⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[arallmuus]

The January transfer window is almost closing and there has been no major news of the Gunners signing some players. It is possible that the club is concerned about the Financial Fair Play rules and doesn't want to exceed their limits..

Probably still trying to get Toney on their end as Brentford is definitely stalling this. As for the FFP rules, I doubt any of the major teams like Arsenal would have this as their concern. Any of the top club would be able to hire the best attorney on their case to rule this out or find a loophole for this rules, same thing that City has been doing so far but its Arsenal though and we all know their financial situation is not as huge as the other major clubs so I doubt that that this is their concern

FFP rules can be underated easily broken depending on the rules broken, remember every rule broken have their consequences. The situation regarding Ivan Toney, he was charge with gambling which was totally against the rules, leading to the lengthy ban ditch out to the englishman, however he served his term and he's back on the pitch. He's an extraordinary player that does good works for his team, Brentford. He's an exceptional player that's capable of delivering his club in crucial moments. Arsenal is classified to be among one of the top clubs in EPL and they're precisely dealing with good conduct.

[lixer]

I believe the coach understands better if a new player should be added to the team, and if he does not make any new transfers to the club during this transfer period, we can conclude that he is satisfied with the squad and confident in their ability to win what they are fighting for this season. I don't see any position for which Arsenal desperately needs a backup; the first eleven players are fine, and they simply need to be managed well in order to achieve the best possible results for the team. I am currently looking up to Arsenal to fight for that top spot in the league and with the squad they’ve built so far, I don’t think that will be a problem for them to make it happen if their Coach Arteta can manage them well for the remainder of the season.

During their bad weeks few rumours were spreading around but as they back with bang now things are looking much better and positive with most chances they are not going to have any changes in this season because their all players are performing impressive, and they can do much better in coming weeks as well which will be good for their moral and confidence level will be also high.

Mikel Arteta needs to learn from mistakes and not try more experiments which are hurting their performance but still if they will decide about any new signing then surely things will be improved and having better change for the next season because they need to be done for long run and this is also important as many clubs mostly done but hopefully this all will be happened in coming season.

Leaving and Changing clubs is something I've always wanted personally for the Nigerian international, and it's the right thing to see him do. Signing the contract with Napoli I believe was a format or strategy to raise his valuation so whenever they want to sell him, they could make good profits.
Meanwhile, Chelsea football club are ready to match up whatever Napoli has setup to be his fee. I've always said it Chelsea would be his finally destination and it feel great to finally see it swinging that way.

He may not have scored good numbers at the African Cup of Nations Competitions because they lacked good and a proper attacking midfielder, but he'll do score goals whenever he returns to club football.

As much as I also want him to leave Napoli and go to where he will be appreciated, we can't deny the fact that Napoli was part of his life and career. He is known by the world when he came to Napoli, his performance did but the medium was through Napoli and he is also respecting it that's why he is still there. I watch his interview with Fabrizio and the thing he said make a lot of sense, the new contract didn't hold him down and even with the look of things, Osimhen is going to leave that team by the end of this season, too much racism and anti fans are too much, even the team he scored don't like him.


I pray his story doesn't turn to that of Mane, we all know how he was in Liverpool and appreciated there but because of pay difference, Bayern bought him and then trahs him after a season and he is now in a league of old men playing with Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia where the are using money to do what they want but what they don't have is the way Premier League and Champions League is done here in Europe.

Rumor has it that Mason Greenwood is going to Barcelona. If I'm not mistaken, he's currently on loan and playing for Getafe. Man United have no intention of Greenwood returning, therefore it seems that the sale option is the best choice. Greenwood's statistics at Getafe are not bad either, he scored 3 goals and four assists. Not only Barcelona, Valencia and Real Sociedad also seem to be monitoring his development. At 22 years old, he should have the opportunity to develop after the case that made him dumped from Man United.

He definitely has the opportunity to be a better player in Barcelona. But I don't know how much trust he should put in Barcelona because the club is not doing well right now. Financially it's broken. And the coach also seems to be not very friendly at the moment with all the things that are being said by people. Other options are not better compared to Barcelona. So he will have a choice to make. Manchester United is definitely not going to be very interested in him.  If Barcelona can get a young player like him, it is going to be very good for them in my opinion. Let's see if Barcelona can even afford him first though

Barcelona has several loan players at other clubs, if management releases one of them permanently then they can use the money to recruit Greenwood. However, we don't know exactly what Barcelona transfer policy will be in the future, but regarding Greenwood price, I think it is very friendly to Barcelona pockets which are currently experiencing a financial crisis. It's true, Greenwood is only 22 years old, he still has a long way to go, and his potential to continue developing and rebuilding his career is quite open. Joining under Xavi leadership feels very suitable, I think there is nothing wrong if Xavi makes a loan offer first to Greenwood parent club.

