⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Pandorak]

[...]

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.

Athletes are only productive when they get a contract at a club, by him not wanting to get or sign a contract, De Gea is wasting his life, imagine him being like this until he is 38, is he even getting the same value as Genoa is offering? i'm not sure. From the existing news, he has 3 contract offers, if one of them is not executed immediately, i don't know what else to say to De Gea, he can be said to be an arrogant player in terms of business.

Osimhen to Chelsea? Could this happen with a Lukaku swap?

Napoli have had more detailed discussions about this deal and Chelsea seem very open as long as they benefit. Lukaku's transfer process is still not finished and here Napoli directly made an offer that was difficult for Chelsea to refuse where by only giving Lukaku, Chelsea would have the opportunity to get Osimhen permanently.

Well, this will be even more interesting but of course it is not easy and here Osimhen is reported to be loaned to Chelsea first but Chelsea has a buy option at the end of the loan period. Surely Chelsea will be very happy to pay the fee Napoli wants as long as it doesn't drain their pockets and of course with the Lukaku swap, Osimhen's price will be cheaper.

How do you see the exchange of players between these two clubs? Is Napoli too careless to let go of Osimhen?

Even if Maguire performance has showed positive improvement. I personally think his performance is still below the level what we expected. Maguire has the highest salary of the defender in Man United, Man United bought him with huge money. This player should show something special in the field, but mostly he showed a controversial thing. If I were Man United board, I will prefer selling Maguire because he is mostly used as a substituted player in Man United squad now. Since Man United already has Yoro, I guess Man United will plan to set Lisandro Martínez and Leny Yoro as their main centre-backs.

This can be the lineup of Man United for the season 2024-2025

What improvements and development please? I'm not pained, but there's nothing good Harry Maguire has got to offer Manchester United. Manchester United fans backing him up should be ashamed of themselves. Really, they're forgetting what it means to have standards.

He has never been a great player, forget the media hype's and all sky sports did during his last few days with Leicester City. I never fancied him. When you look at great defenders like Maldini, Nesta, Vidic, John Terry, you'll never call Harry Maguire a great defender. He is not a special player, he has nothing special to offer Manchester United. Take a look at his payroll and he is the fourth choice defender for Manchester United. Ain't that laughable?

As much as they can get de Ligt from Bayern Munich, I don't see him starting for Erik Ten Hag. He would only get chances during the EFL Cup Competition and also the Fa Cup Competition.
There's nothing cool about the above Manchester United squad depth, don't deceive yourself. It's be another season in shambles if they don't get Erik Ten Hag quality players. Erik Ten Hag is not a bad manager, I'm hoping the targeted players are brought in before the next two weeks.

The current era of football will be quite difficult to survive if you do not follow the new rules of the club. Manchester United is already in the hands of different people and De Gea can no longer maintain the same principles so when offered the option of a salary reduction he refused. Now it can be said that De Gea is not very marketable in the market, except for Saudi Arabian clubs and European clubs who are loyal and want to get his signature. In the EPL everything has changed so I don't see De Gea future in the Premier League. He is still 33 years old and in terms of productivity is still worthy in Europe but no longer in the Premier League.

Maybe in the future Bayern Munich has interest as an option to replace Manuel Neuer. It would be great if that happened but the Saudi Arabian Club could get De Gea much faster.

After his departure from Manchester United until now, De Gea has not yet found team again and there have been several reports circulating stating that he will return to Manchester United but in reality it has failed.
Apart from that, there is also news that mentions Genoa interest in bringing in De Gea because they had previously sold Josep Martinez to Inter Milan, but unfortunately it came back again and again, as was the case some time ago, where they failed to reach an agreement.
Everything happened because of salary issues and indeed De Gea, who is one of Europe top goalkeepers, is among the goalkeepers with quite high salaries, no team can afford to pay him except for the big team and the Saudi team.

