⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Ndabagi01]

Waking up to discover Eric Bailly's transfer to Besiktas finalised on Fabrizio Romano's Twitter account. Manchester United has released another player this season, this time a defender who has been unreliable and prone to injuries. Erik Ten Hag did not include him in his season initiatives, therefore the Red Devils provided him the green light to leave this summer. It's obviously awesome news for the Ivorian footballer who is leaving Old Trafford for a new team. As a result of the new boss's indifference, he will now get typical regular game time.

Bailly is an excellent defender, and I admire his football style and defensive approach. Injury was his worst rival, and his time at Manchester United did not yield fruit for him for a long time. He is already experienced and has superior football skills than the defenders from his new team, Besiktas. I'm confident he'll dominate the defence and get more playing time than he gets at Manchester United. I hope the injury doesn't keep him from getting adequate playing time at Besiktas in the future.

Ramos passed up the opportunity for a big salary for the club that has made his name as a professional footballer, he is estimated to earn around 2 million euros per year, the amount is 10x less than the offers he got in Saudi Arabia. However, Ramos can still play in the top flight with Sevilla, he can enjoy more challenging competition for the rest of his career. Perhaps he prefers the honor of being able to retire with his boyhood club over money.

When Ramos proclaiming to announce his retirement from football, I cherish his decision to play for his boycott team. Passing up a large salary offer for this team demonstrates how close and appreciable he is to them. This is what renowned players like him are expected to do. I hope that other great players like him return to their boycott teams when they are ready to retire from football. This also demonstrates that, despite his age, he is still ready to play competitive football. I wish him the best of luck in his new career.

Al-Ittihad has again made an offer for Mohamed Salah and this time the amount is so fantastic 251 million euros. Could it be that this time it will be quite difficult for Liverpool to refuse the offer from the Saudi league team? and I think maybe that kind of money could be put to good use to buy new players next winter according to the club's needs. Mohamed Salah is already 31 years old and Liverpool should start thinking about who will be his successor. But the problem is that if Mohamed Salah leaves at the start of this season it will clearly be a loss for Liverpool because they have not prepared a suitable replacement. Now Liverpool will definitely be very confused by this big offer and let's see what steps Liverpool take.

It is surely unbelievable that Al Ittihad wants to pay 251 million euros for Salah. Although he is a top player, he is no longer a young player and he may already pass his golden performance. Although he still contributed well for Liverpool now, we don't know what to happen with him in the next 1-2 years. He can drop his performance because he is getting old, and it is not impossible if he begins to have injured problem.

I assume Liverpool will consider to sell Salah if Al Ittihad wants to wait until the season is over. I doubt if Liverpool wants to sell Salah in this season. He still has a big role for Liverpool, it will be difficult to get his replacement. But for selling him in the end of the season, it is very possible because Liverpool has a lot of time to look for his replacement.

Now,  I think some of the Saudi clubs are over spending just to attract top players to their clubs, no doubts Salah ís a great player and currently in a good form but then he's not very younger and i think such figure is too much for a player in his 30's and if you're spending some top club's total transfer budget on one player then he should be able to score in every match and deliver the league trophy to them, if not it's not worth it, because that amount is enough to get about five or more  younger talented  players from South America and across Europe.
 Before the transfer windows was over for European leagues, Liverpool manager Kloop said that Salah is happy where he is and a move won't happen this summer, though the money is tempting but i believe Salah is a very important player for them this season and the won't sell him currently even for that amount,  but i think a deal might be possible next summer if they're still Interested in getting him for same offer.

Al-Ittihad wants to do this because they really want to build a team dominated by European players and maybe the Saudi league also needs more exposure so that it can continue to present matches between football stars from this season. Indeed, that is the most worrying thing because everyone or even Salah himself does not know that his prime period will end due to age or actually experiencing an injury during that time.

That could happen considering what Liverpool wants, but the problem is, do Al-Ittihad want to wait for Salah until the end of the season? I think this opportunity is very rare, especially since Liverpool's finances are not at all good. But indeed, if Liverpool want to sell Salah now, then they must be prepared for the consequences for this season's competition.

This is definitely an unbelievable offer. Liverpool should understand that they are saying no to a huge amount of money. I don’t think this amount is going to be offered for him again in the future. Liverpool should sell Mohamed Salah. But at the same time that makes me think if they are going to face the troubles that they did after they sold Sadio Mané. And this is definitely going to be a risk. The question is, are they willing to take that risk?

If it was me, I would have definitely sold him, because as you said, he is getting old and he’s going to start having injuries very soon. It will be better for Liverpool to look for a replacement as soon as possible and approach accordingly.

BREAKING NEWS!!

Al-Ittihad has again made an offer for Mohamed Salah and this time the amount is so fantastic 251 million euros.

