⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[JeffBrad12]

Madrid needs to start the regeneration at the backs, and Saliba is the right choice to replace Carvajal. Carvajal is old enough to play at Real Madrid, and the club may not extend his contract.

Saliba to replace Carvajal? No man, they are playing in different positions while one is a CB the other is a RB.    I assume you were confused with one of their positions for a moment.

Ah, my bad!!. I was not confused. But, I forgot that Ancellotti had told Carvajal to play as a center back when Eder Militao, Alaba, or Rudiger were injured. It's happened very rarely, only two times. I meant, Ancellotti wants Saliba to be a future center back to replace Rudiger and Alaba. Nacho has decided to join al qadsiah, and madrid lacks of good CB.

Alaba and Rudiger are also getting older. That's it.

I'm not saying Militao is bad of course but he has also had serious injury problems. I think Saliba would perform better.

Eder is also quite often injured, and madrid most likely need saliba as his back up.

Recap

Manchester United is very close to Zirkzee from Bolagna, release clasue if over 40 mil.
Arsenal got personal agreement with Riccardo Calafiori deal almost done with Bologna, price almost 50mil
Chelsea will loan Romelu Lukaku again, this time probably to Napoli.
De Ligt one step closer to joining Manchester united.

The deal for Zirkzee is already done, he will be the first Manchester United signature and will join Manchester United immediately their European campaign comes to an end. It is said that, Erik Ten Hag was in close contact with him so as to make the move happen, I see some of his highlights and he is very technical and calm under pressure. He'll bring a whole lot to Manchester United.

I haven't watched the lad play but he seems to habe a bright future ahead. He will add up to the solid defense already Arsenal already has. I don't know the fate of Jurim Timber ahead of the new season if he isn't ready.
They have to get these deal done completely, so that he'll be a complete Napoli player. If they intend on another loan them, it should be a two years loan deal if they Napoli jas no such plans to pay for such a fee.

De Ligt is another player that has said yes to Manchester United. He loves the project of Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag. Either of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof will definitely leave the club Manchester United during the next few weeks.

Another rumor is that Arsenal approved the transfer of Riccardo Calafiori. He performed quite well when defending Italy. Arsenal have agreed to terms from Riccardo Calafiori. But Arsenal have yet to get approval from Bologna with an offer of around £40 million.  Bologna reportedly asked for around £42 million. At Bologna, Calafiori has played 37 times last season. Reportedly, Calafiori is also in demand by PSG and Chelsea. Bologna has a release clause from Basel. Basel will get 50% of the proceeds from the sale of Calafiori.

Arsenal started moving in the transfer market this time by moving quickly to bring in the Italian defender. I think it is quite clear what Arsenal will do, yes they want to add ammunition to their defensive area with younger players. However, they also must not forget that they have to look for players who can be more productive in their attack line and they also have to look for players who can play creatively in midfield to distribute the ball to the front players.

Arteta always prioritizes young players to become part of Arsenal, he has really built a solid foundation for the future of the club nicknamed The Gunners. Arsenal is experiencing a lot of development, they are slowly being able to rise and compete at the top and are preparing to win the title. This is because management gave Arteta time, so they did not rush to fire Arsenal when they played badly under Arteta's coaching.

In the regeneration phase which started from midfield last season, Ancelotti often carried out experiments until he succeeded in positioning Valverde as Kross replacement. Ancelotti will also do the same thing in implementing his experiments in the back line. Saliba may be ideal in the  centre-backs position, but in this phase Ancelotti can rotate his defenders one by one to change places. With the arrival of Mbappe, the front line will definitely do the same thing at first, so we can see how Ancelotti continues to experiment looking for a better format.

Arsenal should sign this Calafiori boy. He can strengthen Arsenal's defense, which they need. Remember how Arteta made those kids stars? Knows how to visualize. The illness caused a tangle with the Timbers. Calafiori differs. He proved difficult in Italy. Bring that fire and he'll strengthen England's defense.

They're smart with that sell-on option, Basel. The deal will make them a lot of money, which is good. If Arsenal wants this baby, they must pay £2,000,000. With Calafiori, Bologna won't want to stop him. This child is tougher than the Premier League. His addition may be all Arsenal needs to win. Bologna must play well till the end. This may be huge.

Federico Chiesa is a good recruit for Roma, he has played for a very long time in Serie A and didn't take long to adapt to Roma game. Roma must convince Chiesa to move from Juventus with a tempting salary offer. Roma front line will be much improved if they succeed in recruiting him because he can be relied on in the front line.

To compete with Inter Milan, Juventus and Milan, they must have a strong squad. The transfer market must be utilized to make Roma a club capable of providing competition in the race for the Scudetto.

