⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Or indeed Pep Guardiola wants to find new challenges, as we know the England national team will be Pep Guardiola's priority because he once said he wanted to serve there and now the FA is waiting for him.

Even if he goes to Serie A, which club will he go to? No top club from Serie A has a coaching crisis, right?

Yeah he will end probably in a national team or Arabia.
I don't see him going in Italy right now with the lack of money they have in Serie A in this historical moment.
Even if he said it many years ago that he wanted to go there and win where he played.

As you may know he also played in Serie A, I think with Baggio in Brescia.

Guardiola has indeed stated that he wants to coach the national team one day but compared to the England national team obviously he may be more hopeful to get the pride of coaching the Spanish national team, However, I think it will not happen in the near future considering that his desire to coach a club is still quite large, currently he has managed to bring Barcelona, Munich and Manchester City to the peak of glory,  So far he has coached three big clubs from three different leagues, so for become the most successful coach in Europe of course Guardiola will try the adventure to coach teams from Italy and France, so that way he will be the only coach who manages to achieve success in the 5 biggest European competitions later, so far maybe the Serie A team is not yet a coaching crisis, but when there is an opportunity to recruit a great coach like Guardiola then I think the team will not hesitate to find fault with the coach and fire him to recruit guardiola .

Frenkie de Jong is still not fully recovered... And he is making tons of money which is going up to 25 million euros a year with bonuses. He said that people were wrong and he was actually making much less than that but I don't know.  

https://www.capology.com/player/frenkie-de-jong-35562/

Isn't it bad to pay this injury-prone player this much money?    I mean he is talented okay but he can't play regularly during a season. The team can't get enough efficiency from him comparing to the money he earns. While Barcelona is trying to raise funds, I think they should consider selling him or cutting his salary seriously.

As far as I know, Barcelona has tried to do that and even an agreement has been made between Barcelona and Man United, but unfortunately, De Jong insists he doesn't want to leave Barcelona. I even remember Barcelona threatening to cut his salary if he still refused to accept the offer from Man United, but again the threat did not make De Jong change his decision.

But it's such a waste for Barcelona to keep De Jong even longer. His wages are high, even after he agreed to decrease them with Barcelona in order to extend his contract. If we always missed him in any season due to his injuries, it's a loss to always pay his expensive wages.

I hope Barcelona will sell him instead of keeping him. He was rarely contributing to the club and this is a sense reason to sell him. I hope he will also understand the situation.

The last time I heard that if De Jong has agreed to be sold, as long as there was no improvement  his condition.

Firstly when I think of this deal I actually want to curse the then board of directors at Barcelona, they were the ones that actually put the club in this current financial mess today. De Jong sitting on a weekly $600k is absolutely a joke to me coupled the fact that it was a long term deal is absurd. Yes we all know how super talented he was but he is just been so unlucky due to injuries and that I can’t blame him for. Over the past three seasons I can remember Barcelona have been trying to get him off their wage book with Ten Hag arriving at Manchester United and wanted the player but the player opted against the move.

In as much  as I see him trying to actually prove himself by all means at Barcelona I think some love stories have to just end and everyone go their separate ways to find peace, this lad could actually see his injury going away by switching clubs but he doesn’t wants to leave and the club cannot do anything because he is contracted to them and selling him off will mean he will be paid his balance base on the contract agreed with a new club which is a big problem at the moment for Barcelona because no buyer is actually coming to pay that ridiculous wage load for an injury prone even though talented

Even if he goes to Serie A, which club will he go to? No top club from Serie A has a coaching crisis, right?

So... I was reading a very plausible rumor from journalist David Sánchez: According to him, Pep is going to coach a national team and he even gave indications that this new challenge would be the English national football team.

Well... considering that the next edition of the World Cup is very close, this could really be a good choice and Guardiola also feels very comfortable living in England, where his relationship with the fans and the press is quite clean. It also weighs on the fact that Pep knows the English players very well, even from City's rival teams.

