⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[BitcoinHunt3r]

Osimhen is not going to Chelsea because Chelsea has cut his wages down below what Napoli is paying him and for that reason I don't think that the deal will be possible. Osimhen will be going to Al Ahli  soonest which was the lasted news that I heard

It will be better if Osimhen finally settle down with SPL even if we know that he will not be able to win European trophies anymore but the pay is fat and if he plays there for long, he can retire as a billionaire without any further European trophy so nce football is now business.

So salary is the constraint, it makes sense that Osimhen is more realistic why pursue a career if it is not worth the salary even though he could have both. Previously I also heard that Osimhen was linked with Al-Ahli but Al-Ahli are one step closer to getting Ivan Toney so it doesn't make sense if they bring in 2 players at once in the same position it means exactly as i said before Al-Ahli must choose one of them and Ivan Toney is undergoing a medical test + Ivan Toney's price is lower, of course Al-Ahli will consider this fee.

Imagine with 100 Million Al-Ahli can bring 2-3 European players in different positions, that would make more sense, right? I think right now it's Chelsea who have to make the decision, whether they agree to Osimhen salary or cancel the offer. When everything is at a standstill then Osimhen must prepare himself to compete in Serie A and get back the golden boot, only in that way he can have many options next season.

Attempt for Milan to sign Rabiot.
Keep in mind that he is a free agent so he can sign whenever he wants, his deadline it will be not today like other players under contract.

Al Ahli deal with Napoli for Victor Osimhen is deleted according to latests news.

Osimhen is going to Chelsea for a €350k weekly pay according to the news I saw today in one of our local newspapers Daily Trust. I also learnt that former Chelsea stars Drogba and Mikel Obi were instrumental to this deal as they actively participated in the negotiations to turned things around for Osimhen.

I'm confident that this is a great deal for Chelsea because they desperately needed a striker with the experience and physical strength of Osimhen.

[Marvelockg]

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.
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.

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.

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.

this transfer has been one of the most talk about transfer news that have taken so many turns and yet we haven't known the final stand of other osimehn with regards going to Chelsea or soudi Arabia. I know what's still keeping the transfer pending is the amount he's requesting but one thing is that it's good he keep it straight this way so when he eventually comes if that's going to be possible they wouldn't take him for granted.  At the last game between Chelsea and Servette, no one can deny that a lot of things is missing with Chelsea attack. They do everything too well but when it comes to the finishing it becomes a problem. The team need a clinical striker like osimehn who will work with Jackson to help solidify the attack.

If he comes to Chelsea and performs we'll, the chances of going to the soudi pro league on a better clause will be opened to him but such can't be the case if he goes to the soudi league on a four year contract.  Maybe before tomorrow morning we will get the final verdict on where he stands between joining the soudi league or playing at the EPL.

I agree with you, because now that clubs are just pricing him and not sealing up the deal, it shows that they are doubtful of his performance if not many clubs will be after him no matter how much the amount is.

If Osimhen does not want to move down to Chelsea based on the cut down of his wages, he should remain in Seria A and put in his best performance so that when other clubs sees his outstanding performance this season, they can bring him over to their club by next season because every club wants to play that will improve their team performance so that there will be hope of them winning their domestic leagues.

I think Ferdi Kadıoğlu leaving the team was as important as Amrabat transfer. Mourinho should have kept Ferdi in the team this year. They will probably have problems at left back because they couldn't keep him in the team. Amrabat is a name that can do a lot in the midfield without Fred. I think of him as a starting 11 player, not a substitute anyway. He knows him well from the Italian league, if he wants him, I believe he will be really useful.

Of course. Ferdi Kadıoğlu's departure was even more important. I bet Mourinho tried his best to keep him at the team but it must be hard to convince the board for the same. Because the offer was really a solid one (30 million euros fixed fee plus 5 million bonuses). Could they have sold him for more? Actually yeah but they didn't want to push for more.  

Now I'm curious who they will sign for the LB position. Sofyan Amrabat might also be used sometimes but I would rather seeing a real LB there. Or maybe they will just continue with Oosterwolde.

[Franctoshi]

The way people talk down on Jackson is just out of this world, the season is just getting started, I just believe he should be given more time, I hear Chelsea are vigorously looking for other frontliners before the end of the transfer window to help improve on what they have on ground, I believe with the combination of the new players that might come in things will certainly change. However I am hearing the likes of Jadon Sancho, victor osimhen and the rest of them might likely be joining The blues, because its obvious Raheem Sterling is off the hook with Enzo for now, so if those deals come out successful, there certainly will be enough players to rotate, but before then let's cut Nicolas Jackson so slack.

Why would people not talk down on Jackson when he isn't even very close to meeting up the performance we all expected of him, what has Jackson contributed to Chelsea as a striker. No, much aggressiveness when in the front of the goal and much spirited effort as a striker should be, if I'm to be Chelsea's head coach I see reason why I should keep Jackson in the club.

