⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Zaguru12]

Where Rabiot will play next season?
HE is rumored to have refused several teams including AC MILAN.

He wants a lot of money, probably more than what he got these year and this is translated over 8 mil net per year.

He is a free agent and he can still sign for a team but this is embrarassing.

Rabiot and his mum who doubles as his agent have been always in the news for the wrong reasons whenever it is about the player extending his contract. They had same issue with PSG then and they had to let him leave then they left him leave for free and joined juventus where he constantly had issues too and was even offered to Manchester United when they wanted a replacement for Fred then, according to reports then the deal collapsed due to the demands of his agent/mother and That was when Manchester United introduced Kobbie Mainoo to the squad. Later this summer he was also considered by same Manchester United again for the central midfield role when the Urgate deal was actually proven too hard for them to complete but the player and his agent still didn’t agree with them over the wages and Manchester United finally abandoned his pursuit. Many clubs wouldn’t fancy going for him mainly because of his attitude and also the wages was a barrier too.

Anthony Martial found a club after a long time. He left Manchester United at the end of his contract and after many days, i.e. after 63 days he finally found his destination. But I think he should have gone to Saudi Arabia instead of the Brazilian league.

I don’t think he had any deal from the Saudi pro league as there wasn’t any rumor. This Flamengo is actually a top club in Brazil league and if he gets to have his form Back then he can simply move anywhere he wants.

[imamusma]

If I'm not mistaken, this rumor was heard some time ago, but then this rumor sank again and was only heard for a short time. But this is still a long time, because the rumor is also for the end of this season, so there is still a lot of time to think about it. Because now Real Madrid is closed to bringing in new players and also closed to selling their players, except maybe in the next transfer market. Manchester City is projecting this player for a long time too, so they will definitely think about considering the best to maintain the stability of the team's game. For Rodri himself, he is actually quite lucky because even if Manchester City releases him, he will join another big club.

Rodri is part of Manchester City long term project, I'm pretty sure Pep Guardiola won't let him go to Real Madrid, especially considering Ancelotti squad is a direct competitor for Manchester City in the Champions League. In addition, it is unlikely that the defending Premier League champions will release players in the middle of the season in January, it will disrupt the stability of Manchester City midfield.

This gets interesting because it is imperative that Madrid wants to get in tune with everything, and if they were to take this player from one of the biggest teams in the PL then it would be something Bad for them The good thing is that Madrid has very good players, it has the resources and why not, they want to ensure their team with the best players, so I don't blame them, it is a great investment, they also have a great coach, for me Madrid is the best armed of all the Teams in Europe.

It cannot be denied, for now Real Madrid is the team with the most ideal squad, especially for their attack line, it is natural that they are labeled as the best team in Europe and even the world at this time, besides they also have the status of defending Champions League champions. Florentino Perez will continue to strive to maintain the club's sustainability in the long term, he will continue to hunt for talented players, besides Rodri, Florian Wirtz is also on his radar.

If Madrid could bring in professional players with high quality talent, it would actually be worrying. Behind what we know is only the assumption that Madrid has very perfect players, but there is something bad when all these professional players have their own desires such as selfishness between players.
An example before Mbappe came, Vinic was Madrid reliable finisher and he also had the ambition to score a large number of goals. But now after Mbappe's arrival, there seems to be competition between players to score goals.
Well, in this case having a squad filled with very great players does not always provide the best guarantee. Because there are other things that have a bad impact as I said above.

On the one hand there is some truth to it, because Real Madrid once failed to meet expectations with the first Los Galacticos project, if a manager can't control the ego of the players in the dressing room, it could happen again. But it seems that Real Madrid will succeed this time, considering that Ancelotti has a good understanding of the club and its players. So far Ancelotti is very respected by the players, he is also very experienced in uniting the egos of the players in his squad. Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrygo will work together to support Real Madrid goal productivity this season.

At that time Martial came to Manchester United, he was an hot prospect everyone wanted him, sadly injury woes slowly kill the young lad, I remember when he was trending among new headlines before and after the transfer.
While Flamengo may look backward, showing is career is coming to an end I believe there's hope for him to do well and attract the eyes of European clubs again, remember Willian was still able to secure a move back to EPL even when he went back to  Corinthians, which look as if his career was coming to an end at that time but still keep to Fulham and have a decent stat for his age.

