⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[asriloni]

I'm not surprised with the news at all. Because Nkunku isn't given enough time to play these days. I think he deserves to be given more chances as I believe he is way more talented than Jackson despite not being a natural CF. 

It must be probably due to Jackson's good form for a while. He scored for many weeks and didn't lose his place in the starting lineup. But his form started to drop again recently. Anyways, PSG has been looking for a solid striker for a long time. They want to seal the deal before the current transfer window ends. As I have heard only Osimhen's name I didn't know their interest in Nkunku. But I believe he would also be a better alternative to Kolo Muani. Unfortunately Kolo Muani can't meet the expectations. I liked Gonçalo Ramos more so far.

Nkuku gets fewer minutes to play in EPL, and this affects his form. He's not able to play like what he used to. Enough to become reasons why he shall leave from Chelsea instead to stay for longer. I do agree that he deserves a chance in PL, but Maresca is so stubborn to play Jackson, which is always up and down.

Nkuku must leave consider how difficult his situation is in Chelsea. The problem is his club is keen to let him go only if there will be a good offer come for him. That only possible if there will a bit club send an offer to his club.

Damn it!!! This is a big offer that Casemiro wouldn't think twice to accept because he knows this is the best he can get. SPL love buying European players that are no longer very active, because they still need their service and it's only when they have declined in form, that's possible for them to buy these players. I am happy that the reshuffling of players will go smoothly for a change in United performance.

I also think the same that it is time for Casemiro to think about his pension money rather than staying at Man United. After all his era must roll and let the young players take their roles. Now he is 32 years old, there are not many offers with a large enough amount other than from Saudi Arabia. For me Casemiro should leave immediately for a clearer future.

Amorim wants to renew the squad, it was clear from the very beginning when he joined the team, I think that Casemiro will be only the beginning of a big purge of the squad. Amorim experimented a lot, but it seems that all their attempts did not bring the expected result, and the difficulty is also in the fact that all lines require reinforcements, primarily defense, and of course they need a competitive attack. So far, Amorim has not produced anything good.

It is obvious that Amorim wants to make big changes to team and Casemiro leaving might be just beginning. Amorim has been trying out different ways of playing but sadly none of them have worked as well as he hoped. Team has problems in all areas but defense needs most improvement and they also need to be better at scoring goals. So far Amorim time in charge has been disappointing and we will have to wait and see if he can make things better with changes he has planned.

Despite all the things that are happening with Man United right now, we should no longer judge the coach as a disappointing coach or a bad coach, dirty play should not happen again, because why as Man United fans it is time for us to reflect on how many coaches should be dismissed because of handling Man United, the players should be blamed and so should the management working at Man United, the fact is Amorin is quite good, he works well but the disappointing results are not seen from the tactics he has but the players who cannot understand Amorin's mind and also many players who I think are also not in good form so this issue becomes big that Man United will release several players in the transfer market this time.

 Casemiro's name is also included in the sale of Man United. In my opinion, this is appropriate considering that Casemiro's performance has also begun to fade and also with his age, it is time for Man United to release him so that they have a little money to buy the players that Amorin wants because Man United also does not have much money in the transfer this time but if they succeed in selling some players I think that is good enough to fulfill Amorin's desire to advance at Man United, and I quite support Amorin whatever the results of this season, don't be part of the haters because Man United is really old for now and they have to take care of it again so that it doesn't just disappear.

FC barcelona has long been a staunch advocate of free agency in the past few seasons. although this may have been argued, there was more need than want in this successful strategy, still a long way to go identifying the right players to fit the club.

And in addition to the last few transfer windows, barcelona has brought to the club several top-class players as free agents, such as (Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, Eric garcía, sergio Agüero, Andreas christensen, Franck kessie, İlkay Gündoğan, Iñigo Martínez) and others.

Most of these signings have been sporting successes whatever they offered the club, while some like Kessié and Aubameyang have also been financial successes for a club that really struggled to do transfers in these terms year after year.

The Catalans have already reached an agreement for personal terms for Bayer leverkusen defender, Jonathan Tah, whose contract runs until June and so could come on a free.

Now, juventus reportedly want one of barcelona’s captains, Ronald araújo, and the player would be open to a transfer to Italy. The uruguayan's deal with the catalan club runs in 2026 and he has not signed an extension.

Regardless of whether araújo stays or goes, a 28y-o defender could age just like the wine, next summer. The German player is exactly what both club are looking for and the club is looking to add some Guddin depth on defense.

The choice will probably come down to who he would replace in the squad. If Araújo is sold, then we could make Tah his replacement. Another option would be to put two of Andreas Christensen or Eric García up for sale.

The 55 million euros rated uruguayan defender has contract up for review this year and Barcelona fans will love to see him renew and stay at the club his injury problems aside, he is a world class defender is too early to call on whether he has a future. We’ll just have to wait and see how it plays out from here on out.

