⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

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.

I think it's natural for Napoli to want a big profit from the sale of Victor Oshimen because the player is very valuable and has contributed greatly to the club so far, Napoli when they bought Oshimen from Lille for 70 million euros and then after playing for 4 seasons they started to raise the price because they felt Oshimen could be on par with other expensive players, Jude Bellingham, Erling Haaland and also Mbappe but for some reason there is not much interest in Oshimen's current price even PSG or Chelsea even though they are actually quite capable of buying this player.

Napoli bought Osimhen at a high price from Lille, but Napoli should not be looking for a profit that is double their previous purchase price, Many teams that were previously linked with Osimhen actually decided that they did not want to continue negotiations with Napoli, because Napoli were holding out for the same price they previously decided for Osimhen, currently Chelsea and PSG have the financial power to them buy Osimhen but they don't do it because maybe they don't think it's worth buying Osimhen at the current high price, besides, don't financial fair regulations also require each team to be more selective in buy players so that their income and financial expenses can be balanced later, while Chelsea has currently spent a lot of money to buy players and of course it is very risky if they spend even more money to get Osimhen, while PSG seems like they currently don't want to buy Osimhen price dearly because of Osimhen inconsistent performance in the last 4 seasons.

The main obstacle is Osimhen's inconsistent performance as we have seen in the last 2 seasons so that clubs are hesitant to bring him in especially because the price is also expensive obviously they must have considered it. Imagine if Osimhen had been able to play consistently in the last 2 seasons, the situation would have been different and there is a possibility that Osimhen will be on the radar of elite clubs. The only way to get them to sign Osimhen is to set a lower price but I doubt Napoli will do it moreover as you said Napoli spent 70 million when they brought him in so it doesn't make sense if they let him go for less than 70 million. If there is no other option then Osimhen will remain with Napoli next season.

so, for the moment he is not coming back but if he has a good project he will be back in the future. IMHO.

I don't know why Jurgen Klopp is confusing people on the future of his career, he initially said he was going for a break and would be back, but now he says he might not be back again. I think the media should just let Jurgen Klopp be, and allow him decide what he wants to do with his career in private. If he eventually returns to management, then great, but if he does not, i wish him all the best with his family, having fun in a beach and living a quiet life.

Klopp decision when he was decide to break from football was final and currently he really enjoying family time such as vacationing with his family which is something like this he couldn't get when coaching Liverpool because we all know Klopp is very busy when train this team before and Klopp has spend over than 23 years during his managerial since 2001 so i think it's normal if he want to take a break from football and want spend more time with his family

So far Klopp hasn't decide will retired permanently from football which mean after his break then Klopp probably will thinking possibility to return to training the particular teams but he says everything will be decided in the next several months depend on the situations and indeed currently Klopp has been rumoured to several national team and clubs but apparently that is only remains rumour because until now Klopp still have new clubs

The latest rumour i have read is Klopp was linked to England National Team and we all know after Southgate was withdraw from his position currently England have no manager and so far England Football federation still attempts want to hire new managers and previously this team was linked to Guardiola but this rumour was never happend because apparently Guardiola not interested to train England even so with Klopp that he has no plan to being an new manager of England and Klopp has been refuse that rumour too

Actually, I quite feel sorry for Hansi Flick. He is a great coach, and indeed Barcelona is also a great team but I think Hansi Flick came to Barcelona at the wrong time. Like Xavi, Hansi Flick will most likely face the same problem. Barcelona's financial problems make them have limited spending. So it is clearly quite difficult for Barcelona to get Nico Williams and Dani Olmo at the same time unless they want to let go of some of their players to get fresh income that they can use. Another option is to reduce the salary budget for the players but obviously, it can trigger disharmony and I think that will be a tough problem for the new coach.

I don't know why Hansi Flick would accept the offer to coach Barcelona with their current poor financial condition, this will be a problem for Hansi Flick who is not free to choose the players he wants for the strategy he will implement, and can only utilize the young players currently available, this is a challenge for Hansi Flick, if Barcelona fans demand more from Hansi Flick with Barcelona's current condition, in my opinion that is excessive, Barcelona must immediately rise and fix its finances, so that it can become a feared football club like in the Pep Guardiola era.

It reason is quite simple. If you were a jobless man, then why would you reject Barcelona's lucrative offer for you? If i were Flick, I would also like to accept an offer that came from Barcelona. This is pretty obvious Flick will not be getting any risk by becoming Barcelona's coach.

He's only getting a burden as a coach with so many targets and terms from Barcelona. Also, don't mind a target from your fans, and this would not be affecting how well your career in Barcelona. It's rare to see the team's decision being intervened by the fans. Also, the financial issue in Barcelona is the club's fault. Hansi Flick cannot be blamed.

Barcelona fans know well the financial state of their club. This is why they are not putting high expectations for Flick's job as a new coach.

Mikel Merino is about to join Arsenal and play for this team soon. Arsenal want to get the team improved and finally win the premier league title from Manchester City after years of losing it and that's why they decided to hire more players for Arteta.
They want to hire Mikel Merino the player of Real Sociedad. Merino has good physics and since he is not going to expensive option for Arsenal and they should only pay 30 million euros he is a good option for Arteta and his team.


