⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[W Jr.]

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!

Wow, what's Real Madrid up to? They're taking the best players out of the Premier League to build a strong team, they really want to win a trophy next season cause the players they've signed so far are the ones with experience, not only in their league but in tne Champions League too. Cucurella is an amazing player and would do well in his home country so I think Madrid did well in signing him. If Barcelona intended signing him then this is the second time they've hijacked a good signing from Barcelona, first Bernardo Silver, now Marc Cucurella, the President of Barcelona would be so furious at Pérez. 😁😁

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.

This move came as a surprise to me like it just happened very quickly and silently. I didn’t even know about it until today. I know the Chelsea fans are probably losing their minds right now and i don’t even blame them lol. They literally just lost their best LB to Real Madrid for a meager fee; someone should check on Chelsea fans right now😂. I think this is a good signing for Real Madrid though. It was very obvious that Real Madrid were lacking in their defense and Mourinho seems to have realized that and that’s why he’s building up a solid defensive line and Cucurella is a fine player so it’s not a surprise that Mourinho would wanna go for him considering the fact that Mourinho himself is a Coach that likes to prioritize team defense. But why do i feel like Real Madrid went for Cucurella just so to spite Barcelona; i might be wrong though or not. I’m wondering which player Real Madrid are eyeing next. That being said, next season laliga competition is gonna be fire.VAMOS !!!

I think Jose Mourinho is going insane, first we are still on how sudden Bernardo Silva's deal was then boom we got another surprising deal, and the both players were all spotted by Barcelona first, but it seems Real Madrid is always some step ahead of them, and I think I'm quite loving it that way, now this signing is a massive one for the Real Madrid team no doubt, Mark Cucurella is currently one of the best Left back we are having now in the world, and for Jose Mourinho to get him with such speed actually shows how serious they want to become now.

I think this shows how focused they are on success this year. With Cucurella, in my opinion, Real Madrid's weakest position, left back, will be strengthened. New central defenders will also be added. The squad Real Madrid is building this year is one that deserves admiration. It's made up of very successful and high-quality players, and they are still signing very good players. Jose Mourinho is striving to build Los Galacticos again. It looks like we'll be watching a very good Real Madrid next year.

If the player want to go and Chelsea want to fee him, there is nothing there to convince anyone otherwise. I'm sure Cucurella want to leave Chelsea too since next season doesn't not determine his faith and a season after as well, it's better if he leave the club and go to Real Madrid where he knows that with a new manager and some additional players, things might change for good for Madrid and his career.

Cucurella is a very talented  defender. But chelsea's situation is still very unstable. They are not able  to do well. It is unlikely that they  will do well next season. So it would be better for cucurella to leave chelsea and go to madrid. Madrid management  is desperate to win the title next season. They have not won any title in two seasons.

Chelsea management probably wants to  reorganize their  squad. That is why chelsea management did not prevent Cucurella from leaving. I support it. Chelsea does  not want to force any player  into their squad.

I'm sure Cucurella will contribute a lot to this team. Real Madrid will be an interesting team, it's clear even from these transfers. Cucurella will make this team much more aggressive and stronger, he's a bit of a different kind of player and I think his character will add color to the team. Even his hair attracts a lot of attention and has a positive effect on the team.
He can play very effectively against Lamine Yamal, they seem to have made a good transfer

Real Madrid is strengthening itself both defensively and offensively with this transfer. The Spanish left-back is a strong player both defensively and offensively. I think Real Madrid, under Jose Mourinho, has analyzed their weaknesses very well and are making transfers to address them. I can only criticize the Bernardo Silva transfer because they already had many more options in attack.

After almost half a season Ruben Amorim had not got a job, he his now the new manager of AC Milan. Well Milan have been trying to get his services but it is now official. Well I believe if given the problem players he can bring stability to the club. If Milan can get him the players he desire, we saw what he did at sporting even though he had a bad spell at Manchester United I still think he can do well at AC Milan.

Milan also now need to do better at recruiting players, since that have now added Ibrahimovic amongst the sporting directors, I believe a lot will change around the club.
 
Let see if Amorim can change the lives of fans in Milan, they want to be in contention for the scudetto.

Amorim is a good coach. In my opinion, he was dismissed too quickly at Manchester United because everyone expected results that he simply wasn't able to deliver at the time.I actually think things could be even more difficult for him at Milan than they were in England. Expectations at Milan are very high right now, the fans are frustrated, and they want results immediately. Because of that, there will be a lot of pressure on Amorim from the very beginning.I honestly wish him the best of luck and hope he succeeds.

[Taricoins]

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.

