⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[MArsland]

Cucu joining Madrid is actually a shocker and for the Chelsea team, if there is no early plan on how to find a worthy replacement, they will certainly suffer for it in the coming season because cucu and caicedo have literally carried the team on their shoulder. but then, it is a good signing for the Spain left back who is now going to the best club in the world. Chelsea will miss him greatly but he will be a good plus to the real Madrid team.

Cucurella has certainly surprised everyone, even Fabrizio. The transfer process was very quick and the player did not show that he was going to Madrid before after he was optimistic about coach Xabi Alonso at that time. Madrid squad next season under Mourinho is definitely something to look forward to as the backline now looks scary.

Glasner is a realist, he knows that he can't take over and make this team great in a single season, and from the rumours (and these are just rumours I do not know if it's real) he requested a few seasons to be strong team again. This may have caused them to look elsewhere.

I think AC Milan made a mistake by going with Amorim at this stage ^{[his teams usually are attack-minded, but last time I checked, AC Milan had some issues with signing more attacking players and to make matters worse, Rafael Leão is leaving]}... Amorim is a good coach, but he requires the services of great players to succeed, while Glasner has already proven he can do more with less ^{[referring to the backing of the board]}.

Then it is about time the management of AC Milan goes back into the transfer market getting him qualified and quality attacking players already. The transfer window just got opened officially today, we shall see if they back him all up. I'm also keen to see how well he infuses and utilise the legend of the game Luka Modric.
Great time ahead for Ac Milan fans and Ruben Amorim. What was not achieved with Manchester United, he will most definitely with Ac Milan.

He’s projected to be Carvajal’s replacement. That makes sense, but I was surprised by Real Madrid’s decision to sign Cucurella. Marc Cucurella is one of my favorite left-backs in the Premier League. His arrival at the Santiago Bernabéu is particularly interesting because, as far as I know, Cucurella is a player who spent part of his career with Barcelona.

Mourinho will make Cucurella a competitor for Carreras. Since Cucurella got more playing time at Chelsea and was Spain’s starting left-back at the World Cup, I think he’ll be Jose Mourinho’s first choice at left-back to start the new season.

Real Madrid signing Denzel Dumfries and Mark Cucurella actually surprised me. I was expecting Real to make another multimillion "superstar" transfer, but they are actively working to reform their defensive line. Maybe they are going to drop that multimillion transfer "bomb" after the World Cup ends. There were no signs for Cucurella joining Real, but I can guess that Mourinho becoming the new Real coach/manager could've influenced the player for his decision to leave Chelsea.
Another top transfer is Ismael Saibari being bought by Bayern Munich for around 55 million euro. Saibari was one of the top PSV Eindhoven players and now he will join one of the best football clubs in the world. I hope that he dominates the Bundesliga and becomes one of the best Bayern Munich players.

Real Madrid seem to be taking their preparations very seriously .... To be honest, I didn’t expect they would sign  Cucurella, given that there hadn’t been any news or rumours circulating, and suddenly the transfer had just  gone through. One of Real Madrid’s perennial weaknesses has been their lack of solidity at the back and it seems Mourinho is really aware of this issue , therefore, the majority of the new signings are defenders, and for the time being, Bernardo Silva is the only player who is not a defender.

I don’t think Real Madrid will stop there, as it looks like they’re still  set to sign more star players, but I also suspect that some players will have to be let go, because to make such a overhaul , Real Madrid need substantial funds, and one way to secure that is by selling some players . It looks as though either Valverde or Tchouameni will be offloaded.

After Mourinho brought in four players, the old players had to fight for the main positions. So it's not just Álvaro Carreras, I think it's a pretty good competition so the players are motivated to give their best. Reportedly Mourinho will still bring in more new players because he is still not satisfied.

the 4 signing so far doesn't make the complete team but it has to do with the positions that has been giving them serious concern in the last few season that been said the players should be motivated to improve their performance and to the players that are not doing well they will surely have good competition for their position next season. Jose Mourinho will definitely bring new players they are in the market and before the beginning of the new season we may see more big news.

