⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Many Arsenal fans reportedly want Luis Enrique to come in as the new manager to replace Mikel Arteta. They feel that Arsenal’s performance has been less than satisfactory under his leadership. And they don’t want to see a decline in performance like the one Arsenal has experienced recently. But Rio Ferdinand insists that Luis Enrique won’t be coming to Arsenal (Source). He believes Arteta deserves more time to coach Arsenal. I personally think that Luis Enrique could be an excellent candidate to replace the Arsenal manager. He is a coach with experience leading various top-tier teams. He was also once a strong candidate to replace Arsène Wenger as Arsenal’s manager. But at that time the deal fell through because Arsenal refused to meet Luis Enrique’s demands. Arteta is reportedly set to be replaced if he fails to win the Premier League title (Source). But I think if he can just deliver a Champions League title then he might not leave Arsenal as manager just yet given that Arsenal’s chance to win the Champions League title this season is getting closer. What are your thoughts?

In my opinion, Luis Enrique is the perfect replacement for Arteta, as his track record is unquestionable, as he is one of the best coaches in the world. The only problem is that Luis Enrique is still under contract at PSG, and I'm sure PSG will do everything they can to retain him. Arsenal should look for another manager next season, as Arteta isn't the type coach with a winning mentality. Furthermore, Arteta has had enough time at Arsenal, but he hasn't won a major trophy. This season, Arteta will return without a trophy, especially given Arsenal's declining performance.

Wait, I just defended Simeone but what you wrote there is just not true. Now Atletico spend a lot of money to sign new players, even too much considering they paid almost 130 for João Félix, one of the biggest flops in football's history; Julián Álvarez 75 millions; Lemar (another huge flop, I forgot he even existed) for 72 millions; without forgetting Diego Costa, Griezmann, Baena... Sure, they spend less than the biggest club in the world but I wouldn't say that they spend "little money".

Athletico Madrid do spend money although In what they have spent there have been huge flops but not everyone here on your list is a flop, Alvarez Julian is absolutely not a flop, honestly what do you expect some of this players signed to them to do.
Athletico Madrid plays a football that doesn't allow for much trophies but they only will end up every season close to winning all trophies or in their very good season they win just one.

Would you blame the owners for spending huge figures in getting these players? Ofcourse they're one of the most prestigious club in Spain and bringing in excellent players wouldn't be challenging. Atletico De Madrid have been really been competitive in La Liga and we know how they operates when it comes to big games. This season, they've shown all clearing qualities of been one of the club that are determined to win major trophies however the same club lost the Copa del Rey cup to Real sociedad few days ago.

What's wrong with Atletico De Madrid? They knocked out their pre-eminent rival and still go ahead and lost to Real sociedad. Atletico De Madrid not use to winning trophies? I can remember vividly how Diego Simeone lead Atletico De Madrid to several finals and they lost. They ought to do better for the fans and the headcoach because he's striving really hard to attain the level of GREATNESS.

Right now nothing is officially yet, so let's not be faster than ourselves, but I don't think that Jose Mourinho and vinicius junior wouldn't work well if Jose Mourinho eventually goes to real madrid.

No one is doubting Jose Mourinho  management skills but his relationship with Vinicius is already ruined. Remember how Mourinho responded when his player said a racial slur to Vini? Yeah, I don’t think there’s any coming back from that.

True Jose mourinho said vini should not have celebrated like he did, and that statement was very wrong from a coach and that statement has destroyed the relationship he has not with vini but other Real Madrid fans and if he should come to Real Madrid, he players will never work with him, so the management should not even think of signing him as a coach of Real Madrid because he will fail when players don’t work with you as a coach you will never succeed, it is only when players are willing to work with you and put their best just for you to keep your job that you can achieve or succeed as a coach. It is not about a coach using tactics alone It is about how willing the players are ready to work with you.

