⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

What if Pogba is recruited by Madrid?

Let's try to assume a little about the return of Paul Pogba whose presence was not very well received by Juventus, especially after the club was handled by Thiago Motta plus Juventus is not in a bad performance condition. They have stabilized with their ideal squad and Thiago Motta seems focused on future players. Apart from Pogba's attitude, I don't care and hopefully during his sanction he can learn to be better. But if you look at his figure as a midfielder, you could say he is quite creative and for now the club that needs a midfielder the most is Madrid.

What if Madrid is interested in Pogba, considering that before being sanctioned, rumors of Madrid's interest in Pogba were quite intense at that time.

There's nothing wrong with buying Pogba because Juventus has a great chance of selling him next January. In my opinion Madrid is in need of creative players. Modric can't work alone and some young players still need to learn a lot. With Pogba, he will definitely make a real contribution. I know he is often injured but when it comes to Real Madrid's health management, at least Pogba can be better monitored.

I also thought so, hmmm why not if he can be a difference maker in midfield. Based on Fabrizio post, Juventus is more inclined to immediately terminate the contract. Madrid must take advantage of the situation, it could even be an answer to the instability in the midfield position. In addition Madrid is looking to bring in new CB and RB in the coming winter, it is possible that they will monitor Pogba. He is a fairly senior player although as a short-term option he still feels very capable.

As a Liverpool fans actually i don't want to see Alexander-Arnold moved from Liverpool especially he came from Liverpool Football Academy so he was playing with Liverpool since at junior team besides that Liverpool currently is very solid and Alexander-Arnold as part of Arne Slot plan but apparently Liverpool has no plan to give him contract extension which mean possibly Alexander-Arnold will be leave with free transfer status and since last summer actually Alexander-Arnold was linked to Real Madrid especially Jude Bellingham which Alexander-Arnold close friend has been invite him to joining with this team

Of course, releasing Alexander Arnold is a loss for Liverpool, but currently he has not renewed his contract which will expire in January next year. So the possibility is still unclear, but Madrid will definitely look for a replacement for Carvalaj. Of course, Ancelotti has to wait for the winter market to open, maybe an alternative can also be taken from Real Madrid's young players. Of course, they have to use the players they have at the moment and make the player collectivity better and minimize injuries. Another problem, indeed Madrid was not very active in the last transfer season.

When a player has not extended his contract, it means that he is still wide open to leave the club. Those interested in Alexander Arnold are not ordinary clubs, they are big clubs that are even the most successful clubs in the Champions League, that will certainly make Arnold consider whether he will stay or not if Liverpool offers him a contract extension. On the one hand, Liverpool is also a big club, so it will be quite difficult for him to make a decision. However, at this time I have not heard that Real Madrid is serious about approaching him, the rumors circulating only say that they are interested in this player. And now we also have to wait until the transfer window opens. However, Real Madrid could make a quiet move.

Yes, the contract negotiations between Trent Alexander-Arnold and The Kop have not progressed much. That raised concerns among many fans of the Anfield home team. Not long ago, he affirmed that his biggest wish in his career was to win major titles. Real Madrid could be the perfect destination for Alexander-Arnold if he leaves Anfield. Los Blancos needs a quality right-back as Dani Carvajal shows signs of age and injury. And Los Blancos can provide him with trophies.
Liverpool losing Alexander-Arnold after this season ends is a completely possible prospect. Certainly, this is a big loss for The Kop. Alexander-Arnold's influence on Liverpool's style of play over the years has been huge. However, The Kop can still look for new names to replace. It wouldn't be a disaster if Alexander-Arnold left Liverpool at the end of this season.

For some reason, I have thought that Real Madrid had a skilled negotiator, and it could be that Alexander-Arnold would be like Mbappe. We all know for sure why Mbappe doesn't want to extend his contract with PSG. Even though at that time there was no official statement that he would join Real Madrid, but it's pretty predictable that he'll be there when his contract runs out.

Real Madrid has also shown quite strong interest in Alexander-Arnold, and perhaps at that time, there were already personal talks between Real Madrid and Alexander-Arnold. If this happens, then it is easy to guess why Alexander-Arnold is reluctant to extend his contract and where he will go when his contract expires.

I hope my guess is wrong

Another problem, indeed Madrid was not very active in the last transfer season.