In total Greenwood has recorded 5 goals and 4 assists in all competitions with Getafe, a good start after a long break. I think Barcelona will win the race for Greenwood signature rather than Sociedad and Valencia. But as you said, we'll see how Barcelona strategy is to bring him with them.

Currently, Arsenal fans are worried about the transfer activities carried out by Arsenal, the transfer market only has a week left but until now Arsenal has not shown any signs of recruiting any players, currently transfer rumors and speculation continue to be hot news and perhaps Arsenal is the club that is most widely rumored to be approaching players at the moment, especially strikers, even the latest news is that Arsenal are reportedly starting to withdraw from recruiting Benzema from Al Ittihad even though previously Benzema had given the green light for Arsenal to recruit him, even from several reports that Benzema was willing to cut his salary is only to be recruited by Arsenal, currently Benzema is 36 years old but we cannot doubt how his performance has been and I think Benzema could be a solution for Arsenal which so far does not have a sharp striker in the front line.

IMO, if Benzema fits Arsenal's style of play, then he will be a problem for the teams that will be Arsenal's opponents in various competitions. when Benzema was with Real Madrid, the combinations and rotations carried out by Real Madrid's attack line at that time were very dangerous for the opposing team. the triple combination of Vini Jr, Rodrygo and Benzema is a pattern that Ancelotti always relies on. with Arsenal, if Benzema is able to adapt, he will again become a prolific player in terms of scoring goals. because Arsenal's game is more complicated and varies greatly from player to player. the problem is, Arteta and Edu have not done anything concrete by bringing in new arrivals this January. after all, Benzema is only an option that Arsenal is considering.

In fact, I don't know if Benzema has given the green light. Maybe it could be that I've missed a lot of news. the reason is, Lyon is also reportedly trying to bring in Benzema. Lyon did it last December, as quoted by Romano. But whatever it is, as an Arsenal supporter I hope that Arteta really brings in a player with number 9 as a goal scoring machine in their squad. apart from that, Arsenal are also rumored to have several other players they are targeting, including a player from Eveton. If I'm not mistaken, Amadeu Onana is still being linked with Arsenal. however, so far nothing can be claimed with certainty. maybe, if Arsenal will do it towards the end of the closing of the transfer window as a surprise. or maybe, the expectations don't match the hopes of the Gunners supporters.

I think Osimhen is still doubting his decision to leave or stay with Napoli. Moreover, he has extended his contract with Napoli and maybe that will be a big consideration for him in making his decision. But in my opinion, if Osimhen leaves for another team in the winter transfer window, there is a big possibility that he will find his best form because I think he is not very comfortable at Napoli after the internal conflict with the Napoli team at that time.

Everything will depend on his decision because for now Osimhen is still focused on defending his country in the African Cup and maybe he is not thinking about his future first because it could interfere with his concentration in defending his country. It's true that two Premier League teams are very interested in Osimhen and they are planning to lure him in this winter's transfer window.

The classic excuse of a wage cut is actually a clichéd situation for Barcelona because in the end we must realise that players also deserve to be given a commensurate salary for the performance they do and anyone would not want their salary to be cut especially on a large scale in this case.
Bad financial problems are always the reason but they don't seem to want to get out of that zone even today where in some years they actually do something that is not really needed such as improving the Camp Nou stadium which is clearly not a problem that is too urgent with a large budget but unable to return their finances to a better situation.

In this case even though it is labeled as a classic reason, in fact that is what happened. Barcelona could just  try to avoid it or deliberately save on large expenses. So whatever Barcelona current and  future financial  situation will reflect on its performance on the field. Regardless of whether or not there are players  like Joao Felix  and Cancelo, now Barcelona can't expect much  from their current striker namely Lewandowski.

So far, they are just trying to make the time last longer in the hope that their performance will be lifted by Xavi and get more benefits from there but this could actually be a blunder because after all, Xavi will not be able to make their performance good forever with the current players because of the fact that Barcelona needs new players to support their performance in the midst of injury problems faced and the productivity of Lewa which is declining, so additional funds are needed to change that.
The presence of a young player like Roque is also only exaggerated in terms of his performance at his previous club so we can't expect much from him.

