⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Nheer]

What? Sancho is in fifth place? then who is above him?

Then if Sancho is in fifth place then how does he see Rashford or Antony, haven't both players played very badly since last season? I still don't believe this reason and the rest is indeed a matter of Manchester United's dislike of Sancho.

Of all United wingers I don’t think Sancho should be ranked fifth because performance wise he is way ahead of Rashford and Antony. Maybe to them it’s not about how the player performs but the relationship between the player and the management and with what happened with Sancho i think it’s obvious why the management will pick Rashford and Antony over Sancho despite struggling with their performances.

Leaving was the best thing for the player and the club because it will be difficult to rebuild a solid relationship and it will only bring back Sancho’s career, sitting on the bench will make things worse for him and will start to fall off even before he knows it.

[Fiatless]

The problem is that Galatasaray cannot afford to bring him in because his price and salary are too expensive, we know Osimhen wants the same salary as Napoli offers so every club will consider the request. In this case, Napoli are also to blame for disrupting the transfer plans to the Saudi Pro League even though initially both clubs had agreed but Napoli asked for additional fees so that in the end the transfer was cancelled and if I was on the side of the Saudi club then I would do the same thing, especially when find other offers at a lower fee.

I am also surprised that the Turkish side was willing to cover the high salary of Victor Osimhen. I just hope he proves that he is worth the amount. He should reward them with hard work, discipline, dedication and trophies. Napoli will have themselves to blame if they finally fail to make any money from his transfer in the future. The club would have gotten a big deal from the Saudi side but they lost it because of greed.

Now Victor Osimhen officially plays for Galatasaray with loan option, meanwhile for the salary we don't know whether Galatasaray pays the full amount or 50% from Napoli. This is the perfect time for Osimhen to prove Napoli made a mistake when they let him go and Osimhen has another chance to catch the eye of elite clubs when he plays in the Europa League. If Osimhen can play consistently in the Turkish League then Osimhen will regain his market value of 120 million which means his potential move to the elite league is getting closer.

Osimhen earns about €10m per season in Napoli and the agreement is that Galastataray will cover his present salary in full for the one year he plays there. There are reports that Napoli will want to still cash out from the striker's transfer. He might be persuaded to extend his contract by one year, if they don't he might leave the club freely since his current contract ends next year.

[KTChampions]

At a time, as a Nigerian, I no longer understand the issue with Victor Osimhen. I don't know if it's about
1. Passion
2. Career
3. Or money.
He made a great mistake by signing for Napoli again last season. But I became more confused when;
1. Saudi club was rejected
2. Chelsea deal failed
3. PSG didn't work
Why Galatasary and how manage?

Osimhen extended his contract with a big salary increase, at that moment it was not a mistake, he could not see the future.
1. He did not move to the Saudi club because of Napoli's position.
2. He did not move to Chelsea because of his refusal to reduce his salary.
3. PSG was not interested.

Galatasaray is a normal option - at least he will have game practice.

I guessed with this no one will have any right to critise Sancho from leaving Manchester United while it was stated that he already apologised to the coach and he was accepted into the team, it is now obvious that Ten Hag didn't had plans on using him this season if he was actually his fifth option and this was the main reason he had issues with Ten Hag earlier before his loan to Dortmund.

Though the sad thing is that coaches sometimes have priority that will cost them something good which I don't really know why, this is from the fact that Enzo Maresca decided to loan Chalobah rather than Badiashile who we is a better player even when it was obvious Badiashile won't offer anything much this season during the pre season matches, see all the costly mistakes leading to goals he has caused already

[Antotena]

It preferably that Victor Osimhen moved to Galatasaray than he remained in Napoli where he's presence is no longer valued, that would even be a bad case for the young star because, I doubt how he will get fit to play if he's being left on the bench until next summer transfer. Galatasaray is a better option club to join in my opinion right now than moving to the Saudi professional league that has less attention and doesn't play in the European league competition, here the likelihood of other European clubs coming for him is higher if he continues his scoring of goals.