His experience in Serie-A is no longer in doubt so it will help AS Roma to develop and his presence can also add depth to the squad to be stronger. The front line will be stronger when they succeed in recruiting Federico Chiesa because as you said to adapt will make it easier for him. De Rossi will have many options to develop an attacking strategy and that best ability must be utilized so that AS Roma can compete with other teams.

But back again how AS Roma can buy some players needed because if they only rely on the ability of one person, they may not be able to compete with Inter Milan, Juventus or AC Milan. Squad depth will be very important and it must be built by De Rossi if he wants to compete for the Scudetto.

Dewsbury has officially become Chelsea's newest signing this summer. As we know, Chelsea is quite active in recruiting young players, but the choice this time seems quite right because Dewsbury is a midfielder whose performance at Leicester City last season recorded 12 goals and 14 assists in 44 matches, which makes this player interested by the club. Premier League top club and he has established himself to join Chelsea and he will be reunited with previous coach Enzo Maresca who was Leicester City coach last season.
It seems that the coach was the one who recommended to the club to recruit this player.

With the position Chelsea ended the table last season they will be ready to equip the team with some young talents and the signing of Dewsbury is a good one due to his impact on the Leicester team that won the Championship and promoted to the Premier League just after a season after they were relegated in the 2022/2023 season. Scoring 12 goals and making 14 assist in 44 games he played for Leicester City last season means that he has good quality of a midfielder and that has been the area Chelsea have been lacking behind and the defense line as well. Having being coached by Enzo Maresca and to still link up with the coach at Chelsea shows that he will want to maintain a good relationship with the coach just like when in Leicester City so he will surely give in his best for his new signed club Chelsea FC. I also believe that Enzo must have influenced the signing of Dewsbury to the team so it's a good signing for the Blues.

I just hope that if Chelsea are going to sign young and promising players, that will be the solution to get rid of all the bad things they have. For me it is a very complicated subject. I would dare to say that Chelsea need a lot of luck, because changing coaches and changing players, I don't think that is the solution. At some point you can say that there is a lack of coach, but I don't know. I think that everyone who arrives is doing badly. There has to be something that could mean the definitive solution for this team and it is something that they have to do now. They already have the PL upon them, and it is time that they did something, because the level is getting stronger every day..

But back again how AS Roma can buy some players needed because if they only rely on the ability of one person, they may not be able to compete with Inter Milan, Juventus or AC Milan. Squad depth will be very important and it must be built by De Rossi if he wants to compete for the Scudetto.

It is essential that they buy players so that this team is reinforced and can play a better role, what Roma and Juve particularly have to do things better, and the way is with new players, I think they know that money is what limits them, but sometimes you have to make efforts, I would love to see a player like Osimhen or someone of his category arrive, because they are players who have a good spirit and desire to win, these types of players are the ones that make a team move forward.

They are now considering Alvaro Morata to replace Zirkzee.

Alvaro Morata? Hell no!    Milan would make the biggest mistake of their life if they sign him. I haven't ever seen a player as overrated as him in my life. He doesn't deserve to play for big teams.

I know a forward player doesn't always have to score so many goals. It changes according to their roles. However the kind of a player Milan would make use of is a finisher like Giroud. Morata isn't such player. He is more like a helper. He is good with creating chances for his teammates to score. But like I said, I think they should go for a real scorer rather than him. Otherwise we might watch a less scoring Milan next season. This is my opinion.

[Iranus]

He better move to Milan, in Milan they only have Giroud which is already 37 years old and Luka Jovic which is not a good striker. So, he can compete with Milan's strikers.
While in Manchester United, Ten Hag always give a chance to Hojlund, if he didn't perform, Ten Hag will replace Hojlund's position with Rashford. Since Rashford is one of veteran Manchester United player, it's quite hard to get minutes play in there.

Zirkzee isn't in his prime, so he's still need to improve.

Getting a main place in the team and regular playing minutes will of course enable the player's career to improve in the future.
Zirkzee is still very young and it is appropriate for him to think about his career first by choosing to join a team that allows him to be able to play fully and I also think that the right choice is AC Milan compared to Manchester United and competition is the reason.

However, if you are betting on a significant career advancement then at Manchester United he will be more visible because this team has much more attention than AC MIlan and also the Premier League is much more competitive than Serie A.

