⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[abhiseshakana]

Xavi Hernandez were doing good job in limited sources with having good results in La Liga is also impressive from his perspective but suddenly things gone wrong because Barcelona President Joan Laporte never like truth so they have confrontation which ends on exit of Xavi from his job with we all know things are not good for the Barcelona under President Joan Laporte, but he is incharge and no one can talk truth in front of him.

Now how things will be work under Hansi Flick its interesting because we have to understand few ground realities as Barcelona is no longer able to perform at the top level with this condition, and they needed few quality players which are no coming due to lack of funds but now as expectations are high for new coach we have to watch this season then we can talk about this even mostly are not happy with this.

Xavi spoke the truth. Maybe it's like an outburst of disappointment because he felt he didn't get full support from the board but instead of getting what he wanted he was fired because of it. It's not meant to compare him with Hansi Flick, but Xavi already has quite good trust from his players, something that Hansi Flick may not have had at Barcelona to this day.

Hansi Flick is a good coach but the burden he had to bear was quite big. He not only has to earn the trust of players and the fans, but he also has to struggle with all of Barcelona's current shortcomings.

Is there still a possibility for Kimmich to leave Bayern Munich?

Yes, Bayern Munich is open to let Kimmich go to other clubs if he refuses to renew his contract with the club because his contract with Bayern Munich will expire next year, so the club don't want him to move out on a free transfer hence the door is very much open for any club to sign the German international defensive and right back midfielder. Possibly, Kimmich may consider moving to the France ligue 1 side PSG who have been making move to sign the German footballer for some time now but haven't gotten a concrete response from Bayern Munich about the player, perhaps Bayern Munich want the player to renew his contract but if the player don't renew his contract then there's every possibility that PSG can sign him.

I know why Arsenal rejected Marseille's offer and I'm sure everyone knows that the reason is because Eddie Nketiah is a great player and Arsenal only gave a price that is equivalent to the performance that Eddie Nketiah has.
Arsenal just don't want to lose when losing their great player for a cheap price and for example Marseille withdraws to stop pursuing the player, Arsenal doesn't feel like they've lost because he can still make a good contribution to Arsenal.

What do you think about Marseille's failure to get Eddie Nketiah?

Marseille did the right thing since they cannot afford to pay such huge amount for the player.

As for Arsenal, I don’t blame them because the guy worth the amount they are putting on him. He is a good striker that have reasonable number of goals when given opportunity to ply, he only lacks playing time which was the reason why many teams were underrating him, but if he can be given some playing time, he can perform well and will prove his worth to the world.
Nevertheless, I still prefer him to go to any Premier League team than going to Marseille. And Marseille will regret not getting to negotiate with Arsenal because I don’t think they have any striker that can give them high number of goals than him.

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.

Situation about Victor Osimhen is currently not clear so most chances we will have him in Napoli for another season because price tag is high, and many clubs are already having end of their interest as well because last offer were from the Newcastle United €100 Million were rejected after this we have no official offer with Chelsea and Napoli both are working on swap which is also looking not easy, so things are going not ideal for the all parties.

There were rumours we will have PSG into this as well but nothing coming from them which is really interested but as now we have few days left in start of the season we will have updates about this as well but for me most chances he will stay at the Napoli, and we will have this combo again at the top in Serie A.

Arsenal is having their all weapons ready for the next season even few are saying they are looking for good striker but if we have anything related to this hopefully all will be done before start of the season as Arsenal management is happy with Mikel Arteta, and they are ready to spend more funds for win in coming season.

Is there still a possibility for Kimmich to leave Bayern Munich?

Because recently he has stated that his agreement with Bayern Munich has not yet reached a bright spot and this allows him to move at any time without having to wait for the existing agreement. Indirectly this also signals to any team that is still interested in recruiting him and I think it will be a very good thing as long as the summer transfer market has not closed.

Previously we knew there were rumors of interest from several top European teams such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, Manchester City, or even Liverpool and this will invite competition who will get this player with one more season left on his contract.

Last season, I felt like he could leave Bayern Munich with Thomas Tuchel still in charge but with Thomas Tuchel gone, let's see what happens with Vincent Kompany.

I honestly, would have loved him to leave, but I'm not the player, he could still want to have a talk with the manager to know if he has plans to work with him this season. If the talks end negatively, then believe me he'll be looking for his next club. But, it's been weeks since the last game they played in thr Euros against Spain. He must have done that right now, No?!

Manchester United? Hell No! He never close to joining Manchester United. Manchester United weren't even linked to get him honestly. Real Madrid I never heard nor read. A move to both Manchester City and Barcelona was what I read. I would rather the move to Barcelona anyways. He could serve as a defensive midfielder for them.

