable success without a striker. But now you can't consider Real Madrid as a team without a key sticker because Mbappe will come to Real Madrid this season. I think there are no two finishers like him at the moment. So I think Real Madrid or Real Madrid fans must not worry about their finishers anymore.

In this season where Real Madrid does not have a finisher, many Real Madrid fans are optimistic about winning the title and that has also been proven by Real Madrid this season. This means that the Real Madrid team must still be considered strong as long as they are still coached by Don Carlo Ancelotti even though there is no great finisher in his squad this season because they are still able to trick their opponents into losing in important matches as felt by Dortmund in the Champions League final.

With Conte's interest in Lukaku, This player is currently on loan from The Blues to AS Roma. Lukaku flourished under Conte at Inter Milan. Therefore, I see Chelsea being able to take advantage of this situation to pursue prolific Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. By including Lukaku in the transfer contract, Chelsea can significantly reduce Osimhen's transfer fee. This is a good opportunity for Chelsea to add to their attack. Chelsea should seize this opportunity. Họ vionte at Inter Milan. Therefore, I see Chelsea being able to take advantage of this situation to pursue prolific Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. By including Lukaku in the transfer contract, Chelsea can significantly reduce Osimhen's transfer fee. This is a good opportunity for Chelsea to add to their attack. Chelsea should seize this opportunity. Chelsea can release player Lukaku because he does not contribute to the club but must also pay a high salary.

For this reason Napoli also wants to offer a new deal to Kvaratskelia increasing his salary.

Who wants to pay Haaland's clause because Real Madrid has chosen Mbappe to bring in, but maybe Manchester City wants Haaland to stay despite the high clause.

Last year there is an opinion that Real Madrid has an ambition want to buy Haaland from Manchester City and Mbappe from PSG so Real Madrid want to makes these players will playing together at this team and for Mbappe Real Madrid most likely will gets him this summer because according to the latest rumours is Mbappe have already to signing the contract with Real Madrid and next week Real Madrid will announce Mbappe to the public

About Haaland he was joining with Manchester City since season 2022/2023 and he can able to being an Manchester City top scorer two times in a row in Premier League so it's normal if Manchester City don't want to lost him even Manchester City will attempts to hold this player with give him contract extension but unfortunately Haaland still hasn't respond the extended contract which given by Manchester City and if new contract negotiations reach a deadlocked then not impossible for Real Madrid to take advantage of this situation to realize their ambition and buy Haaland

It was just a good thing that Vini Jnr was in form and was fit enough to feature and even score the deciding goal in the final of the UCL. One could see him calling for the signing of Mbappe and I know clearly that there will be more trophies to win should Mbappe get to join them because this season was already phenomenal with them winning not just the UCL but the la Liga as well and the point difference tells a lot and shows the charisma and team spirit that exist within the team.

It is almost official now that Kylian Mbappe will join Real Madrid for a nice reward €150m over 5 years and €10m annually or something like that, in addition to keeping share from his name. That and Real Madrid ambition to pick the best players from their rivals is still intense.
I don't know if they ever got Haaland is that gonna limit the progression of Vinicius Junior or Jude Bellingham? I don't think Manchester City will let Haaland goes easily and playing with the best team in English Premier League remains a privilege in my opinion, unless he wants to grab UEFA Champions League title, then that will be another story.

Its not too much salary payment paid by Real Madrid after success signing Kylian Mbappe with free transfer and Madrid ever signed him before with offering 200 million euro but failed reach agreement deal. Behind talented of Mbappe its not most expensive salary for him after success winning many trophies and consistent become top scorer for PSG in Ligue 1. I don't have ideas with signing Haaland because Real Madrid recently over full top talented players on attacking line and difficult looking right formation for signing Haaland.

I can't imagine with Real Madrid attacking trio line for next season with possibility Vinicius Jr, Kylian Mbappe and Rodrygo how many goals will score for next season, will they are become the next generation of BBC (Benzema, Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo) who scored many goals in one season for Madrid?

At last, Modric gets a fresh contract extension good for one more season and people's prediction was totally true about this. While I thought it would be beneficial if Kroos stayed but he had the option to retire even earlier at the height of his career and it was really disappointed me considering that how a lot his contribution to the club. That Perez has extended his stay with the team for another season makes me happy. It pleases me much to see Modric still around.

Next season, he will lift the UCL once more. Perez is clearly doing all in his power to make sure this amazing team wins the UCL once more the next season. Madrid is trying for its sixteenth UCL. I find it incredible how dedicated Modric is to this team.

It has turned out to be his wisest move to join Real Madrid after leaving Tottenham.

Real Madrid is the dream club for most of these players, the ones in the club are regarded as best players and they've enchanced the stats of the club, today they're pro because they know the roots of succeeding against opposition accompanied by one of the few genius as headcoach. Real Madrid is fierce to deal with and they've in possession brilliant players that brings about excellent game outcome and winning major trophies. Real Madrid just won their 15th UEFA Champions League title, we've witnessed the retirement of some of the big names in the club and this is probably Luka Modric contract extension was in the picture for Madrid president, Florentino Pérez.

