⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Byebyebtc]

At this point, I strongly believe Jorge Jesus is just toying with Ronaldo. You shouldn’t call a player up when you know you have no plans of playing him. P.S. I’m not saying this just because it’s Ronaldo, I didn’t like how Tuchel didn’t play Kobbie Mainoo on the World Cup as well. I guess some managers are that way. Hopefully, Ronaldo has learnt his lesson and does not coming back to a team where the manager and players don’t want him.

Ronaldo will still play, of cause withnesing Messi's retirement will make him feel some type of unfulfilled, and he will want to have a better retirement. Now all of a sudden he doesn't want to retire again 

[Majestic-milf]

 I'm not surprised that he's not retiring yet, and I'm sure he's had rethink about his decision solely because it will ruin the legacy he's trying if he retires so early.
 Personally, I feel it's up to the coach to do whatever he wants with players. It's not to cool to ask them to warm up and then not use them but it's not as if Ronaldo is the first person to get this treatment but suddenly it happens to him and he cries like a baby and throws tantrums. The only thing Ronaldo will do if he comes back is to make everything be all about him and nothing else. Portugal played well in his absence and I doubt that if he doesn't come back, it will affect the team much though.

Well he is 42 in February. All good things come to an end so it really isn’t that much of a surprise that his time with the international team is coming to an end. He has had an amazing career, one of the greatest ever but eventually age catches up with everybody.

What is the tendency of Jorge Jesus getting sacked? If the coach is bringing the team to win majority of their matches and could contend exhaustively in any competition, the manager cannot be fired. Ronaldo like you said will be turning 42, in  about five months, he has more to lose than the coach, emotions aside, let's hope Ronaldo comes to realise that this could be his own fare well, and is definitely disheartening that the mighty is  badly treated (he takes some of the blame).

The Portuguese coach is intentionally toying with Ronaldo's feelings. The coach told Ronaldo he wouldn't play him for two matches because of his health and later asked if he could give him 30 minutes, but then disappointed him by giving him none. Ronaldo didn't ask for it. The coach said those words.

The force driving Ronaldo is to accomplish his goal. Everything else doesn't matter to him.

Chelsea made new signings in the defense this transfer window with Lacroix and Palestra and that was quite a good addition to the team but there is still the absence of an experienced defender in the team. More defenders like Reece James is needed in the Chelsea to maintain composure and steady their foot play.

The absence of Enzo Fernandes has also affected them greatly too, even with Rogers in the team, because Reece James is now playing a displayed position and that has affected their pattern of playing.

This season Chelsea don’t want to left behind and that’s they want to do everything possible to package their team up and get the best out of the players to able to face any of their opponents. The biggest problem of Chelsea is defender and the center, because it seems that the signing that they made in transfer windows which was midfield attack and the two defenders are weak, that’s why their faces challenges when ever they play match.

Between Chelsea and Manchester United I don’t know which of them their performance is better than each other, because both face same challenges every seasons. Shall Manchester United performance’s later better when the season was about to end, but Chelsea performance worst.

I do not see the FPF parting ways with Jorge Jesus any moment from now because he just signed a long term contract and the team performance is actually looking to back him too, so why will the federation spend money to get rid of him for a player that will obviously be leaving soon? I don’t see it happening rather the situation will be resolve in dialogue and Ronaldo might have his last game as the farewell match.

I read the purest truth of the matter according to Ronaldo and I am just waiting for Jorge Jesus honest reply to place my opinion but from Ronaldo’s letter I do think he was right not to be told the truth. I have always said that the biggest problem the manager and the federation had was calling Cristiano Ronaldo, it should have ended right after the World Cup

Bournemouth is monitoring Fer Lopez, Wolves's midfielder at this moment. So if they is gonna sign him, this means they will let Alex Scott to leaves. I've heard Chelsea and Liverpool are competing for him, but i still have no clue in which team he's gonna moving on.
Last time, i saw him interacted with Chelsea's players on IG. It might be a signal if he goes to Chelsea soon?

It's interesting on what price Bournemouth will sell him, and it most probably it's gonna be closer to the 100m or even more? I think we will see him to play in the new club after the winter transfer window.

So we will see him decide whether he will wearing Liverpool or Chelsea's jersey.

[Ale88]

What’s wrong with aspiring to play for the biggest club in the world? Another question is that, yes, it is difficult to achieve this goal, but Endrik had his chances, it’s strange that you call him laughable. And he’s only 20 years old, he has his whole career ahead of him, I don’t think we should make a tragedy out of his career choices. According to leaks, Roma and Milan are currently battling to sign him, in my view, this is a step up from the level of Lyon. I hope that in the winter he ends up at one of those places and gets playing time again. Roma or Milan would undoubtedly be strengthened if they signed him.