If am to choose between the two teams then I guess or prefer that he chooses Manchester city as pep guadiola would really exploited his potentials because I believe kimmich is really a great player and feel a slight limitations to what he is capable of after last season performance and campaign with Bayern Munich and I guess he himself have also felt this after placing his comment on the doors being opened to all who seems interested in his playing capabilities.

This statement serves like an open statement that he’s ready to leave at anytime especially if the team would not want to utilise him against next season. I have not seen anything wrong in the type of football he plays or base on the contributions he can give to the team as a midfielder. Kompany should have a major say on this player at this stage, whether he’ll want to utilise the player or not. They’ve actually come a long way with him in the club and also a great player for his home country Germany.

Losing him to another club now that the club needs reviving will be a great loss to them. From the many teams showing interest in him if he leaves the club and the calibre of those teams really makes a lot of meaning that he’s a great asset to any club he joins now. Bayern Munich shouldn’t do anything to lose him, they will just have to wait and see how things go with him, but from that statement, he’s ready for both options whichever that may arise.

I think at the moment Chelsea as agree terms with Aston Villa for Lukaku since they are getting tired of waiting for Napoli though I think Lukaku is currently interested to Napoli move https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-agree-romelu-lukaku-surprise-premier-league-rivals-napoli-aston-villa/blt94a4dc8df7ff9fbf

I think after Julián Álvarez transfer has been sorted out all other club will have their eye mainly at Osimhen since they see him as a more better option base on injury stat and also price tag from the fact that he can also get the job done.
Currently PSG has join Atletico Madrid for the race for his signature while it seems like Arsenal are just monitoring the situation, though I think if Napoli will want to really get the €100 Million+ they are currently looking for Osimhen then they have to let him remain at the club this season and hope he doesn't have frequent injury then maybe other team will be ready to get him probably during january transfer or next year July/August transfer.

Kimmich's future is very certain. A month ago, Bayern Munich was open to big offers for him. But, there was no news on which club wanted to buy him. And I tell you that if Romano's tweet was not mentioning the full statement from Kimmich.

And here's his full statement.

“In general, you can always talk to each other sensibly. I think all doors are open for everyone. I feel very comfortable here. All my children were born here; we built here.”

It's very obvious Kimmich is opening his door for a new contract with Bayern Munich. And again, Bayern is also keen on discussing a new contract for him. It's unlikely Kimmich is going to PSG. Even if PSG wants him, they must prepare a big proposal to get Kimmich.
Kimmich signaled he is open to renewing his contract with Bayern, which ends in 2025.

They can't afford not too, should the botch an extension to his contract, Newcastle will never be the same!! Just said we didn't see him play in the Euro's to get other clubs interested him and keep Newcastle at their edge of their seat .

Previously, Kimmich was reported by Romano to be on PSG's shortlist, let's see if PSG is serious about bringing in this midfielder. Although their target is Joao Neves, it seems that Enrique still needs a fairly experienced player in midfield for his team. In addition, Kimmich is also a player who can be played in several positions, plus he is a very established player and can be relied on by PSG if they can bring him in. In this summer's transfer window, the steps taken by PSG seem to involve the coach, considering that the previous season Paris Saint-Germain needed an established DM player that Enrique wanted. Well, so far there have been no concrete steps taken by PSG to bring in this Bayern Munich player. But if we refer to the news reported by Fabrizio Romano, it is suspected that he could move to another club and league and the closest to him is Paris Saint-Germain. If PSG can bring in some of the players they are targeting plus Joshua Kimmich, this team seems to be going to put up quite an interesting fight in the Champions League. btw, I'm sure Bayern Munich wants Joshua Kimmich to stay. However, we'll just have to wait and see what happens in the summer transfer window.

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.

Girona having good start of season with coach Michel who is with team for last 3 years done good job and keep his strategy aggressively which help his team to stay into hunt for top four spots after having promotion just one season back things were looking ideal and their team's depth were also at the top for keeping things on staying into top spots in presence of teams which are having good experience and sources they have done good job.

Now as they already sold their player Dovbyk Artem to AS Roma things are looking not good because they needed to keep themselves well-prepared for having good results in coming season, but this amount can help them for having few good players which are also able to perform good and having Champions League and La Liga at the same level because now this is important season for them if they are able to have good chemistry then we can expect good future of this club for long time in La Liga.

Not so many news for today, and only 2 more week for the start of the major seasons.

