⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Black Mbaye]

In last 10 games he only played two games and i think thats why he wants to play somewhere else like Endrick ,but still he had more playing time them him

I think Madrid is running a project for their young players to play in other teams. There must be another strategy that Xabi and the club management are indeed implementing regarding the loan of their young players. 
Wherever Franco Mastantuono plays, he must show his best quality, which I think will also have a short loan contract duration. The competition in the Madrid team will be quite tough; he and the other young players must work hard to earn trust.

I think Real Madrid should have done this at the beginning of the season. Because Xabi isn't giving enough opportunities to young players at Real Madrid. Therefore, loaning out players would have been a more logical move. Also, if Mastantuono leaves the team on loan, Rodrygo will definitely stay. I think that's necessary because he's an experienced and high-quality player. Having him in the team strengthens Real Madrid.

Rudiger is getting closer to leave from Madrid as his contract is yet getting renewed by Madrid. However, the recent news said PSG is interesting in acquiring to be a leadership for all of their young talents. It makes sense consider he has leadership, experienced in guiding the young talents.
For me, it's a sense move by PSG. They must have someone who acted like Thiago Silva in the past. If they can get him for free, why not? His salary is not high, so worthy with the experience he can give to all of PSG young lads. Any opinion?

Honestly, i don’t agree with the comparison to Thiago Silva. To replace Thiago Silva’s role, you need an enormous amount of experience. I’m not saying that Rudiger isn’t a good player, but in my opinion his experience is not at the level of Thiago Silva’s. Thiago Silva is, in my view, a more serious and complete player than Rudiger.I had the opportunity to watch Thiago Silva live in a PSG shirt, and for me he is in the top 5 defenders in the world , a true captain. As for Rudiger joining PSG, i do like the idea, but he would need to improve his form, which is currently not at a high level. He had an injury, and it seems that his form hasn’t fully returned yet.Of course, he could be a good example for young players, but replacing Thiago Silva’s role would be very difficult

If we are not seeing him to wear PSG shirt, how can we know the result? In term of exp, he's not experience enough like Silva, but he has won everything. His track record is not that bad compared to the Silva. that's why i think he's still worthy especially when he leaves as a free agent.
It's bargain to get him for free by paying only his salary.

Yeah, it started first by purchasing young promising players especially from the Brazilian league, I remember when Perez signed Vini, he said the club is on a project of signing young stars from South America and bringing them to Real Madrid, if you notice, Real Madrid has slowed down on that Galactico project, the last as I can remember was Hazard as the last Real Madrid Galactico project. Of recent we have seen more of the signings being on young players and funny enough they are not integrating them to the Castila, they are being sent straight to the first team and afterwards, loan move. It's likely that Mastantuono will also be sent on loan because he hasn't been featured in matches as compared to when he first arrived at the club.

Actually I would have expected Xabi to take the opposite approach and give young players a chance. So far he has hardly done so, they don't even make it to the substitutes bench. Huijsen, Asencio and Güler are getting a lot of playing time, but these are players who were already there. He should actually be discovering and developing new young players.

I don't think that Real Madrid will let Rudiger to leave the club because right now he is the key defenders of the team. PSG already have some decent defenders in their squad depth then why are they aiming for Rudiger although his age is bit higher like due to high age, he won't be able to play for many years. They need a young player not an old....

Besides that the rest of the News is looking bit fake like I didn't see any official source that public this type of rumors that Rudiger is going to leave Real Madrid for PSG.  Right now Real Madrid is already trailing with lack of defensive player like many of their players have gotten injured, and probably instead of signing new players, selling a player in this situation is a bit questionable for club.

Xabi Alonso must have taken his time to examine the players that he will likely keep back and thf players that will be sent on loan since they do not have enough playing time in the team but players like Rodrygo is not supposed to leave the team right now because Real Madrid will need his services and despite not giving him enough playing time his presence when he's giving the opportunity changes the performance of the Real Madrid teams that's why he shouldn't send him on loan instead Mastantuono can go to loan.

If this question had been thrown to me when the season started I would have actually stated that it was best for him to go on loan for playing minutes but right now with his relationship with Xabi Alonso actually starting to get more smooth I think it will be actually bad to Send him away on loan most especially with his attacking contributions starting to grow. For me aside the standard first eleven that Real Madrid have they need to have a solid squad depth too which means great back ups on the bench, because you never know when injury might set in, and as such you would have sent players out on loan, so even the likes of Mastantuono should be held back and his loan should only be considered if only they would be keeping Brahim Diaz at the club too.

