⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Emitdama]

For awhile until the end of this season, Chelsea appointed Calum McFarlane as interim manager and the management promote him as Chelsea U21 head coach become the senior head coach during four matches left. Xavi Hernandez linked to be Chelsea manager absolutely still rumor and speculation because the management not announce yet who candidate become the manager for next season and fully focus four matches left get opportunity finish at Europe League spot standings.

I don't think bad with Xavi Hernandez if appointing as Chelsea manager next season, he won La Liga tittle with Barcelona indeed not fully support large financial and Xavi seems easily signing many top player if becoming Chelsea manager for next season.

While I doubt Xavi would come quickly right now, it does make sense to take over at the last game of the season ends, so that he could take time to build a good team there. People think Barcelona is great now, but it was Xavi who made Cubarsi, Balde, Yamal, and many more other young players get the time they are getting right now and show that they are great.

Without Xavi, who would have trust into players like 16-17 years old and would put them in? He is a player from La Masia, so he had trust into La Masia, and that is how Barcelona became great once more using their own youth players.

The rumor about Maresca to take over Pep's job is coming again. I think this time it sounds more logical to happen. The reason is Pep's strongly linked to coach Italy's NT, and he's open with such possibility. So i don't rule him out to leave from City next summer.
If italy will really try to pursue him, it's good for Maresca to fulfill his available spot, and bring his legacy to the another level.

However, City's management still said it's all depending on Pep himself. But i think Pep has to left caused by he's getting older, and it's time for him to coach NT for the first time on his career.

Guadiola as took everything he need in Manchester City so even he retired now he didn't lack anything again. Maresca to replace Guadiola is not a bad deal is still a good coach and he can handle to team since they are still a good players in the team and he can be able to manage them very well. If Guadiola will get the opportunity to win the Premier League this season I think he can probably leave Manchester City because I don't think he can try to continue anymore but he can still renew is contract with the club because Guadiola is coach that have discipline and every player will definitely like is way of playing in the competition and keeping the ball calming and playing possession games.

There are rumors that Barcelona still wants Haaland at Camp Nou even though Barcelona's financial situation is bad. But besides Haaland, Barcelona is also considering Mo Salah as a good alternative even though he is not young. Laporta is reportedly monitoring the state of Man City's transitional period this season. It seems Laporta hopes to bring Haaland for free. But it seems this situation is difficult to realize, Haaland is too good to be let go for free. Man City apparently does not have any other player capable of playing like Haaland.

Every month there are the same rumors: Alvarez, Haaland, and some other super expensive player. Haaland makes something like 25 million euros per year, I would like someone that could explain how this transfer would be possible. He has a contract until 2034, and City are a very rich team and don't want to sell him.

Unless Barcelona pay his clause of €200 million according to news reports in 2024, it seems that the club will not be able to bring Haaland just like that, not only Barcelona, Real Madrid is also interested in signing this tall man.

After the season ends hot rumors will always appear --- this will not be strange, Haaland will not go to any club he has earned a high salary, good performance and often top scoring in the Premier League so he will stay there.

200 million euros? Guys, seriously, what are we even talking about? Barcelona can't even buy back Rashford for 30 millions, and the English player earns less than half of what Haaland does, so this rumor makes no sense at all. I keep reading that Barcelona needs a striker, sure, I need a car too but that doesn't mean I can buy a Lamborghini just because of that.

Nicolas Jackson will be sent back to Chelsea, with Bayern Munich unwilling to activate his purchase option. He has played 20 games for Bayern Munich and scored 7 goals, but that's still not enough to warrant a permanent move for Bayern. Jackson doesn't appear to have a bright future even if he returns to Chelsea, as it's difficult to secure a starting spot. Jackson and Chelsea must find a solution, one of which is lowering Jackson value to ensure a quick sale.

It would have been a lot better if Nicholas Jackson had stayed put at Chelsea next season when he finally comes back from his loan spell at Bayern munich, but the problem there is that his relationship with the club is very bad, and it has gone sour beyond repair, since they tried to cancel his loan that took him to Bayern munich, and he refuses coming back to the team.
So I don't think that Chelsea hierarchy will want him closed to the team next season, but he would have been a more better option to rely on than delap that is a very big flop this season.

