⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[rahmad2nd]

I believe Napoli does not want Osimhen to leave the club, which is why they are asking for such a big fee, and all of the top clubs will be hesitant to pay such a high fee for such a player since they are unsure whether he would help them or not in the team. PSG are not interested in Osimhen, which is why when they offer him a high fee, he logs out and looks for another striker. Only Saudi Arabia can pay such a fee because they are wealthy and can buy any player that comes their way, and I am confident Osimhen will not want to join the club because he wants to play in Europe and perform well.But since they are trying to buy Lukaku to Napoli, I think they will reduce his fees and sell him because if Lukaku comes to Napoli, I don't think Osimhen will enjoy playing in the team anymore because they won't be putting him in games like before, so the best decision is that they should reduce his fees and move to Chelsea because I am sure he will help the club very well, Chelsea don't have a good finisher in the club, but when they get the opportunity to buy Osimhen, they will Chelsea's coach should do everything necessary to transfer the player to the squad, and we'll see how he ends up or what Chelsea gets the chance and get him, but lukaku need to move to Napoli first before they can make there decision.

We can assume according to the rumors and our own point of view, but keeping Osimhen is not the best move if the player really wants to leave. Napoli could do it as you said, but it is not certain that he will perform optimally if he stays at Napoli. besides, Osimhen's contract ends in June 2026, which means that the closer to the end of the contract, his release clause will decrease. well, actually I don't know much about Osimhen's contract, but if anyone knows more, they can provide a more detailed picture. as for Osimhen's performance, I have no doubt that he can adapt to any league he plays in. in this context, playing with a big club. Osimhen is a player who has unquestionable abilities and talents, his performance declined due to injury and the Napoli coach at that time. and actually many teams want Osimhen, he is a productive center striker in scoring goals. it's just that, the price that Napoli wants for this player is so fantastic. so, clubs will try to find other options.

As for PSG, they are currently taking a good first step. not all players they target are paid according to the wishes of the club that releases them, as PSG did to Osimhen. the proposal was rejected, PSG did not insist on forcing Osimhen to come. in fact they tend to wait, while looking for other alternatives. the latest report from Fabrizio Romano, Napoli is open to involving Osimhen in talks with Chelsea. no loan, "no mandatory clause". but in the report, PSG is still linked with Osimhen. because, Osimhen had previously said yes to PSG. Napoli's position is not in a profitable situation, because they also need funds to bring in new arrivals. if Conte is adamant with Lukaku, then his choice is to release Osimhen and lower his transfer price.

[salad daging]

I don't know why Napoli is still not serious with selling Osimhen and they are promising Lukaku that they will buy him because he has already accepted how much he would be receiving. Let it not be that Napoli will render Lukaku clubless next season because I don't know if he will still be in Roma since Napoli has not shown any interest till they sell Osimhen. Napoli are just confused and do not know what they want or they are not getting their decisions right.

Napoli are just waiting until the club can pay the clause for Osimhen if not then Napoli do not want to sell the Nigerian player at a cheap price, which is heavy in my opinion the clause was activated then other clubs will have difficulty.

Lukaku is of interest to Conte because he wants him so Napoli could try to get by any means but other news says this will be exchanged or loaned from Chelsea including Osimhen himself.
I think Napoli will wait for other teams to accept offers for Osimhen if there is no then it is likely that the method will be done by loaning it.

Arsenal and Liverpool will be going head to head by 1:30am in a preseason encounter that will have an impact on what the team might look like in the premier league next season when they face big teams.
These kind of test are necessary for teams and for clubs who want to do well in a new season.

The match will be a special match for Liverpool’s new coach Arne Slot, and it will just be like other preseason matches for Arsenal because they have played Manchester United in the preseason last week.
This match will determine how well prepared the both teams are especially Liverpool under new coach, I am sure that Liverpool will display full squad, and as for Arsenal, I can’t tell because Arteta didn’t start his first team players against United.

As for Arsenal,They have added Calafiori to their squad,and also,their stop stopper which they signed on loan last season,known as David Raya has made his move permanent as an Àrsenal player.Where as, Liverpool are also prepared to face the gunners,and are hoping to get a result from that game.Lets wait to see how the outcome will look like.

