⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Mayor of ogba]

Is the fight the reason why real Madrid is selling him?, it just happen few days ago and after then the club loss the match and we are seeing the club determined to sell him, or was this selling already announced before the fight?, his mentality could be agreed to be more intolerance but his performance is appealing, Alvaro Arbeloa never likes a match without Tchouameni and he is the part of the real Madrid first half starters. Although it always depend on whom would come in after selling a player but since it involves Rodri is a good decision and a midfielder that  learned from Pep Guardiola.

Even before the fight Tchouameni has been linked with a summer move, but Real Madrid hadn't say they are going to sell him in the summer transfer window or not, so I think the fight triggered Real Madrid to put him on sale, even though Tchouameni has always start for Real Madrid under Alvaro Arbeloa, it's not enough reason for him to pull off an awkward attitude as no player is bigger than a club, things won't be the way they used to be for Tchouameni at Real Madrid, so the best thing for him is to leave Real Madrid as soon as possible.

If this true, it has to be a good plan for Madrid. I don't think keeping Thouameni and Vede in the same club is working anymore. So they have to cash in one of them to bring back a conducive locker room. I think they have to sell Tchouameni in order to fix everything.

I know it's hard choice between Tchouameni and Vede. However, as far as i can see Vede much more impactful to the club. So i don't mind if they will lose Tchouameni in summer.

It will be so good if they can raise money from selling Tchouameni, then use it to sign a proper midfielder such as Rodri. I think that's gonna be a good plan that needs to be executed.

Actually, I regret this because looking at the conditions I would prefer to see them back playing and sacrifice Camavinga as a sale option but it seems that when the conflict is getting bigger it will also be very difficult for the club to anticipate this and someone must be sacrificed.

Tchouameni is not bad as a player especially as he is one of those players who is versatile because apart from guarding the midfield he is also quite active and can be kept as a center back but indeed when the dressing room conditions are not conducive it seems that this is one of the reasons for the club to act faster.
But on the one hand this will also create another gap in their midfield although some of the players confirmed to Madrid such as Nico Paz are also in midfield but his focus and style are different because he is suitable to be a play maker not as a defensive midfielder so Madrid must move quickly to fill this gap if trying to sell Tchoaumeni.

The latest news is telling how Chelsea is just getting closer in exploring Xabi's potential to be their new coach. This is already confirmed by Ornstein and several trusted journalist. Beside that Liverpool is also officially withdrawing themselves from chasing Xabi to replace Slot. It's all due to the Liverpool board still back Slot for next season. So we may see Xabi to coach Chelsea next season.

So i think this all make sense because Liverpool directors are already fully in love with Slot. If they are serious about improving their club, they have to signed Xabi as Slot's replacement.
This situation pretty similar with when you miss a perfect girl because you already have a gf. That's why i think Liverpool won't be competitive next season.

Chelsea is that very messed-up club where Alonso may not last more than a season coaching there. They are looking for a coach that can deliver immediately within a season, and I don't think Xabi Alonso may be able to do that, and for the sake of his career, he better not go to Chelsea at this point in time. Maybe in the future once he is established.

Welcome, Xabi Alonso, to Chelsea. This deal will come true before the end of the 2025/2026 season. Well, for me, I want Chelsea to focus more on the transfer of players during the summer than on having a good manager. But I dont understand the plan of getting a manager first before signing players that will suit the manager's style of play. The manager has to be involved in the process of signing players.

[Zoomic]

This could be Chelsea's best opportunity to repair their coaching problems. Xavi Alonso is a good coach and he has proven it in the German Bundesliga. I am not so happy that Real Madrid dismissed him, making him look like an Amateur coach. Ever after Madrid dismissed him, have they gotten better?

If Chelsea will give him upto 4 years, he will return Chelsea to glory. I am very confident of this. I am not a Chelsea fan, but I'll like to see them compete in the champions league.

[Ale88]

A lot have said he is not giving too much off the pitch for Real Madrid. And that he is faking being injured do he can prepare very well for the FIFA World Cup Competition more than the way he does for Real Madrid. With back to back zero trophies, some also feel Kylian Mbappe is being used as a scapegoat for the trophy woes they're currently facing. And I believe that is just about right. One thing is sure, Jose Mourinho incoming will stop a whole lot of bullshit happening within the Real Madrid dressing room.

It should not be  forgotten that Mbappe is the top scorer in la liga this season. Mbappe has played  exceptionally well in the champions league and has been able to score a lot. Would Madrid want to let go of such a player ? At the same time, it is probably true  that Mbappe has caused problems in the Madrid squad. The atmosphere in the dressing room is  probably not good. The decision about Mbappe will probably be made  by the next Madrid manager. If Mourinho  becomes the manager, he will probably not be interested in keeping Mbappe in the squad. Although Mbappe is a good player, I have not seen Mbappe's good  relationship with his teammates  and managers. Mbappe should change his behavior.

