⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[tygeade]

You describe this as if Bayern Munich could take the initiative and decide what steps to take next. But that is not how this works. Musiala is the one who decides how these negotiations will go. It didn't go unnoticed that the best clubs in the world area already after him. He can play this season without any pressure whatsoever and while Bayern Munich would like him to sign a new contract tomorrow, there is no good reason for him to do that unless Bayern Munich offers him a package that he can't resist. But Musiala knows that he is in good shape and if he stays healthy for this season and he performs well, his market value will go through the roof even further.

If I were him, I would put all the negotiation rumors aside and concentrate on football. Bayern Munich is onto it, but there is nothing they can do to pressure him into signing anything too early.

I mean Bayern could have a big part of it without a doubt, they could offer him amounts that he can't refuse, more than any other team in Europe (they probably can't offer more than some Saudi club) so it is still having to do with them a lot. If Real offers him 40 million a year for example, not that Real Madrid needs Musiala, I am just giving an example, and Bayern Munich offers him "only" 20 million, then yeah he could leave. So Bayern Munich has a responsibility to keep offering him the best contract they can afford to offer, without that they are not going to get much.

There could be some other teams who will chase after him, but as long as Bayern offers a good amount, I do not see him doing anything that crazy, feels like it would be just fine. I understand that it is not going to be just that easy to handle, but it's doable. Bayern Munich makes so much money, paying a part of that to Musiala is something they can afford if they want to keep him.

With Mikel Arteta as coach, Arsenal will go far this season and we understand the pattern of the coach, aiming for goals and winning major titles with Arsenal but I do think it's not yet time. Mikel Arteta have core duties to carry out this season, we totally know the potential development of Gunners this season and exceptionally stunning.

Arteta started from scratch, even I felt doubtful when 2 years went on there was no good development with Arsenal. But I was wrong, Arteta was finally able to prove himself and be trusted again. Arteta was then given the trust and facilities to make several transfers. Although in the end they have not been able to become EPL champions. But if you look at the moment Arsenal is very good. I think Arsenal's target this year is to win the EPL.

The thing with Arsenal as a a club is that they don't easily get rid of their managers even after performing poor for long. I witnessed an era where arsenal ended the league in 8th position twice. It was literally a nightmare for the fans. But we've all seen a different arsenal team for the past two seasons now under the same arteta. I think arsenal has the chance of laying their hands on a trophy this season, seeing the quality of player in the team. Odegaard and Merino should be probably out for couple of weeks. Having those two quality in the midfield will help them in competing for major competition. Congrats to arteta and arsenal fans that still trust the process.

I can even guarantee that Jamal Musiala is much more important than Harry Kane, last season before Kane, Jamal Musiala role managed to contribute 12 goals and 10 assists so it makes sense for Bayern Munich to keep him longer. If they don't act soon, there will be many clubs who intend to bring him in at any price. He is still young but his maturity level on the field is unquestionable.

In my opinion, Jamal Musiala cannot be compared to Harry Kane because both of these players are important players for Bayern Munich at this time and the club will definitely continue to use these 2 players in every match, Harry Kane is a senior player and his experience in the Europa League is undoubtedly the club still needs him in the team no matter even though he is 31 years old he can still stay in the team maybe until he is 35 years old, while for Jamal Musiala the club will try to maintain him as much as they can but also not too pushy if there is a club that is interested and willing to pay a high price maybe Bayern Munich will release him by setting a high price because he is a valuable asset.

IMO, it's not ideal to make comparison of two players that plays in different position for same club, though we can't say the same when it comes to trophies. Kane is a well known striker, and his duty is literally to put the ball at the back of the net which he has been doing for the club. Musiala happens to be a  very good midfielder considering his current age, which is clearly an opportunity for him to improve. The both of them contribute to the team, so there is no point comparing them. But assuming the clubs eventually face some kind of financial challenges, and might want to get rid of just one of them, then I think harry is Likely to use the exit. That's just the truth, because Musiala still has lots of years ahead of him, and he is a very good player. Whenever I watch Germany or Munich's game, I always look forward to watching him. He is just my star man in both teams. Regardless, there is no need to make comparison as long as the club is fine with both players.

Indeed! Arsenal had really dark days with Arteta at first. Like getting stuck at positions near relegation zone because of having terrible performances. But I'm really glad that the board weren't impatient with him. After a really patient waiting now we have a wonderful team built thanks to Arteta.    They couldn't win any Premier League title yet maybe but I hope one day it will happen too.

Arteta is currently the second best manager after Guardiola in the Premier League in my opinion. I don't remember if I said this before, I believe Arteta might be Guardiola's heir at Manchester City as well.

Jackson signed his contract until 2033. Damn, what kind of longterm plan do the Blues want to show. This seems too early, I mean at least Jackson should go through this season until the end and see how much contribution he can give to the club. Since the deal has been done, so hopefully what Chelsea is doing can go well. Once again Jackson indirectly has a heavy burden on his shoulders to prove he is worthy, because if not then Jackson will receive a bitter risk from all the fans.

