⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Pokapoka124]

Robert Lewandowski is definitely the most important player for his team since he joined Barcelona and we saw Barcelona winning many games just because of Robert Lewandowski and without Robert Lewandowski, they couldn't win any games in La Liga. Now we see Robert Lewandowski is getting older and as a 36-year-old player maybe he is thinking about retiring in Barcelona soon or leaving this team soon because, for a forward player, 36 is a lot.
Barcelona was always trying to find a replacement for Robert Lewandowski and they couldn't find any player but recently Jhon Durán was linked to Barcelona and they hope to see Jhon Durán fill the place of Lewandowski in Barcelona.
Durán is currently under contract with Aston Villa and Barcelona should pay 60 to 70 million Euros for this Colombian player. Durán scored 7 goals in 18 games for Aston Villa which is not bad.
 

Lewandowski is one of the best strikers in the world who thrive to offer constant classic display on the pitch and he's still performing at the highest level up till now that he is near his retiring stage. Nothing last forever, he is old and Barcelona should brace themselves up that in as much as Robert lewandowski can still afford maybe a year more they should be actively involved in the transfer market to be able to find a perfect replacement for Robert lewandowski. And now Jhon Durán has been linked with Barcelona. In as much as his stat at Aston Villa is not bad, I don't think he possess the tactical quality to be able to become a worthy successor for Robert Lewandowski at Barcelona.

Lewandowski is a quality player who has always played at the highest level and has been successful. We all know what he has contributed to Barcelona and I think it would be better for Barcelona to bring in another striker and see how he adapts to the team before letting Lewandowski go. The striker position is not an easy position to replace and therefore, if you have a striker in your team, it would be better to add another player who can fill his position before letting him go.

Barcelona is a team that is capable of making the most beneficial transfers for the team. Although Lewandowski is a difficult player to replace, I think they can find a player close to Lewandowski's level. It is difficult to predict how much Jhon Durán will contribute but Barcelona is a team that every player would want to play for.

Talks are ongoing with Frankfurt to sign Omar Marmoush. The player is already willing to join Manchester City forces. 

However the thing I have been curious about is whether he will be able to find himself a place in the starting lineup there. Because he is mainly a CF you know. But Manchester City has Haaland there and I think there is no way he is losing his shirt to anyone else.

This is why I think maybe Guardiola would like to try him on the left wing. He is right-footed and has really good scoring skills. He shouldn't be on the right wing as a result. On the left there are Doku and Grealish. There would be an interesting competition among these 3 players.

This season Omar Marmoush has received a lot of attention from football fans, his performance with Frankfurt has been quite brilliant by scoring 13 goals in the Bundesliga. I read from various newspapers related to this Frankfurt player, one of which is based on Fabrizio Romano's report. If City really wants Omar Marmoush, or let's say this is Pep Guardiola's wish, I'm pretty sure they have considered bringing him to the Etihad Stadium. As you said, Omar is a center forward. However, it seems that this Frankfurt striker has the advantage of being able to rotate, we can see from several Frankfurt matches if Omar has been rotated. In addition, Frankfurt often plays its striker duo. If Pep really wants this player, it seems that the Manchester City coach has a plan for Omar Marmoush. In addition, he could also play to shadow Haaland who is always a single striker. What is certain is that Pep has a plan to bring him in, at the same time several reports have reported that Omar Marmoush is eager to move to Manchester City. Well, I understand what you mean about this player's position if he joins City, but don't be surprised if Pep Guardiola tries to rotate him in several positions.

Here's we go! Potter for Westham is real. He's getting 2.5yr contract, which i think it's quite long. Glad to see potter ball is back, a coach who have specialization to manage bottom - mid table clubs.

This also means The Hammers already sacked Lopetegui. I think he deserved it as nothing improved from Westham. I know he is decent and passionate person, but not fit to the club. that's why i support club to sack him.

Hopefully, Westham is getting better on Potter's hand.