For Bayern Munich itself, I sure he will be able to provide the salary that De Gea is asking for, but the problem is whether they will really have an interest in bringing in De Gea.
I not sure this will happen and the only immediate option to reach an agreement with De Gea is the Saudi team.

How do you see the exchange of players between these two clubs? Is Napoli too careless to let go of Osimhen?

According to reports, Napoli is offering Victor Osimhen on loan in exchange for a permanent deal for Romelu Lukaku. The deal might be for one year with a clause for a permanent deal if Chelsea qualifies for the Champions League. Lukaku's wage is about £325,000 a week and Chelsea will be willing to offload him. The Belgian international has already accepted to take a pay cut in Napoli and a three-year contract.

The problem now is the willingness of Victor to move to London after he has had an agreement with PSG. He would prefer to move to France since they will be playing in the UCL. But if PSG is not coming up with a convincing deal, the Nigerian might have to take any contract he gets from any club in Europe. Chelsea's performance in the preseason has shown that they need to have a natural striker.

It seems to me that there are too many components to this transfer, that's why it will be so difficult to implement, sometimes even just a transfer is difficult to do, because there are too many conditions on both sides, and here there are two players and two teams and it will be very difficult to take everything into account in order to come to a single agreement.
The main snag in this deal is Osimhen, who only wants to move to a top club, he is not considering options with Saudi Arabia, and PSG are not ready to pay 130 million for him, which is obviously too high a price. So far I do not believe that this transfer with exchanges can take place, this is more for discussion in the press.

[Mr.right85]

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.

 

Barcelona are in a very tight position at the moment. They want to bring in some players but they don’t have the finances to do so.€45m is a lot of money for them and I don’t even think they can play that outrightly at the moment. It will have to be structured and with threads of clauses.
Dani Olmo is a very decent player that would fancy a move to Barcelona but I don’t know if it’ll materialize. Barcelona will have to negotiate with Leipzig if they really want to sign him. I think the only realistic hope of Barcelona getting him will require them to sell off some players in other to pursue this deal, and they’re looking to sell Raphinha, but the asking fee will chase away many clubs that are interested in the player.

De Gea back? is this real? of course it will still be news that makes us curious.

As has been reported if De Gea will go to Italy to sign a contract with Genoa and with this he can enjoy his activities as a professional football player again. It is not easy for a goalkeeper who is still good enough for the European level and I hope this can give a different color to his career.

If this process goes well then it is certain that De Gea will not waste his time anymore to continue doing individual training and he can provide his experience to a different league that he has never visited. I think Genoa has made the right move by recruiting De Gea after their previous goalkeeper Josep Martinez joined Inter some time ago.

Genoa seems like not the level of team he should be playing, and I never understood why he said no to Saudi Arabia if he is going to play at Genoa level club, I thought he said no to many teams last year, just because he wanted to play at a decent team, and missing a whole season is not really worth playing at Genoa to be fair.

If he wanted this level, he could have played at Genoa level team last season as well, I am sure there were many offers. If he comes back now, and plays there, I am sure that he will be more than good enough but it is going to be weird for him, going from being a great United goalkeeper to a player nobody wanted for a whole year so he ended up with genoa instead, that ain't really that great at all.

Hopefully, he could at least prove himself and get a few more seasons at a better team after this. If not, might as well go to Saudi league, so he could get some good amount of money as well, that would definitely help them. Not saying that he is going to be great, we could end up with something much better with time, it is going to be something that will be taking a little bit of time but it could very well happen for him, and could make a lot of money there.

Of course it's not about money or having a lot of money when accepting an offer from a club from Saudi Arabia, and this is a matter of the player's desire when he still wants to play in Europe so it's natural for players to reject clubs from Saudi Arabia, Genoa is a big Italian club, it's no wonder that De Gea got an offer from Genoa which according to Genoa he still has good quality of play so I think it's right for De Gea to play in Italy.

