⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Juicyhome]

For a couple of days now Fabrizio Romano has been posting that the Brazil national team are strongly interested in signing Carlo Ancelotti from Real Madrid, and we all know that if Fabrizio posts it, it is 99.9% correct.

That said, what do you guys think, do you think Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid at the end of this season and coach a national team for the first time, it will be interesting to see such a successful coach manage a national team and he might just be successful there too.

Carlo Ancelotti is an experienced coach and one of the best in the world, he as make a mark in club football and if he wants to try national football i believe he will do better still, it will be interesting to watch him in any national team, since his future with Real madrid is not sure. He has won everything for Real madrid and he has to try another challenge.

If the Brazil national team wants to hire him they can actually get him, he can lead the Brazil team to the world cup. he has good Real Madrid players in the Brazil National team and he will settle down well with Brazil.

regarding Roma I read some information about the future of Paulo Dybala, it seems that the player will return in September but will not renew with Roma, which is a serious loss for the Roman club, the fact is that finding a replacement for such a good player is difficult, currently the possible replacements are Paixao or Nico Paz

I don't think Dybala replacements like Paixao and Nico Paz are capable of developing a heavy task at their current age which is still very young. Roma is trying to regenerate but still so far it will be difficult to find a worthy replacement. Roma transition process will take time and with the demands in Serie A which are increasingly unlikely Roma will enter the hunt for any title. This season I think Roma will have difficulty securing the UCL ticket, at most only fighting for the Europa Conference League.

Dybala has now finished the season due to his injury. He will not be able to play in another match this season. However, the manager said that he has recovered from a more serious injury. Dybala is an important player for Roma. They will look for his absence, but he is already 31 years old and they would start looking for a good alternative to replace him. Perhaps this injury will lead to a younger and better player being brought in instead.

It's easier to anticipate an early replacement of a significant player of a team than actually getting one of such or meeting up to expectations.

No doubt Paulo Dybala recent injury sideline would be a big loss for them and now the fact he may not renew his contract is another big issue, since his experience would have been important for any younster to learn from and become much better. Although hid contract is expiring June 2026 and I think that might be okay at least for him to impact on his potential replacement, except Roma chose to cash out on him this season. I remember when the management wanted to let him go but the fans never wanted and now deep down, everyone would want him to remain thanks to his contribution to the club this short time he has spent already.

Manchester United is interesting in listening Saudi's offer for Onana. If i was their coach, i would accept any offer from Saudi as long as it's not that far from the bought price. They valued him so damn high when signed from Intermilan. It's their biggest mistake in buying him.

He's starting pretty well, regressed at the mid season, and finished badly at the end of season. He made to many human errors, and have bad build up. I would be totally agree if they cash in him for money. They need a quality goal keeper more than him.

The goalkeeper position has long been in need of strengthening at Manchester United, but since it is not the only position that requires changes, they first thought about strengthening the attack. It is clear that Amorim is not against letting Onan go, I even think that he is smart enough to understand that he needs another goalkeeper if he wants to build a strong team. The summer transfer window will show how much Amorim is able to change the team, or what funding he will receive for this.

I think goal keeper must be Manchester United's priority. It's as important as finding a new striker. That's because Amorim's pattern is also building from the back. If they have no quality goal keeper, they will always conceded many goals in any season. They need a quality goal keeper to ensure they will be find when they get high pressure by their opponent.

I understand you put striker as their urgency, but they have been doing it a few tiems, and it's all flops. If they can't really build good attack, they can at least have good defense.

A tree cannot make a forest i.e Onana needs a strong defense for him to be able to do his job properly. He was very good in Inter, which was why he was brought over to United. However, since he came to United we haven't seen the best of him because of the ongoing drama in United team. Their performance will also affect the performance of Onana, let him be given another opportunity to prove himself.

It’s crazy that a lot of person still see Onana as the sole problem of the team while I see it as a general problem. The general team form has an impact on the players individually. How can Onana perform well and compete as best goalkeeper when he has a weak defense. Stats also show his number of saves per game which means he would have conceded more if he wasn’t making those good saves.

His defense is bad, but he is not out of the blame because he is equally a part of the problem the team is currently facing. His overconfidence and callous play have resulted in a lot of goals, and no time has he shown that he has learnt from the errors he keeps committing in games. if he is up for sale, that is going to be a good thing for the team because you can't have a bunch of unserious defenders as well as a bad goalkeeper and expect that you are going to get good results as a team. for me, apart from Bruno Fernandes and Amad, there is no other player in that team that if put up for sell will look like a bad decision from the management. Most of them don't even play like they want to play for the team. Maybe when they leave the team and go to another team, they can do better, just like the way Anthony is currently playing well at Real Betis.

Both could be true at the same time. Onana could be a bad goalkeeper, while defense is also a bad defense as well. I can see in a situation where goalkeeper is great, but defense is bad, the goalkeeper could still concede goals and that would make sense, and you may assume that Onana might be in the same problem.