If Real Madrid have an intention to bring up Jose Mourinho as the new coach then probably they should also keep in mind that their current players are too arrogant, and definitely they won't be able to play with coach who has a higher ego than player. Jose Mourinho have a arrogant attitude, and if he came to Real Madrid then Killyan Mbappe and Vinicus Junior will head the list of disobedience to his instructions. Jose Mourinho is big coach and in past he used so many big star as player in his team and always try to keep them as team player not a big star....

Besides that Killyan Mbappe and Vinicus Junior are two big player and they already try to pretend as big star and due to this they are not even following the coach command or instructions. So if Jose Mourinho came here then two possibility will be rise. One if Killyan Mbappe and Vinicus Junior didn't follow hai command then he will try to complain about them and if Jose Mourinho made any miss with such keep them as subb or second opinion player then probably Vinicus Junior and Killyan Mbappe will protest.

Don't get it twisted that if Simeone comes to Chelsea, they'll always qualify for the Champions League. EPL is different from Laliga that don't have strong teams to compete with. In EPL, we have several big clubs compared to Laliga and I wouldn't be surprised that Chelsea might not qualify for the Champions League from season to season if Simone takes over the clubs as head coach.

You can't said Laliga don't have a strong team to compete with, and they always be at the top in the Champions League every season. Simeone is a good coach and I can probably said if he comes to Chelsea he will surly perform well because the players that Chelsea have currently are much better then Athletico Madrid but Simeone is doing is best and even getting the opportunity to qualify to the champions league semi final.

We no that EPL is a competitive competition and is very entertaining to everyone, but you can't mentioned that word that Laliga don't have a good clubs to challenge Premier League clubs. Let see how negotiation will goes and that will be a good move if Simeone move to Chelsea he can get a trophy for the club because they have good players in the team is just that the current coach don't know how to manage the team.

Yes, it's not wrong that Luis Enrique is the perfect replacement for Arteta, but it looks like Arsenal fans need to bury this dream deep inside, because I heard Enrique has extended his contract with PSG until 2030 with a double pay rise.
It's a shame, because Arteta isn't a bad coach, but it's strange that he struggling to deliver titles.
I wonder if Arteta went to another team and won titles, who would be to blame for Arsenal almost constant title wins but always failing?

What do mean Laliga teams have been at the top of champions league every year, when last did Barcelona win the champions league, or is it Atletico Madrid we want to talk about, aside Real Madrid I don’t think any laliga team can boost in the champions league especially for the last decade.

In the premier league for the last decade we have seen teams like Chelsea, Liverpool and even Manchester city win the champions league. Comparing Laliga teams and premier league teams in the champions league is not something I think we should be talking about because aside Real Madrid laliga teams don’t even come close.

As for Chelsea all they need right now is a coach that can get them a champions league football consistently and with Simone I think that will be guaranteed. It Chelsea can get him then it a good one for them.

[Alpha Marine]

I doubt Real Madrid will be interested in Jose Mourinho. Could you imagine Mourinho and Vinicius Junior on the same team…of course he’s going to bring discipline to the team but with players like Vini who have more power than managers, the relationship is not going to end well.

Madrid would not be going for Mourinho again. They have tried him once before when he was at the peak of his game, and it did not go well. How do you think it will go now that he is on a decline? At the state Madrid is in right now, Mourinho is not the kind of coach they need, but if he is somehow hired, I don't think Mou will have a problem with Vini. He likes players like Vini. Players that express themselves, players that can take the weight of the team on their shoulders. Mou likes players who can show individual brilliance and create things out of nothing. All he might require from Vini that might cause trouble tracking back when they lose the ball.

In my opinion, Mourinho won't succeed in Madrid if he goes back, but it won't be because the players have "too much power", it will be because he does not have the tactics to bring out the best of those players and team and make them play as a team to be very fearful. Mourinho is not what he once was, the sooner people realise it, the better.