Actually I would have expected Xabi to take the opposite approach and give young players a chance. So far he has hardly done so, they don't even make it to the substitutes bench. Huijsen, Asencio and Güler are getting a lot of playing time, but these are players who were already there. He should actually be discovering and developing new young players.

I actually sometimes wonder what some of us actually want from a manager because let’s be realistic this club wants instant trophy and this cannot be doing with giving young players that enough time because that will mean the club will be enduring for sometime and they don’t look like they want that now

This is a project that, in my opinion, is not good at all. It's true that Real Madrid was lucky to have Ancelotti, a coach who can change a player's position and still get good results, but the current Real Madrid squad will give other coaches a lot of headaches. Abandoning the old pattern of signing the best players in the world regardless of age has made Real Madrid lack quality in its play. Even when they win games, they can't play beautiful football like Barcelona. I'm a Real Madrid fan, but honestly, it's been difficult to like the way Real Madrid has played in recent years.

We can’t really know, you’re right. I said that it would be good if he joined anyway because he would definitely help the club. I was just adding that he can never really be like Thiago Silva, because he’s not that type of player who gives advice to others and he doesn’t have a captain’s mentality , that’s just my opinion. Realistically, he would make a good partnership with Marquinhos, but we’ll see how everything turns out in the end. The way things stand now, it really looks like he will leave in the summer

Rodrygo is much more experienced, and Xabi Alonso would be better off keeping him. Mastantuono is still very young and has plenty of time to develop his talent. If he remains patient, I think Xabi Alonso will continue to give him playing time. Choosing to go out on loan isn’t necessarily a bad decision, it can be a faster way to gain recognition. Despite all that, we have to acknowledge that Xabi Alonso is very different from Ancelotti, who was able to accommodate playing time for all his players.

That could be a pretty good option because Rudiger also still has the opportunity to show his performance at PSG especially when talking about competition although it is not too much different but Ligue 1 will be much more comfortable compared to La Liga so this could be a pretty good choice for Rudiger.

In addition, PSG's defense is almost all at an ideal young age because only Marquinhos is currently more than 30 years old so this makes it possible for Rudiger to be in their squad to provide stability and maturity for the care of several young players.
If indeed he will be at PSG then Rudiger can become one of the players who has played in 5 major European competitions in his football career considering the Bundesliga, Serie A, EPL and La Liga he has felt in his professional career and only Ligue 1 he has not yet experienced.

Real Madrid's recent transfer policy has been to sign free players or young players. Signing star players who are free transfer players is a very sensible and easy move for them, given the current circumstances. However, I don't share the same opinion when it comes to young players. I believe that when you transfer to one of the world's biggest clubs at a very young age, you are under enormous psychological pressure. Additionally, being on the bench during a period when you need to develop your skills can be a major problem. That's why I think all young players, starting with Arda Güler, should be loaned out to teams where they can get more playing time. In other words, if I were in their shoes, that's what I would do...

Selling Rudiger is the same as looking for new problems for Xabi. They are in an unstable condition, and Rudiger is a player who is a main choice. Two seasons ago, Rudiger always played as a first-choice player. But indeed, this new season, he has only played six times. Far from last season. I think this situation is normal. When players don’t get a lot of playing time, they will try to earn trust at the club. But if the club doesn’t give opportunities, then leaving is the best solution. Let’s see what decision Xabi makes.

Your point regarding importance of senior leaders to balance of team was very right. It is huge risk to sell one of best players like Antonio Rudiger, and team is already in trouble. Rudiger is first choice leader who adds much of energy to game and his loss would cause new issues to Xabi Alonso. Surprisingly, he has been able to play six times this season as compared to past where he used to play much. World class player will not be happy to be sitting on bench and when club fails to give him chance to play, best choice is to leave. He is now being closely watched by many other teams and unless he begins playing soon, he may be sold in January.

