⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[hyudien]

I thought the Blues are making plans to sign him when the transfer window open next year if he is also link to Tothenham not a bad move for him.

Rodrygo was playing well under the watch of formal Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, one of the young star who was scoring important goals for Real Madrid but when Xabi Alonso arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu things became horrible for Rodrigo. He should go to a team where he can be playing regularly and not where he will come in few minutes to stoppage time, he is a good player and seeing his career die under Xabi Alonso is bad.

Chelsea could be a good destination for Rodrygo, but considering the greater competition he faces to become a first-team player, I don't think it's a good decision. I'm sure Chelsea will give him a chance early on, but if Rodrygo doesn't succeed, he could end up like other Chelsea new signings who only play a few games and then only play as a substitute, or could be sold or loaned to another team. Spurs might be a more sensible place in my opinion, but Rodrygo definitely has to go if Xabi still doesn't fully trust him. This also applies to Endrick.

First of all, I don't think Real Madrid would be willing to let go off one of the best player in the squad just because of a trivial issue like this, Vini is one of best players available in the Real Madrid squad and I don't think the club would want to let him go without a suitable replacement, and even if the player should want to leave, I don't think Manchester United would be the players preferred destination considering the club's absence in the champions league this season and perhaps there still not concrete evidence to show that Manchester United will feature in next season's edition of the UCL.

Hated, Adored but never ignored. I totally understand the obsession for Manchester United. Not the media, non fans and non fans can go a day without mentioning Manchester United. 
To be blunt, Manchester United are not looking to sign a Vinicius Jr at the moment. That is far from what they need. They're in need of midfielders and defenders likewise a left winger which we can consider a specialist. I don't see Vinicius filling any of these positions I mentioned above so, take this a speculations or PR to show his importance on the pitch. He could really be sold, I see they will want to build around Kylian Mbappe and Arda Güler.

What obsession for Manchester United from fans are you implying about, because I don't understand how a speculation about a possible move of a certain player rumoured to be linked to Manchester United has become an obsession among fans and media about Manchester United. Has United isn't even close to the achievements of Real Madrid in European football so I wonder where all the obsession is coming from.

On the other hand, I can agree with you about the need for midfielders and defenders for Manchester United as the club is very much lacking the quality in those departments.

Chelsea needs a capable and productive center forward who can score goals more than it needs a winger. Chelsea already has many wingers. Meanwhile, in the center forward position, Chelsea has a blunt player named Liam Delap who is often made a starter. Unfortunately, in the transfer market last summer, Chelsea did not hunt for a center forward but instead bought a poor-quality center forward named Liam Delap.

I don't want to know the amount they have on this very player Rodrygo all I know is that he doesn't deserve to be at Madrid because of how things are for him at the club, he seems left out of the team and should Spurs get him I feel they're going to be much better and stronger than they are now. Will Rodrygo rediscover himself if he leaves Madrid?

Lost of form was never the reason why Rodrygo is not playing at Real Madrid. The coach don't just like him and don't have him in his plan. At this point it is better for both parties to part ways. Rodrygo will get into the starting lineup of any team he chooses to go so I don't see the real why he should be a bench warmer just because he wants to be in real Madrid. Rodrygo is not the type of player that will struggle in a team as he's a talented player. He should leave Madrid in January.

With how defensively weak Chelsea are, I expected them to be more interested in defensive options and not going for more attackers which they already have a high number of already. Chelsea's defense is their weakest, if they can concede less goals and be less reckless in receiving red cards, they will really do well. I am thinking that is the direction the team should go.

Who is thinking the same thing?

Xabi Alonso have never said that he dislikes Rodrygo hence his decision not to regularly feature him in Real Madrid's games. He only said that Rodrygo is a natural left wing forward player just like Vinicius Jr but because Vinicius is the better player in that position, he'll not play him from the right wing side just like Carlo Ancelotti was playing him. That's why he's always coming in for Vinicius in the last minutes and sometimes like in the game against Barcelona, Vinicius doesn't like it.
So yeah, I also feel staying on the bench on regular basis isn't the best option for Rodrygo who should be enjoying football in his prime. Maybe a loan move in January to a club that'll give him more playing opportunities to reinstate himself again as one of the best players ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup

[Amphenomenon]

Rodrygo will be a good addition for us especially if he can get back to his best, our attacking prowess will definitely increase and he can become our most dangerous winger but still the main issue here for me why I think it is better not to have an high expectations on them signing him, is from the fact that the wage demand might be an issue here for us and this is why we still don't have an excellent nine like Victor Osimhen.

As far as i know, Rodrygo isn't as productive as he was for Real Madrid during the Champions League games and looking at the structure of Chelsea currently, they need a player who is still at his peak and i think Victor Osimhen should be a target for them instead of Rodrygo. Victor Osimhen is more fierce than Rodrygo and his scoring prowess is also a good advantage for Chelsea to consider signing him.