And you, do you also believe in this possibility?

in my opinion, it seems like Pep is starting to get bored with the challenge of coaching a club, because he has given many titles to teams that use his services, especially Pep is a loyal coach, he will continue to give all his abilities until the club is successful, for example Man City which is currently a respected club in the domestic and European leagues.
The adventure of coaching the national team will be a new challenge for his coaching career, the England national team is a good choice.
However, currently what is being widely rumored is Thomas Tuchel who will replace Southgate in the England national team coaching chair because the English Football Association wants to immediately bring in a new coach after interim coach Lee Carsley gave disappointing results against Greece in the national league.

I don’t think Thomas Tuchel is the best manager for England. Manchester United fans would not even consider him as a replacement for Erik Ten Hag whom they believe is one of the worst manager Manchester United has had since Alex Ferguson. Someone called Tuchel a failed manager at Chelsea and Bayern Munich. I’m surprised that England national team have gone this far in negotiations with Tuchel. The fact that he is German  and is being considered for such an important position shows that they are not xenophobic but again is Tuchel the best option for England?

Real Madrid are indeed very smart in recruiting players, they see Trent has so far rejected all new contract offers from Liverpool and has not responded to the latest offer. Real Madrid immediately made contact with Trent whose contract will expire in 2025, if he has been persuaded by Real, it is not impossible that Trent will be obtained by Real Madrid for free.

However, considering that Carvajal is currently injured, I don't think Real Madrid wants to wait until his contract ends, I heard that Real Madrid is serious about bringing in Trent in the near future by offering another option by exchanging Tchuameni to secure Trent because Liverpool also want a midfielder.

It will be interesting to see if Liverpool will consider releasing one of their defenders, even in the hope of getting a quality midfielder like Tchuameni. If this deal happens, then this could be one of the most important transfers for both teams.

While free players thing is a great achievement for Real Madrid, it is not as big of a deal for them as people think and totally about players themselves. Because instead of paying 100 million to a team and 25 million signing bonus to a player, they pay 125 million as a signing bonus to player they got for free. Maybe this may not be fully true, maybe they save some, but they are not giving the same exact bonus, they still end up paying more when a player is free.

So, this is why players wait until their contract runs out, and go there as free agents, in order to get more money from Real Madrid. I am sure Real profits from this a bit, but not fully and they wouldn't mind buying the players neither, but in a situation like that, player wouldn't make too much and this is why players prefer to let their contract run out. Trent is known to want to go to Real, and this is why he is not extending his contract and I am sure he is going to end up making a ton of money.

Coaching National team will be a boring job for Pep Guardiola, he is the type of coach that love having world class players in his team, he don’t like to manage players that’s why he always go to teams that are ready to spend money; he connected have good performances coaching National team because he will be confined under some certain players and will have no choice of bringing others.

However, currently what is being widely rumored is Thomas Tuchel who will replace Southgate in the England national team coaching chair because the English Football Association wants to immediately bring in a new coach after interim coach Lee Carsley gave disappointing results against Greece in the national league.

Thomas Tuchel is a good coach, he was not just lucky at Nauern Munich. Considering the high quality of players England National team have, he can do his best for them to win trophies because Garate Southfate has failed in several trials despite all the players he has.

As long as Pep Guardiola still has an adventurous spirit that wants to continue to seek new sensations, it is possible that his next club will be a club in Serie A. La Liga and Bundesliga have been conquered, now the Premier League has achieved extraordinary success with Man City, if he really wants to conquer the European then the next is Serie A or Ligue 1, but there is nothing interesting about the competition of clubs France. Serie A is a very logical competition, isn't it? As for when he will go there of course no one knows for sure.

We can't judge early whether Tuchel is the right coach or not for England this because train national team is different compared to train club and Tuchel is very experience to managing the clubs even he got several trophies such as champion league trophy or Bundesliga trophy and about England after Southgate has been withdraw from his position as a manager i think England is required new manager immediatelly this because they have to focus at Nation League and world cup qualification

England caretaker Lee Carsley is not the right manager for England and you might know this that England has poor debut under him because yesterday they had just lost from Greece at Nation League so England should have new manager and regarding Tuchel i think this is still not certain because besides Tuchel England has several candidates as their next manager such as Guardiola so England Football Federation still considering who is the replacement of Southgate in this team

As you may know he also played in Serie A, I think with Baggio in Brescia.

