⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[ajanwalker]

I predicted Carreras would be transferred to the Spanish league due to his performance in the Champions League.
Real Madrid acquired the player. I don't think Real Madrid will have a left-back problem for the long term, barring injuries or anything else. He's a player with excellent attacking and defensive skills.

Benfica has replenished its coffers again with the players it sold this year. They sold Orkun for €30 million and Carreras to Real Madrid for €50 million.

If you were a Liverpool fan who would you prefer - Isak or  Ekitike

Isak for 2025 has always been a campaign for most football fans wish for their club but Newcastle United are not interested to sell the player. He is the best striker in the Premier League so far.

Isak will be leaving for €120m if Newcastle agrees for Liverpool. While a bid for Ekitike has been sent valued around €80m

If i were Liverpool, the answer is obvious "Isaak". Why? He's PL proven, so clinical in finishing, has pretty good physic combined with fast speed. He's so consistent to be among the top scorer list in any season. That's sense reason why £120m look so cheap for him. He got everything as a deadly striker.
I don't wanna compare him to the Ekitike as he's far superior than Ekitike. I remind you there's no guarantee non PL proven striker can perform well once he moves to the EPL.

To conclude, Isaak transfer makes more sense instead of Ekitike. Liverpool is also prioritizing him over Ekitike.

I see no reason to put Ekitike as priority instead of Isaak. Liverpool can start to approach Isaak first, if they fail, then go to Ekitike. That's it.

Real Madrid has officially announced its new signing. Alvaro Carreras is Real Madrid's new player. With Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander Arnold, and Carreras, Real Madrid has significantly strengthened its defensive line. They also have numerous players in other areas, including Rüdiger, Militao, Vazquez, Alaba, Fran Garcia, and Asencio. The battle for a place in defense will be fierce. I don't know if they'll be making any more signings, but Xabi is taking steps toward the future, and we can see this in the players he's acquired.

Real Madrid has moved quickly to improve their defense. With Dean Huijsen at center-back, Alvaro Carreras at left-back, and Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back, Real Madrid has many options for their defense. Real Madrid also brought in right-winger Franco Mastantuono, who is still only 18 years old. And I think Real Madrid is preparing for the long term, not just for next season. This shows how well-planned this club is. I hope Xabi Alonso, as a relatively young coach, can also meet the expectations of all Real Madrid fans. Because Real Madrid currently really needs someone who can revive the team's best performance. And even in this transfer window, Real Madrid has begun to release players who are no longer young. Although most of them are due to the expiration of their contracts, such as Luka Modric, Jesus Vallejo, and Lucas Vasquez.

For Madrid it’s not just about signing young players it’s a matter of if they’ll give them opportunities to play, Madrid is not a club that gives young talent a lot of opportunities to thrive, I hope they change that cos their game really need to improve especially in the midfield and defence.
The coach has to trust in his youngsters like arda guler, this Gonzalo Garcia guy and that Brazilian young forward they have, Dean Huijsen is already a starter now, Raul Ascencio has to improve his game.
Madrid normally  signs youngsters just to sell them or loan them out later, Alonso might change that cos he gives youngsters opportunities so probably we might see this change at Madrid.

Madrid surely feels like a club that buys every good players but fails to create a team out of them. It's similar to what PSG was few years ago. It's not the highest paid players that makes you win, its more about how each player plays their role along with having a high level understanding of each others presence and acting with hive mentality.
Leverkusen and Girona was example of such teams which didn't had star players but had success as a team. Real with such a possession of talents would have no difficulty in rising to its peak if they be just be able to understand each other better. There already have been some positive changes on the team and I believe Xabi Alonso is capable of doing that.

Newcastle are reluctant to selling Isak, and I think other clubs should respect that decision, because I think Newcastle still wants to compete in the premier league. But the thing is, with these too many interest from top clubs in the premier league, Newcastle has to decide fast now that Isak is still valued at that amount. The moment every top clubs in the premier league and across Europe finally secures a long term striker, and Isak starts pushing for an exit, they won't get such valuation again for sure.

