⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[masulum]

Usually Arab clubs will never disappoint in terms of salary because it will always be high but we don't know how big Al-Nassr's salary offer is to David De Gea maybe this is still in the negotiation stage or still under consideration by David De Gea if there are no other offers from european club.
It will never stop until now the Arab league clubs will still continue to buy their players which they think are easy to recruit and it is certain that several other Arab club teams are still eyeing other players including Sergio Ramos who is being targeted by Arab clubs but Ramos has not yet decided about his new club.

Exactly, maybe Arab clubs have better finances, as we know, there are quite a lot of millionaires there, who might also become club sponsors. However, it is not only financial matters that are of concern, but government and club support to bring in world players in addition to making the Arab league attractive, also to bring in tourists must be appreciate. This is appreciation for the Arab government and its football federation. I think Ramos is not interested in the Arab league, maybe if there are no more clubs to sign him, Ramos will make Arab an alternative.

And the next player goes to Saudi Arabia. It is Jota, who played for Celtic Glasgow in Scotland. He is now moving to Al-Ittihad Club for about 30 million euros. He is Portuguese and has already played for the nationalteam and now he will play together with N´Golo Kante and Karim Benzema. In the offense with Benzema even directly, so that will be for him a completely new and great experience.

Indeed, in terms of experience, of course it would be very good for this young player to be on the same stage as Kante and also Benzema, but if you look at his young age, maybe this is too much of a decision that could make his career unable to shine again in Europe later. We know that Jota is coming, of course, because of the very large salary from Al-Ittihad and it is no longer a secret for the Saudi league to be able to hook European players. Maybe we will see the Saudi league worth considering starting next season because so many European players are coming and also making the league even more popular. But I hope it doesn't last long.

+Gerard went to work as Al-Ittifaq's head coach + Brozovic went to play with Ronaldo and will now receive 30 million a year (in Europe he would not have received that kind of money anywhere). By the way, he is at a quite good age - 30 years old, and it seems that this is already the stage when even "acting" football players in their prime leave for Saudi Arabia.
It seems to me that the next season in Saudi Arabia will be top of interest.

Steven Gerrard was appointed coach of the Saudi Arabian club Ettifaq FC, what's interesting is that he was given a pretty tempting offer, even though the nominal salary was not stated, but I believe that as an Arab club that wants to compete with top-tier clubs the salary offered will be quite high considering their record. Gerrard's footsteps in European history. Like Al Nass and Al Hillal, of course Gerrard is required to be able to bring his team to the top of the standings because last season Ettifaq FC was only able to finish in 7th place. According to MEMO, Gerrard position is still in the final discussion stage. If he accepts the offer, I think Ettifaq FC can still finish in the top 5.

I think Ramos is not interested in the Arab league, maybe if there are no more clubs to sign him, Ramos will make Arab an alternative.

Sergio Ramos really has to consider the offer of the Saudi Arabian Club, given his age and career in Europe, of course he cannot defend this and forces him to be in a competition where young players take more playing time. Ramos could end up with money and wages no doubt if the bids come from an Arab club. At least maybe if Ramos says he is interested in moving to Arab then Al Nassr will be the leading club in this purchase.

AC Milan is like downgrade their squad for letting their good players to leave. They already lost Ibrahimovic, Giroud will retire soon, they only have Hernandez, Leao, Tomori and Calabria, the other are just to complete the squad.

Arsenal sign Declan Rice for 105 Million Euros, while the cost of Newcastle to sign Tonali is only half of it, I think both of them are good players, but Rice is overpriced and overestimate.

Well, football clubs need to survive and thats just what AC Milan are trying to do; if you can't get funds from the clubs revenue etc; you get funds from the clubsides pool of talent; With Tonali, AC Milan has made tremendous profits and can reshape their squad if they spend wisely; Getting Lukaku on loan is part of AC Milan rebuild process too.

And yes, Rice is a very quality midfielder; good fee too (thanks to West Ham owner quality negotiation skills).

AC Milan got a very nice offer by Newcastle for Tonali this is not about downgrading the squad because of the  departure of some of their aging players, there are other young talented players from across the various clubs in Seria A where quality players can be signed with lesser sign on fee to replace Tonali beside AC Milan still have some promising young players like Leao, Tomori and  newly signed Ruben Loftus-Cheek etc Meanwhile Lukaku had earlier stated that he is not interested in joining his rival club AC Milan thus this news put to rest all the speculations surrounding his likely move has been put to rest.

