⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Pandu Geddon]

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Of course, being a free agent strengthens his hand. Since he is a free agent, teams can transfer him whenever they want. Returning to France would probably be a more logical decision if he wants to play for the French national team on a regular basis. However, from what I understand, he is waiting for an offer from a bigger league. I think he could go to Galatasaray and show himself in the Europa League. Because Galatasaray has built a very good squad this year. Victor Osimhen has also been an important part of this squad. I think Rabiot could also be a valuable part of this squad.

Pep's contract situation is making City fans sweat. Still, let's keep things honest: the man is a legend. He provides everything the supporters yearn for. He is Sir Alex Ferguson of today. Pep is always seeking out the next difficulty. Perhaps he is looking at another league or a national team. That is exactly how he rolls

Should he go, it will be difficult. City will have to act quite seriously if it is to remain on top. They have the tools and the intelligence, though, to accomplish it. They won't fall apart, not this club. Pep is best. Whether he remains or leaves, his legacy at City is solidified

Recent rumors have Real Madrid interested in recruiting Rodri from Manchester City at the end of this season, will Manchester City be willing to release the player? His contract at Manchester City is still quite long until 2027 and he is also a player who is always relied on by Pep Guardiola, this must be a tough choice for him because Real Madrid is also one of the top clubs.
He is also one of the most expensive players recruited by Man City so I think Real Madrid will have to dig deep if they are interested in this player for next season.

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 an important player for Manchester City and Pep Guardiola and I think considering the performance of this player that's normal to see teams like Real Madrid want to send him an offer to hire this player but still Rodri is in Manchester City and I think they will not let this player leave the team easily because they know fining a player to fill his place won't be easy considering the situation they have in Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola is the best manager in the world. If Manchester City loses him, many balances in the Premier League will change. He's a big enough name to influence the whole league... However, we know that there are many managers who have worked with and learned from Pep Guardiola. Xavi, Arteta and Kompany are the clearest examples. I think one of Pep's assistants or Xavi could be a good alternative for Manchester City. They can manage the team for a few years while Pep rests... :)

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.

Since the beginning of this Spanish coach handling Paris Saint-Germain, it was not easy for him. Having changed patterns and systems, in the end Enrique was able to maximize the team he trained. This season, PSG is without Mega Bintang players, but the gameplay applied by Enrique seems to be maximized by PSG players. So, it would be very natural if PSG would extend his contract so that this team is stronger and more solid. Maybe right now their focus is not on the Champions League trophy, but at least they will continue to work hard to perform as well as possible in the most prestigious League competition. Quoting from the report reported by Romano, Enrique was fully involved in this summer's transfer plan and he was even highly rated by the club. It should be like that, the club must involve the coaches in the recruitment plan for the new arrivals needed. PSG is now starting to organize how it should be, the best example is City, a club that is also owned by a businessman from the Middle East.

Losing Rodri will not affect Manchester City performance too much. Pep has a myriad of quality players with equal quality, remember when Gundogan left, was there anything lacking in Manchester City strength? in fact no, Pep Guardiola still makes this club balanced and has won trophies. The reason is, the Manchester City squad has many talents that can be relied on. Therefore, for the same situation if Rodri leaves, this club will still be able to show a balance that is not much different. I admit that Rodri plays an important role but that does not mean that Manchester City performance depends entirely on him.

[coinlocket$]

Everytime there was a club who interested to him Rabiot always asking high salary and this makes those clubs has been withdraw to gets him and last season Rabiot almost moved to Manchester United but when he asking 10 million annual salary Manchester United has decide to stop the negotiation with him even so with AC Milan because actually they were very serious want to hire him but Rabiot has give slow respond to AC Milan and this makes them decide to switching their target to other players instead of Rabiot and he was linked to some of turkish clubs but there was no progress about these rumours and Rabiot has been confirm that he asking 40 million salary for 3 years so those who willing to pay according his demand then Rabiot will choose that club as his next destination

I really don't understand his mentality.
Is it better to skip months and maybe years for the hope to get more money?
What if nobody is whilling to give you the money you want? do you end your carrier just like that?

My personal thought is that he has on hands a good offer maybe from Saudi and he wait until a deadline to see if anyone can match it.

Otherwise it make no sense.

Yes. Pep Guardiola has not made any official announcement about his stay or departure, making "The Citizens" fans somewhat worried. If Pep Guardiola decides not to sign a new deal. Man City must be ready to react strongly. Man City must launch a huge transfer package to support the new coach. They should understand that the new Man City manager will need a lot of financial resources to bring in top recruits for his new empire at the Etihad.

We still don't know which coach will take over the hot seat of The Citizens after Pep Guardiola. But one thing is for sure, Man City's board of directors is also doing everything to keep Pep Guardiola in Manchester after 2025. Hopefully, they can keep Pep Guardiola, to continue to conquer and set legendary records for an extremely successful empire.