However, when you watch him and see the goals he concedes, while some of them are of course defensive errors, some of them are just Onana errors. They can't change all of the defenders and the strategy defensively overnight, but they can just fire one goalkeper and get another one. They won't sell Onana for free anyways, they will make "some" money from him, and that means they can put some more money on it and get someone better.

TAA's rumor is just getting wild. I remember Marca reported him has denied Liverpool's new contract offer, which i believe it might be fake. This time another rumor is coming up about him has already agreed 5 year contract with Madrid. This report came from skyport, and hard to say it was fake, but not 100% believe in it.

If it's true, i expect his announcement come at the summer. I put much respect to him if he decides to join Madrid. It's hard for a player like him to deny Madrid's offer, but i believe he won't be a free transfer. I expect TAA to also receives some millions signing fees bonus from Madrid.

It is no longer news reading about Real Madrid’s interest in Alexander Arnold. Since the January transfer window rumors have carried that Real Madrid are open to possibilities of signing a right back and have identified Arnold as a good option in that position but it was unlikely that a deal can be done in January. However they might try to strike a deal with Liverpool in the summer

[Despairo]

I don't think Dybala replacements like Paixao and Nico Paz are capable of developing a heavy task at their current age which is still very young. Roma is trying to regenerate but still so far it will be difficult to find a worthy replacement.

Why not for Nico Paz? he played in Serie A too, so he exactly know the opponents. I understand the pressure and expectation would be higher, but Nico Paz is the best player in Como, so I don't think he need a time to adapt in Roma.

A tree cannot make a forest i.e Onana needs a strong defense for him to be able to do his job properly. He was very good in Inter, which was why he was brought over to United. However, since he came to United we haven't seen the best of him because of the ongoing drama in United team. Their performance will also affect the performance of Onana, let him be given another opportunity to prove himself.

More like Onana is covered by 3 strong defenders and 5 midfielders, he's only distribute the ball to his teammates, more like an extra central back instead of a goalkeeper. I think goalkeeper is a position that doesn't affect by the team, how bad or good the team, the goalkeeper depend on his own skill.

According to the latest news by Fichajes, Manchester United is pursuing Cunha. I dunno what's United fans will feel if this news news is true.

I rated Cunha as average striker, yet he is a very problematic striker. He has non sense release clause, which is not worth with his performance. It's crazy if they keen in signing him as a new striker, while they can pick a better one.

He is a temperamental striker, and regularly banned by PL due to the bad behavior.  If they really try to break his release clause, it's gonna be the biggest news ever.

If Trent Alexander-Arnold really goes to Madrid it would not be surprising anymore because the signs are clear. When he ignored the contract extension from Liverpool, it was an indication that he would no longer stay at Liverpool, though in that proposal he could have received a big salary but that still didn't make him change his mind. I think Bellingham had a pretty big part in this case because as far as I know he is very close to TAA. Liverpool's big loss is Real Madrid's gain.

I think it's Liverpool themselves, they have serious problems with their strategy of signing/re-signing players. Salah recently openly (when asked by journalists) admitted that he will most likely leave the club because there is not only no offer from the club, but there are no even negotiations started. I am not surprised that other clubs that are persistent end up having priority and attracting the attention of players.

Mohamed Salah was a player who gave everything for this team. Liverpool made the Egyptian player very upset. It is very strange that they have not started negotiations to extend his contract with him while he feels like he belongs to Liverpool. What more does Salah have to do for Liverpool? I think he deserved a retirement for Liverpool.

According to the latest news, negotiations have started and Liverpool seem to be offering good terms, but they only want to extend the contract for one year. If I were Salah, I would take this as a clear disrespect. It is clear that he has an age factor, but he has an option in Saudi Arabia with a higher salary, why would he want Liverpool? Even if they offer good money for the remaining year, I would already choose Saudi Arabia, especially considering that the local cultural characteristics suit him.

[Litzki1990]

The future of Isak will be interesting to follow. I am reading from various sources that he is refusing a new contract with Newcastle.

I would love to have him at Liverpool. I think he is probably the best CF in world football right now.

If Isak is refusing to renew the contract he probobly already has a team that picked him and he will probobly leave this summer. Liverpool needs a striker and if they get him they will finally fill that position that was a problem in the years before. But with Salah leaving they will need a good winger aswell.

So at the end of this season, Md. Salah is sure to leave? 
Mohamed Salah is still performing well for Liverpool so I thought maybe Liverpool will keep Mohamed Salah in their club for one more season but if they sell him as soon as the transfer market opens in front of Liverpool then I think they will understand Mohamed Salah's absence well when the season starts. Maybe they will appoint another player in the place of Mohamed Salah, but Mohamed Salah has played in Liverpool for a long time and he has enough experience, combined with experience and skill, Mohamed Salah is definitely able to perform better than other players in his position. Maybe Liverpool could still think about extending Mohamed Salah's contract. I think Mohamed Salah should be kept by Liverpool for at least one more season, even if the team needs it.

