⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Mr.right85]

There are reports that Napoli are preparing to sell Victor Osimhen next year and would be open to allowing him to join Arsenal. But the question is do Arsenal want a striker like Osimhen? I don’t know but I think Arteta would prefer to get a striker that can get involved in build up and still bury chances, just like a Thierry Henry type of player. Gabriel Jesus has been an important player for Arsenal so far and I think Arteta allowing him to leave appears to be extremely unlikely. Jesus plays a key role in his side’s attack and while Osimhen would no doubt be of interest for any club with the relevant transfer funds, he would offer an entirely different attacking profile to this Arsenal side. I think there's an element of risk attached to most options that should be looking at. EPL experience, adaptation, style of play and market value.

Left of me, I would prefer a Ivan Toney. I think he has that extra force and can make his presence known up front, also good with set pieces and he’s been in the EPL for a while now. I'll take Toney for £50M. Anything higher, his age & the fact that He isn't as prolific has to come into the equation.

Since he is 31 years old, I think he can perform at a high level for 3 more years. Casemiro is a player whose style I like and he is one of the few players in the Manchester United squad who does his job well. He has a structure that gathers the midfield. The Saudis spend incredible amounts of money to recruit famous players, but if you ask whether Manchester United will sell him, I think not. Casemiro will be an important dynamo as we go through the recovery process.

Casemiro with his current level of play and fitness is indeed plausible that he is able to continue his contribution at a high level for three more years. He is certainly the most important player for Manchester United, even though we dont see his best performance like he used to perform at Madrid, his impact to the team is so significant. His ability to gather and control the midfield not only showcases his individual skills but also show his importance in the overall team dynamics.

Manchester United being reluctance to sell Casemiro is reasonable with the sentiment that players of his caliber. He is invaluable asset who consistently delivers and fulfills his role effectively. Manchester United as a club, especially during a recovery or rebuilding phase, would likely prioritize retaining such key players who provide stability and leadership. His experience, work ethic, and on-field contributions can serve as a stabilizing force during transitional phases.

We can't be sure about his fitness yet but I can say Casemiro is still at a level in which he can play for more years in top-level teams like Manchester United without problems, however, I think Manchester United should keep Casemiro but even if they don't want to have this palyer any more I think Casemiro can choose to stay in another team in the Euroa which there are obviously many offers for this palyer.
But moving to the Saudi countries is just too soon for a player like Casemiro who can play at this level for his team.

I totally concur with your assessment of Casemiro's skills. In my opinion, he still has a lot to give at the top level, especially at Manchester United. He's clearly been United's biggest loss in the middle of the field, both in terms of defense and helping their front line. He is really missing from the team.

The player's future is uncertain, and moving to the Saudi league now seems like a waste for someone of his skill. He's only 31 years old, so he's still in his prime, and he could seriously help any top European team. These rumors about PSG's desire make sense; they're always looking for top players. He should definitely stay in Europe, where he can continue to compete for big titles, because this is a turning point in his career.

Despite the fact that Casemiro didn't really impress on the pitch at some point, this season before he sustained an injury but there's no doubt he's a very good player with lots of experience when he's fully in form and I believe he still got alot to offer to Manchester United this season, however I think he has alot to work on so as to get better on the pitch when he recovers from injury especially his aggressive tackling that always get him booked.

 Well I won't blame Erik Ten Hag, or the board if they decide to cash in on him in the next transfer window, cause they need quick actions and not some constant testing with players that should be performing at their highest peak, but really underperforming and  affecting the whole clubs performance with their constant errors, atleast they use the money they realize from his sale to invest in another player that would perform better in that position.

[FanEagle]

Casemiro at Saudi league would be a dream come true for him, because he will not be able to make that much money anywhere else, and getting 10-20 even more millions per year is not something he could do ever, so it would be a great way to make as much money as possible before he retires. He is not that old neither, so he could play another 3-4 years as well, which means even at 25 million a year, that's another 100 million euros to his networth, that puts him at the top of the pile and could be considered a bit different.

