⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[LFC_Bitcoin]

So it is now officially happened.

Mbappè to Real Madrid, he will wear number 9, free agent yes but it is rumored to had a 100m € bonus.

And I think it will be the new trend now, let contract expires to have big money at the sign.

Players have a lot of power but most clubs won’t allow a player of such high value to run his contract down and leave for nothing. Any smart club will offer players an ultimatum when they have two years remaining, either sign an extension or be sold. Funnily enough Liverpool have allowed Van Dijk, Salah and TAA to enter the final 12 months of their contracts which is stupid. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with those three.

Maybe now the international tournaments are over we’ll start to see more transfer activity, it has been a very quiet window so far. Liverpool need at least three new players to compete for the big prizes.

I totally agree with you. Thomas Muller has done so much for German football and now it is time to give younger players chance. He has had amazing career winning many awards including the Golden Boot. He is legend in German football. He might keep playing club football but he will probably stay with Bayern Munich until his contract ends. He might consider playing outside Europe but it is unlikely he will join another European club. Muller time playing club football might be coming to an end but his legacy will live on. New talented players like you mentioned Jamal Musiala will carry on his legacy and inspire the next generation of German footballers.

Germany will missed out on one of the greatest player of all time, Thomas Muller. He's basically an important instrument for his club and country, although he's aged and no longer active in essential sectors, more comparable to pressing force. Thomas Muller have made public announcement, he has finally hang his boots when it comes to international games. He retire from international games and having full concentration on the big games at club level.

Thomas Muller have made great contributions to the German national team in his 129 appearances he played for the team and scored 45 goals so it's a very good achievement in his football career for his country and now that he has retired after the UEFA EURO competition, he will greatly be missed in the national team because throughout his international career he has been impactful in the German squad. He is 34 years and still have more playing time before his final retirement from football and he has been devoted to the Bayern Munich team both the Bayern division 2 and the Bayern junior team since the year 2000 till now which means that the German footballer's career has been within the circle of the Bayern clubs and since he joined the Bayern senior team in 2008 till date he has been very helpful. His retirement from international duty is his personal decision and I wish him well in the club's league side since all his focus will now be in the club matches.

Victor Osimhen at the Chelsea realistically looking possible but for this we have to go for some favor from the Napoli president which is insisting for the high fees which is not coming from any club and things are going tense day by day because we all know Osimhen wants to leave this club and having some other place for his rest of career, but Napoli management is not cutting about their asked price target which is creating problem even as things are going Napoli can take good advantage if they are having their policy soft about sell of this player, but personal ego is going to hurt all.

Antonio Conte which is now having new job as Napoli coach surely going to be had perfect if we have Osimhen for another season but as we have condition here at the Napoli it's looking not easy now we are having end of the Copa América and Euro 2024 which will bring more good options for the many clubs so we can hope this all will be also ended on positive.

There is no Chelsea in the hunt for Victor Osimhen now only PSG and Arab clubs are interested in the Nigerian player, but it would be a shame if Osimhen had to accept an offer from the Arabs at a young age he can still even shine in Europe, my opinion is that he will go to PSG towards the closing of the transfer window.

Although Fabrizio said there was no proposal submitted by PSG but so far seriously what I see, other news says if any center attacking player leaves PSG will focus on Osimhen then obviously he means Mbappe right?
So far the decision is in Napoli who want a high price for Osimhen so it could be that this negotiation will be even tougher.

I don't really think so, I think Chelsea is also in the mix, just that it's the high cost of his transfer that has put them off for now, but if the transfer fee is reduced a little bit, I believe that they will definitely make their interest official, then talking of PSG, I think he is more likely to sign there because they need someone big to fill the void left by Mbappe, so what they are just doing now is just evaluating their options, and be looking if they can get a cheaper deal by delaying their approach till the closing stage of the transfer window.

And for victor Osimhen, it's very obvious that he is not in Antoni Conte plan for next season, because by the look of things, he has already start making plans without him in the squad, which is very much understandable.

Chelsea are in the race to sign Osimhen. What is delaying them from the signing Osimhen is because of the €120m and €12m salary net, Napoli demands, which Chelsea management perceived as being expensive to sign Osimhen. Except when Napoli has a change of conditions deal, they will have Chelsea signing Osimhen, but if nothing changes towards the condition of the deal, Chelsea would back off from signing Osimhen. Any club that has such a huge amount to sign Osimhen for, would go ahead to sign him.

