⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The only club Victor Osimhen has made terms with is the French side Paris Saint German who are very eager to have the Nigerian striker in their squad next season to replace k. Mbappe. For Chelsea it's all still a rumour about Victor Osimhen moving there at the moment. One of the factor delaying Osimhen definite move to any club right now is the clause fee placed on him by Napoli and since Antonio Conte is in dare need of the Belgium forward Romelo Lukaku who has been on loan for two seasons now Chelsea are thinking of swapping Lukaku with Osimhen with an adjusted added fee. But it doesn't seem Osimhen is interested in going to Chelsea as much as he is with PSG which is where I believe he will have a favourable playing career than in Chelsea.

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.

Next times go ahead and mention names and don't be shy... My guys tells me you're talking about Nicolas Jackson, and it's so glaring he should be the one . Jackson no excuse has had a bad playing time at Chelsea but I think he needs some encouragement to boost his confidence on the pitch. I think some support from the fans would bring an improving result on the player than booing him for certain clueless mistakes he had been making. Nicolas is a talented forward he's just not have it all figured out yet at Chelsea.

Chelsea purchasing policy has always been unpredictable, last season they completely overhauled their squad and brought in young players, now in addition to adding goalkeeper options, The Blues are also at the forefront in purchasing strikers and midfielders. With the many options that The Blues have, it means that a long-term program will be implemented because it is impossible to have to fight for a place in one full season which usually would not be ideal for squad stability. Palmer is reported to have received a new position from Enzo, personally the coach has a special plan for Palmer because last season he managed to make an extraordinary contribution. If you look at Palmer situation, I am optimistic that he can maneuver a little if he continues to be trusted by Enzo.

Switching a little to Man United where Yoro who was just inaugurated suffered an injury. Is Man United's purchase very reckless? he hasn't done anything big but his physical is problematic. So don't expect too much because Man United purchase of Yoro is considered too hasty just because Yoro is being eyed by Real Madrid. Now as Fabrizio posted, we are a little disappointed why Man United had to spend 2x the cost for a player who will only sit on the bench longer than on the green grass.

After failing to get Julian Alvarez or Arthem Dovbyk, now Atletico has changed the direction of its target for a new striker and this time their choice fell on Alexander Sorloth from Villarreal. As is known, Atletico is still confused about finding a replacement for Alvaro Morata who has already left to join Milan and they must get a productive striker if they want to continue to secure full points in each match.

Alexander Sorloth is the right striker and last season he contributed 23 goals in the La Liga competition alone and placed him in 2nd place for top scorers and only 1 goal behind Arthem Dovbyk who scored 24 goals. No wonder Atletico is so interested in him and currently negotiations with Alexander Sorloth are underway. Let's see if Diego Simione succeeds in getting the player he is targeting.

Osimhen agent has confirmed that rumors about the loan are a hoax and he has denied that there are any discussions with Chelsea regarding the loan option at this time, Osimhen also reportedly refuses that any team that wants to sign him will pay a salary less than what he currently earns at Napoli, according to I think the speculation that continues to occur will continue to create a lot of confusion for all of us, so I think it's better for us to wait for new news and any information that appears from Napoli or Osimhen social media at this time rather than referring to sports article sources that are not trusted at all, for now It is very likely that Osimhen will stay at Napoli even though that is not his wish, because so far several teams that want to recruit him has stated that they refuse to pay 120 million euros, in my opinion it is very likely that we will see him leave next winter if Napoli changes of their mind with the prices they have set so far.
