⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Furious 7]

It seems true that the rumor some time ago that Paulo Dybala would go to Saudi Arabia to join one of the Saudi league clubs is true and it can be seen in this screenshot that he has left Roma's training ground for the last time and said goodbye to his teammates. It feels so fast that Paulo Dybala left Europe and maybe there is no other reason than the offer of a tempting salary as a pension fund in his old age.

Despite a lot of pressure from fans to keep Dybala in Rome until now but it looks like in the remaining time before the closing begins Dybala's decision to go to Al Qadsiyah is increasingly possible to happen.

It is not wrong if the fans expect him to stay in Rome but it is also not wrong if Dybala considers this especially since Roma management also seems to give the green light for him to go to Al Qadsiyah with a proposal that can be fulfilled easily.
It is difficult indeed to withstand the power of money owned by the SPL club for now because after all, by looking at the conditions that occur now the salary that Dybala will get later is clearly many times greater than what he gets in Rome today so indeed we only have to respect the decisions he has made later.

[EL MOHA]

Man United really needs a defensive midfielder who has the quality to stop opponents' attacks and maybe Ugarte is a good option for Man United. Casemiro and Amrabat are having problems with consistency now because maybe they are talking about age as you mentioned and Man United needs an energetic player who has the ability to penetrate in many ways when facing opponents who are much more concentrated on holding the ball.

Apart from several positions that Erik Ten Hak really needs to improve so that Man United can compete with several other teams. Onana is also not consistent because he often makes mistakes and maybe the coach needs to be firm. Like the previous season and Onana was given too much trust by the coach so he didn't learn from the mistakes he had made.

First off Sofyan Amrabat is no longer Manchester United player because they didn’t activate the buy option, Casemiro is there but just as you Said the Brazilian actually did suffer with fitness problems last season and his inconsistency did cost Manchester United a lot, i was part of those who even thought he should have been sold this summer to the Saudi league to help Forster funds for new signings but he wasn’t and with his performance in the community shield and the first league game against Fulham I think he should have this year. Manuel Urgatte is a potential and with proper management could develop into a good defensive midfielder, I got a good look at him at the Copa America with Uruguayan national team and the deal seems ok to me most especially since it is even a loan option first.

Arsenal signing the Real Sociedad and Spanish midfielder will solidify the team considering the tough matches they are faced with in the beginning stages of the season so they really need to build strong defense and midfield hence signing Mikel Merino is a good development. Arsenal have added some very tactical players to the team this season so we look forward to see a positive change in the team. €33.5 million for the Real Sociedad midfielder is a fare amount and I believe Arsenal will not regret signing Mikel Merino because he is also a very notable player Spain and Real Sociedad so he's gonna do better at Arsenal and it wouldn't take him much time to be accustomed to the team.

Finally Arsenal got their man, he was instrumental last season for real Sociedad but caught the eyes at the euros, I have always been asking for a new midfielder at Arsenal due to their over reliance on Declan rice but now a technical gifted central midfielder is a good back up, next up for arsenal should be a center forward before the window closes

The reason for salary is not a reasonable reason everyone knows that Barcelona has had this problem for the past few years and many players have had their salaries cut and they also agree. I think Ilkay Gundogan wants to leave Barcelona because it seems that Hansi Flick did not include him the game plan so that it made Ilkay Gundongan frustrated look at Barca's first match alone Ilkay Gundongan was not included in the main squad.

Even though Ilkay Gundongan is a good player, instead of releasing this player on a free transfer to Man City why don't they just sell him to another club or to a Saudi Arabian club? even though it can increase income and profits for Barcelona  

Salary and Barcelona financial issues become one of the factors. And why don't sell him to Saudi or Qatar?
Gundogan should still have 2 years in Barcelona, ​​and finally, Barcelona let him out to Man City with free transfer and no salary for Gundogan.


Source: Flick hopeful Gündogan stays at Barça after talks

As reported, previously there were indeed some offers and interests from Saudi Arabia and Qatar. However, Gundogan was not interested and ignored them. Because of that, in order to return to Man City with the conditions proposed by Barcelona.

