⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Sandra_hakeem]

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.

It's insane that the media have polluted the whole space and it's even going to get worse than this. Maybe we'll just have to get it purged and clean, safe, far away from those hungry click bait creators? That's not possible so I'd stick to the old trick-- DYOR!!

The recent rumor suggest that how Rodrygo is strongly linked to the Chelsea's move. Even some Madrid fans page already tweeted how Chelsea is in direct contact with Real Madrid over Rodrygo's transfer for the summer or winter window.

Rodrygo is lacking of minutes there. He's also unable to retain his position due to the being excluded by Xabi. I see no reason for him to stay even if Madrid is one of best team in the world.
I've heard Madrid might price him like 50m euros, which i think it's affordable for Chelsea considering he's a fully developed player.

I just hope they're able to secure a contract with Rodrygo honestly. I don't know why we all seem to underrate this guys all of a sudden; he just doesn't get enough flowers for the little time he's allowed to perform. At this point, he needs to hit the road for a team that can allow him free up every he has; we all know COLD Palmer's story when he was at Man city right? Even as an Englishman, the treatment wasn't helping.

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?

Sure, leaving Real Madrid now is the best option for Rodrigo and I'm very sure of that. Sometimes, a player just needs a new challenge to improve on his capabilities and rediscover himself. Rodrigo has been performing poorly recently at real Madrid or maybe he is just getting out shined by fate. So far this season, he has 0 goals and 0 assists so far in his 10 match appearances this season. However, I would say that the price tag put on him is a bit high of which it's not also very underserving. It is good that he is open to leave because fans have also lost hope in him.

I won't blame them I mean the fans for not seeing him as anything special anymore, is because of the way Alonso kept him on the bench like he doesn't have anything to offer and him leaving is indeed a good move even the man Endrick should also consider making a permanent move if not the bench would be weak to hold his weight for too long that's if he choose to fight for his place and is also all Alonso's doing. Rodrygo was one of the best players in the la Liga when things was going well for him and also for Madrid, the partnership between Vinicius and Rodrygo was one of the best and we all know opposition defenders are too scared of approaching when they attack but now things people say about Madrid they hardly mention Rodrygo on the mix base on his current situation, instead he's just the guy who comes in at the last minute of the game when the fun is no longer there.
I can't remember the last time he scored for the club due to lack of playing time and if you ask me I'd say the amount is even small for the kind of player that he is and we have seen the positivity he brings to the team, no manager wouldn't like to have such a player for his club, it will be another great addition to Spurs if they choose to continue with the chase for him.

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.

I thought so too but I also read somewhere that they haven't made any contact to do business with the player, don't know how true that is but whichever way it turns out either Rodrygo joining Chelsea or Spurs it will be a big win for the player to escape lack of playing time.
Honestly the arrival of Alonso changed the set up of the players, like the rotation became hard for some of the players who was once first team players, now he doesn't have Rodrygo at heart to start and finish any game like before and if he doesn't get that playing time he might miss the call up to the national team for the world, this is what every player in the football World are avoiding, sitting on the bench every week, is too sad.

It was confirmed on Fabrizio's YouTube channel that the news about Rodrygo joining Chelsea is fake; there has been no such talk to date. Similarly, the news about Rodrygo joining Tottenham has not been confirmed. Although he is often reported to be dissatisfied with his playing time at Real Madrid, there has been no strong indication that he is leaving Real Madrid at this time. He remains a key player under Xabi, competing with Vini Jr., at least in the starting lineup.

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.

I think you got it wrong there brother, I never said anything about the player not playing well that's why the manager never wanted to make use of him and is not about disliking the players too, no. If you say Alonso don't have him in his plan I'll agree but the other things you said I disagree.
I don't know how it will be but if he finally finds his way out from the team I believe Madrid will miss him and again, the club have so many good talents in the bench but the opportunity for them to play is not given at all that's why I also wish for Endrick and Rodrygo to make a move out or else lose their form completely.

[Adbitco]

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.

Yeah and according to the last summer transfer rumours, Chelsea l, Liverpool and Arsenal were the 3 main candidates that were mentioned to sign him especially Arsenal and Liverpool but right now I don't even see a space for him anymore in the team. Initially I thought Diaz was sold to create space for Rodrygo in the Liverpool team. As it stands I don't think there's space for him in these two teams maybe Chelsea and Tottenham will have.

