⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Dewi Aries]

Signed for 75m Euro by Napoli and now with price tag of more than 150m Euro, it's okay to see from Napoli's perspective. Yes they want to scare away few clubs for proceeding for Osimhen but I would say they also want to make a huge profit out of this. Napoli knows what kind of gem he is and it is a great opportunity for them to make around 100m Euro profit out of his transfer (if happens). It might kinda bite off them in the ass in the end if Osimhen comes with a feeling that by staying at Napoli, he is losing opportunities for even more bigger clubs. In that scenarios, Osimhen might reject contract extensions and might go for free.

As of now current scenario is that Osimhen will stay [as said by Napoli president] so I think Napoli has the leash of the situation, might change in few years though.

You're right , basically Napoli still needs Osimhen to secure the next title in Serie A and champions league but Napoli could just let him go if they get a good offer and in fact there is no club that wants to pay 150 million except for PSG , unfortunately Osimhen doesn't want to return to League1. By the way , at the moment Osimhen is the most expensive player in Serie A by market value , estimates will continue to grow if next season he still holds the title of top scorer.

don't see Kane moving to Bayern happening; didn't he recently buy a new property in London? And he has stated that he would stay in London for the sake of his family, with Chelsea being his only possible destination given that his new home is close to Coham. However, Bayern Munich are the only serious link at the moment, with two bids already turned down, and Tottenham are ready to tie him down to 500k per week, but the question is whether Kane will choose money over winning trophies. He's nearly 30 years old, and this may be his final chance.

The deal is difficult, and Daniel Lavy is not an easy man to work with.

He's not an ambitious player so I won't surprised if he ends his career without trophies

Harry Kane is one of the most prolific striker in the world. I don't know what's on his mind, but I would really like to see him leave Tottenham Hotspur for a better club if he truly wants to win trophy. It would be really bad that after his career he could not win a single trophy. Among all the clubs in need of a striker, Bayern Munich has registered a strong interest to have his signature. Daniel Levy is just being too greedy with his crazy £100M price tag for a 30 years old with less than a year on his contract. The £70M offer from Bayern is a good deal and he should accept it or risk losing him as a free agent.

Gianluca Scamacca doesn't seem to have adapted to English football very well. As he was going to join West Ham from Sassuolo he must have accepted the deal for a new adventure. Otherwise if he was playing for one of the biggest Italian teams I don't think we would have seen him in the English Premier League playing for an average team like West Ham.

Scamacca is a really talented striker and it looks like he gives green light to return there later. I have read that he is willing to join Roma as Jose Mourinho is someone who he would really like to work with. But there are quite many strikers in the team now. Therefore I don't know if Roma would like to sign him now unless they open a space.

[gabbie2010]

If Victor Osimhen leaves Napoli there will be many clubs who want him, it's just that currently Napoli is making it too difficult for Victor Osimhen not to leave Napoli because he is really needed as the best striker that Napoli has.
Unless Napoli get a new player who has almost the same talent as Victor Osimhen, surely Napoli will openly give a selling price in the transfer market.
I also think that Napoli will still be successful with Victor Osimhen in the next few seasons.

I think it's very natural that Napoli still want to keep players like Victor Osimhen, because apart from Victor Osimhen who has shown very good achievements at Napoli. The Napoli team also won Serie A last season with the cooperation of the players which included Victor Osimhen, so it's only natural that Napoli still want to keep this player. Because every team really needs great players on the front lines so that the team can become stronger in every season.

The price tag placed on Victor Osimen by Napoli worth €200 m by the club president Link I think PSG president purposely placed an outrageous huge sign-on fee on Osimen to discourage potential buyers, it was reported that PSG is showing interest in Victor Osimen probably to replace Mbappe hopefully if he decided to leave PSG for Real Madrid, however his sign-on fee is very expensive which could possibly be the highest in the history of football, however no any club wanted to pay more than €100m though the two clubs can reach an agreement to sort out the contract issues subject to Mbappe departure to Madrid.

