⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[joniboini]

If Arne Slot wants the player, he should immediately make a valid decision, not just a rumor, because the Premier League season will start in 8 days so far Liverpool have not bought any players in the transfer market because I think Liverpool will only stick with the existing players and have no intention of buying any players this summer.

I mean, rumour comes from something right? Who's to say Slot is not the one who push this deal? I don't think a transfer can happen simply because he said OK. There's nothing he can do if the club provide no money, promise for a better transfer window next time, etc. So it's a bit unfair if we point a finger to him IMO.

The transfer window in the Premier League closes on August 31st and on the one hand there is very little time left, but on the other hand if Liverpool pays full compensation for the player then Sociedad's consent is not required and the transfer can be carried out very quickly.

I think it's a matter of whether he will have enough time to settle and learn the tactics if the transfer was made near the end of the transfer window. I'm not an expert but I'd rather make a deal as quickly as possible even if we have additional time dedicated for pre-season. Afterall there's nothing wrong with preparing as early as possible.

What I saw from the source of Fabrizio Romano was actually Eddie Nketiah was very eager to move to League 1 on the grounds that he had plans to develop his career with Marseille.
He is no longer needed to help Arsenal get great strength but Eddie Nketiah once gained a good experience to compete strongly in League 1.
If we compare EPL with League 1, it will certainly be more difficult to compete in EPL so that it is likely that Eddie Nketiah can get greater achievements because League 1 is not too competitive.
Arsenal should have released the player with a value of 27 million and that is enough for players who are not too productive and my prediction regarding this transfer seems that Arsenal will release the player with a value of 30 million.

It looks like the Eddie Nketiah transfer drama will continue because reportedly Marseille is also looking for other alternatives, Elye Wahi from Lens is on their wish list with a market value almost the same as Nketiah well, if Arsenal continue to insist on a high price, Nketiah will not move anywhere next season. Based on statistics Nketiah does look better but 30 million is considered too expensive and I doubt Marseille will pay that much, on the other hand Marseille really need a striker after they released 2 strikers in this transfer window well the conclusion is they have to get one of these players Eddie Nketiah or Elye Wahi.

West Ham seems to have successfully hijacked the transfer of defender Todibo from Nice to Juventus. According to reports, the player has said yes to West Ham after Juventus failed to find an agreement with Nice for weeks. It seems that the two clubs agreed on the transfer fees and bonuses but Nice insisted on a higher sale percentage than Juventus initially wanted to offer. West Ham came in at the last moment and accepted West Ham's terms. After Calafiori (who signed for Arsenal), this is now the second defender that Juventus will miss out on due to overcomplicating things.

Arne Slot reportedly wants Martin Zubimendi. Zubimendi is positioned as a central midfielder similar to Endo. This makes the competition even more interesting. Endo did not play well in several preseason matches. This makes Arne Slot want to add new players. This makes it seem like Endo will have a competitor. This made many rumors that Endo would leave, reportedly Marseille was interested in him. €14 million has been offered to Liverpool but has been rejected. It seems that Endo really wants to work hard to compete with Zubimendi if he really comes to Liverpool.

Let's be honest, Arne slot is a good coach and I believe what he is doing, Liverpool made a good choice by singing Arne Slot as their new coach, I have said before that Arne Slot is going to make a good signing and player he will sign is going to be the important player that Liverpool need, if we all look at Liverpool performance this pre-season we will all see that the position that is not that strong is a central midfielder, Endo is the one playing the position but we all can see that he is not in his form to Hold the position currently but signing zubimendi is going to make the position strong.

Some people might think Endo might not like it because buying Zubimendi will make him feel like the team is not more interested in him again but for me, it is good to sign another player who will compete with him so that he will be able to get back to his fit and play like the Endo we know before, signing Zubimendi is a very good signing and I believe he will help Liverpool so much and win a trophy this coming season.

There are reports that Marseille have reopened conversation with Arsenal to sign Eddie Nketiah. I think £27m is enough to close the deal for Nketiah and Arsenal are willing to lower their price because Nketiah is pushing for the move. Nketiah is a good player. For a team outside England; especially a French team that's not PSG to be willing to part with almost £20m pounds for you,  you must be decent.
Arsenal just don't have any use for a player like him anymore, if Arsenal doesn’t sell that dude now, his value will only depreciate further and they’ll have to continue to pay wages to a passenger. They’ll also have more unhappy and dissatisfied guys dissatisfied guys around.

What I saw from the source of Fabrizio Romano was actually Eddie Nketiah was very eager to move to League 1 on the grounds that he had plans to develop his career with Marseille.
He is no longer needed to help Arsenal get great strength but Eddie Nketiah once gained a good experience to compete strongly in League 1.

Arsenal should have released the player with a value of 27 million and that is enough for players who are not too productive and my prediction regarding this transfer seems that Arsenal will release the player with a value of 30 million.