Yes, it's a done deal Graham Potter is set to become the new coach of West Ham. Congratulations to him on making his return back to the English Premier League. Graham Potter’s unimpressive managerial record with Chelsea, I don't think he can be able to manage West Ham effectively. They need consistent performance, and a clear tactical identity, these are areas that I know would surely take time for Graham Potter to address effectively.

This deal will probobly be done both sides are up for it. Marmoush would be a great addition to the Man City team that is struggling a lot and this opens other strategies of maybe going in attack with two strikers or moving Marmoush to the wing. But Marmoush is really hot now and Man City will have to pay a huge amount for him.

Hmmm, that sounds really good
Omar Marmoush is such a wonderful player. He has a pretty good ability in the attacking sense. His move will make some strong gains to squad depth. Omar Marmoush is a natural striker and his style of play is precisely matched up with the great Kun Aguero. So I think that's why Pep Guardiola loves him to recruit in his team. But the thing is that where would they they used to play him, wether it in the ST position or left wing? I think pep will used to play him as a right winger like more closely to Holland position.

However, if this deal is really going to happen and Pep is really willing to sign Omar Marmoush, so i think Manchester will have to pay a good amount for this deal. Because the current market value of the player is more than  70£ million and maybe the club demands more of the player value than current. So that why it's pretty obvious that Frankfurt will demand more than the current market value.

The coach must have criteria for players who will fill his squad, and in Conte's case he also tried to include Lukaku in the squad that he will handle. Indeed, this looks like favoring the player, but there is nothing wrong with it as long as it does provide a big contribution. And it's not just him who does that, many coaches do the same thing where they bring their players to their previous clubs, yes, even though that's what succeeded and some failed. I can't respond to some of the rumors circulating now, including rumors coming from Napoli about their players.

Conte has no any reason to sell Khvicha Kvaratskhelia at this point in time because he is a very talented creative midfielder as a well as a play maker of Napoli he consistently set up assist thus selling hm in January transfer window might affect their title bid, recall some few weeks ago when Napoli striker Lukaku was firing blank i.e not scoring goals many Napoli fans blamed Conte for allowing Osimen to leave on loan and I am quite sure Conte wouldn't give room for a mistake of selling Khvicha Kvaratskhelia this time around obviously it might be some speculation else the squad would struggle to compete with Atalanta, Lazio and other Italian Seria A teams ,

Conte clearly wants to keep Kvaratskhelia in the team, his departure would unbalance Napoli, as he is a key player in the squad. However, recent reports suggest that PSG is attempting to reach a verbal agreement with Kvaratskhelia. The Ligue 1 giants are reportedly prepared to pay around 80 million to acquire Kvaratskhelia this January. Napoli president might not refuse such an offer, even though Conte does not want the transfer to happen. If it materializes, Kvaratskhelia would be positioned as Mbappe replacement at PSG. Meanwhile, Napoli would need to quickly find a new player to prevent their performance from declining due to the loss of their key player. Personally I tend to think that Kvaratskhelia will soon leave Napoli.

Araujo is close to leave Barcelona and going in Italy to Juventus.
The player is kinda good but he is so injury prone, not sure if it is a good move or not.

Duglas Luiz is also in Manchester United radar now, and in the other direction they want Zirkzee.

They players has a similar value so lets see if it will happen

I think it will be like a breath or fresh air for Araujo. Since his return back from injury, his gaming time has drastically reduced, and I think it's a good thing that he is trying to force his way out of Barcelona in search of guaranteed playing time. I don't think Manchester United should even consider the possible swoop which involves Joshua Zirkzee for Douglas Luiz. Joshua Zirkzee is still a young and talented player and instead of the to sell him I would rather prefer them to loan him out let him get the experience he needs in a less competitive league.

[ingiltere]

Marcus Rashford is one of the transfer favorites at the moment. Manchester United could send him on loan. AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Galatasaray are seriously interested in him. Galatasaray are considering him as a replacement for the injured Icardi. Rashford is a very good player, but Amorim doesn't want him in the team, so the chances of this transfer happening are very high. His salary is very high, so he has to go to a club with a rich economy. It's not yet clear which team he will go to. It seems likely that he will play in Italy, Germany or Türkiye for the rest of the season. If I were him, I would go to Dortmund. The Bundesliga would be a new challenge for him and it's closer to the quality of the Premier League than other leagues.