[borovichok]

I do not think that he is a worthy player to be chased after like this much, I am not saying that he is bad, all I am saying is that Chelsea and Newcastle running after him trying to bid for him and all that looks to be a bit different situation then I am used to. In the end if they really like him then they can get him and there is nothing wrong with that. Do not exceed what would be acceptable though, that would be a stupid move and I think shouldn't be done.

These teams need a lot bigger names to have success, and I do not mean just talent, I mean like experience and name at the same time as well. They are at the highest level of football, and without having those huge names, it's not going to be good enough for them.

It's enough with the signings, let the blues bring in experience top players. He's an average player who should be flattered that elite clubs are interested in signing him. Jurgen Klopp would love for him to come over because Mohammed Salah is going to match him smoothly. Chelsea should part out from the race, afterall the player in question is yet to explore, I think the blues have made enough signings this season, it's time for them to start bringing in the big names. Todd Boehly has accomplished a tremendous job with the club; let us hope he stays with the club.

If Harry Kane completes a move to Bayern Munich, in his first season there, he has a greater chance of winning the Bundesliga with them and having one trophy first than if he moves to Manchester United where their chances of winning the next premier league season is not sure. Even in the champions league, Bayern has better chances of getting further into the competition than Manchester United does. But things can still happen the other way in Germany, as it did for Sadio Mane, maybe Harry Kane will not be comfortable there since he has stayed in England for a very long time.

If you see an opportunity to win the title, then Bayern Munich has far more chances than Man United, because Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga is still quite strong even though they suffered setbacks last season. Man United have just rebuilt their squad last season since Erik Ten Hak came there and it takes one to three seasons to achieve the ability to dominate the league, so for Harry Kane it is more likely to win the Bundesliga title than the Premier League.

Regarding whether or not Harry Kane is comfortable cannot be seen from Sadio Mane himself because many players have been able to adapt quickly to the club. If Harry Kane moves to Bayern Munich I'm sure he will end his trophy drought, compared to joining Man United, because speaking of opportunities for Bayer Munich is much bigger and they are still quite dominant in the Bundesliga.

[MinoRaiola]

Al-Hilal has got the next topstar. It is Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and he comes from Italy from Lazio Rome for a transfer fee of 40 million euros. After the players Ruben Neves and Kalidou Koulibaly he is player number three and total a transfer fee 118 million euros. And there is another top star as a rumor: Sergio Ramos. Currently he is without a club and Inter Mimi is also interested.

Kane is determined to become a Bayern player, he even says that he believes that he can win the Champions League with Bayern and Tuchel, and this is understandable, Kane has practically no prospects for doing this with Tottenham. Bayern need to understand at what price Tottenham are ready to let Kane go, but Bayern is not the team that will immediately offer big money, they will try to increase their offer to an acceptable value, but I doubt that they will offer Tottenham much more than 100 million.

I think it is probably not going to be the best idea for the player to join Roma right now. Because there are other strikers who are probably far better compared to him. So it is going to mean that he will have to get less play time. He is only 24 years old. He has a lot of time ahead of him. He should choose wisely where he wants to go. Because that is going to be very important for him. Right now if he goes to a team that is not going to give him a lot of playtime, his career might be in trouble. If Roma is considering selling a striker, I think he might join. But otherwise, it is not going to be a good idea for him.

Since it is becoming more clear everyday that Tottenham may soon loose their top striker, the teams is already ensuring that they have a replacement ready by the time a deal is reached for Harry Kane just in case players that Richarlison are unable to step to the responsibility. Some players that will be on the shortlist as replacement for Harry kane are; Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus, Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt, Jonathan David for Lille, Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa. they are all good replacements, but Watkins has better experience in the premier league, that s an advantage for him.