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’d like to congratulate Arbeloa on his new role as Fulham’s head coach. Arbeloa really needed to take this job to avoid being out of work for too long and to improve his skills as a coach. This role is certainly not easy for Arbeloa, as the Premier League is the most competitive league. However, becoming Fulham’s coach is, in my opinion, the right choice because Fulham certainly isn’t demanding trophies from Arbeloa, so the pressure on him isn’t too great. I hope Arbeloa can do a good job with Fulham.

Some time ago, if I'm not mistaken Amorim was rumored to be the ACM coach, and that has happened. The agreement runs until June 2028 with an option until 2029. ACM will only be participating in the Europa League next season. This should be a good journey if they can restore ACM's performance to a better level.

Cucurela shock everyone including himself 

He reportedly said that he's happy at Chelsea about just three days ago and his transfer happened overnight. I hope he can do better at Real Madrid under Jose in the coming season. Enzo Fernandez deal to Madrid is also underway as widely reported. Chelsea is losing some of their important players probably because they will not be playing in any European competition next season.

As for Madrid, they did below expectation this season. They want to make it up next season and they're very aggressive in the transfer market to make sure things work out for them. The defence was among the area they fell short last season and they are working to strengthen it judging from the players they have signed and about to sign.

Chelsea don't have an important income for the next season since they qualified for nothing so selling few players to maximise their profit from him is the only move they have. The player contract was not extended last year although they changed few terms and with the reduced contract period every year, his profit will be lower so Chelsea agreed to sell him.
Jorrel Hato is expected to replace him unless suitable player was found
For Real Madrid, that signing is among the other planned or underway ones like signing Ibrahima Konate, Denzel Dumfries and Bernardo Silva.

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 must say I am happy for Arbeloa that he finally got a club to manage, and it's the best decision for him right now. There's no way he will be starting out at Real Madrid and gain the necessary experience as he should. It always much better to start out at the lowest level before gradually making it to the top. Arbeloa did well as the interim manager for Madrid but with lack of experience there's no way he will be appointed as the head coach for the club because Real Madrid will never want to settle for less.

It's a big deal for him and a good place to start out again. EPL is never an easy place but as you said if he performs well then there will be offers from other top clubs definitely someday.

Some time ago, if I'm not mistaken Amorim was rumored to be the ACM coach, and that has happened. The agreement runs until June 2028 with an option until 2029. ACM will only be participating in the Europa League next season. This should be a good journey if they can restore ACM's performance to a better level.

Another good team for Amorim despite failing at Manchester United. Milan might be a little less than United but I think it's a tough league to go to even though the pressure is not as much as in United.
I hope they can maybe challenge for the title next season or try to win a any title at least to buy himself more time at the club.

So much noises about Cucurella transfer to Real Madrid. Meanwhile, journalist is starting to report that if Enzo is also keen to follow Cucurela's path. Enzo is interesting to wear Madrid's shirt. So i think this opens possibility for him to go there.

However, Chelsea puts 120m as the gate for him. Nevertheless, 120m sounds easy for Madrid. I hope that Perez will also consider to make a move for Enzo as well.

No doubt that Chelsea has been one of Madrid's best business partner. Will we also see Enzo goes to Madrid? What do you guys think?

I will not be mind blown if Jose Mourinho comes January transfer to make a bid for the Ecuadorian midfielder Caicedo likewise. He is the next makalele and he has all the qualities to be a Madridster.

The news about Enzo Fernandez concrete and he has no further desire to remain with Chelsea. I keep wondering what happens next to players like Cole Palmer and the rest. The management are the major cause of all these. They choose to focus on making profits rather than growing the footballing part of the club which generates trophies and further profits.

If Enzo is also leaving from the club. It's motivating other players to follow them. However, i also believe some players like Palmer and Caicedo are still having loyalty to their club. Nevertheless, it's gonna be a blunder for Chelsea to let more and more key players to leave.

