⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Fiatless]

I can't believe with my eyes. Romano is posting a tweet about Cucurela that's reached a verbal agreement to join Madrid in summer. So i feel this is a big transfer. I meant he has no release clause. So i think Madrid paid so much money for Chelsea for him.
Cucurela is obviusly an upgrade from fran garcia, which is good. This is such a bold move from Madrid. The last time i've heard Barcelona wanted him, but it's now Madrid who get his signature. Damn! what a surprise!

Reports has it that it was a verbal agreement. So the deal have not been finalised by the player and both clubs. Some news outlets reported that the deal might cost Real Madrid about  €50 million (£43m). Fran Garcia and Alvaro Carreras are not living up to expectations in left back position and Ferland Mendy have had a long injury. Marc Cucurella  fits Jose Mourinho's aggressive playing style. I foresee more player leaving Chelsea because of their inconsistency last season.

Arbeloa is doing the best for himself. He needs to gain some experience to earn being a manager for a top team. He was brought to Real Madrid in a really unexpected situation before.  

If he does a good work at Fulham next season then I think he will attract attention from a little bigger teams. Step by step he can earn his place at a top team maybe who knows...

I just saw this news that Álvaro Arbeloa is reportedly set to become Fulham head coach. I think this is a potentially exciting opportunity to experience some of the fiercest competition in the Premier League. Fulham have consistently finished in the middle of the table for the past three seasons, so Arbeloa will be expected to improve their position in the table.

Arbeloa is currently a strong candidate to coach Fulham. If that happens it will create a very interesting cycle. The cycle I'm referring to is Marco Silva, who was Fulham's manager last season, leaving for Benfica to replace Mourinho, who left for Real Madrid to replace Arbeloa and Arbeloa joining Fulham to replace Marco Silva who left for Benfica. These three clubs have been alternating coaches.

But I think Albeloa would be a good fit for Fulham especially since Arbeloa has a good approach to young players, plus Fulham is also very keen on maximizing the potential of young players. Furthermore, Albeloa is a former Real Madrid player and coach known for his discipline. Hopefully, he can bring stability and improvement to Fulham in the Premier League.

It seems Perez is just trying to front-running Barcelona in term of players transfer. He's playing a political game here. When i'm reading it, i'm also surprised how fast Madrid is acting to strengthen their club for the next season. They are likely doing anything to ensure Barcelona's domination won't be last longer. I give applause to the Perez over this. He deserves it.

That's what I had in mind, and perhaps it's clear that Madrid do want to get ahead of Barcelona after seeing the Cucurella transfer. Whoever is linked to Barcelona, Madrid will be quick to get them, as we know Silva and Cucurella were linked to Barcelona, and boom! Madrid got them, even Alvarez who was being worked on by Barcelona was not spared by Madrid. Now Madrid will be much better next season (which I expect) Silva, Cucurella, Dumfries and Konate will be good additions, just lacking one more in my opinion, a right wing forward.

Wow... And what the exact hell is Real Madrid cooking in this transfer window?.
We're yet to see the €150M Galactico signing, but we've seen about 4 already. I barely remember/know all the Real Madrid players, but I want to believe that Marc Cucurella should be their current 3rd Left Back, if not 4th, but I'm not sure. Well, who cares?, it's important that clubs gets as much as they can... It's all left to them to know how to use those players. Perhaps, we might see Real Madrid making so many sales this season in order to balance their books or make profits for themselve. But I won't be surprise if they refuse to sell.

If you know Jose very will then you will know bringing him to the team certainly means Real Madrid will improve. Managers comes to clubs to improve them. Jose is known for success everywhere he goes and I see him succeeding in Real Madrid for the second time.

If you know Mourinho?? Hey man, I'm a Madrid fan, and I've been pretty familiar with Mourinho. And if you're saying Mourinho is known for his success wherever he's been, then how did he get fired from AS Roma? Then why did Fenerbahçe decide to fire Mourinho? And one more thing, why was Mourinho only able to lead Benfica to a top 3 finish and fail to secure a UCL ticket?

If you know your football well you will know what Madrid was lacking season are the things they are currently fixing. The midfield, the defense, and a coach the players will listen to. That has always been the problem and Jose will bring all that to the club. For me success is guaranteed in the second tenor of Jose morihno.

Are you sure about what you're saying??

Meanwhile, Madrid has experienced injury problems with its main players for several seasons, and its reserves haven't been fully reliable. And if you say all these problems are due to the coach, what about the Ancelotti era?

I don't know why you dare to guarantee that Mou can take Madrid to a high level, while Mourinho's team still employs outdated tactics that are difficult to adapt to the modern era.