Liverpool should have acted sooner on Salah's contract and given the value he deserves to a player who is very valuable to the club. They are too late to negotiate a contract and a one-year contract is, in my opinion, far below the respect Salah should be shown. Many clubs, big and small, do this and I think it is not something that should be done to players.

It is not yet clear what Liverpool's plans are for their squad structure but they need to hurry up with transfers and contracts to continue competing with the top teams.

This news hasn’t even been a thing of late because it is has been circulating for almost two years now, the Brazil national team have actually shown strong interest in Ancelloti and with the way the players are playing it is seriously understandable why they need such a manager as the head. Ancelloti is not untouchable at Real Madrid because Real Madrid have hinted before in a new change of leadership at the club. Personally I think should Madrid fail to win any of the trophies they currently participating, most especially the UCL I think Perez will think towards letting him leave.

Ancelotti himself seems to be interested in the job, probably might be think of a new adventure after a successful club coaching career. It will be a good fit with the kind of football he plays, but the national team most at times isn’t about the pattern of football you play because most at times it is seriously hard to implement a style but it is how cohesive the team is. Seriously Brazil need a change before the next year’s World Cup.

As for the Real Madrid job if vacant I think of only one name as a perfect replacement and it is Xabi Alonso of Bayer Leverkusen, they might be having a tough season now but one can clearly see his pattern of play and with the relationship he has with Real Madrid it will simply be an easy move in my opinion

I think he is not the right striker for Man Utd. Maybe a cheaper option but if they want to build a great team they need someone like Isak or Gyokeres someone that can do big things. I agree he has a temper and thats why he didnt play in a lot of games for Wolves this season.

It is not yet clear what Liverpool's plans are for their squad structure but they need to hurry up with transfers and contracts to continue competing with the top teams.

Firstly, Liverpool have loss Trent Alexander-Arnold after his contract expiring and officially Madrid have announced reach agreement deal for signing him with free transfer and right now most important for Liverpool how to make Mohamad Salah want extend his contract. Crucial moment right now for Liverpool indeed almost win the premier league tittle this season, but they have possibility losses another two top players Mohamad Salah and Van Dijk both of them contract's expired.

Still negotiate about contract duration and how much salary will receive by Salah or Van Dijk, if can reach agreement deal until the end of this season Salah will be free agent and interested for other team to sign him without spending fees transfer.

People spread an hype about Pogba earlier after his recovery. They said he would make a great comeback and start playing professional football again soon. But what happened later on? Still 0 deal for him. 

I know it hasn't been a long time since his ban ended. We aren't in a transfer window now either. But I mean he is free agent now. Like for 3 whole months. Some team could have just signed a contract with him to start as of this summer.

Let's see what upcoming days bring us. But I don't expect him to perform like in his prime anymore...

Real Madrid really deserves appreciation in terms of buying players, they are very smart so that the players they get can be obtained for free. Real Madrid actually intended to buy Trent Alexander-Arnold last January because Carvajal had an ACL injury, but Liverpool rejected it. Maybe at that time the consideration was that Liverpool still needed TAA for the rest of the season to be able to win trophies. Even though the risk was released for free and now it has been proven.

Liverpool's decision was strange, but if viewed subjectively. Maybe Liverpool had thought about the risks, and of course Liverpool had tried hard so that Trent Alexander-Arnold would not leave with "free transfer" status, but the player had already wanted to leave to pursue his dream. On the other hand, maybe the wisdom for Liverpool is that Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure to Real Madrid allows Liverpool to have a bigger budget (from Trent Alexander-Arnold's salary) to extend Moh Salah and Van Dijk's contracts.

Many clubs will be sceptical of signing the French midfielder because of his reputation challenge. His drug ban has tarnished his image and it will take some time for him to recover his image. I don't know if he has had any offers from the Saudi Professional League and Major League Soccer. They would have been the best leagues to sign such an experienced player. There are also reservations that his performance might have reduced since has been out of football for a long time. The club signed former Manchester United player Mason Greenwood after his rape case was dropped. I thought Roberto De Zerbi would have signed Paul Pogba just like they revitalized Greenwood.

Recently after having humiliating defeat against Argentina at Buenos Aires in front of 85 015 fans now Brazilian media hitting back at CBF about teams performance and their chances in coming FIFA World Cup even currently nothing is clear but as things are going most chances at the end of this season Carlos Ancelotti have something about this new adventure because he already announces he will leave current job after end of this season.

As media reports are coming Xabi Alonso also set for replacing Carlos Ancelotti but is this happening it's fascinating because some time back he rejected this move but suddenly again all set for his possible move which can increase their performance and teams depth which is at lowest level despite having few top-quality players.

65 Years old never manage any national team this is also going to be interesting project for him while he regarded as one of the best coaches in UEFA for long time and with his success stories in all top leagues.

There will be no top club who stupid enough in signing Pogba as their player. His career is already finished. He has very bad reputation, and been so long out from football pro-scene.

When you can sign young and potential player, and why do you need to sign an old and bad player like him. It's obviosly zero logic.

If he's willing to comeback, he has to start from the scratch. He must start play from the low tier club, then climb up.
