UEFA Champions League 2026/27 Season

[snipie]

Real Madrid would probably like to buy Olise (as most clubs in the world), but Real is renovating its stadium and is strapped for cash. And to convince Olise, they'd have to put a lot of money on the table, which is impossible at this point. So let's put Olise potential transfer from Bayern to Real Madrid as a rumor. Nothing more.

I read from several sources that Real Madrid stance from Olise changed a bit since Bayern Munich isn't willing to let him go, at least easily, and that the rumoured money is quite high even for a rich team like them.
Some rumours surfed recently because Olise will change home but the real reason behind that move is because Jerome Boateng was lending the home and now want to sell it, so Olise has to move out of the home. That's the whole story.

Real Madrid is a financially sound team, but managing their finances effectively is what they do best. If Michael Olise is going to consume a large portion of their financial resources, they won't make the transfer now. They waited several years for Mbappé, and eventually convinced him to join Paris Saint-Germain without paying a fee. Olise is 24 years old and has a bright future. Real Madrid currently has many players in his position. It doesn't seem like an urgent transfer. Therefore, I think they might postpone this transfer this year.

Yes, it could be said that Madrid strategy for bringing in expensive players is quite ingenious. They will only make one or two offers when a team is unwilling to let a player go. Madrid has its own strategy making an intense approach to players. This is what happened with Mbappe at PSG ultimately allowing Madrid to bring him in for free.

This strategy is unique to Madrid because they are a big club, so every player has a strong desire to join Madrid. In fact it could be said that almost every footballer dreams of playing for Madrid. In Olise case while Muchen is currently holding onto the player, it's not impossible that Muchen will eventually have to let Olise go for free. Moreover, Perez has also stated that as long as no star players leave no new players will come in. This means that so far no star players have left Madrid especially in Olise position. So it could be said that Perez isn't really pushing too hard to bring Olise in.

On the other hand we can also understand why Bayern Munich would find it difficult to let Olise go. He's a key player in the squad and they have a big target of winning the Champions League trophy next season. Losing Olise would certainly diminish Bayern strength especially in attack.

You are right. Real Madrid can wait till his contract expires or for another season because his presence isn't needed urgently in the club. They needed him to add to the team in order to close any loop holes that will pop up next season. Since, they're renovating their stadium, it wouldn't be possible any more couple with the high price tag on Olise.

Let's take a look at the contenders' chances before the start of the season. With all due respect, Napoli, Roma, and the others below them have no chance.
What strikes me personally is that City is considered on par with Bayern and Real. It's ridiculous. Bayern already looks perfect, while Real regularly humiliates City, even when they're in crisis.
The chances of Inter, Atlético, and Dortmund seem underestimated. We've already seen Inter and Dortmund reach the final, so why can't it happen again? These teams could win the tournament with a lucky draw.

One of these teams will surely win the champions league its just a question who will win it. I doubt that psg can win it the third year in a row even if they are the favorites. Currently watching all the teams i dont have a single clue who can win the champions league. For me that is really intresting,i would like to see Bayern Munich in the final because they are always close to reaching it. I think it will be really close and honestly this season i dont know who can reach the final or win it

And to convince Olise, they'd have to put a lot of money on the table, which is impossible at this point. So let's put Olise potential transfer from Bayern to Real Madrid as a rumor. Nothing more.

From what I have read about this transfer,  I think Real Madrid are really interested in Micheal Olise and money has never been an issue.  The only problem they are having is that Bayern Munich are not ready to sell and are insisting that he is not for sale. I have even read some sports articles that claims that Real Madrid will push for the deal if they have just 1% chance that the player is willing to make the move. I believe that just explains how important the signing of Micheal Olise is too Real Madrid. I also think he is going to be a very good addition to Real Madrid squad and I also believe that Real Madrid are still in for the player, but they have not gotten the green light to make a move. I think we should just watch and see how this turns out.

