⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[naira]

Neymar is set to undergo his medical examination in Paris within the next few hours, before finalizing a 2-season contract with Al-Hilal. This transfer is expected to bring in just under €100 million for PSG, including bonuses. Following his medical, Neymar is anticipated to make his way to Riyadh sometime this week. I'm not surprised by this transfer, since the rumors first emerged, I was already convinced that Neymar would move to the Arab league, as his high salary makes it impossible for European clubs to sign him.

Even though Neymar moved to an Arab club, I'm not sure if it's only for the salary or if there are no offers from other clubs. Neymar condition is injury-prone and playing in Arab will not have a big impact. I know Arab clubs are always trying to target Europe's top players this year, and if you look at Al Hillal composition, they actually have a pretty good squad. Neymar's arrival is only a matter of salary, and for matters of appearance there, of course, you won't expect much.

It seems to have become clear why Mancini left the Italian national team so suddenly. He was offered to coach the Saudi Arabian national team for 40 million euros a year and a 3-year contract.
https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Nazionale/14-08-2023/mancini-c-t-dell-arabia-i-dettagli-dell-offerta.shtml
The amount of course fantastic 120 million for 3 years and the Saudi clubs and the national team just revolutionized the soccer market this year.

Previously more than 100 million I think even coaches of European and world champions did not receive, and now you can earn hundreds of millions a year and support yourself for the rest of your life.

[GbitG]

Let's just be clear about one thing. Players signing for Saudi Arabia teams aren't going for real competition. They are just going there for money. Players like Ronaldo, Benzema and so on have also gone there for money that's all. Because these teams are offering unbelievable amount of money to players.

They don't have anything such as FFP rules that restricts expenditures. Therefore they can sign whoever they would like by spending whatever amount of money they would like. Neymar is going to be another world star transfer for these teams and no wonder they will pay a lot of money (maybe double or triple the money he earns now) for his salary.

Thus, it is right that Saudi Arabia (SPL) is not the competing league, and neither are the players going to the Saudi Pro League for competition. It is simple: how many players were moved, and now how many players are going to the SPL just because of money? including Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Kante, Mane, Henderson, Mahrez, Fabinho, Brozovic etc. In this group of players, no one has moved for legacy or competition; they just moved for money. Saudi Arabia's side tries to use big salaries to lure players from Europe's top five leagues (in England, Spain, Germany, Italy, and France). This greed for money attracted many players, and now Neymar is also taking an interest in the Saudi Pro League instead of playing in Europe. Neymar is not just taking an interest, despite the fact that he personally agrees with Saudi Club Al-Hilal. The Saudi League is offering players an unprecedented salary package to attract them. So everyone understands that money is just a key factor in these transfers.

Neymar is set to undergo his medical examination in Paris within the next few hours, before finalizing a 2-season contract with Al-Hilal. This transfer is expected to bring in just under €100 million for PSG, including bonuses. Following his medical, Neymar is anticipated to make his way to Riyadh sometime this week. I'm not surprised by this transfer, since the rumors first emerged, I was already convinced that Neymar would move to the Arab league, as his high salary makes it impossible for European clubs to sign him.

Neymar must be cashed in by his owner's club to maintain business stability. When Neymar went to Al Hilal for an outstanding transfer fee of €100m including bonuses, from a business perspective PSG had made a profit since Neymar joined from Barcelona.
I am also not surprised by this sale of Neymar, because PSG may know that Neymar still has a current market price of around €60.00m even though Neymar's highest transfer was €180.00m (Jan 24, 2018).

If they don't accept the bid proposal from Al Hilal, it is likely that next season Neymar's market price will continue to decline considering he is already 31 years old and Neymar is also prone to injury.

This is a good news to he Saudi Arabic pro league, Neymar present will add more value to the league. Neymar will is one of the best players in the world, he has good influence in the game,  he made the right choice for choosing to play in the Saudi Arabic pro league. this league is the fastest growing league in the world right now, they have really done well in the market. Hopefully the competition between AlHilal and Alnassr will be tough, Al HIlal has the highest squad with top players, follow by Alnassr.