For the first time we hear Fabrizio Romano say "Here We Go" for Mbappe's transfer to Real Madrid and this is the news that Los Blancos fans have been waiting for for years. This transfer saga drama is over and we just have to wait for the official announcement which will be made next week after Real Madrid won the Champions League.

Imagine there are Vinicius, Rodrygo, Bellingham and Mbappe in the same place and I think Real Madrid will still continue to dominate Europe if these players continue to survive for many years. Is it possible that Mbappe's arrival will enable Real Madrid to win the treble for the first time? What is clear is that they have to try to win the CDR trophy first.

Real Madrid won their 15th Champions League title, and now they're adding Kylian Mbappe to the team. They just secured their 15th title and less than 24hours HERE WE GO on Kylian Mbappe, which seems greedy, nah! With Vinicius, Rodrygo, Bellingham, and Mbappe together, Real Madrid's attack will be even more dangerous. Hopefully, Mbappe's arrival won't disrupt the balance. Kylian Mbappe is an electrifying talent, and his addition could help Real Madrid chase their 16th Champions League title.

There is no end to this team always making other teams jealous and what they have done is very difficult for other teams to do. The fun after winning the Champions League title is not over and now they have heard other exciting news that Mbappe will definitely join Real Madrid. There are no appropriate words to describe Los Blancos' situation and all parties are very happy to welcome this news.

Mbappe's arrival will not disturb the atmosphere in the dressing room and what's more, Mbappe is the one who needs Real Madrid so that he won't just go around causing trouble within the team. Moreover, having Ancelotti as coach makes the team atmosphere like a family and that is why the squad of young players always focuses on pursuing titles rather than prioritizing personal matters.

You shouldn't judge Bellingham only in one final match against Dortmund, but look at Bellingham contribution so far when he played in the UCL or La Liga, after all, the two goals he scored, one of which was also an assist from Bellingham, is clear that this is good contribution he made.
In the UCL Bellingham provided 4 goals with 5 assists and for La Liga he provided 19 goals with 6 assists for Real Madrid, isn't this satisfying result, Bellingham has great potential in the future.
But on the other hand, Mbappe will be able to provide much better performance in the future, Mbappe and Bellingham plus Vinicius and Rodrygo can become very strong front line collaboration in destroying the opponent defense.

I want to see if next season Mbappe can get the UCL title in his first season with Real Madrid, this would be very impressive if it could really happen and Mbappe will definitely be very happy and satisfied when he gets it.
But it won't be easy because several other teams will definitely be tough opponents for them, but looking at the conditions next season, the opportunity to defend the UCL title is possible.

As long as Perez is interested in Haland. Real Madrid will always be able to make it happen even though the team will have to pay a lot of money for him to the manchester city in order to buy his release clause. that's pretty much the same like mbappe but getting haaland is just a bit harder than mbappe considering city would not let him leave from the club. If Manchester City is a wealthy team as well, that is the primary issue. Unlike other clubs who have financial difficulties, this one does not urgently need money and city is likely keeping haaland rather than try to sell him for some money.
It sounds like Haland can't travel there right now. Although I don't doubt that Haaland wants to participate in every competition, I believe he will be eager to stay in Manchester City for another season right now.
The previous season's UCL champions were Haaland and City. No need to make this his justification for seeing the actual Madrid. Are you forgetful about that?

Marco Reus looks set to leave for MLS team LA Galaxy. Los Angeles would be a great destination for Reus, who played his last game for Dortmund yesterday. He will continue to play football and live in a beautiful city. I think he made a very logical choice. The level of football there is much lower than in Europe, so his age will not be a problem.

Luka Modric will be at Real Madrid for one more season. Kroos is gone, but Modric continues. Maybe he will stay to win one last Champions League trophy, but I don't think that will be possible. Next year the competition will be much bigger. The CL format has also changed, so it remains to be seen what kind of season it will be.

His love and loyalty for Borrussia Dortmund will always be at the back of my mind forever. It's so disappointing he finally ended this way for him.
Better luck for him in the new phase of his career and life ahead. MLS seems to have a good pay and quite competitive. One last Competition he'll be playing will be the Euro's. So far I would be backing Germany to win this Competition. My hope is Julian Nagelsmann can be a good leader for them players.

Don't underestimate Real Madrid  They could do another back to back to back, when it comes to the Champions League Competition, they have the highest winning mindset and mentality.

I have watched Sesko, and I say he fits into the Arsenal model; he has good pace, is good at scoring with his legs, and is also very good in the air. He is young and can grow with Arteta's team. He is good competition for Kia Havertz.

He'll be a good competition for a player like Gabriel Jesus. Kai Havertz is no striker Jesus Christ!

Though am still skeptical on this news, am not that sure how credible the source  is, but if it's true, them it's actually a very good move for not just Kyler mbape, but also to real madrid, because Kyler mbape has the potential of improving the attacking lineup of any team in the whole wide world, and I really do believe that this particular move is a major step forward in his short glorious career.