In my opinion he is wasting some of the most important years of his career for no reason. For example I really respect what Nico Paz did, and this year Mastantuono choose to follow the same path: young players must play. Better go somewhere where you're in the line up every single match instead of just warming up the bench of a famous club.
The sooner he leaves on loan, the better for him, because until now we can't really say whether he's just a decent player or a possible future star because... Well, he doesn't play.

It’s easy to talk about which team you should have bet on after the game is already over, isn't it? 
What do you say about Guler? He and Endrick used to sit on the bench together, and I remember how, two years ago, everyone joked that Güler had logged more minutes for the Turkish national team than for Real Madrid. For some reason, nobody is saying now that it was a mistake for Güler to sit on the bench instead of heading off into the depths of Ligue 1 or somewhere else. In my view, both players made the right move, the only difference is that Endrick's bet didn't pay off, while Güler's did.

I wouldn't say the game is over, I prefer to say that that is a movie we've already seen in the past: Endrick joined Real Madrid in 2024, and he barely played. Then 2025, same story, he barely plays and he went to Lyon in January. Now this is the third year, same old story: no summer transfer, he stays and doesn't play. Is it a surprise? Maybe the first time, not the third.

This is the fact. Ronaldo has been enslaved by his desire to reach his 1000 goals because if not, there's no way he will be back to the team for any reason. Jorge Jesus understands this and that's why he treated him the way he did. But then, to me Ronaldo over reacted and drew the media attention over a situation he could have handled maturely from the beginning and avoid all the drama. Now if he comes back to the team, his fans can get disappointed except the manager is ready to tender a public apology to him. If not, then what has he achieved with the arrogance. His willingness to reach the 1000 goals has truly caused him a level of desperation to play.

He's back to Al Nassr to continue his move for his mission. If he is ready to calm down and work with the manager, then he will have a good stay in the team and retire honourably.

I read the message Ronaldo, posted on Fabrizio Romano’s X today. Honestly I saw more bitterness and resentment in his message than genuine regret about leaving the Portugal national team. And of course, he doesn’t say that he is retiring. Instead he says that he wants to keep playing and that he wants to end his career with a farewell match or perhaps several farewell matches. Overall the whole thing doesn’t look particularly good.

I still haven't understood what you have to say about Güler  His bet paid off, so we aren't going to discuss his strategy (which was no different from Endrick's) at all?
It is clear that the game isn't over for Endrick, but one can assume with a high degree of certainty that it is over for him at Real Madrid. Unfortunately, he didn't quite reach the level required at Real (though he might still develop - who knows?), but that shouldn't stop him from finding a spot at other good club. He’s only 20, his best years are still ahead of him. In essence, he is already at a very high level - a Brazil international, he just needs to make some progress, and everything will be fine. You don't necessarily have to be a Real Madrid player to make history.

[kennycryptoitalia]

Even when Arder Guler came to Real Madrid, he was having playing time, compared to what Endrick is facing since he got to Real Madrid. Endrick was the biggest fast rising star in brazil, some even said he his the Delima Ronaldo of this generation but playing have hinder his progress since he moved to Spain. Last season he did so much well at Lyon. Well, we had Jose Morihno convinced the player to stay and he promised him playing time, but so far we can count how many minutes he has played.

If this continues like this then the player will be forced to moved out of Real Madrid, with Espi coming now and always making a difference when on the pitch, I don’t think we will see more of Endrick this season. It still a long season, let see what will happen.

Obviously when Arda Güler arrived he found a Modric, towards the end of his career, at a usually retirement age for a player, and a Toni Kroos who had just left the team, so he found a lot of space again and thanks to his qualities and skills he demonstrated that he deserved a starting place, while Endrick found his positions perpetually occupied by players with very high qualities and considerable experience and technical qualities.

In my view, both players made the right move, the only difference is that Endrick's bet didn't pay off, while Güler's did.

Guler is a player with very high quality in ball control and vision of the game which cannot be missing in a team like Real Madrid especially after the farewell of Modric and Kroos, so he found the place ready and was able to exploit it, for the young Brazilian the space available to him is decidedly limited.

[m4r1o]

I think Endrick is making the right decision. Arda Güler stayed at Real Madrid and fought for playing time, but if he had gone to another club, he could have gained more experience by now. Real Madrid doesn’t provide a suitable environment for young players. What’s more, some players get more chances even when they perform poorly. This calls into question the competition for playing time for everyone. I think Endrick is doing what’s best for his own development. I don’t feel sorry for him; I see him as a fighter who isn’t afraid of new challenges...

