⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[salad daging]

Chelsea have plans but with the constant signings of these young players, I must say that I'm fed up and wouldn't welcome or stand another chance of their signings. These new signings are absolutely not relevant to me, instead they should divert into another dimension, we need a striker and not a pack of players that are underage. Perhaps we totally understand what Todd Boehly is trying to do here, making sure the future of the club is in safe hands, we get that. Todd Boehly have to make proper changes and take bold steps if he's keen on executing promising plans for the club.

What they are currently doing in terms of planning is actually quite raw because Todd only wants change in an instant period of time so they do all forms of means including using their money recklessly which we can even see their losses in the last 2 seasons.

This clearly makes their situation even more difficult but it seems like Todd still doesn't want to stop and this season they also continue to make transfers that really don't need to be done because it's just a waste of money.

Looking at the depth of the current squad we must understand how he let the club lose financially. for example in the goalkeeping position. Currently there are so many Chelsea goalkeepers that even if you look at transfermarkt there are at least 6 goalkeepers they have and in my opinion this is a waste and their plans are not mature enough for a big club.

There are reports linking Liverpool striker Darwin Nunes, to Arsenal. I don’t know how to feel about this. But If Nunez is really the guy, that takes them to a whole different level, then they should go get him.

I feel like it's another fake report to be honest. I mean, why would they look for Nunez considering how expensive he was when Liverpool bought him. I don't think they'll sell him for cheap if they even have that intention. Not to mention his finishing issues. No point selling Nketiah if they're looking for him then, at least that's how most people says about this rumour.

For that price, i can't complain. This is because with 15 million will get you a championship-level player. The problem might be on his wages, which was around 150k, and he was 3rd highest on wages at juventus.

Do we know how much he'll earn at Liverpool though? Last time I read the number we know is limited to the transfer fee plus how long his new contract will be (6 years iirc). I doubt Liverpool will change their wages structure that much just for a new player judging from the owner spending habit.

But at this point, any transfer news will trend, at the end of it all, the window will shut, and Arsenal won’t sign any player.
They’ll probably throw in several last minute bids (which they know won’t be accepted by the selling club) in the final hours of the window closing.
But if this rumors are true, Nunez won’t be a bad signing for them at all. He can play on the wings and as CF. What worries me is his conversion rate but he’ll surely cause chaos in opponent’s defense line.

Good thing is, Nunez has the body of work, he delivered at Benfica, so chances that he will do it again exists. Same way Kai Havertz did it at Leverkusen and Arteta hoped he will do it at Arsenal (and is somewhat doing it).

Stefan Bejcetic to Barcelona is a deal I want to happen. Before he got injured I watched him a couple of times and he was very good. A very technical player. He's not physically strong, but he makes up for it with his technical skills. He will most likely not play many games for Liverpool but in Barcelona, there is a high probability he will be a starter, not an undisputed starter, but he would be a starter nevertheless because of the recent injury of Barcelona starlet Marc Bernal. I would not like him to be on the bench with all his qualities, he needs to develop and Barcelona might be a good place to do that.

A loan to Barcelona is a good option for all parties. If he performs well and develops properly Liverpool can either take him back or Barcelona tries to sign him and if so Liverpool will request a reasonable fee depending on his improvement. Let's see what happens in the few days of the transfer window that remains.

Transferring too many players and trying to build a good and quality squad are two different things. I think Chelsea is mixing these two things. There are too many players in the team and this transfer policy is on the world's agenda. The common comment of everyone who follows sports news is "What is Chelsea trying to do?". What is Chelsea really trying to do with these transfers.

They could have used the money spent on transfers to develop their squad in a more logical way. I wonder if they are thinking of selling all these players for very high prices or if they are creating such a transfer strategy.

What's Chelsea actually doing? This is the biggest mystery in the world of football right now, because they keep buying players, one after another. And no club in the world needs that much depth, really.

Now we have seen Enzo Maresca saying that he only works 21 of them, and the rest of them trains somewhere else. If so, what is the point of buying so many players? Where are they supposed to play? Do they care about gametime, or are they here just for vibes, just to warm the bench? I have no clue, but if this is a business plan of Todd Boehly, the man has lost the plot. This will ensure nothing but a worse future for Chelsea.

chelsea is joking
the recruitment they did this summer was ridiculous, on average the players Chelsea bought this time were players who were not necessarily able to improve the club's performance in the premier league, how can the management easily spend money on such ridiculous purchases, and how do they manage these players, Todd Boehly really destroyed Chelsea's old image, he can't manage the club well, I'm sure most of the blues fans are fed up with what he did to their beloved club and I'm sure Chelsea will face many problems in the future.