Fenerbahçe management haven't approved the transfer of striker Youssef En-Nesyri, who has been praised for his recent performances. Al Nassr's offer must have been too low for the management because they didn't approve his departure. Meanwhile, Fenerbahçe are interested in signing Talisca from the same team and it remains to be seen if this decision will affect that transfer. Last week it was reported that there was an offer of 30 million Euro for En-Nesyri, but apparently this news wasn't realistic. Because I don't think the Fenerbahçe management will say no to an offer in this range.

This won't be just about some players in Fenerbahçe and it seems they want to make more changes in this team. We all know after Osimhen joined the Turkish League the other teams tried to hire some players and coaches to not lose the race since Osimhen was a great advantage for them but still for a team like Fenerbahçe considering the money they spent for their teams it's not enough to to have this performance they currently have and that's why we saw new about this team they want to get their famous coach Jose Mourinho fired from the team and hire another coach.
But recently, Ali Koç, the director of this team said they are not planning to get the coach fired and they refer to keeping Mourinho even for a long time.

Juventus has not yet recovered from its past financial problems. Therefore don't expect them to begin to splash money on quality and expensive players. It will take something for them to become financially stable for them to start spending on expensive players. For now, they would have to depend on available and cheap players.

Whenever i hear that some big teams are encountering financial constraints i do imagine how they handled the funds they got from the trophies they won in the past. Juventus has been a dominant team in the Serie A for long and the club has made a lot of money over the years but what i don't understand is how they entered into financial problems that they don't have enough money to buy more quality and expensive players to the team. It will even be better for Juventus to rely on existing players than to be cheap and non-quality players, it won't improve the quality of the squad in any way instead it will cause a waste of money for the team.

[baeva]

Juventus dosent get any good transfers lately. They were a club that i loved how they play now they just get some avg players that cannot make a difference. Zikrzee came to Man Utd but just couldnt get into their style and he should go back to Italy where he dominated on the field. Also Man Utd needs to act fast time is passing and no one was signed yet.

Juventus has not yet recovered from its past financial problems. Therefore don't expect them to begin to splash money on quality and expensive players. It will take something for them to become financially stable for them to start spending on expensive players. For now, they would have to depend on available and cheap players.

That's when his interest in the club reduce, he wasn't interested anymore but the transfer deadline was coming to end. Napoli was ready to let him go, Manchester United was there best bid but Osimhen wasn't interested in the wages, too poor for his worth with what he has done for Napoli and that was how the club was just furious about everything. They tried and he refused until Galatasaray came and he went there because the wages was better. Till now, he is not interested in the Manchester United offer because of the wages.

Any club that wants Victor Osimhen should be able to give him at least the same wages he gets in Galastataray or above. His worth has not deprecated since he is still banging goals and giving quality assists. If Manchester United wants him they know what to do. They should simply negotiate with Napoli and give the striker a better package. If they think he is too expensive, there are still other sound and cheaper players in the market.

Available cheap players sounds incorrect to me, because many decent players are constantly available at an adequate price and as a rule such players are young, after the purchase they will have to be invested in one way or another to develop and after they start playing at a good level they can sell them, thus ‘recovering’ from their past financial problems. But do Juventus need such players now?

There is a good offer that Amorim must take to exchange Rashford with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The potential is much more promising considering Khvicha is a player who is quite ambitious and willing to work hard. Rashford needs to find new experiences outside the Premier League because he also needs a little atmosphere in Serie A. He can also reunite with his teammate McTominay who has already developed rapidly with Napoli.