So, I'm saying all of this based on my observations and facts, not random analysis.

I didn't have great expectations for Arbeloa but I must admit that after all, considering this Real Madrid are a total mess, he did pretty good. Let's not forget they managed to kick out Manchester City from the Champions League (in my opinion City were the favorite team) and they did well against Bayern Munich too.

[ITExpert]

He's a very good player and Real Madrid made the right decision to sign him with the way Real Madrid are signing players I believe next season they will do much better than last season the coach knows what to do and he knows the right players to use to make a very big and huge change in Real Madrid it won't be easy for Barcelona next season because the competition will be much for them I believe in Mourinho, congratulation to silver he made the right choice to go to Real Madrid, Real Madrid is a very big and good club for him and I believe he's going to perform very well over there.

The next years competition are going to be very tough because almost all the teams are struggling great to achieve their best. And it is expected that Real Madrid performance will also be the far better than their previous seasons. Because the very firstly they signed a new coach and people are showing their confidence upon him that he will manage the team to perform strongly. And the addition of new players are also making sure good things for Real Madrid because Bernardo silva is a great player and it will be proven as the right decision by the decision makers. Bernardo silva is a young player with strong career highlights and he can play as the best and versatile midfielder. And the team needs such players so that they can re build themselves as a great team once again.

It confirmed and here we go already, an agreement has been reached and cucurella will be going to Real Madrid for a fee over a 60million euros. It a good deal fire Real Madrid, cucurrlla is proven and we have seen him stop top attackers. For me he has improved so much and seeing him at Real Madrid this period is really good. The big shock was we didn’t even know Real Madrid was negotiating a deal for him with Chelsea, it was all atletico Madrid and out of no where, it here we go.

Cucu has expressed his desire to leave Chelsea This summer, he wasn’t happy about how they management dismissed Maresca. Well now he his back home, and honestly what Real Madrid is building this summer is mind blowing.

I enjoyed Arbeloa's time at Real Madrid. Real Madrid were unstoppable under Arbeloa while Mbappe was out of the team. Even in the Champions League, Real Madrid played relatively well and unexpectedly started to snatch victories. Arbeloa tried hard in an unstable Real Madrid and he did better than we expected.

Fulham are a promising team in the Premier League. They have managed to maintain a mid-table position every season. If Arbeloa can get this team into the top 10 next season, then I will consider him successful. His reputation will only start to grow when he qualifies for the Champions League with Fulham or for the Europa League. If he can also win the Conference League, his reputation will continue to grow and the big teams will be attracted to him. But in any case, a good position in the Premier League must be secured.

Ruben Amorim will be returning to the seria A to take up AC Milan job. AC Milan had initially terminated Massimiliano Allegri's appointment at the end of the season due to their bad performance and failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season. There has been rumours linked to the Crystal palace Oliver Glasnar but it seems Ruben Amorim now has an upper hand in the discussion. What do you think about this move, will Ruben Amorim make the difference or do you think he is not good for the job? I personally know that Ruben Amorim is a good coach following his reputation at Sporting CP prior to his arrival at Manchester United. Maybe the premier League is more difficult to manage than several other leagues. So he can still lead AC Milan to something better by the end of the season in Seria A.

This is what I do not understand about most teams when they are selecting a new manager. This is not a done deal, so maybe Amorim will not be at the head of AC Milan. But if he does, and rumours are true, and the greenlight is given, then my question is, why? Why would you hire someone who has done very badly at his last job and got fired?

Now in other jobs of the world, if you get fired, the next employer doesn't really know the details, so you can hide it, and just show that you worked for a long time. But we all watched him be terrible and Carrick took over and did better, so we know Amorim is bad, so why would Milan hire someone who we all watched being bad? This is the dude that made United lose to a fourth division team and now Milan wants him? That makes no sense.

[jakdanyel]

How do you feel about Barcola to be sold by PSG? Comparing to last season there was a serious downgrade in his performance in this one. 42 score contribution went down to 20.

He is still 23 years old though. Let's say they decided to sell him. Do they have a good replacement in their mind? If not then he should be given more chances I believe.

I can't believe with my eyes. Romano is posting a tweet about Cucurela that's reached a verbal agreement to join Madrid in summer. So i feel this is a big transfer. I meant he has no release clause. So i think Madrid paid so much money for Chelsea for him.

If Cucurella is leaving then I think Xabi Alonso will seriously go for Alex Grimaldo. He has already worked with him at Leverkusen and Grimaldo is really a brilliant player!