Liverpool should try to sort out what is needed before the league starts. Wasting time on Isak might not end well because Newcastle has being so reluctant in the past two seasons. And I heard that Rodrygo might be a replacement for Diaz, who is eager to leave the club. There is still time for these things, but Liverpool needs to make things snappy before the season starts.

Can someone please explain to me what's the sell-on clause that Napoli is requesting from Galatasaray to be paid in Osimhen's transfer fee? I am getting to hear about such manner of deal for the first time after you're requesting for a €75m as release clause. IMHO, this is Napoli just trying to make Victor Osimhen deal to Galatasaray a difficult one just to discourage the Turkish club in their interest for the Striker.

To be honest it's very unfair for a coach that's about to start his debut season, he managed to help the team escape relegation despite starting mid-season so what they're supposed to do is back him up in the transfer window so he'll have a successful season ahead but then I wonder why the board is not really active in the window. It shows that they want him to fail so they'll panic and sign another coach again mid-season, it keeps going on and on but then no one but the coach is held accountable, if the owners of the team are not competent enough to get things going smoothly then they should sell the club to better suitors cause they've destroyed the legacy of that great club and it's so sad.

Amorim is what you mean? Don't get me wrong. Since Sir Jim Ratcliffe came into the ownership of Manchester United through the INEOS company by acquiring a 25% stake from the largest shareholder of the Glazer family, there has been a good change that is different from before.

Indeed, Manchester United only got Cunha and Diego Leon, this shows that Amorim wants the management not to be too hasty to spend a lot of money on just one player who ends up like Antony and Onana.
The process of getting Bryan Mbeumo should have shown how they did it wisely, including giving Cunha the number 10 which indicates that no player is bigger than the club.

Amorim wants players to play for the team not for others, let alone for money. If you don't want to, please find another team.
Is that clear?

Napoli requested 20% cut fees from future sale of Osimhen. In example, If Galatasaray will sell Osimhen like 50m in the future, around 20% of that fees will go to the Napoli's pocket. I think that is unacceptable for sure.

The truth and reality of today in football is that so many clubs makes crazy deals and I wouldn't be surprised if this happens to materialize. If Galatassry needs Osimhen's services urgently, they will be forced to sign him and bear what ever cost his transfer in the future will cost. In reality, if Osimhen is in form and performs excellently for Galatassry if they sign him, they will still make a lot of money from him that will be way more than the amount they will sign and the amount they will give to Napoli in the future if they sell him.

I think most of Liverpool fans will says they will be more prefer the club to buy Isak rather than Ekitike it because with Newcastle Isak has fantastic performance and his goals records for each season is very impressive besides that because Isak playing with Newcastle which the club from Premier league i am sure it's not hard for him to adapt with Liverpool
But the most problem is Newcastle want high price for Isak i think this is difficult situation for Liverpool to buy him especially this summer Liverpool have been spend a lot of money and in my view if Newcastle don't want to lowering prices this transfer most likely will not be happen

[KingsDen]

The most recent update on Osimhen is this.

Galatasaray wants to divide that 35 million euros part into 2 years but Napoli wants it to be paid next year. I wonder how much sell-on clause is being demanded too...

I don't know whether Galatasaray will be able to find a middle way here. But I just hope Osimhen doesn't stay away from football for a year. Because he is reluctant to play for Napoli now.

How did Victor Osimhen managed to be caught in this Napoli rubbish. Why is he being punished in this manner. I had long advised Victor to go Saudi Arabia for 2 seasons, by now this would have been his last season. He would make enough money and still return to Europe to enjoy football if he so believes that what they play in Saudi is not football.

I will be sad if Victor settles for less again this season. Victor Osimhen is a good guy and doesn't deserve this I'll treatment from Napoli.

It's the money they'll get from a future transfer of Osimhen to another club, it's similar to what Manchester United are getting from Elanga's transfer to Newcastle and Alvaro's transfer to Real Madrid it simply means that they'll get a certaint amount of money when Galatasaray decides to sell Osimhen to another club, most club do that recently especially when they want to give out a prospect or important player to another team.