I think the reason Flamengo did go for him was also from the fact that he is quite popular and that will definitely shift the media attention more to them after his signing. Though I hope he can do well and get his career back on track.

Martial is still a good player and the problem has not been his injury, the problem is Manchester United and their manager. No matter which player goes there, it ends badly. The best examples are Maguire or Antony, both were top players before they came to ManU who got into big trouble there. Even CR7 didn't last long at ManU, so you shouldn't look for the problem at the players. As long as the management and the coach don't change, it doesn't matter which players come, ManU will lack success.

Regarding Martial, I heard that he will soon join the Brazilian team Flamengo but with a less than satisfactory price, but it doesn't matter because I don't see any other European team moving forward to recruit him.
So far, many people have said that the injury problems that Martial often experiences are one of the reasons he did not get a contract extension at Manchester United, but Pedro also had the same problem at Flamengo while the Brazilian team reportedly wanted to recruit Martial with the aim of replacing Pedro. This means that I also think that the injury is not the core of the problem of him being released from Manchester United, because it is impossible for Flamengo to recruit a player who has the same problem as their player.
One thing that I am sure of if the issue of Ten Hag's departure happens then there is a big possibility for Manchester United to rise.

Pep Guardiola's contract will end in the summer of 2025 but until now there has been no sign that he wants to extend his service at Manchester City. I wonder if the previous rumors about Pep Guardiola leaving at the end of the season will really happen because the coach has also created a long history with Man City so far, Pep Guardiola must immediately make his decision because finding a coach like him is not easy for the big club.

The club has anticipated that if Pep Guardiola leaves next season, the club will dig deep into its pockets to recruit many star players so that its performance remains stable and does not experience a drastic decline.

[hyudien]

There is bad news for Barcelona, ​​because the player who performed well is reported to have suffered a serious injury, namely Dani Olmo. Of course this is detrimental news for Barcelona if the injury he suffered will take a long time.
He will currently undergo tests and to ensure whether he can recover quickly or not. He will also be absent from the training session because he will undergo a medical test earlier. I hope this is not a fatal injury and he can return quickly. Because Barcelona also has players who have been injured at the beginning of this season. Indeed, injuries are scary things for both players and teams.

I'm sorry, but that's old news. Romano has given the latest update regarding the situation of Olmo's injury. He's not getting a serious injury, and he will be back to play in the next friendly game for Spain.



De La Fuente, Spain's coach, has been confirming it if Olmo is not getting a serious injury. He could get seriously injured if De La Fuente pushes him to play more in the friendly.

And yeah, La Fuente is a criminal 'cause every time Barcelona players come back injured.

[Despairo]

You must be wrong.  

I didn't expect Chelsea make the most income from player sales, but I guess it's a gross income, where they still not count with how much they spend when they bought these players. Chelsea also sell some of their good players for no reason, if Manchester City and Liverpool sell their important players too, they both will overtake Chelsea's position.

The club has anticipated that if Pep Guardiola leaves next season, the club will dig deep into its pockets to recruit many star players so that its performance remains stable and does not experience a drastic decline.

Probably... Klopp? just like a wise man said, if you can't beat them, join them.

[rendravolt]

There have actually been several offers for Rabiot but unfortunately he has yet to decide on it at this time. Previously he was linked with Galatasaray but it seems he chose to reject it and now another offer has come from the Saudi league which we know will still be eager to recruit other former European players including Rabiot.

But if we look at Rabiot's view who still has the desire to play in the top 5 European leagues, we think we should give him a thumbs up. He doesn't want to lower his level of play and is also not tempted by a lot of money. Maybe he is thinking about a career that is still the same as before and also wants to maintain his chances of being called up by the French national team.

Where do you think he will go? It shouldn't be difficult for a team in Ligue 1 to bring him in, especially since he has free agent status and only needs to spend money to pay his salary.

[lizarder]

The most likely scenario - that is my guess - is that if Osimhen plays well for Galatasaray Istanbul, there will be a few big clubs watching out for him during the winter transfer period. Since he has a clause in his contract that he can leave Turkey if the interested club is willing to pay the fixed fee, I guess he will probably be gone by January. There will definitely be at least one club trying to improve their own team due to whatever reasons. Could be their own strikers failing or injuries.