Chelsea have plans but with the constant signings of these young players, I must say that I'm fed up and wouldn't welcome or stand another chance of their signings.

I have already commented several times on how I cannot understand what the hell Chelsea wants. In this transfer window, Chelsea was the team that made the most signings and the saddest part is that they were meaningless signings, they signed very young players who at this moment will not be of much help to the team, as everyone has already said. But the most shocking thing about all this is that the coach and the management of Chelsea are sending away good players, they are even making threats. Look at this news:~

Enzo Maresca on Sterling, Chalobah and the others: “All the players who in this moment are training apart will NOT get any minutes in case they stay”.

“My advice to Sterling? He knows exactly what he has to do”.

“It’s not just Raheem, all of them”, says via

Sterling is a good player and does not deserve to be treated this way. It seems to me that Chelsea no longer has any respect for its players. The management and the coach are arrogant. I hope that Sterling and all the players who are being sent away from Chelsea get a better team and shine in this other team.

Osimhen is always a good choice for a team where he goes because he is very talented and excellent footballer also knows how to play accordingly to the game plan and execute the plan perfectly so that's the reason he is a 1st priority for every manager to take on this player.

Until now, the Osimhen drama has not resulted in recruitment for the club that wants him. PSG is currently no longer interested, Chelsea is still trying to find the ideal option. Meanwhile, Al-Ahli, reportedly the talks will be continued directly with Al-Ahli management in Italy, quoted from Fabrio Romano. In the same report, Chelsea is still negotiating the terms of the contract with the Nigerian international striker. Interestingly, the transfer window is only a matter of days for European clubs. If Chelsea is interested in bringing Osimhen to Stamford Bridge, they must be quick because there is only a little time left. Even so, I'm actually not sure. It would be a shame, a player of Osimhen's level is so difficult to leave because his club wants a price according to the release clause.

I have a different opinion. There was a time when Victor Osimhen was a very hot name in the transfer market. In the context of the football world lacking good strikers, the Nigerian player is sought after by many big teams in Europe. Now, even if the selling price of Osimhen is reduced to only about 70-80 million euros, it will not be easy for Napoli to liquidate him. I see his appeal has decreased significantly, European teams are also very willing to spend on the transfer market. But no team is willing to spend a lot of money to get Osimhen.
It can be seen that Osimhen wants to move to play for a big team and wants to receive generous treatment. At the moment, it is very difficult for both of his wishes to come true. The offer from Al-Ahli can help him receive a high salary.

Chelsea  are keen to add a quality striker to their squad before the transfer window closes. While they may have failed in their pursuit of Victor Osimhen, the club could look to Brentford's Ivan Toney as an alternative.

[bitgolden]

Ugarte deal is certainly a good one for United, there is no doubt that he will be very good for them, I think it's clear that they needed someone that can replace Casemiro and been trying a few names there so far, but they finally got the one they wanted. Amrabat has been on the transfer list for a while, but they were looking for a lot of money since they didn't had anyone else, now that they have Ugarte, I guess that Amrabat has one foot out the door, I have no idea who they will sell him to, but I am sure he is too much for the squad.

Interestingly, not everyone is like Chelsea, keep buying players and not sell them and just balloon up the size of the team, most teams like United, buy a player, and then try to sell another one to make room. That is why I feel like Amrabat is gone, and as soon as Hojlund and Yoro makes a come back, I am sure that United will be much better than people expect, they just had a very unlucky start, but they will be fine.

[Amphenomenon]

Todd Boehly is now on the verge of running business with Chelsea football club, people are only looking at the signing of these players as just to come in and only play for Chelsea, I doubt.

Running football club is a business and every club owners try to make decisions that are beneficial to the club for profit and in order for the club to continue running.
As this strategy is not working well he should opt for other options, it's obvious Investing in Cobham is better since we make more money selling them at least or they can make it to the first team, I don't have to speak much of how much profit we have gained from them especially this season from Conor Gallagher and Ian Maasten.

This season, Chelsea Todd Boehly has come out fully for Business with Chelsea football club, by going on capturing of these potential young star early now that their market value isn't much high and with the hope of selling them when they're ripped and thereby profiting way higher than the amount they initially bought them, else Chelsea won't be having up to 7 keepers in there just for keeping’s sake and to helping Chelsea lift trophies.