For their new level and reputation that they’re trying to build, £25m + 2m realistic + 5m (unrealistic add-ons ) will still sound right. While it's well-known that Nketiah is an academy graduate, meaning any sale would represent pure profit, I still question whether renewing his contract at £100k per week was a wise business decision.

Simply breaking down the numbers, £100k per week over two years (104 weeks) amounts to £10.4 million. Selling him for £20 million would only yield a £9.6 million profit. In hindsight, they should have sold him earlier; extending his contract doesn’t seem to make financial sense to me.
Honestly I feel that Eddie Nketiah shouldn't be hard to sell if we are being truthful. It's a skill issue on the part of the Director of football. if they can't get at least £25m on him , and that's being gentle.

Marseille will build a good team with the young players they’re recruiting. They’ve gotten Mason Greenwood, Bamo Meite, Ismael Kome and now they’re bringing in Eddie Nketiah.

You can see that currently Westham is one of the clubs that is most active in recruiting new players and that is very different from what they usually do in every transfer market, so far Westham has confirmed that 7 new players will help their squad next season including Todibo (not yet Certainly) from the NiCe, if you look at the recruitment made by Westham currently, most of these players were previously linked to big teams, but Westham is moving more quickly to seal the deal,  Westham front line next season is very dangerous when currently they has get a fullkrug from Dortmund, Westham seem to have big ambitions next season to be able to compete in the Premier League, because so far I see that the only mid-table team that is active is them and even for the transfer of  7 players they have spent more than 167 million euros.

It's very hard to guess what Chelsea wanted for sure. This was because they have a bunch of strikers and goalkeepers. Honestly, this is another weird signing by Chelsea. It doesn't even make sense to compare unproven striker Samu with Diego Costa. I think Chelsea is just trying to see how much money they can spend on unproven talent.

It's very obvious that Chelsea's target is now to be relegated. Chelsea sells a very important player to Atlético and buys one that they don’t need back. It's hard to understand what the main motive of this transfer

Also, I don't know why Chelsea insists on giving unproven players like him a lengthy contract (7 years). It all doesn't even make sense.

I agree. They are still terrible with transfer policies. I just can't believe how Boehly can use his money this badly. Maybe he is a good businessman but still not good enough in football...  


Unai Emery still wants Joao Felix. But Aston Villa can't reach an agreement on the transfer fee with Atletico Madrid yet. There is no future left for Felix at his current team from now on. It is crystal clear. However he still couldn't find a new team for himself which must be worrying. I wonder whether Benfica wants him back. I think it would be really great for him to return there. He showed his best performances at Benfica.  

For example the 18/19 season was his career-high one.

This made many rumors that Endo would leave, reportedly Marseille was interested in him. €14 million has been offered to Liverpool but has been rejected. It seems that Endo really wants to work hard to compete with Zubimendi if he really comes to Liverpool.

Previously Martin Zubimendi was into Arsenal radar but he refuse Arsenal because he want to joining with Liverpool and this is good news because just like i said before Liverpool look for new defensive midfielder and i am very excited to see this happend because seems the negotiation between Liverpool and Sociedad are run well

Martin Zubimendi still waiting the decision of Sociedad about this transfer whether they will accept the offers from Liverpool or not and about transfer fees Martin Zubimendi has release clause price 66 million and Liverpool has been agree to pay according to his release clause price so if we see from these situations i think Sociedad should be accept Liverpool offers

About Wataru Endo i think this player was flop even i have to says he was unable to in form just like he was showing when still playing with Stuttgart besides that Wataru Endo even difficult to earn trust from Klopp because last season Wataru Endo mostly playing as substutition player and i think Liverpool should be sell this player

[Sg4j1n3ll0]

Gasperini spoken yesterday and he basically said that Koopermeiners will be a Juventus player very soon.
He wanted to kept the player but the player "refused" even to train for joining his next team.

Liverpool also tried to get the player but he wants to land in Turin.

Gasoperini said that practically Kopermers no longer wants to be a player from Atalanta but of Juventus and that he does not even want nenache to train with them, the decision seems to me hurried but considering that in a while the championship begins I would say that it is necessary as a choice not There is more time for hei to decide therefore soon it will be a new Juventus player, he is a great purchase and I am happy

I understand the situation is a little more complicated than you discribed. Koopermeiners himself has already agreed a personal contract with Juventus, but Juventus are ready to offer 45 million for him, and Atalanta estimates him at 60 million.
Then apparently to put pressure on the club Koopermeiners stopped training with the team and Gasperini said that the team will not give in to such blackmail and suspended the player.
Gasperini himself said that the situation is unusual and different from the usual sale of a player. So apparently now Atalanta and Gasperini decided to blackmail Juventus and Koopermeiners to get more money for him.

