⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Sg4j1n3ll0]

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.

Osimhen's agent has already denied this rumor, looking at the demands that Napoli is making, it would be nonsense to think that Napoli would accept Osimhen being loaned out, another thing that I can't understand is why Osimhen doesn't forget about this issue about changing teams and focus on performing well at Napoli, because in my opinion it seems to me that Osimhen wants to leave Napoli because he realized that Napoli won't play in the European Champions League next season and they run a high risk of not playing in the Champions League in the other seasons to come

But he needs to be aware that if there aren't many big teams interested in him and because he still needs to improve and show that he is a player of a much higher level, if PSG or any other team saw in Osimhen a talent like Mbappe, then they wouldn't hesitate to pay any amount to have Osimhen. See this news:

Paris Saint-Germain agree deal to sign João Neves from Benfica 🔴🔵🇵🇹

Plan confirmed as verbal agreement was imminent and now being signed between clubs, this week as planned.

Benfica will receive €60m fixed fee, €10m add-ons and Renato Sanches to return to Benfica on one year loan.

João travels to Paris, signs long term deal this week as Luis Campos presented the project and Neves said yes weeks ago also tempted by Luis Enrique’s plan/ideas.

with that amount of money that PSG spent, if they hadn't spent it and increased the value, they could have easily bought Osimhen, this means that PSG didn't buy Osimhen because they don't see him as a super player, but rather a normal player and Napoli is deluding themselves by placing high values

We must understand if Osimhen actually manages to repeat himself and to be more and more performing he would like to go to the Premier League or at most PSG but he knows that this is very difficult there is also the interest of Arabia for Osimhen, but I don't think it's a Championship suitable for those who want to live football and measure themselves with the greats of international football where there are no suitable challenges that can allow the boy to play at the levels that compete with him

As I understood from his words "for now I am done with football" it does not mean that he will never return. Maybe he said so so that his vacation would be a start and not a consideration of endless offers on how to continue his career. He is 57 years old and I do not think that this is the age when it is worth retiring from a favorite job. Most likely, next summer he will either start looking for options or will already sign a contract with a club/national team.

I actually interpreted Jurgen Klopp words "for now I am done with football" as an official announcement that he will retire from the world of football. If he really retires at the age of 57, then football will lose a great coach. He has coached the best clubs in the world in his coaching career and won several prestigious titles, Liverpool being the club that managed to achieve success during his time under his auspices.
However, any decision could change, because several players who previously decided to retire from football could return to the field for various reasons. I hope he can come back again to win some more titles with the club he manages, currently football is starting to have a crisis of great coaches, his presence will help the team rise again from the slump like when he handled Liverpool.

[legendbtc]

Who has read this news?
I read this from the social media handle of Supersport that Klopp is bowing out of football coaching career. Who has thought it will end like this?
Nothing is heartbreaking to me than reading this. I thought he was gonna have a year rest and take up a job again, even if a national team. I pray Liverpool should not miss him every weekend and what did Liverpool management do to him. I believe something personal is wrong with Jurgen Klopp. This is not about leaving the stage when the ovation is high.

Most likely, next summer he will either start looking for options or will already sign a contract with a club/national team.

Maybe a short break is what he meant. Klopp is a great manager and there is no team in the world he can't coach. He is very successful tactically. I also think he is a very good coach when it comes to bringing out the talents of players. Mo Salah is the best example of this. He made a world star out of him. Liverpool turned into another team under his management and they were scary. Of course, it may be time for a little rest.

Currently, the 57-year-old strategist is still in the process of relaxing with his family after nearly two decades of coaching and does not rule out the possibility of officially saying goodbye to football shortly. After all, Klopp has coached the best clubs in the world and has won the most prestigious awards. There is nothing left for Klopp to conquer. Retiring at this stage also helps him maintain a good image with fans. Klopp did not have to witness negative comments or be sacked by the board just because of poor performance.

But let's hope that one day, the former Liverpool head coach will change his mind and return to the coaching bench. Because of the information about the farewell announcement, Klopp has not yet officially announced it, and this is just a rumor. Maybe we will talk about this again in a few months. I still believe that Klopp still has a passion for football, and I believe that he will come back with some attractive and challenging proposals.

A 57-year-old guy deserves it, and he must take care of his family. Klopp ruled out becoming England's national coach. The reason may be related to this news. But i deeply understand his decision.

Klopp deserves a quality life after he has worked so hard in the last 9 years at Liverpool.  Klopp was like a father to many players and fans in Liverpool. I hoped we would see him take on another club or country role in the future, but now it’s clear we won’t see him coaching again. And  enjoy your retirement, Klopp. You're legend.