I don't know how this happened, whether it was initiated from the side of Jackson or from the management side. Giving a player like Jackson which I consider as average a contract of 8 years is outrageous or strange to me. It is also a risk to Jackson because he could be lucky and become a world sensation, then moving to a better club would be a problem.
Anyways, I'll need to know the clauses of this contract; the wages and the release clause before I'll make a better judgement.

very light rumor about an interest in the situation for Osimhen from Juventus.
The deal with Vlahvic will expire in 2 years, so the last summer it will be the last one where Juventus will have "power" over it.

For now it is nothing but let see how it will evolve in the following months

As the current first choice striker of a big club like Chelsea, I consider Nicholas Jackson to be the most lucky striker in the English Premier League but to see a news this morning about his contract extension till 2033, I think the Senegalese is now the luckiest striker in Europe at the moment. Personally, I consider Nicholas Jackson as an average player who shouldn't be a first choice striker in a top club in Europe but since fate have given him the opportunity to spend more time at the London club, there's nothing anyone of os can do about than to wish him all the best. Hopefully for him, he outperforms the expectations of his critics which I happen to be one of them. Congratulations to him.

Yes, I also think that Nicholas Jackson is in a state of grace and that thanks to luck he manages to stay there and put in some good performances. In my opinion we can also consider the player as average, nothing exceptional but in any case if he was chosen by Chelsea it means that He has some good characteristics, I hope he continues to do well

Arsenal's target has always been to win the EPL even since more than two decades ago. Arteta was good. He impacted the club. But, they lack a winning mentality.

It has been 5 years since Arteta was at Arsenal, but he could give only 1 trophy to his club. It's a shame to compare his club to their rival, Manchester United. They won two trophies in two seasons.

The winning mentality has always been Arsenal's problem since Wenger was there. It even still continues till this time. I'm always wondering how they can get rid of this problem.

I have no idea why Chelsea want to extend Jackson's contract when his performance isn't that good lol.

Chelsea will be in loss I guess, there's no team want Jackson except Chelsea release him cheaper than his market value. It's really rare to see old players in Chelsea, Jackson will turn 31 in the next 9 years, 31 years old striker in Premier League mostly can't compete with the young players anymore.

This is good news for the Arsenal team players and fans worldwide. No doubt ever since Arteta has been in Arsenal there has been nothing but steady improvement in the performance of the team. Not only that, his ability to sign good players in the team as well is a plus to his coaching skills. There is hope for Arsenal to break the yoke of several years of not being able to win the premier league.

With Mikel Arteta as coach, Arsenal will go far this season and we understand the pattern of the coach, aiming for goals and winning major titles with Arsenal but I do think it's not yet time. Mikel Arteta have core duties to carry out this season, we totally know the potential development of Gunners this season and exceptionally stunning. Mikel Arteta extends his contract with Arsenal and that simply means good news for the coach and the club. They're in full agreement and we'll watching the competitive season for Gunners. Since Mikel Arteta was handed the position of a coach, he's been working extremely hard enough to enact tactics that would be beneficial for the club and his player's development.

Arteta has the potential to become a great coach like his predecessor Pep Guardiola, he was once an assistant and sought knowledge and experience from Pep Guardiola. until the time he handled Arsenal, although it was difficult for him at the beginning, Arsenal gradually became a strong team over the past two seasons. unfortunately, this Arsenal manager did not bring in players as we, the Gunners supporters, wanted, yes, Arsenal needs a pure striker who is productive and can be relied on in the front line. I admit he has a clear vision and mission, about the long-term progress of The Gunners. therefore, he did it with hard work. so, it would be very natural if Stan Kroenke or the club gave him trust by extending his contract at the Emirates Stadium. although Arteta has not been able to present the Premier League trophy, thanks to him Arsenal has provided competition in the Premier League to its rivals. other good news, Gabriel Jesus has been reported to have trained with the main team. in addition, Merino's condition is getting better. unfortunately, the certainty of Odegaard's condition still needs a few more tests, hopefully he will not be absent for a long time.

Barcelona Boss Hansi Flick wants to sign the the Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala for Barcelona:
 
Here, Guys, I saw a fresh news on Twitter in which it was said that Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick is willing to sign one of the best young talent Jamal Musiala. Hansi Flick used Jamal Musiala before at Bayern Munich. Jamal Musiala was 17 years old when Hansi Flick gave him the opportunity to play the game in 2020, which has made him a world class player. And now from the interesting things that the same Bayern Munich ex coach Hansi Flick wants Jamal Musiala to move to Barcelona. And become a vital player for the club. In this regard, Johan Laporta is also willing to offer over $110 million to Bayern Munich for signing the young talent Jamal Musiala. 