You got something wrong here, this had actually started since he came to Chelsea, don't forget the likes of Andrey Santos, Datro Fofana and the likes still yet there haven't been much positive talks around them except for Andrey Santos who is still quite doing well, but there are others who he had signed also

[Leviathan.007]

Since Motta joined Juventus he made some changes and stopped working with some players while he tried to hire some other player for this team. Alex Sandro is one of these players who left Juventus. Alex Sandro was playing Juvetos for 9 years and he had a good performance for this team.
His performance in Porto made Juvetos to hire this Brazilian player in 2015 and he played in 230 games for Juventus during this time.
Now this 33-year-old player is going to play for Flamengo.

It can be seen that Osimhen wants to move to play for a big team and wants to receive generous treatment. At the moment, it is very difficult for both of his wishes to come true. The offer from Al-Ahli can help him receive a high salary.

Initially, Osimhen really did not want to move to the Saudi League. However, if you look at the current situation, it has started to change, especially since the transfer market is almost closed. If you consider a transfer fee of that size and a promising salary, then the choice is Al-Ahli or other Saudi Arabian clubs.

[EL MOHA]

Liverpool is said to have reached an agreement with Chiesa and they are also preparing alternatives for the Premier League. I am sure that Chiesa is ready to fight to win the jersey without expecting to be in the first 11. Juventus lost by selling him but they will definitely buy a player to replace him before the end of the transfer season. Liverpool is a strong team and we will probably see matches where Chiesa will enter the game later and carry the team with his speed.

Until now I still cannot fathom why the Juventus board or even Thiago Motta were just not having it with him. Federico Chiesa is my favourite Italian player currently because of his playing style, Chiesa can play all the three rows upfront and he will do well at them. Yes I understand that ethe Juventus team will need a massive clear out to begin another chapter again as they have simply been a shadow of themselves over this few years. But even during a period of clear out one needs to show support to some players just to have them as senior players in the club and Chiesa is definitely one of those leader needed to help build a new project.

Personally I think his exit has to be a personal problem with the coach or management than a his performance or impact. juventus on the other hand are just looking for his replacement even the likes of Jordan Sancho of Manchester United and Chelsea’s training banned Sterling have been considered. To me Chiesa is better currently than both except maybe Sancho whose poor performance can be said to be because of his attitude as he continues to win Ten Hag’s trust again or because he doesn’t want to be in the United team anymore. My thoughts were Manchester United or even Chelsea would have use this opportunity to do a swap deal involving the club’s unwanted players but none of the two premier league sides actually picked interest. To Liverpool got a gem here for a very little money and in todays Market it is a good buy

His performance in Porto made Juvetos to hire this Brazilian player in 2015 and he played in 230 games for Juventus during this time.
Now this 33-year-old player is going to play for Flamengo.

Alex Sandro had started to show a decline in performance due to his age. Motta, who calculated the best for Juventus, had shown from the very beginning that he would follow a different transfer policy by not wanting him on the team. I think Alex made his best choice by returning to Brazil. Maybe it would have been better to go to the Saudi league, but instead he chose Brazil.

[Hirose UK]

Federico Chiesa There We Land finally managed to be brought by Liverpool to Anfield as a left forward who will provide many opening opportunities for goals. But with him going to Liverpool means Juventus loses a pretty important figure. Arne Slot must have provided a special format for Chiesa, his statistics are pretty good, pursuing a career in the Premier League must make Chiesa challenged, this tight league must be used as a high motivation.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1828760390320189550

It seems like Arsenal has a new problem this time. With the arrival of Chiesa, Liverpool will certainly be stronger and Arne Slot will find it easier to strategize using quality players. Liverpool is very perfect in the RW position with Salah and on the LW has Chiesa who is always ready to help Diogo Jota to continue scoring and winning 3 points from every match in the EPL later. Juventus will indeed lose important players, but it will be more important if Juventus finances recover soon and I will not be surprised if Juventus sells its professional players because the aim is to improve the team's finances so that it does not become a problem in the long term.

Yes you are right, indeed Chiesa presence with Liverpool will be able to make Liverpool this season much better and allow them to compete with Arsenal in the fight for the Premier League title.
Not only Arsenal but also the defending champion Manchester City will definitely feel the same thing where they get pressure from Liverpool increasingly strong performance and make the competition for points to occupy the top of the standings even fiercer.