Millionaires and maybe they have more better finances I think that is a massive understatement to say the least. If they were only millionaires, they couldn't have offered a billion to Messi for two years. They are drowning in cash and are now willing to conquer the entire sports industry. It is not only soccer, but also a lot of other sports. Ramos wants to give it a try for another year although I don't know whether he is also considering the MLS? Or has anything been signed yet? The Saudi clubs have full support from the government. That is where the money comes from for the richest club in that league.

Steven Gerrard will now join Nuno Espirito Santo and Jorge Jesus in the bubbling Saudi Professional League. This set of coaches will bring the European experience to the league and we might start seeing the impact from this season. Gerrard is a football legend with a whole lot of experience that will benefit the players of Ettifaq FC. But his last coaching job in the English Premier League with Aston Villa didn't end well because he was sacked due to poor performance.

For them to compete with top teams like Al Nassr and Al-Ittihad, Gerrard has to come up with sound coaching strategies and ensure he maximizes the players at his disposal. His influence and good relationship with his former players might lead to the signing of some players from the English or the Scottish league because he needs to rebuild the team. He might be able to replicate his performance in Rangers.

"Chelsea are planning to hold talks with Napoli over Victor Osimhen.
According to Football.London, the Londoners are thinking of offering at least 100 million pounds for the forward"
https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/victor-osimhen-chelsea-transfer-contract-26833032

This is very interesting news. Chelsea continues to excite the transfer market like last season.
But this time the transfers seem to be more thoughtful. Victor Osimhen is a great player and although £100 million is a huge amount, but Victor Osimhen at least can work them off, in contrast to, for example, Mudrik. Victor Osimhen is in the prime of his career, a great striker, unstoppable for defenders, with a great eye for goal.  
 

To be honest, this news frightens me because Chelsea already have made very good signings that suggests they might be a very dangerous team next season. As a rival, I don’t like the idea of adding Victor Osimhen to the line up of already good players they will be too dangerous to compete against them and it will not be good for the rest of the EPL heavyweights.

The reason they're treating De Gea this way is because he has no pride, they have seen him for whom he is, they know he is welling to play for the club no matter what. If he has that spirit of forcing his way out from the club by now they won't waste time to double his salary from the beginning even if he'll be the second choice. Like who won't want a goalie like De Gea to be on his team? That's the thing with Manchester United and if you check no club is even coming for those players they're ready to sell, see how bad it is for UTD, they can't get any business done as it is.

De Gea has obviously lost respect in this Manchester United side, I remember the times when De Gea was a hero at the club. I think you are right, the fact that he is willing to continue at Manchester United is giving the club a leverage they are using in their advantage. Truly, if he was showing reluctance to extend his contract with the club maybe they would be talking about increasing his wage and begging him to stay.

It is very touching what Tonali has done for his beloved club and he is willing to be a victim so that his beloved club can get additional funds to improve their squad for next season. I was quite surprised by the love of the Tonali family, which has been a part of AC Milan for generations and arrived until Tonali eventually became one of the players at AC Milan. It's a shame that in the end Tonali had to play for another club he didn't want and I think he has to be a professional footballer to give everything for Newcastle. Maybe if there is another chance then he will come home to AC Milan and I think his loyalty as a player is highly appreciated.

This situation is very unfortunate indeed, he is an impressive quality player and has become one of the most important players at AC Milan who has played the most minutes. I don't really understand what was the reason for AC Milan to make the decision to sell him. Yes, most likely the money factor was the trigger for Milan to sell him, because considering the club that wanted him was Newcastle, who had no doubts about his finances. Indeed, I understand that this is a good opportunity for AC Milan which is hard to miss to get a lot of profit and on the other hand they are in need of fresh funds to bring in some new quality players. He has been included in Newcastle's long-term plans, considering his new contract will be very long there. Tonali is a good player, I hope he won't find it difficult to adapt to his new club.

This is appreciation for the Arab government and its football federation. I think Ramos is not interested in the Arab league, maybe if there are no more clubs to sign him, Ramos will make Arab an alternative.

