⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

but it was normal for the departure of Osimhen who in my opinion is a great player in my opinion it could really happen but in my opinion the exchange with Lukaku should not be done because he is exchanging himself for an old player who will not be able to do like Osimhen, plus losing even some money!

Although doing the exchange Napoli still gets benefits if the price of Lukaku is reduced with the price agreement between the two clubs with this can also reduce Chelsea's expenses so far Chelsea has recruited many players in total there are 12 players they brought to the club if they add Victor Oshimen will further increase Chelsea's expenses at least they can reduce some players to sell to other clubs.

Lukaku is needed by Napoli and vice versa Chelsea needs Oshimen so the exchange of both will be the right choice for each club.

~Snip~

Mikel Obi and Didier Drogba are trying to make sure that Osimhen signs for Chelsea because they believe he can really do well, maybe he will because he has a very good fighting spirit.

I was surprised from the news to see Crystal Palace loose Michael Olise to Bayern, Manchester United were pushing the race before. Olise in Bayern will be a very good one to help Kompany claim back the Bundesliga for Bayern Munich.

This transfer has to happen because it is very beneficial for Chelsea, rather than Lukaku leaving for free, it is better to include him in the Osimhen transfer deal + some money. Osimhen playing style could adapt quickly to Chelsea, he will also be guaranteed a place in the main squad. Currently, Chelsea is trying to improve after changing coaches, perhaps an improvement in performance will be seen soon if they can convince some quality players to join them.

Manchester United clearly lost the competition with Bayern Munich in the fight for Michael Olise, Bayern Munich can guarantee Michael Olise to appear in the Champions League, while Manchester United only competes in the Europa League. The quality of Bayern Munich and Manchester United is also very different, so I would not be too surprised if Michael Olise prefers to go to the Bundesliga rather than move to a team led by Ten Hag.

Romelu Lukaku is not a consistent player, we have watch his incredible performance turning out to fade. I'm a Chelsea fan and I wouldn't want to see Victor Osimhen in Chelsea jersey because it makes no point to me. The Nigeria international is simply one of the overhyped player in Seria A and I wouldn't want to see him becoming the topic of attention in Stamford Bridge. I liked the current position and status of Chelsea, there's unity in the club and the new boss, Enzo Maresca will do his best to seal the very amazing results for the club.

Napoli hatch Victor Osimhen Chelsea transfer plan amid £115m Romelu Lukaku offer



It seems that Napoli and Chelsea could possibly come to an agreement. We will probably see Osimhen in a Chelsea jersey next season. Arsenal and PSG are no longer interested in Osimhen, possibly at a cost of €150 million.

Chelsea is never interesting to recruit him due to the his price, and even the negotiation to adds lukaku as a part of agreement to buy Osimhen is not even providing good solution over Osimhen's price. napoli priced him too high, and also, it seems Napoli has no money even to buy Napoli alone.

It's quite impossible for Chelsea and Napoli to reach an agreement over the swap transfer between Lukaku, and Napoli. This very long drama between Chelsea and Napoli must end soon.

How credible is this piss of news? I think you should have provide the source that said that this particular transfer is off the table, because from my own point of view, I don't think this particular transfer speculation is going away without no conclusion just now, though it's very true that victor osimhen is being over price and that has made his move out of the club to stall up till this moment, but by the look of things, I believe that it might goes to the last day.

Ok let's look at the Napoli team, they aren't that complete without an attacker and it's very obvious that romelu lukaku is the only one that Antonio conte want in the team, which is why I believe so much that in the very end, their will definitely be a compromise from Napoli and this victor osimhen and Romelu lukaku swap deal will eventually happen.
Lastly, why I believe that Napoli will eventually reduced their price for victor osimhen is that, they wouldn't want an unhappy player in their team, and besides his transfer value might drop even more if they keep hold of him longer than this season, so it's best they compromise and sell now than later.