But even though it is now believed that Liverpool can perform well, it will also be difficult for them to win the title, especially since this is Arne Slot first season.
It is still very rare for coach to be able to bring team in just his first season leading, at least it takes one or two season to be able to realize all that, but if Arne Slot succeeds then he will be great coach and recognized by many people.

Motta, who calculated the best for Juventus, had shown from the very beginning that he would follow a different transfer policy by not wanting him on the team. I think Alex made his best choice by returning to Brazil. Maybe it would have been better to go to the Saudi league, but instead he chose Brazil.

When the player's performance decreases due to age, they will be faced with conditions of uncertainty in playing because the club needs consistent players to maintain the opportunity to compete with other teams.
Returning to Brazil is a good choice because he will feel like returning to his hometown, but if an offer from Saudi Arabia ever comes and he does not accept the offer, it will be very detrimental.
Even though playing there can improve finances better than playing in Brazil because the salary will definitely be bigger in Saudi Arabia.

Finally Liverpool have announced their first recruit this summer after a long journey, even though I initially thought Liverpool did not recruit players because so far their movement has been quite slow in the transfer market but Liverpool have officially recruited new goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia the club must spend 35 million euros to get the services of this player, but Giorgi Mamardashvili will only join Liverpool next season entering the 2025/26 season.

Not only that, reportedly Liverpool will also recruit Federico Chiesa from Juventus at a relatively cheap price of only 11 million euros, it is known that Federico Chiesa is not included in Thiago Motta's plans, of course he has to find a new club that is willing to use his services, he was linked by several clubs but it turns out that Liverpool will soon get his signature and reportedly today Federico Chiesa is flying to Merseyside to complete his transfer.

[davis196]

Liverpool buying Federico Chiesa for 10 million seems like a risky transfer, because Chiesa got thru a heavy injury 3 years ago and he is not the player he used to be. He might get injured again. I guess that Arne Slot is signing Chiesa as a substitute player, who will replace other players every now and then. I don't know if Salah is going t leave Liverpool. Maybe he will stay for another season.
Manchester United signing Manuel Ugarte seems like a great transfer. United definitely needs strong midfielders. I also hear rumors about Chelsea and United exchanging Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho. This seems like a ridiculous idea. Both players are in a bad shape and have absurd salaries. Sancho has problems with his discipline. I don't even know why Chelsea had to sign Raheem Sterling.

[Pandorak]

[...]

[...] but the presence of last season's top La Liga scorer should be a motivation for other strikers to show their quality to the coach so they don't lose their place in the main squad. Roma has just suffered a defeat in Serie A, De Rossi who has just learned a valuable lesson must look at the situation that is happening in his current squad, he needs to maintain the sharpness of the attack line and the solidity of the back line in order to minimize the loss of points in the next match.

They are certainly motivated by having Artem Dovbyk at AS Roma, but how can they show that they can compete if they are not given playing time?

There have been 2 matches played in Serie A, but even though Tammy Abraham has not been given the opportunity, he was only given the opportunity when AS Roma faced Cagliari, and even then he played in injury time which was not worthy of seeing his performance.

[bitgolden]

Chiesa to Liverpool isn't really that small business or news, it's a big deal and I think it is going to be quite important for Liverpool, to get someone so good for such a cheap price. I think the fact that Chiesa wanted to leave played a big role on this and I feel like he forced their hand to sell him, which made his price drop, because I believe that he is at least a 30-40 million player without a doubt, not someone who should be sold for 15 million.


Liverpool definitely has a good squad now and Arne Slot is making them play very well too, there is a chance that they could once again fight for a title, doesn't mean that they will win it, just means that they could be somewhere around the top and could get a good result.

Wow, I never saw this coming, that victor osimhen will even contemplate on going to Saudi Arabia at this early stage of his career, though it's very obvious that if something like that happens, it's because right now his options is not that much, the likes of psg and arsenal have all dropped out of the race to acquire his services, so Chelsea right now is his only credible option in Europe, so if Chelsea and Napoli can't agree to a deal, then he has no choice than to consider moving to Saudi Arabia.

Though, if victor osimhen was my younger brother, I would advice him that if the Chelsea deal fail to materialize, he should stay put at Napoli for one more season than going to Saudi Arabia, though I actually don't know if Antonio conte would still want him in his team, but that's a decision the club must make between him and all parties involved, but the money Al-Ahli are offering is very tempting, and it's too good to turn down, but just as you rightfully said, this deal of him going to Saudi Arabia boils down to if he can agree a deal with Chelsea or not, so anything can still happen.