Because we know that the Serie A competition is in its best condition in several competitions in general, plus the tight competition at the top of Serie A in fighting for the title, and many players are involved in Serie A in enlivening this competition.

Rumors: Man United will buy Manuel Ugarte. Manuel Ugarte is a PSG midfielder, Ten Hag seems to have put Manuel Ugarte on the main transfer list after the 5 transfers he made. But Man United have to sell one of their midfielders to be able to get him. Casemiro is reportedly interested in Arab clubs, while Scott McTominay is interested in Fulham. There are indeed several players who are interested by other clubs, Ten Hag seems to be going to sell one of them.  Because Man United had to pay £59 million to buy Manuel Ugarte.

Source: https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1929613/Man-Utd-transfer-news-Manuel-Ugarte

It's gonna be a very easy task for United to recruit Ugarte from PSG. Ugarte reached a personal term with Manchester United last week. Talks on the contract are still ongoing. Things get easier for United to get Ugarte because of Mendes is also his agent. Ugarte is under the same agent as Leny Yoro.

About which player to sell, I'd prefer Manchester United to sell Casemiro, not Tominay. Though Ten Hag's project doesn't include them, Tominay is still useful. Casemiro is finished now, and it's time for Manchester United to cash in on him. I remember some rumor that Al Nassr prepared €100 million to get Casemiro from United.

That's enough to say, United can get Ugarte + some cash after they cash in Casemiro. A worthy strategy to try.

De Gea still feels like a great goalkeeper, but age can affect his performance. De Gea demands for a large salary are unreasonable as he ages. Luckily there are still clubs in Europe like Genoa who compete in Serie A who want to use his services even though he was absent for a season. He has to lower his rates if he wants to get a club soon, if he wants to play for a bigger club, it is clearly impossible because he is already 33 years old. The three offers that came his way should be considered, he can still make money even if it is not according to what he wants rather than having to add another season to his rest period.

It's a big joke if Al Nassr want to spend 100 Million Euros for Casemiro, I believe Manchester United would release Casemiro ASAP for such amount since his market value is only 25 Million Euros, so Manchester United will earn three times.

Ugarte is actually a defensive midfielder and his performance is good too, he's consistent enough since he can perform in both Sporting CP and PSG. He's a good replacement for Casemiro.

How do you see the exchange of players between these two clubs? Is Napoli too careless to let go of Osimhen?

I think about this exchange is news that is only made up by the media I just read the latest news on Fabrizio Romano's tweet that the Oshimen exchange is not something that is really valid, maybe this is beneficial for both parties Napoli get Lukaku and Chelsea get Victor Oshimen but what about Oshimen's feelings? loan option? I think this is too ridiculous Victor Oshimen is a star player being a loan player is the same as insulting this player like a wasted player, it would be better if Chelsea made an exchange with Lukaku but cut directly with Oshimen's price clause and bought him so that Oshimen can be more appreciated and Napoli also gets benefits while getting Lukaku.

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.

You're right. It will be too much for any team to splash such an amount for a player who hasn't been on his best lately but this is not just any other player and I feel they will benefit more if they just buy him since they can afford it. Is it now they want to be cautious by taking him on loan with an option to buy? It's as if they don't want a situation where they will regret the purchase if he doesn't live up to expectations but I don't think Osimhen will disappoint if he comes to Chelsea cause he'd have good feeders of the ball and we know how good he is at finishing unlike Jackson who wastes chances.