With this attitude, he cannot be useful to the team, or his teammates. Atalanta should not intend to keep Koopmeiners at all costs. Atalanta should take a very tough stance because it is true that the club feels blackmailed by this situation. I guess Gasperini and Koopmeiners might have had an argument during training.

Atalanta appears to have only one option left and that is to agree to sell him, and Koopmeiners will have achieved his goal of moving to Turin, with no need to wait much longer to see it happen. This may not reduce Atalanta's asking price, but Juventus now have a good chance of getting Atalanta to negotiate. Juventus needs to act now and help Koopmeiners out of Atalanta as he did his part by going on strike to force Atalanta to agree.

This is what the player are doing in fact he wants to go away and Atalanta is not holding him, but it seems that there are still some issues to be resolved linked to the contract that seems to be resolving certainly Juventus is a well -sailed team that knows how to do it Pleasure from the players, of the resrt when Juventus calls any player hardly answers no, and it is worth so for everyone is like Real Madrid in Europe

[Lida93]

He will still play in Serie A after previously being linked with Genoa but failed because of salary problems, is it possible that Genoa offered a smaller salary than Fiorentina?

€3 million per season is small, but it makes sense for De Gea to earn that much because we don't know how he will perform, having not played for a few seasons because no club wanted him.

Actually the financial status of both Fiorentina and Genoa are almost similar, but it's surprising if Genoa not willing to spend 3 Million Euros because they can afford it. But this is a good signing for Fiorentina, hopefully with De Gea they can at least secure to qualify for Europa Conference League.

De Gea can use this chance as a stepping stone too.

I am shocked to learn that a goalie as good as David de gea has been without a club for this long now, considering how good he was in the colors of Manchester united, though I didn't know if the information I got about him was wrong, but what I heard about him and why he has been without a club for this long is that he has refused to lower his salary demand, and almost all the clubs that came to acquire his services weren't able to afford his weekly wages, though I might be wrong, but that's what I heard about him, it was because of that he has stay so long without a club.

But as for the move to Fiorentina, I think he is a major plus to the team and he is definitely going to improve the goalkeeping position of Fiorentina without a doubt if he can stay fit.

Juventus are already doing everything they can to get Koopmeiners to leave Atalanta and have increased their offer to €55 million including bonuses and if the deal goes through, it will be a record transfer in Serie A history for the midfielder.
Atalanta is a very calculating club and usually they use this scheme without mistakes, they buy an underrated player or a young player, without experience but with potential and then if he starts to play well at the club, they sell him for a much higher amount than they bought. Everyone knows this and the players and other teams and no one stays long in Atalanta, but apparently here Atalanta is greedy and wants to get the absolute maximum from Juventus and if Atalanta will continue in the same way, I'm afraid that the deal may completely collapse.

I have also heard same about him and that was one of the reasons that lead to him leaving Manchester United. He was not performing well like he use to and when his contract expired and due for renewal, he was not ready to lower his pay and hence, they decide to let him leave. Staying for a whole season without a club can be detrimental to the performance of the player in the team. I hope he has been able to engage in lots of training in order not to lose form the more. I only saw in an headline that David De Gea will be joining a team in the Serie A side, but didn't know it will turn out to be Fiorentina. I already knew that no big team in the Serie A are in need of a goalkeeper, so seeing him joining Fiorentina is not a surprise to me. I wish him all the best there because Fiorentina have just strengthened their goal post the more by signing this top goalkeeper.

It is difficult to maintain the salary value that De Gea wants when many goalkeepers who are just starting their careers are ready with all the rules. All the rules are no longer the same so De Gea must be able to adjust that his era is no longer valid in today's football era. Fiorentina only dared to contract him for 1 year to anticipate that De Gea quality would decline. The agreement that De Gea received was not his wish but if he wants to be on the field then follow the club's rules. His large salary makes many clubs reluctant to contract him now in the end his value drops and he plays for a club like Fiorentina. Why not accept another offer from the start if his salary is reduced.

[Dzwaafu11]

If the club selling the current player and the club buying the player do not have a good understanding of the price, the deal will never be completed. The market price that Napoli have set for Osimhen is very high and no club will buy this player with such a huge market value. As Nepali can see that everyone thinks the amount of money set for this player is too high so why don't they reduce his market value a bit to sell him. Their actions reveal that maybe they only want to show Osimhen that they will sell him but in reality, they are not selling this player because the performance of this player is very much needed in their club. We have witnessed many complex transfers in the past and those deals were completed through compromises between the two parties, but Napoli is not making any compromises in this case.

For the fact that other clubs made a deal and it went successful, this shows that Napoli are not ready to sell Osimhen because if they really wanted to sell him out, they would have reduced the price so the deal could be successful, but they did not, and the price they want to sell him out, they would have reduced the price so the deal could be successful, but they did not, and the price they want to sell him is too much.