One thing that can change Barcelona's performance to the same form as last season is perhaps a less busy schedule because however reflecting on last season when their focus was only on La Liga in fact they were able to become champions lol.

[Raflesia]

it seems Victor Osimhen is making his decision to change his team. Osimsen extended his contract with Napoli but he didn't have a good relationship with his team and he is thinking about leaving Napoli for another team and now he started talking about the Premier League I think he is going to play in the team from this league in the next season.

Osimhen relationship with the club has been strained since the problems some time ago and now it may be exacerbated by the recent problems with the agent of one of the players which surely makes the situation more complicated.

Osimhen's previous contract extension I think was just a way for Napoli so that they could make a bigger clause than before to get Osimhen out because now Napoli are also ready to negotiate with any club that really wants Osimhen services with a clause of more than 100 million already prepared.
But this will be interesting in the summer transfer because after all, apart from Mbappe there will certainly be Osimhen drama which could be something quite good to see where he will eventually go or force himself to stay at Napoli with an atmosphere that is not too comfortable.

[tyz]

European football is poor in terms of quality strikers compared to previous years. Osimhen is the kind of player that almost every team would like to have in their squad. In the English Premier League, except Manchester City, he would fit right into the tactical discipline of almost any team and would get a chance to play directly. He is a very high quality footballer and there are very few players with his skills in world football. I see him more suited to Arsenal or Liverpool because both Arsenal and Liverpool are better in the league race than Chelsea and a striker like Osimhen would score more goals for them.

I think this is not a European problem but a general problem in football. For some time now, there has been a tendency not to train the kind of strikers and center forwards we used to know. Instead, they prefer to train hanging strikers which are more offensive midfielders. Players like Lewandowski or Kane are a dying breed in football.

I wouldn't say it is a gamble as it's not like they have to lose very much. Roma won't be relegated into Serie B because of De Rossi, but as I said before the expectations could be wrong from the very beginning. I am saying this because they didn't just fire any coach. They fired Mourinho and if a new, young coach comes in I think replacing Mourinho does by itself define the expectations the club might have. The implicit requirement for De Rossi is: "Be more successful than Mourinho was until now this season". More than that, they definitely want to make into the Europa League at least and given how strong some of the other teams are, it is quite a tough goal to achieve.

I think expecting De Rossi to be more successful than Mourinho is a bit too much for him. We have to look at the whole process of Mourinho leading Roma, what he has brought to Roma is very remarkable that their previous coaches could not do. Mourinho's personality was not popular with the owners, so it is understandable that he was fired.
And Rossi taking over is only a temporary solution, we just hope Roma is temporarily okay during Rossi's time in power. To qualify for the Europa League, I think it is still within Roma's reach. They are only 4 points behind the 5th team, and this is the most realistic goal for Roma in this tumultuous season.

But that is what I was trying to say. When a club decides to sack a coach, then what is the reason to do that? It is because they expect an improvement afterwards. But this is why I think that De Rossi will have an incredibly hard job because Mourinho didn't leave a top team for him. The position is tough and the competition is fierce in Serie A. Now that they sacked Mourinho, they obviously want to try and catch up with the top of the table and then try to qualify for the Europa League or Champions League, but I am not positive that that's going to work out for them.

That is a change that needs to be done, sacking Mourinho in a respectful manner of course and because Mourinho has not had any effect on As Roma, it is better to replace him with a coach who can give As Roma a better future. De Rossi managed SPAL in Serie B last season, but only lasted 17 matches.
In those 17 matches, De Rossi gave SPAL eight defeats.
AS Roma clearly needs to be careful in appointing a candidate to replace Mourinho. AS Roma's new coach will immediately be tasked with improving the team's position in the Italian League after being appointed to replace Mourinho.

The extension of his contract with Napoli adds a complexity to the decision-making process. A player who is strong and efective as Osimhen will inded find his best at a better environment with a better teammates. The perceived discomfort at Napoli, stemming from internal conflicts, may indeed play a role in his overall satisfaction and form on the pitch. Osimhen's current focus on representing his country in the African Cup adds another layer of context to the situation. It's plausible that he might delay his decision on his club future until after the tournament to allow him to concentrate on his national team duties without distraction.