I believe that we need to end up with something that doesn't really hurt anyone, United doesn't want him, Saudis would want him, and he would be getting richer, this works out for everyone in the end.

Even if it is like that, I still think in this case apart from Madrid Barcelona is one of the clubs that has always been coveted especially with the golden ink a few seasons ago where they reached the golden era.
At the moment Barcelona's decline is very pronounced but that doesn't really reduce their level of popularity in my opinion.

Now speaking of Barcelona it looks like they will still try to find some free players but on the other hand there are some rumors that say that there are linking Osimhen with Barcelona even though I don't think this is true because this will not be possible.

The success achieved by Barcelona and Real Madrid is the result of the hard work carried out by the professional players of these two teams, but currently these two teams are being defeated by new teams who are starting to threaten the position of these two biggest football teams. Barcelona must still be looking for the best players with young age and skills who have the potential to bring their team to victory in every match.

The problem for Barcelona remains the same, their situation is not very favorable in any way to find such players at the moment unless it is indeed nurturing young players like Lamine Yamal who comes from their own academy as well as with some players who do have more names and of course free like Gundogan last season.
As for some of the clubs that are starting to stretch it is a very good thing and I like this because after all it is progress for La Liga but even so until now I still don't see other clubs being able to match Madrid even though we now see some clubs like Girona or Atletico but still in the end until now the La Liga benchmark is still in Madrid and Barcelona.

Now speaking of Barcelona it looks like they will still try to find some free players but on the other hand there are some rumors that say that there are linking Osimhen with Barcelona even though I don't think this is true because this will not be possible.

Yep, this is unlikely to happen because it wouldn't make sense if something like this were real. I mean of course with their current financial situation and the option of bringing in free agents and loan players is one option that Barcelona can't afford to lose at the moment so bringing in Osimhen with a clause of over 100 million is not going to be possible.
But if you think of a way like what happened to Raphinha from Leeds, it might still be possible, it's just that it will add to their problems because after all, what needs to be considered besides the clause is salary and I feel Barcelona will not be able to afford the salary of Osimhen.

That's what you have to think about because after all, bringing an expensive player with a high salary clearly requires a plan, especially in budgeting matters so as not to interfere and currently Barcelona still won't be able to do that. Not that we underestimate but in the end this is a reality that we cannot eliminate where currently Barcelona has a big enough problem that they cannot solve in a fast time so I think expecting them to spend big money on a player like Osimhen even though it is very good but it will not be able to do it now.

Currently there are several rumours about Casemiro who will indeed leave United for several reasons so it is likely that this winter transfer will be very different from the Manchester United squad which is trying to overhaul especially for midfield and attack because seeing from several rumours now apart from Casemiro, there are names of Martial, Sancho and Van de Beek who are indeed the biggest candidates to enter the Manchester United sales list.

SPL will certainly start to enliven the transfer again with the price and salary offered but for Casemiro there is now another offer also from PSG where they are said to be interested in bringing this energetic attacking midfielder. Although the age of Casemiro is not young anymore but indeed seeing from what he gives on the field actually he is still able to be in a big European club so I think the offer from PSG (If this is true) can be considered. But if the target is big money then the SPL club is the main destination that will not be released.

Real madrid was doing massive transfer. After madrid has been recruiting endrick from palmeiras and the club is now looking for bellingham's brother. It has been reported that if real madrid is willing to recruit jobe bellingham. He was jude bellingham's brother.
It seems like that the club is trying to make them duet in the same club. This will be also helping real madrid to build the chemistry to be even better than before.

As you can see that so many EPL big clubs are also monitoring bellingham's brother. Jobe bellingham is currently playing at sunderland as a winger and he has very impressive debut on his football career.
Jobe bellingham is only a few years younger than jude bellingham. Madrid sees his potential and ancellotti is willing to recruit him. The chance for jobe to join in real madrid is very big,

Apart from this very unreasonable number, I think any club can fence its players freely according to mutual agreement. But here, a large number will make it difficult for interested players and clubs to recruit them, because we know that transfer rules must comply with FFP, of course there will be problems in the future if a club violates them.