24 is the time to take some risk. I would understand what you said when he was 18 or 19, but at 24, for how long should he wait until he takes some risk? This is the right time to go for it and even if it ends in a setback, then his age comes into play and he knows that he will get another chance with 25 or 26, but now letting go a chance without even trying doesn't sound like a good plan to me. Roma is not Real Madrid and I think it is the right club to make progress as a player.

Yeah, now it's time for him to move on, because next year when he turns 31, it might happen that almost no club will be interested in him, so he might just get his career ruined, that's all.... Although maybe he's too loyal to his club and doesn't think about trophies, I don't know....... But I agree with you that it would be a real shame to be left without trophies, being such a good player.

By the way , at the moment Osimhen is the most expensive player in Serie A by market value , estimates will continue to grow if next season he still holds the title of top scorer.

If I own Napoli, I will not sell him either because it is just like training a to become Champion and decide to discard him to the enemy that will use him against you. They clearly have Champions League to fight and they still need him to achieve more Seria A title, so I don't see him goin anywhere, I hope he doesn't fuck up and disappoind the club the second year because Seria A are known to hate a player when he doesn't meet their expectation, Lukaku is an example.

on a serious note, Osimhen deserves whatever Napoli is doing to other clubs that want to sign him, been long they had good stricker like this and when he is absent in a game, it use to affect them, I am very certain that he will remain in Napoli for now till have another guy that is good as Osimhen.

Age isn't a risk in that regard, but a fact and you are right that 31 sounds quite different than 30 even though it is so close, but 30 sounds like a tipping point anyway and every year after that definitely makes his value decline but also his personal position in negotiations about the salary. He could still wait until next year, but if he wants to achieve the maximum for his career then now is the time. Also, he is totally healthy right now. What happens if he decides to wait one more year and he is without luck and injures himself like tearing some ligament in his knee. That should also be included in any considerations. Nobody would pay him the salary that he could get now if he makes the decision to leave and Tottenham agrees.

[Slow death]

The only thing I see here is the fact that Napoli is simply propping up the price for Oshimen because they don't want to lose their talisman. They know that if they set the price high enough, even the biggest clubs in the world won't not make any attempt to sign him. Oshimen is a quality striker and Napoli knows this. Losing him now would be a set back for the team. We're talking about a team that started to see some success recently, so it's only right that they keep up with that streak. I don't see Oshimen signing for any club in this transfer market.

Any clubs interested should just wait till his contract expires then, they can get him for a fair price.

I too see it like that. Napoli isn’t ready to let go of Oshimen just yet and therefore have put up a really high amount on him knowing very few clubs if any would bid. The lad has performed superbly for his club and helped his club bag their league(serie A) trophy. They obviously don’t want to let go of their goal scorer.
But I think they’re still open for discussions if any club takes them up on their proposal. But the likelihood of that is pretty slim. I too don’t see Oshimen signing up for any club as he would most likely still be wearing a Napoli jersey next season.

I had already commented on something similar but I will repeat myself again, teams know perfectly well that just because a team and a player won or were better in a certain season does not mean that the following season they will be better again, by that I mean that the Oshimen is probably not being sought after by many teams due to the fact that many teams are still afraid if what he sees was a performance thanks to luck or he will repeat the same or almost the same performance this season, so the teams are watching the Oshimen this season

and if Oshimen has a good performance like last season or at least a performance very close to what he had last season then I have no doubt that many teams will want him, but the problem with that is that it is a problem for napooli is that, this season napoli will have another coach and things will change, so napoli will hardly be successful and consequently oshimen will not be successful either, i believe that napoli's management got too greedy for having won serie a that they forgot that it won't be constant and forever and they will regret having priced too high for Oshimen

[harapan]

These teams need a lot bigger names to have success, and I do not mean just talent, I mean like experience and name at the same time as well. They are at the highest level of football, and without having those huge names, it's not going to be good enough for them.