These young names and players do not help carry out how Xabi Alonso wants to play effectively, he needs players who can pressure his opponents very well and also a good attacking midfielder better than Arda Güler in terms of delivery. I haven't said he is not good enough but they need a player who can do that consistently for them. The defenders who are injury prone can go honestly, even in their absence, Real Madrid has looked for a way to fight and stay consistent. I believe this shoube the last season for Rudiger.

[RaltcoinsB]

I think Real Madrid should have done this at the beginning of the season. Because Xabi isn't giving enough opportunities to young players at Real Madrid. Therefore, loaning out players would have been a more logical move. Also, if Mastantuono leaves the team on loan, Rodrygo will definitely stay. I think that's necessary because he's an experienced and high-quality player. Having him in the team strengthens Real Madrid.

I think everyone agrees on this for Real Madrid. The players need to go on loan and gain experience. The Brazilian can contribute a lot to the team with his experience. Rodrygo's presence on the pitch will have a much stronger impact than the Argentinian's situation. I hope Real Madrid has a better second half of the season. I also think Endrick and Mastantuono can return to the team more effectively next year. I believe their loaning was one of the most important things Real Madrid should have done, and it was long overdue.

[Solodoski]

Loaning out Endrick and Mastantuono was the best option because they weren't getting enough playing time. Endrick was loaned to Olympique Lyon, and I'm sure he'll be very successful in France. The difficulty of the league in France will provide him with sufficient experience. I also think the Argentinian player should be loaned out to France or Germany. I'm sure they would gain more experience playing in these two countries. Furthermore, the players have a higher chance of making the squad in teams in those countries. Real Madrid must want them to get more playing time.

Endrick and Mastantuono are two wonderful your players with a lot of prospects, but they are not getting enough playing time at Real Madrid right now, so I think loaning them out is a very good option for the club and might end up been a very good decision by the club. These players are at the developing stage where they need more game time to develop properly,  but they are not getting it at Real Madrid, so it's a very good decision for them to go out on loan and get playing time to help them develop.

When players don’t get a lot of playing time, they will try to earn trust at the club. But if the club doesn’t give opportunities, then leaving is the best solution. Let’s see what decision Xabi makes.

Selling Rodruga wouldn't become a new problem to Xabi Alonso because he hasn't added any impact on Madrid performance since the arrival of Xabi Alonso so I don't see how it's gon be a problem. Selling him and replacing him with a good defender of his quality or higher will add a good impact to Madrid performance and the outcome of their matches.

 Currently, he's not productive. What a club cares about is your current form and not about what you have done for the club in the past if not, they will run at loss.

[Alex077]

Real Madrid is recalling Nico Paz to rejoin in their squad. They signed him back by paid 9m to the Como. I'm wondering what you guys expectation to him. For me, he needs to prove whether he can fit Madrid's system well, which obviously 180 degree differ than what Fabregas did at Como....

I'm not following you: Nico Paz is way more offensive than Vitinha, they are very different players, you can't really compare them. And also I don't understand what you mean by "failing for the second time at Real Madrid": you do realize we are talking about a 2004 who made 4 appearances..

That's the reason why they need Vitinha more than Nico Paz. They have Jude and Arda. Why do they need to sign a new AM while they're lacking of depth in the Defensive Midfielder by only having Tchouameni there. It makes no sense to me.

As for failed for the second times, the reason is simple if he's good enough, he won't be loaned. It's also wrong to call he made only 4 appearances while the fact that he made it 8. 4 times La liga, 3 times UCL, and 1 in Copa del rey back in 23/24.

I think that will be a good decision. A player who will not bring too much Drama and actually a player who will perform well. Well, probably I shouldn’t say that because vini he’s also a good performer but too much drama can cause a lot of problems in the squad. And if he does not renew the contract that means he is actually thinking he is bigger than the club. And I don’t think any player should actually think that ever again in his career. So I said let him go if he insists and let’s see if he is actually bigger than the club or not. Pretty sure other clubs are not going to be that interested in him because of all the drama.

[Velvet78]

One thing is certain that Tottenham doesn't have a great quality of squad now. When it comes to their attacking area this is valid for there as well. Since Kane left the team they haven't been able to fill his place as strong as that. 

Marmoush has been disappointing at Manchester City and can't find enough playing time. The player himself is skilled actually. He played great in the Bundesliga but he can't show that here.

Aghehowa is a really nice young talent Porto has. His scoring is really impressive. But will he maintain it in the Premier League though?