That could be the scenario he is hoping for and playing at Galatasaray will give him the chance to be watched by other European clubs. But that strategy also depends on how good he is at Galatasaray and if he fails to show good results he will lose the chance to play for a better club next season. Osimhen's situation is too complicated and he should be willing to lower his ego a little regarding his salary so that it doesn't happen like this.

Let's just see how he continues in the upcoming transfer window and we hope he finds a club where he can play more consistently to improve his quality. If he fails, it is feared that his name will become increasingly dim and no club will be willing to recruit him considering that his salary is too high.

No competition for him anymore therefore he has to be tire of managing Manchester city. Manchester city has won the title in almost all the years that Pep Guardiola has been the coach of the club. He has back to back titles and might also win again this season. Pep Guardiola likes challenges and he might want to go to other league or go to coach for a country. If he does not renew his contract he did nothing wrong but unless if he still have unfinished business in the champions league because that is where he has not dominated that much and it surprises me because I thought he would had won the champions league more than one time with his strong squad. Pep Guardiola has to make history in the champions league with Manchester city or his legacy will not be complete.

Real Madrid is keeping an eye on the 23 years old Arsenal defender William Saliba for the next summer move:
 
Here is the thing Real Madrid's current defenders are just getting older, and Real Madrid needs to bring up a replacement for them. Antonio Rudiger is 31 years okd, despite David Alaba is more than 32 years old, and Nacho left the club for Saudi Arabia side. So looking forward they are going to sign the replacement for them and the replacement is Arsenal center back William Saliba. 
 
William Saliba is considered one of the best defenders in Primer League. He won PFA Team of the Year twice back to back in two seasons with Arsenal and is the pair of center backs with Gabriel Magalhaes in the heart of the Arsenal defense and only let only a few goals to concede in the entire season which is quite impressive...
 
So this remarkable performance forced Real Madrid to attract and now they want to make William Saliba a part of their defense. William Saliba's current market value is £67.5m. What do you guys think, should Arsenal demand Saliba's £67.5m value or more? Express your opinion.

I don't understand why there are no big teams interested with Rabiot even though his perform in Juventus is still pretty well. It doesn't need to be popular teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid etc, but mediocre teams in top 5 European leagues is fine, even De Gea don't mind to join Fiorentina.

Since he's old, I think he high likely will stay in Serie A again, maybe Roma or Milan.

Will Anthony Martial's career end soon? because he is rumored to be signing a contract with a Brazilian team, Flamengo. Honestly, it was a bad end to his career and after leaving Manchester United, it seems that no European club wants to recruit him. His status is still without a club and that should be used well for any team that wants to bring him in, but on the other hand, the problem of frequent injuries cannot be tolerated and maybe that is one of the reasons that cannot be accepted by any club.

He is still 28 years old and that should be a fairly productive age for a striker, but over the past few years we know he has only spent a lot of time on the bench so it is difficult for him to show his quality. I think Anthony Martial is not as lucky as expected and we can see him very well when he was at Monaco and in his first year at Manchester United.

It seemed not so long ago Manchester United gave 70 million euros for Marcial and offered a 5-year contract, because at that time Marcial was a great hope, but now as you rightly pointed out in his 28 years he is not needed by anyone in Europe.
It is strange that he was offered to play in Brazil considering that Marcial is a rather “fragile” player who gets injured, and the Brazilian championship will not feel sorry for him and although Flamenco most likely wants to sign him instead of Pedro Abreu, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury and is out for the rest of the season, but it may happen that Marcial will be on the injured list with him, considering what a “fragile” player he is.

At that time Martial came to Manchester United, he was an hot prospect everyone wanted him, sadly injury woes slowly kill the young lad, I remember when he was trending among new headlines before and after the transfer.
While Flamengo may look backward, showing is career is coming to an end I believe there's hope for him to do well and attract the eyes of European clubs again, remember Willian was still able to secure a move back to EPL even when he went back to  Corinthians, which look as if his career was coming to an end at that time but still keep to Fulham and have a decent stat for his age.

I think the reason Flamengo did go for him was also from the fact that he is quite popular and that will definitely shift the media attention more to them after his signing. Though I hope he can do well and get his career back on track.

