⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Oluwa-btc]

As I believe in Spalletti to improve this team in years, I'm glad to see that he is staying for at least a couple of more years.

He is already a manager who has proven his skills in the end. He won the Serie A with a big domination while he was managing Napoli before. 

He should just be listened by the board when it comes to signings... This team really needs an immediate renovation.

I never thought of the idea of recycling managers in the Italian Seria A until the start of this season. He is tested and approved already in the Italian league so yeah, I can agree with the management giving him a listening ear.

They may not be able to make it to the Champions League competition with the consistent Como aide we watch week in and out but one thing is certain, the rebuild they needed a long time ago will happen and they will be back stronger next season. Congratulations to him on the new contract.

There had been no clarity previously regarding the extension of Harry Maguire’s contract at Manchester United. And it was also reported that Diogo Dalot was keen for the former Man United captain to secure a new contract. But now the deal has been finalized as Manchester United has given Harry Maguire the opportunity to sign a new contract (Source). This is good news for Manchester United’s defense as they won’t have to scramble to find a temporary replacement for Maguire. And for Maguire this is a great opportunity to continue improving his performance moving forward. I personally think that Harry Maguire has actually performed quite well for Manchester United so far. And his performance has improved significantly compared to when he was still trying to adapt early in his time at Man United. On the other side Manchester United appears to be looking for a replacement for Casemiro, where he is set to leave around the end of this season.

This guy has been dead and alive and dead and alive so many times. I remember that when he made mistakes, he quickly ended up sitting on the bench for several matches and then he got another chance and sometimes scored the most important goal of the match. It was ridiculous how many comebacks he had and how often he fell afterwards again, but I think his mentality is on spot and he knew he could fight his way back into the main team.

The mistakes he made were an obstacle for him for quite a while, at some point more than for other players I think because everyone was waiting for failures. When he is strong shape and plays consistently high quality matches, he is an awesome player.

If there is anything I hate when it comes to contract, it's the duration players get signed because of their previous performance from other club. I'm of the opinion that when a player is getting sign, there must be a sign of relentless so you can have confidence on them even when the team is undergoing tough time but you see Maguire, there is no stage of football that guy hasn't played before since he came to Manchester United with long contract.

Manchester United was willing to let him leave the club if there is any club that will trigger his release clause but nobody was ready to spent the asking price. Maguire is too expensive for the amount the club is asking, why should I spent much on a player that was doing own goal. At some points he made the club better but the disappointment performance is way more above the things we saw from him, he will stay in that club until the contract expire, I don't think there is any club that will offer good money.

Happens almost every time in Serie A. That is one league that I have failed to completely understand, lol  

They may not be able to make it to the Champions League competition with the consistent Como aide we watch week in and out but one thing is certain, the rebuild they needed a long time ago will happen and they will be back stronger next season. Congratulations to him on the new contract.

The whole league just needs a total reboot. I can't imagine this was a league where the greats would go shortly before the end of their careers, the likes of Ronaldinho, Kaká, Beckham, Clarence Seedorf, Andriy Shevchenko, etc. Today their poor performance in the league is reflected in the European competitions.

Seriously bro, Harry Maguire has to have the most unpredictable form in the whole of the EPL, because after that his whole De Gea and him trend, it felt like his performance afterward would see him to the greats in terms of Man United Centre Backs and that time he was even called up in the England National team, then he varnished again and now he is looking good, I just don't understand him.

There is one thing about this long duration of contract renewal that I don't like, players can play trash at the beginning of there contracts and towards the ending he start playing prime, then suddenly there market value sky rockets, it's just wild

Sometimes the problem isn’t the coach himself, but I believe Spalletti can make his idea work. It’ll probably take time for the club to get back on its feet, but it’s definitely not impossible.Like we said, he dominated with Napoli and managed the team brilliantly, so he could do the same with Juve. We’ll see what happens next season, but either way, congrats on the contract

With 7 more games to go, Juventus can still make it to the Champions league this season. The points between the fourth-placed Como and Juventus are just one point. If there is a slight drop in points by the Cesc Fabregas side, Juventus can take advantage of it. It's good that Luciano Spalletti's contract has been extended.  Giving coaches more time helps them to be relaxed and confident in building a good team from the foundation. Some clubs want instant results and this might be the reason why they sack coaches constantly. The Italian coach didn't do well as a national team coach.  However, he is making an impact in the Serie A.