The two players are completely different. Osimhen is a striker, while Rodrygo is a good winger. In my opinion, Chelsea could sign both players and bring them into the team. Both players have the quality to elevate Chelsea. By signing Osimhen, they would solve the problem at the front. Rodrygo would also solve the problem on the wings. So, if Chelsea can do it, I think they should bring both players into the team.

Chelsea has lost out already on signing Osimhen, getting him now will be more expensive than before and we still have to talk about wage structures which made the deal fell out the last time.

Rodrygo is good but Chelsea still will look at the cost and I think since it will affect our wage structure it won't work well except his world class form happens continually for us.

[red4slash]

I think for now the conditions in the first half of the season can actually be a benchmark for Rodrygo because after all now his position has begun to erode and is only a rotation option considering Xabi seems to prefer to give places to several young players which makes this possible consideration by Rodrygo.

Indeed, Xabi still gives Rodrygo playing time, but it's often not as a starter, and it's only a very small amount. Rodrygo is a good player, but unfortunately, there are too many players with similar potential and competition at the club. So far for Real Madrid this season, he's only appeared in 10 matches, totaling just 255 minutes in La Liga, and three matches totaling 104 minutes in the Champions League. His overall performance is still only 359 minutes, which is certainly not optimal. Furthermore, Rodrygo has only contributed two assists without any goals.

The rumors are getting hotter and hotter for Madrid as Rodrygo seems to be getting fed up with the situation and wants to leave the squad but what makes it worse is that there are a lot of players who are rumored to be unhappy with some of Xabi's decisions now especially with the way he coaches.

Since Ancelotti's time the players were left free on the field to do whatever they wanted but Xabi wants to change this pattern to have more vision but some players are not happy with this decision according to some current reports.

Obviously if this situation is true then this will be very disturbing for Madrid's performance because later there will be no continuity between the wishes of the players and the coach which makes the performance disturbed but hopefully this is just an exaggerated rumor especially when Madrid is currently in a condition that is quite awake.

Two clubs are interested in Internacional stopper Vitao. Flamengo and Beşiktaş are keen on the transfer. Internacional want 10 million Euro for him. In the summer Galatasaray offered 10 million Euro but it was rejected. Now it's almost certain that Vitao will leave Internacional. If Beşiktaş buy him, they can make him their new right stopper. Beşiktaş couldn't settle on a tandem. Emirhan plays well on the left but the right stopper is constantly changing. There are Paulista, Uduokhai and Djalo, but Beşiktaş couldn't find a foreign stopper like they wanted. Vitao has European experience. He played for Shakhtar for 3 seasons until the war broke out in Ukraine. I think he will have no problem adapting to European football. If Beşiktaş can reduce the cost of this transfer, it will be a very good addition to the squad.

Some of you fans are just too bias or quick to blame managers whenever it’s a manager vs player issue, how can you say he was playing well under Ancelloti and that his problem started with Alonso. Was Alonso Real Madrid manager last season when the player was actually suffering under for form. Rodrigo difficulty started last season under the management of Ancelotti and it was a personal problem that the player himself reported this season, he was even lined up for sale before Alonso even signed in,

The reason it is difficult for him to get playing minutes under Xabi Alonso is simply because he the manager doesn’t wants to experiment a right winger on the right wing again rather he uses left wingers like Arder Guler and Mustantuno and it has bene working for him or you want him to switch what’s winning him matches to suit in players, if you look at the squad he isn’t the only one affected by this.

The players wants to still be pampered just as they were pampered by Ancelotti and allowed to do whatever they want to do and Alonso doesn't subscribe to that. Before after a game some of the players take a day off and go wherever they wanted and resume 2 or 3 days after and Ancelotti was ok with that. Now it's no longer the same with Alonso. I have noticed that on the field, the players have improved, at this time of the season before now Real Madrid doesn't have 31 points to their name and I'm even happy that Alonso has the backings of Perez to discipline the players.

There's been rumors that Messi has signed a temporary contract to move to Galatasaray in January.. who knows if this is legit? Fabrizio Romano has Posted about it and I think it is but I still needed confirmations. This is going to be a good one for osimhen as it's every players.dream to play with the GOAT. Next world cup will be fire for real-- everybody is warming up to stay sober for the competition.

It's just a cheap rumor. As far as i know Messi already signed a new contract with Miami until 2028. Miami has also rejected some approaches to sign him as a loan by several top clubs in europe. It's impossible to let him go even if Galatasaray has interest to sign him even as a loan only.

Do people still believe that any of Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo will ever sign professional deal with a European club to play football again? That's almost impossible if you ask me. These guys have gone past their prime and are very much aware that they're not energetic enough to compete in the biggest competitions in Europe and are currently playing less competitive leagues. Lionel Messi will never return to Europe talk more of signing for Galatasaray, not because he's ineligible to do that but because he'll most likely not live up to expectations of club fans and that will leave a dent to his illustrious career.  