Calafiori may play his debut today and other defenders Arteta is trying to promote.
I will be expecting a draw or a slight win for Arsenal because Liverpool cannot be underrated under Arne Slot because he will do his best to defeat Arsenal tonight

According to rumors Adeyemi give the ok to leave BVB and join Juventus.
The sport director of Jvuentus already spoken with the agents of the players 2 times and they have a deal for fees + salaray.

They now need to find a deal with the club and that it will be the hard task.
It is rumored to be an offer around 40 mil for the player.

what do you think?

It's clear Conte prefer Lukaku than Osimhen, this is just an obvious fact and I doubt if he is really in his plan because this transfer saga has been going on for like over a month now, Conte always prefer Lukaku since the beginning while Napoli just wants to cash out big from their price asset, is not like they don't want to sell rather they want more money for their top player though this would have not been a problem for other teams but his records is the drawbacks.
Also I don't think are not interested in Osimhen is just the fee Napoli are requesting though PSG are always known to be spending big for players they want but if you observe this transfer windows they have been oddly negotiating for a fairer price and not just smashing out the asking price for every players they are interested in

I haven't been too active in the football section lately, but I guess I jump in at the right time, as you guys are already discussing the game, which should probably be played at early hours of the day, according to Sakanwa. Good luck to both teams. In as much as I don't hype preseason games that much, but I think playing some good sides ahead of the season would sharpen the minds of the players. And as for Arne Slot, I don't know if he has faced any team in this preseason, because I haven't been following him that much since the departure of kloop.

As for Arsenal,They have added Calafiori to their squad,and also,their stop stopper which they signed on loan last season,known as David Raya has made his move permanent as an Àrsenal player.Where as, Liverpool are also prepared to face the gunners,and are hoping to get a result from that game.Lets wait to see how the outcome will look like.

Calafiori may play his debut today and other defenders Arteta is trying to promote.
I will be expecting a draw or a slight win for Arsenal because Liverpool cannot be underrated under Arne Slot because he will do his best to defeat Arsenal tonight

I think calafiori might make is debut, since he has been saying lots of good things about joining the team on Twitter. I even noticed how quick he was in completing his medicals, Inorder to join the team in their US tour, which I think their game tonight would be the last US tour match. Not sure if I would be able to stay awake for the game, but I will definitely want to see the highlight, or maybe check for a separate video of him for the later game. I will go with your predictions too.

[Nheer]

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

Talking about Osimhen’s price of course it is a little bit high, it’s not for his performance or anything but his age is the reason why most clubs think the price is high. If you look at the market nowadays you will see a lot of players who lack experience and are still being sold for higher prices of 100m so with Osimhen experience and stats he should be worth that much if only he is a bit younger, he has proven himself multiple seasons that he is a striker that can give you goals regardless of the team performance.

They are probably concerned about the wages Osimhen will receive that could be the reason why Chelsea are hesitant.

Chelsea are still following up the situation, they still look interested, but maybe considering other options of strikers that they have on their watch list. Maybe that is the reason why there is a delay from Chelsea. I do not think the money is the problem for Chelsea, they can actually afford him, but they also do not want to buy him at once, they want to see if they can get him on loan with an option to buy, and Napoli want a permanent deal. If they are able to reach an agreement, Osimhen will move to Chelsea instead of PSG where there is already a big hype about him going.

Whatever Chelsea decides i think getting Osimhen is the best option for them, Napoli clearly wants Lukaku and this is the perfect opportunity for Chelsea to get a Big name striker. Osimhen just wants to leave and Napoli also wants to sell him Chelsea have no plan to use Lukaku and Napoli wants him, this swap will make both parties happy so why not just conclude and get it over it. I can’t wait to see Osimhen in Chelsea colors.

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.