And as for the manager carlo ancelotti, I think he is the brain behind the the success in this current real Madrid side, because he has practically united the players and make it as a family, and I also believe that Kyler mbape coming into the team wouldn't disrupt the peace and harmony in the dressing room of real madrid, because carlo ancelotti knows how to manage bigger players, so I don't expect that to be an issue.

It's true, Manchester City will not let Erling Haaland leave the squad easily, they will definitely keep him because he is one of their mainstay players up front. He's still young and he has very good ability up front, so that's a long-term asset for Manchester City. And to me it would be very strange if they wasted Erling Halaand so quickly to sell him.

For me, the squad currently owned by Real Madrid is very strong, especially with the addition of players like Kylian Mbappe, it will fill the void that still exists within Real Madrid. This is a player they have been targeting for a long time, and there was also a lot of drama that occurred when they wanted to bring in this player. From Paris Saint Germain who doesn't want to let go of Mbappe and other dramas that we often hear about. Now we just need to wait for REal Madrid to introduce their newest players for next season.

Before being introduced by Real Madrid, many people had imagined how strong Real Madrid would be next season. So I think that Real Madrid will be much stronger than this season so that there is potential that may not be stopped by other teams in a fairly important League such as the Champions League next season. In addition, I am also quite sure that Kylian Mbappe will not have a hard time adjusting to his new squad next season. Because Ancelotti certainly knows what kind of care to give to Kylian Mbappe.

Haaland has not played as well this season as last season, last season he scored 36 goals in the Premier League, this is a significant difference only 27 goals this seasone, but he still remains the top scorer in the league. Guardiola will definitely not want to let such a player leave the team, and he still says about Haaland that he is the best striker at the moment, so why should he sell him.

On the other hand, I was surprised when I saw that City was interested in Rodrigo, in my opinion, he is not such a good forward, especially for the money that Real wants to get for him. And in my opinion, City is doing well to think about strengthening the attack, but Guardiola is constantly striving for improvement and therefore tries to keep an eye on the best players.

You missed something, Bellingham didn't score a goal but he scored an assist for Vinicius, so statistically Bellingham contribution is very clear. I think this score proves that in the match against Dortmund without this assist, Vinicius would not have scored a goal. Regarding the arrival of Mbappe, this will create more balance. Just imagine that Vini, Bellingham and Rodrygo can win trophies, especially with Mbappe, it makes sense that Real Madrid has a bigger chance next season.

If they transfer Mbappe, the Haaland plan cannot come true this year because it is certain that they will offer a very high contract for Mbappe. Due to Mbappe's contract, they cannot make an astronomical offer to Manchester City and City will not send Haaland. In my opinion, Julian Alvarez could also be a good option for Madrid. Joselu is not very suitable for Madrid.

Just imagine that Vini, Bellingham and Rodrygo can win trophies, especially with Mbappe, it makes sense that Real Madrid has a bigger chance next season.

Bellingham has played a big role in Real Madrid's number of goals this season and in terms of assists even though Jude is not a front player like a striker. Bellingham's huge contribution is known by everyone since arriving from Dortmund. His assist to Vinicius in Real Madrid's second goal further established him as a figure who contributed in the final match.

Mbappe's arrival is good for increasing competition for Real Madrid's front position. But unfortunately Mbappe is not a player who is purely an attacker, but more of a winger. The competition I mean is with Vini and Rodrygo. One of the two will be eliminated if Don Carlo still sticks with the formation used for Real Madrid this season. The most likely to be eliminated is Rodrygo.

AS Roma was grateful for José Mourinho services at the club. Finished managing the top clubs in Europe, time to settled for retirement plans and coach Fenerbahçe. He's one of the top brilliant human on earth when it comes to managerial roles. He knows his roots and will do everything to continue pushing for good games. José Mourinho have totally managed elite teams and we've come to believe him to be a great manager.

They fired him for no apparent cause and this is also questioning me regarding their decision to did it. It suggests they are not even appreciative to the him after all of what jose gave to the roma. Jose Mourinho has decided to join Fenerbahce as their next coach which is good. Roma is not banking on the de Rossi to assist the team qualify for the UCL, but this appears to be difficult given the current squad.
Jose awarded Roma a trophy after a long time. He deserved more than being fired from the club. It suggests Roma has a personal conflict with Jose Mourinho over the decision to fire him.

I've heard that the Roma owner is furious with Mourinho because he is always criticizing his club for being too stingy throughout the transfer season. This was most likely the primary reason Roma fired him for no apparent reason.
Jose Mourinho was doing all possible to keep Roma from becoming a trophy-less club. It was also winning a trophy and making it to the finals several times. Roma has never done this before.

Well to be fair, it is true that they won the conference league, I think inaugural as well, and they did went to finals at Europa one year later, all of which is awesome. However, the league has been terrible for the two and a half years of him being there, they expected more from him on the league and that is why they fired him. He was doing terrible at the league, something like 1.60 or something on games there, which made them think, European competitions are great and all, but if Mourinho keeps being this bad, soon they won't even be eligible for European competitions.

Hence, they fired him to do better at Serie A, and to be fair they did get a lot better after he left, but then gradually started ot be not that great there again.