To get Enrique with the current comfortable situation for Enrique with PSG is certainly not easy because looking at the current situation they may not just part ways.
PSG has been greatly helped by the presence of Enrique even the achievements that have not been able to get even succeeded in the hands of Enrique so Nasser Al-Khelaifi will certainly try to give his best so that Enrique remains at his club. Likewise with Enrique because even though he is a good coach and has been at several big clubs but I don't think he will just let go of the benefits at PSG.

At the moment although Ligue 1 looks less comfortable for PSG but it is undeniable that the domestic trophy is something he might always be able to get and switching to Arsenal is something that would be considered a gamble and I don't think Enrique will take this option.
Arteta still has a lot of work to do, he's not a bad coach but his mentality for trophies is not very good so situations like these few seasons always happen for him.

I also thought that Luiz Enrique is actually comfortable at PSG but not until I started seeing links of him to Manchester United and it was then reported that they had issues with the PSG board, I think that of that’s true then there should be hope for clubs trying to get him. Many will underestimate this kind of fights and think the club will be able to resolve them but sometimes this kind of cases actually escalates into something that is unresolvable, plus Enrique is someone who will want to actually take another competition, so if Arsenal are indeed serious of getting him they could push further.

As for other managers there is current France head coach leaving after World Cup, he is a serial winner and highly experienced also I think he can bring trophies back to the emirates

It's just too bad to see them not winning despite all the brilliant performances that they have shown since the league started at one particular time they were actually considered the best team in Europe by their performance and now with the same squad they can't even maintain a good win and a good play, I just pray that arteta finally gets to vindicate himself and proof the entire football world that he is a good coach.

I’m not a big fan of Arteta’s game plan, but I think his biggest misfortune is being in the Premier League at the same time with Pep...
Pep will likely leave City at the end of the season. Arteta might have better luck then. With a beast like that around, it’s hard for me to see finishing second as a failure... :)

Will Luis Enrique want to leave PSG?
So it has gotten to the point where Arsenal doesn't see Arteta as the man for the job,  hehehe...
Luis Enrique turn things around for OSG and I feel he can do the same for Arsenal bringing the final piece for a solid squad to win a major trophy after so many years, but I think any team getting him will have a tough time, although Arsenal will b Ed having a better chance since the management's have shown support on their managers especially through Arteta.

This narrative of sacking Arteta has no reliable evidence yet, and the season is not yet over to see if he couldn’t win anything for the team. He is still in line to win two titles which are the Champions League and the Premier League, and winning one of these will renew his contract automatically, so let’s stop pushing these narratives because I am sure the management knows what to do better.

Furthermore, premier league is different from League1, Louise Enrique might come to the premier league and fail because their nature of games is different and the competition is tough; I know he have experience but they all started somewhere and that’s one step Arteta needs to take which one of the most difficult step, but I believe once he has taken the step, he will be among the best coaches in whole world.

As an Arsenal fan, I will wait till the end of the season to support or oppose any narrative of sacking Arteta because he has tried for the team.

This season, they've shown all clearing qualities of been one of the club that are determined to win major trophies however the same club lost the Copa del Rey cup to Real sociedad few days ago.

Well they have been spending a lot of money in recent years, and we see that the club certainly wants to spend money but sometimes the transfers do not work out so good. In that case would you not blame them? If a club spends a lot of money on transfers that do not lead to improvements in results or lead to under-performance and things like that then we can certainly blame any club.

What's wrong with Atletico De Madrid? They knocked out their pre-eminent rival and still go ahead and lost to Real sociedad. Atletico De Madrid not use to winning trophies? I can remember vividly how Diego Simeone lead Atletico De Madrid to several finals and they lost. They ought to do better for the fans and the headcoach because he's striving really hard to attain the level of GREATNESS.

Well even if they have various successes, a team can still fail in important competitions that have knockouts. Losing things like Copa del Rey tend to show that the club is not invincible and has plenty to improve even if they have showed strength in other parts of their appearance or performance. Naturally simply because they lost something we can't directly always blame the club just like that because there are other variables in play, like luck or injuries and these can be the deciding factor in some important matches. I know that fans tend to want their favorite teams to win all the time, but the expectations have to be in balance with the reality of football and that way they will avoid disappointing themselves too much.