Source: https://managingbarca.com/index.php/2024/09/11/flick-wants-barcelona-to-sign-german-superstar/

I'm not so sure about the truth of this news. Bringing Musiala to Camp Nou? Maybe it could happen but I don't know when.
What is clear is that I doubt Barca's finances are very bad at the moment, there is no way a deal can happen. For now, Barca must focus on improving their finances, don't be too ambitious about wanting star players out there, especially since there are many competitors to get Musiala's signature, there are still other rich clubs that can make good offers to Munich.
Another thing is that Munich will also keep Musiala at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich still needs Musiala's services to help the team in the Bundesliga and UCL.

Now Jackson is 23 years old, and I like the way he plays, of those forwards that are in the team now he is one of the best. No need to worry about what will happen to him in 9 years, now he is young and full of desire to play, especially since any contract can be terminated, and Chelsea is most likely trying to protect themselves in this way so as not to think about extending the contract with this forward in a year or two. If the team changes the coach, then he can give preference to other players, as now Sterling was left out of the game, although he constantly played with Pochettino.

In extending the contract Chelsea is right crazy to give a long time to the game while we know Jackson has not contributed much to Chelsea and last season he performed poorly but somehow Chelsea always extends long contracts not just 1 player but many.

Maybe we never know the reason behind it - or Chelsea management sees Jackson's potential in a brighter future so he is extended a longer contract for up to 8 more years.

I myself am not so sure he will perform brilliantly this season, he must try hard because Chelsea has given him full confidence with a long contract.

If you look at Jackson performance last season it is very natural for Chelsea to extend his current contract, Last season Jackson appeared quite impressive even though he did not play as a center striker,  Jackson who actually plays as a central striker, is often deployed as a winger or behind the striker but that does not reduce his sharpness in scoring goals in last season, even this season he has managed to score two goals and one assist from the 3 matches that have been played by Chelsea in the Premier League.
But the thing that surprised me the most was the length of the contracts currently being offered by Chelsea to players,  Chelsea gave on average their players offers new contract for almost 8 to 9 years, so this is indeed a crazy decision made by the Chelsea management, indeed it is not wrong to tie up many young players with long contracts but they should also realize that not all players will have the same consistency and performance every season, so when these players are in poor condition and are not interested in other teams , of course whether they like it or not they have to continue to pay their salaries according to the valid contract.

Maybe Chelsea saw something that we can't see at the moment. What I know is that Nicolas Jackson looks like an ordinary striker and his overall performance still far from being satisfactory. It seems like Chelsea still really hopes for the potential they think Jackson has. He probably has that because he's still young, but it could also be that he has reached a dead end, so that no matter how long it takes, he will still be like that.

If Musiala still have a brain, he should reject this offer.

Remember what Barcelona did to Gundongan, Barcelona now have Pedri, Gavi, De Jong and Olmo, it's hard for Musiala to become a starter. I'd think Bayern Munich is far more superior than Barcelona.

If Musiala join Barcelona, he will get:
1. Salary deduction.
2. No guarantee to play in every match.
3. Lost a chance to win Champions League.

I am sure Chelsea management has considered all this and taken this decision as a young player they saw potential in Nicolas Jackson and I agree with you that the game is not that bad, the market value also predicts the same thing because since he was brought in from Villareal, his market value has increased by 5 million from 30 to 35 million and maybe that's one of the reasons why Chelsea want to secure this player for a long time. Chelsea don't want Mbappe problem to happen again to Jackson.

For this season Nicolas Jackson has played 3 matches, scoring 2 goals and 1 assist this should be a good start and take a place in the starting lineup. Chelsea will play their next match this week and play as the away team against Bournemouth, I don't want to expect too much from this game but I want to see how Jackson plays. If he can score goals then I can say that Chelsea took the right step by extending his contract for the next 9 years.

Chill mate. Jackson’s still quite new to professional football, and he is still young. I think there is much more to come from him if he is willing to learn more and try to develop himself properly. however, 9 year contract given by Chelsea to him is insane.
            
He’s good but he’s not a great player, and that's crazy to see the way Chelsea is thinking. I'm also wondering who is knocking on Jackson’s door to get his signature once he will be fully developed.

But in the end this is just fan speculation because what I read in the last few reports on local media that this happened because it happened because some fans expected Musiala to be at the club and did not expect him to be like Muller who was always loyal to Bayern until the end of his career.

It is still unconfirmed about the club's interest as this is just fan speculation especially since Barcelona are also aware that they will definitely not be able to do that now especially considering that signing Dani Olmo some time ago was very difficult so it would be very naive when they try to bring in a player of Musiala's caliber who in terms of value and salary will definitely be greater than Dani Olmo, unless they dig their own graves.

Musila is currently still able to go anywhere, especially with his contract running out, it is very natural that there will be several clubs pursuing later, but things like this we also have to see how serious Bayern are trying to offer a new contract so that the possibility of Musiala's departure from the Alianz Arena is actually very small to happen.