Either with Lukaku or not Napoli will flop this season and season after next and they will never make anything meaningful in that club until they pay for their sins. I'm very sure Osimhen wouldn't make the same mistake he made by continue a sign up additional contract and stay with Napoli till 2027. That club suck and I unfollw them, many Nigerians were so piss with their treatment towards Osimhen, they are just waiting for them to make a mistake before the next banter will start, it's now  personal for everyone.

I see a lot of people are complaining about his move from Napoli to settled with Galatasaray instead of going to Saudi but many people are not aware that it was the same Napoli that void Osimhen move to Al Ahli and Chelsea weren't helping, the offer was too small when he is still on his peak time of 25 years, I'm very sure new offers will come by January window and I hope he leaves when opportunity comes again. Napoli will sure regret what the did.

Was Osimhen playing for passion he had for football or he's simply playing for money? Playing for Napoli brought limelight to his football career, he bagged huge amounts of goals and it was clearly noticeable that he was the main striker in the club. I would rather blame Napoli board especially the media sector for jeopardizing and toiling with Victor Osimhen image on the media which is always finding fun in deriving mistakes and errors from the player in question, they've continue to bashed their player with Napoli official account and this have been a big slap on Victor Osimhen reputation as a player. So it's clearly not his fault if he's no longer showing greenlight to stay and trying his best to leave up to the fullest expectations.

Consequently, Saudi clubs did push to grab his signature but it was mission impossible. He tried so hard to fit in but he guessed he was wrong and had to make appropriate decisions for himself. Galatasaray signed Victor on a one year loan deal. This is jjdt a deal that will keep the Nigerian busy for a year because staying at Napoli will definitely mean waste of time. Victor Osimhen made the right choice from the view of most audience, we should watch how everything will play out for the player.

[len01]

talking about Lukaku, honestly I don't have high expectations whether he will be able to show his performance with good performance. but considering he has a close relationship with Conte, he should be able to be Napoli's need for a center forward. after all, Serie A is no longer a foreign league for him.

Lukaku should be able to give the best contribution. It's not about Lukaku having a closeness with Conte but he has been playing in seria A for a long time. So he has a better grasp of the style of play in seria A compared to Chelsea in the EPL.

By the way, I'm not sure if next season Osimhen's price will remain high. although in Romano's report Napoli's option to extend until 2027, but still the drama that occurred has the potential to lower the value of his transfer price. unless, if Osimhen is able to improve his performance with Galatasaray.

This is like a 2-way mistake between Osimhen and Napoli. Osimhen mistake should be that if he wanted to leave Napoli immediately, the extension offer should have been rejected. But he accepted the offer because Osimhen could not refuse a big offer from Napoli. Furthermore, Napoli was too selfish who only thought about keeping Osimhen for the big profit from the sale of the player. Finally there was no other choice but to loan the player to Galatasaray. And I'm not sure if he can perform well in the Turkish league.

A move to Saudi Pro League means money without chance to return back to major European teams except weak ones with low budget maybe. Staying in a team playing in UEFA competitions even if it was Turkiye could guarantee a return to a good European team or at least a second chance for him in Napoli under another management. Galatasaray lost its chance in Champions League and they passed to Europa League right now. It is easier to play there than in Champions League anyway.

If he is unable to show his best quality with Galatasaray in the first half of this season I am sure it will be quite difficult for him to get a new team in the second half of the season. Like the statistics of last season when he was still with Napoli, it is clear that he experienced a fairly bad decline in performance. On the one hand, his move to join Galatasaray is certainly very good compared to going to the Saudi Arabian league because Osimhen can still compete in the European league this season.

If you look at Osimhen's chances of moving to a top league like the Premier League, it will be wide open in the winter window because his release clause is not as expensive as that applied by Napoli in this transfer market. Moreover, he is still quite young, of course many teams will look at him in the January transfer market, for Chelsea and Arsenal I think these two teams will continue to monitor Osimhen's performance at Galatasaray at the beginning of this season.