I can only hope this transfer is working for them. I have seen how mid Amorim was. So i don't have much expectation for them. Milan has mid squad. It's not something Amorim can execute it well. I remind you how he handed so much money by MU, but he's still unable to deliver the expectation.
So what he can do with the club that may give him lesser money to buy players compared to MU?this is a gambling by Milan's management after they failed to secure Glasner signature.

With the level of scarcity of coaches in Europe its really logically to see Amorim being called as a teams coach In one of the notable teams even as a mid coach. But looking at it, I feel it's better because atleast they are not recycling same old Italian coaches anymore, all those Allegri group of people should just leave Serie A alone. Maybe Amorim might surprise us and do better than his stint in Man United

This can still be forced at least with the scheme that Amorim has it will not be too far from Milan's current pattern of play so that adaptation alone must be improved for Amorim in providing treatment for the current squad.

Milan for now always tend with their 3 defenders and this is in accordance with the wishes that Amorim has always done in his coaching career because he always tries 3 defenders and prioritizes for the midfield to be more able to master the field and this is a failure for him in the EPL but he could be quite effective in Serie A.
Amorim is official and he should have an idea of the squad for the future and the only thing to do now is to keep some of his players because for this transfer several players including Maignan are quite interested in several clubs and Milan must try to keep this wall as a goalkeeper next season.

Yet, it didn't work at Manchester United, who do we give the blame, on the players on coach because not much changes was done when Carrick took over and let United into the Champions League, maybe he didn't fit well into the system, or the club was so big for him to handle.

Hopefully, he will have a good season at AC Milan, may things get better for him there, I believe he can match the strength of the club, not as competing as the Premier League but also a great league that has a tough standard.

I disagree with this selected coach for milan, manchester united never had a good game style during his period in the team and often there are wrong player in the pitch. If Zlatan want an ex manchester united coach to training milan, the best choice will be erik ten hag, at least in his two years experience the red devil play sometimes a great football but without results.

You are comparing when you should compare clubs. It is not packe with higher expectations in Italy than it is in England. It is all about the club you are working for and Manchester United was on the brink becoming a a mediocre club despite the huge history they have. That is why they were watching out for a high potential and I am sure they talked about it and whether he thinks he can get Manchester United up again and he has probably answered yes.

The pressure at Manchester United is at least as high as it is at Milan. Milan now wants back into the CL next season, I think that is the most important goal. Manchester United now already is in the CL and goals are higher.

Whether he is a good coach or not, I suppose you can only base your assumption on what he has done with Sporting.

Ruben Amorim was helping the club Manchester United? Check his stats and come back, you will noticed how he dragged the club to mud with his tactics which was clearly not working for them. The Red Devils going higher from being one of the most competitive team in the English premier League to become some random team settling for lesser scores. Ruben Amorim always knew in his mind that his days at Old Trafford was numbered and every time the club's board plan on executing the drastic action of letting him go, he picked up good form and this have been going on for so long and the club and the fans are fed up and laying complaints which led Ruben Amorim to the exits of Old Trafford.

Michael Carrick was the interim manager for club and he was just here to manage Manchester United till end of season but he did extra by carrying Manchester United to qualify for the UEFEA Champions League next season, this is incredible and the board had no other option than to retain him as manager since he fits so well and having good chemistry with the players.

Every elite side needs a manager like Michael Carrick who doesn't panic and have to become fierce towards his oppositions, he carries the club on his shoulders and today, every Manchester United fan is proud and all pouring accolades on his because he do deserves it.

Amorim's departure wasn't exactly on good terms he was sent away from Manchester United.
Now he's signed a long contract with Milan. Let's see what level he'll take Milan to it looks like a long journey. They need to achieve a significant result in the Europa League, and also in the league. Milan finished fifth this season; they need to aim for the top three. Milan is a respected club, and finishing 5th isn't very pleasant.

Going further, I assume we mean the same thing. Amorim couldn't hold the team in one piece, the delivery was poor, seeing what Carrick is doing for the club, he deserves to kept as full time permanent coach, next season is just by the corner after the World Cup ends, I will love to see what and where he can take the team towards, how far United will go in the UEFA Champions League.

He was a very good manager at Sporting
Before signing for Manchester United, he speculated to be the next big manager in Europe
He came to Old Trafford and couldn't live up to expectations
Now, Ruben Amorim has been given the opportunity to redeem his image at one of the biggest clubs in Europe
I wish he'll be able to do better than we ever expected of him because I really wanna see him succeed.

Cucurella is a very talented  defender. But chelsea's situation is still very unstable. They are not able  to do well. It is unlikely that they  will do well next season. So it would be better for cucurella to leave chelsea and go to madrid. Madrid management  is desperate to win the title next season. They have not won any title in two seasons.

Chelsea management probably wants to  reorganize their  squad. That is why chelsea management did not prevent Cucurella from leaving. I support it. Chelsea does  not want to force any player  into their squad.

