⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Real Madrid also seem to be one of the interested teams for the signing of Victor Osimhen. This is something new for me as they haven't shown such interest in him so far. I know that they had big plans last summer such as bringing Mbappe and Haaland which were both forwards. It looks like they are still in search of a solid centre-forward.

After Benzema's injury things have started to be worrying for Real Madrid recently. They made simple point losses in the La Liga against small teams. However I wonder whether they are planning to let Benzema go at the end of the season. Because if they sign Osimhen they will have three forwards including Benzema and Rodrygo. I assume Rodrygo would stay as he is a young talent. But on the other hand, Benzema wants to retire here and I don't expect Real Madrid to sell him to be honest.

I think they dont need him plus it would be a waste of huge money. They already got Benzema that can play at top level for at least 2-3 years more. They should get a secondary striker but not to waste a huge amount on someone like Osimhen. He is an incredible striker but costs probobly really a lot and certainly wants a lot of playing time

Manchester united needs new players especially the frontlines because it's not constant. Victor Osimhen been on united rader is probably one of the big transfer that will happen in the January transfer. Ronaldo is old and is no longer active as before, rather he misses big goal scoring chances. United needs young players that will also put their names in the history books. More time for Erik ten hag to look for Ronaldo replacement.

Although relatively old, Manchester United can still take advantage of Cristiano Ronaldo's abilities for the next one to two seasons based on a contract agreement. And recently Cristiano has start to be actively selected to play after previously spending more time on the bench. Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford fully prepared as alternative strikers
A new striker might be considered next season or towards the end of Cristiano's contract

Manchester United can count on Ronaldo for this season in reaching their target of finishing in the top 4. Ronaldo is still quite physically strong but he seems to have difficulty finding his good form this season where in the 10 matches he has played this season ronaldo able contribute one goal of course this is a big decline in his goal productivity because last season ronaldo was the top scorer in the team manchester united. Now the news that he will leave in the January window will get a big question mark because with a large enough salary it will be difficult for other teams to get Ronaldo signature.

I think as long as Cristiano Ronaldo does not have any problems today in Manchester United, and as long as the Manchester United coach does not have any problems with Cristiano Ronaldo both of them can work well with each other.

But even though I am hearing that situation of Cristiano Ronaldo in Manchester United is improving. I do not feel that Manchester United actually believes in Cristiano Ronaldo. Even though they are trying to show that everything is just fine right now, I think Manchester United is actually trying to look for a substitute player for him. We trust Cristiano Ronaldo to be a good striker for Manchester United now, but in my opinion, Manchester United think otherwise.

[uchegod-21]

Ronaldo transfer rumours trending every where but the right move haven't been done yet. Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the top high profile players currently in manchester united, Erik ten hag should let him go to the team he pleases rather than keeping him on the bench. But we all know the basic problem of Ronaldo which is to play for a UEFEA team rather than Europa. He's aging and top teams would rather go young promising players than the Portugal international.

Isn't he playing in Europa right now? I also felt the same but seeing him play now I think he is ok with it now. Yeah he has high standards given his stature but I think he keeps helping United above all that but he can't if he doesn't get chances. Ten Haag still finds he can use him and I also think he can turn out to be a game changer in latter part of the season for United. I am sure that Ronaldo will not leave this transfer window. Maybe in next season but this seasonI think he is gonna stay at United.

The rumours of Ronaldo leaving Manchester United is not on the rise anymore, every other rumour circulating the media is by journalist to make money. Ronaldo is no longer under pressure to leave Manchester United because he has started seeing playing time. The misunderstanding between him and the coach is settled we should expect a good football from Ronaldo by next season. The only club that may buy Ronaldo is Chelsea because they are very much interested in him.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

I am obviously not underestimating Chelsea at all in this race. They can obviously bring this player in. But with the kind of form that the player is in right now I think the competition is going to be really high. And obviously, it is going to matter about the player if he wants to play in the Europa League or in the Champions League. I think that is something which might take this player toward Chelsea.

As I have said earlier, if Victor Osimhen was willing to leave the club and Chelsea are interested in signing him, he'll definitely choice Chelsea ahead of any premier league clubs. Nigeria players are known to do well in the Blue colour of recent and they'll definitely advice him to go play for Chelsea. We also have lots of Chelsea fans over here that are genuine fans of the club and not fan boys like with a particular player as we have with man United that many of their fans are just Ronaldo fans over here. And secondly just as you have stated, Manchester united are playing in the Europa which Osimhen won't want a part of at the moment as every player want to shine at the champions league stages.

RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku is ‘about to move to Chelsea’, with the transfer already ‘prepared’ and only an announcement missing.

Saw this news earlier, seems we're getting closer to seeing Christopher Nkunku play for Chelsea and maybe the deal will be done in the January transfer window. I can't wait for this deal to actually go through as we're deeply in need of actual footballers and not the unserious pensioners we have at Chelsea contributing zero efforts to the team which reflect on the manager looking clueless.

They should get a secondary striker but not to waste a huge amount on someone like Osimhen. He is an incredible striker but costs probobly really a lot and certainly wants a lot of playing time

However, Benzema is currently injured and has not been able to fully contribute this season so they are considering buying a substitute who can temporarily replace Benzema when he is unable to play full time. When they manage to get a player with specifications with skills like Benzema will strengthen the position of the attacker.

Buying a sticker like Victor Osimhen would be a very good idea if Real Madrid can afford it. Victor is still young hence he would have all the time to blend with the team's style of football. Real Madrid needs a long term quality striker and none of such stickers a cheap in the transfer market. Benzima might not have up to two years to keep playing football because it seems that he might keep experiencing injury challenges because of his age.

It is quite difficult to predict strikers that would perform well in Chelsea because they have had so many top class strikers that became super flops in that club. But Christopher Nkunku seems to be a perfect striker for that team due his strength and ruggedness in the attack. I hope he would join the list of great Chelsea strikers like Drogba and Anelka.

Seeing the performance from rodrygo and he has not yet become an ideal replacement for benzema. He's not as good as benzema in term to play in the attacking mode. The performance from rodrygo didn't mate ancellotti feel satisfied with him. that's why madrid has been announcing that if osimhen will be transferred from napoli to the real madrid when the transfer season will come soon. It's the time for real madrid to get a good replacement for benzema. Benzema might still play for madrid but madrid must have a good striker as a substitution for benzema when he got injured.
It seems like that osimhen would be agreed with the deal that will be offered by real madrid. I hope that osimhen will join with real madrid as soon as possible. A good player must join with king madrid.

Playing the striker role in the team is mostly difficult for strikers to adapt especially the ones that puts on the number nine Jersey. But Christophe nkunku is a promising player next year and he's coming to the team to offer his service and make solo contributions to the team. Chelsea always suffers each season because there's no active striker and the one that manage to be in the team won't end up scoring 15 goals in a season, rather it's from one injury to another.

He gets treatment from fans because of that he can not stand on MU. but if Ronaldo going is more patient and ripe, he could be a legend and retire on MU until he can't play football anymore. I've ever imagined him standing on MU as legends like another player like Giggs and Scholes and still continued contribution to the team even can't play as a player. But, if a move to other club can make the comfortable, I think we can't hold him.

There is no other European Competitive side ready to spend and pay such wages to Cristiano Ronaldo so it's best he remains at Manchester United until he finds out that his contract has come to completion. Talking about being a legend already he is a Man United legend you cannot deny the fact that he isn't. Chelsea are eyeing him all because of the Chelsea owner who wants him with Chelsea. But it will make better sense if they can just sign Oshime than Ronaldo

Why is Chelsea seriously talking about striker this time around. What was in their mind when they signed Aubameyang? Is he not meeting upto expectations or Chelsea don't like him.
It may also not be Nkunku. Chelsea scout should bring  their eyes down they will see goos and affordable striker during this world cup.
Anyway both Nkunku and Osimen will be good for Chelsea

They don't need to sign a striker with Benzema's exact specs; a striker with similar characteristics would suffice; each player has his own style of play and skill set. Oshimen, who is in top form and has all eyes on him, could be a better substitute for Benzema, but I don't see him getting enough playing time in Real Madrid unless Benzema is injured, which could hinder his competence in the long run. Benzema has reached the point in his career where they need to find a replacement as quickly as feasible.

Benzema is not an injury player, he is having this consistency problem because of world cup. It has been long he played in world cup and this might be his last. He doesn't want what happened to Mane to happen to him. After world cup Benzema will return to frequent playing of football and by then Osimen will no longer see playing time, which will be so bad for the career of the young man. He needs to go where he will play frequently.

No doubt now Real Madrid is going to have some buying in coming transfer window because suddenly things are not going good in their way, and they already lost their top spot which is now under control of rival Barcelona and their knock-out stage match is also against Liverpool which could be not easy for them so now who is their target it's not clear.

