⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[EarnOnVictor]

Victor Osimhen is no longer the most sought-after signing on the transfer market like this time last year. It was Napoli's decline and Osimhen himself. Since playing professionally, the 25-year-old striker's biggest problem has been his ability to contribute regularly. Osimhen is no longer the dangerous threat in the box that he was in the 2022-23 campaign. So clubs are doubting the talent of this player. They are very cautious because they can be cheated with the current price

You are on point on this, if it were to be the season before the just-concluded one, he would have been long gone by now, but instead, Napoli made sure they make him stay and find a way to increase his pay and invariably increase what they can gain on him. But it seems the whole plan has backfired now. I had a premonition about what is happening around him now and I doubted if his feat would be the same the way it was when Napoli won the Scudetto. Victor dropped so much in both performance and moral ratings last season but clubs are still bidding for him, except that the magnitude and offers have reduced.

If Osimhen did not play for glory but for money, then I think everything would be solved very simply. He should go to Saudi Arabian clubs. They have enough money to release Osimhen from his Napoli contract and will not hesitate to pay him a big salary. But if it's for glory then my condolences to him, maybe he should wait for the contract to end. If Napoli does not lower the price, European clubs will remove Osimhen from their recruitment list this summer.

I mention not playing for glory but for the money in the sense that when the negotiation with a certain club is not yielding results and he is being linked again with other clubs from other leagues, he quickly considers them as all the headlines and his focus would immediately shift to them. Even a few interviews he granted show he is not rigid about his decisions. This could only mean that he doesn't know what he wants for himself, otherwise, he would have had all focus pointing towards a signing in a particular league and for a particular reason, especially EPL where the winning of the local league and UCL is surer.

I think Kimmich has a real chance of transferring, especially after his recent comments. If Bayern can't convince him to extend his contract, other clubs may ramp up their efforts. Manchester United and Real Madrid are serious players, but Liverpool could also be in the mix. Time will tell

I'm sorry but did you read Kimmich's recent comment before? I meant he's opening the door for Bayern to extend his contract. I think Kimmich prefers to stay at Bayern rather than leave. This is all because of his family.

Also, Bayern Munich won't let him go without a big proposal, which means Bayern is ready to open only for the big deal. Since June, it has been reported that big clubs want to sign him. But no serious offer has come so far. That's my reason to believe Kimmich is not likely leaving in this summer window.

Kimmich situation at Bayern Munich is still a mystery to us all, previously Kimmich had rejected a new contract offer from Bayern Munich and hoped he could move to another team this summer, but now it turns out he is starting to be open to staying at Bayern Munich, previously there were many offers coming from big European clubs but so far he have continued to avoid these clubs even though they dare to pay Kimmich a high salary, Kimmich has a great desire to leave Bayern Munich after his relationship with Tuchel deteriorated last season and was even openly involved in conflict with Tuchel made him not feel comfortable being in Munich, but it seems that Tuchel departure may has changed his desire to leave and currently he has entered into new contract talks with Munich even though his salary may will be reduced.

If Victor Oshime is too expensive, have you clarified the valuation for the players on this image?! They're not so different from Victor Oshime if you ask me. Alexander Isaak has premier league experience but he is currently place 120m euros, the same goes to Viktor Gyokeres who is over a hundred million euros likewise. Victor Oshime remains the main deal but since Todd Boehly took charge, Chelsea gradually looking like a profit making club.

That's said. Despite lacking Champions League football, Victor Oshime still remains the only man wanting to swing into Chelsea.. This is honestly not that time to lament honestly. They should look for solutions to solve the striker role. They rely on Nicholas Jackson and it'll be another try and error season.

In conclusion, Chelsea defense seem to be in shambles, hopefully they'll get in shape before Manchester City. Recce James will not be able to play the first two games or three when the season kicks off.

Also, the biggest difference is that Osimhen is openly trying to get out, meaning that while Napoli is not accepting any offers right now, neither from PSG nor from Chelsea, it's clear that Osimhen would leave for free if they do not let him go, which means that Napoli is forced to sell him eventually.

The fact that they haven't so far, looks quite similar to when PSG was offered 150+ for Mbappe and they declined, which was a stupid move and they ended up getting nothing for him. Same will 100% will happen if Napoli doesn't sell Osimhen, I guarantee you that Osimhen will not extend his contract with Napoli, and I even guarantee you that he will say he is injured when he is not.

Napoli must sell, and Chelsea knows this, and forces them, and forces Osimhens Agent to force the team too, meaning that eventually whatever they can negotiate, they will eventually accept the last one. It is getting quite boring for teams because at this point, they are overpaying for Osimhen, and they are still not getting him, which is silly. Teams are literally offering money way more than what Osimhen is worth, he doesn't worth anything NEAR 120, I would say max 80, and yet Napoli still rejects, so this will get quite old very soon.