Good news for Barca fans who were initially still very confused about the future of Barcelona and Dani Olmo who always had ridiculous rumors.
From Fabrizio's source we can see that Dani Olmo gave a sign that he was actually ready if he had to join Barca but was just waiting for the decision between the two clubs which would be published in the near future.

In my opinion, Leipzig will later agree to Barca's offer and after that we will see Olmo appear with the popular LaLiga club in the new season.
Let's see how it goes, and I find it very convincing.

Let's see how it goes, and I find it very convincing.

Dani Olmo showed a high level performance in the European championship and has already entered the transfer list of the best teams in the world. Barcelona is one of these teams. However, this popularity has increased Olmo's price. Barcelona has to make an offer that will convince Leipzig, otherwise the team will not want to let him go. Of course, it would be bad for the team to let go of such a good player in his prime. It is a high transfer fee that will convince them, I don't know if Barcelona can afford it.

[D-law]

I am definitely sure that they are not going to loan out Osimhen, that will not be the case, they are looking to sell him without a doubt. It could be PSG, it could be Chelsea, it could be some other team but in the end the yare trying to sell him and just get the money instead.

I understand that they may want Lukaku, and I understand they may even make some profit from that exchange, like get Lukaku for free, give Osimhen and take some money as loan fee as well, all of that could still be "profitable" for them, but it will not be enough, we are talking about a player that could worth 100+ and they are going to look to get that money without a doubt. If we can't make that work somehow then we are going to have some trouble.

What I think will happen is that we are going to end up with a situation that will take a while, and for that to work in the end, we need to be careful, it is going to be very risky and it will not be too simple, we need to see that part. If Osimhen is not sold, that is causing asset that's unloaded for Napoli, they need to unload him quickly and make that money, so they can look for transfer market and see which players they can get with that money.

Truly, both the club and the player might not be willing to go on loan with an option to buy. But then, when it becomes obvious that both parties do not want each other anymore, it affects the entire negotiation process and also limits their options. Both Napoli and Osimhen are no longer interested in the “union”  this leaves them vulnerable.

Take for instance the Chelsea and Lukaku fiasco. A player that was bought for over a 100m has been bouncing around clubs in a season-long loan for 2 years now simply because both the club and the player cannot stand each other. Ideally, Chelsea would never have sent a player of that caliber on loan for little or nothing but the whole drama surrounding him limited the options to either send him on loan or terminate his contract. I feel it might get to that point with Osimhen and Napoli if care is not taken.

Under this current circumstances, it leaves the door open for every possibility. It’ll get worse if they don’t find a solution early because it’ll force them to take a drastic decision on the last days of the window. This makes for an entertaining window for every neutral though. I look forward to seeing how the drama unfolds. I just wish they were selling him under the right circumstances.

It's really a sad day for good football, I mean the retirement of jurgen klopp, because he is actually a top professional manager which is part of the modern days managers that has played good football over the past few years now, but on a sincere note, he definitely needs the much needed rest that being a football coach can't give him, so I wish him the best.

Though at first, when I saw this news, I never believed it, I just thought it's one of those rumours that the media usually puts out just to sell their papers, but I was wrong, it's actually true, he is leaving football, especially coaching a football team, though in the future I believe that he might take a role as technical adviser or as a board member in any of the top teams, but nothing is certain, anything can still happen, so all the best Mr klopp.

Scott McTominay, one of Manchester United mainstay players who always fills the midfielder position, is reported to have received several offers in this summer transfer window.
Previously, Galatasaray made an offer but was rejected and recently it was also seen that Fulham had an interest and made an offer of £20 million but that was still far from the desired amount, maybe Fulham will make another offer in the future.
What is clear is that Fulham really needs player in the midfielder position to replace Joao Palhinha, this will be pretty good hunt for Fulham if they succeed in reaching an agreement with Manchester United.
They have £30 million to reach an agreement and we see if this is an amount that can be agreed in the future.

Let's see how it goes, and I find it very convincing.

