⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Xcode7]

Looking for a reliable source for Pierluigi Gollini news & finding it in the Italian media ^[1], Pierluigi Gollini is on loan from Atalanta and is undergoing medical tests, this makes the answer to our question about whether De Gea will go to Genoa or not already answered. The problem is just about the salary, whether when he is not an active player he can earn even $10,000 per week, i don't think so.

With free agent status, the longer he will be invisible in the industry, this is dangerous for him from a performance side or a financial side.

Salary is the main problem and De Gea still does not want to play with a small salary even though he is currently without a team.
This is a bit surprising but it seems that De Gea does not have a big desire to play football anymore, he only thinks about money and on the other hand he also does not have a team which makes his name even dimmer in the world of football.

Some media say that the negotiations between De Gea and Genoa are in danger of failing because De Gea is asking for an unreasonable salary.

[Oluwa-btc]

With Chelsea eager for a striker, Napoli is playing hardball and smells blood. That exorbitant price is like robbing them blind. However, Osimhen is worth every penny. The man is a beast on the pitch and improving

Chelsea is rightfully cautious. Dropping that much money without understanding how he fits in the Premier League is risky. Loan-with-option to buy? Smart move. Chelsea may test the waters before committing. For Osimhen? It's his time to prove he can rule the world's toughest league

Now, Osimhen's agent is guarding his secrets. He won't let Napoli abuse his client. Napoli must also pay its debts. It costs money to get Lukaku. Either lower their pricing or get inventive with the deal

Victor Oshime remains the right pal for Chelsea. Didier Drogba knows it, same with John Mikel Obi. These are both legends of Chelsea pushing for the Nigerian International to join them. The valuation I'd say is outrageous, even Paris Saint Germany with all of the money refused doing it. Top man, he's gonna be an upgrade of Nicholas Jackson if the deal gets done completely.

Cautious? Chelsea are gradually turning into a profit making club. It's the reason why they have it difficult bringing Victor Oshime. Though, I'd say Napoli are not doing things well. They should try to get shit done since he has no such plans to remain with them.

Well, things are not progressing forward and swiftly so he has to keep things underground. It's a good way to go about it. But then, I'd love to see Victor Oshime in the Premier League Competition.

[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.

 

Dani Olmo is a young striker from the Spanish team who Barcelona are currently looking to sign for their club. The current market value of this player is not much considering his performance and skills but I don't understand why Barcelona would not want to buy this player for 60 million euros. However, if Barcelona offered the player 45 million euros as opposed to 60 million in Europe, the deal would likely be successful. If Dani Olmo's current club lowers his market value a bit and if Barcelona are interested in buying him for a little more money, then it will be seen that the price compromise has been made due to the sacrifices of the two and then the deal will be easier for Barcelona. Barcelona have sold several players this season and on the contrary they are trying to buy this player which looks like Barcelona are not out of the competition.

Leipzig will not let go of Dani Olmo if Barcelona doesn’t pay what they’re asking for. Bayern Munich are also interested in signing him but I’m convinced that he’ll prefer Barcelona. They’re also interested in signing Nico Williams, and he also want to join them.
Barcelona isn’t in a good financial position to get these deals done. He’s an important player for Leipzig, they will not agree a lesser fee for him. Imo, I don’t think they really want to negotiate with Barcelona, they prefer to sell to another club but it looks that Bayern Munich are not serious about signing him.
Barcelona will try again with an improved proposal but I’m am not sure the second one will be accepted because they don’t want what Barcelona are offering which is structured payments, spread over the years.

[Justbillywitt]

Napoli are looking to offload the Nigerian but with that price tag no club would want to pay due to how Osihmen didn’t perform well last season, they need to lower their asking price to actually get anything from him.

Napoli are asking for too much and that is why the deal has not progressed, Victor Osimhen has already personally agreed with PSG, but the clubs can't seem to agree and the deal might fall through soon. That being said, i don't know if Napoli are doing this, just to eventually sell the Nigerian to Saudi Arabia, because it looks like only the Saudis can afford their valuation of Victor Osimhen.

Napoli has realized they are asking too much for Osimhen. They have announced a price cut. However, it is too late for Napoli to take such a decision considering PSG has lost interest in Osimhen. Also, they only want to pay €60 million for him. I think Napoli has no interest in selling Osimhen to PSG.

And this is why Napoli is now prioritizing the swap deal with Chelsea. It's impossible to sell Osimhen to the Saudi because Osimhen is never keen to join the Saudi Pro League. I know Saudi can afford his price, but it's very obvious Osimhen is gonna reject any offer that comes from Saudi.

A year ago, Osimhen has rejected Al hilal's offer.

