⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Jatiluhung]

Finally, there was a European team that proposed David De Gea after many offers from Arab Clubs and he rejected it now the opportunity is still there despite having to take a long absence from his career as a goalkeeper.
As he will soon sign his contract it seems from some news that their closeness is quite close meaning that there is an imminent agreement with Genoa, this club is also not too bad last season to be in the middle of the table.
I don't know if there's a drop in form or not we can judge now, maybe before Serie A starts we'll see this breaking news because obviously we want to know how he's performing.

Genoa currently needs a new goalkeeper. Because they have just sold their goalkeeper, Josep Martinez, to Inter Milan. And of course Genoa must immediately get a new goalkeeper for their team. And the news I heard was that Genoa had made an offer for De Gea but it didn't seem to go smoothly. Because it seems like De Gea is proposing a salary that is too high, Genoa really has to think twice about bringing in De Gea.

And in other news, I heard that because De Gea might not join Genoa, now this goalkeeper is rumored to have the potential to join a club from Laliga, namely Villareal. But that's just a rumor and there's no clarity at all.

Napoli are willing to accept Lukaku plus money in exchange for Osimhen to go to Chelsea and I think this will the best signing the Blues will do if it goes through because they are finally addressing their problem and going for it which is in the area of attack. I don't really understand why Todd Boehly is dragging his feet on this transfer and hasn't splashed money yet cause this is a fair deal for me. From how clubs are looking for the services of good strikers, such an offer will be gobbled up without thinking and I hope they don't lose out on this one.

Good news, but it was not a straight swap between Osimhen and Lukaku. There may be some money involved. Also, Napoli might ask Chelsea for another player. Napoli wants to sign Lukaku ASAP, per Conte's request. But let's see how much they want for Osimhen.

I think Todd boehly was waiting for Napoli to decrease their price tag for Osimhen, and finally they did it. I heard that Napoli has lowered its price for Osimhen. Chelsea may be reconsidering its swap offer. Glad to see Napoli is now using its sense to let Osimhen leave the club.

The way I see it, Conte is desperate to ship off Osimhen and will accept  any offer, no matter how absurd to get him but in the aspect of reducing the fee like Todd Boehly is expecting, I don't think it's going to work because by reducing the price tag of one of the best ( if not the best strikers ) you've got at Napoli will certainly set tongues wagging and I don't think Antonio Conte is willing to risk that happening so a deal that includes Osimhen plus cash seems fair but it would be very bad to let the player go just the way they are desperately trying to do after all he did for the club, at least let there be some form of regard or respect for the player.
 If not that a player like Lukaku is involved I believe other EPL clubs would have jumped into the deal and snatch it off from Chelsea because it seems the Blues are still waiting for the price tag to be very low like they can't pay, to me is not right the way the Napoli side are taking this deal.

Genoa must have considered their decision when they let Josep Martinez go to Inter Milan and as we can see now they still have 3 goalkeepers in the squad meaning if they don't find a new goalkeeper in this transfer window it's not a big problem there are still other goalkeepers who can be relied on. I wonder why they are trying to sign De Gea even though we know the reason De Gea left Manchester United was his salary, could it be that Genoa thought that after a season without a club De Gea would ask for a lower salary?

We all know De Gea still has great abilities as a goalkeeper even though he is 33 years old it's just that salary is the main obstacle for every club that fails to bring him in. De Gea only chance of earning a high salary is to move to the Saudi Pro League while clubs from other leagues will not be willing to pay more for older players.

Well, Genoa still has 3 goalkeepers in their squad, namely Nicola Leali, Franz Stolz, and Daniele Sommariva. But I was happy to hear there was more talk about De Gea which I had almost forgotten about. And you are right that the reason De Gea has difficulty finding a new club is also because this goalkeeper always demands a fairly high salary. I understand because he really has quality and long experience with a big club like Manchester United. But I think that because he is no longer young, he should be more open to offers that might even be below the salary he expects. Previously, he left Manchester United because at that time Manchester United was going to extend his contract there, but at that time Manchester United would also reduce his salary at that club. And at that time De Gea decided not to extend his contract at Manchester United and finally left after his contract ended.