This is what Flick said about Gundoga, he said that he still wants him to stay in Barcelona.

[RaltcoinsB]

Barcelona is facing quite disappointing financial problems and for that reason they let some of their players go to be used as a solution. From a business perspective, Gundogan's departure did not cause Barcelona any loss because they also signed Gundogan as a free transfer player previously, even from mere calculations, this actually allows Barcelona to reduce their expenses, and they now have a way to register Dani Olmo.

Now Gundogan has returned to Man City and maybe he won't be a starter that often, but his presence provides many options in Man City's midfield.

With Gundogan and Vitor Roque leaving it wasn't enough to sign Dani Olmo so how big is Barcelona's current financial crisis that the team can't sign players?
I feel that Barcelona are experiencing financial difficulties but they can't balance the buying of players and the selling of players, here lies the problem of Dani Olmo still not being registered and obviously this is quite annoying for Barcelona.

Maybe Barcelona should release some other players?

If we consider that Gundogan left the team after Roque's loan, we wouldn't be wrong if we say that Barcelona has become weaker. Barcelona must be in a very bad situation. I thought they were in a good financial situation, but 2 transfer news and here are all the facts. The bells continue to ring for Barcelona. Now they need to be careful and think about the team. Yamal is an important star but they may lose him in a year or two.

It seems that Ipswich is still continuing to improve the team. Ipswich does not only look like a team that has survived one season in the EPL. The latest news is that Ipswich have agreed for Jack Clarke. The Sunderland player will move to Ipswich for a fee of £15 million and an additional £5 million. At the age of 23, he made 27 goals in 94 matches.

Ipswich, who are trying to make good transfers in order not to be relegated in the Premier League, want to bring young players who are focused on development to the team. They are right about this because young and quality players adapt better to the Premier League flow. They lost 2-0 in the first match but they do not want to be one of the last teams in the rest of the season. This transfer will strengthen them a little more.

It seems Ipswich is working harder to ensure they won't be relegated back to the Champion ship. They're trying to reassemble Championship dream team to compete in EPL, and buying Jack Clarke has been one of their effort to make it happen. This is a really nice signing, Jack Clarke has been one of potential talent from Championship.

Paying £15 million and an additional £5 million look so bargain for them considering they took Sunderland's potential player. And that price is the price you pay when you piss about buying young unknowns instead of investing in ready-made talent to push you on.

Another great news for the Arsenal fan. They have struck an agreement in principle with Real Sociedad and the deal has been agreed. Mikel Merino will be playing for Arsenal he was signed with 33.5m Euro + 5m Euro add-ons. A 4-year contract since he is 28 years old. Funny enough he has played with Odegard and Isak. And then Arsenal fans are expecting that after the signing of Odegard and Merino now to Arsenal, Mikel Arteta may likely bring Isak to the team.

Napoli's desire to get the services of this Belgian player is very big, they continue to try to complete a very difficult agreement with Napoli. Now they are really rushing to reach an agreement with Napoli as soon as possible.
It seems that Conte also continues to push Napoli to get Lukaku faster. Especially after their defeat in the first week of Serie A a few days ago. Osimhen is still unclear, but they are now pushing even though they have not been able to determine what Osimhen's future with them is like.
Do you think this will end in an agreement or will it fail again?

Napoli going after Lukaku is a power move. But this whole situation is delicate. Conte's got every right to be frustrated after that early loss, and they desperately need a new striker, especially with Osimhen's head seemingly not in the game.

The deal's tricky though. Napoli's playing hardball with Osimhen's price tag, scaring off potential buyers. That means they cant fully commit to Lukaku yet. If they dont get Lukaku and Osimhen's still sulking, their attack could be in serious trouble this season.

Napoli needs to make a decision, and fast. Either sell Osimhen for a reasonable price or get Lukaku signed. Otherwise, they're looking at a real offensive struggle. Its as simple as that.

