⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Polkeins]

It's official that Inter Milan have made Cristian Chivu their new coach, he's a former Inter Milan defender and coach at age - 19 for Inter Milan and has been promoted to senior coach.

Still don't know how Cristian Chivu will handle a big club because this might be his first time?
I think he will bring changes after Inzhagi left, waiting to see how he makes a strategy or overhaul of his squad for this season.

Maybe he will only become temporary coach, just like other teams that fill coaches only until they find as their target. Maybe Inter still continue to look for another coach after their target Fabregas will probably not choose another team other than Como in Serie-A. However, if Chivu becomes a coach until the middle of the season and has good results, it is not impossible that he will be made the main coach till end of seasons (at least).

I think Chivu could be a good option, but for a team like Inter, which has played in the UCL finals in two of the last three years, more experienced managers should be brought in to achieve their goals. It would be better if there were experienced players who knew Italy. I don't know if it's right to try Chivu.

Before Inter, Kivu was head coach of Parma for only 13 games and although there were no particular failures, as well as successes, so as a coach Kivu was quite cautious.
Most likely the departure of Inzaghi was sudden, and therefore Inter just did not have time to agree with any of the big coaches, and Fabregas, on whom Inter was counting on the management of Como was able to keep.
So far it looks like the invitation of Tiago Motta to Juventus, which ended badly and with Kivu I think will be the same.

Atalanta decided to hire Ivan Juric as head coach, he just got out of the EPL with Southampton and became free. So not only Inter wants to go back 10 years, but Atalanta as well until they hire Gasperini.

All the big coaches we all know of today started like Cristian Chivu and they graduated into becoming the experienced coaches that we admire today, So for now, I'm not expecting him to perform any miracle, but if he does, that will be interesting. However. Even the Inter knew of this and that's why he's being given only a two year contract to manage the club and for the management to examine his capacity and if he does incredibly well, I believe Inter Milan won't even let him go after the expiration of his two years contract, So it's left to the manager to prove his capacity at the senior team level.

[Amphenomenon]

I highly doubt Inter are making this move just to test if he will be good till around mid season before going for a better option because this is the best time for picking a coach rather than testing, now he can get the players he want, build the team as he do pleases before the season officially start. While I agree this is a gamble or a risky move, I have come to accept he is their option at least for a season since he will or has been given a two year deal, I guess in the worst case he will be sack during this season if he fails terribly to do well.

It doesn't make sense to sign a temporary contract to keep him till the middle of the season. This is the best time to get any players or coaches you want. The simple truth is that Cristian Chivu is the best choice based on the assessment of the management and they l believe in him. Bayern Munich gambled by appointing Vincent Kompany as the new coach, and he didn't disappoint the management. Chivu wouldn't be announced as the new head coach of Inter until next week since he is still under contract with Parma,

Yes this is the fact and I think they were avoiding big names because Cesc Fabregas was their first choice and since he chooses to remain at Como they would have accessed Chivu and opt for him, giving him a two year deal which likely can be extended if he can do well, possibly like Kompany by lifting the Serie A title since they came close this season.

No one should underestimate Chivu because we don't know much about his quality yet. This was how I and my friends underestimated Kompany when Bayern just hired him same time last season, we all criticized him but look at his achievement this season. Don't judge a book by the cover because you don't know the content. I believe Chivu will surprise a lot of people.

 Ange Postecoglou gives his last speech as a Tottenham manager, after a serious deliberation by the board they've finally relieved him of his job, I saw that coming anyways, despite winning a major trophy for them and qualifying for the Champions League, I knew they were going to sack him based on the teams poor performance in the EPL, well he's done his best and kept to his words by winning a trophy in his second season with Tottenham.

 Can't wait to see who Tottenham would appoint as their next manager but according to Ben Jacobs, Tottenham's considering Marco Silva and Thomas Frank as the next in line to replace Postecoglou, those are Premier League experienced coaches but not major trophy winners, if Tottenham wants to do well in the Champions League they should go for someone with Champions League experience, except their priority for the next season is fmishing in a better position than they did in the last one.

