⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Sexylizzy2813]

Is it me or is Al-Ahli trying to build an unstoppable force this season? Getting Victor Osimhen who is about to undergo his medical today (if he hasn't) and now Al-Ahli have gone out to splash a £40m for Ivan Toney, medical to be taken in London and where on Earth is Chelsea while all these are happening? Chase two players and losing them both to one club on transfer deadline day.

Sorry, is there an announcement if Osimhen agreed to join al Ahli? AFAIK, he is not accepting al Ahli's offer, though his club has reached an agreement with Ahli to sell him.

Tooney is likely becoming Ahli's second option after their offer fails to attract Osimhen. Also, this transfer is finishing his football career. He's 25, he agreed a wage of 650k a week AFTER taxes. He’s officially just ended his career.

The Osimhen's deal is on the player's hand and things are not even showing any sign of the deal to workout after the news came in that the club can't have two foreigners in the same club like one have to go for the other to stay so the news coming in and out hasn't given us anything positive yet but that's what went down before I dropped the post. I'm even bored talking about Osimhen and his weak decision to find a club, I just wish it was Chelsea who got him let's see the reason for increasing his pay. Money can make some humans take a decision that they'll some day regret.

You're a bit wrong to call Jackson the only option owned by Maresca. There are also Nkuku and Guiu who can also sub Jackson to play as a striker.

I might be wrong on your side but if Enzo sees these guys as second option why has he not yet tried using them to replace Jackson in any game when he knows the Jackson isn't doing well? Let's face the fact here, Chelsea only have Jackson as the number 1 striker and in the game against Wolves Jackson played more than the Nkunku and the other guy you mentioned Guiu is not even suppose to be mentioned in the first place, unless you see Jackson getting an injury which I don't see happening that's when you see the Guiu playing ahead of Jackson and as for Nkunku he can play him any where.

It seems that Chelsea is increasingly enthusiastic about improving the performance of its current club which is currently being criticized by football observers and even bettors are always discussing Chelsea's bad side.
This time Chelsea continues to approach Jadon Sancho, my left player owned by Man Utd and Chelsea may also know that it seems that Sancho is still not enthusiastic when he was with Man Utd.
If Sancho succeeds in joining Chelsea, I think Enzo's club will have a positive improvement.

Jadon Sancho is also reportedly close to Juventus, but until now it seems they have not reached an agreement so that Chelsea can still approach him. Chelsea themselves have now shown quite good improvements, they can play better in the last week of the Premier League. They have also just finished the match in the European Conference League play-off round, even though they lost, it did not matter because they still won the aggregate goal. They do have to be serious about building a team, because if not they will be far behind teams that already have a better foundation than them. While they are still building that foundation and this season they must show positive progress from everything they have done during the break and this transfer market.

I don't see any reason why Chelsea need to go as far as trying to get a player and can't come to a conclusion of getting the player, Enzo Maresca is going to get himself into big trouble if he fails to deliver this season and having Jackson as the only option to play his attack is not going to yield anything productive.

Chelsea already has enough strikers that can be managed until the transfer window opens again. But the problem is that almost all of them are average players. You wouldn't blame Chelsea for their slow approach; they are under the financial fair play rules, which means they need to balance their books. The club wanted to offload some players, and it seems it is not happening as fast as they want.

Meanwhile, the Saudi League is not under any financial control and also has the support of the government. So they can offer players what no European club can give as wages. It is in the news that Chelsea has also offered a deal to Victor. The ball is now in the court of the Nigerian to make decisions on the club he wants to move to. The option is now "Money or Passion".

Those players you think they have is not going to bring anything positive to the table and like you said, they're all average players and is even bad that they (Chelsea) know but it went ahead to get them to join the team. Chelsea and Arsenal are the worse in this transfer window, they know their problem but they haven't done anything to get that problem solved and they are having that hope of managing what they have, it will be a long ride for both clubs.
Osimhen don't even know what he wants and if it happens that non of these clubs that are going for him don't get his signature I think he is in for a career disaster, because I know Napoli won't even give him that attention, he need to act fast to save himself from this unnecessary pressure. And I think going to this Saudi side is for the money not the passion we all know.

[coinlocket$]

With Osimhen probably going In Arabia we have the following scenario.
Sancho will probably ends in Chelsea, since they can't have Osimhen they will have money and space to sign him.

Osimhen  should sign a 4 year deal but he will probably have a release clause after 2 year spent in Saudi Arabia, the amount is rumored to be around 50mil €

News related to the plan to sell Jadon Sancho has been discussed lot since some time ago and Juventus is the team that is most associated with the player because Juventus really seems to want him in this summer transfer.
But I just saw some news that said that Juventus withdrew from interest in getting Jadon Sancho and Chelsea are still trying to get this transfer from Manchester United before the transfer window closes.
Indeed, Jadon Sancho could make Chelsea perform optimally and improve the quality of performance for this season, but if they are unable to take advantage of Jadon Sancho if the transfer is successful then all of this will be in vain.
We will see in few days the transfer window will close soon and each team can focus on competing and fighting for points from each match for each domestic league, this is condition that is quite anticipated considering that each team will appear more impressive.