Breaking news.
When it was basically done between Dybala and the Arabs, the player said no and it will stay in Roma according to the Italian journal "la Gazzetta dello sport".
This is a shocking news, only yesterday he agreed to a deal of 23mil per year and now he will stay in Rome for 5 mil per year.
you can check his Instagram profile for his confirmation.

Rumour about Dybala future has been appears in the last 2 weeks because Dybala probably will not gets the place on Roma starting lineup anymore and some people even believe he will accept the offers from Al Qadsiah because his agent and Al Qadsiah representative has been negotiation for almost two week but the plot twist is Dybala has decided to refuse the offer from Al Qadsiah and will be stayed at Roma at least until his contract ended and regardless the importance of Dybala for Roma i think the effect of this transfer is for Roma theirself because if they decide to sell Dybala Roma will gets fresh money and this is much good rather than let Dybala leave for free because if i am not mistaken Dybala contract will be expired on June 2025

It's quite surprising that Chelsea don't want Osimhen at the fair value and at the same time keeping Lukaku for no reason, this good offer might not happen again in the future, if I were Todd Boehly, I will do this deal ASAP.

But, Napoli can just sign Lukaku from Chelsea, so they will have two good strikers at the same time, this could be a good competition for both of them. If other team wants Osimhen, Napoli has a power to brag more fees.

[Mr.right85]

I don’t still understand why clubs that are targeting prolific strikers are not looking at Sporting Lisbon striker, Viktor Gyokeres. He registered 51 goals in all competitions last season and I thought he was joining a big club this season.

In this summer transfers market where strikers and wingers have moved a lot, Gyokeres didn’t have even one suitor. Nobody held any talks. He kept scoring goals in the pre season games, took the form into the season, no talks.

PSG needed a striker but they didn’t go after Gyokeres. Tottenham paid £65m for Bournemouth Striker Solanke, who didn’t have a better season than Gyokeres.
I have a feeling that he might have an underlying issue that’s making clubs not go for him… but trust me it’s not a question of his ability.

I think Dybala may decide to stay because of how well the fans have expressed their desire for him to stay, he has won the heart of the fans from his performance and dedication to the club since he joined them from Juventus in 2022, Dybala has become a key figure for the team, scoring 34 goals and providing 18 assists across 78 appearances, these stats is enough reasons to be loved by the fans and protesting for him to remain at the club.

if i am not mistaken Dybala contract will be expired on June 2025

This is true but their is a trigger of one year extension if he can play 15 official matches this season then he will be getting an automatic one year extension of his contract.

 I doubt he will be on the sidelines this season since he is well loved by  the fans based on his performance and dedication to the team.

And then Arsenal fans are expecting that after the signing of Odegard and Merino now to Arsenal, Mikel Arteta may likely bring Isak to the team.

Isak is untouchable and it’s been obvious so far as clubs aren’t going for him in this summer transfer window. I know he is the type of striker Arteta would love to bring to Arsenal, as he can play across the frontline.

Merino is going to add more strength and technicality to their midfield. He will give them more than what Granit Xhaka gave them in his final season. He stronger, decisive and more intelligent in the final third.

Arteta wants to deploy more tactics this season and it’s evident in the two players they’ve brought in so far. He’s a great player, good for the dressing room, his style of play will definitely give them stability and also improve the performance of Martinelli and Trossard, same way Xhaka did when playing around them.

Ipswich, who are trying to make good transfers in order not to be relegated in the Premier League, want to bring young players who are focused on development to the team. They are right about this because young and quality players adapt better to the Premier League flow. They lost 2-0 in the first match but they do not want to be one of the last teams in the rest of the season. This transfer will strengthen them a little more.

Ipswich left a good impression after the first half against Liverpool, but something tells me that this was only possible because Liverpool allowed them to do it. Look at how everything changed in the second half, Liverpool became much more active and everything changed, they conceded twice and they almost had no real chances to equalize, so their success will largely depend on the opponents, how much they will allow them to play. Guardiola will most likely draw a conclusion and leave Ipswich no chance from the first half.

