⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Leviathan.007]

No matter how ideal PSG's front line is, it cannot prove capable of winning the Champions League trophy because PSG always misses its midfield. What they have done is good enough, but it cannot be said to be perfect if they only focus on the front lines with the superstars. So if you really want to have that mentality in the UCL, solid players also need to be implemented on every front. Reflecting on the clubs that have beaten PSG, of course we can see from the midfield that was built to play solidly.

Messi sometimes has become answer for the problem that has been facing by PSG but it seems like that if it's not all of players have equal skill. I meant PSG must have a squad which all of players have equal skill to create the best clubs that may potentially to win UCL this season. Messi will be leaving from PSG soon and it's the time for PSG to get a new player to replace him soon. Since neymar was not playing again for PSG and the performance from PSG was not consistent.

PSG has been killing itself. PSG will be using money as a way to attract the new players to come in. It has been reported recently if PSG has been preparing 130 millions euro for osimhin which is very big amounts of money.
I think PSG needs to put more money for osimhen in this case. It's caused by osimhen is really valuable for napoli and he must be priced so high.

Today on saw on the news that Messi moved to his house in Barcelona and he got some of his stuff with him which can be the reason to say he is moving to Barcelona soon, I think he is going to give a huge discount to his team Barcelona about his salary otherwise they won't be able to pay him the salary he really needs, maybe that's how Messi ends his career.

Some things are putting it mildly, he took 15 suitcases with him, so settling there with all the goodies. Regarding the salary, I think the issue is solvable, if Barcelona allow La Liga to acquire him, a salary cut is out of the question and he will have a full season. The only question is whether he will finish his career next season. After all, Barcelona could be the last team for him

Latest rumor, Osimhen linked with PSG for next window transfer opening and seems has potential for this transfer happening because PSG has huge amount offering in transfer for this player. There is no clarity about Lionel Messi's contract extension will make Osimhen as first priority for PSG how to sign him from Napoli exactly has quit well performance after becoming Serie A top scorer awhile with 21 goals contribution. But has questionable about Ligue 1 is not really competitive league and if Osimhen will agree for joining PSG or looking other challenge with Primer League or La Liga team.

If there is no contract extension agreement between Lionel Messi and PSG then it is likely that PSG will continue to target Victor Osimhen to replace him but until now Messi has not signed any contract so he has the opportunity to leave PSG, so I don't know where Messi will end up again but other rumors Barcelona is a team that Messi could return to.

For Victor Osimhen I think not only PSG but Manchester United have also prepared a very high offer for his new striker, Erik Ten Hag is now starting to be interested in the Nigerian player, but on the other hand Napoli wants him to stay but it's back to Osimhen he will accept another offer by experiencing a new challenge between the Premier League or the French League.

I think that he should think twice before joining PSG as the Ligue 1 is a really boring league right now. Apart from that PSG need to reassure him with a good manager choice in this summer as well. Things won't go on well for PSG with Galtier as it is seen clearly now. The biggest name is Zidane of course but it is still doubtful if he would like to manage a team yet. He still seems to be closer to a job offer from France instead.

Napoli are a more successful team than PSG this season in the end. This should be a reason for Osimhen to think twice before joining PSG. If PSG reassure him with a good management as I said then he can choose them more comfortably. Otherwise he might have another disappointing season despite being among those amazing players.

If he thinks of choosing in the Premier League instead then Manchester United would really capture a solid chance.

Barcelona and Roberto Firmino have had a verbal agreement.
Firmino has agreed to join Barcelona for free at the end of his current contract at Liverpool. His contract ends this July.
Klopp would have likes Firmino to remain at Liverpool but Firmino is hell bent on moving on to another club.

Personally, I don't think this is good decision from Barcelona. There is no point having a 31 year old as the back up striker of a 34 year old. Firmino is in decline currently. Barcelona needs a young and promising striker to be the back up for Lewandoski not a declining striker.
 

He could able to make some important goals with Liverpool this season but indeed he lost his place in starting lineup because Klopp was more likely to playing other players such as Gakpo to his position in the team and in my opinion verbal agreement doesn't guarantee Firmino will choose Barcelona as his new club because some of big teams in europe still interested to him

But if this rumour is true i think Barcelona has clever moved with signs him because with firmino quality he still able to performing well besides that Barcelona will get him for free and although Firmino isn't categorized as young player anymore but with his current age i think Firmino still capable to playing at high level of competitions such as Laliga

Regarding Firmino, I couldn't agree with you more. He's a fantastic player, but it appears that Klopp wasn't giving him the starting role that he deserved. Even though Gakpo may be a better option for the squad, Firmino shouldn't be permanently demoted from his starting role.

I also think it was a smart decision on Barcelona's behalf to sign him. What do you mean, you got him for free? What a bargain! Furthermore, Firmino still has a great deal to contribute in terms of his abilities and experience. He's past his prime as a young athlete, but that doesn't mean he can't still perform admirably. Perhaps he can make an impression at Barcelona and gain a starting spot.