On several occasions, Pep has said he wants new experiences and challenges. Previously, Guardiola had said he would return to Barcelona one day but not to become a manager but the club's president. There was a new question that he said before his contract ended at Manchester City, he said he was handling a national team. It seems that the England national team is his goal as stated in the post above. Well, I don't think Pep has the desire to handle the Italian national team, but handling the Italian national team is quite a big challenge, IMO. Moreover, in Italy there is Baggio, his friend when he played together at Brescia. Wow, that was a long time ago. For Arabia, I'm not sure. But if I may say, handling the England national team is more suitable for Pep Guardiola.

For the SPL it seems that Pep is still too luxurious with the prime he has at the moment although it does not rule out the possibility that money can change one's view including for Pep. But rather than that I want him to go to a newer level in which case the national team is a possible place to fit in when he decides to leave later.

Looking at Pep's current coaching career record, Manchester City is the longest club he has accompanied as a coach because previously at Barcelona he only coached for 4 seasons and at Bayern 3 seasons, but for Manchester City now from 2016 until now it has been almost 8 seasons he has had a career and everything is quite brilliant and no one doubts his coaching.
So for now being a coach in the national team seems to be a new challenge when compared to the SPL which is nothing more than burning money.

But it's such a waste for Barcelona to keep De Jong even longer. His wages are high, even after he agreed to decrease them with Barcelona in order to extend his contract. If we always missed him in any season due to his injuries, it's a loss to always pay his expensive wages.

I hope Barcelona will sell him instead of keeping him. He was rarely contributing to the club and this is a sense reason to sell him. I hope he will also understand the situation.

I know that. De Jong is a very talented player, but the amount of his injuries has already ruined his career, and that's wild. Barcelona was hoping they could bring back their glory days by bringing him to the club. But, in reality, they don't meet their expectation.

I hope they can sell him once he finishes with his injuries. They can allocate the weekly salary received by him to bring a talented player, such as Nico Williams. And a speedy recovery for him soon.

Pep Guardiola coaching a national team seems more likely, I can’t imagine Pep Guardiola coaching in Saudi Arabia.  Pep is very competitive so if he’s already bored with the Premier League which is the toughest league in football, I doubt he would be able to enjoy the Saudi Pro League. With the huge amount of money, Saudi clubs are willing to spend to buy foreign players, I believe it won’t be very difficult for Pep to turn the Saudi Pro league into a farmers league.

Almost every season De Jong has been injured, his talent has been drowned out by being in the treatment room too often. Referring to the transfermarkt site, De Jong has missed quite a few matches, including missing matches with the Dutch national team. His weekly wages are quite high at Barcelona, ​​but his contribution to the club has never been maximized for a full season. With a long history of injuries, Barcelona will find it difficult to cash in on him, even though De Jong has said he wants to stay for a long time.

His market value continues to decline due to rarely playing, and De Jong has only played for 24 minutes this season. De Jong is still under contract until June 2026, and it seems that Barcelona will try to encourage the player to find a new club. Regarding Nico Williams, Barcelona needs a large budget to be able to recruit him from Bilbao.

I don't think it was this way, I rather think that it was the other way around: Tuchel was already negotiating with the Three Lions while he was also contacted by Manchester United and then he saw what an opportunity it is to coach the national team instead of drowning with the mess that ten Hag is leaving behind. Honestly I would have done the same and be sure that he will have a great compensation for that. I doubt he earns any less than he would have earned as a Manchester United coach.

And leading the English national team to the World Cup 2026 is a huge thing. Less work, big money and a huge event waiting for him. To me it sounds like Tuchel turned down Manchester United and not vice versa.

[SatoPrincess]

I have my doubts that Pogba would have been able to play before he had this problem. Pogba used to be a great player but he didn't play for almost 2 years, so I understand why Juventus feels no longer needs to extend Pogba's contract because they are not convinced enough that Pogba will shine again. If Marseille are indeed interested in Pogba, they seem to be more willing to speculate than Juventus.