There is a good offer that Amorim must take to exchange Rashford with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The potential is much more promising considering Khvicha is a player who is quite ambitious and willing to work hard. Rashford needs to find new experiences outside the Premier League because he also needs a little atmosphere in Serie A. He can also reunite with his teammate McTominay who has already developed rapidly with Napoli.

Nkunku is a player who is not too demanding as long as he can get enough playing time. However Maresca has a different opinion where Jackson is always prioritized even though he often wastes goal opportunities. How many opportunities he often wastes when playing on the field. He is an inconsistent player, I think Madueke is better than him. If Nkunku wants to leave then this is the right time, queuing too long at Chelsea just to get playing time makes him bored.

PSG are prepared to send Randal Kolo Muani out the door on a dry loan deal, with Juventus and Manchester United having opened talks for the Frenchman.
Kolo Muani (PSG): Both Juventus and Manchester United are interested.
PSG would also be willing to loan out the forward without a buy option, as per reports from Corriere dello Sport and Sky Sport Italia, while Juventus are now looking into a potential deal.
Juventus will need PSG to cover part of the 35 million euros of the striker’s salary in the second part of the season, according to Corriere dello Sport. But PSG’s openness to a dry loan makes Kolo Muani a feasible option for the Old Lady.
That said, the English tabloid adds that the 26-year-old France international is also of interest to Manchester United, who are considering a move as they too search for a boost in the midfield.
Tottenham and Milan are also mentioned as showing interest in the forward.

There are other rumors that Milan and Dortmund are also interested in Rashford. It's just that there is a problem related to Rashford's salary which is quite high and of course, it will be another negotiation for various parties before reaching an agreement.
Previously there were rumors regarding Amorim's interest in Osimhen, I think if there is an exchange option United will go there.
United are also reportedly going to release Antony.

1 week gone for the winter tranfert market and so far we got a poor session.
The top sale has been Seko Fofana for 20m€

Premier Leauge is sleeping with only 1 "big" sale to Spurs.

Serie A, Germany, France basically did nothing until now.

Firstly, I think that Conte will not give up Kvaratskhelia, why would he weaken his attack when he is fighting for the Scudetto, it is not clear how everything will work out with Rashford, and secondly, it is unlikely that Kvaratskhelia will want to move to a team that is at the bottom of the table. I see that they are writing about Milan making a loan offer for Rashford and this seems more likely to me, although Amorim needs money for new transfers, and a loan probably does not fit into his plans.

32 years old is not too old because i have seen some players on that age still able to managed their fitness condition and performing well so i think it's not an age issue but a performance decline issue because Casemiro was transfered from Real Madrid with expensive price but during his time with Manchester United his performance was not as expected

I think it's time for Casemiro to accept the offers from other clubs because Manchester United and Premier League is not his level again and I think Casemiro should move to a club where the competition is not as tight as the Premier League so Saudi Pro League seems suitable for him

The transfer process to Al Nassr has good progress because it says Casemiro has been accept the offer from Al Nassr with 650.000 weekly salaries and Manchester United too don't mind to received 30 million as transfer fees so Casemiro will be reunited with his team mate in Real Madrid and Manchester United Ronaldo

I read a report earlier today that Chelsea are lining up a move for Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi as they big to strengthen their defense this January. Guehi have been Crystal Palace most outstanding defender this season and as such, I doubt they'll want to allow him leave the club in the middle of the season. Maybe Chelsea will be willing to table a very tempting offer that might help convince Crystal Palace to let go of their rockie defender. Do you think such deal is gonna go through this January? Let me read your thoughts

Chelsea are not very balanced defensively as we know and looking to strengthen their defense in this transfer window is a good plan towards improvement though I am not sure Crystal Palace will be willing to lose one of their best assets in defense especially mid season. Chelsea can try to lure him to join hopefully with a good and lucrative deal it can happen.

An exchange between rashford and Kvaratskhelia would be very lucrative for Manchester United, but for Napoli it would obviously be a huge loss, because so far Kvaratskhelia is Napoli main player and I don't think if Conte wants to let him go, besides that, that the news there is no strong source that we can believe if the exchange will materialize between Manchester United and Napoli.
I am indeed quite sure if Rashford is likely to move to Serie A, especially now that it is reported that his agent is already in Italy, but not discussing with Napoli management but with Milan, even based on other sources, Rashford is ready to accept a salary cut in order to be able to join Milan in near time.

https://dailypost.ng/2025/01/07/transfer-casemiro-receives-650000-a-week-offer-to-join-ronaldo-at-al-nassr/

Manchester United midfielder, Casemiro, one of the Saudi Pro League’s highest earners if he moves to Al-Nassr this January. The Saudi Arabian side is offering him a whopping 650,000 per week. The player's performance has reduced in recent times and Manchester United will be willing to let him leave for as low as £25 million. SPL sporting director Michael Emenalo has confirmed the news and we might get further details about it in few days.

It is not strange that players who have declined in Europe will be attracted to Saudi Arabia to boost their popularity again, Arab clubs do have large finances so it would not be surprising if he received a salary of 650K per week.

