⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[JeffBrad12]

Yamal (for me personally) seemed to come out of nowhere and now he is already playing in the Spanish national team. I completely watched the game with Georgia and I didn’t understand why he was in the national team (although every player has bad days), he was bad. The only reasonable explanation is that we are again seeing a figure who will be one of the main ones for PR, as was the case in the era of the confrontation between Ronaldo and Messi.

Yamal is still 16 and I agree that it is a really early call for the national team. He is very young and he still needs to gain a lot more experience. He isn't very good at making decisions for now for example. Maybe the media has the biggest effect on his being called already now. You know how much they praise his talent these days.  

I assume Yamal must be the youngest player to take part in Euros and even be in the starting lineup. Nowadays many teams started to do this though. Calling really young and promising players to national team to give them a chance. For example Arda Güler at Turkey.

Yamal is the youngest player in the Euros. Arda and Mainoo are next, and they are the second and third youngest players in the Euro 2024.
I think, calling young players to play in the national club give various benefits for the player and his club. The player will gain more experience and popularity, and his team will also get financial gain. This is because the value of emerging stars will surge. This is due to the excellent performance of their young players.
Team gets many benefits from their young talents play in the top national football competition in Europe. This can help their players get experience, exposure, and popularity at the same time.

Who would have thought that Riccardo Calafiori would become a hot topic for the big European teams and now Arsenal is also hunting for him. Mikel Arteta has approved the club's plan to recruit him and maybe this transfer will go well considering Arsenal has a good relationship with Bologna. Riccardo Calafiori is priced at 50 million euros and it looks like Arsenal can still negotiate that fee down a little.

On the other hand, Chelsea are reportedly also interested in him and they are offering to add additional players to Bologna as a transfer agreement for Riccardo Calafiori. This Bologna central defender seems quite interesting because previously Liverpool and Real Madrid were also interested in him and let's see which of these teams will manage to get him.

Calafiori is currently being fought over by several big teams and Bologna also doesn't mind letting him go if there is a team that dares to pay a high price, Calafiori is one of the important pillars that had help Bologna this season to end the season at a big five  and also will be playing in the Champions League next season, Bologna Of course they appeared quite impressive last season with thiago Motta, but when they will compete in the Champions League next season, they are starting to let go of several important players who they should have kept, Calafiori will probably be the second important player who will leave Bologna if is an agreement his move to another team will happen in the near future, previously Zirkzee also started heading towards the Bologna exit at this time.

There are several teams that are starting to target Calafiori at this time, one of which is that Arsenal is known to have a good relationship with bologna, but getting Calafiori is of course not an easy thing considering that Chelsea is also in the competition to get Calafiori at this time, in fact it is not only the English league team that is Currently interested in bringing in Calafiori, Juventus have actually sent a proposal in accordance with the asking price set by Bologna, but Bologna actually rejected Juventus offer by saying they not sell Calafiori to a fellow Italian team.

I don't understand why when there's a hot football transfer rumor, Chelsea is always joining the race? I'm enough to see the words "Chelsea" and "transfer" at the same time.

I see that Riccardo Calafiori is a highly potential player, he's only 22 years old, bringing Bologna to qualify for Champions League and he's playing for Italy senior team. He deserved to play in big team, moving to Arsenal is a good idea, they always play with 4-4-2 strategy. Since he's a center back player, he has a higher chance to play without need to wait the main center back injured.

It seems that Mbappe covers the Brazilian wonderkid who performed well in the Copa America, Serie A and Palmeiras.  Endrick appears to have renewed his contract last June. At the age of 18, the talent is extraordinary if Madrid is able to develop his abilities. Moreover, I heard that Madrid will still choose him in the list of Madrid's main players next season. There are rumours Endrick will return to Palmeiras but it doesn't seem that will happen with Ancelotti's departure. Reportedly, Endrick will be introduced on July 26. But with a slightly small posture, I honestly doubt the game of cross ball and take advantage of headers.

The latest news I know, Napoli wants €150m for Osimhen. PSG already made an offer above €120m but it was rejected by Napoli management. I don't think there is an EPL team that wants to pay for €150m. I guess only PSG which is very serious to sign Osimhen and they want to spend money over €120m.

Source : https://www.bolasport.com/read/314114003

I believe Napoli is not ready to sell Oshimen, which is why his price is so high, making some clubs feel discouraged. Osimhen is one of the best players in the clubs, and in international clubs, everyone likes him because he is a very talented player who can score goals and is stronger. Only expensive clubs like Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and PSG, I believe, can afford to buy Osimhen in the eruopa league competition. Osimhen's price may be reduced to attract interest from other clubs in the competitive. As a young player he has potential to win titles and rewards. I am even hoping Osimhen to leave the club and move to a Premier League, a competitive league where many clubs will know about him very well and win titles and rewards because he is still young player that have more chances to play and win things.