Nevertheless, I believe PSG or Chelsea would end up signing Osimhen before the end of the transfer window. So, no need for Conte to make plans to include Osimhen in the squad he wants to build as the new coach of Napoli, since both parties(Osimhen and Napoli) are parting ways soon

It's a big mistake for clubs to send players without making a profit and the clubs that do this are big clubs but they act in an amateurish way. Some clauses should be added to the contract in order to prevent behaviors that harm the club in star transfers. Big money is made under the name of signing money and clubs are prevented from making any profit from this situation. I'm not making an assessment of whether this behavior is right or wrong, but agent fees and signing bonuses prevent clubs from generating revenue.

It seems that Liverpool will not get any income from these players. Some clubs demand very high transfer fees from their players and never lower them. It is surprising that the club took this decision despite knowing that the players will leave the club after a year.

I hope Manchester United did not act too early like Hojlund. Of course, Zirkzee is a little better than Hojlund. I think Zirkzee can be successful in the EPL. A good transfer for Manchester United is on paper. I hope he can quickly adapt during the year and have a better year.

This Hojlund versus Zirkzee debate is heating up, and for good reason. Sure, both men have potential. Dont get ahead of ourselves. Zirkzee is talented yet fresh to the Premier League. He must prove he can handle the world's hardest league. Despite injuries, Hojlund has persevered. He's ahead.

You know what? Competition is good. It improves you. Makes you hungry. We need that at Manchester United. Guys who compete for their spot and push each other to be the best are needed.

If these two stay healthy, we have a one-two punch. Zirkzee has imagination and flare, Hojlund has speed and finishing. That mix is awesome.

Both strikers are have potentials and their ceilings are high. Manchester United have done a proper job to convince him to join the club. I think both Zirkzee and Hojlund will give Ten hag better options in the attack. 
Hojlund - Loves drifting to the channels..bullish and got a powerful technique. While Zirkzee employs a different style of play. He loves to drop  down the line and very good at combination. Rashford and Greenwood flanking Zirkzee would have been the best.
The space and linkup play Zirkzee creates coupled with Greenwood’s high finishing rate with both feet would have been so ideal. But Zirzkee can play anywhere across the front and Garnacho scores more on the right.
I think there is no issues. The Team will be well coached on scoring and utilization of third man runs.
I’m expecting a good season from Manchester if they get all their intented signings.

If a club does not put a player up for transfer, it means that it expects to renew the contract with him, but sometimes it happens that they are unable to agree on new terms of the contract with the player, when the player wants to receive more payment, or a longer contract and the club is not ready to give them such conditions. In this case, there is a risk of releasing the player as a free agent and, of course, this will be a big loss for the team. Sometimes this happens, but more often the teams manage to come to an agreement with the players.

[tygeade]

In my opinion, Musiala was one of the best players of the tournament. He played wonderfully and was one of the names I enjoyed watching, along with Yamal. Müller has achieved great things in the past, but now he too must gradually leave the scene. Great names are being produced in German actors and there is nothing natural about Müller leaving the stage to them. It was a good tournament, but it did not end well for the Germans.

Musiala is one of the best German prospects right now and the fact that Bayern already has him shows that he has a good future. He will be getting the best training he could possibly get, and he is playing one of the best teams ever so that means best staff and players around him, a lot of experience in every level, and he keeps being better and better.

He is still very young, imagine him playing until 30 here, that means he is going to be insane, thinking how much experience and training he would get there at that level, he could become one of the best German players ever, like not top 1, but could be top 10 by the time he hangs his boots. I think it is going to be something special to watch him, I would say he is at least as good as Jude.

Mbappè to Real Madrid, he will wear number 9, free agent yes but it is rumored to had a 100m € bonus.

And I think it will be the new trend now, let contract expires to have big money at the sign.

Today was all about Mbappe and Real Madrid, the long awaited transfer happened and he was unveiled today but what surprises me most is the fact that PSG actually let him go for free despite spending so much on him and also knowing that he still has many years to play active football. It doesn’t matter if bonuses are attached but they could have earned more if they had renewed his contract earlier. Its a big blow for them regardless of the bonus attached.