Most likely he will stay at Bayern Munich for next season, after he said he was ready to extend his contract. You are also right, Bayern Munich will not be possible to let this player leave without any benefits they can get. Kimmich also has a contract until 2025, that means there is still plenty of time for Bayern Munich to convince him with the assumption of Kimmich Tetarik to leave Bayern Munich.

Slightly added about Real Madrid because OP said Real Madrid was interested in bringing it. Ancelotti said that Real Madrid would not sign and sell players in the squad now, that means they have also closed themselves to find new players. Unless maybe in the next transfer market they will return to bring new names if the squad is currently deemed not enough to see from their performance in the season that has been running later. Oh yeah, by the way we will see the season starting soon.

Tammy Abraham the player of Roma made his decision and he wants to play for AC Milan in the next season.
AC Milan wants to get ready for the next season and they hired some players, they recently hired Álvaro Morata from Atletico Madrid for 13 million euros but they still want to hire more players and now it seems Tammy Abraham is about to join this team soon.
Tammy Abraham had some other offers from teams like Everton but he prefers to stay in Serie A and play for AC Milan in the next season.
 

Tammy Abraham at Roma, its a good team, but Dovbyk's arrival changes things. Less play time for Tammy is not ideal for a striker with potential.

After Giroud left, AC Milan needed firepower. Abraham quite well fits that description. He is young, proven scorer. His combination with Morata might also be explosive. Two world-class strikers, feeding off one another, generate opportunities, goals. Not only in Italy but also around Europe, that kind of attacking threat wins titles.

This isnt just about filling a gap in the squad. Milan is making a calculated action here, a declaration to the world that they take winning seriously. They are investing in a future where they will be competing at the greatest level, not only in a player.

Indeed, this movement makes a great sense. For Milan, for Abraham, for the supporters - its great. Its a win-win situation, and thats the kind of deal I like to see.

Napoli just need to realize that their club is not the same as PSG when releasing Mbappe still does not make this club short of money and when making an offer PSG has more than what is offered to Mbappe. Well, while Napoli is very far from being financially balanced, so like it or not in the end if they still want to sell Osimhen at a high price any club is reluctant to negotiate and in the end Osimhen leaves for free. Indeed, Osimhen position in terms of price is not much different from Alexander Isaak and Viktor Gyokeres. However, in terms of popularity Osimhen is still above both of them, supported by the media that always makes his name big, managed to lift the trophy in the 2022/23 season with Napoli and scored 26 goals. Let's compare the last 2 seasons what achievements can be lifted by Alexander Isaak and Viktor Gyokeres? nothing is impressive.

[Webetcoins]

Tammy Abraham definitely should go to Milan, he would be a perfect fit for them and definitely something that would be amazing. We should really consider how Roma is just not that good and Abraham wants to be in a team that is much better because he deserves to be in a team that is much better. This is why I believe that we are going to see this transfer done.

The problem is that I am not entirely sure if Milan has this kind of money, doesn't mean that they don't, but feels like they usually do not spend this much money on players. I can see that it is an issue, but we need to realize that Milan won't be spending some 50 million or whatever on Abraham, even 30 is questionable, the negotiation with Roma will take some time for sure.

It seems that the puzzle about Xavi Simons' future has been answered now because he remains in Leipzig and does not want to go anywhere despite attractive offers from Bayern and Manchester United but it seems that he is more comfortable in Leipzig especially since he already has a special position where he is difficult to replace as an attacking midfielder from Leipzig.

This is certainly an advantage for Leipzig because it cannot be denied that Xavi Simons is one of the players who quite shone in his performance last season with Leipzig and his performance at the Euro made him seen by many people because he managed to bring the Netherlands to the semi-finals.
In addition, this is also certainly a very good strength even though Dani Olmo left Leipzig but at least they still managed to keep Xavi Simons, Openda and Benjamin Sesko from leaving so there is little hope for Leipzig's performance to be better next season, especially for domestic competitions.

[Oluwa-btc]

70 million euros for both? What are they waiting for then, just buy them!    I mean I was expecting only de Ligt himself to cost them such amount. Maybe the news source is also not sure about the number.

Investments into defense line is very valuable for the Red Devils this summer. The mentioned players are both talented. I wouldn't expect any of them to perform poorly. They would be better than the ones in the current squad at least.  

Maybe the Red Devils want to keep their finances as balanced as possible not to have issues with FFP. Otherwise I believe their budget would be huge for transfers. If they sell the names in their transfer list everything will be easier.