Osimhen is top class, money talks though and PSG have lots of it. They will offer big wages, I know the French league isn’t too competitive but PSG have as much chance as any team each season of winning the CL. I wouldn’t say it’s not ambitious if he goes to PSG.

After courting Rashford and failing, it looks like PSG will expect a lot from Osimhen this time, but in the current conditions I think it's also difficult.
Osimhen is one of the most targeted players by many big clubs at the moment. Even if the chances are they can still at the moment but I think it will be quite difficult for them especially when their players are still the same as now with Neymar, Messi and Mbappe up front.
There must be at least some condition where they are more than the current offer.

[coinlocket$]

This might not be possible currently since those points have been reversed
Juventus now are in a good spot
The points addition hinders Ac Milan, Inter Milan but no As Roma on the league table
Zidane maybe will end up next season with Juventus

Points will probably be removed again according to what they said when they were removed in the illegal process.

Saturday's transfer gossip:
Will Manchester City finally get a football player from Croatia? In the last 12-13 years, no club without a Croatian footballer managed to win the Champions League. Did Pep realize that he cannot win the Champions League without a Croatian footballer?  
Real Madrid's Croatia midfielder Luka Modric, 37, has received a contract offer from a Saudi Arabian club that would double his wages next season. I believe that Modric still wants to finish his football career in Real.

Would signing Victor Oshime win them the Champions League?! I really doubt, and I'll take this news as fully speculated news... Mm..Mmm and for Chelsea, making Pochetino the top choice wouldn't give them shit, they are yet to face the real trauma.

Bobby ( Firmino ) joining Barcelona? That would be lovely, he would thrive in that squad, he'll partner Robert Lewandoski when it come to the league and Champions League next season, I love the squad Xavi Hernandez is shaping.
Kovacic to Chelsea to Bayern Munich? I don't really know, but not Manchester City, Chelsea are not even ready to loose him to City, could Bayern Munich. Luka Modric will have contract extension with Real Madrid soon.

Sunday's transfer gossip:

Manchester United are stepping up their interest in Victor Osimhen after sending scouts to watch the 24-year-old Nigeria striker play for Napoli in the Champions League last week. So, many clubs want this player, and what will he decide in the end? Paris or Manchester? Or some other destination?
Julian Nagelsmann, who pulled out of the running to be Blues boss last week, is interested in joining Tottenham. Nagelsmann seems to have more faith in the Tottenham project than in what Chelsea is offering him, a club that is currently in chaos.
Paris St-Germain will let Argentina forward Lionel Messi, 35, leave on a free transfer when his contract expires this summer as the club plans a more sustainable future with fewer star names and a greater emphasis on developing young talent. Is PSG really changing their strategy and giving up on bringing big football stars? What does this mean for Messi? Back to Barcelona?
Chelsea's 32-year-old France midfielder N'Golo Kante and 33-year-old Gabon striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are summer targets for Barcelona.
At least 10 Chelsea players are considering their futures at the club after their Champions League defeat by Real Madrid last week ended any hopes of silverware and European football next season. A lot of football players are about to leave Chelsea, who will come?

Victor Osimhen will be a very good addition if he joins Manchester United. I have taken some moments to picture Victor Osimhen leading the attacking lines for Manchester United next season and to be honest it looks scary. The problem is if they can get a deal for Victor Osimhen done in the summer, Osimhen looks happy at Napoli, it’s unclear if he would want to leave at this time.

[coinlocket$]

About Osimhen, we got rumors the past winter.

He already could have a deal to join the Premier League with Chelsea, also the coach of Napoli was talking about to joining them...

We will see.

[KTChampions]

For all the wretchedness of PSG management, the Mbappe + Osimhen pairing will be really scary. With 99% of Messi leaving the team and it can be assumed that PSG will buy a productive midfielder who does not just walk, I begin to fear that this money bag will still become competitive in the Champions League. I will hope that Osimhen is ambitious and does not go to PSG.

I really think if Osimhen does end up going to PSG he will certainly have some problems with Mbappe. Just a feeling. Personally, I do believe that he should go to other links.

I heard that New Castle United was looking for him. That choice seems to be really great compared to PSG right now. He could go to any big club right now.
He should not be choosing PSG. Because then he will be choosing only money. At this stage of his career, he should be more ambitious and not just go for money.

I completely agree - PSG is a swamp in which you can only go for the sake of money (early retirement). For young ambitious players, this is not an acceptable choice. It is enough to look at what happened to Neymar, Mbappe himself and others to understand that you should not go there. Even Messi lost a lot of his image during his adventures at PSG. But who knows what Osimhen is thinking. I didn't follow his interview so I can't speculate about what he'll choose.

[jakdanyel]

There are rumours regarding Neymar to be sold in this summer as well. There were already such claims before too but nothing happened later on. But it was in the middle of the season of course. Now in the summer we never know what he would decide to do for his future. I think he might wait for Messi's final decision to make his own decision as well. Because they are still a great duo and maybe Neymar would like to continue to play with him.