Germany will missed out on one of the greatest player of all time, Thomas Muller. He's basically an important instrument for his club and country, although he's aged and no longer active in essential sectors, more comparable to pressing force. Thomas Muller have made public announcement, he has finally hang his boots when it comes to international games. He retire from international games and having full concentration on the big games at club level.

He will be remembered as one of the greats of Germany, he has served his country well and it’s time to let the  youngsters take over. The future of Germany is in good hands, they have learned somethings from Kroos and Muller and will probably surpass them in future.

Actually, if Chelsea really wants Osimhen to be in their squad, I think it's still not a problem because for the current price problem it seems that Chelsea will not be responsible because seeing from the previous 2 seasons where they always spent very large sums of money it seems they have fallen and for what is minimizing finances at this time even though it is a little against FFP.

In addition, Napoli's interest in bringing Lukaku can also still be used as a good means to smooth out the wishes of Chelsea if indeed they want to bring Osimhen to Stamford Bridge. It's just that with the current situation it seems that it is clearly still a gray condition because Chelsea also still does not have that much interest in Osimhen, especially since there are already 3 players who have actually been inaugurated by Chelsea to strengthen the club next season.

[coinlocket$]

According to Fabrizio Romano, Lukaku give his avaiability to move away again from Chelsea.
Always according to him his priority is going to Napoli, but Napoli needs to sell Osimhen first.

The sell of Viktor can be very close since he basically skipping last day of training for some "problems".

Lukaku wants to play for Conte.

There are some players you cannot force to renew their contracts especially if they are important to the club. We saw that happen in the case of Mbappe in PSG where the club did everything possible to make him renew his contract but they failed. Players like Mo Salah and Van Dijk are senior players that Liverpool cannot force to renew their contracts. These players have also given the best service to Liverpool over the years so the club needs to respect their decisions. These players might not want to continue with Liverpool and renewing contracts might reduce the opportunity to attract better clubs or get a more lucrative contract.

The European Nations and Copa America really slowed the transfer market. Hopefully, activities in the market will increase in the next few weeks before the start of a new season.

Antonio Conte is ready to form a Napoli squad next season without Osimhen. that's why he plans and wants Napoli to bring in Lukaku as his replacement. But that doesn't mean Conte doesn't want Osimhen. It's just that we know that Osimhen and the Napoli club seem to have an agreement that means Osimhen can leave in the current transfer market. And Conte seemed to understand this from the moment he came to Napoli. But the problem is that osimhen is quite expensive and has made several clubs withdraw from the hunt. Even Arsenal, who were initially interested, have now withdrawn from the hunt. And it was also reported that Chelsea had withdrawn from the hunt for Osimhen. Meanwhile, regarding PSG, there is no clear news regarding them. It's just that PSG is definitely capable of bringing in Osimhen if they are serious about bringing him in.

The Euro is over. The Copa America is over. So, as long as this big tournament takes place, player monitoring activities are already underway. The usual player transfer activity will be active and every club will be busy with this business after the international break.
Liverpool has not seen any movement in taking action to recruit players. It is possible that they work secretly in monitoring and action.

[Alpha Marine]

It's a great trend, I think. Players are ordinary workers/asset owners and not slaves, so it is fair that they manage their labor, and not some “third parties”. It is clear that in the future we will still see cases where one club receives huge amounts of money simply for the fact that it breaks a contract with a player early, but in most cases, the beneficiaries will be the players themselves.

I don't see anything wrong with a club taking huge money for the sale of a player. They have a contract with that player and if the player wants to leave the club that wants him has to pay the asking price. If the player stays and sees out his contract then that's a win-win for both the player, and the clubs.
I also like the idea of a "release clause". This helps the player gain some money from the sale too. Why I like it because since the player has a contract with a club if another club wants him, you have to trigger his release clause.
Also, if the transfer of the player was not up to the club but to the player alone, the player can just negotiate with another club and agree to sign for them thereby disrupting the plans of his current club.

[AYOBA]

Actually, if Chelsea really wants Osimhen to be in their squad, I think it's still not a problem because for the current price problem it seems that Chelsea will not be responsible because seeing from the previous 2 seasons where they always spent very large sums of money it seems they have fallen and for what is minimizing finances at this time even though it is a little against FFP.