Real Madrid is actually interested in Olise and they will sign him if they get the green light from Bayern Munich. If Real Madrid renovate santiago bernabue and run out of money to bid for Olise, they can borrow money to buy him, so the renovation of santiago bernabue cannot stop them not to sign Olise. From the information i red, Real Madrid said they want to maintain their good relationship with Bayern Munich and if Bayern Munich does not want to sell Olise they will not bid for Olise. If we follow Real Madrid statement, Olise will still play for Bayer Munich this season.

[Distraction]

The odds given for the probable champion of next season's CL are quite fair to me. PSG will of course be given the highest chance. We are talking about the winner of the last 2 years! 

Arsenal and Bayern Munich follow them which is quite natural. I think their being given the same chance is also understandable. Bayern Munich got eliminated in the semi finals maybe but it was against the champion...

I see the chances of one of the teams winning the title at 7.5 and 8 odds.
It is a bit excessive to dream of PSG winning the title in the upcoming season, because winning the Champions League title for three consecutive seasons is almost impossible. We know that PSG has a strong team and they are the defending champions. But we must not forget that the competitors have also become stronger in the upcoming season. In particular, Real Madrid and Barcelona have made several changes to their teams to win the Champions League and have become sensitive to their weak points.

It is not possible to say anything about Real Madrid right now, as a team they were strong before. But their main problem was the discipline of the team, we will have to wait at least until the middle of the season to see whether that discipline will return in the upcoming season. If Mourinho succeeds in restoring discipline to the team, then Real Madrid will have a high chance of winning the title in the upcoming season. Arsenal and Bayern Munich will be one of the strongest teams in the Champions League, just like last season. My prediction for the Champions League final is Real Madrid/Barcelona vs Arsenal/Bayern Munich.

Inter - 31.00

What's more shocking is the fact that Milan are given an odd of 31.00 as their chance of winning the UCL whereas Man UTD who are still questionable in their performance have an odd of 17.00. Well let's just see it as mere statistical analysis and nort the real thing because teams no one expected to win might end up lifting it. That's the crazy thing about football though.

From my view or my own end I don't think Paris Saint Germain is fit or will be able to win the champions league again even though their form may still be the same which I'm not sure if that is true though they are among the favorite but the chances of them winning it again won't be that high because these teams below or under them won't let that happen again and if there is no team to stop them I think Arsenal will this time around,  perhaps their performance when season starts will give us a thought about this.

[Shineup]

Mourinho is a very intelligent coach and also good at what he does. Even though his style might not be entirely easy he still knows how to handle his players and demand the best from them. Most important I admire the way he handles his dressing room, somehow he knows how to unite the players. I think right now Real Madrid really need a coach like Mourinho, a coach that can settle the difference among the players to make them work together again after they had a lot of issues working as a team.

They have a strong defense already so right now what they need is to improve their midfield. I'm impressed hearing they are interested in Rodri. Rodri also seem to interested so it will be a good deal for both parties. With all this things I believe Mourinho will have an impact at the team.

Rodri would be truly perfect for Real Madrid's midfield because he is truly a player with strong qualities, he has an excellent dribble in the middle of the pitch, clear vision of the game and verticalisation, excellent shot from distance, if placed close to 2 players like Bellingham and Valverde he can perform even better.

I think similarly. Rodri could be a player to strengthen the midfield. Real Madrid is already lagging behind in midfield performance. Rodri would be an excellent option for Real Madrid to find a player who can improve their midfield. A midfielder who has won the Ballon d'Or alongside many world-class stars would be an ideal choice.

My concern now is if Real Madrid truly bring all their targets to the team don't you guys think that will be the biggest cheat in football? Hahaha, for instance they've gotten Cucurella already one of the best Left back in the world right now if not the best, then we hear of Olise one with a magical moves, then now Rodri the best midfielder in the world currently, like if Real Madrid actually get this deals done, who can actually stand them, just imagine a front line of Vinicius junior, Kylian Mbappe, and Olise, then midfield of Valverde, Rodri, and Bellingham, mehn that's a cheat for me.