Recycling managers is something that we get used to, not only on Serie A, but in most leagues from several years. After all the demands for top managers exceed their numbers thus we see them trying several teams in the same league and in others before choosing a lower team in the ranking where the impact of the manager is clearly seen comparing to training a top team with a narrow tolerance for the failure and less time to get used to the players.
It is clear that teams which switch like 3 managers in a season could have any problem other than managers themselves.

[Miles2006]

Ever heard of a saying that goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"? This is exactly the same situation. The Manchester United management should just let it be and let the current coach continue with his project.
Bringing in Luis Enrique is definitely going to mess things up. This is no PSG in a French league that we are talking about. This is Manchester United just trying to get back to the past European glory that they have been missing for quite some time.

Manchester United wants another manager for the team's long-term growth, but they're forgetting that the current manager understands the team's situation much better. It's better to give him a chance now, as his ability to improve the team's quality is much better and now the chance of playing in the Champions League is quite significant. Luis Enrique has already turned down a move to Manchester United and the management should be more understanding of the team's current needs. The current manager can bring about real change and what they need is support from management.

Manchester United seeking for another manager seems wrong, the club struggled for a very long time despite changing managers still didn’t help and now the team wants another one. I doubt if this initiative will be so successful as expected because Carrick made it so difficult replacing him due to the club improvement basically Manchester United successful matches lies on him, I’m sure fans will not support such decision yet it’s left for them to buy or replace any manager of their choice yet chances of performing better might be slow.

Rumors about Barcelona and Kane have been circulating around here for quite some time, if I recall correctly, coinciding with rumors that Lewandowski would be sold, however, all indications are that Barcelona would be unlikely to sign Kane even if they wanted him. Kane is in top form with Bayern, and it wouldn't make sense for Bayern to let him go.

Not only that Munich has no intention of selling him, but Barca's situation which has just recovered from the financial crisis does not allow them to be able to recruit Kane from Munich, because Kane's price is quite high and it will take up too much of their budget, I don't think that Barca will risk themselves again to buy a player with such an expensive value, so it is more realistic for them to target other players who have a more flexible transfer so that it does not burden Barca's finances.

Big big news coming in from Juventus as they welcome Luciano Spalleti as their new manager. This is exactly what we love to see, elite teams that will perform up to their level. This is no longer the time to be bearing around because there elite team here to win games and become a very tougher club.

Juventus haven't been the elite team we use to know for years because they've failed to meet up and compete for titles. More like them failing to win the scudetto and now competing to qualify for the UEFEA Champions League.

Juventus has been on a continuous change of managers but nothing significantly good has c I me out, they are not back to being Serie A masters nor excelling in the UEFA Champions league.

I haven't been following up on them again after their continuous decline or taking this long and still trying to bounce back but if he is doing well, building the team with him might just be one of the best options, they have changed managers and went back to managers who did outstanding for them before in their dominance but still fail to get back to their best.

He has done well already for Juventus, he’s rebuilding and restructuring the team he has to fit his profile and strategy I believe by next season and next transfer window he’ll be able to get in reinforcements cos they’re seriously lacking clinical finishers. Kenan Yildiz is doing well for them but he’s not an outright striker.
Luciano Spalleti when given the opportunity of a long term can possibly achieve something better, and Juve had taken the chance to get him to stay longer.

Somehow Barcelona always find a way to lure players to play for them even though it is supposed to cost them a lot but they somehow always manages to get  them. They did so with even Lewandowski and some other players and now they are about to go for Harry Kane. They always find a way to convince players to agree to a pay cut in their wages and also pay a smaller transfer fee. Because they are a big club it's the dream of many players to play for Barcelona one days that's why even with their financial situation they are still able to get good players to play for them. If they are serious about Kane and Kane also shows some interest in playing for them I am sure they will definitely get him too.

A bit disappointed with Juve's decision to extend his contract. But i still appreciate it caused by this proves they're thinking for a long term projection. If he can't qualify for UCL this season, i can't really blame him caused by he got no budgets.

So let's see what he will give when he gets some budgets to buy the players he wants. If he can't repeat his success in Napoli, he may able to end Juventus's banter era.