[punk.zink]

I can say this is one of the best signing of Man United in the current transfer window. Man United really needs better defenders, they sign the right players to strengthen their defense line. If Man United can keep the fitness of De Ligt and Mazraoui well in the whole season, I am very sure they will perform optimally. I just feel a bit worried with De Light because he often gets injury.

If the coach does not rotation the players and play them fully in every match then it is feared that it will be prone to injury.
Last season we saw Martinez who always had problems which affected their defense line because he was stuck with injuries.
That is why it is important to have good squad depth so that the manager can rotate players if needed.
Both names are good players that Manchester United bought, they have really overhauled the team now to compete.

The game in the Premier League is much tougher and maybe different from the competition in the Bundesliga or others so the coach must try to be careful when playing De Light to avoid injury.

Man United's biggest problem in the last season were injuries. A lot of them. Which is why they tried to increase squad depth. Especially in defense. They bought Leny Yoro, who unfortunately got injured but he'll be back. They got the amazing two players you mentioned, who will be enough for rotations I believe.

United have a good season ahead of them. A lot of youngsters too. If they can keep their momentum, they will be easily fighting for the top four this season.

Injury problems are like a scourge that always haunts Man United, and because of that problem what made them so struggle in the Premier League last season. The new season hasn't started yet but, Man United has already found several of its players injured. Leny Yoro, Rasmus Hojlund, and last but not least Luke Shaw. The arrival of De Ligt and Mazraoui is definitely a breath of fresh air for Man United, at least their defensive line wasn't in tatters to start the season.

To be honest, I really hope Man United will get a new defensive midfielder soon because that is also the position that was Man United's weak point last season. Though Casemiro played quite impressively in the FA Community Shield but I doubt if he can play consistently throughout the season.

After being fired by Chelsea, now Pochettino is reported to be returning to coaching but this is not the club he coached but the American national team that he will handle. In preparation for the 2026 World Cup, the American national team really wants an experienced coach and maybe we agree that Pochettino is the right person.

Last season was a mistake by hoping for Chelsea, even though he managed to make this team better if given more time. But at that time the management's decision seemed unilateral and did not see a more detailed evaluation of Pochettino's work. Actually becoming a Chelsea coach is a career decline and inevitably the effect is that no club is interested in him. Now his work must continue if he wants to return to club level and hopes that his path in handling the American national team can be a good thing for his career.

Apparently this news is valid because whether it Pochettino and Football Federation of United States have reach an verbal agreement and the new contract has been under discussion and in the next few days Pochettino expected will signing the contract but some people has just speculation that most likely Pochettino will be contract until world cup 2026 and because United States is the host of world cup 2026 then this team automatically to qualified to that tournament and Pochettino having 2 years to prepare a solid team to play in the world cup

Correct me if i am wrong but if i am not mistaken this is first experience for Pochettino to train National team so this could be big challenge for him and we all know he has good reputation to train big clubs such as Chelsea, Tottenham and PSG so probably Pochettino is the right manager for United States

at the moment, no one really has evidence to show concerning the stand of the two clubs on the fate of osimehn before the end of the transfer windows. What's on the news is just speculation based on some obvious facts available to the public. Chelsea has made a lot of signing already although they still need an alternative or a complementary attacker that will assist Jackson upfront. Getting osimehn will be a great booster for the Chelsea attack but you can't factor out the rest effect of the price Napoli is ready to give osimehn out with and how feasible it is for clubs to pay such amount on him as it stands.

Lastly, why I believe that Napoli will eventually reduced their price for victor osimhen is that, they wouldn't want an unhappy player in their team, and besides his transfer value might drop even more if they keep hold of him longer than this season, so it's best they compromise and sell now than later.

in my opinion, at the time when osimehn was the talk of all the big clubs, Napoli would have sold him that time and save themselves from all these transfer drama. No player is irreplaceable and even though they sold him at the time, Napoli would have still figured out a way to still survive. But they waited more than necessary And now he's lost his form to some extent and I'm not even sure his pattern of play will suit what goes on at the EPL. It's just best they reduce the amount and allow him go. He's already lost interest in the club and obviously want an exit as soon as necessary or else he stays and becomes a disadvantage to the club.