Cucu and Enzo were the players helped them to score a lot last season. I can't imagine when they play without them.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Chelsea don't have an important income for the next season since they qualified for nothing so selling few players to maximise their profit from him is the only move they have.

Good thing is they have high profile players to sell off and make other new purchases. They made a good choice to secure Xabi Alonso. Let's wait till July, hopefully he can restructure the team and pull them from this mess.

For Real Madrid, that signing is among the other planned or underway ones like signing Ibrahima Konate, Denzel Dumfries and Bernardo Silva.

As for Madrid, Florentino Pérez should allow José Mourinho make his choices of players. Personally, I don't understand why they decided to sign Bernardo Silva at that age, when they don't have a strong need for him. You can have a team filled with super players and still fail to win the local league just like it happened last season. I know the club is insanely rich, so financial mistakes can be covered up.

ACM will only be participating in the Europa League next season. This should be a good journey if they can restore ACM's performance to a better level.

Milan is a team on the decline for ages now, well I guess he won't be under immense pressure to raise them to the top since the team has been on consistent struggles. He might be given the time to try a fix the team so they could at least compete in Europe, even if it's the Europa league for a start while still trying to further improve the team. In a team with less pressure to perform, he might actually have that spark to do things differently that may yield better results in the season. Under Manchester United, the pressure was high, coupled with the fact that the team is a global team with lots of fan base across the world unlike Milan. Life might actually be easier for him here and I hope it favours him.

Enzo Fernandez deal to Madrid is also underway as widely reported. Chelsea is losing some of their important players probably because they will not be playing in any European competition next season.

But they will still be playing in the Premier league, it makes no sense to deliberately lose player, and good ones at that simply because they are not going to be playing in any European competition next season, except I don't or do not understand how it all work, I feel that it's Chelsea's performance in the coming premier league season that will determine whether or not they will play in the upper coming Europe competition, so they still need to perform well in the coming season and hence, they still need to have good players.

As for Madrid, they did below expectation this season. They want to make it up next season and they're very aggressive in the transfer market to make sure things work out for them. The defence was among the area they fell short last season and they are working to strengthen it judging from the players they have signed and about to sign.

I am not a fan of Real Madrid but I commend their efforts so far in going out and signing new players that will help take the club to a higher height come next season, this shows that the club is very serious with their football business.

Cucurella is definitely one of the most important player at Chelsea and its really going to be a great loss them, but it's a very good one from Real Madrid who are on a course of rebuild right now. The most shocking thing about this transfer is that nobody expected it, so it came at a surprise to all of us. Anyways Chelsea has no choice right now, than to move on from him and try to get in a replacement of the same class or even better, because anything less is really going to affect the teams performance for the upcoming season. Congratulations to Real Madrid,  because they really got a good player.

He might be given the time to try a fix the team so they could at least compete in Europe, even if it's the Europa league for a start while still trying to further improve the team.

Amorim has one problem, which is the hunger for a better result. He doesn't understand how to rearrange everything from scratch in a way that can mount a certain level of pressure on their opponent, he doesn't make any effort to control the game tactically, nothing new, nothing innovative. That way, it's easy for top teams to learn and adapt to the reverse pattern, score plenty of goals and make good players look useless.

Under Manchester United, the pressure was high, coupled with the fact that the team is a global team with lots of fan base across the world unlike Milan. Life might actually be easier for him here and I hope it favours him.

Problem was, he wasn't supposed to have been in United in the first place. I also hope it works out for him, but there's a lot of work to do.

Really crazy what Chelsea is doing. They have been rebuilding the team for such a long time and already a couple of years they were rebuilding and now they sell the player that was one of the best in their team. I cannot believe they are so greedy for the money,i doubt they will get a player that is the same quality or even close,he was a big part of their system.

While on the other hand Real Madrid got a good player that can run a lot and help them a lot in defence and in attack. So far Real Madrid rebuilding their team really good and i think they will bring even more players.