Man you just said what I had up in my head. Get them signed up already. Winning the community shield should be first priority, finishing top four at the end of the season should be second while winning the European Europa League Competition should be the third. In my opinion getting a solid defense would help Manchester United get all these done. It's sad to see the delays. Exactly, de Ligt is even worth €60M alone why delay this shiit? Manchester United cannot rely on Harry Maguire and  Lindelof on GOD!!

This should be completely one month and they're yet to get this done completely. As for the gake last night, we can see how well they need a new defensive midfielder and also defenders.

They have to sell before they can buy in my opinion. They should try to wrap up the deal with West Ham for Aaron Wan Bisakka. I think the last night should be his last game for the club. Getting these players listed will make the job swift for Erik Ten Hag, just like his first season where he had enough options.

[Iranus]

Another player left Manchester City, Yan Couto the Brazilian player of this team joined Dortmund.
Yan Couto is a 22-year-old player and he needs to be in the team where he can have more chances to play and that's why he left Manchester City to play where he can have more chances to play.
Yan Couto is going to play in Dortmund on loan and if they they want to have this player permanently they should pay 30 million euros for him.
He never played for his team in the Premier League and he was always playing for other teams like Girona on loan where he had good performances.

 

Right now Manchester City is literally suffering from success. Manchester City has so many great players that the young players are not getting enough chances. yeah of course the young players will need to play as many matches as they can so that they can gain the experience needed for them to improve. So it is the right decision for the young players to leave Manchester City and go to another club where they will be able to get enough chances to prove themselves. Even if we look at Cole Palmer. He was a player at Manchester City and he was literally told that he’s not going to get many chances and Chelsea approached him at that moment. He went to Chelsea and became one of the best English players in recent times. So of course these things are going to happen and it is how it is.

Yan Couto going out on loan is a good decision for both the player and also the club. They are going to get some money for him if the club decides to buy him in the end and if they do not he is going to return to Manchester City as a better player.

After Atletico failed to sign Dovbyk, they decided not to wait too long and signed a 4-year contract with Sørloth, who belonged to Villarreal and scored 26 goals in 41 matches last season. The transfer amount is 32 million euros. The choice of Atletico is obvious, since Sørloth was Dovbyk's main competitor for the top scorer in La Liga until the last round, and after Atletico lost this transfer to Roma, they decided not to wait any longer and get Sørloth.


sportarena.com

Not a bad transfer by ATM. Though Dovbyk is a bit better than Sørloth, I see them as equal strikers. The only problem is if Sørloth's price is too high, but it seems ATM doesn't mind it. Dovbyk was a pen merchant, but Sørloth seems more technical than DovByk.

Sørloth is a good striker, but he should cost 22m max. It's a bit surprising to me how ATM bought him at such a high price. I remember Sørloth was Roma's target. Then, they changed their mind and got Dovbyk as a new striker after Lukaku returned to Chelsea. And it forces ATM to change their target too.

Sorloth has more experience in La Liga, and he scored 1/3 of Villarreal's total goals, which is not that bad, though. I hope he does well in ATM.

ATM nabbing Sørloth? Yes, please! This ain't no panic buy. Four goals against Real Madrid? That's not luck; it's skill. €22 million may seem like a lot of money, but for a player who always comes through in crunch time, it's a steal. Villarreal was smart in this case; they got every penny they could out of a player they knew was going to big things

The Atleti team needs this very much. It's not just another striker that Sørloth is, he makes a big difference. When things get tough, he won't choke. He's going to score and show up. That's the kind of attitude they haven't had on the front lines

Atleti learned a lot from last season. They became lazy. They were happy with being average. Those times are over now. This move by Sørloth makes a point. The other teams in La Liga should know that Atleti is back and ready to win the title

I totally agree with Xavi.S decision to be a little patient and try to hold back from tempting offers from top European teams. Although many certainly think that Xavi.S does not dare to challenge himself in a more competitive competition but because he is still young so there is still a lot of time to forge himself to be more mature in the future. There is nothing wrong with playing for Leipzig because the individual quality of the players will always be seen. In my opinion Xavi.S is still not mentally strong if he goes to the EPL, from what he showed with the Dutch National Team during the Euro, it can be said that Xavi.S was the player who was hit the hardest when the Netherlands failed to qualify for the Final.

Most likely he will stay at Bayern Munich for next season, after he said he was ready to extend his contract. You are also right, Bayern Munich will not be possible to let this player leave without any benefits they can get. Kimmich also has a contract until 2025, that means there is still plenty of time for Bayern Munich to convince him with the assumption of Kimmich Tetarik to leave Bayern Munich.

