⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Funny enough Arsenal has eyes on him before Chelsea did. I could remember vividly that was in January when Arsenal had huge interest in the player but i dont think they will agree for them man while Chelsea is way ahead of them for Viktor. Unfortunately Arsenal has reconsidered there interest in the pursuit of Viktor Gryokeres but i know it wont yeld any result. My reason is simple. If Arsenal wanted him they would have completed the deal with his agent. I think Arsenal is not interested in any player for now. Chelsea can go ahead and get him but i still doubt if they will agree with the terms and come to conclusion.

Arsenal didn't pursue the player seriously so they failed to get the player and I also see that Arsenal are trying to maximize the players they have.
There is no player that Arsenal have really seriously approached and maybe you are right as you say because Arsenal are not in a position to pursue any player and they have a much more potential squad now.
Chelsea have tried to make an approach and maybe the chances are much bigger and from what we see Chelsea are much more likely because they have the money to make the purchase.

The agreement between the club and the player often gets into trouble so that the club that intends to recruit him decides to back out.
I remember how Osimhen's drama and he failed to move to another club because there was too much drama and finally he was loaned out instead of being sold.

Napoli want Alex Meret to extend his contract because they consider him as an important goalkeeper, but this reminds me of Osimhen situation last season where Napoli also said the same thing but how did it end? for now there is no interest from any club interested in Alex Meret plus he still wants to be with Napoli. One thing I am worried about is Napoli management can change their mind anytime and Conte can easily play any player to be dropped from the main squad.

Jamal Musiala is a Bayern Munich player and we are talking about Manchester City or Real Madrid trying to buy him. That is the risk Bayern Munich is facing at the moment as Musiala is performing very well and he is in a great situation to look forward to any negotiations and get the most out of it. With his contract ending in 2026, it means that next summer there is only one year of contract duration left and Bayern Munich has to make a final call. Either pay him the highest salary ever paid in the Bundesliga or let him go. And even then their situation isn't the best as Musiala could choose to stay for one more year and then leave as a free agent. That is why my guess is that Bayern will indeed offer him quite a bit more than 20 million per year. If that doesn't work, I don't know what other choices they are left with as letting Musiala go without getting a transfer fee is probably no option for them.

Musiala only get paid for 5 Million Euros lol, while other players who have a same skill like him get paid at least 15 Million Euros. If Bayern Munich not willing to increase his salary 5x than now, I'm sure Musiala will join other teams. Better for him to join Manchester City since he need to compete with Bellingham and Guler if he join Real Madrid. Kevin De Bruyne is already old, so Musiala can take his place.

Alex Meret has always been an excellent player and certainly Antonio Conte who is certainly an excellent coach realizes that he is a player to keep in order to achieve an excellent result in the championship and in the cups it is easy to make capital gains with similar players but it is not also It's possible to sell off players who could do well so in my opinion they did well

I agree with you. Napoli wants Alex Meret to stay but I am not sure they mean it. Last season they said same thing about Osimhen and look what happened.
Right now no other teams want Meret and he wants to stay at Napoli. But I worry that Napoli management might change their minds suddenly.
New coach Antonio Conte is known for making tough decisions. If Meret does not fit his plans Conte can not hesitate to bench or transfer him.
Napoli should be honest and clear when negotiating Meret contract. Meret deserves to know where he stands. Only time will tell if Napoli truly wants Meret or if this is just temporary promise.

Gyökeres was on Arsenal’s radar, he was one player admired by Arteta and the club but he was too expensive for the Gunners to acquire. No doubt Arsenal were interested in signing a number nine to lead their attack this season especially after the departure of Eddie Nketiah but failed to finalize a deal with Sporting for Gyökeres until the end of the window but who knows, they could return in January to try again.

Unbelievable with statistic of Viktor Gyökeres last season performance success scoring 29 goals of 33 appearances of domestic league and success contributing 10 assists. Believing he will be ideal central forward for Arsenal if interested for signing him exactly on golden age with potential give more contribution for Arsenal in the Premier League tittle race.
In this season, Viktor Gyökeres Viktor Gyökeres keep consistent with his performance after scoring 8 goals of 5 appearance and spending above 80 million euro will not make Arsenal got disappointed.