Atletico Madrid was lost Alvaro Morata who transfered to AC Milan and they also lost Memphis Depay which his contract was terminated by Atletico Madrid because Simeone feel dissapoint to see Depay performance with this team and lost 2 striker is a big deal for Atletico Madrid so Simeone has been confirmed that he want to gets new striker immediately before Laliga begin and so far indeed Atletico Madrid has been linked to several names just like you said above

Atletico Madrid is still hard to gets new striker until now because seems their target players always be choosing other teams instead of them and actually before linked to Alexander Sorloth they were attempts to gets Artem Dovbyk from Girona even Atletico Madrid want to bid this player but unfortunately Artem Dovbyk was more likely to choose Roma even according to the latest news i have read Roma has successfully gets Artem Dovbyk signature

Alexander Sorloth also still uncertain because he has expensive price and Villarreal only want 38 million which Atletico Madrid feel he is overpriced considering Alexander Sorloth is not categorized as young player and his contract with Villarreal also will be expired on 2025 and Atletico Madrid also has other alternative player if they failed again to gets Alexander Sorloth because they also considering to bought Jonathan David from Lille and besides those names above Atletico Madrid also want to loan Goncalo Ramos from PSG

Chelsea want to sell Romelu Lukaku permanently joining Napoli but for doing so Victor Osimhen must be sold 1st
Lukaku has already accepted a salary cut for joining Napoli.

I think Napoli is the one making this deal complicated. They're asking for too much for Osimhen. Chelsea wants a direct swap deal, which is not very fair too but considering that they bought Lukaku for 100 million, they don't want to pay any more, but what they have to understand is that the market value of Lukaku has dropped drastically so they have to pay for Osimhen and let Lukaku join Napoli.

If you look at this deal, I feel like Chelsea is at a disadvantage because they can't use Lukaku. However the transfer window goes, Chelsea is going to sell Lukaku, but if everything goes wrong, Napoli can decide to use Osimhen for another season, they're not desperate to sell unlike how Chelsea is desperate to sell Lukaku.

Conte once stated in his first interview after being appointed as Napoli new manager that Osimhen was out of his control, because there was an agreement between Osimhen and Napoli before he became manager. From all the rumors that have developed, it gives us all a signal that Osimhen does intend to leave in this summer transfer window, and that is in line with what the club wants, especially Aurelio De Laurentiis. It can be said that Osimhen transfer is mutually beneficial for both parties, Napoli can get big profits and Osimhen can continue his career at a better club.

I think if Conte had a choice, the former Juventus and Inter Milan manager would certainly choose Osimhen over Lukaku, not the other way around. Why Conte is reported to want Lukaku so much, because he knows that Osimhen will eventually leave, that sounds more reasonable. PSG, Chelsea, Al Ahli, and then Arsenal are a number of clubs who want the services of the Nigerian international player, but there is no competition because they are all reluctant to pay Osimhen release clause which is too expensive. Al Ahli are willing to pay the fee, but Osimhen is not interested in leaving Europe.

What you said, it's clear that Conte only wants Lukaku and from this it can be seen that Osimhen's position is no longer comfortable because Conte prefers Lukaku. Osimhen has also stated that he will leave in this transfer market and he is also waiting for an agreement to be reached between PSG and Napoli regarding his transfer. I think Napoli are ready to lose Osimhen, it's just that they are slow to sell him because the value of Osimhen's clause has decreased compared to the release clause in last season's transfer market.

Even though Napoli will not be strengthened by Osimhen this season, I think they will also be strong because Conte is a coach full of experience in Serie A, of course he will find it easy to revive Napoli from downturn. If Osimhen leaves then Lukaku will be his replacement. For this reason, the cycle that has occurred for Napoli this season is of course very big because it is related to their goal machine.

Lukaku has already accepted a salary cut for joining Napoli.

It has always been a complicated issue from the beginning when Osimhen, who was not allowed to leave with an unreasonable clause considering the price was too high.
There have been previous conversations with PSG but Napoli remain adamant on the price which makes it seem like Conte is struggling to find players this season considering Napoli's finances are still not very good.

Currently Napoli have only brought in Alessandro Buongiorno and Rafa Marin as well as several free transfers and young players brought in from the academy but that clearly won't be satisfactory for Conte because he still needs big funds to make a difference at Napoli only that still has to be hindered because indeed the only way to get instant funds is to sell Osimhen but until now it still hasn't happened.

