⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Pokapoka124]

David Datro Fofana is going to the Turkish Super League.

He is also one of the names Chelsea has signed but hasn't given much chance. I know he is still young (21) but let's see. Not every young player being loaned to other teams turn into better players. I hope he improves his skills more in time. Maybe it is better for him to leave Chelsea for now though. Because you know how many players they have signed recently.    It is really not easy to prove yourself among too many players...

It is really not easy proving yourself amongst so many talents and in the case of Chelsea they have quite a huge number of players in their squad who eventually all need to prove themselves because I doubt Enzo Maresca has settled for his first eleven team. Everyone seems to be on trial at Chelsea at the moment which is why I think it will be a good time for Fofana to leave and get playing time elsewhere though he is just 21 but there are better opportunities out there for him.

So the transfer season is now over for all leagues and to summarise, there were not so many transfers this year compared to the last few years, but there were a few very crazy ones such as Mbappe to Real Madrid and that free of charge or that Oshimen did not move to the Premiere League but to Galatasaray, even if it is only a loan transfer I find it crazy that such a player will play in the turkish league.

Yes, these are the only two crazy news amongst the other transfer news because these players have something in common; they are all important players in their previous team and they both have lost interest in the teams and they are ready to leave the teams even with small fee that couldn’t satisfy their former team.

Real Madrid paid well for Mbappé, while in the case of Osimhen, there are several controversies over price negotiations with different teams including PSG, Chelsea, and others, and after all the attempts been made by several top teams for Osimhen were all turned down as the player letter join Galatasaray for n a loan deal which no obligation to buy, he further extended his contract with Napoli, and Napoli has made it clear that he will be leaving after his loan or even before finishing from Galatasaray if Chelsea or any Big team pay and the player is convinced to join them.

I think this Osimhen Saga will forever be spoken off. I personally criticized the player on waiting for different clubs but retracted my comments when I heard that it was Napoli that were frustrating him. Many thought it was conte but reported had it that he wasn’t the one that rejected him but the club placed him in on a list of players to be sold. First it was rumored that PSG never reached agreement with Napoli because the fee was just too high and secondly it was rumored that Chelsea deal was also delayed because of fee and not Osimhen rejecting them and even Mikel Obi who was said to be the intercessor for Chelsea said the bid of Chelsea was accepted late by Napoli and Also that of Al Ahli too.

This was just a saga and Chelsea hanged on too long for me they should have gotten another striker instead now they have Jackson to rely on or they play a false nine with the likes of Nkunku and Joao Felix playing that role perfectly, if it doesn’t work they can go back for Osimhen in January with his release clause now reduced in the new contract

Coach Arteta has signed a new contract with Arsenal, the deal will be announced soon by the "Gunners". The Spanish coach has contributed greatly to Arsenal's dramatic change since replacing Unai Emery at the end of 2019. Mikel has been a key figure in returning Arsenal to the top echelons of English and European football while creating a new bond between the team, the club, and the supporters.

With the new contract, Arteta can get closer to the salary Pep Guardiola is receiving. Arteta's agreement to stay at the Emirates Stadium, ending speculation about his future, will help Arsenal be more confident before conquering the Premier League title, as well as the Champions League.

Arteta has done a great job with the Arsenal squad since taking over as the manager. He’s made Arsenal a very strong and competitive side in recent seasons. The only fans who talk negatively about him….the “what has he won for Arsenal critics” are rival fans who are unhappy to see Arsenal compete for the number one spot on the table. I see a very bright future with Arteta managing the club. Extending his contract is the best decision for Arsenal. I can bet Manchester City would be very interested in getting Arteta should Pep resign today. Arteta is arguably the second-best manager in the EPL right now.

Previously, Andriy Lunin was rumored to be leaving after his contract with Real Madrid expires in June 2025. He wants to find a club that can guarantee his position as the main goalkeeper because while he was still at Real Madrid, his playing opportunities were very minimal because the coach trusted Thibaut Courtois more as the main goalkeeper. Now he has officially extended his contract with Real Madrid and will stay there until June 2030.

His decision to extend his long-term contract is in stark contrast to his wishes last season as he is well aware of the difficulties of breaking into the first team while Thibaut Courtois remains at Real Madrid. This deal is very beneficial for Real Madrid because they do not lose one of their players for free, his services can also be used when Courtois is injured or in other competitions such as the Copa Del Rey or the Club World Cup.

I can even guarantee that Jamal Musiala is much more important than Harry Kane, last season before Kane, Jamal Musiala role managed to contribute 12 goals and 10 assists so it makes sense for Bayern Munich to keep him longer. If they don't act soon, there will be many clubs who intend to bring him in at any price. He is still young but his maturity level on the field is unquestionable.

In my opinion, Jamal Musiala cannot be compared to Harry Kane because both of these players are important players for Bayern Munich at this time and the club will definitely continue to use these 2 players in every match, Harry Kane is a senior player and his experience in the Europa League is undoubtedly the club still needs him in the team no matter even though he is 31 years old he can still stay in the team maybe until he is 35 years old, while for Jamal Musiala the club will try to maintain him as much as they can but also not too pushy if there is a club that is interested and willing to pay a high price maybe Bayern Munich will release him by setting a high price because he is a valuable asset.