Mbappe and Osimhem will continue to be the hottest properties in every transfer window, because they are young, talented and consistently score goals, and can certainly increase the bargaining value of a club in the hunt for trophies in all competitions in which they participate. Apart from that, the real challenge is that there are many interested clubs, especially if clubs from the SPL enter the competition, they can set a transfer record as easily as turning the palm of their hand.

We can refer to the market value of the two players.

Mbappe : https://www.transfermarkt.co.id/kylian-mbappe/marktwertverlauf/spieler/342229

Osimhen : https://www.transfermarkt.co.id/victor-osimhen/marktwertverlauf/spieler/401923

Of course, mbappé and Osimhen are the two hot topics right now. And a lot of media and news articles are going to be published about them. Because those are going to bring in the most amount of views. So of course a lot of media outlets and social media news channels are going to say things about them. But they are not necessarily going to be all true. No, I know some people will say that 400 million is not that much for him. But I personally believe that he does not deserve 400 million at this moment. Maybe sometime in the future.

Donny van de Beek finally reached a verbal agreement with Frankfurt but that was on loan until June 2024. I think it was the right decision for him to get regular minutes in another team and if he still stays at Manchester United then he will only be a warm-up reserve bench. Even though his status is only on loan, Donny van de Beek will definitely be happy about trying out a new challenge in the Bundesliga. The purchase clause is not mandatory, but if Frankfurt wants to trigger the clause then they must prepare funds of 15 million euros. Well, if Donny van de Beek can still prove his quality, Frankfurt will certainly not hesitate to buy his clause from Manchester United.

I think Casemiro to the Saudi League would be a win win for both parties; Casemiro gets his fat big wage; while the Saudi league gets a brazilian prodigy gem in the talisman which means more exposures and more brands towards the league.

The bigger question will be if the saudi league wants him; because definitely MUFC will be loooking to replace him by next summer

Officially, Luka Modric will leave Real Madrid at the end of the Season: (Source)
The Croatian diamond Luka Modric, 38, is set to leave Real Madrid after spending 11 seasons with the club because Real Madrid didn't offer a new contract. Luka Modric spent 11 seasons with Real Madrid, which makes a lot of sense in terms of statistics. He made 506 appearances with Real Madrid, scored 37 goals and provided 55 assists in his whole career with Real Madrid, I mean, in 11 season he did all of these and is still to continue at the end of the season. 

He won a lot of trophies with Real Madrid, including 4 UCL, which is quite well for a player. He did all of his best for Real Madrid and contributed a lot, but the age factor will split them apart.  He spends very good time with Real Madrid; he made up his prominent place in the Real Madrid team as well as in their legends. Real Madrid supporters will always remember his contributions to the club.

Moreover that currently there is no club has made any offers for him, but I hope maybe he could play his next season in the MLS in Inter Miami with Lionel Messi, or maybe their next destination will be Saudi Arabia because the European team didn't take any interest in this old guy. Despite this,  Saudi Arabia will be a good option for Luka Modric if he wants to earn money and spend the rest of his playing time.

What did you guys think? Give us your thoughts.

It was suppose to be Girona but he ended up with Frankfurt, a day has already been agreed for him to go for his medicals with the German Bundesliga side. He will have enough time to play unlike Manchester United. The injury had made him flop when he returned back to active footbal. He is amongst the list of Erik Ten Hag's players that would be leaving the club completely. With the Euro's approaching, he'll want to be in a proper shape so he can be called up by Louis Van Gaal.

Luka Modric is a legend who is intelligent and makes good use of his head to play football, his pass in the Champions League against Chelsea will forever be in my head. He's won it all go Real Madrid like Ramos, Ronaldo, Ozil and all others, it's time to see him leave for the youngins developing.