And currently Manchester United seems to want this player more than AC MIlan.
This should also be a consideration for Zirkzee.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5573939/2024/07/07/joshua-zirkzee-manchester-united-transfer/

It does not matter how much Manchester United is interested in a certain player. That certain player should never go to Manchester United right now in my opinion. Of course, there is a possibility that Manchester United will become a really good club for him and he is able to perform well for Manchester United. Premier League is obviously much more competitive. And that might not be the best thing if you are going to Manchester United. That would be a great thing if you were going to any other club in the English Premier League. But in Manchester United you are not going to improve anyway. if Joshua Zirkzee really wants to go to the English Premier League he should go to some other club. By the way, the competition in Serie A is also not that bad .

With the arrival of Mbappe, the front line will definitely do the same thing at first, so we can see how Ancelotti continues to experiment looking for a better format.

It seems to me that Real haven’t had such abundance in attack for a very long time, besides the fact that they got Mbappe, Ancelotti also has Geler, who cannot be kept on the bench. At the Euro, he was one of the leaders of his team and acted very effectively, and in several matches when Ancelotti gave him the opportunity to play for Real, he also showed a very good game. But these are all attacking players, and the middle line is an important link that must deliver the balls to the forvards.

Recap

Chelsea will loan Romelu Lukaku again, this time probably to Napoli.

Nowadays there is talk that Osimhen could be transferred to Chelsea. Napoli could partially fill Osimhen's void with Lukaku. I think such a swap between the two clubs would make sense. Both teams would get what they need in such a deal. Anyway, I don't think Napoli can keep Osimhen any longer. Napoli are a waste of time for Osimhen. He should play for better teams for his career. And Lukaku can have his last big team experience with Napoli. If he doesn't get good stats at Napoli, he will be forced to choose between a salary cut or a move to the Arab leagues.

It only makes sense if Chelsea can win - otherwise Osimhen will only ruin his career, especially if he stays there for long. If he needs to win, it's a mistake to move to Chelsea. He needs to choose another club that can most likely at least win their league and who are decent in the Champions League. It's hard to say exactly which club would suit him and even more so which club would be able to accommodate him, but definitely not Chelsea

[Leviathan.007]

Recently we heard the news about Michele Di Gregorio joining Liverpool because they sent him an offer and even Michele Di Gregorio was ready to sign his contract with this team but the deal with Liverpool didn't happen and Michele Di Gregorio decided to join Juventus.
Since they lost Szczęsny in Juventus they had to try hard to find alternative options and that's why Juvetos decided to hire Di Gregorio while he was close to Liverpool.

And Lukaku can have his last big team experience with Napoli. If he doesn't get good stats at Napoli, he will be forced to choose between a salary cut or a move to the Arab leagues.

This would be the perfect swap deal and both teams will be satisfied with the player they will get, Conte is so interested in reuniting with Lukaku and Chelsea needs the services of Osimhen so this swap deal be perfect for both teams.

Obviously Osimhen looks desperate to leave the club now but the price tag on him is making other teams look away so this swap deal is the best way Chelsea can get him that they will spend less and it is the best way he Osimhen can be free from Napoli and have a chance to join an European team else Saudi league will be the last option for him. He is still good enough to play some few more years in Europe. It will be a great addition for Enzo Maresca team and also the club entirely for having such talented player.

It's hard to say exactly which club would suit him and even more so which club would be able to accommodate him, but definitely not Chelsea

Osimhen as said by their president in Dicember is already sold but we dont know to whom.
A reason on why we dont know yet is because it may go to EUA and there the market session will start in 1 week.

It may also ends at PSG, they needs to replace Mbappè somehow even if they are not spending so much money lately.


So TLDR, Napoli will have the money from Osimhen and they can spend for Lukaku.

It's obvious that the presence of Victor Osimhen at Napoli isn't needed any longer and that's because the club manager in his interview last month said that the club is open to any good offer that'll see the Nigeria international leave the club but that's not the issue at hand now. When asked about the future of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Napoli Boss Antonio Conte was fast to say how the club doesn't have tne intentions of selling the Georgian.
I've seen a report that suggests about Napoli's readiness to sign Victor Osimhen Chelsea's striker Romelu Lukaku on loan this summer of which i personally think Chelsea should maximize that opportunity to add the signing of Victor Osimhen on permanent basis to any transfer clause that'll see Romelu Lukaku join Napoli. I believe Victor Osimhen will solve Chelsea's problems in the striker's position.

Arsenal are just waiting for a deal for Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna. I'm sure it's just a matter of time, next week the final round of talks has been scheduled, citing reports from Fabrizio Romano. To be honest, I don't know much about the players who play in Serie A, but I hope that the choice to bring in Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna is the right choice. Several other newspapers also reported that if Arsenal had reached an agreement for Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna, Arteta and Edu were interested in bringing in several other names afterwards. It is reported that several different positions are the next targets apart from the pure striker they are targeting, Football London reports that Arsenal will bring in a winger and also a midfielder. However, that means several players will be released by Arsenal in this transfer window. one of which was reported by Romano, namely Jakub Kiwior. It is possible that several other names could potentially be released by Arsenal even though they are their core players, although in reality this might just be an issue. I hope Arteta really brings in a decent newcomer, especially for the pure striker they are after. whether it's Victor Gyokeres from Sporting, or Osimhen from Napoli. In essence, next season Arsenal must appear much more productive and have a solid midfielder and defense.