I admire Manuel Neuer who despite his old age, still performs quite well in goal. Bayern Munich has planned for him to stay at the club for another season until 2027, perhaps this is part of a transition plan so the new goalkeeper can learn from Neuer.

I think Manuel Neuer has proven to be one of the best all time goal keepers. He has been very good with what he does over the year and I think it's a good one if Bayern Munich plans to keep him at the club till 2027 and I also think deserves it. He will.also be a very mentor for an upcoming goal keeper to learn from, so if the plan is to  him, so the new goal keeper can learn from him, then it's a very good decision by the club.

Bayern Munich is a great team and there's no how they're letting the German goalie exit the club. They're still considering to offer him an offer that's purposely for at least one year extension. The club believes in Manuel Neuer because he's one of the best goal keeper in the world of football.

What's going to be done without this goalkeeper? He made incredible saves and have gained wide recognition, definitely this is what we love to see, a goalie confident and always ready to show us what he's made up of.

I think Bayern Munich are just leaving it open. I assume they might still consider a move for Anthony Gordon this summer. Do you think they need a profile like him right now?

Gordon can play as LW naturally but has been used as RW and CF so many times as well. I wonder whether they are thinking him like a replacement for Diaz in the long term...

This player seemed to be top of his class, but in recent months he has struggled considerably; perhaps the German league isn’t the best fit for his style of play. I think he’d do well in Serie A, playing for a mid-to-upper-table side where he could get more regular playing time and better showcase his qualities.

Let's not forget also that Barcelona financial situation is not that perfect to bring players with high fees so they have to rely on free transfers and on their youngsters. Of course the coach has a role on boosting them no doubts about that.
Now if we look about their rival Real Madrid, they have a better financial status but they weren't able to perform better and coaches rotation wasn't successful for them. They have to deal with a lot of names and especially about many demands that will cost Real Madrid many players and money. I am not sure they will be financially that powerful to accept such demands from coaches like Klopp. They have to rely more on their young talents or other young talents in Brazil or other countries.

Jackson is a useless striker. So it's right to refund him back to the Chelsea. He performed so poorly from 19 games, he only recorded 6 goals and 1 assist, which is enough reason not to buy him. It's also making it very difficult for Chelsea caused by we know how Chelsea has broken relationship with him.
So the only possible solution for him is that to put him for sale in summer, and give discounted price to the club that is keen to sign him.

None will be buying him for what Chelsea demanded for around 65m or even more. A midtable striker like him worth way more less than it. So i guess we will have another drama to come between him and Chelsea.

You don't know that! You can not say he will be a failure when his spell at Bayern Munich comes to an end eventually by the end of the season.
One thing is certain though, he will be crowded Champion of Bundesliga league competition which will be so good for his profile.. that is plain disrespect. Of Nicholas Jackson has no future, what do we say about Liam Delap struggling?! It's safe if he eventually leaves. He deserves a new environment without disrespect and a toxic fanbase.

Here's is the list of MU players expected to leave in summer.

🇧🇷 Casemiro
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Marcus Rashford
🇩🇰 Rasmus Højlund
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Jadon Sancho
🇳🇱 Tyrell Malacia
🇨🇲 André Onana
🇹🇷 Altay Bayındır
🇨🇿 Radek Vitek
🇺🇾 Manuel Ugarte
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Tyler Fredricson
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Toby Collyer
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Dan Gore

There are 12 players in total potentially to leave in summer while some such as Casemiro has already confirmed himself to leave. In my opinion, all of names listed are not worthy to keep consider how small their contribution to the squad. However, it's gonna be a big lose if MU will let majority of them leave as free transfers.

But there is still a positive side like they can restructure their player salary and squad. So they can perform even better compared to what they do rn with the new squad. That's also the reason i can expect major overhaul to happen during Carrick's era. It's interesting how he's gonna build back his club.

However, it sounds weird i don't see Mount in the list. Are they still trying to keep him with all of his injuries? If it's true, that's crazy to see that.