Musiala and Harry Kane are of course two mainstay players whose positions are difficult to replace at the moment, so Bayern Munich will of course not try to let thir go easily , I  think Kane can't be compared with Musiala considering the position and role of both of them is also very different now, but in terms of sharpness and contribution of course both of them have made a big contribution to Bayern Munich's game so far, I think Kane is a player who is currently very safe both in terms of contract and position at Bayern Munich, but Musiala actually has to be Munich is the main focus for them to pay attention to considering the situation of Musiala who is currently being targeted by many teams, Musiala is still very young and he is a very valuable asset in the future, so it is very appropriate for Bayern Munich to retain him at this time.

Well that's what I mean it's not fair to compare him with Harry Kane because these two players occupy different positions and have different roles, Bayern Munich also doesn't want to lose Harry Kane for any reason because he has become the top scorer in the Bundesliga in his first season and that is a good result we just have to wait for him to bring Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga title again with Jamal Musiala because these two players are important factors in Bayern Munich's game so far, what I know is that Bayern Munich is the type of club that always maintains its mainstay players so that the club's performance remains stable and they will only release their mainstay players if they feel they are no longer possible to compete.

Jackson signed his contract until 2033. Damn, what kind of longterm plan do the Blues want to show. This seems too early, I mean at least Jackson should go through this season until the end and see how much contribution he can give to the club. Since the deal has been done, so hopefully what Chelsea is doing can go well. Once again Jackson indirectly has a heavy burden on his shoulders to prove he is worthy, because if not then Jackson will receive a bitter risk from all the fans.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1834549595822506122

I don't know how this happened, whether it was initiated from the side of Jackson or from the management side. Giving a player like Jackson which I consider as average a contract of 8 years is outrageous or strange to me. It is also a risk to Jackson because he could be lucky and become a world sensation, then moving to a better club would be a problem.
Anyways, I'll need to know the clauses of this contract; the wages and the release clause before I'll make a better judgement.

I can’t believe Chelsea passed on Victor Osimhen because of “wages” problems. And then give Nicolas Jackson a new contract. 9 years is a long time. What has Jackson done to earn this confidence from the club. I don’t understand the kind of faith the club has in Nicolas Jackson. You have a striker who cannot score goals no, what is the guarantee that he will be any better enough in 6 years time. You only succeeded in having a washed up player in your hands. I can’t wait to watch the next Mikel Obi’s podcast. He always has something nice to say about Jackson.

The 23-year-old Senegalese scored 14 goals in 35 games last year. This is a good statistic in a bad season for Chelsea. Jackson started well this year too. But nine years is a very long time. I don't think it's right for a football player to sign a nine-year contract. The system changes and the player may want to leave the team. In this case, there is no point in tying yourself to Chelsea for nine years.

Enzo Maresca included him in his future plans at Stamford Bridge, impacting more confidence and evident structure for these players. Following the stats, Nicolas Jackson is a competent goal scorer for Chelsea and extending his contract to 2033 is really a solid deal for the Senegalese. Nicolas Jackson made a good run previous season but was unable to bagged more goals following his heavy big miss in games which was definitely out of line for the frontline. However this season is a different one and there's possibility for Nicolas Jackson to become prominent for the club, he's working extremely hard on himself and proving to become one of the outstanding frontline in the English Premier League. Nicolas Jackson just need to be consistent in his stellar display for the club.

I only consider the transfer of Victor Osimhen to Galatasary after Chelsea deal and other clubs like PSG failed. It sounds crazy but it seems Osimhen had no option since he was somewhat frustrated by Napoli.

The transfer of Mbappe to Real Madrid isn't crazy and neither was it surprising. This is because from last season, we had already known how it will be. And nothing different has happened.

The transfer market for all leagues in Europe has officially closed now, so we will no longer see transfer activity occurring from European teams, most teams have succeeded in getting their target players, but many other teams has also failed to recruiting new players, if you look at the current transfer activity I think Chelsea is the team that is recruiting the most players, while Liverpool is actually the team that is carrying out the least activity in the transfer market, previously we knew if speculation was widely discussed in the transfer market  is related to Osimhen and a lot of speculation has been created from what happened to Osimhen before, but what we see now does not match what continues to be rumored after Osimhen has been linked with PSG and Chelsea for so long, Osimhen transfer to Galatasaray is surprising before the transfer market ends, but I think Osimhen's move to Galatasaray is the right alternative for him, because at this time he needs club to maintain his playing performance after Osimhen no longer has a place in the Napoli squad.

Mbappe's Saga had been running for a few years, and many people have correctly predicted it. There's nothing surprise from this transfer.

It's kinda different to the Osimhen's Saga. There have been many things happened on his transfer path. It started with Napoli. They set a 130m release clause. Then, Newcastle made a 100m offer, but Napoli rejected it. Even when received some offers from PL clubs, but none predicted that he would be ended on Turkish league.

