⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Stablexcoin]

I don’t see the need to bring De Gea back to Manchester United. The decision to part ways has already been made, United have to move on. If Onana is no longer m good enough for the team they can sort other options elsewhere, I believe De Gea is not the only good keeper available to Manchester United.

Just give me a good reason why you think they shouldn't bring back De Gea back to Manchester United? David De Gea won't be the only player to come back to his former club, many players in the past has done that. Manchester United knows the capacity of De Gea and how important he can be for them in high profile matches, and in the premier league. De Gea is a proven goal keeper who will fit in perfectly with the premier league demands. Manchester United don't need a new trial and errors with their goal keeper. They don't have to start with another experiment at the start of next season. They tried that with Onana and it didn't work, they don't need that again in the upcoming season that all eyes will be on Amorim, to see how well he will lead the team. To me I don't see any problem in bringing that young man back to the club.

The reason is because David De Gea wasn’t the problem but the club made him the villain. Manchester United should move on, bringing De Gea back will only put unnecessary pressure on him to prove a point, what if he fails? If I was De Gea, the only returning to United will be for managerial or off pitch position.

Don't we see it as same thing happening to Onana, Manchester Untied are not good even if they sign the best goal keeper currently to prove a point it still won't do any good, Goal Keepers don't carry the whole team, it's a collective effort ranging from management down to every player. Let them bring back De Gea and see what changes, improvements needs to be done from strikers down to defenders, current players are not helping, very bad performance from them.

So now that Real Madrid is out from the Champions League is time to speculate.
Assuming that Carlo Ancellotti will leave at the end of the season.

Who will be the next real Madrid coach?

Xabi Alonso? Zidane again?

[Ryu_Ar1]

I would not be only feel desperate if i were Amorim. I might be getting even frustrated and have low expectation for the next season if i were him. I know how he feel having a club that is not keen in selling a flop. He has to do something in order to push his club to sell garbage goal keeper, then sign a quality one.
His club may be reluctant in selling Onana because they might be suffering huge lost, but they have no choice. That's far better than keep him until end of his contract, and got no return.

It's a bad news from Manchester United when Saudi is also preparing some money to sign Onana in summer transfer window.

What to expect? Because poor performance will make the value weaken and that has happened for Manchester United in recent seasons.
We can see for a few seasons ago where Maguire dropped dramatically and now Onana is also happening so in the end this is something that I think is quite natural.

Amorim can't do much even if he is pressured though of course he won't get big results with the current condition of the player. Manchester United are in a difficult condition and they have to accept that. Not everything can be made into a business all the time, they have done that in the golden era but something like that by selling players for a profit will certainly not be able to happen for difficult times like this because other clubs will also think again for expensive players but their performance cannot be expected.

Manchester United will be very lucky if they actually receive an offer for a player like Onana, I really don't understand how someone could still be interested in such a bad goalkeeper. I don't know about you but I wouldn't want Onana in my teal not even for free. And with the kind of salary he gets only Saudi teams could afford him.

He's the manager in charge and knows what he needs to work out things for club, and it's crystal clear that Onana is messing up a lot as the number one man of Manchester United, doing series of clueless mistakes that you don't understand what the hell is really wrong with him, Onana have been given quite enough time to redress and get improved in his keeping capacity, It will be the right thing to do by Mancehster United selling of Onana after this season and during the window transfer open.

While it is understandable that fans would rather see Barcelona keep Raphinha, it is also not reasonable to expect them to pay the whole house on him. Remember, they did the same thing to Frankie De Jong and look at them right now, having trouble getting rid of him and hoping his salary would go down or he would be leaving.

So there is no way that Raphinha could be paid 20+ million a year, nearly 30 million and then that would be fine for Barcelona. He should be getting 10-15, that is what he is worth but more importantly that is what Barcelona can pay for a player because they are in a financially troubled situation. If they decide to pay 25-30 million salary for a single player, then they are not going to be able to get anyone else and hope that everyone stays for the same price and plays exactly the same.