Mbappé has always been the top scorer player also for PSG and look what happened: they let him go and for two years in a row PSG reached the Champions League final and every other single player performed better than ever compared to the past years. Is it a coincidence? I don't think so, and Luis Enrique knew it.

The new Real Madrid manager is also very important. Because if he wants to keep a strong midfielder and keep such a player in the team, he might not let him go, but in my opinion, considering team harmony, he should be sent away immediately. I think he will be sold in the summer transfer window. Real Madrid could acquire a better midfielder for a high transfer fee in his place. We all know that Real Madrid needs to strengthen its midfield.

To my mind, change demonstrates that it is more beneficial in high stakes tournaments to possess chemistry and tactical awareness, than Galactico star power. Work rate rises throughout field when everybody is equally held accountable for outcome. It is more resilient version of team that can adjust to different situations on matchday and not rely on one off brilliance of individual. It was not coincidence but need for club that had been seeking success for years with individuals other than with team.

I agree that Liverpool needs to replace Slot to win some silverware next season, but I don't think Xabi is the right person for the job ^{[at least for now]} and FWIW, I see Iraola as a better candidate for the Chelsea job than Xabi ^{[Iraola has done a wonderful job at Bournemouth (with a limited budget) and the manner in which he sets up his team seems to be more suitable for the currenct Chelsea players (don't get me wrong, Xabi is a good coach, but I don't think he will last more than 6 months in Chelsea)]}.

If they were obsessing in winning trophies, they may be searching for a professional coach who in Pep's calibre. The fact they were always signing the coach who being argued could hendle the young lads. We have seen how Xabi did it in Leverkusen, although he's failed in Madrid, but he gave impact too.
So i think they're looking for someone who can coach their young lads in order to pump the price of their players. I think winning a title is just a bonus when he can achieve it.

However, i agree it's a double edge knife for him to go there because it can be good for his career when he success, or the end of his career if he fails there. It gets worsen with how Chelsea board seems never give their coach full control over the squad and players transfer.

What Chelsea need right now is a top manager with a lot of experience at the highest level. A manager like Jose Mourinho, pep guardiola or Antonio conte that we are sure of what they can offer, not someone that is still learning on the job, because that is what xabi Alonso will do. Though he might be a success if he is given a chance because he has proven himself as the manager of Bayern Leverkusen, but due to the fact that he struggled in real madrid that has the same level of pressure like Chelsea, that is why I doubt if he can handle the Chelsea job that comes with a lot of pressure.

Chelsea is the right place for him to go and rebuild the team, if they sack him along the line good and fine he will take his paycheck and smile to the bank. The Real Madrid we all thought was the right club for him sacked him after few months. So if Chelsea are offering him the managerial job I don’t see any reason why he should reject it. Unless he has a better offer on the table that’s better than Chelsea, but if there’s no better offer than Chelsea, he should pick the offer and come do his best for the club. At the end of the day he will have nothing to lose.

I agree with you totally on this one, if I'm to be Xabi Alonso I wouldn't dare to make that move, I like the legacy he kept in the Germain Bundesliga, and even in the Real Madrid if not for the fact that he departed from the club so soon, I believe Real Madrid could not have been this awful this season, with this I would not advise him to take up that Chelsea job, because they're about to ruin his career, unless they are going to flush all those average players and get him the players of his choice, but instead the Chelsea management decides the player that are to be signed, and that won't change anything in the club, so he should forfeit that job if he still want to keep relevance in the game.

There will be a lot of talks about Real Madrid this summer. We are going to see a lot of names going out of them and going into them, not all of them will be true.

Because of what happened in the locker room and the fans we are going to see Mbappe not being wanted there, and Tcouameni and Camavinga and Valverde and even Vini, we are going to see all of them being talked about like they are getting sold and not all of them would be sold and we are going to see a lot of players like Rodri and other players rumoured to go there.

Is it a coincidence? I don't think so, and Luis Enrique knew it.

I think PSG  letting Mbappe fo would be one of the best decisions the board ever made. With Mbappe in the team, it would have been difficult for them to achieve what they have achieved in the last 2 years, not because he is a bad player,  but because the whole team rely on him and they all play to his strengths,  which sometimes is not enough to carry then through.  Right now PSG is playing as a real team, no much emphasis on one particular player and thar is what has taking them this far.

