⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

If the player himself still wants to move to another club, because so far nobody is saying anything about it and there is nothing but rumours about Barcelona's desire. But it would be great if he does end up at Barcelona. In conjunction with Yamal he showed himself at the Euros just excellent, plus that he and Yamal are young players and you can hope for them

Barcelona would be more suited to Nico Williams because of his compactness with Yamal in maintaining the rhythm of the game as they showed at the Euro. The problem is Barcelona's seriousness and Barcelona's financial ability to get Williams if the player and the player's club are willing to let him go.
The Nico Williams transfer situation reminds me of the history of Fabregas' recruitment from Arsenal to Barcelona after performing well with Spain in international tournaments.

Meanwhile, whether De Bruyne will stay at Manchester City next season or not will really depend on the amount of salary offered and also the guarantee of playing in the future, If Manchester City were to cut De Bruyne salary just because of his old of course  he will choose to leave for other team, However, even though Manchester city currently has no intention of selling De Bruyne, but I am sure that he will probably move to Arabia to get a better salary in the future.

Older players will not be retained at Premier League clubs, they usually will not be renewed their contracts considering that their performance has begun to decline, which is the target of many English teams is that they are always looking for talented young players, so there is still a possibility that De Bruyne will leave after his contract expires.
If in Arabia it is certain to get a bigger salary, coupled with a free transfer, it could be that Arab clubs will compete to get him to anchor his team, but I'm sure Al Ittihad will wait until next season.

I think it would be more logical to wait until next year. Manchester City may send him off next year. Al Ittihad can transfer him for free. The contract fee they will give him alone will put a strain on them financially, but if they want to transfer him, they will also have to pay a transfer fee to Manchester City.

There's huge bidding for the Belgium international, very important for the improvement. The Citizens will not allow the player move to any club because he's important and consider one of the key men for Pep Guardiola. Kelvin De Bruyne is one of the best player in the English Premier League and have earned his respect prior to his outstanding performance and full-time dedicated spirit work to Manchester City.

News updated:

Arsenal joined the race for Nico Williams.

This will be interesting because it looks like some big clubs are starting to enliven the transfer of Nico Williams, who is currently still uncertain about his continuation with Barcelona because in addition to Arsenal, PSG is also now starting to try to communicate with Nico Williams, especially since negotiations with Osimhen are a little hampered because of the problem of clauses that are too big.

This is also a good blessing for Bilbao it seems because with so many clubs interested in Nico Williams it is clear that they will not budge with their release clause asking for 60 million and could even be more with the current interest.
But indeed with Arsenal's current condition especially Martineli on the wing I think this will only be exaggerated because indeed with Martineli who is still quite good even though this season he didn't really contribute much I think they would be better off looking for a striker rather than a winger.

Arsenal are more concerned with signing defenders as if that's all we need forgetting that the best way to defend is to attack. They need a Bukayo Saka's back up, but it seems Edu and Arteta aren’t even thinking about that.
Nico Williams is a good player, no doubt. But looking at this Arsenal squad we can all agree that is not a priority. I mean they have two good players in that position already. Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard plays on the left wing and that’s exactly where Nico excels. He can also play on the right but with the way this Arsenal team plays, a left footed winger fits perfectly on the right side.
Arsenal have been linked to Pedro Neto of Wolves. Rumors has it that his representatives have been contacted. He’s the player that I will like Arteta to bring to the Emirates. He’ll be a good signing for the Gunners than Nico Williams. He has been in the EPL for quite a long time and I trust Arteta to bring out the potential in him.

Arsenal next move of signing the good player like, Martin Zubimendi,  Mikel Merino and Dani Olmo in the Euro 2024 in their target list will help the team  to do well. Even the last season, Arsenal was doing well but there were some lapses so the coach knows who is needed though as you pointed out clearly, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard are good players but Mikel knows what he is doing.

By the way, the ridiculous amount of 60 million that PSG is offering does not raise any questions in your mind?

I don't know for sure what PSG are offering, but if it is indeed £60m, then that is not enough to get a top, talented and young striker like Victor Osimhen. Napoli wants PSG to trigger his release clause, i am pretty sure they would not do not so too, as it is around €130m IIRC, they definitely cannot pay that high, so if the deal must pull through, both clubs must find a middle ground.

That being said, there are talks of Osimhen moving to the Saudi Pro League if this deal does not work out, he wants to leave Napoli. It is going to be somewhat sad to see such a young talent move to the Saudi League, i know he will make all the money in the world, but it would not be good for his career and his chances of individual awards.

If I remember correctly, Osimhen initially had a high salary and then when he extended his contract, he seriously increased it. If after this, having the option to move to other top clubs in Europe (with obviously no less salary), he goes to Saudi Arabia, this will mean that he is to some extent finished with football and chose only money. But I hope that this will not happen and Osimhen will remain in Europe to realize his ambitions.

Victor Osimhen is still a young player that is trying to come up in the limelight of the greatest footballers in the world due to his impressive performance for his team Napoli two seasons ago but last season he was somehow backwards due to injury as he managed to play just 25 matches and scored 15 goals so he is still very much recognized in Europe and he should forget about the salary he will earn and look for a perfect team where he can showcase more of his talents and from his performance they can increase his salary with time but since he is still young, if he decides to go to Saudi league just because of money that means he should be prepared to rubbish his football career because he won't be visible in the Saudi league and other big clubs may not find him suitable enough to join them in Europe so he should be very careful about his choices at this time of his football career and make right decisions that will help him develop more as an international player.