Many clubs want the player, but they may think Osimhen is not worth that price. Although it is good, that price is too high, and I don't think any team will buy him, so if Napoli really want the deal to go well, they will reduce the price and have a successful deal. Osimhen is very important in the Napoli squad. I don't think they will sell this player this coming season.

Arne Slot reportedly wants Martin Zubimendi. Zubimendi is positioned as a central midfielder similar to Endo. This makes the competition even more interesting.

This made many rumors that Endo would leave, reportedly Marseille was interested in him. €14 million has been offered to Liverpool but has been rejected. It seems that Endo really wants to work hard to compete with Zubimendi if he really comes to Liverpool.

As you can see, Endo is not in his feet, so he must do everything possible to see that he restores his value in the team because Zubimendi is good, and if he comes, Endo may not be valuable again, so that is why he needs to get back his performance. However, if Endo and Zubimendi are competing, I think it will be great and will make the two players strong, and with that, Liverpool will have two options, so getting Zubimendi is not going to be a big deal is another thing that will make Endo stronger in the team.

I'm not an expert but I'd rather make a deal as quickly as possible even if we have additional time dedicated for pre-season. Afterall there's nothing wrong with preparing as early as possible.

This makes sense but I don't think it's too critical, in any case he will need a few official games to get used to the team. But now the player is in an advantageous position when one club really wants to buy him and the other really wants to keep him, so he is unlikely to rush as he will try to make the most advantageous choice. And it is far from a fact that he will choose Liverpool, maybe he wants to go to another top club.

I wish him all the best there because Fiorentina have just strengthened their goal post the more by signing this top goalkeeper.

Am unsure if issues such as salary slash or a lack of better form was what ignited the call for David de gea leaving Manchester united, the issues surrounding the move was beyond those. What mainly caused his leaving was that the head coach Ten Hag has no need for him as his goalkeeping pattern was in line with what Ten hag was demanding and that was why Onana has to come into the picture for David de gea departure from the club.

On the area of questioning his current form, I think no club will sign a player that they aren't sure of his current form, and on his own side De gea must have been training all of this while to maintain form even if not officially. For me, Fiorentina is a big name in the Serial A and  no one can rule that out.

De Gea made several mistakes, the first and biggest was to stay without a team for a whole year, during which time he could lose his form, which is most likely the case and he did not have game practice all this time, which is very bad for a goalkeeper. And the second is that he demanded too high a salary, this is an indicator that the money are also very important to him, he strives for more, this is commendable, but he spent a whole year without football, and this is not very good. Fiorentina signed a contract with him for one year, because they are also afraid, and don't know, in which form the goalkeeper is now.

[Mr.right85]

West ham United have agreed a deal with Nice for Jean-Clair Todibo for €40m. I learned that Juventus were also interested in the deal but with the way they hijacked the deal from Juventus, I’m sure they would be pissed.

Juventus are always looking for a cheap deal from a foreign clubs as usual, but are willing to pay €55m for Atalanta Koopemeiners. They should’ve been the one to sign this defender to make more defensive options. Italian clubs are very stingy when it comes to signing players. Look at what they are doing with Lukaku, Inter Milan and AS Roma have taken him on loan and Napoli still wants to take him on loan again but Chelsea said No, Pay up. They are passing Lukaku around not wanting to pay to get the player. It’s a very common thing with Italian clubs.

I’m happy West ham have gotten a replacement for Kurt Zouma that’s left for Dubai. They have added some other players too. West Ham is very busy strengthening their team. Their team is looking solid.

[topbitcoin]

Seeing from the current news, Juventus is actually a club that benefits where with the personal agreement that Juventus has obtained with Koopmeiners, it is indeed very unlikely that Koopmeiners can survive at Atalanta especially with their current conditions.
The relationship between Koopmeiners and Gasperini was tense especially with Gasperini who had given a statement that Koopmeiners training strike had shown an attitude where he did not want to be at Atalanta next season. It could have been actually for Atalanta to let him go because no matter what this would be very difficult for Atalanta but it does seem that Gasperini is trying to let this cool down first in the hope that Koopmeiners changes his mind because when he goes to Juventus, the midfield will obviously have a big gap for Atalanta especially before they have lost Scamacca for a long time which makes this very difficult for Atalanta.

I think David De Gea would have transferred to one of the Arab teams if he prioritized only the salary. He wanted to stay in Europe and he wanted to stay with a good salary.

I read that he signed a 1+1 year deal with Fiorentina with an option. He looked very good in the training videos he posted on social media. But training sessions and matches are different. It will take time for him to get match pace. Because he hasn't played professional-level football for a year. When he starts again, he might not be as good as before. I think Fiorentina made the right choice by signing him on a 1+1 year contract.