And in other news, I heard that because De Gea might not join Genoa, now this goalkeeper is rumored to have the potential to join a club from Laliga, namely Villareal. But that's just a rumor and there's no clarity at all.

I hope De Gea will soon find a club that suits him again. And I think joining a La Liga club is a good thing. But I'm not sure Villareal will sign him. Although currently Villareal has the potential to lose their potential goalkeeper. And surely after that they will look for a new goalkeeper but I'm not sure the choice will be De Gea.

[tottong]

Is Ironic his replacement has not really been doing well, though ignoring his drama with Manchester United I think he should lower his wages for at least a season or two in order to prove he still in good shape to earn more because I think even Saudi teams won't really give him an high wage as he ought to have earn except he can prove he still got his skill in him.

De Gea has a salary value that must be paid by Manchester United is too big so the management decided not to extend his contract after negotiating a salary reduction.
But did not get a decision because De Gea himself still insisted on not wanting his salary reduced.
If you look at De Gea's ability, it was still quite good before his contract ended and he even became an irreplaceable goalkeeper at Old Trafford. The arrival of Onana changed everything even though if you look at the abilities of both of them I can say De Gea is a little better.

Rumors are circulating that De Gea is getting some proposals now and there are several teams interested in recruiting him.
But if he asks for a big salary, the Saudi Arabian League is much more capable than joining a European club with the hope of a big salary.

You are right, it seems that Genoa are not in a condition that requires them to quickly look for a new goalkeeper because they still have 3 goalkeepers in their squad. I just found out about this. This means that previously Genoa had 4 goalkeepers in their squad. But I don't understand their steps in immediately making an offer to De Gea even though in the end it doesn't seem to go smoothly. Maybe Genoa will also plan to release their other goalkeeper. Because one of their goalkeepers, Daniele Sommariva, seems to only have 1 season left at Genoa. Meanwhile, the other two goalkeepers still have quite long contracts because some still have contracts until 2026 and 2027.

It seems that the large salary that De Gea wants is indeed a factor that makes other clubs not approach this player. Because so far I think it's rare to hear an offer for De Gea has been reported. But last season it was reported that a number of Arab clubs were interested in De Gea. But I haven't heard back this season. Or maybe I missed it.

Reportedly because the salary request was too high, Genoa did not sign De Gea. It looks like we will see De Gea not playing for any club next season again, it's a shame that at his productive age he won't play. He is too adamant about his market value, even though if he played for any club, he could prove his performance so that big clubs would want to sign him with a high salary.

Genoa can rely on the goalkeepers they have in their squad after letting Josep Martinez go to Inter Milan, giving the goalkeeper they still have a chance is better than bringing in David de Gea who wants a bigger salary than what they are offering. It seems David de Gea has forgotten his age, he is now 33 years old and has been out of the game for a year. The offer from Genoa was a bright spot for him to return to playing, but because he felt he was a great goalkeeper, he still wanted a large salary.

If he wants a big salary, he can get it in the Saudi Pro League, there he can get what he wants including other facilities offered. At the age of 33, it is very difficult to find a club that is willing to fulfill all his wishes, it seems he will return to training alone if his salary is not lowered.

Sometime, we as humans, mostly sane individuals should use our tongue to count our teeth, and that is what I mostly expect from David de gea, but he is not doing that, since he left Manchester united he hasn't had a club he is plying his trade because his salary demand is too high, something that has really gotten me surprised, because he should have known by now that their are few clubs that can afford such high salary earner, and since such clubs aren't coming for his signature, the logical thing to do is for him to reduce his demand if he truly want to continue being a professional footballer, because for him to stay without a club for two seasons now, is absolutely disastrous to his career.

Lastly, just as you rightfully pointed out, it's only clubs from Saudi Arabia that would want to spend so much money on him now, because am quite sure that top clubs in Europe wouldn't spend so much on a goalkeeper salary right now, so the best thing he should do to salvage his failing career is for him to reduce is wage demands, so that smaller clubs can afford him.