Barcelona still haven’t learnt their lessons from their past. The fact that they are still in the process of reviving their financial system and trying to balance their finances is enough reason to avoid over paying any player. If that‘s not enough reason for the club to reconsider then they could as well get on with it and wait for the repercussion.

I definitely know a situation like this will definitely arises as long as Barcelona players are performing at this level, many clubs will come for them and it will be interesting to see how they can turn down heavy pay checks to stay at the club. The player I see that Barcelona will be able to keep with this current wages will be Academy products who are still indebted to the club. As for the purchased players I think they will one way or the other request for a bigger offer during contract extension most likely especially if there are clubs interested in them.

Personally I will say Barcelona have to resist such offers, for example paying Raphinha that amount definitely signals information to the entire squad to actually request for pay rise too and this is what actually brought them this mess, they seriously need to negotiate all current deals well in order not to give out contracts with wages like they did before

This was evident long before such global problems as we have now. He has rarely played decently, and now it feels like he started playing like this on purpose just to break his contract and leave the team. If that's really the case then it's hard to blame him, the team is already bad enough at the moment and nothing is being done to change the situation

Barcelona has afforded one of the highest payrolls in football for a long time and if they are now successful again and finally reach the Champions League final, their value as a brand goes up and the will find ways to keep that payroll up. By the way, if you are a Barcelona player, what good reason is there to leave that club when you are playing with promising players like Yamal or all those top talents and well known superstars. The incentive to leave them is nonexistent unless you get an amazing offer from a club you always to play for. Manchester City, nobody knows how they will be doing next season and whether they play the Champions League. Maybe Liverpool could be interesting, but they are out too.

No young player would want to leave a club that is able to win the Champions League and rest assured, Barcelona isn't that worse situated that they can pay pennies only.

If a player isn't having a personal beef or been disrespectful to the manager, the coach is going to treat him adequately the ways of coach. Onana is good, I will continue to say this, his failure is their own incompetence and not doing well enough and he can't do most of the things they are doing here because the team is not looking soft and he is now suffering from their own consequences otherwise if there is much given from players, he will resprct itself to buy another ons.

Onana wouldn't take the team to top 10, so does the players but if they can come together and do strategic plans,
The team can defend any other teams that comes there way but you keep losing as a players and he doesn't get to say anything. Furthermore, Onana will continue to have a strong relationship with course he if he given another contract to sign, but for sure Onana will be there until his contract expires before they taking his bag, managers does the opposite most of the time what the public want the coach to do, they know even more than what we see as a tbe fans.

So now that Real Madrid is out from the Champions League is time to speculate.
Assuming that Carlo Ancellotti will leave at the end of the season.

Who will be the next real Madrid coach?

Xabi Alonso? Zidane again?

Xabi Alonso was unofficially named in the previous season as a potential successor of Carlo Ancelotti. However, regarding the actual season of Bayer Leverkusen, his candidature doesn't seem to be as solid as it used to be in the past. Real Madrid do need consistency more than ever especially with Mbappe and Vinicius Junior in the club together.
There is talks right now about Klopp joining the team even though he announced his retirement as a coach but who knows!
For Zidane he is an old candidate but we never know how does he thinks and how long he will stay out of the fields..

Ancelotti still has 1 year contract with Real Madrid. His contract expires in June 30, 2026. Unless Perez sacks him, Ancelotti will stay in Real Madrid for another season. However if Ancelotti decides to leave Real Madrid earlier, I'm sure Zidane is still he best option. Xabi Alonso may be the most reasonable coach for Real Madrid, but I think he won't easily improve Real Madrid performance. Xabi gets difficulty to maintain Leverkusen performance, how we can expect that Xabi will be better than Ancelotti?  Unfortunately, it is a very difficult task to bring back Zidane to Real Madrid. There are too many offers on him, but he always refuses it. I don't understand what Zidane wants with his career as a coach, whether he is still interested to manage a team or not. I assume he won't be back to be a coach/manager if he wants to prioritize his family.