European football is seeing more and more talented coaches, with increasingly modern and intelligent coaching and management styles. Let's discuss who is the best. I will name 4 coaches that I want to discuss: Mikel Arteta, Xabi Alonso, Erik Ten Hag, and Xavi Hernandez. Personally, I think Arteta is the best, he has built Arsenal in an upward direction, with good control with a higher pressing style of play. What do you think?

[xzone]

Arteta and Arsenal's success is really great. No one can argue the opposite. But I think Xabi is a more successful coach. He and his team have achieved great success in the league championship that has not changed for many years. Arteta has not won the championship yet. Of course, the current situation of the team is very effective in this, Arsenal was a very bad team for a while but now it is not the same.
Also, I don't understand what this issue has to do with transfer speculation

[Cryptmuster]

Instead of using Osimhen in a swap, they can allow his transfer. Maybe it would be better that way. I know that one of the teams interested in him is PSG under Enrique. If Osimhen chooses PSG instead of going to Chelsea, they can buy Lukaku from Chelsea with the money that comes from there.

This is not entirely true, recently Enrique expressed his opinion on this matter and made it clear that PSG does not need Osimhen, I think the main reason for this decision was his inflated cost on the transfer market.

Heard now that Giovanni Manna has upped the negotiation deal by requesting for Caicedo along with Lukaku for Osimhen with an additional €50m. It's not a secret that the Italian outfit are looking for a way to ship off the Nigerian and maybe they(Chelsea) may be tempted by this offer because they need a striker and with the fact that they may face a transfer ban, this is not an offer that should be thought about twice.
 Osimhen on the other hand is quite reluctant to head to Chelsea because to him it's like a step down and prefers to go to PSG who can meet up his salary wages without stress and also because they qualified for champions league and that's something he wants to be part of.
Let's just hope a club buys him out of Napoli else I feel he'd have a tough time under Antonio Conte.

It is unlikely that Osimhen's move to Chelsea will be a step back, in my opinion these clubs are now at about the same level, perhaps Chelsea is even better because they will play in the Europa League, and Napoli were left without European Cups. I understand that Osimhen would like to move to a team that plays in the Champions League, but it is obvious that such teams do not need his services, or perhaps I expressed myself incorrectly, let's say Arsenal is ready to buy Osimhen but for 70m euros, so the reason that he remains in Napoli is obvious.

I think Chelsea and Napoli will eventually reach an agreement. Napoli will get Lukaku and Chelsea will get Osimhen. We had heard many rumors so far. I thought we would see Osimhen at Arsenal or PSG. But PSG and Arsenal have lost interest in Osimhen due to his high release clause. Although these two clubs are very rich, neither club is interested in spending so much money at the moment.

It wouldn't be a bad decision for Osimhen to actually be at Chelsea. But since the last few years we have not seen good performance from Chelsea, and this team did not qualify for the Champions League. This is probably why Osimhen is not interested in coming to Chelsea. But I think Napoli will try to sell Osimhen this season. If not, maybe Napoli club will face a big loss. Because Osimhen's contract with Napoli expires in 2026. Napoli will suffer financially if they cannot earn a large amount of money by selling Osimhen.

In this regard, there is a mutual result, not only Chelsea started to play worse but Osimhen also had a less impressive season, so it seems to me that in this regard, everything is ok. And by the way, I have doubts that the teams will be able to agree on this exchange...

It is true that vini can earn a lot of money by playing in the Saudi league. But perhaps his career will not go forward. Vini is now at the most important moment of his career.