I believe PSG will not like players like Osimhen because they need a striker who can be good and fast, and Osimhen is a slow killer who is not performing as well as Mbappe. I have heard rumors that Rashford is on his way to PSG since that is a player PSG would like to have in the team. Not like Osimhen is merely Manchester City, Osimhen will fix since their playing style is similar to Napoli's, they do not rush the ball and prefer possession.

[Justbillywitt]

It's just that, is it possible that at his current age, he can compete fully? I don't think so, it will definitely affect the stability of the performance. But I personally still really expect that he will be right here.

It's also possible they're not looking for his on-field performance as mentioned above. It's not new, I recall Liverpool doing the same thing with Milner. I suppose a team player who can lead and be vocal in the dressing room is essential. I believe a one-year contract for old but key players is also common. Most of the time they become the second or third choice for the captain position. I think it's a good deal if their goal is to rejuvenate the squad with new leaders for the future. CMIIW.

Modric is wholeheartedly committed to Real Madrid. I remember there was a big decrease in the contract fee and despite this, he accepted the offer. If it was another football player, he could have gone to Saudi Arabia and earned big money, but he seems to have decided to quit football in Real Madrid. The Croatian football player will be in the background next year as well, but he does not seem to worry about that. He will take on an important role in the team.

I think Luka Modric is already a legend in the Real Madrid team
and looking out the sacrifices he has made and his commitment in the progress of the team, it shows a lot of respect,love and loyalty he has for Real Madrid team and I'm so happy that he has been offered yet another year contract hopefully he's going to retire in the Madrid team instead of going to Saudi Arabia to play for money as some will say.

I don't think Luka Modric cares about he's playing time any longer in the Real Madrid team all he's up to right now is to give his best to help the team win games and win more trophies so I think it an honor to see him play along side the young stars whom will emulate a lot of qualities from him, can't wait to see him play next season a long side Mbappe.

It's really a good thing that Luka Modric has been offered a year contract to extend his stay at real Madrid. That's the reward for loyalty. I can't imagine seeing him wear another club jersey again, I will love to see him in real Madrid colour alone before he retires. After next season he should think of retirement and pick up another role in football, he has to give room for younger players to see opportunity to perform. Since he loves football so much he should consider taking up a coaching career and perhaps he will manage real Madrid some day and continue to win trophies with them. He is a well decorated player who will be a big influence to Madrid squad next season on and off the pictch. His performance in euros still shows that he has enough energy in him to play for one more year.

[Velvet78]

This is actually what should happen. It is necessary to give chances to young people in football. Yamal is a good example of this. Even though he is only 16 years old, he is competing with 35-year-old players, competing with those who are physically much superior to him. We are witnessing the early days of a young superstar who will probably be stronger than when he was 18-19 years old and will carry Mbappe's potential in my opinion.

On second thought, especially for players with big potential it might be sensible. For example Yamal has been doing pretty well in Euro 2024 in general. Maybe he has some decision problems like I said but it is normal for his age. I'm satisfied with watching Arda Güler at the national team as well. His skills and creativity add quite much to the game. He can make direct impacts on a game. 

Players like this must be seeing this kind of big organizations as a chance to let more people know about them too. I can't describe how much these two players I have given as an example are happy with reaching the quarter finals with their national teams. 

[bitgolden]

The Osimhen transfer will create significant funds for Napoli. If he is to leave the team, his income must be at least 100 million Euros. There are few teams in the world that can offer this (I don't count the Saudis ) That's why one of the few alternatives is Paris SG. If I were him, I would go to League 1, PSG, thinking that it would be better statistically, but I know that he loves competition and I think Osimhen will choose the Premier League. It is a pleasure to watch the Nigerian. I think he would fit in better with those great players.

If Osimhen really likes competition, why last season did he reject many offers from European clubs? especially Chelsea but Osimhen chose to stay. Now like it or not imo the most sensible option is to take PSG offer, staying at Napoli doesn't guarantee that you will get enough playing time. What is clear is that Osimhen needs to get out of his comfort zone and challenge himself to prove that the price tag above 100 million Euros is worth it. PSG is the only club that is ready to provide guarantees for the main squad, at least PSG will return to the UCL in a different format.