I can understand if Newcastle wants to add young talent to their squad,  but Chelsea?  Chelsea already has a lot of young talent,  a lot of players with potential in their squad.  A team shouldn't have that much young talent in their squad and still looking for more.  Team's need a blend of young talent and experience. 
The risk is signing a lot of young players is that it is almost certain that not all of them will leave up to their potential and that would be a wasted investment.  There are situations where experience is needed,  like in the bug stages of the champions league.

By the way , at the moment Osimhen is the most expensive player in Serie A by market value , estimates will continue to grow if next season he still holds the title of top scorer.

The problem is that winning the Scudetto twice in a row will obviously not be easy because when looking at the last few seasons, the Scudetto title has always moved and no one can really secure 2 consecutive seasons for the last few seasons.
Likewise this time, Napoli still seems to have a gap to do that especially if Osimhen finally stays but of course things like this will not be easy with a new coach.
At the moment even if it does maintain their form last season except for Kim who left it is still very good but on the other hand, the chemistry of coaches and players is also important because there can be some setbacks when the coach is different including for Osimhen's performance.

While some of what you say may be true, I still believe a key factor on why a lot of clubs aren’t after him is they simply can’t afford to cough out that amount. They may as well be watching and checking out his performance. I also know that a player could have a good spell in a current season and a very bad one the next.
You can’t deny that Oshimen is a talented player and under a coach that knows his onions, he would only get better and better. I believe he would be consistent in his performance next season.

You mentioned Napoli having a new coach would bring about change that would make the club unsuccessful and consequently, Oshimen won’t be successful either. Have you thought about the possibility of the new coach bringing about positive change that would make the club go on to win more league trophies thereby making Oshimen more successful and wanted that he already is?

PSG will probably do a bid this week for Vlahovic.

This means Mbappè will probably be sold to Real Madrid too.

Juventus is expecting 70-80m for him

[Nheer]

Victor Osimhen is one of the top strikers in Europe just behind Haaland, he isn't the best. He hasn't proven himself in the top league and in different clubs therefore he can't be ahead of Haaland. Haaland has proven himself at different league and different clubs and they have all been the incredible display form.

Victor Osimehn is unquestionably a brilliant player, and his ascent to the position of one of Europe's top players while representing Lille and Napoli is evidence of both his talent and potential. I don't believe he will struggle to succeed in high leagues as you indicated because the Italian league is one of the top five leagues in Europe and he conquered the league, though I can't say for sure until he proves himself. He undoubtedly lags behind Haaland, who has demonstrated his value. We all thought Haaland would struggle to fit in in the Premier League, but he surprised us all by scoring 36 goals in his debut season. It is safe to assume that Osimhen is on par with Haaland if he can succeed in the Premier League or La Liga, two of the toughest leagues in the world that many players find challenging to adjust to.

Him as a striker. Victor Osimhen needs to move form Napoli or his career will remain stagnant. He has down his highest for Napoli and we shouldn't being the champions league into the conversation because Napoli can't win it out when Manchester city are this in form and we have Real Madrid planning for the upcoming season.

Considering that bigger teams are interested in Osimehn, it would be better for him to leave Napoli right now. Osimehn should really consider his options carefully before making any decisions. Players who were in their finest form and resisted leaving when bigger teams wanted them have frequently ended up in ordinary teams after losing their form. Take the case of Tielemans with Leicester City as an example. Although there is more pressure when playing for larger clubs, Osimhen must do so if he wants to advance professionally and be rated as Haaland.

Victor Osimhen need to join a club side that can challenge for the champion league trophy and as it stands it's the premier league that will best suit him. He's a very young player and there'll be room for improvement in the future as he gets to play with more experience players.

He is a passionate, high-energy player who can fit in well in the Premier League, but if they still want him, I would prefer that he move to Madrid since his prospects of winning the Champions League there are higher than when he joins a Premier League team. The only team from the Premier League that is consistently competitive in the Champions League is Manchester City, and they already have Haaland and Alvarez on their team.  It is not ideal for a player who wants to win the Champions League to move to Chelsea or Manchester United.