Few months left before window transfer January opening I think Arsenal have opportunity for signing Viktor Gyökeres but depend on their bid offer will make Sporting Lisbon interested or not behind his statistic performance many top teams will interest to get his sign. Arsenal have prepare early and reach personal agreement before talking about transfer fees with his club Sporting Lisbon.

Alex Meret is a goalkeeper who has managed to become an important name for Napoli. One of the most important positions in football is the position they play. If your goalkeeper is good, you have a high probability of winning the match. Look at Petr Cech's performance during Chelsea's Prime period. He was a goalkeeper who showed an extraordinary performance and took Chelsea to the next level. I think Meret will play a key role in Napoli's success this year. Conte has prepared him in every way.

Gyökeres says he is happy at Sporting for now.



https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1835674902126379484

His release clause is very high just as he says. It is 100 million euros.    Even though he says he is happy there, I think he would be open to joining a bigger European team at the same time. It is all about meeting the team and player's demands.

No doubt he is happy now though.    Sporting are destroying everyone in the Liga Portugal. Gyökeres also scored 8 goals in 5 games, just brilliant! He is likely to score 30+ goals this time in my opinion.

If only Arsenal signed him... 

I don't think it's too high. If he was to be one of these English youngins growing up, and with the way he converts these goals in, he'll be valued way more than what I'm seeing right now. He might be banging these goals in very well but we need to see him doing it more at a top level consistently especially in the European Competitions. ( Champions League )
Well, this is not the first time we've seen such comments, we all know this would be his last season with them. So, it's feels good to see him enjoying every bit of it.
Has anyone ever envisioned Cristiano Ronaldo swinging that way next season? I see it happening, this might possibly be his last season with Al Nars ( in my head )

[bitgolden]

There are rumours that Rabiot is finally getting to a team, Marseille is getting more interested in him and they are looking at him as a good potential and we should probably see them changing this as well. I believe that Marseille is building a team that is getting seriously good, they are getting all the "unwanteds" together and building a team that is well beyond what they should be doing right now.

I think they figured out a way to actually beat PSG and while they probably won't be beating PSG and not win the league, they at least figured out a way how to cheaply get a way to get better results.

This is why I believe that the best thing to do right now would be just focusing on how to get better results, and that could very well be a good thing for them without a doubt. This way, they are not spending that much money and they are still getting the result that they want, this should be the most important part and still doing fine compared to others.

Of course Musiala will have a good career at Manchester city if Pep Guardiola stays beyond this season. With Kelvin arguably playing his last season with Manchester city Musiala will be a perfect replacement for him. But I don't think Bayern Munich will let him go just like that, unless the Bayern Munich coach don't see him as an important member of his future plans for the club. But if he is considered as important to the future of the club, they are definitely going to give him an improved contract that will increase his pay, unless the player himself wants to make the move. A player of his quality needs to be earning higher than he currently does at Bayern Munich. Everything lies with Pep Guardiola extending his contract with Manchester city because his contract expires in June. But he has hinted that he is likely going to stay further.

Antonio Conte knows what to do towards making top choices for his club. Napoli management happens to be very unpredictable following the shown signs already. The exact same scene for Victor Osimhen who banged vast numbers of goals for Napoli thereby persuading them to win the Scudetto, but what did they do to him? They broke the relationship with the player and excluded him out of the club for irrelevant reasoning. Napoli have eyes for potential players, Alex Meret have compacted to the immense progress of the club. He's one of the solid goal keeper that have made brilliant saves for the club and wanting to exert more actions, let's see if he will extend his contract with the club.

I think Alex Meret wants to extend his contract with Napoli. Because he has played a lot of games in Napoli for a few years. Antonio Conte will give him the value he deserves. Also, Napoli will not have problems in the goalkeeper area for a few more years after extending his contract. The money given to the goalkeeper is always extra money because goalkeepers can stay in a team for a long time. If you find the right goalkeeper, you should not let him go from the team.

We have the same thoughts about the sweet words coming out of Napoli, whether it's a coincidence or Napoli can't be trusted with their words. Imao if there are big European clubs who are very interested in buying Alex Meret, my advice is that it is a more reasonable choice to take. In football sometimes players have to challenge themselves with new and different situations. Whether his career will be much better or not in the future depends on his determination and interest to develop better at his new club. I would like Alex Meret not to be quick to renew the contract offered by Napoli.