Firstly, I heard two versions of how things are now in the negotiations between Real and Mbappe:

1. Real Madrid does not make any offers but is waiting for an initiative from Mbappe, since the club’s interest is obvious, so it is waiting for a serious deal and not using itself in the auction (as was the case a year ago).

2. Real Madrid have made an offer and are waiting for a final decision from Mbappe until January 15th (apparently in the form of signing a preliminary contract, the execution of which will be very expensive to evade). If Mbappe does not agree, then Real Madrid will prepare to buy Haaland.

As for the fact that Real can easily wait until the summer when Mbappe becomes a free agent and only then sign him, I think this is not the case. One way or another, Mbappe is one of the best players of the generation and it may turn out that another strong club will get involved in the fight - maybe Liverpool, maybe Bayern (which, using the example of Kane, realized that making expensive purchases is not so bad and may decide on another top transfer). This situation will make it difficult to sign due to competition and the fact that the price for Mbappe will rise again.

The first version emerged after many rumors about Real Madrid secretly contacting Mbappe to make an offer and after that the news emerged not long from today and it makes perfect sense if Madrid didn't do that because Madrid is one of the big clubs that doesn't have to beg players.
For the second version, this rumor has just emerged and for me it also makes sense that if they send an initial contract offer before transfer window opens, maybe Real madrid will try to make an offer first to this player before it is offered by other clubs.

Yes I can understand in this situation it all depends on how Mbappe will determine the future of his career because the market price will definitely increase and this could make mbappe confused about which club to accept the offer but back to Mbappe initial plan if he not only thinks about money but also his career.
So if he really wants to have a career and get a fairly large salary, he should be able to join Madrid, accept the offer to have a career in the Champions league and I know that Mbappe really wants to get experience of lifting the Champions League trophy and this is Mbappe last chance to get a chance to be there at the right club and if this fails Mbappe prefers Liverpool or another club, Real madrid will not make another offer.

I haven't seen, or you could say haven't checked, whether there is an official statement issued by Real Madrid on their official website regarding Luka Modric's status. although in fact, Spanish media, Sport, reported that Real Madrid had decided not to give Modric a new contract. If this news is true and it is possible that it is because he is already 38 years old, Modric as a veteran player deserves to be given the award as a Real Madrid legend. Modric deserves to be awarded for his loyalty to the club he has played for so far, he is one of Real Madrid's genius players.

Personally, of all the current Madrid players. Modric is one of the players I really admire, although a decline in performance is inevitable due to age. However, if Madrid doesn't want to use his services next summer, that means the farewell of Modric and his Los Blancos supporters will have to be a celebration. Without Modric, Real Madrid would not have won many titles. I mean, as far as Modric with Real Madrid. well, I also read some rumors regarding Modric's resignation. So far, he has been rumored and linked with a club from the Saudi League. Apart from that, Modric is also linked with MLS, one of the clubs where Leonel Messi plays. in fact, no official statement was even made from this Croatian player. He is still loyal to playing for Madrid, even though he currently plays from the reserve bench. sometimes, Modric is not played at all. This season, Modric has only started 6 times in 13 matches so far. but because of his love for Real Madrid, he doesn't mind it even if this is his last season. I'm not a Real Madrid supporter, but what else would he be looking for other than retiring and ending his career as a Real Madrid legend.

We can understand if Real Madrid doesn't offer a new contract for Luka Modric. They already have many midfielders now, Luka Modric's age is also too old to be a competitive midfielder of Real Madrid. So, Real Madrid already made the right decision, they no longer need more service from Luka Modric. Real Madrid wants to give more times for the younger players to play. An old player like Luka Modric, is no longer the priority for Real Madrid. Luka Modric is better to leave Real Madrid than he must spend a long time in the bench.

His stats during playing with Real Madrid team is impressive. He contributed a lot for Real Madrid to win many prestigious trophies. 11 seasons playing with Real Madrid indicated that Luka Modric has a big role for Real, his role isn't replaceable with other players. Now, Real Madrid already have many successors for Luka Modric, so Luka Modric can leave Real Madrid at the end of the season.