Napoli has no option than to reduce the price they were previously demanding for Victor Osimhen, unless they want him to remain with them for the coming season. But it's obvious that Napoli want to get rid of him immediately. This is what greed has caused Napoli, they had the chance to sell Osimhen in the past but their greed to get a higher fee made them to refuse every approach for him as of that time. It's simple to explain why they are prioritizing the swap deal with Chelsea, Napoli wants Lukaku who is a Chelsea player and Chelsea wants Osimhen, but the only hindrance why the deal hasn't materialized till now is the huge fee Napoli was asking, but now that they have seen that not many clubs are interested in signing him apart from Chelsea and PSG. And at the moment it seems that PSG are backing off from the deal, so Chelsea looks like the only interested party. Since they have what Chelsea wants and Chelsea have what they want, the swap deal is the only possible way out for both clubs.

I think loaning Osimhen out is a pretty bad option. Because instead of loaning him out, it would be better for Napoli to continue using this player if he is not sold in this transfer market. Because if Osimhen is able to contribute more, it is possible that next season every club will no longer hesitate to bring in this player. Or Napoli could also choose to let him go to PSG, who are ready to bring in this player permanently even though the price is below what Napoli wants. Even PSG also offered several of their players as additional players. So I feel like that's a better deal.

And it seems that the news regarding this lending option is also just hoax news. At least that's what I read from the latest news that passes by my window.
(Sourch: https://banjarmasin.tribunnews.com/2024/07/31/isu-pertukaran-lukaku-dan-osimhen-antara-chelsea-dan-napoli-akhirnya-terkawab-fans-pantas-kecewa?page=2)

It seems you are right sir. Because I was also trying to find out about this problem and I also found a tweet from Fabrizio Romano who also discussed this problem which seemed to be just fake news. But news related to Osimhen always spreads quickly. And even now, many people still don't realize that this news is just fake news. I only realized it after you replied to me. This shows that Osimhen is indeed the focus of many people's attention. And when there is the latest update regarding Osimhen, it will immediately become the news that is most searched for and read by football fans who are following the current transfer market.

it was only a question of time and all this would have come true now that oshimen will leave napoli and go to chelsea there will be a radical change for the team I would have expected many teams like city among many but never chelsea in any case it is a great coup for them and now they can finally grab Lukaku and bring him to Napoli regarding Oshimen I think he's perfect for the premier league and I can't wait to see him play there

Osimhen, in my opinion, is a very good player for the Premier League. He was needed in this league where competition is at a high level and Chelsea will probably transfer him. He had a great season in Napoli, especially the season they became champions, he impressed everyone with his high-level play. I expect him to perform similarly in the Premier League, I hope I am not wrong.

[koang]

So far Osimhen's move is more like a rumor, especially considering that Napoli want 70 million and Lukaku, which doesn't seem like a real option for Chelsea.
So apparently Chesley decided to focus on more realistic targets and bought Villarreal goalkeeper Jorgensen for 24.5 million euros.
https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/chelsea-complete-signing-of-filip-jorgensen
The contract is for 7 years, so apparently Chelsea seriously believe in this guy.

Generally a strange transfer, because Chelsea have quite good Djordje Petrovic and Kepa Arrizabalaga, who is no longer the main goalkeeper, but still keeps a good level of play. So why Chelsea need another young goalkeeper is still unclear, because both Petrovic and Arrizabalaga are less than 30 years old and they should play at a good level for a couple more years at least.

Exactly what I wanted to say

Jorgensen said on the club's official website "This move is a dream come true,"
This is good for him but I think this is an irrelevant signing
I don't know who handles the Chelsea transfer window, he or her performance must be evaluated
In pre-season games, Chelsea now has five goalkeepers, Eddie Beach, Filip Jorgensen, Robert Sanchez, Marcus Bettinelli, and Lucas Bergstrom.
Djordje Petrovic is not included, he is injured and has not yet flown to the US.

I can't find how much is actually the salary he demands to Genoa, but we can look how much the salary De Gea when he was in Manchester United and current Genoa's players salary.

The last salary De Gea receive was 19.5 Million Euros, while the highest salary in Genoa is 3.7 Million Euros. I think if De Gea ask for 4 Million Euros, it's already a fair price, more than that is overpriced. De Gea should lower his ego if he want to play, otherwise he might would never find any team that interested to hire him with such salary.