Inter Milan makes move for two years as 44 years old already sign contract and this is officially statement from both sides it's going to be interesting because he coached Parma for just 13 games and his performance was not good but Inter Milan is still heading for this gamble. Now going with choices like these are not new because many cases have good success so Inter Milan is also heading for this two years contract but it's always on cards if he fails to deliver then surely they will sack him and for another option I was sure they could be able to have coach which they are looking for but things not gone favourable for them so they have to done this.

Cese Fabregas is having another season at Como this is good for him because now this could be test case for him at high level hopefully he will be able to perform good and then Inter Milan will be taking this chance in future.

[Polkeins]

Roma have announced the appointment of Pierre Gasperini as head coach. The contract is until 2028.
https://www.asroma.com/en

Very interesting decision, especially knowing the difficult character of Gasperini, he has his own opinion, often quarrels with players and kicks out those who are not ready to play his game. Roma is not Atalanta and it will be interesting how long the Roma management can tolerate Gasperini.

I think for both Atalanta and Gasperini leaving Atalanta is rather a bad experience, because for 10 years Atalanta management got used to Gasperini's coaching decisions, and he has already established a system of selecting promising players and their subsequent sale to top clubs, and was able to bring Atalanta to the top clubs in Serie A.

Still small news so far, even if market is officially open.

According to bbc

Viktor Gyokeres may go to Manchester United.
Arsenal have on their list Morgan Rogers and Igor Paixao for this summer
Manchester United's is going for Bryan Mbeumo.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Rodrygo to Arsenal would be a great addition to the club but my problem is not getting in players to come and stay for like 3-4 seasons without trophy, we all know how reckless Arsenal are and now is like a curse to win a trophy or a taboo,nthat's not good for someone (Rodrygo) who have won so much at Madrid.
Kepa to Arsenal I still don't know how that move would help the Gunners in anyway, they have Raya and the second choice so why is Kapa coming into the picture? To me this is a waste of investment, it is better to go for a striker instead of going for something that is the least of their problem.

Arsenal dont need a goalkeeper so i doubt they will get a goalkeeper in this transfer window so its honestly a waste of money to replace Raya. Rodrigo would be really good but i doubt he will leave Real Madrid for Arsenal. Still he has good playing time in Real Madrid and i dont think they will drop him so easily

Honestly it is a big waste to get a goalkeeper instead they are suppose to go for a CB as a replacement for either Gabriel and Saliba should in case any of them isn't fit to play at least that would be a better investment for the team. Even if they get a goalkeeper who would stay on the bench for who because both goalkeepers are first team players so I feel is a waste unless Arteta plans on dropping Raya for Kepa.
I think Rodrygo has to leave Madrid because of how the team has been. I even thought he'd leave Madrid this past season but he stayed. Even if Arsenal don't get him maybe another club would, let's say Madrid finally move Mbappe from the attacking position to the wing what do you think will happen to the winger? He had to stay for the new attacker to play while Mbappe and Vinicius Jr to start, it can happen you know.

If you remember back then, when Inzaghi handled Inter, many said that Inter would enter a dark era. Many were pessimistic about his quality because Inzaghi was not an experienced coach, he could only get minor trophies such as the Coppa Italia or Super Coppa. But the proof is that he gave 6 trophies in 4 years with Inter Milan and now he has moved, many regret it but that was Inzaghi's decision.

Now Chivu is his replacement, Chivu when he was still a player he had brought Inter the treble (champion mentality) and when he coached Inter Primavera, he also gave the Primavera title, he brought Parma out of the relegation zone. Many big Serie A clubs were even defeated by the Parma squad whose quality was far below the quality of the Inter squad. So, Inter's choice to choose Chivu was not a mistake, it had been thought through carefully.

Moreover, now the trend is young coaches, like when Kompany first came to Bayern Munich. So, let's give Chivu a chance to prove his capacity and don't judge him first. And of course, Inter fans must support all elements of Inter including the arrival of Chivu as Inter coach for the next two years.