According to Fabrizio, Genoa will no longer pursue De Gea for reasons we already know and Genoa's next plan will be to try to recruit Pierluigi Gollini from Atalanta and is currently undergoing a medical.
This might make more sense than making an offer to a player who is arrogant and demands a very high price.
De Gea should be happier that there is still a club that believes in him but it is De Gea himself who has broken that trust.

Pierluigi Gollini might be more suitable as an alternative to replace the goalkeeper who has just left the club.

There are huge salary awaiting the spaniard goalkeeper but due to his standards and his non-involvement with players, he's out of reach and his country didn't call him. We believe DDG and his agent are working effortlessly to ensure they secured a deal that's worthy. Precisely, not a good thing to see David De Gea is without a club in the current days. He's basically productive for his former club, Manchester United
David De Gea doesn't want to reduce his market value.

There is interest from the Saudi pro league where Al-Hilal wants Vitor Roque from Barcelona and many reports say that Barcelona is open to selling him if there is an offer of more than 30 million euros. No one expected that what was initially thought to be Barcelona's wonderkid is now nothing more than just a source of fresh funds for their next target and as we know, Barcelona currently needs additional funds to realize Nico Williams.

Maybe Vitor Roque's fate is not so lucky because since his arrival at Barcelona, ​​he has not received Xavi's trust at all and finally now he has started to be sidelined and cannot even compete for a starting position. His journey to find a bright path at Barcelona will be increasingly difficult in front of the new coach Hansi Flick who we know is very disciplined and will always choose players according to his plans well. Now the decision depends on Vitor Roque and also on Al-Hilal whether they can pay more than Barcelona wants to smooth this transfer.

Vitor Roque can still take his career to a better position if he gets a chance to play for a European club. The player has had to sit on the bench most of the time for Barcelona, due to which he has never been able to make full use of his skills. Now if an offer comes to him from the Saudi League and if Barcelona sells him to the Saudi club Al Hilal for 30 million euros, even if he performs well there, his career will not be bright. Basically, if he performs well for European clubs, that performance is discussed, but no matter how well he performs in the Saudi League, the football media will not discuss much about that performance. Now the decision is in his hands, if there are offers for him from other European clubs and if the offer is low then he should stay in Europe and try to take his career to a better level.

But in the end everything will also be a little complicated if in the end De Gea does not try to lower the salary he has.
Problems in Genoa can actually be anticipated if De Gea is ready with the salary that Genoa is willing to pay but De Gea remains with his stance where he wants a bigger salary according to his capabilities in the last few seasons which makes this complicated and this could also affect him if he is at Villarreal.

At this time it is undeniable that De Gea could have returned to being a professional player after last season he could not be in the club because no one dared to sign him but in the end he also had to realize that the salary demands he gave had to match what had happened to him.
De Gea must be smart to choose a club seriously and accept a salary that suits his current proportions if indeed he still wants to keep playing football in major competitions in Europe unless maybe if the offer is from MLS or SPL it will be a different story.

No one expected that what was initially thought to be Barcelona's wonderkid is now nothing more than just a source of fresh funds for their next target and as we know, Barcelona currently needs additional funds to realize Nico Williams.

It is another bad transfer move for Barcelona.    They signed Roque for 40 million euros only six months ago. Now he is about to say goodbye because of turning out to be not good enough to meet the expectations.

They have bad scouts or what? They really need to make a big improvement in their transfer policies. They just spend lots of money on players carelessly and there have been many times they regretted for that. This is the main reason why their finances got this bad as well you know. If they learn to manage their money more efficiently it is still possible to bring back those good old days. But they need quite much time for that considering how big the problem is.

Napoli are willing to accept Lukaku plus money in exchange for Osimhen to go to Chelsea and I think this will the best signing the Blues will do if it goes through because they are finally addressing their problem and going for it which is in the area of attack. I don't really understand why Todd Boehly is dragging his feet on this transfer and hasn't splashed money yet cause this is a fair deal for me. From how clubs are looking for the services of good strikers, such an offer will be gobbled up without thinking and I hope they don't lose out on this one.

Good news, but it was not a straight swap between Osimhen and Lukaku. There may be some money involved. Also, Napoli might ask Chelsea for another player. Napoli wants to sign Lukaku ASAP, per Conte's request. But let's see how much they want for Osimhen.