But, rumours are working as they are looking for Arsenal Jesus and Napoli's Osimhen now who is coming for cover of Benzema we have to wait for the better update but most chances they could be gone with Jesus as he is under radar of Ancelotti for long time, and they are already checking his performance but this all depends on Arsenal will they allow him for this transfer it's all not clear.

Rodrygo is a winger, after missing Benzema through injury, Don Carlo tried to play Hazard as a centre-forward. the results were not satisfactory, in the end Ancelotti tried to rotate Rodrygo into a center forward. so far the results have been satisfactory considering he is a winger, he has also contributed four goals for Madrid in La Liga. he is still relatively young, so I think he still needs time to explore the talent he has.

As for Victor Osimhen, so far he has been linked with several big clubs. Reportedly, Manchester United are interested in bringing him to Old Trafford in the transfer window later. Likewise with Chelsea, since the rumors of Aubameyang going to PSG, Potter has been eyeing Osimhe in the transfer window later.

Osimhen is a pure center forward, so it's no wonder that Real Madrid will also be after him. however, if he had to play as a second-tier player just to replace the vacancy due to Benzema's injury. it seems, he will choose a club from the Premier League if he will leave Napoli.

[izsara]

The problem is for Osimhen they have to be prepared to give around 100 million for this player clause.
On the other hand with the condition of some of their strikers now it is certain that if they want Osimhen someone must be let go whether it is Rashford or Ronaldo because it is clear their players are too piled up to include Osimhen in their plans.

Right now with his quality and performance in Napoli Osimhen is talk of soccer community and few big clubs are looking for him to be joined them which is possible after the end of this season because he is impressive and having quality to do things very good for big clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United but right now situation is clearly indicating he has good chance for joining Chelsea instead of Manchester United because they are already having their all targets and now if they needed then they will try to have Harry Kane instead of having Osimhen and Chelsea which is now having trouble with their form and new coach is also looking for few changes they can go through for this player and can bring him to Stamford Bridge without any big challenge.

Currently Chelsea are looking at at least two players from Napoli namely Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia but will this really be done because if I'm not mistaken the discussion with Nkunku is also still ongoing for Chelsea now so this is still a real rumor even though it is already on the target list.
But on the other hand, I personally am still quite convinced by the difficulty of bringing this player.
Napoli are currently in a good condition because of the performance of these two players, so they need to rethink if they want to let go of these two players.

Liverpool are ready to improve their team in the next January transfer window. Rumors currently circulating, Liverpool will try to bring in Enzo Fernandez from Benfica. Liverpool are not the only ones hoping for him. their rivals, City are also ready to face Liverpool for this player. Referring to Transfermarkt.com, Fernandez's current price is 35 million euros. However, Liverpool are ready to offer it at a price of 120 euros. With this very high offer, my question is, is it worth it and will this player be able to play according to Klopp's needs or will he just be a substitute on the bench?

[maju69]

Benzema has reached the point in his career where they need to find a replacement as quickly as feasible.

Yes I agree, they can sign a striker who has strong characteristics, each player has his own way of blending into the game and making a positive impact in attack. Young age is the right choice for them, because with young players it will be a long-term project and can benefit the team. Real Madrid has an attraction for players so the players who are being targeted will probably be very happy when they get an offer from them.

I don't even know if Chelsea might be interested in Ronaldo considering his age and wages, there were rumors that the new hierarchy at the club admires Ronaldo and wanted to sign him for Tuchel which he refused and that prolly had a part to play in him losing his job, right now i don't know if Todd Boehly is still interested, and if Graham Potter will want a player with a big personality and ego like Ronaldo.

Having said that, the January winter transfer window will answer all questions considering Ronaldo's future, i don't think he and Erik Ten Hag are getting along on a personal note, but it looks like they are on a professional note as Ronaldo is now getting a fair amount of game time and respect that his big personality demands. I'd love to see what happens after the WC, but i am pretty sure that in order to avoid any further altercation betwen the club and Ronaldo, he will be informed if he is part of their plans or not early enough, so he can leave if he is not happy with the plans for him.

Rumors of Cristiano Ronaldo's departure have now subsided, especially after his conflict with Erik Ten Hag slowly found a point where the two could understand each other, at least for now. And he has also started to get playing time, although not a regular player every game but that is better than at the start of the season Erik Ten Hag's minimal choice despite starting from the bench. Chelsea who flatly rejected Cristiano Ronaldo at that time were still managed by Thomas Tuchel, I haven't heard any comments from their new coach when it comes to the Portugal captain, so I personally still doubt whether he is interested or not with Cristiano Ronaldo.