Now Liverpool will definitely be very confused by this big offer and let's see what steps Liverpool take. Will they let go of their star player or will they keep him?

Who wouldn't be tempted by 251 million EURO well Liverpool could get some decent players with that money, but back to Jurgen Klopp's statement that Mohamed Salah will not be leaving.

But there are rumors circulating that if it doesn't happen in the transfer window now it might happen in the winter or in the next season on the basis that Mohamed Salah has been targeted by the Saudi club, maybe Liverpool by considering his manageman.

There is nothing wrong with Al-Ittihad's offer, the average Arab club offers above the average market price.

I agree that the offer is really tempting. I think Liverpool really would like to get this much money from Salah's sale but they just can't do this now. Because they won't be able to bring anyone to replace him until January. Salah's absence would be felt a lot and they would start performing much worse while everything is going fine.

There is no need to take a risk now. Liverpool would just wait for the end of the season to think about this seriously.

If there is still an enormous offer from Saudi Arabia then there would probably be an agreement between sides. Salah would also surely get a huge contract offer.

What about the MLS is there any rumors from the league wanting to sign Sergio Ramos, his asking fee is too high for any club in Europe to sign him and he can't perform anymore at the level he used to perform when he was younger, he should lower his demands or leave Europe.

Saudi Arabian League will be opened to accepting him, clubs there should summit a proposal to him and he can't say no. He should be moving to the league outside if Europe and start preparing for his retirement so that younger generation if football will have space to play.

Sergio Ramos had a wonderful time playing in Europe, he has motivated many young players into becoming defender as he's one of the most popular  defender in the world. He has many champion league and has won many other trophies, he has done well in Europe.

Sergio Ramos is a free agent therefore if any club will be interested in signing him it will have to be his wages that will be the dealbreaker. Sergio Ramos has turned down deals from abroad even a possible move go Saudi Arabia thi summer and has rather accepted a move to Sevilla his boyhood club he left for two decades he is finally back as he prefers to stay closer to home.

Kyle Walker has officially signed a contract extension with Manchester City until 2026. It was rumored to have joined Bayern Munich but that didn't continue and Kyle Walker changed his mind by staying at Manchester City. Even though there is an opportunity to try a new challenge outside England, Kyle Walker has made the right decision and at least he can still contribute to Manchester City. Currently Kyle Walker is 33 years old and with the duration of the contract he will stay at Manchester City until he is 35 and even if after that he wants to retire or leave, he will fully become a living legend for Manchester City.

 Manchester City supporters will be glad to hear that one of their key players have secured a 2 year extension deal that will see him continue at the club until 2026. I think Gundogan, Riyad Mahrez, Cancelo and Palmer’s exit this summer was already too much loss of talent for the club in one summer and therefore they stopped the sale of Walker as well Bernardo Silva to prevent a massive drop in the team’s performance this season.

Rumors will keep circulating but they're all false because we are still waiting patiently for the legitimate news to confirm the signing of the Egyptian. Saudi club keeps pressing tempting hugh proposal for the primary player they keen on signing from Liverpool this summer. Perhaps multiple offers have been turned down but that doesn't mean it's clear path for them, they're not relenting as they keep exploring more alternatives to land the player. Mohammed Salah is a crucial player for Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp made it clear that he's not leaving the club anytime soon, he's a promising player with pending key projects to be executed by the Reds.

[Pokapoka124]

The other player I noticed will grow to be a good player is Rasmus Højlund for Manchester United. I like the way he played in the few minutes of his debut. He is powerful, very fast and looks eager to want to start scoring goals already for Manchester United. Those are good traits for a striker to have like Manchester City's striker.

Rasmus Højlund is a young player who has good potential. it all depends on Ten Hag in cultivating Rasmus Højlund's potential. although his debut did not end well because United lost. but he showed his quality. maybe in the next match, he will play in United's main squad.
Ten Hag must see the position and role that Rasmus Højlund is indeed suitable for. Ten Hag forced Rashford several times to become United's attacking leader. but it didn't work out too much as Rashford also seems more often and likes to play out wide with the pace he has. maybe Ten Hag should think about the right position to make room for Rashford and Rasmus Højlund. when the two match, it might be a weapon for Ten Hag to make United stronger.

Let’s just hope Rasmus Højlund’s arrival turns out well for Manchester United this season because his arrival at the club comes with lots of expectations not just from Manchester United supporters but also from rivalry club fans. Coming on against Arsenal, I know every Manchester United fan would be expecting a miraculous announcement of his presence with a goal but not even Rasmus could save the day for what was expected to be an opportunity for Rasmus to announce his presence.