Do you think this will end in an agreement or will it fail again?

This rumor is very tough and might even be difficult to realize this season if Napoli do not quickly give what Chelsea want to get because after all for now Chelsea will not budge with the release clause that has been set so if Napoli want to bring Lukaku then inevitably they must be able to prepare around 30 million more to smooth their plans and Napoli are difficult for that.

The situation comes back in the end to the domino effect of Osimhen because if only Napoli make Osimhen's transfer faster then surely they will also get Lukaku quickly too especially since Conte really hopes for a reunion with this player.
There's still a week left in the transfer window before it closes and we'll see what happens when it comes to the future of this player.

Sofyan Amrabat did not play as expected by Man United, either because he did not fit into the English football culture or he could not adapt quickly, that is why Man United was reluctant to sign him permanently. While Casemiro was actually an option when Man United failed to sign De Jong at that time, although in his first season Casemiro played quite well but he could not be consistent in his second season, so I think Man United is hesitant to entrust the midfield to him, and that is why Man United is very insistent on bringing in Ugarte.

That's just it, they really need to act fast, and start being intentional about their transfer dealings, just look at this Napoli team, they are really short upfront and instead of them to still utilize the services of victor osimhen, they are busy taking him out of the team without even considering how the team is really struggling without him.
And as for their interest in Romelu lukaku, they just really needs to act fast, we are going into weeks two now, and this Napoli team is still not ready to compete, in my own perspective, I think that this is a higher level of incompetence from the hierarchy of this Napoli side, and this is actually costing the team dearly, so the earlier all this is being addressed, the better, because they can't afford to let this season to be like the immediate past season.

It feels so fast that Paulo Dybala left Europe and maybe there is no other reason than the offer of a tempting salary as a pension fund in his old age.

On the other hand, Roma must be happy with the deal offered by Al-Qadsiah with a fee of 75m euros and this makes Roma's finances better to recruit other players or first find a replacement for Paulo Dybala before the summer ends. Perfect business and let's see who Roma will bring in later or if not it might happen in the winter.

Full video: https://twitter.com/LAROMA24/status/1826587936252723328

It is quite sad to see a player of his caliber leave Europe so early to join the Saudi team. But it is good to see that Saudi leagues being able to recruit players like Dybala and make their league quality better. The deal is also good for AS Roma as you have mentioned.

But I feel like he could have spent 3-4 more years of his prime in Europe and tried to win big things. He has always been in the shadows of the Argentina National team. He was doing somewhat good as well in Juventus and AS Roma. AS Roma currently has two big vacancies right now in their team, because Lukaku and Paulo Dybala have left. They have already signed a striker to try and fill the vacancy. They have drawn their first game of the new season so things are not looking very promising either. But it is still very early in the season and things might turn around.

EDIT: wait wait wait, when I've written this, ESPN news just caught my eyes
so yah he just rejected the offer for good, and decided to say with Roma, maybe he is confused  . whatever as a Second Striker its really good for Roma cause they really need strength in Striker position.

If we consider that Gundogan left the team after Roque's loan, we wouldn't be wrong if we say that Barcelona has become weaker. Barcelona must be in a very bad situation. I thought they were in a good financial situation, but 2 transfer news and here are all the facts. The bells continue to ring for Barcelona. Now they need to be careful and think about the team. Yamal is an important star but they may lose him in a year or two.

Releasing Gundogan to Manchester City for free is the best decision according to the club management, this big decision must be taken because it concerns the club's financial condition. Barcelona have lost one of their most experienced midfielders, but without offloading him to Manchester City they cannot register Dani Olmo for La Liga due to Fair Play rules. Barcelona are also trying to release Vitor Roque to Real Betis on loan, other players are also close to the exit door such as Clement Lenglet Eric Garcia and Christensen.

Barcelona movement to overhaul its squad since Hansi Flick was appointed as coach indicates that they will soon bring in new players. According to the news I read, Hansi Flick has given the green light to bring in Federico Chiesa.