Casemiro is 32 years old and his performance on the pitch will definitely decline but in the SPL he may still be needed because the league is not so tight, but it is his last way to earn more money before retiring.

That salary is almost double what he currently receives from Manchester United, Al Nassr is offering a figure that Casemiro finds hard to refuse. Manchester United appear to be trying to clear the warehouse, overhauling the squad depth inherited from Ten Hag, and Ruben Amorim seems to no longer need Casemiro at Old Trafford. In a less competitive league, Casemiro seems to have no trouble adapting, Al Nassr will benefit greatly from his signing. It is commonplace, the Saudi Pro League is currently the choice for players like Casemiro, the right step before entering retirement.

Damn it!!! This is a big offer that Casemiro wouldn't think twice to accept because he knows this is the best he can get. SPL love buying European players that are no longer very active, because they still need their service and it's only when they have declined in form, that's possible for them to buy these players. I am happy that the reshuffling of players will go smoothly for a change in United performance.

But in Casemiro's case his still very much active, as matter of fact Casemiro can actually perform optimumly for the next 3 years, but this offer is staggering, if there is a deal on the table for this humongous weekly payment, I believe Casemiro would not think twice about it.

As for the reshuffling, I'm still waiting to see what the future holds for Rashford, because I noticed he is one player Amorim is keen on letting go in earnest. However as for me, i just want to see him play for another team, maybe it can help trigger something new from Rashford.

Amorim wants to renew the squad, it was clear from the very beginning when he joined the team, I think that Casemiro will be only the beginning of a big purge of the squad. Amorim experimented a lot, but it seems that all their attempts did not bring the expected result, and the difficulty is also in the fact that all lines require reinforcements, primarily defense, and of course they need a competitive attack.

So far Amorim time in charge has been disappointing and we will have to wait and see if he can make things better with changes he has planned.

he has to make big chances, but whether that is in conformity with the club management or not has to be sorted out I guess. I think they were hoping that he can make the best out of the team that is already there and then change some positions during the transfer periods. But when you see how these guys are playing, I think they would have to change at least half the team if not more players.

To upgrade Manchester United into a title competitor, I think they would have to invest somewhere around 200 million and more. Since they have now been willing to buy out Amorim, his hope can only be that they will do it and take the money and give it a big shot to get some serious changes going.

He can also reunite with his teammate McTominay who has already developed rapidly with Napoli.

If this exchange happens, of course it is an advantage for Manchester united because Kvaratskhelia is still very young, where he is 23 years old and Rashford is already 27 years old, also with the quality possessed by Kvaratskhelia is very good with Napoli this season. But what I think is whether Kvaratskhelia wants to move to Manchester United while he is so comfortable with Napoli and he has even got what he wants with Napoli.

In addition, if you look back or the last transfer season when Kvaratskhelia got a lot of offers but he was not at all interested in leaving Napoli. I think the exchange desired by Manchester United will require long discussions on both sides of the team, maybe Napoli wants a lot of money because we know the owner of Napoli does not want to let go of his mainstay players if the desired price cannot be met.

Chelsea has sent 55 million offer for Guehi, but Crystal Palace rejected it. Crystal Palace has also confirmed they have no intention to let him leave this winter. It forces Chelsea to go to the secondary plan, which is bringing back Chalobach back to the club. He has been loaned to the Fulham and it's easy for Chelsea to do that. I'd prefer them go to the secondary plan. Chalobach is a good CB, and enough to strengthen their defense now.

If Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca felt that Trevoh Chalobah was a dependable defender, he wouldn't have been loaned to Crystal Palace. Also, there would have been no need to seek the service of Marc Guéhi. Chalobah's performance in Chelsea was not consistent. He would put u good work in a game and make some costly mistakes in another game. The club made the right decision to loan him for him to build his confidence. Maybe Trevoh might not want to return to Chelsea where he lost his position. There are rumors that the Blues might be selling players like midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Carney Chukwuemeka to fund the transfer of Guéhi.

The deal is good but is there any truth in this news? I understand the swap deal between Rashford and Osimhen hit a brick wall because of Osimhen's unwillingness to leave Galatasaray, but will Napoli want to path ways with one of its key assets? Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is going to be a nice acquisition, he can score and assist and he's just 23. If there's an offer on the table, United shouldn't hesitate. But like I said earlier, the news is too good to be true and he may choose not to leave just like his former teammate.

I am happy that the reshuffling of players will go smoothly for a change in United performance.

If AL-Nassr has offered this Brazilian midfielder such a large amount of money, I think he wouldn't worry about anything else without accepting this offer. This proposal is crazy for Casemiro, he has played for Manchester United for so long but he may not be seen wearing Manchester United's jersey in the future. From next season, it may be possible that this Brazilian midfielder is performing in the Saudi league with Cristiano Ronaldo. If Casemiro contracts with Saudi club AL-Nassr, this team will become more powerful, which will make them more likely to move to the top position in the points table.

Hopefully there is going to be a big transfer in the front transfer window in the transfer market for Casemiro.