I think many clubs have interest in him, because, nowadays, good strikers are rare available in the market with many teams need a player for that position, like Arsenal and Chelsea. It wont be a surprise if Osimhen's transfer fee will be on a big amount of money.  The coming weeks and months will be crucial in determining Osimhen's future, and his decision will likely be influenced by a combination of factors, including his contract extension, comfort level at Napoli, and potential offers from other clubs.

Let's see if Barcelona can even afford him first though

Mason Greenwood has 1 year contract remaining with Manchester United but seems he will be into Mancester United selling lists because this team will not interested anymore to using him again and Manchester United will find other players instead of him however although Manchester United ban him but Mason Greenwood has proven that he still able to performing well and as a winger with the stasistics 3 goals and 4 assist is impressive performance and now some of clubs were showing their interest to him and reported Manchester United also have already to published Greenwood price tag

It says those who serious want to buy him they at least have to spend 40 millions and indeed Barcelona in the front lines who really interested to him but this is not new a rumour because if i am not mistaken Barcelona was attempts want to bought him from Manchester United several years ago but this transfer never happend and now this rumour was appears and Greenwood says it's his dream if Barcelona want to buy him and besides Barcelona reported Getafe also want to permanent him so lets see it on summer which clubs who successfully to gets his signs

I think that Osimhen may start regretting his decision to stay longer at Napoli if they fail to qualify for the Champions League. But I also think that this would be a critical phase for Napoli as they have nothing to convince Osimhen to stay with them except for the contract obviously. But my guess is that Osimhen would be transferred and that could mean the beginning of bad times for Napoli if they start losing some of their most important players while also failing to qualify for the Champions League. That could escalate quickly for them.

Tiago Djaló officially joined Juventus.

He signed his contract and he may already be available in the game this weekend.

[TelolettOm]

Osimhen relationship with the club has been strained since the problems some time ago and now it may be exacerbated by the recent problems with the agent of one of the players which surely makes the situation more complicated.

Since the relationship between Osimhen and Napoli management is getting worse, it is getting clear that he probably leaves Napoli. There is no way to stay a longer time in Napoli if Osmihen feels uncomfortable because of the problems. With the more complicated situation, the best way is leaving Napoli as quick as possible.

Osimhen's previous contract extension I think was just a way for Napoli so that they could make a bigger clause than before to get Osimhen out because now Napoli are also ready to negotiate with any club that really wants Osimhen services with a clause of more than 100 million already prepared.

Indeed. The contract extension is the way to increase the transfer fees. But I think it is no problem for top clubs to sign him. Big teams of EPL and Real Madrid will be interested to sign him although the transfer fees will be quite big. Sure, the transfer fees will be above €110m, it is probably around €200m.

But this will be interesting in the summer transfer because after all, apart from Mbappe there will certainly be Osimhen drama which could be something quite good to see where he will eventually go or force himself to stay at Napoli with an atmosphere that is not too comfortable.

There will be always drama for a big transfer. I'm sure Napoli still expects to keep Osimhen. But I'm sure Osimhen will move to another team. The situation is a bit different with Mbappe. Osimhen already feels uncomfortable in Napoli.

Yeah, since the relationship between him and club have been detoriating and he has no choice other than leave from his comfort zone to join in the better club. That's the only best solution owned by him to improve his skill. I can't even deny the fact that if osimhen has been performing very bad in the last matches. he has been rarely scoring for napoli and it was a disaster if he still stays much longer in the club. He needs to find the new club as soon as possible. This will be also helping him so much and i do believe any team will be trying to chase him as a new striker.

Osimhen's previous contract extension I think was just a way for Napoli so that they could make a bigger clause than before to get Osimhen out because now Napoli are also ready to negotiate with any club that really wants Osimhen services with a clause of more than 100 million already prepared.

Osimhen has been also speaking with the club to limit his clause. It's caused by he can leave from there anytime with sense clause to be bought by other club. This is also the main reason to extend his contract.
Osihen can be bought with the lower rate compared to the when he was at his prime last season. There is a lot of change happening. He must accept the fact that if osimhen is not as good as what it used to be.

People can try to find themselves about this.

Onana is having some hard times as it seems. He got degraded in his national team and I think he is not the number one anymore. He is also having some difficulties at Manchester United and now the question comes up whether he will soon decide to change something about his situation. Once being considered a super talent, he is now running into trouble on so many fronts. I guess ten Hag is the only one who will stick to him, but if one day Manchester United gets a new coach, it could also mean that Onana will lose his number one status in the club, too.