I hope he will join Al Nassr. It is great to see him playing with Ronaldo again.

Real madrid was doing massive transfer. After madrid has been recruiting endrick from palmeiras and the club is now looking for bellingham's brother. It has been reported that if real madrid is willing to recruit jobe bellingham. He was jude bellingham's brother.
It seems like that the club is trying to make them duet in the same club.

I doubt Real Madrid would sign him. I haven't watched him but the clip I saw of him didn't show me anything we've not seen before. He'll definitely have a lot of hype around him since he's Jude's brother, but I believe it's much too early and I don't believe Madrid would want to take such a risk. They've already risked on Endricks and Guler. Guler has been injured all his time at Madrid and I guess Madrid would be regretting why they brought him to the club so soon.

In my opinion, Jobe should not listen to the hype around him. He should let his brother's name hype him. His brother is doing his thing so he too should try to do his thing.
The play Madrid is interested in right now, even if they don't say it out loud is Mbappe. Despite how many times they try to sign Mbappe and fail, they'll still try again.

[AakZaki]

I think it was just made up by the media by saying 400 million I don't think this will happen for the sale of Osimhen because this player is not his level at that price, it also doesn't make sense and who wants to buy him? If you say this is nonsense then I believe it.

Mbappe does have a high value at the moment the contract at 200M is still very possible especially now that Real Madrid is still eyeing him until his contract expires. Let's see how Real Madrid make a special offer to Mbappe.

I don't know if the 150M for Osimhen will go to Chelsea this is just a rumor while Real Madrid will not prioritize the Napoli player, while for the Arab club Osimhen there is no interest there.

A few minutes ago I saw on social media that Osimhen would stay at Napoli. Osimhen will extend his contract until 2026. In the contract there is a release clause of around €130 million. Napoli's clever move, but I don't know how much Osimhen's new contract is worth at Napoli. Actually, Osimhen sat has decreased. The statistics with last season are very much different. It would probably be Napoli's gamble if no team wanted to buy him because of the calusal release which was quite expensive.

As it is indeed Victor Osimhen will survive with the reason behind it the salary demands have increased, so Osimhen will calmly be at Napoli with a new contract and his release clause is still quite high 130M, he is an important player so Napoli dare to take this smart step because they don't want to let go of valuable players.

Osimhen's decline due to injury has affected their performance this season, but I don't think it's much because I'm sure Osimhen will definitely perform well again, so far Osimhen still has 7 goals for Napoli and is still said to be a good achievement considering the league is still long so it could be that in the future Osimhen can be productive again.

[Velvet78]

Chelsea are said to be after Aaron Ramsdale to transfer him in January due to an injury picked up by Robert Sanchez. However no matter he is injured or not I don't think he is a goalkeeper that is at Chelsea standards. He is prone to make mistakes just like Onana has been for Manchester United. Therefore it would be really better for Chelsea if they get Ramsdale.

Arsenal are already willing to sell him as far as I know. As long as there is an agreement on fee I don't expect anything else to hinder this transfer. Since Raya started to be in the starting lineup Ramsdale must also be keen on leaving the team for more playing time.

It would probably be Napoli's gamble if no team wanted to buy him because of the calusal release which was quite expensive.

I also saw some news about this and it was rumored that with a new contract there was indirectly a bigger clause that interested clubs had to spend if they really wanted Osimhen to leave Napoli.

That's quite reasonable with what Napoli are doing at the moment but indeed on the other hand I was quite surprised by Osimhen who again accepted a new contract from Napoli with their current situation. Although this could also be a smart choice for Osimhen but I think if in the end he really wants something more then re-extending the contract at Napoli is a wrong choice because in the end there are several leagues that are bigger than Serie A although surely this also involves concerns that moving to a new club will actually make Osimhen a little hassle with adaptation.