I'm not surprised by this transfer, since the rumors first emerged, I was already convinced that Neymar would move to the Arab league, as his high salary makes it impossible for European clubs to sign him.

It's nice to see Neymar team up with the likes of  Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic at Al-Hilal, It obvious that a mouthwatering offer worth €100 million paid to PSG is too massive to be rejected by the club considering lack of game time of Neymar Jr due to injury in PSG and lives a lavish lifestyle in Paris, though he is a very skillful and talented player if fit, it's now obvious that all the Saudi Arabian bound European based players are after money even players who are not close to retirement like Neymar couldn't resist the juicy contract offered by Al-Hilal which I believe will be more than what he earns in PSG.

[rendravolt]

However joining Al-Hilal is the most realistic thing and there is no other option for him to stay at PSG or Europe. He doesn't need to work hard anymore because he has won all the competitions in Europe.

Football is a talent that can win you recognition from medals and also bring a lot of money. In a situation where you have won many medals in your career and looking forward you see that you may not be able to win that number of medals anymore, it is best to just settle for a good financial deal. For Neymar, it is really good for him because he will be offered a very good deal better than most European players that have already moved there. He has not yet won the world cup with Brazil, so he can prepare for it and focus on that while he plays in Saudi league where he will be without the pressure of playing in the champions league.

The latest news from Fabrizio Romano says that Neymar will undergo a medical test today before later being inaugurated as an official Al-Hilal player and even PSG also received a fantastic fee with the sale of Neymar, around 100 million euros, at least PSG's capital was spent on recruiting Neymar from Barcelona in 2017 then still has 50%. Maybe there is a point in Neymar trying to avoid competitions like the champions league because the competitive level is so high that he is afraid of injury and if he joins Al-Hilal on a 2 year contract then it will coincide with what he wants to defend Brazil for the last time on the world cup in 2026. So I think your opinion is quite reasonable.

After being linked with Inter this time Balogun is speculated with Tottenham now. Because as you know Tottenham have just lost Harry Kane to Bayern Munich so they are in need of a striker now. They have Son and Richarlison who can play in this position maybe but I don't know if any of them would perform the same as Kane.

Balogun doesn't guarantee anything either maybe but he can at least become a useful player there.

By the way he was quite a beneficial player for Reims last season by scoring 21 goals in 37 matches. This is pretty nice stats for a 22-year-old scorer.

I knew that after losing the Arab club championship cup to their arch rival Al-Hilal that they'll definitely get new signings that would help strengthen the club in preparation of the season against rivalry teams and that why they've decision to get Neymar though I feel  the money they offered is too much for an injury prone player that can play for 2months without sustaining and injury neymar is a skillful player and would want to play and entertaining kind of football and dribbles alot and that style of play attracts injury.
 I don't think at the moment most top European club would come for him due to his much injury spells  and he knew he won't get much praying time at PSG that's why he decided to seize the opportunity and move to where he could get playing time, also the kind of money he'll receive is enough to make him change his mind and decide to move to Al-Hilal.

So I think your opinion is quite reasonable.

I predicted earlier that Neymar would stay amidst the speculation over Mbappe future that has not found clarity so far. But the news from Fabrizio Romano could be coming true soon, Neymar will continue his football career in the SPL. I think for now no club is willing to bet on recruiting the Basil player, apart from the high price and salary, the factor of frequent injuries makes Neymar less interested.

Al Hilal came with a fantastic offer, PSG was saved in this transfer saga. At least they can cover some of their expenses when recruiting Neymar from Barcelona.