If it's true, that means the possibility of Pep resigning is very realistic and Manchester City are already prepared to move on from him. Maresca is an experienced coach in the Premier League and a good choice if you ask me, if he could be successful with Chelsea then yoi could imagine what he'll do with Manchester City’s squad.

 I think Pep Guardiola would approve this cause Maresca learnt a lot from him, he was his assistant when Manchester City won the trebble which means he understands the team very well, which makes him one of the best candidate for the job, infact winning the club world cup has increased his chances of coaching any big team.

So sad. I thought he had won the heart of Coach Vincent Kompany after scoring seven goals with limited playing time. The Senegalese was given enough time in Chelsea under Enzo Maresca to prove his worth. But he kept missing clear chances and didn't create many assists.

Nick would have to return to Chelsea if there is no interest from other clubs. Reducing is earning is a starting point, and having options outside Europe is another alternative if he insists on having high salaries. Maybe Bayern would have retained him if he had scored more goals, but he is just having a hard time.

Xavi Hernandez linked to be Chelsea manager absolutely still rumor and speculation because the management not announce yet who candidate become the manager for next season and fully focus four matches left get opportunity finish at Europe League spot standings.

Yes, Chelsea has no intention of bringing in a new manager for the remaining four games, as Calum McFarlane will be tasked with completing the season, regardless of whether Chelsea can finish in the Europa League.

Chelsea's interest in Xavi is still just a rumor, and it's possible that it won't materialize if Xavi doesn't agree to become Chelsea's manager. Especially considering Chelsea's management policy of easily firing coaches mid-season, it seems unlikely that Xavi would accept Chelsea's offer if it were to come. But we don't know how this rumor will materialize. We'll just have to wait and see after this season.

If this news is actually true, it's a step in the right direction because Enzo maresca is a manager that has proven himself as a top class coach that can compete against other top coaches under pressure, and his performance against PSG in the FIFA club world cup during the summer entails that.
Right now  am not sure if pep guardiola will leave this summer or not, but what am a bit certain of is that Manchester City will still be competitive as they were before pep guardiola came into the club. So even though he eventually leaves, they will still be a strong and competitive Manchester city side as they were in the past under pelegrini and Mancini.

Jackson might do what's best for him by returning to Chelsea. It's an important step in his Chelsea career. Since he came to Bayern Munich, I thought he wasn't playing badly. I still think he wasn't playing badly and that he was playing effectively while he was in the Bayern Munich squad. But when we consider that he might return to Chelsea, he could play matches again with a Premier League team; after all, he's a quality player.

I don't take news from goal.com seriously because most news there are fake. Barcelona is a big club and one of the best clubs in the world but they don't have what it takes to sign Erling Haaland from Manchester City in the summer. Erling Haaland won't be a free agent by the end of the season, so Laporta plan to bring Erling Haaland to Manchester City as a free agent won't work.

With his level of performance in Bayern, I'm sorry to say that he's not fit into the squad. He was given several opportunities to improve himself to show he has great potentials in him but he hasn't done enough yet. Returning to Chelsea is a must for him because that's his club. I hope that he will see this as a challenge and work on himself for a better performance.

Haaland makes something like 25 million euros per year, I would like someone that could explain how this transfer would be possible. He has a contract until 2034, and City are a very rich team and don't want to sell him.

This is another big news that will be swept under the carpet because I don't think that Barcelona can afford to pay for what they want. Haaland isn't free and wouldn't leave Manchester City for Barcelona because he sees Etihad as his home. Barcelona always come up with news of signing big players but they lack the resources. Maybe, it's another noise from Laporta.

While it is true that Barcelona can't afford to pay a transfer fee that is high, lets not act as if they can't pay for salary neither. Lewandowski deal is ending this season, and they are already paying that much to Lewandowski himself, meaning that they would not be even paying more, they would be paying exactly how much they are already paying, nothing new and it will continue to be something that would be payable for them.

Plus they are getting the league title, and did quarter finals at UCL, and have a new stadium they are playing in although it is not complete yet. So all these together means that they are doing a fine job without a doubt. I think if it was a free agency transfer, they would be able to afford Haaland.