Arda Güler is a player who has deserved the starting shirt in Real Madrid, because he is a very young midfielder but with a head on his shoulders, who knows how to play for the team and with a phenomenal foot.

And despite his young age, he has gained the necessary experience and determination that must be given to a true Madrid player.

Perhaps I would agree with you on this, even though I’m not a Ronaldo fan, what the manager is doing right now is completely embarrassing for a player like Ronaldo not even anyone should face that humiliation, someone who left the team. With a level of disrespect and the whole them does not want him or maybe most let don’t want him, how then does the manager want him to come to the team and play or maybe he is going to keep him on suspense like you said that will be more embarrassing.

What are you saying, can’t a player be dropped from a team when you feel a player isn’t performing well, every Ronaldo fans should understand that Ronaldo is no longer the player he was 5 years ago, his slowing down in strength as the year goes by, Ronaldo disrespected the head coach, why did he leave the camp that is a very wrong thing for him to do considering the caliber of player that he is, Ronaldo is at fault here he should apologize to the head coach and his teammates and the Portuguese Football Federation, he shouldn’t be called to the National Team until he makes this apology, if I’m the head coach I will not invite Ronaldo until he makes that apology, however I think Ronaldo should be considering retirement because he isn’t the same player we know before in terms of performance.

[bastisisca]

Endrick would make a perfect start for any club but that's not possible with Madrid because there are better players, but would make one of the best substitutes right now, you could imagine a team where a €140 million player is benched.

Real Madrid gave him the exposure he needed, now he's on the spotlight and teams would definitely be coming for him now, but Madrid still remains a more bigger team that would win him trophies. He would need to make a decision to either stay at Madrid playing as a substitute and winning trophies, and transferring to another club to experience more playing time and maybe never winning a major trophy.

He is certainly an explosive player because despite his young age he is a player who really has a powerful sprint and monstrous leg strength and he demonstrated this both with Real Madrid for the few minutes in which he was allowed to play, and with Lyon who would have loved to buy him out but who did not have the liquidity to do so nor the consent of Real Madrid, the club that owns the player's contract.

[changaa]

Regular start is what a talented player like Endrick needs, though the Real Madrid team is becoming challenging and difficult for him to fit into Mourinho's techniques but I think if he is given the chance to display what he is made off, they won't regret giving him that opportunity.
Since it is this challenging for him, I will support this loan option or even a complete transfer to other teams where his true potential or qualities can be identified because its of know use holding on to a team that do not recognise him in there drawing board.
It will be better to let him go than keep him when the team has know plans for him now.

I believe that such a young player, who came from Palmeiras, or rather from a Brazilian club where he could show his talent, is called and purchased by Real Madrid.
He should only be proud of being able to be coached by strong personalities like Ancelotti, before him, and like Mourinho. So he is right to stay at Real Madrid despite his limited minutes. He is still young and can demonstrate his qualities over time.

[Sammye3]

The force driving Ronaldo is to accomplish his goal. Everything else doesn't matter to him.

Ronaldo's long-time goal of achieving 1000 goals before retirement looks like it might take him this season to accomplish that because next season might be his retirement year according to recent speculations and he would want to end his football career heroically without a doubt.

His saga with the Portugal team is really heartbreaking and a disrespect to his name, he deserves better from the coach and his teammates.

[Sim_card]

Arda Güler is a player who has deserved the starting shirt in Real Madrid, because he is a very young midfielder but with a head on his shoulders, who knows how to play for the team and with a phenomenal foot.

And despite his young age, he has gained the necessary experience and determination that must be given to a true Madrid player.

His performance this season has been superb so far. Arda Guler is the future of Real Madrid because even at his young age, he plays better than a lot of players playing his position. Mourinho might not have confidence in Endrick and that's why, he hasn't used him because there are experienced, quality and matured players playing the same position. Guler is a good ball distributor, a goal assistant and a scorer.

[verdinio]

Kylian Mbappe is not the limiting factor for Endrick at Real Madrid and this is because when Mbappe is being substituted or not being used Endrick is still not the next option and this can be disappointing being far in the picking order even after you have been told to stay.

Endrick staying was obvious he didn't exodus to bench Mbappe but rather get more game which is far lacking now, Real Madrid added more attack and then shifted Endrick chances even after Gonzalo left the team. What looks like the best option for him now is to leave also.

That is not the limiting factor because Endrick is not a first striker like Mbappé is and above all he does not have the same experience. Consequently, Mbappé is a player who has demonstrated multiple times and in multiple championships that he is a player with unmatched qualities.

While Endrick still has a lot to prove, for now he remains a talented young man who still lacks experience.
