⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Litzki1990]

I don't deny the fact that PSG may change dramatically after Mbappe leaves, the only question is in which direction, because it's quite possible that they may not develop adequate tactics for the new season without Mbappe and then their results will be lame at least at the beginning of the season. Although they have no competitors in Ligue 1 you could say

Ligue One becomes an important league when we have the Frenchman in the league, he was popular enough to make it entertaining and competitive, we love watching Kylian Mbappe playing for Paris Saint-Germain, carrying the team's burdens on his shoulders. Kylian Mbappe was the main star in PSG and have dominated everything the club, his prowess and incredible ability made him to be formed. Paris Saint-Germain can survive without the critical aides from Kylian Mbappe who happens to be in Real Madrid jersey. Luis Enrique knows the challenges he faces and working towards resolving them becomes smooth for him.

PSG remain the favorites in Ligue 1 after Mbappe's departure. Luis Enrique will likely have more freedom in managing his team because he won't feel pressured by just one particular player.

An entire team does not depend on one player but when an important player leaves the club his absence in every match makes the club understand very well. Mbappe has been the most reliable star of PSG but he has completed his contract with Real Madrid this season and he has already played his debut match for Real Madrid but PSG has not appointed any other player in this position yet. If they want to manage the team well and if they expect more from the team then they need to change some places and replace Mbappe with a quality player. When Luis Enrique signed with PSG I thought he would be given financial freedom but he probably wasn't. Had he been given financial freedom, he might have signed many players at this time.

I have to say that the club from Saudi Pro League misplaced the offer because Real Madrid is not a team that lacks money, meaning they are not easily tempted even if there is a high offer, Vinicius Junior is still under contract until 2027 so Real Madrid still has control over this player unless his contract has a year left then the Mbappe scenario could happen to Vinicius Junior. I think this is just an attempt by clubs from the Saudi Pro League to attract attention through sports media in the world and they know this effort will be in vain it's just that they get attention from the news.

In the past, Real Madrid was tempted by the offer of a Saudi Arabian club regarding Karim Benzema, but at that time Real Madrid dared to make a decision because Karim Benzema was already 35 years old so there was no reason for Real Madrid to continue to maintain him and Karim Benzema also moved there without coercion while now it is very clear that Vinicius Jr is still very young to go to Saudi Arabia even though he was offered a fantastic salary but it would not be good for his future, money can be found but to find a big name will not come twice, if he has a big name like Messi and Ronaldo even when he is old he will still be valuable and his achievements will be appreciated.

By the way Vinicius Junior market value continues to increase, will he reach 200 million next season?

I think the price of Vinicius Jr will continue to increase if his performance is still the same as the last few seasons, the combination of Mbappe and Vinicius Jr will further sharpen both of them, both players will become the most expensive players owned by Real Madrid.

Yeah we all know how Rumours sometimes translate to been true but you see this particular one it is not materializing to any truth, Vinicius setting his eyes at the Balon D’OR something that he could win this year or maybe next so he wouldn’t want to leave just yet. Aside that Madrid have set a ridiculous amount of $1B as his release clause so that clubs cannot easily match it to take the player away from them.

As long as he is still playing for Real Madrid, his chances of getting the Ballon D'or are very big because he has become an important player for Real Madrid and his contribution to the team is also very big. During his time at Real Madrid he has won everything, only the Ballon D'or is missing. Now he is in the golden age of his career, his age is still young, his future is very bright if he continues to play in high level competitions. The price set by Real Madrid as a way of protecting one of its valuable assets from being taken by other clubs, he has also officially stated that he wants to continue to be at the Santiago Bernabeu. I think this transfer will not happen because Vinicius and Real Madrid still want to continue their cooperation.

It seems Brighton has activated the release clause of Leeds forward Georginio Rutter. It’s a very good signing for the club but i want to know why Brighton is spending much money after they frustrated De Zerbi to leave. De Zerbi would have done a lot more with better support.