[Roseline492]

to be Xabi Alonso I wouldn't dare to make that move, I like the legacy he kept in the Germain Bundesliga, and even in the Real Madrid if not for the fact that he departed from the club so soon, I believe Real Madrid could not have been this awful this season, with this I would not advise him to take up that Chelsea job, because they're about to ruin his career, unless they are going to flush all those average players and get him the players of his choice, but instead the Chelsea management decides the player that are to be signed, and that won't change anything in the club, so he should forfeit that job if he still want to keep relevance in the game.

Is true but even if he has legacy no coach has ever had but you wouldn't say you cannot join any team that's not doing well when you have not gotten an opportunity or call from bigger team to coach, is the man in question currently coaching a team?, I believe he is not at the moment so taking a deal from Chelsea is not actually ruining the legacy he had but however is about getting signed to continue his career work on the club, getting signed by Chelsea isn't a trapped in the club and besides coaching is the primary problem of Chelsea so his presence could even did great on the club and to his legacy. Do you remember Manchester United before they signed there coach?, if it was Xabi Alonso that was about going to Manchester United we could have said it was a bad idea but if someone whom Xabi Alonso is more experienced than would recover Manchester United Xabi Alonso is also definitely up for Chelsea task.

Another home grown is likely heading to the Bayern Munich very soon. Gordon is already personally agreed to go to Bayern Munich. However, his valuation becomes the problem that prevent him to go there. NUFC wants €75 million while Bayern demands less than it.

The talk is still ongoing but i think it won't take so long for NUFC to reach an agreement with Bayern over his fees.  Bayern paid €100 million for Kane, and €60 million for Olise. Why can't they pay €75 million for Gordon when it seems reasonable price for him.

Federico Valverde has been captain in some of the Real Madrid matches which shows that he has some leadership skills unlike Aurélien Tchouaméni, so if one of them is to leave, it's most likely going to be the latter. I also don't think it's a good idea to sign Rodri. He is way past his prime and won't really bring much to Real Madrid to need a very serious defensive midfielder. I think Real Madrid will try to spend some good money this coming summer transfer period for a good replacement.

It's hard to find a defensive midfielder in Rodri's calibre. I don't also think they will try to pursue high rated midfielder owned by big club such as PSG too. So i think Rodri sounds a sense choice because he has one year left on his contract. So they can lure him to join with cheap fees.

Rodri has an experience in La Liga. It's gonna be a worthy transfer. However, his fitness is the only main concern.

Can't predictable the future team of Real Madrid next season after internal problem at locker room make many speculation at next window transfer opening who will sell and stay, firstly need waiting for new manager appointing by management before speculating who will sell and stay. I think serious problem right now happening with the future of Tcouameni and Valverde both of them which one will sell next season after serious internal problem facing, for recruiting Rodri I think need waiting decision from new manager really want to get him or not.
If Madrid really want to sell between Tcouameni or Valverde I think need to sign new holding midfielder and Rodri is the best option, a lot of speculation for new recruitment and transfer activities from Madrid team so wait and see is better ways for right now.

Do you think Xabi is just a coach that will not have an agreement with the club on what he wants before he takes over the mantle of the technical aspect of the club, Xabi is a good coach, he can not take that job without telling the management what is needul, of course Chelsea has many young and inexperienced players as such any manager that want to survive there must first of all tell the management to sell many of them and refill their space with matured and experienced players which will be the choice made by the coach,  the present Chelsea is not close to the Chelsea we know before and i blame the management for that, I think things are going to change this time if Xabi becomes the coach but if the management insist on signing the players themselves, Xabi should not accept the managerial offer.

Even before the fight Tchouameni has been linked with a summer move, but Real Madrid hadn't say they are going to sell him in the summer transfer window or not, so I think the fight triggered Real Madrid to put him on sale, even though Tchouameni has always start for Real Madrid under Alvaro Arbeloa, it's not enough reason for him to pull off an awkward attitude as no player is bigger than a club, things won't be the way they used to be for Tchouameni at Real Madrid, so the best thing for him is to leave Real Madrid as soon as possible.

I don't think these reports are correct, they may be far from the truth and what's happening in the club. First, who is buying those players with extremely high release clause, are they even worth it. Real Madrid has more internal issues they are facing than this inauthentic speculations that are not truth. Even the worst players that are not fit and are supposed to be sold haven't been put on any this discussion, not sure Tchouameni have any sign of move to another club.

Truth to be told, if they say Vinicious is living the club, even me I will believe due to how unstable the club has been. It was announced yesterday that Perez should step down as the club president and he doesn't want to leave, he has asked for election. All these happening in the club isn't even about the players anymore, it's about control which is why I think the players have the audacity to behave like they want, they have back up from Perez.