Despite the fact that Rodrigo is young, he already has two Champions Leagues, three La Liga and a bunch of other cups, he could very well play for a couple of seasons without trophies, but he is guaranteed to be in the starting lineup. It seems to me that he wants to achieve something with the national team more, because in recent years (many years haha) the Brazilian national team has only been disappointing.
As for Arsenal, maybe they will win at least the FA Cup in the coming years, it will be very strange if their progress (which cannot be denied) does not transform into at least some kind of achievement.

I thought Ange Postecoglou would be given one more season to handle Tottenham after helping the club to end its seventeen-year trophy drought. The Dane said he wanted to stay in Gtech Community Stadium for one more season, but it seems Chairman Daniel Levy and the board made the decision to sack him based on his performance in the Premier League and not the Europa League.

Thomas Frank guided Brentford to finish tenth this season, even with a smaller budget than Tottenham.I see this time as the end of an era with players like Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa likely to leave. Hoping that Frank will start a prosperous new era.

I don't understand, did this man sign that if he wins them a trophy that he'd leave the club or is Tottenham allergic to winning trophies 🤔? As far as I know this manager is one of the best, he did changed something in that team only thing he needs is getting players to make the team ready for the challenges ahead but the board wants to kick him out and any manager that joins the team might not do as Postecoglou did, like which is more important to them, winning a trophy and ending the season trophyless? Fine Postecoglou messed up in the EPL but he did what some of the coaches could not do but Mourinho almost did before they sacked him, this choice the board are taking, is a no no for me and I feel they're going to regret it.

[Coyster]

City now has a new left back, they have signed Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolves and this is indeed a significant development for the club, the left back position is one in which City have been short in, they have played Gvardiol in that position and even Nico O'Reilly. That said, with Ait-Nouri now a City player, Pep no longer has to play Gvardiol at left back, but in his natural center back position. It is going to be an interesting next season for City, and there are more transfers coming in, Cherki is next, here we go is expected soon.

What i have to say is that Inter Milan is an already built team with lots of great talents, they don't really need a coach with so much decoration but a coach who will understand the team's football ethics and apply wisdom to manage the team without problems. Cristian Chivu is not that experienced but for the fact that he once played for Inter Milan shows that he understands the club's ethics and will apply the right tactics to see that the club is successful. We shouldn't condemn him too much till he starts his duty at the club, and we see how his activity will be at the club. A day begins a story, he might be lucky and lead the team to victories. Let us not forget the case of Vincent Kompany when he became Bayern Munich's head coach and we doubted his capacity but he took us all by surprise and got a wonderful first season with Bayern Munich so Chivu should not be underrated.

De Bruyne is getting closer to signing for Napoli day by day...

Honestly I'm quite surprised to see him staying in Europe.    Because I thought he would choose money and sign for a Saudi team in his last years of his career. Or for an MLS team maybe. But he decided to stay in Europe. Conte would make use of him for sure. I don't expect him to go back to his prime though. The only player who is able to do it must be Salah these days. But the KDB quality would still be useful for Napoli in another title run undoubtedly.

With his current quality and form, he can have an excellent season in Serie A especially at Napoli.Lukaku would be over the moon if Kevin joins this summer.And as you said, Conte will definitely know how to use him, plus he can combine him with the brilliant McTominay, who was the MVP of the league.All in all, if Napoli manages to sign Kevin, it would be an outstanding move.

Considering all the rumours there will be no problems in making the deal, besides it has been prepared for a very long time, which only confirms the ease of signing it. Kevin has finally played at a very good level this season, and I think the reason for that is that he hasn't been plagued by injuries like before. In terms of injuries he is generally a fragile player and it has been an inconvenience throughout his career, but now it seems to be ok

Kevin De Bruyne is a great player and can do a lot in Napoli. I think he will adapt to the Italian league immediately. I also think it is too early to go to Saudi Arabia because he is a successful player. He will play in Napoli ready for new challenges. I am one of those who think he can be successful. I couldn't even understand Manchester City sending him.