I guess we have a very different opinion of what a key player is because I really don't understand how someone could say that Rodrygo is a key player. He barely plays, he barely scores, younger players have more playing time than him, he's also jeopardizing his spot for the next World Cup because, unless things change, I don't see how he deserves to be called to the Brazilian national team.

Rodrygo should do like Endrick and go somewhere else in January, it would be the best move for him.

When I watch Rodrygo I can see how good he can be, but for some reason he is not scoring now so it looks bad at him I agree. I can't deny that he is not playing very well with 0 games in 28 games even if he is not playing the full game time.

But he is still a top player that can maybe do something for Brazil in 2026. Who else do they need to call if not Rodrygo? Not many better players than him that play in big teams and can handle the pressure.

Sunderland seems feel not yet satisfied with their our current squad, and looking for a midfielder to be signed. They are targeting Fermin Lopez to strengthen their mid, and ready to offer Barcelona 80m for him. Crazy to see how this club has so much money, and keep spending after they spent a lot in the last summer window.
I don't think moving to the Sunderland is a bad move for Lopez. I know Sunderland ain't big as Barcelona. However, the offer is too tempting to reject. 80m as it's pretty big to help them in paying the fees they owed from the various clubs.

Shall Barcelona sell him to the Sunderland? Interesting to see how this story will be going on.

While I know that Barcelona is in debt, and premier league teams make a lot of money, Sunderland to spend 80 million on Fermin Lopez makes no sense to me, financially. Barcelona shouldn't want to sell him, but let's assume that 80 millions is a lot and they have to say yes for the money, then Fermi Lopez shouldn't want to go, and in some bizarre situation lets say he also says yes, then Sunderland shouldn't want to spend 80 million on a player, maybe it won't work? That would be a huge gamble that would see them go horrible.

This is a risk by all sides, like how some deals are making all sides happy? This would be to much risk for literally all parties involved. I am not sure if they should do this at all.

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.

Messi can still compete in the Turkish league but it will definitely be hard and I also don’t think Messi will go back to any European competition before his retirement, but if Barcelona has interest in signing him back I think Messi might accept to offer to give them the farewell he promised buh if not Barca, I don’t see messi playing in Europe again. The Messi you’re talking about isn’t same again, I mean look at his performance in his last ligue 1 season at PSG.

You are absolutely right to question it. An £80 million move for Fermin Lopez from Sunderland seems far fetched on multiple levels. Barcelona, even with their financial issues, would likely see more value in keeping a rising talent like Fermin rather than cashing. And for Sunderland, it would be a massive gamble both financially and competitively.

Wolves have appointed Rob Edwards as their new manager, his been a very good coach after coaching with the wolves U18 and U23 leaving Middlesbrough to sigh for Wolves senior team his childhood club, where he spent most of his playing career and where he also started his coaching career as an U18 coach and U23 coach before he left for Middlesbrough as a head coach, and how it’s more important that he takes this opportunity, this kind of opportunity comes but only once, checking on his records Middlesbrough are sitting comfortably in a playoff position in the Championship.

Wolves now looks like a team that means business with this appointment that they have made, they will be looking to resurrect their season and looking to avoid relegation which will be the task for Rob Edward’s, he is yet to manage in the Premier League, so we would see what he is going to do with this wolves team, because the primary goal would be to avoid relegation, after signing a 3 and a half year contract with the Wolverhampton Wonderers.

Rodrygo should do like Endrick and go somewhere else in January, it would be the best move for him.

The statement that Rodrygo is a top player is debated. He is known for his exceptional dribbling skills and his ability to perform in important games. He has proved in the past that his individual effort can change the course of important games. But has faced stiff competition in Real Madrid which has limited his playing time. Due to this inconsistency in playing time, he has not fully proved himself to be in the same class as his competitors. Lack of playing time could affect the morale of players and reduce their productivity. My take is that the Brazilian would become a well-recognised top player. Maybe he should consider moving away from Real Madrid, where he would play in every game, no matter how bad he performs.

The Messi you’re talking about isn’t same again, I mean look at his performance in his last ligue 1 season at PSG.