I'm sure Cucurella will contribute a lot to this team. Real Madrid will be an interesting team, it's clear even from these transfers. Cucurella will make this team much more aggressive and stronger, he's a bit of a different kind of player and I think his character will add color to the team. Even his hair attracts a lot of attention and has a positive effect on the team.
He can play very effectively against Lamine Yamal, they seem to have made a good transfer

Lolz....!!!! 
Improvement is not their aim. They just want to stop Lamin Jamal like teg only brought to just stop him but still I don't think that they can easily stop him. Due to Lamin Jamal Real Madrid spend a lot of money on his position stopage but unfortunately they couldn't find any way for him to stop him form better outcome.....

However, Cucurella is fantastic player his attributes at fullback position is absolutely phenomenal like he can do a overlapping role as well as wing attacking role. So probably his addition in team can bring up so better results but still I will tell here that they won't be able to stop Lamin Jamal.

Abstract: Real Madrid finally have a Spanish player representing in this world cup, hahaha...
Cucurella is an excellent addition to the squad, left position will be at ease now and this is not about Yamal but finally lifting a trophy or trophies after two seasons of empty cabinets.

Jose Mourinho got a wonderful addition and Cucurella impact will be more felt at Real Madrid than Barcelona, he can become a club legend just we can consider him as one currently after starting poorly but became everyone's favorites in the end.

It was an amazing signing for real Madrid after six years of Cucurella in Chelsea, he has always been the strength of Chelsea defense especially in the left back and I'm also wondering whom Chelsea have in mind as there left back is going to Real Madrid, or is Jorrel Hato the one that would be replacing Cucurella because he is another good left foot I often like the way he plays on the defense and he is almost as experience as Cucurella. The defense that was also real Madrid problem last season is going to become strong as before with Cucurella and Antonio Rudiger that's already there leading defender.

I am not sure Marc Cucurella has stayed in Chelsea for six years, if i can remember very well, he came to Chelsea around 2022, that should make him four years. My worry is the fact that, who is he going to replace in that madrid Left back, because I thought they had Mendy on that wing, except Mourinho wants to bench Mendy and Garcia, or he would probably be switching them, though Cucurella is more defensively gallant than both of those players. Chelsea is already looking like they are not feeling the pulse of Cucurella leaving, although I know some of your fans have been complaining that this was one of their best defenders, but I feel Barcelona has even complained more.

He moved to Chelsea from Brighton back in 2021, so he spent 5 years playing for Chelsea, and previously he played 1 year only for Brighton.
And you're right, Real Madrid already have Mendy but last year they purchased Carreras from Benfica and they also have Raúl Asencio, that's a lot of players in that position...

[Stepstowealth]

Jose Mourinho got a wonderful addition and Cucurella impact will be more felt at Real Madrid than Barcelona,

It will be interesting to see what the coach will turn him into because he already has the talents and then the coach Jose Mourinho is a coach who is known to improve players talent and build them confidence. I wish some other Spanish teams could make the same sort of investment that Barcelona Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid usually make every year into their team That is sign quality and top players because it would be nice to have another team compete for the La Liga asides these three top teams known for a couple of years dominating the Spanish league. Girona came close to that status a few seasons back, it did not end well, and they fell right back.

Cucurella is not a young talent that needs to improve, or still have raw talent. He is a mature and experience player that can hit the ground running because at his age and experience at the top level, if he fails to live up to the expectations placed on him, then we all can agree to the fact that he wasn't up to the standard to play for real madrid in the first place, but since their is always room for improvement, maybe he can improve on his current form under the leadership of Jose Mourinho.

It would have been interesting for that to happen, but it's not possible because their is not enough money in the Spanish laliga, like in the English premier league where the team that finishes numbers twenty in the league earns even more than the title winners in the Spanish laliga. So the poor tv right revenue is the main reason other smaller teams can't invest much like this top three teams in the Spanish laliga.

[AprilioMP]

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 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 felt the same way about Cucurella’s transfer to Real Madrid. Whenever a big club—especially one of Real Madrid’s caliber—makes a transfer, it’s always a hot topic of conversation. Even long before it was official, rumors about the player’s arrival at the Santiago Bernabéu were already circulating widely.
What I observed from Real Madrid this past season—with two coaches in a single season—confirms what you said: their issues lie in the backline. The front line also didn’t perform as brilliantly as expected, despite Kylian Mbappé. The French national team captain, who partners with Vinícius, lacks a player willing to step back like Benzema did for Ronaldo and Bale.

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.

Releasing some players is something that will definitely happen. But we’ll have to wait and see what Mourinho and Perez do. As for rebuilding the Galacticos, it feels like that’s no longer possible.