Arbeloa has been with Real Madrid for a very long term, he used 5 years to coach academic player before he was later used as acting coach when Xabi left. I don't know why they were so quick to let him go because of few games but since there was never official signing, he doesn't need to be bother about that, this should be an opportunity to scale better. I never even knew him before that replacement until he became Real Madrid acting coach.

Fulham had a good player but maybe they need some touch of good coach to have a better season. They are just like Arsenal on the low that do spike up and down and have wonderful performance when nobody expect them. Fulham doesn't have any European league which is less stress and big focus on the Premier League. He can do the job and also help himself, at least he can defend his reputation that Real Madrid will wish they have kept him in the club.

This is a very wise purchase in my opinion Instead of buying foreign players Real Madrid is more interested in buying Spanish players. This is very good especially since Real Madrid squad isn't registered for this World Cup. With the purchase of Cucurela Real Madrid now officially has a player who will play for the Spanish national team for the 2026 World Cup. This is an unexpected move and hopefully, what Romano reported is true. With this purchase, Real Madrid is very serious about creating a very solid defense line that can be penetrated by opposing teams next season. After previously Denzel Dumfries and Ibrahim Konate, this time Cucurela arrival was truly a surprise for Fans.

Well during his days at Roma, he led them to win their first European trophy and their first title since 2008, and also please do well to check the caliber of players he did it with.

At Benfica he took over pretty late, he didn’t start the season with them, they were struggling when he took Over and he lead them to be unbeaten all season, not that it an achievement but it something for a club he didn’t started the season with.

Mind you all these Club you mentioned are not even at their prime, they are struggling teams at their various league. He all know what he did at teams that were in their primes.

Real Madrid problem is a manager problem, thank God you brought about Ancelotti era, they succeeded because he was well respected among the players and they believed in his project, they believed because he was know to be a winner every where he goes just like morihno and he has managed big players and he knows how to get the best out of them.

You entitled to your opinion if you don’t believe in him, for me I believe he will succeed at Real Madrid.

[Majestic-milf]

 Omg I didn't expect that Cucurella will leave to Madrid this summer cause he was one the players I felt was loyal to Chelsea but at the end of the day, he wants to play champions league football and whenever Mourinho calls, you answer. This is a good move for hi and £50m is a befitting figure for the Spanish left back.

This is a really surprising move even though it isn’t completely finalized but nobody expected this move from Madrid and I was also very shocked when I saw this tweet from Fabrizio.

Real Madrid have made some quite good number of signing in this window and it really making sense right now…they’re basically strengthening the squad and hopes it works out for them, maybe these signings were part of the terms Mourinho gave Perez before agreeing to join Real Madrid.

I saw some post earlier after this tweet comparing Barcelona’s transfer spending on Gordon and Real Madrid spending on Konate, Silva, Dumfries and now Marc Cucurela, and it’s really funny how the total amount the two clubs spend is almost the same and Real Madrid got four players( two for free) and Barca got just one.

I laughed at this news, this is not just Madrid calling is champions league football calling and the player answered. Nothing productive has come out of Chelsea ever since they won the WORLD CLUB CUP it has been the only pride they have even when they lost more than 5 games in a row, honestly speaking Chelsea have so much players that deserves more than what they are getting and this move is the best for the Spanish left back. Marc Cucurella has been one of the players at Chelsea that have the ability to run from end to end to win the ball for his teammates and again, Yamal should be ready for a more competitive game next season because it won't be an easy season whenever they play Madrid.

Chelsea themselves are in the trouble of not getting the right mindset which is something that they ought to have sorted out but so far all the coaches that have handled the club have seem to fall although xabi Alonso will take on the big task next season and hopefully he gets to set things straight but that aside this particular transfer was a surprising one and the former Chelsea left himself wouldn't have taught that he is going to Real Madrid very soon, I believe it's all because of the Mourinho as he likes that are committed in giving their very best.

Real Madrid paid €60 million, that's not a lot for this kind of player. Deals like this didn't have rumours, yes because no one knew this was going to happen and it's coming as a shock to all of us. Real Madrid didn't even declare interest in his signature not now not previously, it just happened, no speculations no rumours from anywhere or whatever. I like this kind of transfer, it shows that the president is finally getting serious after several years of neglect regarding the back line. They have 3 new defenders in strategic areas. One LB and one RB to complement the English man and the Spanish man.

Barcelona only use their mouths to buy players and nothing more. Any player that they're interested in takes time before they sign him and for that reason any club that's also interested in that player can easily sign them before Barcelona will be ready. Real Madrid is richer than Barcelona and a dream club for every player to play for. I'm happy that Real Madrid is strengthening the team for next season.