I don't see a valid reason to talk about sacking Arteta either, many people are just rushing to conclusions and spreading rumor. The season is well on going and they can still deliver good results in the end which would definitely change the talk about this and cement his position at the club at least for some more time to come. We should not spread rumors and ideas about sacking when the situation is still premature, the leadership of the club for sure does not make decisions like that.

[Ale88]

Wait, I just defended Simeone but what you wrote there is just not true. Now Atletico spend a lot of money to sign new players, even too much considering they paid almost 130 for João Félix, one of the biggest flops in football's history; Julián Álvarez 75 millions; Lemar (another huge flop, I forgot he even existed) for 72 millions; without forgetting Diego Costa, Griezmann, Baena... Sure, they spend less than the biggest club in the world but I wouldn't say that they spend "little money".

Athletico Madrid do spend money although In what they have spent there have been huge flops but not everyone here on your list is a flop, Alvarez Julian is absolutely not a flop, honestly what do you expect some of this players signed to them to do.
Athletico Madrid plays a football that doesn't allow for much trophies but they only will end up every season close to winning all trophies or in their very good season they win just one.

I never said everyone on that list was a flop, as I wrote, that was a list of the most expensive players Atletico ever bought, and they all arrived under Simeone's management. Another user was saying that Atletico is a team that doesn't spend money, they only buy cheap players, and that is clearly not true.

Where did I blame the owners? I was the first one to say that Atletico became a top-tier team thanks to Simeone when other users were talking shit about him and Atletico.

This particular transfer is definitely going to be a massive upgrade to Mikel arteta if this eventually happens because Luis Enrique is a serial winner that knows what he needs and what it takes to compete on all fronts, but it's very unlikely that he would want to leave PSG for arsenal, especially now that he has already built a formidable team that can compete effectively in the uefa champions league in the next five to seven seasons, so even though it's not an impossible deal, but it's very unlikely that such a deal will ever take place this summer.
I believe that if Luis Enrique decides to sign for arsenal, he wouldn't stay up to three seasons and he is going to make them premier league champions, because the man is a proven winner.

[Die_empty]

There is nothing official at all, not Klopp, not Mourinho, not Allegri. All of these are rumours and people are not entirely certain about them neither. We are just making talks about which one would be better and how it would work but I do not think that it would be any of them.

For me, all three do not fit Real Madrid system at all, you need a manager who would think that he is the best, because Madrid also thinks that they are the best and that is why they need someone like that.

There will always be speculations until Real Madrid gets a new coach. Out of the three you mentioned, Klopp would be my best pick because I like his style of play.

Allegri has only been successful or tested in the Serie A. He has not had experience in other top Leagues. Real is a big club that requires its manager to have vast experience. This is just my view and not a law. Mourinho has lost his spark as a coach.

All good names capable of handling the big egos in the Real Madrid dressing room. But Jose Mourinho?! Way too old school with bunch of outdated tactics. They don't need him, purely speculations if you happen to read such. MAX Allegr?? Recently signed up with Ac Milan and helping with the sqaud rebuild, I don't see him leaving the six times Champions League winners already. Jurgen Klopp is free, with lots of experience,  Club president Perez just need to do his thing, put a phone call across his agent ( Klopps ), and it'll be sealed.

I also prefer Klopp over Allegri and Mourinho because, in addition to the playing style Klopp implements on the teams he coaches, Klopp is also able to bring the best potential from his players. Real Madrid should not waste the opportunity to immediately bring in Klopp while Klopp is currently not coaching any club. Moreover, if Liverpool fired Arne Slot and wanted to bring Klopp back, then Real Madrid's chances of getting Klopp are very small because Klopp still has an emotional connection with Liverpool fans and it seems unlikely that Klopp would refuse an offer from Liverpool. So, yes, as you said, the speculation will not end until Real Madrid announces their new coach.