Saudi sources say that Al-Ahli does not have the money to buy Osimhen and Toney and in addition, according to the regulations Al-Ahli does not have two vacancies for foreign players yet. In general, this is a very strange story and it seems that Chesley really wants to sign Osimhen and is waiting for him to refuse a move to Al-Ahli. We can still believe that Al-Ahli will buy Toney, after all 40 million euros they can probably find, but to buy two such players I think the club will not be able to, because they already have on the balance sheet is Firmino, who almost stopped playing and the club in the championship are not the best, so I expect that Osimhen will still go to Chesley in the end.

LOL then what's the point of buying a lot of players with a bunch of strikers if in the end Enzo Maresca will rotate Jackson with other players. It's still early and Jackson can't rest easy just because Enzo still gives him a place in the main squad. Remember there are many tasks that Enzo has to complete and he is required to continue working to rotate his strikers one by one. Like it or not there will be a lot of rotation in this club. Well for now Jackson is comfortable but without a partner like Cole Palmer there won't be many opportunities that he can take advantage of.

Nicolas Jackson has only collected 1 goal, so what is his advantage at the top of the top scorers?
Where is he?

I want to see Victor Osimhen playing in the premier league. Tbh I even prefer Osimhen at Arsenal than Chelsea FC. Chelsea are not a top tier team in the EPL anymore, they aren’t even in the champions league. So what’s the motivation for joining the club if not for their name and old accomplishments. Oscar left Chelsea to play in China when he was in his prime (at 25 years old which is Osimhen’s current age) so Victor Osimhen will not be the first player to choose money over the club.

Chelsea representatives arrived in Naples to try to compete with Al Ahly for Osimhen, but I think it will not be easy, because almost all the terms of the contract have been agreed with Al Ahly and Osimhen's salary will be €40m per year, and the transfer amount will be €80m + bonuses, this is significantly less than Napoli previously wanted (but we need to find out what size of bonuses is implied). Yes, Osimhen will not be the first player to choose money, there is nothing wrong with that, but he says that he would like to play in Arenal and not in Chelsea, because Chelsea does not play in the Champions League, he has too many demands, maybe he overestimates himself?

If Osimhen had moved to Arabia, I think it would have been strange for his football career. He will indeed be able to earn a large salary there but considering that he is still quite young, wouldn't that be a decision that he would regret later. If he cares more about money, it means he no longer has the ambition to become a big player. However, if he is still concerned about his career, then moving to Chelsea would be a better decision, and it could also be a stepping stone if he still really wants to play with PSG.

The difficult situation for Osimhen is that he is exchanged with Arab and European, but talking about who is possible to penetrate him from Napoli, Arab clubs are more ready because in the Arab financial list they are ready to penetrate Osimhen but European clubs like Chelsea and PSG are still confused by Osimhen's performance which is priced at 100 million by Napoli, this is what makes some interested teams finally not recruit him like Arsenal who were quite serious about recruiting him at the beginning but because of a request from the Napoli club which made them have to withdraw because the price was not adjusted, and now Osimhen has not received an offer or seriousness from Chelsea and also PSG and Arab are getting ahead seeing this situation. Osimhen himself has not been called by Conte in his squad and this is increasingly convincing that he is really not included in Conte's strategy this season and of course with that code Osimhen must leave there, but talking about leaving no one is really serious about recruiting him in Europe and it seems that his career in Europe will end and Osimhen will land in Arabia because there is a club there that is serious about recruiting him.

As an Arsenal fan, I wanted the team to keep Aron Ramsdel because he is good and he is reliable, but I understand that he is also a world-class goalkeeper that cannot stay in the bench for his football carer, so he need playing time which my coach Arteta didn't guarantee him and that is the reason he left the team.

This one too cannot have enough playing time because the Arsenal aim of winning title will never allow the coach to be gven chances for any player he is not sure of, so I will be expecting Arsenal to add some money if what they have already submited is been rejected.

Arsenal have shifted their attention to Bournemouth Goalkeeper, Neto. I think they have agreed a loan deal with him with no obligation to buy.
It is evident that this Arsenal team lack a concrete plan. Now, it seems they are just scrambling and grasping at whatever is available in the market.
I agree.
Now that Ramsdale is gone, I think with a Neto, they will get a figurehead experienced backup. Neto gets a low-pressure job and earns a decent wage.
They keep the money they got from Ramsdale sales. Win win for everybody.

What Ramsdale went through was tough for all of us to see. He is a quality keeper, and it's unfair for a keeper like him to sit on the bench for a whole season. Yes, I know and I credit Raya as the better keeper, but if Arteta knew he would do that, he could have let Ramsdale leave earlier in that season.

But it's good that Ramsdale found his home in another Premier League club, even if it's relegation-fighting Southampton. Now Arsenal needs a no.2, and if they get Garcia from Espanyol, it would be a pretty decent signing for them, and he can play all the FA Cup and Carabao Cup games. He's young, and won a gold with Spain, alongside the Spain starter GK Raya, he can be a very good addition.