Since his contract two months ago has expired with Juventus until now he has not gotten a new club, the high salary demand and also the big bonus are a every obstacle to the club that wants to recruit him, even now Didier Deschamps admitted that he is very confused about the situation faced by one of the best French midfielders but without the club that wants to recruit him now actually makes Didier Deschamps have to remove him from the squad France although in fact France needs him at the moment in the UEFA national league competition, reportedly the salary request that is out of the logic is an initiative of his mother (Veronique Rabiot) who is Rabiot's agent so far and even he has previously rejected a contract extension offer from Juventus with the same salary as before which is 7 million euros,but his mother felt that if Rabiot deserved a bigger salary or at least the second highest salary after Dusan Vlahovic in Serie A, I think what his mother did was crazy for the sake of ambition to earn a lot of money and even she was willing  saw her son currently unemployed.

I think that's the consequence if women are involved in money problems

It is not difficult for him to find a new club because he is still 29 years old, he is also very talented and experienced in European competitions. His status as a free agent gives him the freedom to make his own choices, but he still hopes to play in European competition and playing in the Premier League is his current dream. Although the summer transfer window closed last Friday night, EPL clubs are still allowed to recruit players who are not yet under contract with any club.

The opportunity is still open for him to continue his career as a professional player this season, he must make the right decision if he wants to continue playing regularly in the French team. Manchester United could be his current port, the team led by Ten Hag is experiencing problems in its midfield, Rabiot could be the right choice in Manchester United's midfield after Casemiro performed poorly when they were defeated by Liverpool. Going to the Turkish League or returning to Ligue 1 could also be considered rather than him having to spend this season without a club, Galatasaray is also not too bad for him especially since they will be playing in the Europa League this season.

There were many offers coming from various top European clubs for Adrien Rabiot, but all of them were confirmed to have withdrawn when talks came to salary issues. Adrien Rabiot's side is demanding a high salary from clubs that are interested in him. They are also demanding other bonuses such as recruitment bonuses, all of which are almost 40 million euros. This situation does not benefit Adrien Rabiot at all considering that all clubs have to declare their withdrawal from recruiting him, so the problem lies with Adrien Rabiot and his agent.

The salary requested by Rabiot is estimated at 10 million euros per season. This amount does not include other bonuses they have requested. This doesn't make sense in my opinion and in the end Rabiot probably won't get a single club if he doesn't change his demand for a lower salary.

Actually, his performance was quite good last season and I think he is still at an age where his performance level should not decline too much. But when it comes to money, the things can get complicated. Adrien Rabiot may feel he still deserves that amount of money, whereas many Clubs think otherwise and they don't want to speculate.

Maybe if the transfer window is still available, I think there is one club that might be willing to pay him, and that is Real Madrid because they are currently facing an injury crisis and most of those suffering are midfielders.

I don't think the club can do much to change his mind if if he's truly exhausted like before.

The name of Pep Guardiola will forever be written on the wall of Man City, though he is not the longest-serving manager, he has been the best of all time. I only wish he could wait a little longer to break the record of Wilf Wild who served for almost 15 years, he has all it takes and I possibly don't know why he is rushing when he has it all under control. Although he has spent about 8 years, he needed 7 years more, which is long, notwithstanding, he is good and can achieve that. The issue is that coaches like to quit when the ovation is still very loud but it's a risk worth taking, so he should consider it.

This is certainly not for the money because he has helped Man City increase their relevance and fortunes, it can't be difficult for them to increase his pay again. But if he goes to another club, he might be earning an insane amount because he would be a hotcake in the market, every club would want to have him as a coach.

Pep Guardiola doesn't have to do anything. The club will 100% give him all the time in the world to make his decision, I guarantee you that. What a nonsense that he has to make a decision now. Everyone who knows him more or less also knows that he is usually taking his time and he never lets the media or anyone else push him for a statement, let alone a decision. Manchester City knows that he can't be replaced 1:1 and Guardiola knows it, too. That's the game everyone in the industry is playing when they know they are indispensable. It would only lead to a higher salary for him, but I can imagine that he really is on the fence whether to go on in the same place or not. I am sure he is looking what's going on elsewhere. National team, other big clubs, and maybe a break like Klopp could be possible.

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.

Pep Guardiola's future with Manchester City is in his hands because I don't think the management of City wants to let him just go yet, not as he is hot and have made the team achieve more than could be expected of an English side that only became dominant after Manchester United started going trophy less following the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson.
City will renew his contract to keep him till maybe 2030. Guardiola knows he is the key to Manchester city, and the worth of many players as well as the toughness of the english league, have been higher under his managerial career.

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.

This is certainly unfortunate news for Barcelona. Dani Olmo has been a key performer, and hearing about his serious injury is worrying for both the team and fans. The fact that he will miss training sessions for medical tests only adds to the concern, especially given Barcelona’s existing injury troubles this season. Injuries like this can disrupt momentum, and it’s a difficult situation for any player to face. Hopefully, his injury isn’t severe, and he can recover swiftly, as his presence on the field is crucial for the team moving forward. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!