 

[Mr.right85]

How Arsenal aren't going for Osimhen with everything they have got is still amazing me because, that's what big teams do.
Manchester City needed a CF and went all out for Haaland. They simply showed workings and got their man. Osimhen price has really dropped down. It’s now below €100. That, for me, is the level raiser.

Maybe, either Osimhen isn't Arteta’s undisputed first choice or they are still not sure if they need an out and out striker or a winger. I said so because i have seen how they go for the players that they want aggressively.

Yeah I also heard this news at least Arsenal are eyeing 2 players from Spain Mikel Merino and Fabián Ruiz, for some reason so far Arsenal have only focused on the defense and midfield even though we know they also need a striker. I honestly don't understand what Arteta is planning by bringing in midfielders and defenders while Arsenal still holds the record as the team with the best defense last season because they only conceded 29 goals and be the least compared to other teams so why is Arsenal still strengthening that position? So far I am not too sure if Arsenal can replace Manchester City to win the trophy unless Arsenal have a new player in attack line.

why not? if you watch Barcelona preseason then you will know that Hansi Flick is able to implement an ideal game system on the field even though he only uses young players from the La Masia academy. I don't care about Barcelona finances because that's Laporta problem, if necessary Barcelona finances will not be resolved in a short time. Barcelona still has debts to 26 different clubs which are estimated to be worth more than 200 million Euros. All of these debts are the accumulation of previous debts. In the 2022 season in the midst of the financial crisis, Barcelona made a number of reckless player purchases such as Lewandowski, Kounde, and Raphinha, where Barcelona arrears to him reached 24 million Euros + 38 million Euros in long-term installments, Leeds United, and commissions for the previous 3 clubs.

Hansi Flick knows what he has to do, he also knows the current condition of Barcelona. he is not stupid or anything that would suggest he made a big mistake by accepting Barcelona offer. Every coach has his own reasons when accepting or rejecting an offer that comes. Hansi Flick accepted Barcelona's offer with open arms despite the huge burden he would carry, of course he felt capable of helping Barcelona improve their performance even though they were in financial trouble.
The financial constraints that Barcelona are currently facing make it difficult for them to recruit new players, but Hansi Flick believes in the process, because hard work will not betray the results. His first season at Barcelona may be difficult, but when he enters his second season, he may find success with Barcelona.

Osimhen was one of the players who entered the Arsenal target radar and some time ago the rumors were increasingly sticking out, but at this time it seemed like it was sinking again. I don't know for sure whether this is because they are not really interested or they don't want to spend a little big money to get Osimhen's signature. Apart from that, maybe they also still have some names that they are ready to be after but they have not published it.

Arsenal with a play style without target in front as did Manchester City. But for last season and the previous few seasons were quite effective for them when doing that strategy. Mikel Arteta has been in Arsenal for a long time, so he should have been very familiar with the needs of the team, if they need to use a pure striker as a target ahead, or he feels that the strategy he often uses is still enough for Arsenal to achieve an achievement. Let's wait until the announcement of the transfer window is closed

Once again Arsenal have secured a quality player and I think the decision to sign Mikel Merino is the right one. This will give Arsenal a much more creative midfield and Mikel Arteta a lot of variety in attack. I still remember Mikel Merino scoring one of the important goals when he was with Spain in the Euros and since then I think he is an underrated player who is rarely noticed.

The fee is much more affordable considering Arsenal have no competition for Mikel Merino's services and I don't think the fee from Real Sociedad is too big to increase profits. What is clear is that the relationship between Arsenal and Real Sociedad will be better in the future and I can't wait for another transfer from Arsenal that will be even more surprising.

I’m really excited about this signing. He’s a winner and a very intelligent player. Arteta was key to this deal. He’ll give them another shape if they want to initiate another tactics.
What I really like about this signing is that;

1. He makes more tackles than Rice
2. He has far more aerial duel wins
3. Wins more duels(obviously)
4. Wins more GROUND duels
5. More ball recoveries than Rice.

Now, when you watch Rice, the guy does all these things exceptionally well. Rarely has lapses. But with these metrics that Merino is bringing, Its exciting to see how they will both complement each other on the field.

[fuguebtc]

Its crazy offer giving Barcelona for signing Dani Olmo trough installments payment because Leipzig won't sell his players without getting cash once time.
Dani Olmo have impressive performance for Leipzig last season and success keep his consistency performance in Euro 2024 with Spain, currently not only with Barcelona but also Manchester City have interested for signing Dani Olmo and give more excited offering than Barcelona.

Barcelona need to sell their players and get fund for signing Dani Olmo with full payment without installments, based on market values of Dani Olmo around 64 million euro Barcelona need that amount if want sign Olmo or waiting until his contract expiring around several years later with RB Leipzig.

Barcelona is trying to force it and in my opinion this is because of panic in preparing strength for next season. Buying Dani Olmo in installments will force their finances to be unstable and on another occasion they also want young player Nico Williams so that it will increase the financial burden at the same time. The club where they play will definitely let go when they get an offer like what they want, but I doubt Barcelona can buy them both at the same time.

