⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Is it just me, or the current market value of so many players is just ridiculously too high due to clubs like PSG that have over diluted the market with money. I am not saying that Victor Osimhen is not a high quality player, but when we get to a situation where just one club is able to afford Victor Osimhen or Mbappe and the rest are just watching on, then we are in for the rough times.

The Mbappe scenario is dicey; reports says Real Madrid will rather wait an extra year, get Mbappe on free transfer and give him a bumper sign on contract. On the other hand, with Juventus struggling with FFP; I believe selling Vlahovic to PSG for a huge fee will help them alleviate the burdens.

You make a fine argument, not gonna lie. However, it's important to note that Oshimen has had two successful seasons at Napoli. There's no telling whether they'd do well or not in the coming season since they'd be having a new coach (Napoli management know of this uncertainty) and they would really love to continue their good form for a longer period that's why they're doing all they can to keep Oshimen in the team if they set the price around say €90-100M. Oshimen would be in a top team but they propped it up just so it can not be met. Or if any club is bold enough to match their asking price, they would sure be getting a hefty fee for the services of Oshimen.  Either wsy, it's a win-win situation for Napoli.

I reckon he would see out the remainder of his country at Napoli

The first team to dilute the market may be Paris SG, but this year it is the Saudi Arabian league teams that have destroyed the market. They gave the footballers the money they would see in their dreams and many stars went towards that league. This has led star players who are currently in Europe to demand high contracts. Now, big transfers only happen every year.

With each passing season the transfer market gets more and more absurd.

Until recently, the best players and the biggest offers were concentrated only in the European market.
Even sponsors from the East invested in European football.

But teams like Al Nassr are rapidly changing that.
We have to observe, however, whether championships there will continue to attract media visibility, because if there is no sponsorship, the money does not circulate and these millionaire signings should soon decrease.

[Coyster]

The Mbappe scenario is dicey; reports says Real Madrid will rather wait an extra year, get Mbappe on free transfer and give him a bumper sign on contract.

Of course, who wouldn't want to get Mbappe for free; that's an absolute no-brainer, but PSG would definitely never let that to happen, and they have unequivocally said that to Mbappe, if he tries to be stubborn, then i can see a 'war' breaking out between Mbappe and PSG. Real Madrid are the winners here, they are sure Mbappe is coming to their club, now they have to wait to see how it all unfolds, either they buy him for a fair amount since PSG are trying to do away with him (if he doesn't extend his contract), or they just wait and take him for free, they are the winners here.

[CLS63]

Vlahovic would be a really good transfer if they are looking for completing the trio again with Mbappe and Neymar. However if he is a potential replacement for Mbappe then I don't feel like this would be the best move they can make. Because in that case I would expect them to spend a much higher sum to sign a player like Osimhen for example. He is technically one of the best striker options in the market now. Other than him they can go for Harry Kane by joining the race with Bayern Munich.

PSG are very rich in the end. They shouldn't refrain from paying a high sum to transfer a quality player in case they lose their most important player in the squad.

[Odohu]

PSG will probably do a bid this week for Vlahovic.

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

I don't see PSG selling Mbappè but on the other hand, I feel it is Mbappè that wants to go to Madrid.  Of a truth, PSG has all it takes to win the Champions league but it is obvious luck is rarely on their side; Mbappè desperately need to win that trophy and there is a better chance for him in Madrid than his present club.

It's unlikely to happen. PSG has been threatening him to be unplayed for this season. PSG will be putting him on the bench this season. That's why PSG is looking for a new striker. PSG still hopes mbappe leaves from the club.
Just because PSG is looking for a new striker and it doesn't mean mbappe will be moving to the real madrid. There's no talk between PSG and madrid.

I think that mbappe must accept it if he gonna be benched by the club instead of given chances to play next season. PSG is not having a lot of choice. Mbappe is still trying to stay even longer in the club no matter what kind of sanction will be given by PSG.

Madrid can't afford very big amounts of money to buy him before the club sells some players first.

[Leviathan.007]

The next player to join the Saudi teams will be from the premier league and he is a famous player.
Jordan Henderson is a 33y old player but he is under contract with Liverpool and has two years remaining from the contract he signed with Liverpool.
Since he is getting near to the end of his career maybe playing for Al Hilal is a good move for him.

Well, I don't know. If you look at this situation from the outside, Mbappe has already made a lot of efforts to leave Paris Saint Germain, consistently spoiling relations with the club's management, although it is clearly financially beneficial for the player himself to stay at the club for another season. Therefore, if Mbappe has a chance to leave for Real Madrid in a good way already in this transfer window, then I think that the player will take advantage of this opportunity with pleasure. I personally have no other explanation for Mbappe's latest demarches.

[Pokapoka124]

MU tries so hard to sell him but meguire is pretty much the same like lukaku from chelsea but he is willing to stay in manchester united till his contract gonna be expired. I remember that the magpies was trying to get him but meguire didn't wanna accept it as he was not agreed personally with newcastle. MU tries so hard to sell him caused by the money raised from selling gonna be used to buy another player. It's time for meguire to leave. The main problem since he wants stay and the transfer is not possible without him reaching personal agreement with the new club. It's caused by the main requirement will not be fulfilled.
Meguire will not be trusted by ten hag next year after so many mistakes being made during last year especially in the match against sevilla last season. He is consistently making blunder. De gea is out now.
There is only meguire in the club. I hope he will be leaving from MU asap. No place for him in the main squad. He must think about this to continue his career in the professional football.

I don’t think there is anything left for Harry Maguire at Manchester United. I can say both the manager, his team mates and the club supporters are fed up with his numerous errors and mistakes that have cost the team crucial points in past games. I think it is time to say goodbye and look for a different challenge elsewhere. It will be in his interest to accept a move away to get playing time and revive his career.

Al hilal has become a club that was failing so many times in recruiting the new talent. I can hope it will be good in that saudi club. Liverpool was rarely playing him as starting line up. I think that he still having a chance to keep playing in european league.
Henderson has not determine his choice regarding his future. It's likely he  gonna try to deny such rumor. Let's wait who club gonna try to compete with al hilal in recruiting him as new player.

[rendravolt]

Juventus is expecting 70-80m for him

I don't know if PSG will be a good place to continue his career in the future, but if Vlahovic is interested in being part of the PSG project starting next season, of course he will be happy to accept the offer. What is clear is that this amount of money is well worth it for Vlahovic and Juventus will be very happy to have additional funds to spend on several players this summer. After all, compared to Harry Kane, who cost too much, I think it was better to sign Vlahovic for that fee. Now PSG is indeed very careful to anticipate things that are not desirable and there is nothing wrong with adding striker options for now.