Delay is nothing as much as the players are still ready to make the switch to Manchester United. It's four weeks since Manchester United made approach for de Ligt and he has said no to other clubs. All he wants is a deal to Manchester United. As for the other ( Mazraoui ) he could be available for next Saturday Community Shield against Manchester City according to reports.

Anthony Gordon was the second creativity force for Newcastle United last season after Trippier. They're obviously trying to halt his move to Liverpool.

I don't know nothing about Guido Rodriguez. I think they need to sort the defensive side of the team which they suffered heavily last season. They need good defender's.

What's the update on Nicklas Füllkrug? Has the move to West Ham United happened?!

[alegotardo]

Anthony Gordon was the second creativity force for Newcastle United last season after Trippier. They're obviously trying to halt his move to Liverpool.

I honestly don't understand why the sports news is still filling its pages with rumors about this almost impossible transfer of Anthony Gordon to Liverpool.

The first rumor about this is almost 2 months old and at the time they were in financial difficulties and could still face sanctions for violating the Premier League's financial rules. However, at the last minute the club raised good money by selling Minteh and Elliot Anderson, and despite nothing concrete between Gordon and Liverpool, the rumor about the striker's move to the Reds has recently reignited.

I believe the reason for this is that the club has not yet made any moves in this transfer window, but if the Reds really want to invest in the 22-year-old player, they will have to raise funds to balance their finances. In this scenario, the club can clean up the squad and sell at least three players.

Is it worth so much effort??

The point is that he needs an experienced coach who knows how to push Kimmich to the limits. If I were Kimmich and I played under Guardiola, Ancelotti, Heynckes, Flick, Nagelsmann and Tuchel and now Kompany comes and I am not in the best condition because circumstances have changed a bit for the worse and I would need a great coach who knows how to handle things, well then I would consider leaving the club.

If it is true that Barcelona and Manchester City have been watching out for him, why not go for it if it is possible and play under Flick in Barcelona or Guardiola in Manchester. I am not sure I would like to go through a lot of shit and then have a coach behind me who won't be taken seriously by anyone.

Bayern Munich said no 2 times to Manchester United's bids for De Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.

I wonder how much the Red Devils have been offering...    Because they really need new defenders to improve their performance. The number of goals they conceded previously was just too high.

de Ligt should absolutely be signed. If they spent 60 million euros on Leny Yoro then they should be ready for paying that much for de Ligt already. As long as they spend their money on the right players, I don't see any problem.

I understand their interest in Mazraoui too. Wan-Bissaka can't play well. Dalot is also not very good now. Mazraoui would perform much better than both. But probably they will have to pay more than 100 million euros in total for these 2 players so they should get ready for that.

[Lillominato89]

I am of the opinion that Chelsea is not at all interested in spending crazy amounts of money to buy Victor Osimhen, he has blatantly said that he would like to go and play in France and PSG was interested in the player but with the arrival of Antonio Conte at Napoli he will probably be able to stay one more year.

It was precisely the arrival of Antonio Conte that put Osimhen in an unclear situation. Conte did not include Osimhen in the main squad plan and instead wanted to take Lukaku instead. Conte and Lukaku have a special relationship so there is no other way but to kick Osimhen from his position. PSG dared to buy Osimhen but not at the price Napoli wanted so until now the deal has not continued. The same is true with Chelsea who did not dare to spend money at a fantastic price. So the Osimhen problem seems unlikely to be realized this season and the last option is to wait for Conte to change his mind and make him a main player.

By now it is well known that Antonio Conte has Romelu Lukaku as a protégé, but I honestly believe that they will want to sell Victor Osimhen just to be able to fix the team with the money collected from the sale of the Nigerian. I, however, personally believe that Osimhen is clearly better in every way compared to Lukaku, but who knows what Conte will have in mind, the market is still long and anything can happen

I don't know how much Manchester United are offering this is not publicized by the media but for two players De Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui Bayer Munich want €70 million.

De Ligt €50 million
Mazraoui €20 million

It seems that the offer from Manchester United is too low so this proposal is rejected raw because it is too low and it could be €50 million for both players but we never know what they are talking about.

Napoli had already sealed the deal on Lukaku and wanted  to sell Osimen to PSG but the money offered by PSG is not enough, so it's up for Napoli to lower his price to get a potential buyer, I don't think Arsenal would sign him because the team had retained Gabriel Jesus as their main striker with Havertz who also doubles as their striker even without a full No 9 the team scored many goals this Arteta wouldn't make any offer to Osimen, though I still believe during the last day of transfer window a potential buyer would emerge to sign him else I think Conte has any plan for him in Napoli.