What Barcelona needs to do is to make the club's finances more stable and buying players in the hope of competing with other clubs will be very difficult in the midst of poor financial conditions. The strength they have now is quite good although it will take time for them to develop very well.

Don't get me wrong i don't say Fati is not good but he might play half of the season & injured the rest of the season

Actually, right now Barcelona is obviously in a poor financial situation. Taking these decisions definitely does not look very good for the future of Barcelona. But at the same time, not bringing in any players that the new coach wants will also not be good for the financial situation of Barcelona. That's why I think it was a big mistake for Barcelona to actually bring in a new coach in this situation. Now that they have brought in new coach, they will have to spend more money than they needed to if they had Xavi. But Barcelona have to spend right now, right? that's why they are trying to do almost anything to bring in the players that they want. Installments plans are not good for both parties in my opinion. And especially for the party that is selling the player. so it is understandable why many clubs or the clubs that Barcelona has approached for the players are not that interested in the team.

Mikel Merino is one step away from becoming an Arsenal player after Arsenal offered almost 30 million euros to Real Sociedad and he has also agreed a personal deal with Arsenal at this time, apart from that, looking at Real Sociedad who has now officially signed Luka Sučić from Salzburg, it looks like the inauguration of Mikel Merino as Arsenal players are just waiting for time now, Mikel Merino has previously played for Newcastle and you can be sure he will no longer have difficulty adapting to the English league competete, I think , Mikel Merino will be a pretty solid midfield duo if he is partnered with Declan Rice, because  the both players actually have statistics that are not much different at the moment, although Mikel Merino is superior to Declan Rice on defense, but in terms of assisting in attack, Declan Rice is actually superior to Mikel Merino, so I think the two of them will really complement each other to help Arsenal next season.

Arsenal won't go for Osimhen because he is not a stable player and he is expensive for Arsenal. In fact, we can't be sure what kind of performance Osimhen can have in the other teams than Napoli. He had a good performance in the last season but recently he was totally not in the good form and he couldn't have good performance anymore while Osimhen was playing in the same team. This can make Osimhen an unstable player and this won't make him a good option for Arsenal because of his price the have to pay which is 100 million euros and his performance.

Even in such a difficult financial situation Barcelona is still a strong brand, besides the club is not bankrupt and still has high level players like: Lewandowski, Rafinha, Ter Stegen, Gundogan, Yamal, Pedri, De Jong and even with the difficult financial situation the club has players with whom you can fight for the championship next season, the main thing is not to get so many injuries as now, when it seems that already about 8 players were injured before the season.

I like the energy that Arsenal is showing this season, they are showing that they are going to play very well this season, I love it when a team signs more talented players to improve the team's performance, arsenal did not sign players last season like this season and I think that’s one of the things that affect, a team should sign players who are very good and strong that they can help the team, I like the way Arteta is doing now to improve the squad, if arsenal signs strong players I believe that they can be able to compete with Manchester City and also win a trophy.

Arsenal is doing a great job but they haven’t done it all because I’m still not satisfied with Arsenal wing players, I always mention Saka's position whenever I talk about Arsenal, saka needs an assist in that position, I’m very sure of what I’m saying, Saka needs an assist in the position because if we look at it when Saka got injury the team find it difficult to get someone to play the position, Arsenal need another right winger that will help saka because the pressure will be too much for him and when pressure is too much a player will be tire and won’t be able to perform well in some matches.

Girona's success last season was not just based on one player, but all the players actually worked according to what the coach expected. Girona plays with ambition and good tactics, of course this starts with a strong defense, creative midfielders and productive attackers. I applaud last season's performance, but I realize that their performance will never be the same next season due to several factors including the departure of several main players.

It is true that Girona's success last season was not due to one player and if it only relied on one player, it would be called tennis, not football.
I admit that Girona's game was very good with strategy and tactics, at least during the first half of the season even though at the end of the season they experienced a decline.
We'll see, but I want to say that the sale of Artem Dovyk will be a loss even though they are currently benefiting from the costs obtained from Artem Dovyk.

The final offer from Juventus to Atalanta for Koopeminers is set to be for this weekend.
The agent of the player is now following the team on social media and this can be a big clue for a deal already done.

It is rumored to be 50+5m €.
This is a huge expence for Serie A in the current situation but a good one for one of the top players in his role in the world.
Koop can be a starter in any team in Europe at the moment.

Actually, right now Barcelona is obviously in a poor financial situation. Taking these decisions definitely does not look very good for the future of Barcelona. But at the same time, not bringing in any players that the new coach wants will also not be good for the financial situation of Barcelona. That's why I think it was a big mistake for Barcelona to actually bring in a new coach in this situation.

And especially for the party that is selling the player. so it is understandable why many clubs or the clubs that Barcelona has approached for the players are not that interested in the team.

You have it all mixed up, the coaching change happened because Xavi demanded new transfers, and Flick agreed that he would work without new transfer spending in the offseason. Obviously, this move when they decided not to extend Felix's loan and take Fati in his place. In fact, they should have kept Felix and taken Fati and maybe a few other good players, but the reality is that they simply cannot afford it.