I was also surprised about this inter Milan odd of 31.00 chance of winning the champions league, even though they usually do well in their domestic league, I don’t think they even had a chance to do anything tangible this coming season. But anything is possible in football, most expecially the champions league is always different. But the odd of Manchester United is okey to me, because I believe they will be changes in their performance this season. I can’t say more, let’s just wait and see how the season will turn out.

Signing a player is not a cheating and besides are they signing any of the players for free?, at least when a club wants to spend millions of dollars for players it should also worth it for them and meanwhile several other clubs also have the same players as good as those guys. So actually even with all those players Real Madrid will not yet be the most promising for the champions League until it has become were is an undoubtdabe. Although I Will be very happy and anticipating how those players in combination with the ones real Madrid has will be performing on there league.

[MAAManda]

What strikes me personally is that City is considered on par with Bayern and Real. It's ridiculous. Bayern already looks perfect, while Real regularly humiliates City, even when they're in crisis.

It also states there that Barcelona has the same chances as Manchester City, I agree with you that in reality Manchester City's level of play isn't yet on par with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid & Barcelona. They should have the same or better odds than Liverpool. For example, @10,00.

The chances of Inter, Atlético, and Dortmund seem underestimated. We've already seen Inter and Dortmund reach the final, so why can't it happen again? These teams could win the tournament with a lucky draw.

BTW, my team (Atletico Madrid) also made it to the final, they’re actually strong enough not to be underestimated this season.

You seem very optimistic about the club that has won the last two seasons. It's perfectly natural that PSG is still the mathematical favorite, as their quality hasn't declined so far. Bayern Munich would have been eliminated in the semifinals if it weren't for the referee's dramatic performance, perhaps the opposite would have happened.

I share the same view. For some reason, I doubt PSG ability to win the Champions League trophy again next season, not because their performance has declined, but because many other teams, judging by the changes they've made so far, are very good, and perhaps even stronger than last season. Furthermore, I feel every team has adapted very well to the new Champions League format. We must admit that PSG could win the Champions League twice in a row during the updated format.

With this new format it's crucial to have adequate squad depth, and each team must maintain strong concentration. PSG has won the Champions League trophy in two seasons because they have a relatively easy league, which is very different from other teams with very competitive leagues. PSG excelled in this regard last season because they focused solely on the Champions League competition, lacking strong opposition in their domestic league. But next season, I see Munich, Arsenal, Real Madrid, and Barcelona bringing in several new players during this transfer window. This will not only strengthen their squads but will also make it easier for coaches to rotate players to maintain fitness. Because in the fight for the UCL trophy after this new format, the most obvious obstacle is the increasingly congested schedule. Therefore, the key to winning the UCL trophy is having an even squad depth between core players and substitutes.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Olise's chances of leaving Bayern Munich are very low. He had a very good season at Bayern Munich and will want to deliver a similar performance next year. The French star might want to go to Real Madrid, but I don't think Real Madrid will make the financial expenditures necessary to acquire him this year. Right now, Real Madrid's priority is to acquire good players for their weak areas. They are already a very strong attacking team. Therefore, Olise can wait a few more seasons.

Yes, there's been a lot of speculation about Olise, some have said that Mbappé convinced him to come to Madrid, I don't know, but if I had to choose between Olise and Rodri, I'd choose Olise a thousand times over. The midfield is so-so, and I hope Bruno contributes more than he did at City, because Tchouameni alone isn't enough. He's more focused on defending than distributing the ball, and besides, I don't see him doing anything good for the national team at the World Cup.

Odds don't really tell the full story. This because the way Manchester city, Real Madrid and Bayern are being rated on same levels it feels a bit off because of their last performance, norms football is unpredictable. Atletico don't really need to be top for the whole season but all they do need to do is to keep up with a good consistency and do well to avoid injuries. Champions League is full of surprise and draw will determine who will reach the final