This is exactly the same thing West ham did with David Moyes. They were so stingy for him. Signed mid players. Bowen that was blowing was signed from Hull city for peanuts. The most exciting signing of Moyes era was Kudus pretty much. But look at how they’re spending big for the new Manager Lopetegui.

I still don't know why Chelsea boardor the management are not taking some, if not their senior players too serious, few weeks back they ejected Trevoh Tom Chalobah out from everything that has to do with the senior team and he has been training with the junior team including Lukaku and this is not good for business.
Now they make it look like Gallagher has a hand in the collapse of the deal to Atletico Madrid, things didn't work out well and the player played his part to make the move go through and now returning to Stanford Bridge has a punishment for him, he had to join the others to play and train with the junior team and anything concerning the big boy they cut them off which to me is too harsh on the players.
Players who are suppose to be used by the manager to build a better and much stronger team has been discarded because the owners are trying to do what exactly? Improve the team? No way, Chelsea still has a long way and they have not yet figured out their problem rather they are making things worse for the team, that's their main target, make it unhealthy for the players, too bad for the Blues.

[Unknown01]

Although I don't know much about  Noussair Mazraoui since he is not a first-team player in Bayern Munich I will assume that he is a good defender for him to be identified by Manchester United scouts. Getting the Moroccan and Matthijs de Ligt at such a price is very cheap. And both of them signed a long-term deal (four and five years). The ages of both players (Noussair Mazraoui, twenty-six, and Matthijs de Ligt, twenty-five) also depict that both players are at the peak of their football careers. I watched the community shield game between United and Manchester City and the former's defense was not that bad, but the introduction of these two players will make it more solid. The days when the Red Devils will depend on average defenders like Harry Maguire is finally over.

I saw him play a few times and he was alright. At Bayern Munich he just didn't get as much playing time as he would have liked and Manchester United will certainly be able to give him more playing time. Now it's up to Mazraoui whether he gets a starting eleven spot or not. De ligt is a well-known defender anyway and will certainly have a positive effect at ManU.

It's official now; Juventus has terminated Wojciech Szczęsny's contract. He has one year left on his contract. But Juventus has decided not to keep him due to his name being excluded from Motta's list. It really saddens me to see that Wojciech Szczęsny is leaving Juventus, and it feels like we did him dirty.

Wojciech Szczęsny is such a gentleman. He agreed to end the contract for the club's good. It was his right to stay and earn a salary like others. Thank you for everything Tek!.

I also read this news with emotion, how Juventus ended all this with Szczesny after seven years together it was a shame how he worked hard and kept clean sheets for Juventus almost every game it seemed like the Old Lady of Turin didn't appreciate him at all, and my thoughts about him were wrong that he would retire there and in fact he was like thrown out of there with one season left and they ended it and Szczesny could leave on a free transfer, and hopefully he finds a club that appreciates him more and I also read news about him that there are still many clubs that want his services and the possibility of him being in Serie A next season is still there, hopefully Szczesny can play in Serie A again to face his old club and do everything for the club he will defend. Losing Szczesny I think will affect Juventus' goalkeepers next season because he is a solid player there and Motta wants a new goalkeeper who has conceded seven goals in pre-season so it seems like something bad or karma will judge Juventus soon and I think Szczesny will find a new club that will treat him well.

We are all saying the same thing bro, the news owners of Chelsea Todd boehly is just busy ruining the club that it took roman abrahimovic years to build, ok let's look at these particular players in question, apart from Romelu lukaku that I think isn't good enough to stay in the team, the rest of the guy are still very good and active, what annoys me the most about all they have done this summer is dropping Trevor cholaba without giving him a fair chance as others, and taking someone as clueless as badachile to their preseason, someone that can't even put his body on the line as a defender to save a ball that was a goal bound, couple with the fact that he is an error prone defender, honestly I don't see what the manager and Todd boehly sees in badiashile that he is still at the club up till now.