I think Napoli will extend his contract because there are no goalkeepers are better than him and the transfer window is already closed. They do have Elia Caprile, but he never played since Napoli signed him, while the other one is an amateur.

There's no clash between Meret and Conte, so there's nothing need to worry about.

Better for him to join Manchester City since he need to compete with Bellingham and Guler if he join Real Madrid. Kevin De Bruyne is already old, so Musiala can take his place.

De Bruyne is currently playing Musiala's position for Manchester City, but apart from that I think that Musiala will take his time before he signs any contract since Bayern Munich is forced to do something about it or otherwise his contract will simply expire. That's surely not in their own interest.

The current salary is of course based on the fact that he signed a long-term contract a few years ago. It is quite normal that players who out of a sudden develop into superstars are still earning the salary that they signed the contract for. He is 21 years old and he knows that his next contract will be crazy. He is in good form at the moment and nobody can pressure him into taking action. Bayern Munich can't pressure because if they say that they will otherwise sell him, he doesn't need to care as he knows that so many clubs after after him.

I think the next contract will be at least 20 million euros. Everything else would be quite surprising and the rich clubs will drive the price up anyway. But Bayern Munich would be out of their minds if they are not ready to pay him pretty much whatever he asks for. He has a long and very promising way to go as a professional.

I remember it correctly, Meret has one year option in his clause with Napoli. He can extend his contract for one more season(2025). And i think he will not be ended in same way like Osimhen. He impressed from the start of the season. He has made 2-3 good saves per match since the start of the competition. In the end, no doubt they wanna hand him a new contract.

Salary issues are quite sensitive for any player, therefore Bayern Munich should not take the wrong steps regarding Musiala. He deserves a salary increase, his contribution to the club is extraordinary, in the last 2 seasons Musiala has contributed 22 goals and 16 assists so it is only right that the club management treats the same thing regarding salary with other players or even more if possible. Believe it or not if this problem is not resolved, the next season transfer market could shake Musiala loyalty when there is a much more reasonable offer and appreciates his career.

Alex meret contract expires at the end of June 2025 later so the current situation allows him can to negotiate with other clubs, Meret has spent 6 seasons with Napoli and I don't think he is a very good goalkeeper to keep by Napoli so far, Conte only have 3 goalkeepers in squad so far and two of them are reserve goalkeepers who just returned from loan last season, Although he is the main goalkeeper of Napoli at the moment but I think his position is not secure at Napoli considering Conte desire to sign another goalkeeper in the winter transfer market later, his performance under the Napoli goal so far has not been good enough and we can see how disappointed Conte is when he made a lot of mistakes when they lost to Verona at the beginning of the this season, meret is one of the goalkeepers in demand by Intermilan and they are reportedly prefer waiting to recruit meret with a free transfer status which will indeed happen in June 2025 later.

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?

Looks like Fabrizio Romano took that bet on Stake. He tweeted that Victor Osimhen scored but that is not accurate. The ball didn’t come off Osimhen’s head so the goal was not given to him. Unfortunately Victor Osimhen couldn’t score as you predicted but had an assist to his name. I’m sure the Galatasaray fans will be very pleased with this outcome. The Turkish League will be fun to watch with Osimhen playing this season.

Since Victor Osimen has performed well in the Italian league, it will be easier for him to do well in the Turkish league. He has performed well in recent matches for Galatasaray. It was not everyone's plan that this player would play in the Turkish league, but in the end, the unexpected happened. It must be said that Galatasaray took a chance. They were able to sign this player to their team very easily by paying a relatively high amount of money where other European clubs were looking to sign this player. Victor Osimen will be a great contributor for this club throughout the season, not only scoring goals but helping other players to score regularly.

The quality of the Turkish league with Serie-A is slightly different and it seems that Osimhen will be more free to be a predator for Galatasaray. However, to achieve a great career seems to be closed for Osimhen, he will most likely not be glanced at again by big teams in Europe. In my opinion, the opportunity for the Nigerian striker would be different if he chose to join the Premier League or La Liga. But I still respect Osimhen's decision and hope he can perform phenomenally so that he can get attention again from big European teams.