I don't think he's at the level to play at manchester city with a better commitment anymore. Yes he is good and can still show a good game, but to be the best in his position..... I doubt it. Plus, if he gets injured suddenly, he will be out of the game for a few months, so MC have probably already looked at another player for that position. Manchester City are starting to rebuild a bit at all

I don’t know some of us here might feel about this news, but it’s a sad news in my opinion because he put in his best effort towards winning the URFA Europa League. He rescued the team from not winning a trophy for almost 20 years, he made the team very proud as he won a European trophy which should be something the management should be happy on, but their decision of sacking him was the best for them.

Nevertheless, he has broke the deadlock and they will definitely be proud of him especially the players because they are happy they won the Europa League.

Can't wait to see who Tottenham would appoint as their next manager but according to Ben Jacobs, Tottenham's considering Marco Silva and Thomas Frank as the next in line to replace Postecoglou, those are Premier League experienced coaches but not major trophy winners, if Tottenham wants to do well in the Champions League they should go for someone with Champions League experience, except their priority for the next season is fmishing in a better position than they did in the last one.

They are used to sacking managers despite how good they did, therefore, I will not expect any reputable manager to join the team because they will sack him regardless of well he performed for the team.

Ange spent exactly two years and won them a European trophy; while Arteta of Arsenal spent five years and he is yet to win any official trophy for the team and he is still there because the team management are very patient and believed in him. Ange also had a better first season in the Premier League, I think he doesn’t deserve this treatment at all.

However, let’s wait and see who they will sign and what can he do in the Premier League.

Still small news so far, even if market is officially open.

According to bbc

Viktor Gyokeres may go to Manchester United.
Arsenal have on their list Morgan Rogers and Igor Paixao for this summer
Manchester United's is going for Bryan Mbeumo.

I think the transfer news isn’t hitting up big at the moment because of the international football and due to the immediate conclusion of the market, I feel most clubs are accessing their squad and also looking at their finances to see who to go for and who to sell off.

Viktor Gyokeres seems the only option left for Manchester United among the options in the market. It was reported earlier that even if Manchester United goes for any striker it wouldn’t be Osimhen this automatically ruled him out. The club primary target was Liam Delap who signed already for Chelsea, this leaves Manchester United with Gyokeres. Arsenal were the clear club to rival them for the signature to Viktor but all indications shows that they are going for Benjamin Sesko at the moment.

Gyokeres was the highest goals scorer in number of goals in top European leagues last season and he already played under Amorim before which should be a problem but the problem will be will he come to a club without European football next season.

As for Mbeumo I think Manchester United are really trying to be the deal done with as they have submitted yet another improved offer to Brentford and if it get accepted then personal terms wouldn’t be a huge problem in my opinion since the players priority is Manchester United already

[LGD2Business]

I think Victor Osimhen will go to Al Hilal. Al Hilal has made the offer to Napoli, transfer fee 70 million Euro, while Napoli wants 75 million Euro. They'll take care of the 5 million Euro in between. Osimhen will be given 30 million Euro a year. No other team could pay such a high salary.
I think this transfer is the best for all 3 parties. Napoli gets the transfer fee they want. Osimhen gets a great salary. Al Hilal is also buying a top class striker that they can't find elsewhere. Not playing in Europe during the prime period is a disadvantage, but in the end these players play for money and there is not much they can do against these irrefutable offers.

[Obari]

Commitment is definitely what every managers should position themselves and fight for. Pep Guardiola will always be present to strengthen his club, you know why? He's a genius and have always been the very top ranking member at Etihad stadium. The management and the fans wouldn't forget so early what Pep Guardiola did for them. He came and conquered, tell me how many coaches can boldly do what he's done. Manchester City have build a club where we get to watch the stunning performance of the individual players, they have accomplished alot already and it'd been an incredible for them.