If you look at the performance and also the contribution given by Arnold at this time, maybe not only you hope that he stays but the management also wants the same thing, because indeed so far he has been a key player who has developed from the club academy and has become an important part of the first team since being promoted to the first team in the 2016 season, He has been able to be an irreplaceable part of Liverpool defends line all along, but unfortunately now he is on the verge of exiting after his contract expires in June 2025 and there is no sign that he will extend his contract with Liverpool at this time, if Arnold really moves on course it will be a huge loss for Liverpool.  Because so far he is a player who has made a great contribution and a great advantage for the team that managed to recruit him,

So far he has had a very consistent performance and with a young age of course he will be a interest for the big team later, currently it is reported that Real Madrid is often linked with defensive players such as Saliba, Jonathan Tah, Davies and also Arnold, so I think we have to wait for further developments when the winter transfer market opens later,  But I think if Madrid have tried to sign a player then it will be difficult for the player to turn him down and Liverpool of course must to be ready to lose Arnold later.

Ronaldo wants to see De Bruyne right beside him. He wants Al-Nassr to sign him at all costs.

I mean even if it is an offer like 1 million dollars a week... It sounds really insane after hearing it first.    But when you remember how rich these teams are, you start to normalize it. There wouldn't ever be a European team that can or would like to afford this amount.

It is just for show of course. I believe De Bruyne will seriously think of leaving next summer. He is a superb player but it looks like he will have an important part of this season as injured. I feel like this is his last season at Manchester City.

Kelvin De Bruyne has spent most of his career playing in the English Premier League since his youth, I don’t think the decision to leave England and explore other countries will be a problem for KDB. I would love to see him link up with Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia, just imagine Ronaldo and De Bruyne playing in same team. Ronaldo will get enough chances to meet his 1000 goals target. I am not sure if this is his last season at Manchester City but he is definitely close to leaving than staying.

I also wouldn't mind if Kevin de Bruyne chose to leave, Man City are very open to his decision they realise things happen and eventually the club will find the right replacement. Man City are not short of reliable players who will always be ready to fill vacant positions. Kevin de Bruyne has said from the start that at the end of his career seeking financial security is the right choice. Now only the Saudi Arabian club can fulfil whatever he wants. The money issue is nothing to worry about, the bonus of playing with Ronaldo is not all other players get. ke will respect his decision in the transfer window next season.

He is a fairly senior player although as a short-term option he still feels very capable.

Adding Paul Pogba to Real Madrid midfield will be another solid advantage for them because the maturity he will bring to the midfield will a world class maturity and his combo with Jude Bellingham will be one of the best because they are both well experienced and can give better results on their own.

Juventus has already decided to part ways with Paul Pogba that’s why even Fabrizio Romano posted that he will be a free agent. I was thinking that since Pogba was out for a while, he might not be that fit to perform to his best ability, and his age again couple with injury problem he used to get will make teams big teams precisely to avoid him, but let’s see how it goes; although I will be expecting him to continue in the Saudi league.

[TelolettOm]

Ancelloti just have to manage the team's injury-free players well so as to compete at the highest level with Barcelona now that it's only 3 points that separated the two clubs  with three months to January transfer window it's unfortunate that those key players would miss action possibly for both short term and long term,

Real Madrid's current problems are really complex, their players are injured. Yes, they need to get some new players again in the next transfer market,. Well, related to the latest news of player injury update, we know that Carvajal suffered a serious knee injury that will make him absent maybe until 2025. The point is for this season, he will most likely really miss the games. The latest news is that Real Madrid has signed a renewal contract with Carvajal, that his contract is extended until 2026.

Anyway, a bad news again comes from Vini JR. he is also suffering cervical injury

[Velvet78]

... would he accept them or remained loyal to play for Manchester City?

De Bruyne has achieved everything he could have with Manchester City. Even a Champions League trophy and maybe they will even do it once again this season.    Therefore just like I said, he could finally decide to leave not only Manchester City but also Europe to play for a Saudi or MLS team. Probably his next stop would be Ronaldo's team, Al-Nassr.


As far as I have heard Pogba is about to become a free agent soon officially.

I already talked about it before and it is really happening. Even though another team signs a contract with him, he isn't going to be available to play until next March.

Since Toni Kroos left Real Madrid at the end of last season, there's been some instability in the club's midfield and that will be easily solved by a prime Paul Pogba but my fear right now is that the France international haven't been playing professional football for over a year now and that I think will probably affect his confidence and effectiveness with the ball. As a player, I love Paul Pogba's style of play but will be able to still remain at the top of his game after the long absence? If yes, then I think he'll make a good signing for Real Madrid

So far de Bruyne has been a key player and also the brain of the Manchester City game, and that it  also acknowledged by Guardiola if De Bruyne role in the squad is very big, De Bruyne's current future at Manchester City is indeed in a difficult condition, on the one hand he has an important role in the squad but on the other hand precisely his age and frequent injuries may also still be a consideration for them to keep him at this time, his contract which will expire in June 2025 and there is no sign of a contract extension has certainly raised a lot of speculation about his future, previously De Bruyne continued to be linked with the Arab team but this did not materialize after Manchester City refused to release him in the transfer market last summer, but with his contract almost expiring, of course now the opportunity for De Bruyne to leave the team on a free transfer could happen in June later, to be honest, I haven't heard any news about Ronaldo request, but if that's true then I think Al Nassr will certainly try everything to get De Bruyne and he would be the right addition for Al Nassr to compete for the Arab League trophy.