Isn't Dani Olmo just a backup target for Barcelona if they don't get Nico William?
If it is true that Dani Olmo will join Barcelona, ​​this means that their fix has not succeeded to recruiting Nico Williams from Bilbao at this time, currently Dani Olmo is being targeted by many clubs after he impressed at the Euros and Leipzig so it would be very lucky if Barcelona could get him now even though he is not better than Nico William if he plays as a left winger, Dani Olmo has actually been targeted by Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool at the moment, but he actually hopes to join Barcelona although they are in a bad financial condition at the moment, according to @fabrizio's tweet Romano actually currently Dani Olmo has agreed to a 6 year contract with Barcelona and Barcelona has also sent a new offer to Leipzig with details of 55 million euros guaranteed money, 4 million additional easy and 3 million additional difficult, to be honest I don't understand what the additional difficult means and it's easy right now in that the bid proposal.

What I think will happen is that we are going to end up with a situation that will take a while, and for that to work in the end, we need to be careful, it is going to be very risky and it will not be too simple, we need to see that part. If Osimhen is not sold, that is causing asset that's unloaded for Napoli, they need to unload him quickly and make that money, so they can look for transfer market and see which players they can get with that money.

Napoli's owner, Aurelio de Laurentiis, doesn't seem to want a loan agreement. And even a few days ago we read a lot of news circulating regarding Chelsea who would borrow Osimhen. And apparently Agent Osimhen immediately commented that it was not true news. And I am sure that Napoli's owner, Aurelio de Laurentiis, will still try to sell Osimhen rather than loan him out. PSG may now start to slowly back away after their bid still failed to bring in Osimhen. But I heard news that Arsenal might advance again after a while ago they also withdrew. But if PSG withdraws then another team should make a better offer. Chelsea have brought in too many players and I don't think they are in a condition where they really need Osimhen. Chelsea just want to let go of Lukaku, who is not in their squad plans for the next season. This will indeed take quite a long time. But it seems that time is running out for the transfer market and Napoli or Chelsea have to hurry in their efforts to release the players they will sell in the current transfer market.

[lizarder]

We must understand if Osimhen actually manages to repeat himself and to be more and more performing he would like to go to the Premier League or at most PSG but he knows that this is very difficult there is also the interest of Arabia for Osimhen, but I don't think it's a Championship suitable for those who want to live football and measure themselves with the greats of international football where there are no suitable challenges that can allow the boy to play at the levels that compete with him

He must get back regular playing time so he can improve his performance, the injury he suffered last season and the dispute with the coach made him not develop so he lost his best form. Now there is no clarity where he will go and it seems that PSG have withdrawn from the hunt because Napoli is indeed too high a price and I am also sure that teams in the Premier League will consider many things before recruiting him.

The only opportunity to join the Saudi Arabian league and maybe the price asked by Napoli they can meet. But maybe Osimhen is not interested in joining there because he still intends to play in a European club. Now talking about opportunities and maybe Napoli will release anyone who wants to buy at the price they offer.

[Litzki1990]

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.
https://www.eurosport.com/football/transfers/2024-2025/chelsea-napoli-romelu-lukaku-victor-osimhen-transfers-kieran-mckenna-viktor-gyokeres-mikel-merino-arsenal_sto20023136/story.shtml

If Osimhen doesn't find a new club that wants to buy him permanently in the current transfer market, then there is no choice for this player and also for Napoli for this player other than to keep him back or loan him out. But if Lukaku is brought in then Osimhen's role at Napoli certainly seems to be slightly shifted. Because Conte seems to prioritize Lukaku. So maybe Napoli should consider loaning out their mainstay player with a purchase option. But if Napoli don't bring in Lukaku then reusing Osimhen is the best thing.

The same drama that Mbappé did with signing from PSG to Real Madrid is what we see with Osimen. We've heard from the start that the player doesn't have a good relationship with Napoli, and despite not having a relationship, he's been playing for the club for several seasons now, but whenever the transfer market opens up, there's renewed talk of a transfer. If the club wanted to sell him and he didn't want to stay at the club then there shouldn't have been so much drama and he might have moved to another club before long. Now when another club is showing interest in taking him, his club is increasing his price, naturally no club will want to buy this player at such a high price. If the club does not want to sell this player, then they may not play so much in the transfer market. This transfer window will end and another transfer window will open but you will see that their drama is not over.

[Silence Scream]

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.

The biggest problem for Osimhen is Napoli's high transfer fee expectations. If his price was more affordable, he would have transferred to a team by now. Due to his high transfer fee, he will probably spend this year in Napoli because he thinks it is too early to go to the SPL. He wants to achieve some of the things he aimed for before the SPL. Like playing in the Premier League. Chelsea are also interested in him in the Premier League. This is the most interesting rumor right now.

