⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Sterbens]

It must be very difficult for him to decide whether to stay or leave. But on the other hand this is an opportunity for him to join another big team. But the problem is whether he will continue his performance with the new team or vice versa. Because it is not uncommon for players who are good when playing in the old team, but fail when moving due to several factors, one of which is adaptation. He had to consider carefully before deciding.

The discussion about Osimhen is now getting hotter, lots of big clubs want to ask for her hand, one of which is Manchester United. And now a statement has been circulated that Osimhen has confirmed that so far he will stay at Napoli. Yes, it's true, in fact, he could have gone to join another club, but apart from all that, on the other hand, he had a lot to prepare for, the adaptation factor might be the thing that made the striker reluctant to leave, because it was difficult to adapt to a new team new game.

Yes, it will be a tough decision for Osimhen because he himself at Napoli for this season has achieved good enough that it would be a shame if he had to leave Napoli and had to adapt again to the new team that would sign a contract with him.
What you say seems to have a point because Napoli will definitely never accept the departure of Osimhen easily because he is one of the talented players who is quite good.
Maybe there will be another offer to be able to extend Osimhen at Napoli for at least one or two seasons.

It is reported Real Madrid is in the midst of making an approach with him hoping to sign him, as they are in need of a striker to replace Benzema. But it seems that the plans of all the clubs that want to ask for her hand will fail because the Napoli management has emphasized several times that they have absolutely no intention of selling Osimhen to any club and that the transaction will never happen. And finally, it is reported that Napoli is ready to award a new contract for Osimhen after the promising performances from the Nigerian striker.

The decision for Osimhen to either remain at Napoli or accept a move will be a tough one for the player to make seeing how much he has achieved this season with his current club Napoli and how much the fans love and worship, if I were him I will continue with Napoli for one or two more seasons before considering to leave but we are different and in the summer we will find out what his decision will be but I am sure Napoli will do there best to retain him.

Osimhen's future actually depend on napoli. Napoli didn't wanna let him go out from the club easily. that's why a very big release clause being used to give a big wall for any team that is willing to sign him.
This is a common thing when there was a club that using the situation to take the advantage. Since osimhen performed really well during serie a and there will be many clubs interested to give napoli very big offer to sign him.
that's it. It's the main reason why osimhen will not able to leave from there easily.

I think we need to wait other Napoli's player, if there's a good player from Napoli join an other team, then a possibility Osimhen will leave Napoli become high too.

There are many rumors if both of Min-Jae Kim and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia leave Napoli, if Napoli want to prove themselves become a good team in the next season, it's not make sense if they let Min-Jae Kim to leave, but keep Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen isn't?

So they need to choose, either they back to a mediocre team or try again in the next season with their star players.

Late this season, Lionel Messi has been rumored to leave PSG before the end of the season. When the news of Lionel Messi's absence from the club came out, various clubs are showing interest in taking Messi for a huge amount of money, including some Saudi clubs who want to get Messi to their club even if they exchange a lot of money. But so far no decision has been made as to what will be Messi's next club.  Meanwhile, Barcelona is showing a lot of interest in taking Messi. As their club is facing financial problems, they are unable to give any guarantee regarding Messi's salary but they believe that Messi will return to their club again. And if Messi returns to their club again, then Messi will be given the captaincy again, the Barcelona authorities said. Now it remains to be seen which club Lionel Messi will end up signing with.

Some news we see is really funny and I just laugh. We all know Victor Osimhen is the gem in the market and many teams are seeming to find a way and hire this player for the next season because of his good performance in Napoli and because of his age, he can be also a good investment for any team and comparing to Kane who is older, Osimhen got a much better situation. But Ferdinand said hiring Kane can be better than hiring Osimhen for the next season.

it was also rumored that Messi could return to Barcelona with a number of considerations even though he didn't mind the salary, but Messi asked for several Argentine players who also had to be brought to Barcelona. what is clear is that Barcelona has also been prepared by releasing several of their players in the transfer market. whether Messi will reach an agreement to return or not. but Barcelona seems to be intent on bringing him back.
regarding the offer from the Saudi Arabian club, of course, they are ready to spend large amounts of money. they thought it was a great business to sign a European star. and it will benefit the Saudi League.

That is how England people promotes their own even when it is clear that there is a better option.
I am not saying that Kane is not a good striker, he has been a consistent striker since more than 5 seasons now and he is among the world renowned strikers.
But considering his age and the work rate of Victor Osimhen, I think for a long term plan the Nigerian Napoli striker is a better investment to Manchester United than Harry Kane

Will adopt with new position or Mount put as holding midfielder in Manchester United? Mount is good midfielder but less appearance in this season he can't show the best perform with Chelsea.

I'm not sure about that honestly, it's a tough question to answer. I assumed it like Manchester United wanted to put him at the centre of the midfield in their lineup. However there is another important information about him like he is a quite versatile player at the same time. In addition to his natural position (AM), he can play as central midfielder and left winger(or sometimes left midfielder) also.

This must be very valuable for Manchester United as they can try him in multiple positions and then decide upon one area to put him there mostly. He might need to take his time for a while to adapt to a new team maybe I don't know. But Manchester United would be lucky about that as he will have enough time before the season starts officially to adapt.

Besides I wonder what his decision would be if Manchester United and Liverpool make an offer at the same time. I think he would choose Manchester United due to the Champions League factor.