I was thinking that Messi would resign from football in the MLS but recently I saw a rumor that Barcelona wants him back, I really can't tell how true it is but Messi is very active in football I've watched him on several occasions in the MLS and I think he can still perform as expected and would even impact the younger players over there if he goes back.
 The season you talked about in the Ligue 1 at PSG was a general situation, the entire team wasn't giving their best and it affected Messi, remember that Mbappé and Neymar including Sergio Ramos was in that squad. Honestly I doubt your statement that Messi won't perform well if he goes back to European football.

Chelsea is said to be after Endrick for a January move. A reunion with Estêvão sounds good though. Maybe they can play better together with a good communication.

However there is no guarantee for both of them to be a starter of course.    Just as Estêvão is doing, Endrick will also need to earn his place.

This would be the best for him though rather than rotting on the bench at Real Madrid.

Will this ever happen? Yes if real Madrid is willing to let him go, but if Chelsea are truly looking at signing this player, then I would see them as the most confuse top  club ever, because their defense is their biggest problem this season, and that is the position they should be looking at strengthening, not the attack, moreover he's just a kid, and he's not an improvement on any of Chelsea's current attacking player, so why wasting money on him when  they don't actually needs him?
I don't see this deal happening because it makes no sense if you ask me if my opinion.

Chelsea seem not to have learnt from their mistakes because they keep on signing unproven players that'll need time for them to adjust. Chelsea needs a top striker and not another wonder kids. I think they have enough of those already and now need players that they can depend on to give them goals when they need it. Chelsea needs a proven strikers but unfortunately, not many of them are available on the market. They'll have to wait until the summer to sign someone and when it's that time, they should better get it right or all the projects they're working on is going to be a waste.

[dezoel]

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.

I do not agree on this, if he is going to leave Real Madrid and having next destination Chelsea he is going to face any competition because due to his quality and skills he could be first choice for Maresca Enzo change of coach is having big impact on this transfer.

Carlos Ancelotti was having good confidence in his skills and performance but sadly new coach Xabi Alonso having own strategy and Rodrygo is not in his good book which making things difficult for his stay at Bernabéu in last season few English clubs do their best for his transfer but nothing happen but now again few top English clubs are looking for him and most chances he is going to be had next destination could be Premier League and most chances London could be his next city to stay and play.

Sure, leaving Real Madrid now is the best option for Rodrigo and I'm very sure of that. Sometimes, a player just needs a new challenge to improve on his capabilities and rediscover himself. Rodrigo has been performing poorly recently at real Madrid or maybe he is just getting out shined by fate. So far this season, he has 0 goals and 0 assists so far in his 10 match appearances this season. However, I would say that the price tag put on him is a bit high of which it's not also very underserving. It is good that he is open to leave because fans have also lost hope in him.

I won't blame them I mean the fans for not seeing him as anything special anymore, is because of the way Alonso kept him on the bench like he doesn't have anything to offer and him leaving is indeed a good move even the man Endrick should also consider making a permanent move if not the bench would be weak to hold his weight for too long that's if he choose to fight for his place and is also all Alonso's doing.

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.

Has Rodrygo made up his mind to leave Real Madrid? I don't think Rodrygo will want to play for Tottenham Hotspur even though Tottenham Hotspur is the only club that shows interest in signing him in the January transfer window or in the summer transfer window because Tottenham Hotspur's project won't interest Rodrygo to sign for them. It's so unfortunate that Rodrygo isn't one of Xabi Alonso's favourite players. If Rodrygo isn't happy at Real Madrid and he wishes to join another club so that he can be sure of first team football, I support him because he deserves to be happy.

What a difficult task he has before him, I can almost feel his pain 
To stay in the Premier League they need to get about 35 points, and Wolves currently have only 2. The task of getting 33 points in the remaining 27 games seems like nothing special, but when we are talking about outsiders who have not won a single game this season, it sounds different. And the fact that there are already 9 points left until the saving place is demoralizing.

Yes I know you didn't say it was out of form that led to Rodrygo current predicament in Real Madrid. I was only responding to were you said will he rediscover himself should he leave Real Madrid. That's why I said he was never out of form; meaning if he leaves Real Madrid he is going to continue at the level he has been playing over the years at Real Madrid because he is a natural talent. He will start performing at the highest level immediately. The few times he has been coming from the bench, we have seen how he still plays very good.