Pogba gets his suspension reduced because it was allegedly not his own intentional, but, if it turns out that it was a deliberate act, then it is not impossible that he could do it again.

I read Paul Pogba is considering a move to Inter Miami or the Saudi Pro League. Paul Pogba is a talented midfielder but he hasn’t played professional football for more than a year, I don’t think top clubs in Europe would be interested in signing him when his ban expires. His best shot at playing professional football is accepting a move to Saudi or MLS.

Wow. This is actually my first time of coming across such rumor that tuchel was already agreeing a deal with England. I follow Fabrizio alot, but I don't think I've come across the information, if he actually posted it, which I'm not sure. But I really doubt if England are willing to employ a German manager. Regardless, I think he will do well if he eventually gets the job. There are quality players and even squad depth in the England national team, which I believe tuchel will make a good use of. If I remembered correctly, there is this 3-4-3 arrangement I always see while he was at Chelsea, and that formation brought out some good players like Reece james, because tuchel make good use of his wing backs.

But we all will be waiting to see what he can offer in 2026 and beyond (if possible), if eventually he gets the job.

Rumors has been messing around since the statement of Pogba being welcomed back to play professionally once again, despite anything Pogba still remains one good player that as much teams will be willing to sign. Rumor also have it that Marseille is also in talk to have him reunite with his former United team mate Greenwood.

I would suggest he goes for the Saudi if they are truly in request for him, the player is already aging and anything more about a few years from now will potentially reduces his worth in this major league teams adding up to his frequent injuries isn't going to end too well.

Thomas Tuchel may be not the best manager but he deserves to consider as England manager or Man United next manager. He is much better than Ten Hag, Tuchel has won varied trophies, including UCL trophy. If there are people who said Tuchel failed in Chelsea or in Bayern Munich, why he won UCL trophy with Chelsea and won Bundesliga trophy with Bayern Munich? There is no manager who always won trophy in each season, there should be time that a manager failed to win due to some factors. In this matter, I personally don't doubt the quality of Tuchel, he is one of the good coaches in the world. By the way, we can't conclude whether he is good or not for England now. We can conclude it when he already showed some results with England national teams.

If Marseille are indeed interested in Pogba, they seem to be more willing to speculate than Juventus.

Pogba gets his suspension reduced because it was allegedly not his own intentional, but, if it turns out that it was a deliberate act, then it is not impossible that he could do it again.

It has recently become known that Pogba has been in talks with Marseille for several weeks, and the fact that his disqualification will be reduced from 4 years to 18 months became known only a few days ago. Apparently Pogba knew in advance that his disqualification could be reduced and that he would need to look for a new team.

I doubt that after the reduction of the term, they can again reconsider their decision, this will only be possible if he is caught in further doping, but this would be a big stupidity and would definitely put an end to his career, I think he understands this perfectly well. Pogba is a very talented player and he is not so old to think about ending his career, so I assumed that there would be a club that would risk taking him in Europe, and Pogba would be more interested in continuing to play in Europe than going to Saudi Arabia or MLS.

I don't mean to criticize him by making this post. Maybe he's right when he declares himself innocent of all charges. But let's suppose it's true that he used dope. Then this would make him more tolerant to fatigue, he wouldn't get tired quickly, and it would also make him stronger. Therefore, he could be considered a good player. Of course, people wouldn't know that he used dope. Now the guy won't be able to dope, so that means that the strength he demonstrated in the past won't exist, that resistance to fatigue won't exist. Therefore, the guy won't perform well on the field, so when he returns to play, it will be possible to prove whether or not his past abilities were natural.

For doping to work, it has to be systematic and used for more than one week. I think it is quite possible that he was taking medication without the instructions of a sports doctor and was unknowingly using banned drugs. You have to be an absolute fool to start doping, knowing that you are constantly being tested for banned substances, and hope that you can get away with it this time. It's absolute stupidity