Well, For Victor Osimhen's deal, this night will determine what would be about this deal and the faith of the Napoli's striker to whether remain at Napoli or will be leaving, Osimhen is a striker that Chelsea shouldn't be missing out on at the end of today's transfer window closure.

It is still unclear how Chelsea took this deal is it over and confirmed? As far as I know it will be tough even though they are now negotiating, what makes it difficult is that Napoli don't want a low price, and I wonder what happens to this deal? Before the transfer window closes.

Yes obviously if Osimhen anchors to Chelsea it will be a new striker force for the front line, even for me Jackson is not good, better Osimhen who has a lot of experience, who knows he shines again at Chelsea if indeed this will happen tonight the deal.

Sofyan Amrabat signs for Fenerbahçe. 2 million euros loan fee, obligation to buy for 13 million and bonuses worth 3 million.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1829276538916708430

Mourinho has been waiting for a midfielder signing by the team for many weeks. Finally he has got what he wanted.    Amrabat is 28 years old which is good for Fenerbahçe. He can be useful for many years if he adapts well. The fans have been complaining about Krunic's horrible performance for a while. From now on, they would be satisfied. Amrabat is mainly a DM who can play as CM too (and even as LB).

Mourinho's team is making decent signings recently so I wonder how big impact it will make on especially the Europa League...

Amrabat to Fenerbahçe is not just a transfer, that's Mourinho flipping the chessboard. The guy can play DM, CM, even LB in a pinch. That's versatility, that's options. Krunic and the midfield have been shaky, Amrabat's the fix

He wanted Manchester United, ended up in Istanbul. But look, the guy's a pro. He adapted quick at Fiorentina, he'll do the same here

Fenerbahçe fans, get ready. Your midfield's about to get a serious upgrade. Europa League? They just got a whole lot more dangerous. Depth wins tournaments, and Amrabat's got the skills to make the difference

If Amrabat performed well on Fiorentina, and he would not always be loaned. Also, we paid 15 millions for him, and it's a hefty price to get a player like him. Though his quality is above us, but it doesn't mean he can click with our squad in a short time.

The only good thing is we fixed our loopholes by getting a quality midfielder. And we can sell him to the Saudis if he struggles to click with our squad and coach. Since we have sealed the deal with Fiorentina (Loan + Obligation to buy him), and it's worth to try.

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.

I am not sure if Osimhen will join one of the clubs in the Saudi League, especially the team that wants to recruit Osimhen has almost agreed with Ivan Toney. Well, who knows what Osimhen's future is, but Romano still links that Chelsea is still working behind the scenes to bring Osimen before the transfer window closes. It is likely that the Saudi club will agree with Ivan Toney and not Osimhen, unless there are still other clubs interested in bringing him from Napoli. But still I am not sure if Osimhen will leave the Europa League, while Lukaku is rumored to have been compromised by Fabrizio Romano by signing a contract as a new Napoli player with permanent status from Chelsea. There is only one day left if I'm not mistaken the transfer window closes, if Chelsea is serious about Osimhen, it seems that before the close they will complete the deal with Osimhen and Napoli. So, let's wait.

[Mr.right85]

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.

Disaster. Thats the word. How can you spend close to £500m over 3 seasons but just £25m on a wide forward. How can you let Vieira, ESR and Eddie go without bringing in a replacement, let alone a level raiser. All this when fixtures are only going to mount. Not good enough.
I’m hearing that Arsenal are done with transfers this window. Arteta better not give excuse. I am disappointed but my disappointment means nothing to anyone.
I will take any forward at this point. Gabriel Jesus is always injured. Martinelli is the shadow of his former self. Bukayo Saka needs some rest.
The Club is very unserious, they literally spent nothing this summer, Arteta’s head will definitely be on the chopping board if the fail to win the league.

[CryptoBuds]

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.

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 hope that they do not suffer from a problem of having too many strikers in the team. Nicolas Jackson is an interesting case. I think those people who are saying that he is going to be the next best thing or going to outscore everyone, are just overhyping the player. And those who are saying that he has only scored one goal and that’s why he is probably not going to score enough goals, I think they are just overthinking and not giving him enough time. Only two matches have been played so I think he won’t be good enough. Last season he has scored 14 goals in 35 matches. So I am pretty doubtful about him also, to be honest. But let’s just give him enough time.

Haven't Napoli softened at this point? Initially, they gave an asking price in the range of 120 million Euros but reportedly there has been an agreement between Napoli and Al Ahli regarding the transfer of Osimhen with a value of only 80 million euros. If that is what really happens, then it is certain that Chelsea will immediately look for other targets, and it is actually quite strange to see Osimhen having to flee to Saudi Arabia.

Noting is certain mate. There are different news all around the world about the transfer move of the Nigerian. From the news I got now, the deal with Chelsea might hit the rock due to the reduced wage offer (£130,000, per week) the Chelsea delegating is tabling. If this news is true, Victor Osimhen might likely move to Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli because this proposal is far below the player's expectation. The influence of former Chelsea players are limited because money is also important in football. However, if the Osimhen's deal finals to go through Ivan Toney will be the next Chelsea target.