To be fair to him, he was still under contract and as long as the team doesn't want to sell the player there is not much that he can do. He could have forced his club to sell him, and would say he will not play in the games unless he is sold, but that would not be easy and it could have caused further problem for his career. So maybe he did wanted to leave, and we just did not know about it, he may have done all he could without making a big scene, but if the team didn't want to, then what could he have done about it?

Napoli wanted 100+ million for him, and to be fair that was always way too much, who would pay that much money for a player who had one great season? The reality is that he worths somewhere around 60-70 million range if you ask me, nothing more than that would be realistic and he would be staying at the club. The real question will start when his contract is nearing the end, if he wants to really leave, he won't resign and will go to another team.

Some people predict Riccardo Calafiori could being an Italy national team future player and his game of style is similar to AC Milan legend Paulo Maldini and this season most of big clubs are paying their attention to him because he can performing well and bringing mediocre team Bologna to broke the domination of big teams in Serie A and finish at 5th place and playing at Champion League and just like i said before actually Bologna want to hold him because Riccardo Calafiori is still important for them but i think it could be difficult because Riccardo Calafiori was targetting to several big clubs and they even are willing to pay with high price as transfer fee to gets him

Rumour said Juventus want him but maybe it will be difficult because if Bologna want to sell him then most likely they will demanding high price so Juventus chances to gets him is quite small but indeed currently he was linked to at least 3 Premier League clubs such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea even Arsenal is really serious who want him and i think it's time for Riccardo Calafiori to playing at bigger clubs and it's interesting to see who is the winner to gets his signature

Joao Palhinha is reportedly set to join Harry Kane at Bayern Munich as Fulham have agreed to a €46m (£38m/$48m) transfer.

I know I have said that Kompany is probably not the best coach to handle the matters of Bayern Munich right now. But these players that he is bringing in, definitely look to be very good. Palhinha is a pretty good player and I think he is going to be very important for Bayern Munich if used properly. And I think he can be a player like Busquets was for Barcelona. Kompany might be going for that kind of a strategy. Using a defensive midfielder as the pivot point and control the game. I don’t know if he is going to be successful with that strategy in this day and age. But it should still be a very good strategy if pulled off correctly.

I assume Yamal must be the youngest player to take part in Euros and even be in the starting lineup. Nowadays many teams started to do this though. Calling really young and promising players to national team to give them a chance. For example Arda Güler at Turkey.

Lamine Yamal is too young? How old was Cese Fabregas when he played for National Team? I would say he is one of the vital players for the Spanish squad in this Competition.
I do feel like they hype him honestly but he is worth the hype when I took a good look at what he is currently playing. I hope he keeps a cool head when he plays against Germany.

I've seen news of hims wanting to move to Paris Saint Germany but I don't know how valid the information would be but I don't think it's a good move right now.
Àrda Guler is also doing well, he has a good goalscoring and conversation rate foe both club and country.
As for Vincent Kompany, he is making a good move but I don't know if he would be able to manage these players Bayern Munich are recruiting currently.

[Smack That Ace]

Well, they have been promoted right? So it should not be anyone that they are bringing in players so that they can perform better. the first of them should be too in the English Premier League and not get relegated. But I think they should think about the defense a lot more than the attack. They have scored 92 goals in the last season. Which is definitely higher than any other teams in the championship. But they have also conceded 57 goals. That is on the higher side. So I think they should think about the defense a lot more compared to the attacking side right now.

Looks like Thierry Henry announced that Juvenuts prohibited to Thuram to participate in the summer olymphic games.
It is a good call and usually done by team, Real Madrid did the same with Mbappè 1 month ago.

It is also rumored that medical has been already done.

Chelsea has finally complete a deal with Leicester City in the signing of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall for £30million. Seems Chelsea new manager is really taking the transfer window initiative very serious with the number of completed signings the club has completed lately with rumours of others under the tunnel.

For the record this is one fabulous signing for Chelsea so far, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is an outstanding left footed midfielder with admirable performance in the previous season at Leicester scoring 12 goals with 14 assists.  A one time Europa Conference League team player of the  2021/22 season, and with the Blues participating in the conference league next season it makes him a more perfect signing for the blues.

I haven’t seen him play in Italy. Watching him at the Euros is the first time and I like what I see. There is lots of talk about him going to Arsenal but they have Gabriel and Saliba at central defence which was the best partnership in the PL last season.

Maybe if he goes to Arsenal he could play on the left of a three man defence.
Juventus are still lurking and Chelsea seem interested. I hope he goes to Juve so he doesn’t strengthen another PL team.