And as for the case of Conor Gallagher, it actually saddens me that someone as him that loves the club so much is being forced out, and made to train with the reserve team as if he is the cause of the collapse of the atletico madrid deal, though this particular deal can still go through, but anything can still happen.

He achieved great success during his seven-year Juventus career. Szczensy could have played more in Juventus, but when Motta didn't want him in the team, all plans changed. Also, he is only 34 years old and for a goalkeeper, he can play football for another 3-4 years. I think he can now try his luck in the Saudi Arabian league where he can earn money.

Napoli hatch Victor Osimhen Chelsea transfer plan amid £115m Romelu Lukaku offer



It seems that Napoli and Chelsea could possibly come to an agreement. We will probably see Osimhen in a Chelsea jersey next season. Arsenal and PSG are no longer interested in Osimhen, possibly at a cost of €150 million.

Chelsea's performances have been poor and erratic over the last few seasons. So this season Chelsea are trying to strengthen their squad. They bought Pedro Neto for 60 million. Chelsea spent 35.4 million for midfielder Dewsberry-Hall. And now Chelsea are going to spend big on Osimhen too.

If the deal goes through, both Napoli and Chelsea clubs will benefit. Conte will get his favorite player Lukaku in the squad, as well as a high price for Osimhen. On the other hand Chelsea club will get a talented player like Osimhen.

After the back line is now resolved because the purchase of a defender has been completed, now Man United is eyeing Ivan Toney along with Chelsea because this team also wants him.

Hojlund is injured for a few weeks.
Rashford is linked with Arab Club, this is not certain.
So anticipate when there is a Rashford agreement with another team then Ivan Toney will be the next target, so far they have not dared to pay 60M for Ivan Toney.

Toney is good enough for the attack and I think his performance was noticeable enough at Brentford to make it a possible purchase that could still be done.
But there are some issues that need to be considered in this case such as in financial issues that must be disturbed after Manchester United brought in several players where the expenditure they have made in this transfer is already more than 150 million.

If you add Ivan Toney, who is priced at more than 50 million, it will be difficult for Manchester United. But on the other hand according to Local Media that I read Manchester United tried to anticipate this by trying to borrow Ivan Toney with a permanent option at the end of the season.

It seems like the spending limit has been exceeded for Manchester United. It has become annoying. Success is still not coming and Manchester United are trying to win the title but they are not doing it. They have spent a lot of money this year and I hope they win the Premier League this time. However, I think their chances of competing with Manchester City and Arsenal are very low.

Brighton sign a new superstar from Mainz 05 which is Brajan Gruda, Brighton is a known team that can develop an underrated potential player become great player. His statistic when he play for Mainz 05 wasn't the best, but he's still 20 years old, he can improve.

He achieved great success during his seven-year Juventus career. Szczensy could have played more in Juventus, but when Motta didn't want him in the team, all plans changed. Also, he is only 34 years old and for a goalkeeper, he can play football for another 3-4 years. I think he can now try his luck in the Saudi Arabian league where he can earn money.

I believe he will move to other Italian's teams, probably Genoa, Como etc.

[Mr.right85]

Why did Nketiah’s move to Marseille collapsed? What is the reason why Marseille didn’t pay that money for Nketiah ?
However, we won't know why Marseille made that  decision. Could be economic or football reasons. Either way, I can't even blame Nketiah.

Some articles that I've read (most of them pointed to the same source) basically claims that Marseille feels that 30 million euro is just too much for him, which is why they will sign another player roughly at the same price. I guess their budget is just limited since they move quickly to find another target. I don't think we'll know much further than this. I wonder if other clubs will try to sign him on the next transfer windows, probably hoping for a cheaper transfer fee or even free transfer deal.

An agreement between the clubs was not reached. And yes, it seems like this is indeed a matter of costs that are too expensive. And Marseille have found the player they are targeting. And with this, the transfer was agreed to be canceled and Marseille have found a player they can reach more for, for example Elye Wahi from Lens.  And it seems that Nketiah is really disappointed with Marseille's failure to redeem him from Arsenal. But he still has the opportunity to leave Arsenal because it looks like there are other Premier League clubs that will be targeting him in the transfer market, for example Bournemouth, which currently needs a striker.