[KTChampions]

Many top performing players always have an issue of age and low performance after such an injury has happened and the player is expected to be same and on fire.
The issue with De Bruyne is more or less a case of the team trying to manage his fitness. He is out of form because of the constant recurring injuries and even his appearance for his country team isn't going to happen anytime soon until he is fully recovered and has begun playing matches.
He might likely make play for any other clubs with a bumper contract before this season is over because am sure he knows his time at Manchester City is coming to an end due to Pep assigning other players to his position on the pitch.

It's the perfect time for KDB to go to Saudi Arabia - the schedule is less intense, the level of competition is lower and in 3 years he will earn as much as he earned in his entire career before. I don't understand why KDB isn't there yet, I hope Ronaldo can convince him. This needs to be done as early as possible, as age will have an ever greater impact and it will be more difficult for him to prove that he is worth his money.

Probably his next stop would be Ronaldo's team, Al-Nassr.

When De Bruyne decide to leave Manchester city he would definitely want to go to Saudi Arabia as they can afford him and his salary. Not every club can afford de bruyne and they wouldn't want to pay that much for a player that's passed his prime and can't give the team better performance that he was doing at Manchester city to win trophies. At Saudi, he can have a better impact to the team with less effort as the football over there is lesser than what is being played in Europe. De bruyne has won everything that he can imagine to win as a player in club football although he didn't win any ballon d'or or many individual awards but it might be too late for that already to to stay in Europe.

Toni Kroos has a very big role in Real Madrid midfield line. He could work well together with Modric, he has a great accuracy in delivering assists, he controlled the game, and he was great both in attacking & defending. Kroos was simply a perfect midfielder, Real Madrid really relied on him in the past. I even doubt that a player like Pogba can be compared with Toni Kroos. Pogba may be a top midfielder but he has a different play style. Pogba has no a very accurate assists as Toni Kroos has. But it is not bad if Real Madrid to plan signing Pogba.

[Iranus]

Do you thing Paul Pogba will be signed by any top teams among the European top leagues?

Who knows, his ban is quite ridiculous if you know the situation.
He got positive for a drug when he was in the US.
While the drug was legal in the US advised from an American doctor it is not legal in EU.

But again he has been banned in a weird way.
Never before a football player at 1st positivity was banned for the max of the "detention"

Something is weird in this situation.

I don't think Pogba will be signed by any top teams. He might be given chances by smaller teams in Europe, but I don't think he still has the fitness nor the caliber to play for a top team. Football is really fast now, and teams move on when they lose out on a player. And Pogba has been nothing but a problematic cause for a lot of teams.

His return will be celebrated by a lot of football fans though, as Pogba is considered to be one of those players who rocked the streets. His flair, ability on and off the ball felt surreal. His doping situation were always a bit foggy, but good to see that his appeal was accepted, and he can be back much earlier than the initial sentence.

Yes i think his case will be like that of Mendy when he got a rape case, he would certainly get a chance to play in clubs in seria A and Ligue 1 is home town. Right now he just needs to actually go for a run with some games and get his fitness back. Pogba is an exceptional player but his attitude is what is actually affecting him and that’s how he got the doping case. He needs to actually get his head straight and he will bounce back again.

Seriously I am one of those who actually is happy to have him back on the field again he has learnt his lessons but I was sure the doping case was a bit fishy. Hopefully we will have the opportunity of seeing him play this beautiful game again. I think the France national team will be more excited than anyone to have him back

This can’t be concluded yet and the way Pogba is playing is not that bad that he won’t find a top team that really likes his playing style. He was adored and wanted by many teams even when he was still actively playing before the dope case. I think we have to wait and see the condition of this player before one can say he’ll be a good choice to continue for Juventus if they want him, or he’ll get a big contract from another big club or will go for the smaller teams. His confidence and enthusiasm is just one of a kind that I feel he won’t take long for him to get engaged again after his return by January.

De Bruyne's contract will expire next summer and he earns a high salary of £400,000/week at Man City maybe if he moves to an Arab club it might be more than Man City's salary, I don't know later his decision whether he will stay for another season or choose to leave because there is no agreement anymore.

And this also coincides with Pep Guardiola's contract expiring while the previous rumor was that he would train the England national team because the FA would wait for him until the contract expired.
I don't know what will happen later, maybe there will be many changes.
