⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Jatiluhung]

At Galatasaray, the Nigerian striker has been in excellent form, including a brace in a 3–2 win over Tottenham in the Europa League. Although Galatasaray wants to keep Osimhen for the long term, the ability to convince him to stay is still a big question mark. Will he accept to stay in this small arena, is he satisfied with the small salary here? And 120 million euros is a huge amount for the Galatasaray club.

In my opinion, the Premier League will be the next ideal place for Osimhen to develop his career. The uncertainty over Osimhen's future could work to the advantage of Premier League sides still interested in the star. Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal will be in the running to monitor Osimhen, with all three clubs likely to look to bolster their attack in the summer transfer window.

As long as Osimhen can show his quality very well and consistently at Galatasaray, I am sure there will be many big clubs who want this player. Not only from the Premier League but also from big clubs from other leagues. In fact, rumors circulating are that there are clubs from the Arab league who also want Osimhen's services. But the problem is that his release clause, which is indeed high, really makes it difficult for this player to find a club that can afford to pay his release clause from Napoli.

I am worried that Osimhen will only continue to be loaned out if it turns out that no club still dares to pay the fee for releasing Osimhen from Napoli. I also hope that Osimhen can go to a club from the Premier League. Because Osimhen once said in an interview that one day he wanted to play for a Premier League club. And I hope his wish can come true. Because he deserves to play in a big league like the Premier League.

It's a gambling i guess.

It's the same story when Manchester United signed Hojlund and Zirkzee from Serie a. I remember how big the euphoria of Manchester United fans when those strikers came. They even said Hojlund was better than Haaland. Now, those players are performing badly.

They should focus on developing their own strikers. It's better than trying to bring in a new striker to Old Trafford. I'm only worrying that if Gyokeres will be ended like Hojlund or Zirkzee. If they wanna bring Gyokeres to the club, they must off load one of their striker now.

Sometimes a fan is always positive about what their favorite team does, but they forget that the competition in the EPL is not easy. Many players have high quality talent but after joining several teams in the EPL, they don't seem to give impressive performances.
And regarding Amorim who wants to bring in Gyokeres, I think he has experience in one of the EPL teams so he knows what he has to do. The problem is Amorim has to release 1 player to make room for Gyokeres.
But I just have a little concern if the coach makes a lot of changes, I'm afraid it will take a long time to get a stronger performance because it takes time to adapt.

Making room for Viktor Gyokeres will not be difficult to do as Joshua Zirkzee is a player who was not part of the plan, so he is most likely one of those who will be kicked out in the upcoming transfer window. It would be sad if it really happened because he just came in this season, and now he has to be thrown away because the person who took him has already left.

I think there will be some players who will be released because it seems like Amorim will not get much budget in January, so to increase the budget he has to sell players first.

Not sure if this has been discussed before, but I have some thoughts and questions.
Is it possible that the rumors will come true? On one hand, PSG can always bring in players with higher quality and Kolo Muani position could be replaced by a new player in January or at the end of the season.
I know that PSG currently needs the contribution of the player. But if PSG has better players, Kolo Muani could be replaced.

Kolo Muani is still a young and talented footballer who is fully committed at PSG. And the rumours about him wanting to leave the club is not true, as there is no solid evidence to that claim. Rather he is fully dedicated in contributing to the team's success. Also considering that PSG just acquired him for a huge transfer fee from Frankfurt, it is unlikely that the club would want to part ways with him so soon. Kolo Muani’s skills and technical ability makes him a valuable asset to the club as they seek to rebuild and aim for domestic and European success.

I have good news for Tottenham fans because recently Tottenham has starting to activate Son Heung-min clause and it says under his current contract Tottenham has a right that they can able to extended Son Heung-min contract for 1 year and currently the process is still on going which possibly he will stayed at Tottenham until 2026 and Son Heung-min contract will be expired on June 2025 and some speculation are appears regarding his future because previously there was a rumour Son Heung-min will leave Tottenham this summer but apparently these rumours is not true and most likely Son Heung-min will be stayed at Tottenham for much longer

I hope that one day Osimhen's wish to play in the Premier League comes true, as it would allow the world to see more of his talent. The quality of his striking ability on the field deserves to be showcased in the Premier League. However, I doubt this will happen during the January transfer window, as Osimhen plans to stay with Galatasaray until the end of the season, and the club seems supportive of that decision. Let's see how Napoli and Galatasaray would agree on that

Currently Pogba status is as a player free agent, he can choose any club that is interested in him. Previously, there was an issue circulating that Pogba would train at Manchester United's Carrington, but according to the latest information from Fabrizio Romano, the news is not true. Several clubs have begun to show interest in bringing him in, but so far no agreement has been reached. In my opinion, he should consider the offer from Aston Villa because the club is starting to give competition for the top four, so the possibility of playing in the UCL is very big.

Aston Villa would be the most appropriate club choice, because in the last 2 seasons Aston Villa has been able to develop rapidly and at least this club is preparing something big in the Premier League. Pogba can contribute and I am sure his presence will provide a plus value to inject Aston Villa to its best level. However there is one thing that Pogba must put aside, namely his salary no club will give such a large value for a player who has been absent for a long time.