I don't quite understand why it's bad news if the Saudis are willing to buy Onana? Selling him and buying/renting a more reliable goalkeeper would be a good option for United.
Amorim and the United management are in a difficult position as significant funds were spent under Ten Hag and to put it mildly the acquisitions were questionable (return of the spent funds is unlikely). Making new significant expenditures (as always in football without any guarantees) in such a situation is very difficult, but if the club wants to withstand competition with other contenders for the top it is necessary.

It's because Manchester United is not keen in selling him to the Saudis. Onana is also being so harsh in defending his position in Manchester United as well. It makes Amorim feels so desperate about how can he replace him with a proper goal keeper.

They can't sign quality players without sellin their players first.

I assume he won't be back to be a coach/manager if he wants to prioritize his family.

I also think Carlo Ancelotti will probably stay as coach of Real Madrid because his contract has been extended until 2026. Unless president of club Florentino Perez suddenly changes his mind Ancelotti will likely keep coaching team. If Ancelotti did leave Zinedine Zidane would be very good choice to replace him. He has coached Real Madrid before and was very successful. However it might be hard to get Zidane to come back. He looks to be very careful about which teams he coaches and he may want to spend more time with his family instead of coaching. Xabi Alonso is good coach but it might be difficult for him to do better than Ancelotti at Real Madrid. His current team Bayer Leverkusen has been doing well but it is not clear if he could make Real Madrid even better. So whether club hires new coach will depend on what they want for future. For now it looks like Ancelotti will continue to be coach.

I would bet on Xabi Alonso: he played for Real Madrid, he knows the environment, he's Spanish, he did very well with Leverkusen, it's the most logic move. I don't think we'll see, once again, Zidane. I read some rumors about Jurgen Klopp but right now he has a big role in the Red Bull ecosystem, and he started quite recently so it's unlikely he's going to resign.

Jurgen Klopp is much better because he has more proven coaching experience and he was also quite successful before at Liverpool. But as long as there are no disruptions or Ancelloti resigns maybe Real Madrid will be fine because it is not a big problem even if they fail in the Champions League or La Liga later.

There needs to be some additions to make Real Madrid stronger and if Ancelloti stays he will have to do that because now there are many problems in the defensive line in particular that need to be fixed.

Zidane I think we can discard, he only coached real Madrid and has not coached any other team since. Although for the fans of real Madrid it would be a great joy to see him sitting on the bench and coaching the team, I think the right name for the blancos is Xabi Alonso. He did very well with Bayer Leverkusen in the last two years, and besides as you have well specified he is a former real Madrid champion that the fans remember with great joy

They've not just lost the Champions League but they'll also lose the La Liga to Barcelona... the signs are crystal clear for all to see.
I agree, they'll both part ways together for good, it's time for them to look elsewhere.

I'd say Jurgen Klopp. He is a typical big club manager. I will love to see that happening.

Xabi Alonso I love bit not up to that task at the moment and Zidane? Sorry, Real Madrid should move on man quickly resigned after winning the third Champions league.

Xavi or Zidane, they'er all good. I'd not bet on them because they can suit Real Madrid well, but still value Zidane better than Xabi because of his three times UCL win in a row. If i must be honest, i'd put Zidane as my priority over Xavi. He's a proven coach and i like the way he managed the club.

Andre Onana made couple of mistakes that led to goal and this have made him lost his confidence as a goalie for Manchester United. Thereby forcing the hands of Ruben Amorim to give him some time off the pitch to clear his head. We know this was never the facts Onana came to Old Trafford to experience. He's been face with critics and shading comments from Manchester United ex player like Matic coming out publicly to say Andre Onana is the worst goalkeeper in Manchester United history, this talks pointed at Onana have made him dropped heavily in form. I think he can make a loan deal out of the club because the tension that follows his role is high, everyone expects him deliver as he always do when he was in Inter Milan, but they're forgetting something, Seria A and EPL are entirely different team's and moreover, Inter Milan was and is still a better club than Manchester United.

I could remember when Amorim newly took over as United manager from Ten Hag, Onana was never part of the players on Amorim list for sale, because he had believe in Onana. However, as time passes on Onana mistakes became part of him which has affected the final outcome of their matches a lot. I am in support of selling Onana, and get a replacement for him.