As far as I know, only Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing Joshua Kimmich in this summer's transfer window. PSG reportedly have the Bayern Munich man on their shortlist, but we don't hear how far PSG are going in their pursuit of his services. Based on several newspapers that I have read, it seems that Joshua Kimmich will stay and possibly extend his contract. Interestingly, under Vincent Kompany, Kimmich is back in the mood to stay with Bayern Munich. The reason is, in the match against Spurs, Joshua Kimmich was again trusted to play as a midfielder. Although there were rumors that he wanted to leave the Allians Arena, Bayern are now without Thomas Thucel. Kimmich is reportedly not happy playing as a center-back, and he has regained his position alongside Vincent Kompany. In the same report, as quoted by Goal, Bayern Munich's sporting director, Max Eberl has confirmed that there have been initial discussions and talks about a potential new contract for Kimmich.

[🚨] NEW: A formal offer from Liverpool for Julio Soler is EXPECTED to come.

Don’t know anything about this player.

[Velvet78]

Is PSG out of their mind?? Why would they loan Xavi Simons again?    After all these performances in Germany and Euro 2024 both, PSG must have given him a place even in the starting lineup.

Such a big mistake... Can they just show me who is better than Xavi Simons in the AM position now? I wonder what Luis Enrique said about him. Maybe he wanted him to be kept for the new season but the board didn't listen to him. I don't think a manager like Luis Enrique would like him to leave after seeing this effort. This is the only way for PSG to play bigger, by keeping their most talented players in the team first. Otherwise a CL trophy will be even harder to achieve.

[Lillominato89]

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

A player can improve his quality under a coach who knows enough about him and of course this is about Conte and Lukaku. For this reason, if Conte really wants Lukaku then he already knows the qualities this player has. To make this transfer a success, Napoli must sell Osimhen in this transfer market because this way they can recruit Lukaku.

If Osimhen fails to leave, of course Conte will rely on Osimhen this season and forget about Lukaku. As you said, it is quite true that the transfer time is still quite long and everything can change. To support the team's performance this season, Conte definitely needs additional strength from the new players who will be recruited in this transfer market.

By now it is well known that when Lukaku is coached by Antonio Conte, he is able to be at his best, he even becomes devastating in attack. This was seen at Inter in the two years he was coached by Conte and they even won a Scudetto. Antonio Conte is a coach who squeezes every player he coaches to the last drop. Surely Lukaku will go to Napoli if Osimhen is sold but so far we see no news about his transfer

[CryptoBuds]

What I just see in the whole scenario is that Barcelona is truly in a deep financial mess because for the club to consider re-signing Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo means that they have no plan of paying for the both players since their loan amount can cover up for their whole wages.

Literally, when Barcelona sacked Xavi Hernandez I saw a lot of errors in that decision Barcelona took because initially Xavi wanted to step down as Barcelona manager but after some conviction he made up his mind to continue with the club only to get a shocking betrayal by the club's management about his sack which came as a surprise to many. Xavi did a lot of Job for Barcelona last season which even led to the club finishing in the second position so they should have allowed him to continue his job who knows Barcelona wouldn't have found their self in this difficult situation they are now.

Barca management is nothing more than a joke. They lost a coach mid-season and convinced him to stay just to sack him again. The disrespect was unreal.

Now they have Flick, who is definitely a good coach, but he would need to spend in necessary areas to do good, to win the league, or even try to give a fight to the mighty Real Madrid.

If they kept Xavi, he now could be a much better coach, because this would have been his 3rd season, and he had a good project ongoing. If Barca does not land good players in the end, they will definitely face bigger problems.

Victor dropped so much in both performance and moral ratings last season but clubs are still bidding for him, except that the magnitude and offers have reduced..

If Osimhen needs big clubs to rush him, he needs to be patient with himself and focus on improving his performance next season in Napoli so that he can be in the best performance which will attract clubs to him. If he wants to move by all means now, only few clubs might take the risk of signing him and that is if they are so desperate to try him.

Last season was a bad one for Napoli and Osimhen and that is why most clubs are doubting his performance but if he still shines next season better for him and if his performance did not improve to draw attention, he might remain in Napoli for long since he is their golden boy and they want to use him to make money.

PSG head coach, Luis Enrique wants to explore his decisions and changes will be made. He made his choice and there’s absolutely nothing anyone can do about it, he selects the players that he thinks is best for the team and also for his formation. Xavi Simons portray his magnificent potentials in the Euros with the national side. Netherlands was impressive and outstanding in the Euros, they’ve accomplished the possession of top talents and Xavi Simons is definitely a rare gem for the club and country side.

[coinlocket$]

Atalanta may have a big problem now.
In their friendly game of today their number 9 got a knee injury.

And we all know that if it will be a big one it means 6+ months of stop and they have the final vs Real Madrid in 10 days.

But not only that, if their number 9 will be out for a lot of time they will need to go to the market and find a new one for the next season.

The medical situation has been not release yet but keep and eye on this.
