Will Rudiger stay at Chelsea?

Antonio Rudiger is yet to sign a new contract with Chelsea and he will soon be a free agent so other clubs will be looking to make a move for him considering he is one of the best defenders in the premier league and not to mention the world. Just like football fans placing bets many gamblers are using UK casinos not on gamstop with a key list of examples here that they are visiting during the transfer windows to keep themselves occupied and entertained whilst watching to see if their clubs sign anyone.

Transfer windows

During the transfer windows, clubs can sign new players and sell players that are no longer up to the ask at their current clubs. When a free agent comes around like Rudiger is set to be, other clubs are free to approach the player and his agent to offer a contract and terms in the hope to sign the player without having to pay a fee for him due to Rudiger set to be a free agent.

Chelsea is trying to resolve the contract standoff by offering Rudiger a larger pay packet, but this has not yet been agreed upon. Chelsea has already started to look at replacements for the defender with Sevilla centre back Jules Kounde being linked with the club and Wolves defender Max Kilman. The hope around the Chelsea camp is that Rudiger will sign a new contract with them due to the club wanting him to stay and the player has also said that he and his family feel at home at Chelsea and in London.

Where could Rudiger move to?

Rudiger has been having a fantastic season and has turned into a great defender under new manager Thomas Tuchel. Due to Rudiger’s fantastic form, he has attracted scouts from different clubs that have taken an interest in signing the player on a free transfer. The clubs being linked with a free move for the player are Manchester United, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. These clubs are some of the best clubs in the world so Rudiger may fancy a move to a different team if he and Chelsea cannot agree on his new wages.

Rudiger has asked for a pay increase to make him Chelsea’s highest-paid player whom the player and his agent feel that he deserves after having such a good season so far. Only time will tell if the club and the player can agree in time before he is free to speak to other clubs.

You should now have a clearer understanding of Rudiger’s future and what he is demanding from the club.

The Anticipation for the 2022/2023 Transfer Window – What Should we Expect?

It’s only a matter of time before the next transfer window opens, and football fans and teams all around the world are anticipating the arrival of some of the finest players in the world.

A slew of A-list players, including Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, have just changed teams during the most recent transfer window. Even before the upcoming transfer window opens, there are already plenty of rumours swirling around the football world about which players and managers may be on the move.

It is certain that many football fans will place wagers on players moving to various teams, and bookmakers are happy to oblige by providing a wide range of transfer bets and manager specials for those interested in doing so. Many football fans like placing football transfer bets since the chances on players switching teams are so good.

The forthcoming transfer window will almost certainly be vital for teams looking to end the season on a high note. When fans were let back into football stadiums, the morale of the teams was improved, which was beneficial to everyone.

Following the return of live television coverage of their teams, transfer windows have witnessed an uptick in activity as fans scream the praises of players they want to sign or boo the names of opponents who want to see their clubs deal for individuals they dislike. A chaotic transfer window occurred last year, with some of the world’s best players switching to other teams at the same time, and many football fans were not expecting these moves to occur.

In the transfer window, PSG was able to sign five of the world’s best players on a free transfer since their contracts with their former clubs had expired. The transfer window surprised the football world because so many high-profile players were transferring to one club at the same time.

Next season there is a lot of free agents, and these players include Kylian Mbappe, Paul Pogba, Paulo Dybala, Ousmane Dembele, Lorenzo Insigne and that’s just naming a few, it will be interesting to see which club these players sign for.

How would the Alexis Sanchez transfer improve Manchester City?

Having spent some time away on holiday after his Confederations Cup exploits with Chile, Alexis Sanchez has had a whirlwind of transfer rumours swirling around him. Arsenal broke their transfer record to sign a top striker in Alexandre Lacazette and improved their defence with Sead Kolasinac, but their star forward looks to be on his way to Manchester City.

Given the strength of their team, their big-money signings, and the fact that they’re already leading the list as favourites to win the Premier League in 2017/18, why would the Citizens need to splash out on another forward?