Absolutely no way. It's such a degrade for Villa to sign Pogba as their new player. They have no reason to sign an old, bad reputation player with a very high salary. It's impossible to happen.

Pogba seems to play well only when he wants to. He has a long injury record and would likely want high wages. He is not fit for Villa's squad.

source: Florentino Perez moves Real Madrid away from prospect of January signings

Florentino Perez reportedly does not want Ancelotti to bring in new players in the upcoming January transfer market. Ancelotti's desire is contrary to the principle of the club president where Perez wants to prioritize buying players at the end of the season. It seems that if Ancelotti follows this path, he will have difficulty bringing Real Madrid to compete tightly in La Liga and the UCL competition because as we know, the club's condition is currently being hit by a storm of injuries. Do you think this really has to be done by Real Madrid or is this just a rumor that is not yet certain?

Real Madrid is one of the best club in the world and they need to perform at the highest level to maintain that status. Looking at this recent Real Madrid squad, you will agree with me it has been hit with major injuries with the likes of Dani Carvajal their veteran right-back sidelined, their keeper Courtious and Rodrygo are all out with injuries. All this suggests that Real Madrid needs to look into the next coming transfer window if they want to overcome their injury problems. Florentino Perez not wanting any January transfer baffles me. If they don’t sign players to increase their squad depth this January, Real Madrid’s progress this season will be hindered and might cost them the opportunity to win a trophy this season.

This player Son have served this very club for long and still no trophy to show for and with the number of good players they had then even till now they can't even stay at the top 4 for a longer period. Son played with Harry Kane still nothing to celebrate as a trophy and this two players made the attacking department stronger than it is now so I don't even think Son should consider staying, he deserves better than what he is receiving, a more productive club should come for him.
Since his contract is expiring next year I hope he won't start thinking of extending his contract for another 2-3 years, to me Tottenham is a failed club and they can't win any trophy but if eventually they manage to get a trophy this season then it would be one of there greatest achievement and they should be thankful to the manager because I see a productive outcome in his stay at Tottenham Hotspur.

The problem lies in the salary which makes it difficult for some teams to recruit him, Pogba's performance can still be said to be good even though he often gets injured. Aston Villa need to think about maturity if they want to recruit him because the salary issue could make it difficult for them to fulfill. He still has the ability to perform consistently, it's just that the team that recruits him needs to think about such a high salary and clubs who don't have good finances will have a little problem fulfilling his wishes and Aston Villa's current condition does not allow them to recruit him due to the club's financial problems.

This is really confusing me. Florentino Perez is usually very active when the transfer window is available, and Carlo Ancelotti on the other hand will remain very quiet. So it is quite strange if Florentino Perez prevents Ancelotti from being active in the January transfer window, even though it is obvious that the Real Madrid squad needs additional power and talents so that they can face the competition with a good chance and confidence.

Could it be that Real Madrid doesn't have much budget left? or is it just part of their strategy, so they can quietly make deals without any interference from other clubs?

While Osimhen was really close to leaving Galatasaray and Napoli and joining the Saudi League and there is even news about him leaving Galatasaray for the other teams in Serie A, it seems this player is even about to extend his contract with Galatasaray and staying there after ending his loan time. While Galatasaray got Osimhen for a loan but they are happy to have this player in the team and that's why they want to have Osimhen permanently.
Osimhen was close to joining PSG and Chelsea too but he is currently playing for Galatasaray on loan.
However, Galatasaray should pay 120 million euros for him which is a huge amount of money.

I think Napoli can not get 120 million for Osimhen and the real price that Galatasaray is ready to pay is 50 million considering not the easiest character of Osimhen, but because of Osimhen's good game, his transfer value is growing and by the summer may reach 75 million, so Galatasaray will not be easy to keep him.
I think Galatasaray have not had such expensive transfers before and even if Osimhen wants to stay in the Turkish league, Napoli probably won't want to loan him out for a second season and will try to sell him to a place where they will pay more for him, and that is the Saudi league. 

What makes you feel that no European club will be able to buy Osimhen the amount that Napoli is requesting for apart from the Saudis. If Osimhen performance keeps increasing and he picks form any moment from now on, you will see big clubs in Europe that will go for him, because capable of giving them what they want as a striker. I am happy for this young man because he find it very easy to adapt to Galatasaray football style and is performing wonders for them as a good striker.

[hyudien]

Sometimes a fan is always positive about what their favorite team does, but they forget that the competition in the EPL is not easy. Many players have high quality talent but after joining several teams in the EPL, they don't seem to give impressive performances.
And regarding Amorim who wants to bring in Gyokeres, I think he has experience in one of the EPL teams so he knows what he has to do. The problem is Amorim has to release 1 player to make room for Gyokeres.
But I just have a little concern if the coach makes a lot of changes, I'm afraid it will take a long time to get a stronger performance because it takes time to adapt.