Scott McTominay doubt with his future in Manchester United this because Manchester United has a plan want to gets more midfielder player this summer and we all know according to the rumour Manchester United still under negotiation with PSG to bought Manuel Ugarte and if this transfer happened then Scott McTominay have no place anymore in Manchester United especially Casemiro also will not leaving so if Scott McTominay is insist want to stayed at Manchester United then he always being an the substutition player

Manchester United actually will putting Scott McTominay into their sell lists for this summer so i think this is good chances for McTominay to look for new clubs and seems Fulham is the most serious club who really want him because after lost Joao Palhinha who moved to Bayern Munich currently Fulham still look for new players although they have already to bought Emile Smith Rowe from Arsenal but seems Fulham manager still hasn't satisfied and want more players so that's why Fulham was bid for McTominay but Manchester United only want not less than 30 million and they will not lowering the price

Like playing in the Premier League. Chelsea are also interested in him in the Premier League. This is the most interesting rumor right now.

Yes, the high transfer fee is indeed a very big barrier which makes it difficult for other clubs to bring in this player and likewise for Osimhen it becomes difficult for him to leave and find a new club because his transfer price is very high.

PSG even seems to have started to slowly back away or they are just waiting for Napoli to lower their prices. Talks with Chelsea also seem to be continuing. But what's interesting is that Arsenal also seems interested in bringing in Osimhen again. Because Arsenal have now finished bringing in Riccardo Calafiori and maybe they can focus more on this talented player from Nigeria. And I think whether it's Chelsea, Arsenal or PSG, all of them would be suitable clubs for Osimhen. I hope one of them can get this player in this transfer market.

[Velvet78]

I'm sorry about this, but Calenda (Osimhen's agent) has confirmed that he denies a loan move for Osimhen. Even if there will be a buy clause option, I strongly believe this will not happen. I'd like to call that fake news. I knew this fake news was coming from D. Ornstein, and Calenda, as Osimhen's agent, has denied it.



Romano's report on Osimhen's agent's statement confirmed that the rumor was not true.

Thanks for sharing the source. Then yeah, it is false alarm.    But it would really be for the benefit of Chelsea if this deal happened for real. They would love to have a reliable striker instead of Jackson.


https://x.com/nicoschira/status/1818724384603095093?s=46&t=itrLkNF8u0gU3nf3-G0VQA

The source says Milan is still after Tammy Abraham. Why would they be so insistent on him?   I mean he isn't a horrible player but the truth is he is having serious injuries. Is it worth the risk anyway? There are so many better strikers out there. Maybe they see a probable cheap deal which is why they want him. Otherwise I don't believe he is a striker to push this much for. I assume Jovic would be more helpful in the long term.

[bitgolden]

I am not 100% convinced that Klopp will be retiring that easily, I know he said that he did, but I am not entirely sure if that would be the case. I am not saying that he won't be retired from being a head coach, a manager, I am just saying that he may not be retired from football all together, that feels not so smart. He may just end up getting a team and being owner? He may end up starting some academy for kids and run that? Like he will not be staying at home all day watching tv, that is what I am trying to say.

Since I am 100% certain that he will not be just staying at home all day, I also believe that he will not be doing some unrelated work neither, I isn't going to start being a chef in a restaurant or anything, he is going to do something related to football.

I do not know what it is, will he ever come back as manager, or will he be owner of some team, or academy or whatever in the end, but I am 100% certain that he will do some job. It would be fair to say that in a 3-5 year time, he may feel like he took enough retirement, relaxed enough and may come back to managing as well, it is not really that unheard of, and could definitely end up becoming real as well, wouldn't feel that weird.

[Queentoshi]

Thanks for sharing the source. Then yeah, it is false alarm.    But it would really be for the benefit of Chelsea if this deal happened for real. They would love to have a reliable striker instead of Jackson.

Chelsea should not be on that pressure too much to get another striker that will come into the team and add to the number of players that they've brought in and have not performed to standard. If they really want Osimhen, then they should just buy him instead of trying to get him on loan. If they do not want to spend a lot of money, then they have Jackson who can do better this season if the new coach works on him because he is not really a bad player, he is just not good at scoring goals, and that can be improved on.

[Lannakosa]

I am not saying that he won't be retired from being a head coach, a manager, I am just saying that he may not be retired from football all together, that feels not so smart.

So far he said that he needs to rest for some time, and he promised that he will never coach another team in the Premier League, so we can conclude that Klopp will never return to the Premier League (maybe except Liverpool, which I also doubt). Maybe when he rests enough and misses football he will want to come back, at least people who retired early, often said that it becomes too boring to rest for a long time. And Guardiola also said that he does not believe, that Klopp can be without football for a long time.