Chelsea really want Osimhen to be part of their squad and their very since on which they can definitely make that possible, although that after Chelsea are lack of financial after spent alot of money in previous yeas back, but for me i don't the financial is their main issues is just even when they're trying to sign a players, their not getting a better squad. That's why they performance is moving forward.

In addition, Napoli's interest in bringing Lukaku can also still be used as a good means to smooth out the wishes of Chelsea if indeed they want to bring Osimhen to Stamford Bridge. It's just that with the current situation it seems that it is clearly still a gray condition because Chelsea also still does not have that much interest in Osimhen, especially since there are already 3 players who have actually been inaugurated by Chelsea to strengthen the club next season.

If that can actually happen has Napoli is having interesting in sign the lukaku is fine, but still the lukaku will not make the team better like how the Osimhen turned the team to a very standard. However, for now Napoli will not know what the Osimhen have done to them till after he left the team that will latter regret about the him.

[Coyster]

According to Fabrizio Romano, Lukaku give his avaiability to move away again from Chelsea.

Lukaku has been moving on loan for a couple of years now, i hope he can finally be sold now and move away from Chelsea for good, all these different loan moves hasn't helped his career, though i know it is due to his transfer fee and salary/wages. If Napoli sell Osimhen, they will receive a lot of money from the transfer, so they should be able to use that and fund a transfer for Lukaku.

Some clubs have been doing their underground businesses but the Euro and Copa America have been slowing down the activity of many clubs. Apart from Chelsea and Manchester, no other top club has signed any player.Liverpool must recruit in key areas to be able to match the performances of Manchester City and Arsenal in their quest to win the title. Liverpool need like 2-3 new signings. We are yet to see what areas of the squad that Liverpool new manager would be keen to  strengthen before the start of the season. Liverpool are in need of a central defender and I know they’ll get one signed very soon.

In Mbappe’s case I would say PSG were just too stubborn not to cash in on the player, this was a player that had his intention known of playing at Real Madrid. Madrid came with bida then which were rumored to be around $180M but PSG were just optimistic they were gonna keep their man . They even offered him contract extension with some uncalled bonuses which later caused them problems because they couldn’t pay them off. Once a player has a year left on his contract the best is to first trigger the one year to increase which is mostly in players contracts now and start working on a new one or his departure. Many players have been lost to free transfer with the parent club trying to keep them, the best is to move on and get them sold.

As for Liverpool, seriously they look like a team that is still far from the players they should. Liverpool are still strongly to find replacement for their attacking players like Mane and Firmino who left and now they’ve the likes of Thiago Alcantara and Joel Matip also gone. Although they have youngsters than have actually stepped in this positions but they need experienced players to actually challenge for anything.

If Napoli sell Osimhen, they will receive a lot of money from the transfer, so they should be able to use that and fund a transfer for Lukaku.

Unless a team can pay almost 38 million euros for Lukaku. I don't think he will leave Chelsea this season. Chelsea is trying so hard to sell him since last season. But the deals always fail in the middle with other clubs.

The only problem is if nobody's keen to pay close to Chelsea's asking price. So, it takes some time for chelsea to sell Lukaku to another club. I must admit Lukaku isn't even needed in the blues, and it's best for him to help his career by leaving there.

But again, Napoli is unlikely to sell Osimhen. PSG is not keen on paying more than €100 million for him, then they must also agree to let Osimhen leave for 100 millions.

I think there is no club that can afford to pay beyond 100 millions. PSG is the only club offering this deal. It will help Napoli, a Naples club, get Lukaku from Chelsea.

Lukaku's future is really unclear after Chelsea loaned him out and now his performance has declined if you look at his time with the Belgian national team.
Napoli is one of the clubs most interested in buying Lukaku, but they are still waiting for Osimhen.
The high salary means that many clubs are not interested in him and that will influence why until now he has not been officially sold.

Napoli want Lukaku's services and they know that his experience can help the front line become better.
Especially if Osimhen leaves this season and they have Lukaku as an ideal replacement in attack. Napoli is one of the clubs most interested in Lukaku and we hope they can take quick steps.