Now the Arab League has indirectly become a way out for some of Europe's top players who have lost their place at their clubs. This can be a good solution for the players, because yes we all know that they don't have to doubt anymore about the salary they will receive when they successfully join an Arab club, and on the other hand there will also be many benefits for Arab clubs because indirectly the reputation of the club will increase dramatically and I think this will also attract a lot of sponsors to work with.

At least maybe if Ramos says he is interested in moving to Arab then Al Nassr will be the leading club in this purchase.

Ramos has been putting sevilla as its priority, but sevilla is unwilling to pick him back again. Even though sevilla was in a very difficult situation as it must pay its debt as soon as possible. The possible thing for ramos to accept arabian club's offer.
It's better rather than being jobless in upcoming season. He will also be able to face his friend ronaldo and benzema as well. Ramos looks so stupid enough if he will be rejecting arabian club's offer.

He can think of retiring from professional football after he will acquire so much money from playing in arabian league. I hope ramos will not be stupid enough for that.
He shall let young talented player to get a chance.

It's better for him to think about his retirement some day.

Tony deserved it. Newcastle United will fight in UCL next year and they want to enter UCL with a worthy squad. Tonali, for whom they paid 70 million Euros for his testimonial, becomes a midfielder for Newcastle that has been considered for many years.

With his young age, of course, the payment is very appropriate and because of that, now Sandro Tonali has the opportunity to make a brilliant career. Moreover, next season he will be in the Premier League and will also play in the UCL with the Newcastle United team, which looked strong last season. So Sandro Tonali will definitely try to make himself the best midfielder in the Newcastle United team because it's not a bad team for him to have a career in.

I see today there was news that Al-Hilal is ready to offer Neymar a contract for 3 years, in the amount of 600 million euros. If we take into account the fact that the bosses of PSG have long wanted to sell Neymar and the dissatisfaction of the fans with his game, then Neymar may well be interested in changing the club. Although if Enrique becomes the coach, then Neymar would like to stay, because they had a good working relationship. But there is a possibility that PSG could lose all of their top strikers if Mbappe and Neymar decide to leave the club and agree transfers with new clubs.

This is absolutely mind-blowing and a very profitable deal for PSG if all parties can come to an agreement. Since PSG already have plans of selling Neymar I feel this is the best offer and opportunity on the table that they can make huge profit from without regrets and can also build up by getting a good replacement and few other additions with this money. With Enrique, things might change as he is already acquainted with the player and will love to be reunited with him again so I’m guessing Neymar’s move will depend on Enrique’s final decision now.

I wouldn't be surprised if this offer is made with the participation of PSG through 3 persons. They dream of getting rid of Neymar and were even willing to pay part of his salary at a new club if someone bought him in Europe. But due to the fact that the Saudis are buying up everyone (if their name is a good brand at least), it is obvious that the interests of several parties coincided here. Another thing is how Neymar is ready to change his usual environment at PSG to Saudi Arabia.

The arrival of Declan Rice to Arsenal will be decisive in the future for Granit Xhaka. We know that at this time there is no definite information regarding the clarity of Declan Rice's transfer to Arsenal, considering that there is no longer any competition in place and only Arsenal have the chance to get Declan Rice. On the other hand, Granit Xhaka is currently just waiting for the green light from Arsenal so he can join Leverkusen and according to sources, Granit Xhaka's talks with Xabi Alonso have been going on since last May.

Surely Leverkusen will be very happy if they manage to get an experienced player with good quality like Granit Xhaka. Now the decision rests with Declan Rice and if West Ham reach an agreement with Arsenal then Granit Xhaka will soon join Leverkusen in the bundesliga.

It seems to me that the next season in Saudi Arabia will be top of interest.

More players to come soon. I have heard that a lot of delegations have been sent by saudi clubs to the various league. The main mission to approaching the target to join in the saudi club. Im very happy to see that saudi moves so fast.
Money talks much here. Saudi is nothing without money but the ambition to host 2030 world cup has also been pushing saudi clubs to crazily spend money to get european players.
Al nassr in mission to approach onana or de gea.

Multiple reports say Al Nassr are prepared to offer de Gea a contract for $272,000 per week.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/7/2/saudi-club-al-nassr-sets-sights-on-man-u-goalkeeper-david-de-gea
Nassr is ready giving de gea a huge salary. I think de gea shall accept it. He will reunite with ronaldo again.