Everything is still in a gray area so there is no broad picture of the quality of Man United under Amorim. We as spectators are certainly curious about what breakthroughs Amorim will show. But what is clear is that going through the rest of the season left by Erik Ten Hag is not easy, especially since there are quite a lot of problems to face. Amorim will play against Ipswich, Everton, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, and Man City for the second time facing Pep Guardiola but with a different team.

Whoever the player is, when the player can show a brilliant performance, there will be many clubs interested in bringing him in, even with high demand from a player. We have seen a lot of that, where a player sets a new record regarding transfers or very high salaries, when they are players who deserve it.
However, it is not uncommon for players to be brought in with high costs and salaries, while they are unable to show their best for the club that bought them, that is a very common thing in football.
The same thing with Victor Osimhen, actually last season there were many clubs who wanted to bring him in, especially when he managed to bring Napoli to win the title.

What makes you think Florentino Perez is usually very active when the transfer window opens, while Carlo Ancelotti is the opposite? I think Florentino Perez was not active when the transfer window opened, and Carlo Ancelotti was very keen to get the excellent players he was missing in his squad. We should know that President Florentino Perez seems to prioritize long-term planning over big spending in January, the reason why is because President Florentino Perez is the financial manager of the team, so he calculates very carefully. He is prioritizing a big transfer window in the summer of 2025 rather than spending money in the winter. Florentino Perez is the type of man who spends wisely rather than rushing to spend money to fix the squad immediately.

Only time will tell whether Aston Villa actually sign Pogba or whether the rumours of their interest in signing the Frenchman will simply fade away. Pogba is an experienced player, he also has the ability to control the rhythm of the game, he can still be relied on if Aston Villa needs his services. Salary issues can be negotiated, if both parties have reached an agreement to work together, anything is still possible. In my opinion, if a deal is done, Aston Villa will not sign him for more than 2 seasons, injury history being one of the reasons.

Managers talk about transfers all the time. But it's always the president of the club who makes the transfer. I think Ancelotti strengthens the club president's hand by keeping silent during the transfer window. Also, he sends a message to the outside that they are a harmonious duo. Also, talking about transfers when the club is in negotiations can give leverage to the other side. I think they are using a good strategy. I'm sure they talk to each other about it. They are both very experienced.

The speculations about the future of Paul Pogba will keep increasing until he finally settles in a club. The news that he might return to Manchester United has been laid to rest after it was confirmed that the news that he would be training in Carrington was false. There is also news of interest not just from Aston Villa but also from Newcastle United.

I don't think salary negotiations will be a problem since his main priority will be to return back to football. He would get an increase in pay if he proves to be a dependable player because clubs don't know about his present performance since he has been out of football for a long time. The French midfielder is currently training hard in Miami and waiting for a good offer.

It's very well said. Son has always been carrying his club, but still no trophy for him. He is just another kane now.

It's very disappointing to see him waste his career at a trophyless club like Tottenham. He could do better at a bigger club. But, this time, he's 32 years old, and impossible to search for a big club that interested in recruit him as a new player.

What a wasteful talent. I was hoping him to follow Park Ji Sung's path, but he's failed.

Do you guys saw this:

Palmeiras president Leila: “Neymar will not join Palmeiras, this club isn’t a medical department”.

“I want someone who will come to join immediately, who can play tomorrow if the manager wishes”.

“I won’t accept us signing a player who’s unfit to play”.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1857991034950529468?t=m1ziCZd3rzm2v0tyqWYYsw&s=19

  Zero lies but also zero respect for Neymar. The same idea could have been formulated in a much more correct way.
It's funny that literally this was discussed here the other day and the same thoughts were expressed. I wonder how long Neymar's "career" will last given that many people are starting to think like this.

In my opinion, the situation is not good for him. This is probably because during the time he was injured, he was constantly involved in controversies, so the Brazilian teams don't want him. For example, Durcesio Mello, who is the president of Botafogo, said that Neymar ruined his career and that Botafogo would not sign Neymar. Maybe if another Brazilian team signed Neymar and he didn't get involved in controversies, he could go back to being a great player and could end his career in a good way, like Messi and Ronaldo are doing. Many famous Brazilian players ended their careers badly. There are even cases of great Brazilian players from the past who are now being convicted in court for sexual abuse crimes. Parties with women have been one of the biggest ways of destroying players' careers.

Yes, no matter how much people deny stereotypes or consider them "unfair", "offensive", etc., but the fact remains - for players from some regions, discipline remains an unattainable bar. Only a few are able to remain professionals for many years, but the majority, having achieved fame and money, have several bright seasons and then retire early (compared to such mutants as Modric/Ronaldo). Neymar is of course the most extreme example - he had the talent to become a genius, but in fact he realized very little of what he could.

Son Heung-Min have been one of the most outstanding players of Tottenham Hotspur in the last decade and have maintained a good relationship with the club management and fans so I don't think his future with the club will be that debatable. Son's current contract expires at 2025 summer but has a clause in his contract that allows Tottenham Hotspur to further extend to extra one year. I think both parties will peacefully arrive to an agreeable terms on or before the end of the current season and decide if he'll remain for another year or leave by next summer.