Al Hilal having seen that most of the top Saudi Arabian clubs has strengthened their teams by signing high profile European based players knows that they need to sign few more European big stars in other to competitive enough to face their opponents and signing Neymar will be a nice decision to achieve their aim.
Neymar would bring great quality to the Saudi club if his transfer is finalized. His only problem which has always plagued him is the constant injuries he does suffer but if he can find a way to solve that issue, he'll make a great signing for the Saudi club

[rendravolt]

Haven't heard about the news for a long time, now the former Arsenal and Liverpool player has joined Besiktas in the Turkish league for the next 3 years. After not being without a club since the end of June we can finally see where his future will take him. Chamberlain is a good player and maybe only Besiktas are willing to sign him. On the other hand, I also never heard of any offers from the Saudi league before considering that Henderson and Fabinho had already joined the Saudi league. Well, at least a pretty good decision was made by Chamberlain and he can at least participate in one of the European competitions whether it's the UCL or the European leagues later.

This news shouldn't be too surprising, Neymar is no longer needed by PSG especially since he is often absent due to injury. PSG benefited from selling Neymar to Al Hillal, then returning to the lenient Mbappe to accept a new offer from PSG. Maybe this was planned from the start, regardless of the final decision both parties have made peace with each other. It is possible that next season Mbappe will extend his contract or with a new version of the drama again. After Al Hillal lost to Al Nassr in the final maybe it's time for them to add a striker but it's a shame that Neymar choice will always have problems rather than playing a lot on the field.

How can you say that if PSG had made profit since he joined from barcelona. PSG bought neymar by activated his release clause, which was around €222m. PSG is now selling him to the far less compared to when the club bought him. Unlike mbappe which is still having stable value.
The market value can't be used as a benchmark in determining the price of a player. PSG was still at a big loss.

If they don't accept the bid proposal from Al Hilal, it is likely that next season Neymar's market price will continue to decline considering he is already 31 years old and Neymar is also prone to injury.

PSG already accepted it and we shall not worry about that. Neymar has been agreed with al hilal's offer. He will be doing medical test very soon. Neymar may able to recover from his injury as soon as possible.
PSG is now completing one of the most important step to sell him to the saudi club. A good move by PSG to replace him with dembele as a new winger. PSG needs to get more money caused by the club is in preparation reforming its club again.

The club needs to sign more players to strengthen its club. The rumor neymar comeback to the barcelona was fake rumor.

Neymar's injury is long enough if it happens then this is the right decision for PSG to sell Neymar to get a profit of €100M plus Mbappe will stay according to the expectations of the PSG team he wants.

Yes there could be a scenario behind it, we see they are not harmonious but with Neymar sold will Mbappe prosper there? But at least with Neymar's move there is a bit of a surprise that he will stay in Europe of course many are associated with Barcelona again, that effort has been overtaken by Al Hilal with an offer of so much money received by Neymar during his two year contract.

Now the Saudi Professional League is full of star players in it, Neymar is already a deal, I think there will be many other players who follow behind him.

I'm not surprised by this transfer, since the rumors first emerged, I was already convinced that Neymar would move to the Arab league, as his high salary makes it impossible for European clubs to sign him.

To be honest, I really admire Neymar as a great star player.  it would be a shame if in the end Neymar accepted an offer to play in the Saudi Pro League, even though in fact he still deserved to take part in the European League. but apparently, the player didn't have many choices so in the end he considered accepting an offer from Al Hilal.

Referring to the latest report from Fabrizio Romano, Neymar to Al Hilal. this document has been agreed upon by all parties involved, Neymar will travel to Saudi Arabia this week. referring to previous reports, it seems that Neymar was tempted by a big offer from Al Hilal. and I don't think, if in the end the player accepts the offer. even so, at least the competition in the Saudi Pro League will be even more exciting with several stars playing at different clubs. Al Hilal chose the right choice, to compete with other clubs and one of them was the rival, Al Nassr.

By bringing Neymar to King Fahd Sadium, the coach Jorge Jesus has several options than players who can play in various positions. that means, the coach can adapt his system to the needs of the team and the team that will be his opponent. not only can Malcom be played as a center forward, that Neymar also has the ability to do so. I hope he will continue to give his best performance even though he is no longer playing in the European league competition.