I think personal terms between the player and the club were duly agreed. Negotiations collapsed between the two clubs & it's ultimately about who represents the better value as Wahi is also younger & could probably offer them more value in terms of future sale.
I read Wahi is on 46k p/w, while Nketiah is on 100k p/w. So since they accepted personal terms with Nketiah they didn't want to pay more with Arsenal considering they have other options.
If Arsenal doesn’t get a club for Nketiah this summer, it’ll hinder them from signing a forward.

Juventus letting Szczesny go is a bad move. The guy's a top-tier keeper, even at 34. Goalkeepers age like fine wine, and he's got plenty left in the tank. Butthat's football today. Loyalty? Its out the window. Its all about the manager's vision, even if it means throwing out proven talent.

Szczesny gave his all to Juventus, won them titles. And how do they repay him? By showing him the door. It disrespectful. And with the new keepers looking shaky in pre-season, Juventus might regret this decision sooner than they think.

But you know what? This could be the best thing that ever happened to Szczesny. He's a free agent now. The Saudi league's throwing money around like its confetti. He could go there, make a fortune, and still play at a high level.

Sometimes, getting pushed out forces you to find even better opportunities. And thats what I think is gonna happen here. Szczesny's gonna land on his feet, and Juventus? They might just end up missing him more than they realize.

Giovanni Manna, the sporting director of Napoli, is currently in London trying to negotiate a possible swap of Osimhen for Lukaku. They are discussing a swap on the condition that Napoli will get Lukaku and 45m, and Chelsea will get Osimhen. But it seems that Osimhen is not very keen on becoming a Chelsea player, because the team is not playing in the Champions League. Sometimes it is difficult to understand what Osimhen wants, given his conflicts in the team, it seems that he is a bit of a problem player.

Kalvin Phillips finally got new club because it says Ipswich Town and Manchester City has been reach an agreement for loan option but there was no buy clause which mean this is only one season loaned

Source https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1824017711497675056

Last season he was loaned to West Ham but because Kalvin Phillips got the injured which makes he only played 8 times in Premier league and during joining Manchester City Kalvin Phillips was loaned to other clubs several times and his performance was never makes Guardiola impress so probably loaned again to other clubs could be good option for him and just like we know Ipswich Town is promotion team and maybe with this team Kalvin Phillips can able to find his shape again

Napoli is interested in McTominay seriously. Great news for the Red Devils!    He is also listed to be sold you know. They want to sell him for around 25-30 million pounds instead of a loan. I wonder what Napoli's intention is here exactly. I hope they are looking for buying him. I really want to see Manchester United getting rid of the players they are targeting to sell.

I wonder why there is no team interested in Eriksen by the way. He has got old but still has lots of experience. I thought there would be an average team to be interested at least. He makes 7.8 million pounds a year but I think he can be convinced for much less.

Looks like some sources suggest he wants to move to PSG instead of Chelsea[1]. Does this mean both parties are discussing with both clubs at the same time, or is this just another way for Nappoli to get a better deal from Chelsea? I can see why he wants to move to PSG if what he wanted is guaranteed Champions League match though. Especially if he get paid a lot more.

If Napoli manages to get McTominay then that will actually be good for the player. Because I'm sure that when he plays at an Italian club he will become an important player who can be a mainstay in his position as a midfielder. And I hope Napoli get this player. Because Conte will definitely be able to make the best use of this player at Napoli. It's just that talking about Napoli, I'm still curious whether they are still serious about bringing in Lukaku from Chelsea. Because I haven't heard any further developments regarding the Lukaku news. Currently the season is about to start but there has been no news or progress regarding Lukaku. Apart from the news about Napoli wanting to exchange Osimhen for Lukaku. Which Chelsea will definitely reject. Because from the start Chelsea didn't want any exchange and wanted to let Lukaku go without any exchange.