I understand that Lionel Messi is a living legend for Barcelona, but should he really come back? I don't think now is the time to talk about whether he is a legend or not which is the reason why they want Messi back. But there is something more important than that, their journey is still very long, with a large nominal to bring back Messi, it would be better for them to build a stronger foundation with the money they will use to bring Messi. If they sign Messi he won't be around for long and maybe it will be two or three seasons. But when they bring in younger players, it can be an investment for them in the long term.

Yes that is the logical thinking that a club should do but it seems like Barcelona doesn't cares about that and still want to go for Messi. They value him so much that they are making room for him right now to make him play for Barca again for as long as he can. I sometimes feel that maybe there is other reason for bringing him back as well as bringing him back will for certain boost up their revenues which Barca desperately needs right now. I wonder if bringing Messi will solve their financial situation later on if that's the case.

That's true ... his time is almost over ... his producticity far more than it used to be , can't help much the current barcelona but weighting the salary budget which it's irrational financially , barcelona should never let messi go at the first place but yeah things really complicated back in the tough times post-covid.

Xavi might look for someone else despite messi is his teammates back in the day , someone worth the money for the long term.

Barcelona seems to be pushing too hard, it's obvious that it's impossible to happen and even if Messi returns to Barcelona it will only be a "tool" for management to make a profit through it. If we look at Real Madrid's competitors, they have completely forgotten about Ronaldo and do not have the slightest hope that he will return to the Los Blancos squad.

With so many things they can do, such as regenerating some of their young players or even making long-term investments by bringing in some talented young players. It looks like Barcelona should emulate what Real Madrid has done in the last few seasons instead of having to rely on legends like Messi who are so comfortable closing their careers at an aging age.

After all, even if he is a Legend, so what? Is it true that Barcelona plans to bring back expensive players and wants to retire there with a fairly high fee.
Indeed, in this case Messi's presence is also likely to have an impact on their sponsorship but it will be the same as the previous few seasons considering his high salary and even the results of sponsorship are only able to cover that. They may have other views but it's really a shame if something like that still needs to be done.

I just hope Neymar's story doesn't end like that of Coutinho falling from Grace to Grass. Neymar is still a vibrant player, if not for injuries his PSG spell would be better than it has been but nevertheless, I still believe Neymar would be a good signing for United and will improve their game immensely if he joins this summer.

So they need to choose, either they back to a mediocre team or try again in the next season with their star players.

It's all about money. Napoli has built this team by making money, they usually spend 20 million or less on players to build a club, and pay 5 million or less for salaries as well, that's the system they built. This works and they have won a title now, it is not easy and sometimes they make mistakes, sometimes they buy a player and that player turns out to be terrible, and that is why it doesn't mean it will work every single time. But sometimes it does work like this and they became champions.

I guess that any player who worths 40 million or more is on sale, it means that they could buy 2 players within their system for selling just one, Osimhen could go for 50-60 million, if that happens Napoli is not rejecting it, they would be fools to do that.

To be honest, I'm not sure. but since after Messi's contract ends with PSG, he will become a free transfer player. and what is the problem is how the issue of salary, but rumors Messi is willing to reduce his salary. IMO, Messi is still selling for Barcelona from a business perspective, correct me if I'm wrong. that is why, Laporta remains adamant in wanting to bring Messi back to Camp Nou.  most likely, he will become a winger if he finally joins Barcelona. because, apparently, the system that Xavi applied did not use a playmaker.

If I were Laporta, I would prefer to bring in Bernaldo Silva and a few other midfielders. it could also be, Gundohan as a replacement for Busquets' position. several other players, will be on the sales list, especially those whose performance this season was very bad. But whatever it is, we'll see how it goes. because of rumors, Messi will make a decision after his contract ends with PSG.

You're wrong
Ferdinand is a Man United legend he knows what's best for the club, Harry Kane has a good understanding of the Premier League and will easily adapt to the Man United team but Oshime will take time even if he is good and a younger player to kane
Man United can sign Harry Kane but they should have plans to get another he will be 30 soon which means he will drop form when he gets pass this age, harry Kane is top option for the list of strikers united shortlisted

PSG wants to hire Lucas Hernandez for the next season and this can be another expensive transfer for PSG while they need to hire a better coach and start hiring players after that according to what the coach needs for the next season.
However, since currently PSG doesn't have good defenders, I think they need defenders like Hernandez.

Lucas Hernandez to PSG is a good move towards improvement of the squad but Bayern Munich are bent on retaining the player and are working on extending his contract which is said to be until 2027. Bayern Munich are confident they will get him to extend so the next weeks will tell the outcome of this deal.

If Lionel Messi wanted to stay at PSG, he would have extended his contract by now. I think he will definitely leave the team at the end of the season. I'm not sure if Barcelona can afford Messi's salary, but everyone wants to see him in Barcelona. If he returns to Barcelona and plays football there for a few years and makes his jubilee at Barcelona, he'll have built an epic career. I think he's someone who makes enough money from football. He should not make wrong choices when he has the opportunity to build a legendary career. He may even have the opportunity to play for many more years at Barcelona if he understands that he is getting old and sometimes has to come into the game later.

I get how English players are overrated and overpriced but I'll take Kane over Osimhen. Osimhen is good and young, but age is all he got on Harry Kane, nothing else. Kane is 29 now I think, meaning he still got like 4 years of top football to offer any club he goes to. If you use the age and sign Osimhen instead, what kind of contract will you give him? Let's assume it's a long-term contract of six years, how do you know he would be there for the whole contract period?
How do you even know he would be on top form for the long term? But in the case of Harry Kane, you know what he can do. He's just better, He can play, he can score, he can assist and he's a leader. Harry Kane would be the perfect fit for Manchester United.
