⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[bitLeap]

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.

As Rodrigo is not playing often, it may affect his confidence level and ability to score goals. If not getting enough minutes eventually costs him not to go to the World Cup, it serves him right. The signs were evident during the preseason that he's not an important player under Alonso, but he chooses to stay. IMO, there's no need to stick around, he has won everything he needed to win with Real. He should just move on.

It's time for Rodrygo to be realistic, I mean he can still shine at any club if he is in the hands of the right club and coach. Now rumors of interest from one of the Premier League clubs could be one way to revive his performance which has been dulled by not getting many minutes to play. The January transfer market will run very fast so from now on Rodrygo must be able to try to convince himself that he will be much better at a new club to prove that he can shine even without a Real Madrid shirt.

Another blow to Napoli... Their options are getting narrower in time. Anguissa has been an important part of their midfield you know.

Losing him for around 3 months according to Transfermarkt will affect them negatively.

Napoli have already been in a really bad form recently. I think Conte would think of at least one midfielder signing in January.

Hmm, an extremely unsuccessful season for Napoli. Is it really some kind of curse to fall so low after winning the title? Bookmakers are already pricing their chances at the same level as Milan:

Fc Internazionale - 1.80

SSC Napoli - 5.50

AC Milan - 6.00

Judging by the odds, Inter's chances are already over 50%, but frankly, that seems highly doubtful. Arsenal, with almost identical odds, looks far more convincing. Maybe it’s because all of Inter’s competitors are weak now?

Sincerely I wouldn't blame Xabi Alonso, in terms of playing pattern and who is able to break through defence easily, it is always Vini Jr, that guy is a beast, for me in that Real Madrid front attack, Vini poses more threats on the front line than any other Madrid player on that Frontline, he dribbles with ease cuttting across in between defenders, mbappé is almost doing a similar job but I will prefer Vini. So with the reality on ground, I don't blame the fact that Rodrygo does not have a place on Alonso, you would do same if you find yourself in the same condition with the coach.

You are right, let's just say that Vinicius Jr is the play maker while Kylian Mbappe is the finisher (goalscorer). I have watched both players, Vinicius is superb if we can really say things the way it is. I know that the attention is focused more on Mbappe but let them remove Vinicius from the squad let's see if Mbappe will be able to have many scoring opportunities. For Rodrygo, i wouldn't really say that he has gone that bad, but he is almost becoming unproductive to the squad, he needs to improve otherwise Xabi Alonso might dump him out of the squad and in order for him to increase his market value, he needs to show workings.

Yeah and I don't understand why people blame Vinicius for being selfish when he create chance for his teammates. Vinicius isn't selfish when he get the ball, but he's just childish to mock the opponent or trash talk, that's the thing I don't like with Vinicius.

Rodrygo is still good and productive, but Xabi didn't give him many chance for him to play, hence we didn't see him perform pretty well.

Nah Arsenal is trash, they would lose several times when they are already on top then ruin their own chances to win. Meanwhile Inter Milan is more stable and obviously Serie A doesnt really have that much competition compared to EPL

Rodrygo is still good and productive, but Xabi didn't give him many chance for him to play, hence we didn't see him perform pretty well.

Mbappe is still a top choice and no one could replace him so yeah its pretty hard for him. Even Garcia was warming the bench the whole time, he was the top scorer for CWC

[Coyster]

He can continue to tell himself that Real Madrid is his club and he is willing to stay and fight for his place. That per se is not a bad thing, i actually like it when players stay and fight for their place in the team, but you can only do that for a limited time. And when you are sure you are putting in the work in training and yet you get limited opportunity from the manager, then i think it is time to go because you are definitely not part of the managers plans

Real Madrid are ready to sell Rodrygo. So many top clubs are willing to sign him for the right price. The best thing he can do for his career is to make the move right now, try out a new experience and maybe get his spark and smile back.

We all know that Vinicius is a very hostile player and that has been his nature, it didn't start today. I know that he can be selfish with the ball sometimes but that is basically because he still wants to prove his worth since it's looking as if Mbappe has outshined his glory because before Mbappe joined Real Madrid, Vinicius was always the talk of the club but after Mbappe came on board, it became difficult for Vinicius to shine which is the reason why he also tries to create scoring opportunities by himself.

Rodrigo's only chance of getting significant playing time would be if other players were injured. However, this is not because he is a bad player, but because the competition within the team is simply too strong.

If I were him, I would go, as he could secure a starting position at many top clubs and become one of their best players.

They should think about another midfielder and striker for January, because since Lukaku's injury, Hojlund hasn't really been a good replacement, which makes Napoli less productive at the moment. Another problem is the inconsistency of the defense, maybe they should also bring in a defender in January, at least with some additional strength, they might be able to defend their title.

Yes, this is another setback for the Napoli team, it seems to me that this is no different from the type of injuries suffered by Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku, two other players on this team. It is credible that he will be a reliable and an important figure in this group, like him several other reliable players like him are already out of action due to injury problems. So we're all assuming that Napoli might concede the Italian league title to another team this season because they're not attacking well with an injury-hit squad and everyone understands that this highly promising Anguissa will definitely not be able to take part in the upcoming Serie A game against Atalanta, so bookmakers will feel free to avoid this match.

IMO, there's no need to stick around, he has won everything he needed to win with Real. He should just move on.