I read about the fee he was offered, even per minute, which was phenomenal. And it certainly made us all gasp. But for once, Vini JR is not interested, and Real Madrid will not let him go this season.

Anyway, Latest news from Napoli, finally they close deal on David Neres, Benfica Right Winger. Release caluse closed to €30m, he will be soon at medical tests.

Source: David Neres to Napoli

Napoli have been eyeing Neres since last month, who is one of Conte's targets to complete the puzzle of his squad.

I think David Neres will be an important project for Conte this season, actually they have been monitoring this player for months and now they have reached an agreement to make him a Napoli player, last season Neres also made a good contribution to Benfica and most likely he will also give the same or more to his new club Napoli, the 27 year old player is also very imaginative in doing skills and passing opponents and I think he will be a good player later on the Napoli wing.

Now Napoli will definitely be targeting some new players and most importantly this is a good start for Napoli management by trying to fulfill Conte's desire to fight at their club Napoli, and now David Neres is preparing to undergo his medical there, and I am sure he is a good player that Conte will bring this season.

[Marvell1]

Yes we know, last season Man United showed a bad defense and was not a club that was able to compete, with the line-up of players at that time it was indeed called a club with talented players, but in reality it was just nonsense and did not present the Premier League title, only able to finish in 8th position at the end of the season.

Man United always showed bad defense in every season. They only had good defense in sir Alex Ferguson era.
After sir Alex Ferguson era, it is difficult to claim that Man United has enough talented players. Even they have talented players, the talented players always get difficulty to develop under the new managers. Man United players have bad relationship with the manager, especially with Ten Hag. It is impossible to win EPL title if Ten Hag managing style never changes. He may be good in tactical aspect, but he has a problem in mentality.
-snip
It is too early to claim Yoro is a failed purchase. Before we conclude anything, just let him to play for few matches in EPL firstly.

It is actually good that they are not spending too much money on a single player. Well, I guess they cannot afford to do that anywhere right now. Because they do not have that kind of money lying around. They have spent money in a pretty dumb way. And now they are just facing the consequences. The money they have wasted trying to get Maguire, Pogba, and Antony was just too much. If I recall correctly, Pogba actually left Manchester United for free. Harry Maguire was unusable for quite a bit of time. But they did not want to face a bad financial situation and that’s why they did not want to let him go even for 25 million. In the end, he was able to play at least better than what he was. But never actually delivered the results that were expected from him. I guess I don’t even have to talk about Antony. he was speaking like this is going to be the season when everything changes. Let’s see if it does.

I hope the players that they are getting now will perform better. And yes let’s see some matches in the English Premier League and not reach any conclusions so early.

Ten Hag is the best, he's the only one that can find the strongest player which is Antony. He also sign both Onana and Mount, two of them are second best players than Antony, they can fight against Real Madrid.

He's also know Ronaldo is a worst player and Sancho is over, that's why he don't mind to argue with Ronaldo and give punishment to Sancho.

If I were The Glazers, I would offer lifetime contract to Ten Hag because I don't want him to move to other team, it will be a disaster to Manchester United.

Don't be too honest buddy. Lol

When Onana was poor Erik ten Hag was the first to defend him even though it cost the club because he made blunders.
Mount is useless in my opinion, but for Ten Hag he is a great player.
Antony is an expensive player but starting to fade.

Erik Ten Hag at Ajax was much better, but when he came to Man United everything changed.

[Hvdv]

but it was normal for the departure of Osimhen who in my opinion is a great player in my opinion it could really happen but in my opinion the exchange with Lukaku should not be done because he is exchanging himself for an old player who will not be able to do like Osimhen, plus losing even some money!

Although doing the exchange Napoli still gets benefits if the price of Lukaku is reduced with the price agreement between the two clubs with this can also reduce Chelsea's expenses so far Chelsea has recruited many players in total there are 12 players they brought to the club if they add Victor Oshimen will further increase Chelsea's expenses at least they can reduce some players to sell to other clubs.