Al-Ahli have space to accommodate just one striker so it's either they'd settle for Osimhen or Ivan but from the looks of things, Ivan is more ready to be taken than Osimhen who is still uncertain.
It's Enzo's business if he relies on Jackson and Madueke as his strikers because we all know they can't be fully relied upon to take up the task.
One hat trick this season and Enzo feels Madueke is the man? I just feel if they've got the funds to hijack Osimhen, they had better do it as that will be a worthy signing compared to all the unnecessary ones players they've been buying.

It seems that Manchester United will still be hampered by this one player and it seems that Antony will still entertain us during this season.

He has rejected a loan offer from Real Betis and honestly it was a less than ideal decision. The reason is that he is no longer the mainstay of the Red Devils for the left winger position considering that there are already Garnacho or Rashford who will fill each other. So that the rest he will remain a full reserve and is only needed when the team is in a slump or even makes it worse.

He should have gone to Real Betis because there he could prove his quality and fix what has been missing so far. I think there are times when a player feels like showing something different and not continuing to be a club clown.

Antony hopes for Erik Ten Hag's favor, he used to be at Ajax when Ten Hag was reliable, now he is no longer seen because of poor performance and too much ball carrying.
Maybe he is better off being reserved than moving to Real Betis, it's not a pleasure he seems too comfortable even as a reserve player who is difficult to play again.
I'm sure there's a reason behind that for Antony. So far I don't see him playing well anymore, he's lost his regular place to other players at Manchester United, even though since his move he's always been in the spotlight.

Looking like a fairly quiet deadline day in the Premier League.

No big deals seem to be happening, just loan deals and desperate teams who left it late trying to scramble for unwanted players.

It's also a bit of a pity for Osimhen if he has to end his career in Europe and be in Saudi Arabia to resume his career there. Because the main problem is Napoli who did not lower the price appropriately so that there would be interest from European teams such as Chelsea and PSG to recruit Osimhen. I also have no doubts about the finances and readiness of the Saudi Arabian team to recruit Osimhen because the Saudi Arabian team always has more money to buy the best players in Europe even though not all players want to go there if there is still an opportunity to have a career in Europe.

No big deals seem to be happening, just loan deals and desperate teams who left it late trying to scramble for unwanted players.

Some teams have gotten their current targets and I think while there are teams that are still trying to sign players but they don't seem to be in a hurry to get him at the moment, Liverpool have completed their first and final transfer of the season after successfully bringing Chiesa to Anfield, while Chelsea still seem to be  try get sancho with option loan and trying to get Osimhen before he actually agrees to a move to Arabia.  Arsenal, who last season became a challenger for the Premier League title, have now managed to get a new goalkeeper after Ramsdale departure to Southampton and reportedly they still have a surprising transfer that may happen before the transfer market closes later, while Manchester United currently trying to complete Sancho move to Juventus, Manchester City, who are the defending champions of the English league, have stated that they have closed the opportunity to bring in new players.

Some other clubs such as PSG and also Madrid seem to be no longer trying to strengthen their squads for now because so far they are no longer eyeing new players to get, as well as Barcelona, Milan and also Munich who seem to has found the right composition of players to face the competition this season, although currently the transfer market will be closed but it is likely that we will see some surprises happen later.  

[uchegod-21]

Hey! Tony go for loan. I don't want Manchester United to have a lot of troubles. Why is it that none of these guys want to leave Manchester United even when they are asked to leave. It is not that they have much thing to add to the club, maybe it is because of the huge salary that is given them every week. Last season it was so obvious that Harry Maguire was about to leave Manchester United but he insisted and today he is still in the club. Now it is the time for Anthony to leave Manchester United and he is still in the club. Why do they reject. I know Manchester United is among the biggest club in the world but they are not working so hard to remain in Manchester United.

I don't even understand the management of Manchester United. Do they need permission of a player to allow them go or remain. If the management have decided that Anthony should go to Real betis for a loan, so be it...

Looks like it to me, the hottest news is around  Victor Osimhen, Sancho and Sterling. Al Ahli has agreed a deal with Napoli for Victor Osimhen, and now it is up to the player, Chelsea are also in talks with the player, where do you guys think Osinhen will end up?

Sancho might be heading to Chelsea, though Juventus are also in the race to sign him, Chelsea are ready to sign everybody, lol, do they even have any space in their team for Sancho. Sterling might end up in either Arsenal or United. So we are expecting a little drama today.

I see most of the clubs that are scrambling for players especially top clubs as unserious. Well-organised clubs like Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and others have concluded their transfers because they knew what they wanted and went for it. I know that the Euro Nations Cup and Copa America slowed the market but a club should have a target and available substitute. Chelsea is still struggling to offload unwanted players and also sign some players. Anyway, I don't blame clubs with low budgets for waiting till the closing of the transfer window. They will get cheaper players who are either stranded or unwanted by clubs.      

Al Ahli has agreed a deal with Napoli for Victor Osimhen, and now it is up to the player, Chelsea are also in talks with the player, where do you guys think Osinhen will end up?

I have never followed up on a player's transfer news as I do for Victor Osimhen. The same question is on the lips of millions of Nigerians, Chelsea and SPL fans. He has two choices, go for the money or love, this will be a hard choice for even me.