But Real Madrid are not yet fully optimal from the core players they determine, meaning there is still a chance for Rodrygo to enter the first team under Alonso if the front line is still ineffective, he may express his displeasure with the decisions made by Alonso because it will have a bad impact if he is too long in reserve and only plays a little time, from this view it is better for Rodrygo to find a team that can employ him as the first team in every match or at least give more flying hours, he is a talented player and needs far more experience in running matches.

Vinicius in Madrid is unbelievable, no matter his attitude on the pitch, i still think Madrid will be hesitant to sell him especially to any La Liga club as well that will want him. Vinicius is the player i see that wants to play and he is always ready for the tough matches, he enjoys when the game is very hot, that is when he shows his through self, El Clasico was really wonders, everyone wondered why he was even taken off.

Madrid should let Rodrygo go if they don't want to use him, clubs are only afraid of the month to bring him to their club, no doubt on what he will contribute to the team. Rodrygo still needs some final coaching to increase his potential, keeping him on the bench for long will really affect his performance.

Hojlund yet here again getting blamed thought most of the fans were with the conclusion that the problem wasn’t him but actually Manchester United which he played for and that he is at a better place now, I don’t understand the new blame game on the lad when we all know perfectly that this is not his problem but the entire team facing their own problems and the number of injuries is affecting the team not just the striker, when the team was in good shape he was scoring goals why are the fans turning on him now when it shouldn’t be his fault but that of the injury plague that has affected the club.

For me they need to actually manage till January and then opt for new player most especially midfielder even if it will be on loan with obligations attached to it, not signing any midfielder leaves there midfield option narrow

Napoli will surely look for another striker and midfielder in the January transfer window, and if they fail to sign any players in the January transfer window, they will end the season without a trophy. The Serie A league has now become very competitive, and Napoli is still in the title race, although they are sitting in the top four in the league table, they can still be at the top if they sign another midfielder and striker to perform well. Since the injuries of De Bruyne, Lukaku, Hojlund, and Frank Zambo, Napoli has been without a good midfielder or striker.

There is a rumour that Napoli wants to sign Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid, and I think they are making a good decision by doing so. Ceballos is one of the top midfielders if he stays fit, and I like the way he plays and controls games, he can become a good player in Serie A if he leaves Real Madrid because he does not have enough chances to prove himself.

[Renampun]

Neymar is an unbelievable talent on the pitch but he remains injury prone thee days he might want to give his all and all in the Fifa world cup competition but these injuries will either frustrate him and also take up a chance for a young player who should have been called up over him. Rodrygo might not be playing enough games but he will not be exempted trust me. Carlo Ancelotti will not do without picking him. Not picking Rodrygo because of lack of game time is obviously using your emotions.

Ancelotti's decision not to bring in Neymar was clearly due to his fitness and the high risk that he might not be able to contribute consistently due to his recurring injuries, bringing him in would be too much of a gamble for the Brazilian national team, so giving the young player a chance is a wise decision for building a more stable and reliable squad.

as for Rodrygo and Vinicius, it's somewhat questionable why Ancelotti didn't prioritize them, at least Vinicius could have been considered as a winger for the Brazilian national team, given his excellent performance at Real Madrid, but Ancelotti should have a better understanding of the current situation of the Brazilian national team and have a strategy in place to ensure the team plays to its strengths and utilizes the best available talent.

[bitgolden]

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.

While it is obvious that Icardi is a great finisher, his body isn't there to hold up anymore. Anyone who has watched him this year would know that, even for someone who is returning from injury, he is looking very out of shape.

This means he can still score a lot, like how he is still near the top of the table at super league for turkey, but he is not helping the team out in any other way at all. You may think "well he is a striker, if he is scoring goals that's enough", but when you have a ten man squad against eleven in 90 minutes of the game aside from just one moment he scores, you will realize that is not enough at all. Which is why they got Osimhen instead of him as well. Icardi would be a great substitution after like 70th minute mark or something, but that's it.

The club's performance is average enough, they're not good enough to handle themselves this season based on the crucial injuries faced by the club. This is no longer the Napoli we used to watch and believe in terms of games because key players are absent and the current ones are precisely not fit enough and bringing out mediocre performance. I would ask how's Napoli coping this entire time? They're not making any improvements in league games and this gave really toiled the reputation of the club already. Napoli will sign players in upcoming January transfer window, this will strengthen the performance of the club so I believed.

[LGD2Business]

It seems certain that Rafa Silva will be leaving. There is talk of him returning to Benfica. Serdal Adalı have asked for a 15 million Euro transfer fee for him. Benfica, however doesn't want to pay this amount. Rui Costa wants him, but they cannot afford it. Mourinho is also reportedly open to his arrival. If Rafa is leaving, I think he should go for at least 15 million Euro. Otherwise, Beşiktaş won't be able to replace him. Sending the team's best player in January is a very illogical move, but it seems there are no other options.

There is still plenty of time for players like Neymar and Rodrygo to fight for a place in the Brazil national team, and I think Ancelotti will keep his focus on players who are in their best form when making his decisions later. Of course, every manager has exceptions, Ancelotti might also have one or two players he personally likes and see them from a different perspective Personally, I hope Neymar will be called up by Ancelotti for the 2026 World Cup, and hopefully he will be one hundred percent fit.

Rodrygo may have to make a difficult decision to leave Madrid in order to get more playing time. Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing him, and I think that is a pretty good option that would help him rediscover his best form. Meanwhile, I think Vinicius will be Ancelotti main and irreplaceable key player.