I mean, it was a news that came out and almost got our attentions tilted... Either of those two guys can still get to have a chance in a European club; especially a club where they both contributed to almost half of its historical records. I haven't seen any recent updates on the news, but something in me really wants to see a combo-- at least for a month or two -- of a Nigerian player in the same team with the mighty Argentine.
Talking about leaving a dent on his career? You talk like you don't even know who's this we're talking about. Messi still has what it takes to even beat the imagination of the fans in the Turkish league.

It has been claimed that AC Milan is interested in Mauro Icardi. Allegri wants to strengthen the team, but why would they want to sign someone so old and constantly injured? Icardi is a far cry from his Inter days. He played very poorly at PSG, scored very few goals and then moved to Galatasaray. There, he faced lower-level opponents and no longer has the stamina to keep up with Serie A's pace. If AC Milan signs him, they'll likely regret it. They should look for better options.

Who says Rodrygo lost himself? Rodrygo is still very much in shape and have been balling for Real Madrid. There's not a time we've not seen the player showing up in big games. What's Tottenham Hotspur doing in the picture? We know how desperate Spurs want to start scouting better players for the club and upgrading the team's performance. The EPL side are ways ready to bring in starlers but these players in question wouldn't want to ruin their reputation and start playing for a team that finds it really hard to earn themselves a major trophy. I mean no disrespect or making Tottenham Hotspur feel inferior about their club, but they really need to step up because winning games is nothing compare to lifting trophies.

Rodrygo Goes form already declined when Ancelotti was still in charge of Real Madrid and I guess you were not watching Real Madrid matches of not you would have noticed that it was even Ancelotti that started benching him due to his decline in form..Alonso had nothing to do with this. Alonso is not the cause of Rodrygo's problems, he was the one that lost form which is normal in football as well.

Where do y'all get these rumors from? I read one that said there are underground negotiations to release Vini jnr from the team, then another public disclaimer said something else against it . What are we suppose to believe? I just hope this is not just another cooked up shit from the fans to gain public attention.
Rodrygo is a very effective player; in the sense that he's very versatile, from both wings, he can do the unimaginable and he's a perfect replacement for Vini, but I think the team doesn't want to have him as a first choice for his position.

The players wants to still be pampered just as they were pampered by Ancelotti and allowed to do whatever they want to do and Alonso doesn't subscribe to that. Before after a game some of the players take a day off and go wherever they wanted and resume 2 or 3 days after and Ancelotti was ok with that.

Ancellotti doesn't seem to be a very soft guy like you may think... That's a tough guy right there, always standing on business and discipline. I haven't been in their dressing rooms, training pitches and lecture halls to know better, but the strategy from Lotti worked perfectly.

Conditions like this will always happen a lot because after all we must be aware that when there is a big club or a big enough player who is in rumors then there will certainly be a lot of parties trying to take advantage to get traffic or sensation because after all that is how they work, especially some media that are still quite small who always take advantage of the gap regardless of the news is true or not.

We have certainly seen this before such as when Mbappe was in the drama of Madrid and PSG or even Osimhen who in the last few seasons has always been a rumor that is much discussed and now the phase has entered the winter transfer so that we will see a lot of news no matter whether credible or not.
I guess we'll just have to see what happens in the future because believing any of the rumors that are circulating now when the media is not very credible or not from a direct source (club or player) is obviously a little difficult.

What do you think is the reason why Ac Milan has failed to improve, even after having some great names and personalities as part of their squad? Someone like Luka Modric wasn't supposed to be handed a contract in a club that wants to grow. He's 40 and very old to be performing very effective like he used to, but it seems to like Ac Milan's president is interested in a player's name, instead of their abilities.
When the reality hits them hard and they lose to a very small team in their local league, they're not able to show up to the champions league like they use to,  they don't even fit into any category, I'm just quite! Now, they want to sign a striker, and the best person of interest is Icardi?

It is highly likely that if he leaves, it will be to an English Premier League club. Many English Premier League clubs are interested in Rodrygo as long as the price is right and not too expensive. Meanwhile, other elite and wealthy clubs such as Bayern Munich and PSG are not interested. Italian clubs will definitely find it difficult to meet Rodrygo's transfer fee and salary demands.
chelsea, arsenal, manchester united and tottenham hotspur They are very interested in Rodrygo and financially capable of buying him.

There, he faced lower-level opponents and no longer has the stamina to keep up with Serie A's pace. If AC Milan signs him, they'll likely regret it. They should look for better options.

Mauro Icardi performed well in Galatasaray initially until he began to suffer from injuries. He is still loved by the club fans and coach Okan Buruk still sees the Argentine international as an important player. Victor Osimhen may not be available for a few weeks due to the African Nations Cup. Icardi would be useful to the team, so I don4 think he would be allowed to leave in January.

However, AC Milan might gain experience from Icardi, but in terms of performance on the pitch, his strength has decreased. They should sign a younger player if they want to upgrade their attack.