It's actually a confirmed news mate. Thierry Henry who is in charge of the team that'll be representing France in the upcoming Olympics games did tell the media earlier today that Thuram has been asked by Juventus not to participate in the Olympics. According to reports, all are set for Thuram to complete a 5 years move to the Italian Serie A club and will be at the club by tomorrow so he can complete his deal. For Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid management asked him to choose between the Olympics and the UEFA Euros Championship because he wanted to participate in the two competitions and knowing how important the Euros is, Kylian Mbappe decided to go European Championship.

Not like Osimhen is merely Manchester City, Osimhen will fix since their playing style is similar to Napoli's, they do not rush the ball and prefer possession.

In fact, I just found out that PSG have made an offer to Napoli for Osimhen. The reason is, from several newspapers I read, PSG is more interested in Osimhen's colleague, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. So, I doubt these rumors. However, it is possible that PSG will submit a proposal to Nopoli for Osimhen. The reason is, finding an established and productive striker is currently quite difficult. In fact, Nopoli is willing to release Osimhen in this transfer market, it's just that the club that wants him must be willing to pay with the release clause for this Nigerian international player.
Referring to what you said, it seems that we have slightly different views. In fact, Paris Saint-Germain needs a pure striker like Osimhen. The reason is, they have wingers they can rely on. so, Osimhen is the ideal option for Paris Saint-Germain.

Unfortunately, it is reported that Osimhen is more interested in the Premier League. Some of the teams that have been linked are Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United. but as far as I have read, only Arsenal are often reported to be linked to Osimhen. Arsenal reportedly decided to cancel plans to bring in Osimhen from Napoli, because the transfer value that Arsenal had to spend was very large. As a result, it is rumored that Arteta now prefers Victor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon. Likewise, from Transfermarkt, only Arsenal are linked with Osinhen apart from the Saudi club. By the way, if Napoli insist on releasing Osimhen with his clause. It seems like no club is really willing to sign him in this season's transfer window.

The real question will start when his contract is nearing the end, if he wants to really leave, he won't resign and will go to another team.

Napoli management will most likely not get a profit of up to 100 million from the Osimhen transfer saga, if the clubs interested in him see Osimhen performance last season. We remember that Oismhen failed to find his best game due to injury, which had an impact on his overall goal productivity. Indeed, this is not a benchmark, but I think Osimhen performance inconsistency could affect his market price. Meanwhile, PSG, Chelsea, Arsenal and Man United have often been rumored to want to recruit Osimhen, of these clubs, it seems that only PSG has shown serious interest.

On the other hand, we know that last season Osimhen signed a new contract extension with Napoli, so his release terms have also changed. It is reported that De Laurentiis has met with the President of PSG to discuss the possibility of a transfer, but so far there has been no official news from Napoli or PSG. If Osimhen chooses to stay another season, honestly that is also the right decision. However, it seems De Laurentiis wants to cash in on Osimhen in this summer's transfer window, and use the profits from the sale to build the squad depth that Conte wants.

Thierry Henry who is in charge of the team that'll be representing France in the upcoming Olympics games did tell the media earlier today that Thuram has been asked by Juventus not to participate in the Olympics.

For Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid management asked him to choose between the Olympics and the UEFA Euros Championship because he wanted to participate in the two competitions and knowing how important the Euros is, Kylian Mbappe decided to go European Championship.

Not to bad, to me football has no sense in the Olympics.
It can't be considered a "fair" competition when a nation can't bring the best of the best but only young players and 3 over age of 21yo.

France will be probably the favorite anyway since they have a big selection of young stars.

[Richbased]

I think Luka Modric is already a legend in the Real Madrid team
and looking out the sacrifices he has made and his commitment in the progress of the team, it shows a lot of respect,love and loyalty he has for Real Madrid team and I'm so happy that he has been offered yet another year contract hopefully he's going to retire in the Madrid team instead of going to Saudi Arabia to play for money as some will say.

I don't think Luka Modric cares about he's playing time any longer in the Real Madrid team all he's up to right now is to give his best to help the team win games and win more trophies so I think it an honor to see him play along side the young stars whom will emulate a lot of qualities from him, can't wait to see him play next season a long side Mbappe.

Modric is already old because 38 years is almost close to a retirement age so ending his football career in Real Madrid will be an honor for the Croatian international footballer. He has really made positive effort for Real Madrid during his stay and for the fact that the club have offered him another year is a very good one even though speculations where tipping him on joining the Saudi league, going to the Saudi league would have indeed earn him good cash but football is not really all about the money but your commitment to the team you are playing for is very important. Real Madrid already loves Modric that's why his contract was extended so it will be lovely watching Modric play with Kylian Mbappe next season. Madrid have just got so many best players and am wondering if any team can be able to win them next season.