However, the better to keep lower our expectation. It's because of i don't think Como will be in shambles to drop themselves from the UCL spot. It's likely he and Juve ended with no UCL spot this season, which is also affecting them financially.

It cannot be denied that this rumor still exists today that's why Bayern Munich confirmed that Harry Kane will stay at least until 2027 this is an attempt to reject all offers for anyone who tries to approach him. Actually, based on statistics on transfermarkt Harry Kane market value continues to decline, this is not because of his poor performance but because of his increasing age yeah as we know currently he is 32 years old and when his contract ends he will probably be around 33-34 years old which of course has an impact on his market value and salary. Currently Harry Kane receives a salary of around 25 million per season and this does not include bonuses.

Juve seems have an interest to sign Nunez only if he will leave from SPL. If it's gonna be true, i think it's a solid transfer. The reason is he can be a very good replacement for Vlahovic, which is gonna leave in summer. They can't have Thuram to be their only striker. So they have to sign someone who has quality, have a cheap price and salary.

So i think Nunez is the answer for this. The good thing Nunez has been excluded from the current squad of his SPL team. So he has to leave in order to play regularly instead of always warming the bench.

If they can sign him far less than Al Hilal's initial bought price. It's gonna be a bargain transfer for sure.

Nuñez earn more than 20 million euros per season, Juventus established a salary cap at approx. 6-6.6 mln, and currently the only player earning that much is Yildiz because he is, by far, the best player in the team. Vlahovic still earns more than him just because he is still on a old contract. So unless Nuñez chooses to accept 1/4 of his current salary, this is a totally made up news.

Nothing impossible. I meant Nunez very rarely got minutes at Hilal since he's being excluded from main squad of SPL. So this may force him to think to go back to europe even if he has to accept significant pay cut. We have seen how Jordan Handerson accepted to cut 75% of his salary to join Ajax. Who knows it may also work for him too.

Jordan Henderson left Saudi Arabia because he didn't like at all the lifestyle, the culture, everything, he absolutely wanted to run away. And he had already made a bunch of money during his career. Nuñez is a mediocre player at the end of the day, he knows that if he leaves Saudi Arabia nobody will ever offer him again that amount of money. Personally, as a Juventus fan, I don't want him unless he comes for free and accepts no more than 4 millions per year. And I highly doubt his going to renounce to 80% of his salary.

[tygeade]

Today news about Patrik Schick has started circulating again in the media. According to reports Beşiktaş will make 30 million Euro offer for Schick who is the star striker of Bayer Leverkusen. I really like Schick and he's probably a player who deserves a market value of 30 million. But I'm not sure how wise it is to spend that much money on someone who's already 30 years old. Turkish clubs have started spending serious money last years. This isn't sustainable without success. If success comes these costs will be covered, but if it doesn't the debt will keep growing.

While I agree that paying that much for a player doesn't make that much sense at 30 years old, it's also obvious that it's about if it will fit or not. If he does fit, with the teams needs and all that, and he plays good, scores 20+ goals a year etc, then it's fine, you can play him for 5 years at least, there are many strikers who played until 35 and still scored great. Hell Lewandowski is doing it at Barcelona, and sure Patrik is not as good as Barcelona, but Besiktas is also not as big as Barcelona neither.

So that means if they can somehow do a good job and get this guy, then we know what he is capable of and if they can utilize him that way, like score 20 goals a year, for 5 years, then I would say 30 million would be well spent.

Personally, as a Juventus fan, I don't want him unless he comes for free and accepts no more than 4 millions per year. And I highly doubt his going to renounce to 80% of his salary.

Darwin Nunez is already in mess at Al Hilal since team has removed him from their main league squad to make room for Karim benzema and he can only play in some cups. He makes about 23 million per year in Saudi Arabia, nearly ten times amount Juventus would pay him of about 4 million or so. I would say that even though other players, such as Jordan Henderson, did walk away from Saudi deals in past, Nunez is in his best years and would have to give up more than 40 million guaranteed money to move back to Europe, which is extremely expensive. Although Juventus is interested, deal is extremely unlikely unless Al-Hilal is willing to pay most of his pay or he chooses to leave tens of millions of euros to play in Italy. And his high price tag and huge pay make Turin move almost impossible at the moment since he is still playing well when he has chance.