If Neymar and Messi both leave then Mbappe will be alone at PSG. I think it wouldn't be good at all to lose a trio like this. In that case PSG will need to work on building a new trio in the attacking line. At this point Osimhen or Kane might be a good starting point for them but we will see. Osimhen would demand a guarantee to be a regular in the starting eleven for sure. PSG need to be ready for that and we would see the same thing from Kane as well.

PSG is already rumored to be selling Messi and Neymar this summer. and of course, they don't want to lose their sharp front line for next season. looking for several names of players who are in the transfer market this summer will be carried out by PSG. it is even rumored that they will change their coach after being eliminated from the Champions League.
if it happens, PSG will experience many changes in the next season. regarding Osimhen, there were rumors he would not be leaving the team. so PSG also has to look for some other alternatives.

People keep tagging Lionel Messi as one of the cause of the problems PSG are facing but I think that is wrong and not a fair judgement on the player's side. I feel the team is lacking something that could be instrumental to their ability to win the Champions league trophy and until they figure that out I think it isn't right to apportion blames on specific players who are giving their best for the team.

It seems there are some conditions where PSG and Messi are quite stretched now.
Apart from the fact that there is a contract extension with a salary cut, PSG is also minimizing the financial fairplay rules from UEFA.
Currently, it is reported that Messi is returning to Spain with his family and lots of luggage, although the purpose is not explained, but this clearly indicates something that is currently being discussed with him returning to Barcelona.

As you might remember there were news linking Neymar with Chelsea in the latest transfer window. Now I started to see these news once again. Of course there might be some truth in this as well but we will see. Neymar is a really great player normally. His contribution to the team in the games he played so far in the season has been really mesmerizing.

However he is still an injury-prone player which is a big problem for PSG. I wouldn't expect them to think of parting ways with him but after seeing him getting injured by not a long break I think this can really be Neymar's last season with them.

I feel the team is lacking something that could be instrumental to their ability to win the Champions league trophy and until they figure that out I think it isn't right to apportion blames on specific players who are giving their best for the team.

PSG has the best position, and they are lucky because they have Lionel Messi as one of their big strengths. Therefore,  when there are problems, usually Lionel Messi will be included because maybe there are also many who don't like Lionel Messi's game and try to make his enthusiasm at PSG collapse by receiving a lot of pressure like that.

[shogun47]

Paris is and has never been a potential destination for Erling Haaland and he has said that publicly, or at least implied it. He said for him it is either the Premier League, La Liga or the Bundesliga. He never spoke about PSG being on his list. 133 million Pounds for Osimhen usually sounds more than right, we just have the problem that the market is spoiled with transfer fees like that for Neymar back in the days. 133 million Pounds is about 150 million Euro. I guess there would also be bonuses dependent on success so selling him will end in a great deal for Napoli. The problem is that you can't replace him.

Chances are this is only an initial offer but it is as you say, in this case it is unlikely he will leave and Napoli let him go for that price.
Even though sometimes no one knows what will happen in the future, the price is fairly minimal with Osimhen's current performance.
On the other hand, other teams are still expecting him, of course they will prioritize if the price is like that.

On the other hand, actually to see the probability of this, I still feel that Osimhen will consider it, but whether or not this will happen, I am still very doubtful about it.

Napoli still has the upper hand in the negotiations as they signed him until 2025. Unless he starts some wild boycott as we have seen with other players, Napoli does have a chance to keep him for another season without risking to lose a lot of money. Unless he stops performing of course, that would harm the price accordingly, but I don't expect that to happen. As has been said here, Osimhen is the gem of the upcoming transfer window and it is never easy to be bidding for a gem because all the big clubs with the deepest pockets are ready to throw their bid in as well. It is very likely that we will either see him in Madrid or more likely in the Premier League. He won't go to France and I also doubt that Bayern Munich has a chance to sign him. They could urgently need him, but Osimhen can ask almost any salary and Bayern won't do that.

Therefore,  when there are problems, usually Lionel Messi will be included because maybe there are also many who don't like Lionel Messi's game and try to make his enthusiasm at PSG collapse by receiving a lot of pressure like that.

Of course, the PSG fans think Messi isn't giving enough/his best for the club like he does when he is on International duty with Argentina, or when he played for Barcelona, and imo i think the fans are well within their rights to think that way. When they signed Messi there was quite a lot of optimism around the club, the fans thought he was the final piece of the puzzle that could finally deliver the CL for them, but two consecutive seasons now and they've been eliminated in the RO16 stage.

Having said that, i don't think it was a good idea for the fans to boo Messi a couple of weeks ago anyway, that's not the best way to show their frustration, thus i think the Argentine world champion is going to leave PSG this summer, he does not feel loved over there and so it is better for both parties if he goes. Anyway PSG's problem isn't with a single player, it is with the entire team.

Paris Saint Germans are much like the player's of Tottenham Hotspur when it comes to the average midfielder's and average defending player's. How can they be expectant of a bunch when both Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr are the players doing most of the creative duties for Psg. It's a joint effort, besides the midfielder's are to link the defenders and attackers but we hardly see that especially in big champions league nights.

It's obvious he'll leave because if he had wanted to stay further, that contract would have been signed a very long time, Lionel Messi hardly signs contract extension at the start of a new season.