A stacked team already

Manchester City already boast the likes of Kevin de Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, David Siva, Sergio Aguero, Leroy Sane, Nolito, Gabriel Jesus, Samir Nasri, Wilfried Bony, Kelechi Iheanacho, new addition Bernardo Silva, and young hot-shot Patrick Roberts. While some of these will be sold or loaned out, the City attack will still be star-studded enough to give Alexis Sanchez a great amount of competition in attacking midfield, on the left wing, and up front.

To add to this, Pep Guardiola failed to get the best out of Alexis Sanchez during the duo’s time in Barcelona, a fact that the City boss has admitted himself. However, the Chilean is still sitting as a favourable selection for a free bet at 10/11 to move to City. This can be greatly credited to the work of Arsene Wenger, who unlocked Sanchez’s raw potential as a top scoring, diverse option in attack, giving him the freedom needed to excel – Guardiola would do well to deploy him in a similar role, should the transfer come to fruition.

What about Aguero?

Sergio Aguero has been a hero in the sky blue since he arrived, but last season was a rocky one for the six-year City star. Despite problems that Guardiola had with his playing style, favouring others ahead of Aguero for spells, the Argentine still put up 33 goals over the season.

There were many rumours that Aguero would be on his way out but luckily for City and Premier League fans, the manager has stated that he wants both Aguero and Sanchez in his team for the upcoming campaign. Sanchez’s versatility would perfectly complement City’s fluid attack-force, especially as young striker Kelechi Iheanacho looks set for a move to either Tottenham Hotspur or Leicester City.

Bringing in the crafty Chilean attacker will create almost unfathomable depth in City’s attacking corps – likely the best set in the league – and give them a great shot at success both domestically and in Europe.

Mancini on Balotelli

On question if the club plan to sell Mario at the end of the season, Roberto said: “Probably but I don’t know, it depends because Balotelli is a fantastic player. We want 11 players but with Mario on the pitch every time we play we risk him being sent off. We have six games and he will not play in the next six games.”

“I love him like a guy, I love him like a player, I know him, he’s not a bad guy, he’s a fantastic player but in this moment I am very sorry for him because he continues to lose his talent and his quality.”

“I hope he understands that he is in a bad way for his future and he can change. If Mario continues like this I probably agree but I hope always that he can change his behaviour.”

“Mario is young, he is 22 and I understand that when you are young you can make some mistakes. There are a lot of people who make mistakes. I hope for him, not for me, that he can change.”

“It’s clear he created a big problem but he has scored a lot of important goals. Mario is Mario when he does a mistake because he is young and doesn’t understand but it’s also Mario when he scores two goals when we won 6-1 (against Manchester UTD). It’s Mario when he scores a penalty in the last second against Tottenham.”

Roberto Mancini about his future

Roberto Mancini is under pressure, as he was expected to win Premiership this season. This is what he said about this:

“My relationship with Khaldoon is fantastic. If he sacked me at the end of the season or next year, I would say that every manager who works with Khaldoon is very lucky. He is a really good man. This doesn’t change my opinion about him or the club.”

“But I don’t have this problem because I will continue in my job. I’m sure that this club has arrived at the top. With two or three more players after this year, this club will start to win, and when it starts to win it will win two or three titles every year. Now it has arrived.”

“I’ve been in this world for a long time and I know you can lose this job. But it’s important to me that the squad have improved a lot over the last two years. We are progressing. I don’t decide this. I do the best for my job and after I don’t decide this situation.”

“I have a one-year contract. I started this job two and a half years ago and since that moment we have improved a lot as a team, players and a club. This is important when you have a new team.”

“But I know football very well and I left Internazionale after seven trophies with a four-year contract to the end.”

“In football anything can happen in any moment. This championship can change in one week. The same regarding my future. When you choose this job you know that anything can happen in any moment.”

“I don’t have a problem with that because when you work hard for your job and improve your team, that’s important.”

“We should think that we can still win the title. There are seven games to the end with one derby to play at home. I think we can win this title. It’s important that we get the maximum points we can. Last year we got 71 points and now we’ve got 71 with seven games left.”