First they were offering 100 million to Salah after that 150 million and now they are offering 215 million ! It’s a very smart move from Salah and Liverpool if they accepted their offer before the end of transfers market after they denied the first offers and raised his price from Al Ittihad. I don’t think that they really care that much about performance we have seen many players with better performance than what they already brought to all Saudi professional League lately. Many better younger players with way cheaper price in market but they chose to bring names for a reason.
Liverpool can get 4 or more players with that price if they accepted this offer and Salah even that he still can offer much in his position but not for long as you said, I believe it’s wise for Liverpool to take the offer for their own good and long term benefit of the team.

I think Erik ten Hag got it wrong by not granting Rasmus Højlund a starting lineup shirt for Man Utd in their match against Arsenal on the reason that he was half-fit for the match, I believe he would have performed better than Anthony Martial who started as the main striker but didn't make any impact throughout his stay on the field, it was obvious that when Rasmus Højlund came on as a substitute he threatened Arsenal defence on few occasions, had he started that match who knows he would have scored a goal, however the little time he came on he really showed some glimpses of a good striker and I believe he would score goals for the club.

Well, they had to bring someone in who is not world-renowned. And I am pretty sure that there are attacking players whom we don’t know the names of or actually good. But it will definitely be addressed to let Mohamed Salah go and bring someone like that. And we also know that if someone is showing potential, he is going to be more than a hundred million by default.

And no, there is no way they will be able to bring Victor Osimhen. I definitely do agree that the market is very unreliable right now. But Liverpool could definitely make other arrangements by selling Mohamed Salah. Life wouldn’t have come to a standstill without him for sure. It would have been a little hard to adjust at the start though. Probably they didn’t want to take a risk like they did when they sold Sadio Mané.

The scouting has changed so much in the last 10 - 15 years, it has become so intense that it is highly unlikely that huge talents go undetected for a longer period of time. That is why money is not fixing the problem immediately. When they have Salah, they do know what they have, it is quite simple. But when they don't have Salah anymore, they have absolutely no idea whether the next players will be as good as him or maybe better. It is a risk to sell quality because replacing it 1:1 often is a gamble.

But still I think since Salah is not that young anymore, the price that was offered was crazy. But Liverpool has plans for this season and they are ambitious, which is why I get their point of view.

The European transfer window has closed. Like EPL, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 there is no longer a transfer market. But the Saudi Arabian League still seems to be until September 20. This seems to make up the transfer gap. But I don't understand, can the European players still leave? If this can be of course, there is still a lot of hope for players who play in the 5 competitions above.

I was wondering how all these players that sign lately in Saudi professional league especially those coming from Premier League where they are the most supportive league for the LGBTQ+ community, these players and let’s take for example Henderson Jordan who was a big supporter of that community when he was playing for Liverpool before signing to Al-Ettifaq the Saudi Arabia team this country that consider LGBTQ+ illegal and against them totally, which means that players are not allowed to show any support or signs regarding it or even to talk about it.
So how these players agree for such different cultures and ideas or it’s all about money? Wherever they get good money they support their case?
I don’t really understand how rules of supporting such communities work in Saudi Arabia but I’m sure it’s paid in the other leagues where they support and wear those signs and flags.

It’s interesting that these players who were vocal about their opinions on the LGBTQ community while they were playing in Europe have turned silent all of a sudden. They knew the situation before moving to Saudi Arabia, I guess money changes one’s belief. The Arabs are very cultured people and do not want anything or anyone to disrupt their way of life. In my opinion, politics and social issues shouldn’t be mixed with football or any other sport, it just takes away the joy of the game.

Liverpool are still considering it, letting Salah leave is like shooting themselves in the foot - feet.

Sancho also has been linked with an exit from Man United, it is either he leaves before the deadline closes or sits fof the remaining months to leave Manchester United permanently.

As long as the Saudi transfer market is still in,then there is hope for players that are looking forward to leaving their clubs this season.Yes,as despite the fact that Europe's transfer is over,and the Saudi transfer is till on,players can still migrate from this part of the world to that part,but players can't come from that part to this part of the world anymore because transfer window have closed here,and it is still open there.There are lots of players in England that were scouted by Saudi teams,and if the window is till open,there might still be room for them to get a transfer to another league.

Yes, European club sides or lets call it every team can still sell to the Saudi league clubsides if they want to do so; as the Saudi League market is ongoing; the downside is that anyone in Europe (transfer market is off) who sells their talisman players to the Saudi clubs will be unable to get a replacement until the winter transfer market.

So the question is, will European club sides sell their stars for huge bucks without replacement ?

Saudi will make another bid for Salah before the end of their transfer season. I do not think it will still be accepted because Liverpool need Salah and know how important he is to their plans this season, especially now that they have just started. The Saudi's see Salah as priority and I believe they will continue to try until maybe the deal becomes successful. If not now, in the future. Henderson who just left Liverpool to Saudi said he did not really leave because of money, but because Liverpool did not want him to stay, I do not believe that BS.