The main problem currently that is making it difficult for Napoli to let go of Osimhen is that the price set by them is very high and for players who have only shown their best performance in the last 4 seasons of course that price doesn't make sense, Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG are the teams that previously really wanted to recruit osimhen but the three teams actually preferred not to continue negotiations after hearing the price they had set, In fact if PSG wanted to, of course it wouldn't be difficult for them to meet the price request because of the financial strength they have, but it seems like PSG has other reasons for not wanting to fulfill Napoli request even firmly refused to include Lee Kang-in in the deal.
While for Chelsea, haven't they previously refused to loan Lukaku back and preferred to sell him permanently to clubs who are currently interested? Currently, Napoli seems to be running out of ideas to sell Osimhen, so if now they want to try borrowing and trading osimhen for Lukaku, but on the other hand, currently Chelsea has brought in a lot of players and they also must to spend a lot of money to borrow Osimhen, then will that be the be a profitable option for Chelsea?

[Alpha Marine]

Casemiro has to go, although he has been of on the top performers in Manchester United since joining them. But he is already getting old and he has been having injury problems lately, It won't be a difficult decision for Ten Hag to make. Manchester United midfield need a fresh leg, and if I am to choose between Scott McTominay and Casemiro I will choose McTominay and let let Casemiro go. But if Manchester

I don't believe Casemiro has been a top performer for Manchester United since joining. In my honest opinion, I think he has been average. He was signed with a lot of money and made the highest-paid player in the team so he had to deliver, but he didn't. He makes a lot of mistakes and is always just ball-watching. When he's not ball-watching he commits unnecessary fouls that lead to straight red cards or second yellows, no discipline whatsoever.

I agree with you that if a player is to be kept between Casemiro and McTominey, I'd choose McTominey. McTominey is young and strong and a hard worker. He also adds goals to his game from time to time. He's not world-class, but he's a decent player when he's focused. But it seems he's on his way out of the club. He's bor a player that would lack teams to join. So many teams in the EPL would want his signature.

I kind of think Napoli is playing games with this Osimhen's deal and wants to profit heavily, Well, wouldn't be in support that Chelsea should go for a loan deal for Osimhen as supposed completely signing of the young star, However, if Napoli isn't interested in selling the young player then the best thing Chelsea should do, is to shun this deal and look for strikers elsewhere who can fit into the club and give the desired result, and besides Osimhen isn't in his best form to be placed on such a high price for buyers, I believe Napoli know what is good for them since none of parties interested don't agree their terms of business.

This report or news seems to be fake to me.Osimhen did so well at his club,but I didn't see that type of performance when he is putting on his country's Jersey.Some days ago,it was reported that Osimhen is on the verge of joining PSG,however,news have come out today that the deal did not materialise,the reason is what we don't know,but i am aware of the fact that most coaches won't like to work with Osimhen because of his arrogance.
He disrespected his National team coach Finidi,and that alone is the reason why teams won't go for him that much this summer.

Kylian Mbappé buys shares at France ligue 2 club CAEN

Link: https://www.goal.com/en-ng/lists/kylian-mbappe-buys-own-club-real-madrid-star-majority-stake-ligue-2-caen/blt6cf397c0690cb725#csbdcf60dd4cd71fe2

I came across this news in goal.com about Kylian Mbappé buying shares worth €20million in CAEN which is the highest while Pierre-Antin Capton takes the remaining shares of €5 million. I commend the move by the France and Real Madrid international footballer Kylian Mbappé for making the move to own a club of his own by owning the highest stakes in CAEN it's indeed a welcome achievement and I like his style of investment because for a young player like Mbappé to think of buying this huge shares means that the France International is very interested in taking his football career to another dimension, imagine being a player and also owning a club of your own and considering how young the player is, he can even decide to play for his own club in the future so i applaud his bravery at this young age.

What are your thoughts about the recent achievement of Kylian Mbappé?

Rumors about the transfer of Nico Williams now Barcelona almost gave up because there was no more concrete decision, the news also originated from pressure from his own family and club which made it difficult for Barcelona to get the Spanish player.

This means that the Dani Olmo option will now start because this is the second option after Nico Williams failed.
After this news PSG became a priority to recruit Nico Williams, according to the club Enrique can convince the player, meaning that this will rule out Victor Osimhen who is also rumored to be a top priority?