If they didn't want to lose Osimhen I don't think they'd be so silly as to make him uncomfortable with his career at Napoli and given what happened last season I actually think that's why Osimhen is trying to stay away from Napoli.

Inappropriate treatment is clear that it cannot be tolerated which I think is one of the reasons Osimhen's relationship is not very good with club management which in turn has an impact on performance even though we are aware that Osimhen's performance last season was still very good but when there is no chemistry and the player is uncomfortable with his condition then the performance will also not be forced.  Osimhen still intends to keep leaving Napoli even though his destination is still unclear but we can see the seriousness of Osimhen who will leave so that with the intention from the start already wanting to leave no matter how professional in the end I'm not sure Osimhen will be comfortable if he is still retained for next season's plans.

[Pulsar77]

Still zero action taken by Arne Slot. How do you assess this situation of Liverpool?  

At least net spend isn't negative.    Jokes aside, he really needs to make his transfer targets clear and send them to the board. If he already has then what are the board waiting for?

Liverpool NEEDS transfers this summer. This is obvious. They just can't stay in a PL title race anymore. We saw it clearly last season. The thing they need is not only a squad depth but also a stronger lineup to start matches.

Romelu Lukaku would've joined Napoli before now if the Italian club had agreed to cut down their release clause on Victor Osimhen. Chelsea are willing to allow Lukaku Join Napoli on permanent deal but are negotiating for a deal that'll see Victor Osimhen join them but the problem is that they've refused to meet the price Napoli is requesting. Napoli's management is trying to be greedy in their offer if you ask me and if nothing is done to let the Lukaku and Osimhen deal pull through, they might be forced to keep the Nigeria international

[AprilioMP]

A player of Osimhen's class on loan and in exchange for Lukaku? Ah I think he is getting closer to PSG but PSG will get closer to Nico Williams the news.
I know Osimhen's clause is quite big so it's hard for other clubs who will sign him imagine 130M while Osimhen's performance was not so impressive even better when he was still under Spalletti.
Suppose if Osimhen is loaned to Chelsea and there he performs better then maybe Chelsea will pay the clause, they usually pay expensive players.

PSG confirmed by Fabrizio Romano has brought in Joao Neves at a price of € 60m Fixed fee plus adds on other.
The character playing Osimhsn is better if playing in the Premier League because the statistics are circulating that Osimhen is better than Julian Alvarez.
If Napoli seriously release Osimhen, of course it can happen easily, but until now they have not decided. If Osimhen and Napoli agreed to release the Nigerian player will be a challenger for other sharp attackers such as Julian Alvarez in Manchester City.

Victor Osimhen is an important player so his clause release by Napoli to any club will surely undergo a thorough agreement between the both teams so even if Chelsea would like Lukaku to stay permanently at Napoli, it is not a guarantee that Victor Osimhen will just come over to Chelsea without concrete financial terms. Napoli is not greedy and they are not requesting for too much either because this is basically a world class player we are talking about here so if Chelsea cannot meet up with the demand of Napoli they should forget about Osimhen and let the Nigerian super star remain in Napoli until the expiry of his contract at Napoli.

Napoli comes infront when we talk about clubs that have fallen from their glory days and in deep struggling. It have never been a really good run for the club. Napoli new headcoach, Antonio Conte have taken over Napoli and there's quite alot to put in place in Napoli. He has to make good use of the available players and probably add more potentials to equipped the uniqueness of his reputation and also building formidable squad.

Victor Osimhen is promising and key part for the project of Antonio Conte. He's available to spread his positive impact across the formation of the club. This new season is almost up and the team's supporters expects more from Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, because they're both important for the continous existence of the club.

Hmm... what's wrong with his age? He'll only be 26 in December. I'd say he's still far from his peak and has at least 5 seasons ahead of him where he can play at his best and even improve. Remember, for comparison, that Zidane moved to Real Madrid at the age of 29 for a then-record fee. Considering that medicine has made many strides forward since then, we can say that Osimhen has half of his great career ahead of him.