I think Todd boehly was waiting for Napoli to decrease their price tag for Osimhen, and finally they did it. I heard that Napoli has lowered its price for Osimhen. Chelsea may be reconsidering its swap offer. Glad to see Napoli is now using its sense to let Osimhen leave the club.

The way I see it, Conte is desperate to ship off Osimhen and will accept  any offer, no matter how absurd to get him but in the aspect of reducing the fee like Todd Boehly is expecting, I don't think it's going to work because by reducing the price tag of one of the best ( if not the best strikers ) you've got at Napoli will certainly set tongues wagging and I don't think Antonio Conte is willing to risk that happening so a deal that includes Osimhen plus cash seems fair but it would be very bad to let the player go just the way they are desperately trying to do after all he did for the club, at least let there be some form of regard or respect for the player.
 If not that a player like Lukaku is involved I believe other EPL clubs would have jumped into the deal and snatch it off from Chelsea because it seems the Blues are still waiting for the price tag to be very low like they can't pay, to me is not right the way the Napoli side are taking this deal.

Let’s be realistic here. I know some clubs won’t mind buying Osimhen. But as you can see, no one is willing to spend €120m or so on him. Chelsea are likely to get him on loan + option to buy. This is even possible because Conte wants Lukaku(a player they have tried all their best to get rid off) if Lukaku wasn’t in the Picture, Napoli won’t even entertain the loan discussion. PSG were interested in the deal to bring him to Paris, but the deal suffered a setback. They were adding players to the Osimhen's deal and Napoli indicated interest in one of the players offered I.e. Lee Kang-in, but it didn’t make sense to spend that heavy on just one player.

I think it’ll be a very good deal for Chelsea if they get Osimhen. What is missing in this Chelsea team is a quality striker. Someone that can give 20 league goals in a season. They have a good creative system, so he’ll adapt easily.

This rumor was immediately broken because it looks like Victor Roque will still continue to be at Barcelona because even though there is a tempting offer for Roque at Al Hilal and surely the salary that will be given is also no joke but it looks like Victor Roque does not want to just give up after the Barcelona coach changes.

Vitor Roque is not ready to throw in the towel at Barcelona amid a big offer from Saudi Arabia and expected attacking signings this summer.

He seems to want to try new luck in the Hansi Flick era so he will remain at Barcelona and hope to get more opportunities next season unlike what happened in the Xavi era where he did not get enough time. But the SPL always have a way if they really want to sign players so it is not impossible that there will be another bigger offer later for Roque after this rejection.

He is too adamant about his market value, even though if he played for any club, he could prove his performance so that big clubs would want to sign him with a high salary.

That's the problem. De Gea expected a Man United-level salary from a lesser club. It's nonsense to hear De Gea was still waiting for a big-money offer like he had at Manchester United. Also, he hasn't played in a year and is 33 years old. Basically, De Gea has finished at the top level.



As per Romano, Genoa signed Gollini to be a new goalkeeper from Atalanta. It's saddening to me how De Gea was too naive by putting a very high wage for his service. He could play if he were not being so naive by putting a very high wage.

Nobody wants to pay that wage for De Gea, and the only chance for De Gea to come back to football is by decreasing his wage.

[joniboini]

It's saddening to me how De Gea was too naive by putting a very high wage for his service. He could play if he were not being so naive by putting a very high wage.

Where is the primary source for this? Seems like some websites re-posted what SkySports posted about De Gea transfer, and it's unclear what number is requested by him. I guess he's not really prioritizing game play time but money, which is understandable IMO. Whether it was caused by ego or because of something else, he'll definitely lower his demand if he feels like he need the money to live comfortably for the next years or so. CMIIW.

[Leviathan.007]

In Barcelona, since Flick joined this team, they have been trying to hire players and they want to get the team improved. Dani Olmo is the player they wanted to hire this player for the next season.
His good performance in Leipzig made Barcelona send him an offer.
But it seems the offer was not good enough and Leipzig said they would let his god for 60 million euros while Barcelona wanted to give 45 million euros.