Neymar update



Neymar was just approving if he will be moving to the al hilal. Finally, al hilal's dream was coming true. I hope that he will accept al hilal's proposal as soon as possible.
Neymar is not an important player for PSG. He is injury prone. There's no need to defend him any more. Just exchange him with almost 200 millions of money still worthy. The market value doesn't matter in the player transfer.

This means that Neymar is only one step away from joining Al-Hilal and reportedly Al-Hilal has also ordered his medical test. It seems that Neymar's career is over in Europe and even if he wants to leave PSG, there should already be a team interested in bidding for him, but with his injury-prone condition, some of Europe's top teams don't want to sign him and will only harm the squad instead. However joining Al-Hilal is the most realistic thing and there is no other option for him to stay at PSG or Europe. He doesn't need to work hard anymore because he has won all the competitions in Europe.

It would be more agreeable if Neymar went to Al-Hilal than having to stay at Paris SG because on the one hand it is not only big salary but also he can be highly valued and can continue his career with an injury that has not fully healed and I think in SPL he will be able to get better.
I am not saying at Paris SG he doesn't have good place but indeed at Paris SG Neymar seems to be underestimated because of an injury that hasn't healed but in the SPL he will definitely be highly valued in every match.
It doesn't matter even if I have to fly to Saudi Arabia but there are still some successful european player and I have to be sure that Neymar will spend his retirement there.

[Jody.Drummer]

The latest news from Fabrizio Romano says that Neymar will undergo a medical test today before later being inaugurated as an official Al-Hilal player and even PSG also received a fantastic fee with the sale of Neymar, around 100 million euros, at least PSG's capital was spent on recruiting Neymar from Barcelona in 2017 then still has 50%. Maybe there is a point in Neymar trying to avoid competitions like the champions league because the competitive level is so high that he is afraid of injury and if he joins Al-Hilal on a 2 year contract then it will coincide with what he wants to defend Brazil for the last time on the world cup in 2026.

Well so far we have always been busy with rumors about Mbappe who until now has not found a bright spot regarding the final decision he will take, PSG looks exhausted with a deal with Mbappe, but this time PSG seems to have returned to smiling with the Al Hilal deal for Neymar. As we know Neymar is a quality player at PSG but well he cannot make a full contribution there because of the injury factor that is always in his nature. So this is a good deal that has been accepted by PSG because if you keep it too it is useless it will only waste money with high salaries for him. I heard that PSG has agreed with Al Hilal worth 160 million for the release of Neymar, this is very fantastic. Henceforth Neymar will be one of the mainstay players for Al Hilal, he will get an important position there and he will play with some other top European players who have already been there. But apart from that I hope he will be able to find out soon about what is best for him, I mean hopefully Neymar can prevent some possibilities that can make him injured again. Al Hilal have signed him for a fantastic price and I hope he can live up to his new manager's expectations.

It is undeniable that Neymar's quality has now greatly decreased after the series of injuries he has experienced, and last season Neymar did not make much contribution to the PSG team.
But I don't think that PSG will be able to keep Mbappe after being left by Neymar, precisely because Neymar's departure will make Mbappe immediately want to do the same thing because the team is not strong enough to compete strictly on the European stage.

This will make the Arab League even more popular, the power of money is indeed very terrible there, and this season it has been recorded that many top European top players have moved to the Arab league, I will not forget that this is one of them is the Ronaldo effect.

Arsenal are interested in a swap deal involving Barrela of Milan and Balogun of Arsenal,but according to reports, Milan quickly rejected an approach for their Star midfielder and do not want any swap deal,rather,they prefer Arsenal sell the Balogun for 30 million which Arsenal also rejected,valueing Balogun for about 50 million pounds.It is yet to be known whether Arsenal will still push for the Barrela deal or they will look for another alternative as Arteta is not yet satisfied with his current midfield depth,he still wants to add another quality midfielder that is young and experienced.However,if they can push for a deal for Kudus of Ajax or bid for Barrela and atleast secure one out of the two,they may have gotten a better squad.