Of course, Marcial showed promise when he played in Monaco, but still to give 70 million for a player with 1 great season and now it is a lot, and 9 years ago it was just a fantastic amount and this was even before PSG bought Neymar for 200 million. Besides, Manchester United paid a huge salary to Marcial for 9 years and I assume the full amount that Marcial cost United about 150-200 million dollars and you can imagine how many players of their academy United could bring up on this money.
Willian is a much more injury resistant player and he has played everywhere he has been invited to, he even played in the Russian league under Guus Hidink and then came back to Chelsea and while the rest of the players were trying to sack Mourinho with their poor play, Willian had one of his best seasons.
By the way, recently Fulham let Willian go and he moved to Olympiacos as a free agent, but Willian is already 36 years old and Marcial is only 28.

The club has anticipated that if Pep Guardiola leaves next season, the club will dig deep into its pockets to recruit many star players so that its performance remains stable and does not experience a drastic decline.

What is clear is that Man City does not want to lose Pep Guardiola quickly, even the club will do everything to keep him. As for Pep Guardiola, he is free to leave after all he has given to the club. Pep always wants to get a new challenge, he is an adventurous figure and wants to start over from zero. Regarding his contract, this is a time that Man City can use to find a replacement, but no matter how good the replacement coach is, Pep Guardiola cannot be replaced and will always feel different after being in the hands of another.

[len01]

It seems that this time Nasser Al-Khelaifi has begun to realize that retaining a coach is one way to be able to pursue prestigious titles such as competing competitively in the UCL. It is proven that Enrique was able to convince the PSG president to extend his contract. I think there is a good plan that Enrique will do. Then, do you know what Enrique plan is this season?

IMO, it seems that Enrique has a plan to build the squad performance without relying on a few players but all players will be trained to provide solid cooperation. Enrique will build all of that slowly and try to get a record in the UCL in the future.

According to Marca, Manchester City is preparing to make a contract extension with Erling Haaland. 

https://www.marca.com/futbol/futbol-internacional/2024/09/07/66db20b3e2704e6e398b45a2.html

His contract is already ending in 2027 so there are still three more years. However I think the reason might be to remove that "secret" release clause condition from his contract.

As far as I can remember, he has a release clause dropping down in value by every year. Maybe it is around 180 million euros now. Guardiola likes Haaland a lot and he would never like to lose him so early.

the existence of the release clause provision that may be targeted by Madrid who have been rumored to be very interested in bringing in Haaland and allowing him to play with Mbappe on one team. it is unimaginable if Madrid has Vinicius, Mbappe, and Haaland in their attack line.

unfortunately with the extension of Haaland, Madrid had to bury his intentions. because Man City wants Haaland to spend the golden period of his career at Man City. rumor has it they will increase his salary and will even become the highest paid player at Man City replacing Kevin De Bruyne.

the possibility of pep retiring at man city is very high but if he will be doing that at the end of this season is what's deficult to tell. If he doesn't wants to extend his contract at the end of the 2025 summer when this contract might have expired, it's going to affect the club negatively to a very large extent. One thing about the relationship between man city and pep is that most likely, the likes of KDB and halland are not considering going into a new club because of the fact that pep is still the one in charge of the club. Once he leaves the club and a replacement isn't as effective as pep is which is reality isn't an easy thing to see, the club will suffer for it and I doubt they are ready to take that route at this time they've stood top among the teams in the EPL. For me, pep is still 53 and at that age, he still has a lot to do for the club he's found love with. Carlo Ancelotti is quite older than him and has sticked with Madrid and his still and even if Ancelotti chooses to retire after the expiration of his contract at 65 years, pep still have the time and the squared that will bottle the EPL and champions league to become the property of man city.

I think Manchester City will continue with Pep Guardiola. Guardiola is the most important part of the current Manchester City. Players can be the most important part of a team, but if you are Guardiola, you can be the best part of the team. His technical knowledge is amazing. His analysis of the opponent is great. Also Manchester City achieved a lot of success during this period. He adapted the team to go on for many years without any problems. He made all the players fit together. I think the management will extend his contract.

[joniboini]

I think the management will extend his contract.

I believe the decision lies on Guardiola's hand. I mean there are history of him leaving successful clubs like Barca after he wins so many trophies, and I doubt money is the issue. I also heard that some players more or less said that this season is their last dance together with him. Not sure if that's what they explicitly told us, but many journalist to report the same thing. I don't think the club can do much to change his mind if if he's truly exhausted like before.