[JeffBrad12]

It seems Onana's injury really give Manchester United fans joy.  Their club is trying to approach Martinez to join as their new goalie. I think he's an upgrade from what they have. However, only hope them to be cautious with Martinez's attitude and mannerism.
The only thing that is doubting me is that Martinez's asking price (£40m), which is utterly non sense. It's not worth with how old he is now. Do you guys agree to see Martinez to come as Onana's replacement?

I'm really sad for Victor Osimhen for going to Napoli. I have never seen a controversial move of a football player like Osimhen with Napoli, they are been consumed by greed. They want to risk it all just to milk this guy efforts with money, same player they bought for $50m and was able to give them frost trophy after 30 years plus without nobody even knowing there existence, I personally didn't even pay any attention to them until Victor came to the club.

They want to eat in his future sale to other club but they frustrated Lile in exchange for players. I
Osimhen has just a year with them before he becomes a free agent, if there is no any other club than Galatasaray, they are going to bend to them and accept the offer, they will rather accept him now than wait for nothing, at least they know they have some money coming in the future documented but I hope Osimhen doesn't take a long deal with Galatasaray, it's not going to end well in that club too.

I think Galatasaray has given Napoli a considerable offer. It's now up to them to make the final decision. How would they ask for such a future sale percentage from a club that is even struggling to raise funds to complete the transfer deal? The Turkish side deserve to receive 100% of the funds that will be realised from the future sale if Osimhen so that they can gain from thier investment.

I don't know why you think that Emiliano Martinez's age is a problem, he is just 32 so it's not an old age and besides he is a goalie so if Manchester United cannot take up his price then they rather look for another goalkeeper. As for Onana, i don't even know why Manchester United relied so much on the goalkeeper because he concedes so many goals that caused the team many embarrassment but that doesn't mean that Manchester United fans should be happy about his injury. A player or a goalie getting an injury is not something to rejoice over, if they no longer want the goalkeeper then they should sign a new one. I don't really know much about Emiliano Martinez's attitude while playing but this is a player that have made quite some good saves for Villa, if he moves to a big team like Manchester United he will know that he has to control his attitude and work towards the growth of the team.

Martinez is a good goalie and doesn't take unnecessary risks like Onana. So, if he is willing to come, I will like it despite his age.
Atleast, if Onana sees a serious competition, he will sit up. It is not only Onana, every position in Manchester United squad needs a serious and competitive backup. This is the only way to intill seriousness in the players and make them fight for the position.

Wait a moment, has Manchester United got a striker? Are they planning to continue with Hojlung?

The Osimhen transfer news is getting out of hand. Nobody wants him. No bidder except Galatasaray. Napoli wants 75 million Euros and they can agree on a figure. But they haven't agreed on a payment plan for days. This is very normal because Galatasaray doesn't pay this money in advance, they can't, they don't have such financial power. It's natural for Napoli to ask for guarantees, they are trying to protect themselves. They don't want to end up in court. Meanwhile, whether Osimhen can really contribute like last year is another question. I don't think he can play the same way after all these discussions.

[el kaka22]

Osimhen saga for Galatasaray seems to be getting to an end. Either they are going to get him soon, like today or tomorrow, or they will just stop trying, leave an offer on the table and just let it be. Because it has been weeks since the officials are at Italy and talking ,and no matter what happens, outside of 75 million directly paid, Napoli rejects all deals.

And Galatasaray obviously doesn't have 75 million laying around somewhere, plus FFP doesn't let them. So it would be impossible for any of this to work out well enough. The reality is the fact that we are going to see Napoli and Osimhen keep on fighting, Osimhen will reject, and then they are going to end up sending him away again, there is no way Osimhen plays in the game, not for Napoli, not again, not when the president and conte is still there.

Napoli are really wanting to make this deal a tough one for Victor Osimehn because on their own side, they have nothing to lose and already made it clear that if Osimehn is with them next season, he will only get to train with the junior team and not the main team, the audacity of them indeed in this situation. I am hearing rumors that PSG are interested in Osimehn and I’m sure they will pay in full and not in clauses as Galatasaray wanted for him. It looks like he’s going to come back to play in the top five leagues if this deal goes through and the rumors about their interest in him is actually true. They need a clinical striker and in my opinion, Osimehn is the right person for that position and will be of great advantage to them adding him to their squad