I take Saudi League as a league where retired footballers from Europe used to go and earn their money before retirement, any young player that moved to Saudi Arabia teams have probably ended his European football career because there is no any tough competition among the teams, and they are not playing in the Champions League that is why you will hardly see young talented players playing in the tournament.

Osimhen is lucky to have team before the end of transfer summer, if not since he is abandon in the Napoli, he will be very happy to join them because he can now play in another tournament and he will have some experience.

I think the European league has actually been to pompous that the league shouldn’t be traded with Any league. I totally agree that as of today the European leagues are the most competitive league currently, but that’s doesn’t mean other continental leagues wouldn’t grow or is not competitive, the number of players currently moving is signifying that’s the league is not the next Chinese league or how they did their own then, if we analyze this things we would see That the clubs in the league are all recruiting and not just one team which means competitiveness. We can say that young should prioritize staying in Europe because it is the must watch continent club football and it will bring more awareness but for slating it as just for money is not good, even if we see that the amount is way to high and enticing I would simply say that’s how European clubs also got players from Latin nations, the players Moving from Brazil leagues or the rest or other leagues like that this to the European league also did  it because of money if we analyze it in that same context. So money shouldn’t be used to castigate the players because it is everywhere

It can still happen because ultimately performances can get better if there is good chemistry and support and Lukaku had that when he was at Inter.

Serie A is indeed not a new place for Lukaku because after all most of the time Lukaku plays more in Serie A and EPL but for a matter of achievement obviously Serie A is much better.
With the presence of Conte, who in fact has a very good relationship with Lukaku, this could be a new hope for Lukaku to regain lost performance. Although in the end it will not be the same as before but at least this can make him able to return just a little in his prime performance it is very good for Lukaku.

[Stepstowealth]

Was Osimhen playing for passion he had for football or he's simply playing for money?

He was playing for passion obviously at some point but he has been exposed to money, so you must expect that he understands the importance of money, and the reason why he couldn't accept the pay cut at Chelsea. Galatasaray will sort his bills and give him a platform to still show the world that he is still one of the best strikers in the world. My only fear for him is that he doesn't move to galatasaray and perform below expectations by not matching his scoring records in Napoli, because the world is watching.

Hmmmm... That is right that Saudi League is place where older European footballers go to play before they retire. They can earn a lot of money there. League is not very competitive and teams do not play in Champions League. So it is not place where young players who want to be best usually go. But I do not think it is true that if young player goes to Saudi Arabia their career in Europe is over. Some players might go there to learn and get experience and then come back to Europe.

Osimhen is lucky to have found new team. Napoli wasn't the best team for him, but going to Saudi Arabia could be good for him. He can learn and play in new tournaments. But we need to think about if this move is good for his future career goals.

Crisztiano Ronaldo plays for a Saudi Arabian club and is playing in the Euro 2024, as well as Kante, so the Saudi league itself is not a problem and it all depends on the player and if he gives his best in training and plays to the best of his ability, there is no problem to return to Europe. Also in the Saudi league there are a lot of good and quality players for this season Touni, Simakan, Joao Cancelo, Angelo Gabriel, Pierre Aubameyang, Moussa Diaby, Bergwijn, Bento and many others. So the Saudi league is growing and developing and if players behave professionally and do not quit training like Benzema, Neymar or Fabinho, they will have no problems with their future careers and finances.

[bering]

AS Roma has moving fast that after sell Chris Smalling to Saudi Arabian club Al-Fahya apparently it didn't take long for them to find a replacement of him because Roma have reach an agreement with Mats Hummels agent and it says Mats Hummels expected will do medical check soon in Roma and he will signing 1 year contract and although Mats Hummels is 35 years old but he is experience player so in my opinion this is good transfer for Roma and last season Mats Hummels can bringing Dortmund to reach to the final match of Champion league but he has decide not to extended his contract with Dortmund and leave with free agent status

How do you see this? Is Casemiro worth loaning to Galatasaray?