[Rikafip]

The Saudi Arabia league is not third none 10th in the world yet, but the progress their making it obvious they will be top five in four years to come except you're not observing well and following up.

Lol you serious, top 5 football league in the world in four years? Not even Saudis with their oil money can't buy that.

this big stars that's in the league already will encouraged the young stars to believe that their dream in football are real. the younger stars will be notice now globally because for the rapid changes in the league.

You can forget about young stars coming en masse to Saudi Arabia because that would be detrimental for their career and their own development. You can only improve and become better player if yopu play against the best players in the world, and they won't be there.

The negotiations between Manchester City and Leipzig for Josko Gvardioll still ongoing although reported Gvardioll and Manchester City has verbal agreement and he was agree to left Leipzig and go to Manchester City but the transfer fee for this player has not yet reached an agreement that Manchester City first bid was 75 millions plus ads on has been rejected because Leipzig want not less than 100 millions but Manchester City hasn't give up yet so officially they will offering second bid

Guardiola was impress to Gvardioll performance especially when he was able to bringing Croatia to gets 3rd position on world cup so that's why he eyeing Gvardioll since few months ago and i think this transfer almost be certain especially Leipzig will not hold Gvardioll much longer so if the price is agreed, he can move and play in the Premier League and Leipzig will make a huge profit from this transfer because when they bought Gvardioll from Dinamo Zagreb, the price was only 20 million

We agree that Josko Gvardiol is a potential defender, especially at his young age. but with a very fantastic price tag, is it worth it to come to the Etihad Stadium. although, for City it is not a problem to bring in Gvardiol with a price tag of £ 100 million. after all, City have no problems with the defensive players they have. At this point, I don't see that Pep really needs the services of Josko Gvardiol. however, the purchase of Josko Gvardiol is a very viable option and he is a future option in the event of a move to the Etihad Stadium.

Referring to Romano's tweet, Leipzig rejected a verbal approach for €75m + add-on. as previously rumored, Leipizig has set a price tag of at least €100 million for Gvardiol. a very fantastic price for a player in a CB position, if in the end the two teams have an agreement with the desired price beforehand.
But I'm pretty sure Manchester City will push the price lower than the €100 million that Leipzig want. we'll see, whether City will slowly withdraw or they will make a new offer.

Manchester City have lost some players, they need the best kind of players to replace the ones that left. Josko Gvardiol can be that player for Manchester City after Kovacic from Chelsea who just joined them. Josko Gvardiol is a young and very composed defender who is good with passes both short and long passes, he is also very adjustable and that is the kind of players that Manchester City coach likes. I checked for his strengths and weaknesses, one of his weaknesses is that he is not very good defending against aerial balls, Manchester City coach will know this too and know that he will be able to improve. He is a good player who I think will finally join Manchester City.

[Pokapoka124]

Manchester United are still messing around with one of the best goalkeeper in the world, I'm talking about David de Gea. With UTD thinking of getting Onana from Inter Milan, I feel is not going to work out as it stands. While the dedicated goalkeeper of UTD has given the Manchester United board a big yes that he wants to stay but it seems they're taking him for granted, first they didn't accept his proposal as to agree to his terms and now they're making him look like he has no other choice, yes David de Gea made the UTD board to see that his committed to the club that's why they don't want to give him what he wants, if I were to be the keeper I'd increase my salary to even make them seek for my service not the other way round. To me I feel he should leave the team and besides they (UTD) don't have much to spend, since they have spent half of the money on getting Mount and this window might be another worst transfer window for them.

I think the Glazers are the main problem at Manchester United as things stand because they are not willing to handle the affairs of the club efficiently. Some months ago I read about the final offer for take over which I expected will see  Manchester Uinted been owned by the Qataris but up till now no resolution or decision have been reached and it is affecting the club transfers for the summer. In my opinion I think De Gea has had a good career with Manchester United but it is time to part ways as he no longer performs at his best and has to be substituted.

I think Leipzig had been resistant to selling him but Gvardiol has told them of a desire to leave for Manchester city. And that’s why Leipzig are demanding £86million plus additional clauses for Gvardiol. I think Manchester city will get him because he is Pep Guardiola's priority, and Gvardiol operates in a similar position to Aymeric Laporte, who could leave the club over the coming weeks, although City have yet to field an official offer for him.