Chelsea are in a much more relaxed position than Napoli. Because for Chelsea getting Osimhen is not their main focus. Meanwhile, for Napoli, releasing Osimhen is their main focus. It's just that Chelsea's condition is quite the same in terms of wanting to release players. Lukaku, who is no longer included in Chelsea's main squad plans, seems to have no place at Chelsea. But Chelsea remains relaxed in this regard. They weren't in a hurry.  Because if they can't let Lukaku go permanently this season then they can still loan him out. Although the risk is that Lukaku's market value could continue to decline over time. Because considering his age, he is no longer young. Speculation after speculation continues to color the transfer of these two players, namely Osimhen and Lukaku, who both want to be released by their respective clubs. It's just that from the start Chelsea never wanted to have a trade option in releasing Lukaku and getting Osimhen.

I am starting to get used to every step Chelsea takes in continuing to hunt for potential young players. Even when they actually already have enough players in that section. Because I believe this is a matter of investment for the club. I think we can begin to read Todd Boehly's train of thought thanks to every movement shown by the club he owns in the transfer market. I think bringing in Jorgensen is the right step considering he is a talented young goalkeeper. We'll see if Chelsea can stay with the current coach for longer and maximize every potential player the club has, then in the next two or three seasons we will see Chelsea turn into a strong team. But all of that will be difficult to realize if the change of coach occurs every season.

I don't really understand why they need so many goalkeepers. I think Chelsea will part ways with a few goalkeepers. There will be reserve goalkeepers who will be transferred to other teams. They could have identified two goalkeepers instead and transferred them so that they wouldn't have a goalkeeper problem for many years. I think whoever is handling the transfer made the wrong decisions.

[Blitzboy]

`

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?

This a classic transfer market standoff.Against Lukaku, who had a terrific season but hasnt been able to repeat it, Osimhen, a young striker with a proven track record of constant progress, contrasts. Chelsea's lowball bid of €40 million for a player worth double that indicates they are playing hardball. But given their already-stocked squad and the financial reality of today's market, Napoli's asking price seems very high.

Napoli has to be clever about this. Chelsea isnt moving and they wont get their asking price. This could last for weeks, perhaps months. And Osimhen's value may diminish with increasing length of time. Despite his talent, no one wants a frustrated benchwarmer.

Be practical, bargain, and close this deal, Napoli. Let this not become another episode of a transfer window disaster. Osimhen is a great asset you have; let him not turn into a liability.

[Altryist]

Osimhen, in my opinion, is a very good player for the Premier League. He was needed in this league where competition is at a high level and Chelsea will probably transfer him. He had a great season in Napoli, especially the season they became champions, he impressed everyone with his high-level play. I expect him to perform similarly in the Premier League, I hope I am not wrong.

Osimhen's agent responded to the numerous rumors that are written about the forward, he does not know about any exchanges or loans, he also reminded that his contract with Napoli has a buyout clause in the amount of 130 million, and called for an end to the publication of fake news. And if we take into account that the new season begins in two and a half weeks, it becomes clear that such late transfers are becoming less and less likely.

It seems we no longer need to be surprised by the aggressive way of shopping for players at the Chelsea club after changing ownership to Todd Boehly. because we've seen in the last two seasons the same thing happen. It's just that it's not the goalkeeper but in another position. And actually, to be more precise, Chelsea in this transfer market has brought in 4 new goalkeepers. And last season Chelsea had 3 goalkeepers. In fact, if you look at the total number of players that Chelsea currently has and see their position in the team, you will definitely be amazed. But yeah, this is the Todd Boehly era so we shouldn't be surprised. Please see here how many defenders they have and midfielders they have. I think what this team is missing is a standout striker.  see this https://www.transfermarkt.co.id/chelsea-fc/startseite/verein/631

[...] 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. [...]

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.

David De Gea should already decide whether to go to the MLS or the Saudi Arabian League. Because he is currently a free agent and expects a very high salary. He is 33 years old now and after a while his reflexes will start to weaken. I don't understand why there are too high salary expectations for him, so De Gea's European adventure could end and he could continue playing football on different continents. I think the best option for him would be MLS.

[knowngunman]

it was only a question of time and all this would have come true now that oshimen will leave napoli and go to chelsea there will be a radical change for the team I would have expected many teams like city among many but never chelsea in any case it is a great coup for them and now they can finally grab Lukaku and bring him to Napoli regarding Oshimen I think he's perfect for the premier league and I can't wait to see him play there

We don't know what is going on underground but the Nigerian born agent has publicly denied the rumors on Osimhen loan to Chelsea and Fabrizio also confirm it. Sincerely speaking, I would also like to see the deal coming to see the light of the day because that is the area where Chelsea is having deficiency for quite some few seasons now.