Osimhen is wanting to prove himself quickly so he can go to a bigger club at the mid season. That's gonna happen only if he will able to build a good chemistry with his teammates at Galatasaray.

I'm looking forward for which club that would pay 75m for someone with 1 yr left on their contract next yea.

Yeah Osimhen is in this situation and I can say that this is the last chance for him to prove that he deserves to return to the top league of course in this way Osimhen has to contribute more to Galatasaray while winning the title and the golden boot, he will start the first match today when Galatasaray played Rizespor. Do you believe that Osimhen will score his first goal in this match? just checked out this betting option and it seems the market is predicting he will do it 1.59 for this bet, not interested?

Regarding the contract, Osimhen's contract actually still has 2 years left, if he returns from Galatasaray then Napoli still have control over this player well, that will be the final decision for Napoli because it is certain that Osimhen will not extend his contract. As I said before I would like to see Osimhen playing in the Premier League so we can compare him with other great strikers, Is he worthy of the title of having a market value of 100 million?

We have to see his performance first throughout his time at Galatasaray. if he has difficulty playing in a different competition, it will reduce his performance and it is possible that when his contract ends he will be released by Napoli at a cheaper price.
It may not be too difficult for Osimhen to become the most productive player in the Turkish League. Galatasaray itself has defended the Turkish Super League title for the past two seasons. with the help of a team like that it will not be difficult for Osimhen to show his quality.

Yes, Osimhen went to one of the best teams in the Turkish league. He is currently in the team that won the last two championships and the quality of the league may be a little lower than Osimhen, but there are tough defenders. If they play hard against Osimhen, there is a chance they can injure him. I hope he completes this season without getting injured and goes to the team he will go to next year in better shape. I am surprised how he hasn't gone to the Premier League yet. I thought he would have signed with Chelsea long ago.

[Velvet78]

I assume these Osimhen discussions are going to continue for one more year because of his loan at Galatasaray. His future is still undecided. However I don't expect us to talk about it more than a year. Because his release clause must have dropped a level like 75-80 million euros now. There is no way that we wouldn't see any rich team paying that amount to sign him next summer. 

As far as I have heard, Chelsea has already sent some scouts to observe him at Galatasaray this season. This will surely push Osimhen more to play impressively at his current team. This would be a plus for the Turkish side.

I hate it when you are coming into a team and you're faced with so much expectations from all angle waiting for what you can deliver. It has an high chance of putting pressure on the player and might cause him to under perform. It's almost the same thing that's happening to mbape and real Madrid as people are expecting him to do wonders in the team and don't be surprised that if they don't perform well this season, he will take most of the blames.

The ability of the Galatasaray coach to managing him well will determine how well he's going to perform in the club. From his performance at the first two games he played at the national level for his country after the whole transfer saga broke out, he's still at tge top of his game and hopefully, he will do well when he plays his first game for his new club. From the previous head to head games Galatasaray plays with Rizespor, they've had 4 wins and only lost one of the 5 encounters they've played in the past. From that standpoint, if he's going to get his first start from today's game, it will be very rewarding to see him scoring goals most expecially when you're considering that his replacement at Napoli had a goal on his derby game.

I think world football has struggled to produce talented strikers in recent years. The compact football mentality reduces the number of players who stand out with their individual skills. So, even if Osimhen doesn't perform very well at Galatasaray, there will be clubs who will want to sign Osimhen because the number of players like Osimhen in world football is decreasing day by day. Stars like Osimhen, Haaland and Mbappe are players who can single-handedly change the score and the game when the team is bad...

yes this is very true but you are forgetting about the new generation of phenomena that is coming up, there are kids who are 16 years old who are already very strong and the generational turnover is really excellent, we will just have to wait for the kids to come up and demonstrate their value, regarding Osimhen I say that he is an overly confident player

[punk.zink]

Osimhen is a good striker, it's just that he can't make what he wants happen. If only he hadn't been so stubborn to choose PSG as his place to land, maybe he wouldn't have had to end up at Galatasaray. He is also unlikely to stay at Napoli because the relationship is no longer good there. It is still unclear why the deal between Napoli and Chelsea did not happen, maybe because Osimhen wanted a big enough salary, or it could be because he didn't really want to move to the Premier League at that time.

Galatasaray became Osimhen stepping stone to return to the highest league, was not very easy, he really had to work hard to attract the attention of big teams again. Yes Galatasaray is now the only ticket Osimhen has until January next year. Hopefully he will be able to score many goals in the Turkish League, coincidentally today Galatasaray against Rizespor and Osimhen will certainly appear for the first time. We want him to adapt quickly because there is not much time.

Apart from wanting a big pay check, Victor Osimhen saw the treatment he got from Napoli as disrespectful and that's one of the main reasons he never accepted to join Chelsea until his own terms were met.

 After the Chelsea deal failed, many thought he would spend the rest of the first half of the season without a club before Galatasaray made that late move.

Victor Osimhen's move to Galatasaray is a good one if you ask me because he's gone to a club where the fans have shown him nothing but love and are ready to cheer him up on big games, the club is currently the most consistent team in the Turkish Super Lig at the moment so he's very likely to win a trophy this season as well.