Girona is one step closer to convincing Manchester United to bring in Donny Van de Beek from Manchester United. We know that during last season he was loaned to Frankfurt but there he rarely got playing minutes. When he returned to Manchester United, he was indeed one of the players who would be released and here Girona was ready to pay his clause if the total was up to 20 million euros.

Actually, that's a fairly cheap fee, but if we look at his performance which is starting to decline and he rarely gets a place to play, Girona should be able to negotiate an even cheaper fee. But here Manchester United doesn't want to continue losing and at least they can get back the money they have lost so much. If this transfer is successful next week we will be able to see Donny Van de Beek in Spain.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1809632931259854966

Donny Van de Beek is unlucky in Manchester United because since joining with this team he never gets any place on Manchester United starting lineup although Ten Hag has attempts to playing him several times but Donny Van de Beek  was failed to adapt with Manchester United and actually he was performing well while loaned to Everton even Donny Van de Beek can save Everton from relegation zone but apparently it wasn't enough to impress Ten Hag and this season Donny Van de Beek loaned again to Bundesliga team Frankfurt but at this team too Donny Van de Beek hard to gets the trust from Frankfurt manager and only played 8 times

Manchester United is really want to sell Donny Van de Beek this summer because Ten Hag have no plan to hold him so that's why they were attempts to offering him to the several clubs and so far not much clubs who showing their interest to him but recently Girona appears as the club who possibly want to bought him and the negotiation almost deal that Girona have to spend 20 million to gets him and i think Donny Van de Beek decision to moved to Girona is very right decision because he have no place anymore in Manchester United and in Girona Donny Van de Beek hopes he can able to in form again

It may also ends at PSG, they needs to replace Mbappè somehow even if they are not spending so much money lately.


So TLDR, Napoli will have the money from Osimhen and they can spend for Lukaku.

Even the PSG rumors isn't certain because as of now there's actually no official update on the fate of osimien and I don't why you feel he can't go to Chelsea because from osimien view of things of himself he would love playing for a English side and also in the premier league, beside the English premier league is more competitive than the french league A.

[bitgolden]

All these rumors need to stop, Arsenal have confirmed that Saliba is going no where this transfer summer.
Madrid want him and they wanted to try their luck if they can get him since Arsenal is making effort to bring Calafiori, so they will want to use their influence to bring him to strengthen their defense which if they succeed will be the best decision they would have made because Saliba is a very good and strong defender with experience and composure despite his age.
But Arsenal management will never let him go anytime soon. In fact I will be expecting Arsenal management to give him more contract conditions which will include huge amount of money for his release clause because they cannot afford to lose him.

Sometime while we have any top club having interest in any player things take serious changes about this same happening in Saliba case where media is trying to hype this matter even we all know he is important for the Arsenal and there is no chance they will allow him for having any transfer Calafiori is already in for the Arsenal as they are strengthening their squad and wants to keep things at the top level with next season is surely going to be having more challenges for them with two times staying at the second spot is ok, but now fans want some improvement.

Real Madrid which is also doing good job for having all top tier players into their squad is having strong case for Saliba as well, but most chance things will be not taken any change, and he will be stayed here for more time with Arteta is also having strong bonds with him for his stay at the Arsenal.

I believe Victor Osimhen will solve Chelsea's problems in the striker's position.

Osimhen future is still very confusing, with the President of Napoli apparently continuing to play a game of price tug-of-war with interested clubs, previously it was reported that Chelsea had withdrawn from the competition to get the services of the Nigerian international striker. Most recently, Napoli are reportedly willing to reduce Osimhen price, and rumors are growing that Napoli have contacted Chelsea regarding the possibility of Osimhen transferring to Stamford Bridge.

Apart from that, Napoli have confirmed that Kvaratskhelia is not released, even though PSG are very interested in signing him. Napoli will suffer an even worse setback if their two mainstay players leave, Conte can't do much if that happens. Meanwhile, Chelsea may sacrifice one of their strikers if they manage to get Osimhen.

I am sure that Napoli will eventually release Osimhen, and will use the benefits of this transfer to support Conte plans to build depth in the Napoli squad. Conte interest in Lukaku allows Chelsea to get Osimhen via barter, I think that is the right way.