With the number of players that Chelsea poses now, having a top forward like Osimhen is good addition to help strengthen their forward and boost their goal scoring ability. The current Chelsea forward is full of mediocre players who can not decide with foot to play with while having a personal encounter with opposite goal keeper. I don't know whether the player is interested in joining the blues because I am yet to come across his comment regarding the rumor all this while.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Osimhen, in my opinion, is a very good player for the Premier League. He was needed in this league where competition is at a high level and Chelsea will probably transfer him. He had a great season in Napoli, especially the season they became champions, he impressed everyone with his high-level play.

And if we take into account that the new season begins in two and a half weeks, it becomes clear that such late transfers are becoming less and less likely.

Osimhen's future is still completely uncertain. But I expected to see Osimhen in Chelsea or PSG jersey next season. But at the moment even this seems unlikely. Chelsea management is trying to add Osimhen to the squad, but Chelsea are not interested in the cost of 130 million euros. I would say OSimhen's release clause should be lowered. Napoli management will not be able to sell Osimhen for 130 million euros. And if they can't sell Osimhen this season, Napoli will face a big financial loss but I guess Osimhen will be with a new squad next season.

The future of Victor Osimhen hangs in the balance as negotiations for a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain have stalled. Now, fresh rumors are emerging about a potential move to Chelsea, reigniting interest in the talented forward.

This news suggests that Chelsea management is now trying to add OSimhen to the squad. PSG management tried to sign Osimhen but Napoli management did not accept PSG's offer. This is why Osimhen is most likely to be seen with Chelsea next season.

[Velvet78]

Even loan is an option for Osimhen as it seems. Because some sources like the one I shared below say that a loan deal with Chelsea is possible in case of sending Lukaku to Napoli.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5648308/2024/07/30/romelu-lukaku-napoli-transfer-chelsea-osimhen/?redirected=1

An option to buy could also be added to this possible deal. However I doubt they would agree on that option.    Because Napoli's fee demand has been really high. We are talking about an amount like 130 million euros in the end. I don't think Chelsea would like to add that as a condition. Even if they do, they wouldn't make it mandatory.

I understand Napoli chairman wants to make as much money as possible from Osimhen deal but I don't know whether they can find a team to pay that much.

And if they can't sell Osimhen this season, Napoli will face a big financial loss but I guess Osimhen will be with a new squad next season.

Napoli is still as usual selfish and wants Osimhen release clause at a high price. This is the only biggest obstacle why Osimhen is difficult to leave and he is no longer a top priority in the squad. In my opinion, if there is no solution taken from both parties, especially Napoli then Osimhen career will be destroyed. Chelsea position is correct and still does not meet the price, it all depends on Napoli and now Osimhen fate is really on the edge of uncertainty. Imagine the player who Napoli was proud of last season now has to become Osimhen biggest enemy. Napoli still wants to benefit, and will the Saudi Arabian club finally come as a mediator to satisfy Napoli's wishes?

[Polkeins]

So far Osimhen's move is more like a rumor, especially considering that Napoli want 70 million and Lukaku, which doesn't seem like a real option for Chelsea.

Apparently Chelsea bosses had an extra 20 million euros and decided to spend it somehow, but I didn't think Chelsea had 5 goalkeepers! The purchase of Jorgensen can still be justified somehow, only if Kepa doesn't want to play for Chelsea anymore and Petrovic is injured, then maybe the transfer of Jorgensen makes sense as a purchase of a promising goalkeeper to replace the outgoing Kepa.
In general, we are waiting for more transfer news from Chelsea, because I think that they will not stop on Jorgensen and their main goal is Osimhen.

[joniboini]

And actually, to be more precise, Chelsea in this transfer market has brought in 4 new goalkeepers. And last season Chelsea had 3 goalkeepers. In fact, if you look at the total number of players that Chelsea currently has and see their position in the team, you will definitely be amazed.

Looks like two or three keepers are registered for youth development purpose, I doubt they plan on using those U-21 keepers as a second or even third-choice to pursue the Premier League/other titles. I guess you can argue that in the end they'll need 3 professional keepers at the level of Sanchez to make the team competitive. Not really a strange thing to do, unless they have some big brain plan that we don't understand what's the end goal is. CMIIW.

And if we take into account that the new season begins in two and a half weeks, it becomes clear that such late transfers are becoming less and less likely.

Napoli of course are good that they have prescribed for Osimhen such a big payoff, but 130 million for him could have been asked 2 years ago, when in the season 2022\2023 he scored 26 goals, but last season he could only score 16 goals and it was obvious that the player with a difficult character, which should also be taken into account. I think Chelsea are right to get rid of Lukaku and include him in the deal, but selling one capricious player (Lukaku) and buying another capricious player (Osimhen) is not a good idea, especially in the market now after Euro 2024 there are more interesting players like Alvarez or Olmo.