Lukaku is needed by Napoli and vice versa Chelsea needs Oshimen so the exchange of both will be the right choice for each club.

The possibility of a trade is of course the best option for both teams, but will Osimhen want it? Maybe he will prefer to stay in Napoli for another year instead of playing for Chelsea, who will not play in the UCL. Napoli has a very good history and with the right tactics they have a chance to win the Scudetto again. Conte may want to keep Osimhen in the team and want to win the championship. I know everyone is expecting this transfer to happen, but it may not happen.

Really? Is this some form of sarcasm, or What? Did you say Ronaldo was a worse player? Well, I don't think so. Erik Ten Hag could not manage Ronaldo at a time and that inhibits his much expected performance in the club. Ronaldo is a world time best player and you cannot expect him to be treated like other young talented players even though I'm not saying you should have any grandiose treatment either. But the way you manage a star player like Ronaldo will definitely be different from how you manage other players and likewise the expectations you have from him. But when he started having issues with Erik Ten Hag, I knew nothing positive was going to come out of it. Erik would have done better with Ronaldo than when he was absent. Ronaldo would have been used to stabilize the front and create goals for the club while he also assist the younger players to score more goals. Even when he tried, he couldn't because he was literally frustrated by his manager. It became more evident when Ronaldo left for the Saudi Pro League and how he was able to show his presence in an entirely new league with new squad.

Mount is useless in my opinion, but for Ten Hag he is a great player.
Antony is an expensive player but starting to fade.

Erik Ten Hag at Ajax was much better, but when he came to Man United everything changed.

He did that is a definite thing because after all it is a form of protection for the players so that their mentality remains awake besides that, it is also used as an excuse to make his purchase not used as an excuse so that he is not a very good coach for Manchester United especially with all his ego of course he does not want to be blamed
Furthermore I think it is not wrong if we criticize some players at Manchester United but maybe there is a slight exception for Mount last season. Indeed he also did not play well but it cannot be denied that this happened due to the many injuries he received which required him to rest for a long time in the treatment room so that he was unable to compete well and give his performance at Manchester United last season.

[barisbilgili]

I know everyone is expecting this transfer to happen, but it may not happen.

Staying at Napoli also does not guarantee Osimhen's career will be better in the future, I think the problem is not only that but also between Napoli management and Osimhen who no longer have strong chemistry and in my opinion Osimhen is no longer wholeheartedly playing for Napoli so it is indeed appropriate for Napoli management to sell Osimhen in the transfer market this season and in my opinion it will work well for both Napoli and Osimhen.

There are many possible options to happen, an exchange or Osimhen going to another team because currently there are several teams interested in bringing in Osimhen but are constrained by the selling price which is too high set by Napoli management.

I know everyone is expecting this transfer to happen, but it may not happen.

but it's not the same to play the Champions League with Napoli as with Chelsea, let's face it, Napoli won't even be able to compete for the Scudetto this year because there are many teams that are coming up and want to win, so it will be a team that will have to fight for the top places in the championship at least the first year

[Velvet78]

But, I still question whether Napoli has money to sign him from Manchester United. or will they send another nonsense offer like they did to Chelsea over Lukaku?

I don't know how good their finances are recently honestly. But if they especially agree on a deal for Osimhen ASAP then they would be able to afford many players. But first they need to make some sacrifice from the amount they want (130 million euros).    Let's say they agreed for around 100 million, it would be great for them anyway. For now they are in talks with Chelsea. There might be swap plus money deal as Napoli wants Lukaku.




https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/aug/12/chelsea-eye-permanent-deal-for-atletico-madrids-joao-felix

Joao Felix to Chelsea... Very likely to happen soon as it seems. It would be great news for Atletico Madrid and Felix both. He has no future left there you know. Chelsea will need to pay quite a lot for his fee though. I hope he would show performances proving his value.