Maybe many of us are wondering why the Red Devils management wants to respond to this discussion but indeed a few days ago, precisely after Manchester United lost to Liverpool, many Red Devils fans attacked Casemiro because he was considered to have made a big mistake in that match.

I think since his arrival at Manchester United, Casemiro has often had problems such as not fitting in with Erik ten Hag's strategy and he has also often been injured during the last season. Maybe many of the clubs are starting to doubt him and if this agreement is reached then Casemiro will try a new challenge in Turkey for one season and at least there he can forget his problems so far at Manchester United.

Casemiro has been a disaster since he arrived Manchester united and keep making gaffes match in match out on a weekly basis. Casemiro was not like this when he was playing at Real madrid and I'm beginning to doubt whether the kind of players he's merge with is the problem. To make it worse for him, United fans are always on his head for the lost after Ten Hang and Onana. I think it'll be the best choice for him to excuse the club and move somewhere else where his presence will probably be appreciated. Osimhen is also heading there and the presence of the duo in Galatasary will definitely create a great impact positively.

I take Saudi League as a league where retired footballers from Europe used to go and earn their money before retirement, any young player that moved to Saudi Arabia teams have probably ended his European football career because there is no any tough competition among the teams, and they are not playing in the Champions League that is why you will hardly see young talented players playing in the tournament.

Why are we making it look like only Europe plays good football? Perhaps, we only focus on European competitions and paying less attention to other continent competitions. I know other continent leagues are not competitive like that of Europe but we shouldn't completely disregard their league and assume they only play for money.

[HajiBagi]

If Osimhen produces good results there is a chance he could be made permanent next season.
But if the quality of the game he is aiming for is not up to expectations then his career will be further dimmed as a loan like this would not benefit him.

Just wanted to add some details about his contract as mentioned about. I posted this on another thread, but some reports suggest that there is a clause in his loan contract that Osimhen can leave in January as long as there are interest from 10 big clubs (including but not limited to Chelsea, Arsenal, etc). Basically it suggest that he's not considering to stay in Galatasaray for long term. Some suggest that this clause suggest Osimhen believes he's very good footballer and won't drop his level for the next 6 months or so. Whether that is true or not, he certainly has some confidence. CMIIW.

Osimhen to Galatasaray is the best option for him but to some people, it is not the best option because how a best player like Victor Osimhen goes to another team on loan, osimhen is more than a loan player, I think that is the best thing. After all, no club can pay what he Demand, osimhen is more than what Chelsea wants to be paying him, some people are saying that Osimhen wants to spoil his career, instead of him going to Chelsea he is going to Galatasaray for money, as a player, you should know what you worth and we don't need to blame anybody for Demanding what he worth.

Galatasaray wants to pay him a good salary and he accepts, from the news, I hear the contract will just be for months and Osimhen wants his release cause to be down so that if any club comes for him they can sign him without any stress, Galatasaray are really happy and I can see from Victor osimhen that he is happy for going to Galatasaray to play for them.

If I was Osimhen I will make sure that Napoli makes no penny on my head. I will make sure I see out my contract with them and leave for free. Same thing that happened with Mbappe at PSG, before he left as free agent to real Madrid. Napoli has taken things too far with the way they have been treating the Nigerian international. You can't force a player to do your own bidding without considering his own welfare. Osimhen made the right decision by going to Galatasaray and will have the opportunity of winning the league there and play in the Champions league football. As a serial scorer he is definitely going to make his mark in the league. At the end of the day Napoli are the one that's going to lose, because Victor is still playing football this season, and his full wages are going to be paid to him and he still have the opportunity to play in the Saudi league at the later stage of his career. But Napoli won't get that transfer fee they were desperately looking for.