Napoli will prefer to sell Osimhen to Al Ahli since they have offered a higher bid than Chelsea. But the player would have to accept the deal before the contract will signed. But from the information I have gathered Osimhen have not acceptable the Saudi deal. It seems he prefers Chelsea, but the English side has not offered enough money.

although currently, the popularity of SPL has increased quite a bit since Ronaldo played there and several top European players also play in SPL clubs. but with Osimhen who is still 25 years old, I don't think he will accept the offer. the competition in Europe is better, we know that. Napoli gets the advantage but I think Osimhen still has a chance to return to the European Club in the future.

after this Chelsea and Arsenal who were previously interested in Osimhen must be looking for alternatives quickly. or maybe they will skip everything and play with their current squad without any new players until the next transfer window opens.

I think it is likely that Chelsea will sign Victor Osimhen because considering the fact that Napoli has finally signed Romelu Lukaku means that they may be planning on Victor Osimhen moving out without seeking for huge price as they did initially and since his contract at Napoli is nearing end means that Napoli wouldn't allow him to go as a free agent so if they want to make some cash from his sale will be to sell him out before the transfer window closes.

Victor Osimhen is a better player than Jackson so if Chelsea finally signs him there is gonna be a turn around in the attacking force of Chelsea because Osimhen is a forceful player full of life and energy so there's no doubt about his ability to make a change as a forward. Even though Chelsea is not a better club for Osimhen but I believe things will turn around for Chelsea if he joins the club.

[Asiska02]

Osimhen is not going to Chelsea because Chelsea has cut his wages down below what Napoli is paying him and for that reason I don't think that the deal will be possible. Osimhen will be going to Al Ahli  soonest which was the lasted news that I heard

It will be better if Osimhen finally settle down with SPL even if we know that he will not be able to win European trophies anymore but the pay is fat and if he plays there for long, he can retire as a billionaire without any further European trophy so nce football is now business.

Same reason I heard his move to Chelsea was not possible. Chelsea was going to lower his wage and he was not ready to take that and so declined the offer of Chelsea. In the agreement, it was also said that they’ll increase his wage after three seasons if he’s able to perform consistently well for that three seasons. Money is now the top notch priority of everyone. I wanted to say why not lower his wage, in order to get to play in a top club like Chelsea, but looking into that aspect again, this types of opportunity may not present itself again and he may have to join Al-Ahli this season. The money they’re offering is huge and tempting, not all players will want to turn this offer down. Football is now for the money because in the end, your trophy is just an achievement and the money you’ve earned is what will push you through your remaining phase in life.

Osimhen is a very good striker and Chelsea are interested in him, but this is not yet done because they are still negotiating with Napoli because al hali are interested in Osimhen and they will pay him a high salary, but he doesn't want to move to Saudi league because he wants to make history in Europe, and if Chelsea get the opportunity and get Osimhen to the there team, I don't think Chelsea will be losing like before because they need a striker like Osimhen that is flexible Since Manchester City gets Haaland, you will notice that no one can stop him since he is very strong and it is easy for him to score goals for the team. If they had Osimhen now, you will see different and Chelsea will really perform great. If Osimhen come to Chelsea Jackson won't be get the opportunity of playing like before because Osimhen is better then him and they can't be compared to each other. Jackson lose many chances of scoring goals for Chelsea last season but he fail if they get replacement for him now, Chelsea will get more improvement in the league.

As far as I have heard the news today, they are about to sign but it is not fixed yet. If he were to get an annual salary of > €15m that would be pretty crazy but Chelsea need a strong striker to be able to fight in the PL again because they've been out of the picture for years and for a club like Chelsea that's too much! It's time for them to play for the title again and they need a strong striker like Oshimen who might even become a legend like Drogba.

From latest bbcsport news Ivan Toney is going to Brentford that means his purported going to Chelsea is ruled out completely, I think Chelsea should be the next destination for Osimen instead of Al Ahli, though the Saudi based club offered him a mouth watering contract, however I don't expect a player of such quality, calibre and status (Africa best player) to play in a less fancy league at this stage of his career Chelsea would be the best club to flourish his career now that Sterling is in the verge of moving to Arsenal definitely Chelsea would have options in their with Jackson playing at the flank while Osimen would be their main striker.

But they have also tried out a lot of players and it wasn't so much about the quality of the players, but about how Chelsea used them and formed the whole team.

I often think that there can't be better times for professional players in almost all sports to be alive these days. I once read what players like Madonna were earning or even earlier than that, it was close to nothing compared to what they earn today. They play a good season, then sign a long term contract and are financially sorted for the rest of their lives. And these clubs are so rich that the players know they will pay whatever is asked for. Osimhen is going to wait until the very last moment of this transfer window and then say that they either pay or he won't be coming.

But this is not all, Chelsea has made a loan offer for Sancho! Who would have thought that?

Chelsea are understood to have made an offer for Manchester United forward Jadon Sancho.

Sancho is like Mario Gotze. Everyone thought he will be amazing and then it was one good game and five bad games cycles.