No doubt that it would surely be an interesting transfer. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is a young and talented attacker who has been linked with so many elite clubs in the world. If Manchester United can be able to make this deal come true then it would be a good situation for the club. Seeing Manchester United swapping Rashford for him will surely be a win win situation for both Manchester United and Rashford who has been falling down the pecking order in the team. This transfer would surely provide Rashford with the avenue to go to a less competitive league than the Premier League to be able to rejuvenate his career, and also provide Manchester United with a player that will surely add an attacking flair to their front line and also contribute to the growth and development of Manchester United.

It will be interesting because as you said at the end of the day Omar Marmoush is a targetman and we know that this position has always belonged to Haaland at Mancehster City in recent seasons.

But there is still an option for a 2 striker scheme actually if it wants to be forced because after all for now Haaland's situation is still very difficult where he seems to run out of gas and can't move when he is tightly guarded by the opponent even though in the last 2 matches for the EPL continuation he seemed to regain his momentum but indeed if in the end Omar Marmoush comes a 2 striker scheme or it could be Omar Marmoush as a coating for Haaland when experiencing a deadlock might happen.

Omar Marmoush this season is quite stealing the attention where the consistency in scoring goals is quite good even for now he can still compete with Kane as the top score in the Bundesliga although maybe this could be his best season and will return to his initial performance next season just like what happened to Sehrou Guirassy who was only good in one season but still faltered in the new season.

Personally, I think it's likely not going to end well for Omar Marmoush if he accepts to move to Manchester City and my reason isn't because Manchester City won't help him win trophies but because he'll not be getting playing minutes. Erling Haaland is Pep Guardiola's preferred first choice striker and I don't think the arrival of Omar Marmoush is going to change that so as one of the hottest strikers in Europe at the moment, the Egyptian should rather move to another club where he'll be the preferred main striker instead of becoming a second choice at Manchester City

Osimhen is currently on a £125k per week in Galatasaray he had previously been upto like $200k before in Napoli and reduce the wages to make his move to the Turkish side for game time, i think if Manchester United can actually sort out the transfer fee with Napoli the wages wouldn’t be that too difficult because any fee close to that former £200k will be ok for him to sign, that’s like 10m per year for him which seems a far too good offer that Manchester United can afford to offer now. As for the transfer fee, Manchester United will have to cough out at least $60m for him considering the new release clause is around £70-£80m at the moment.

Personally, I think it's likely not going to end well for Omar Marmoush if he accepts to move to Manchester City and my reason isn't because Manchester City won't help him win trophies but because he'll not be getting playing minutes.

Yes you’re right there is no player that can force out Halaand out from the starting eleven in world football at the moment except maybe Harry Kane, but one thing you need to get is Omar Marmoush was Frankfurt striker for this season alone he he been playing wider positions in the past most especially left wing which I think he can cement his place there since Grealish is set to leave the club and Doku isn’t reliable to be undroppable

The Bundesliga would be a new challenge for him and it's closer to the quality of the Premier League than other leagues.

Manchester United are poor in form this season, they're yet to settle for bigger outcome. Watching them struggling against oppositions makes me remember old times during the era of Sir Alex Ferguson, he made good changes and puts respect on the club's name. Theater of Dreams is now a common ground where clubs visits and go away with three winning points. All these ugly events happening and you expects the fans to be happy with the current situation on ground? Ofcourse not and this circumstances puts the new manager in tight corner. Ruben Amorim is troubled but he will calm the whole scenario because he's not mediocre but top manager, he will deal with his problems.

Marcus Rashford is not in plans for the new manager. It's obvious because he's been kept on the bench even when he's fit, he's not given enough playing time. Ruben Amorim have made his selections and that keeps Rashford out. He will either continue sitting on the bench or simply force his way through the January transfer window because that's one of the best option for him. Rashford made known his intentions and that puts him on Manchester United's lists of players to trigger their sell clause.

Manchester United are capable of clearing any fees that would stop Oshimen transfer to Old Trafford if they really need Victor Oshimens services at the club, but on the other side ,Oshimen interest to move elsewhere from Galatasaray may have dropped after seeing his performance skyrocket after just few months stay at the club, and besides he's having a good play time at the club and all the necessary good treatment and priority are given to him.

[Leviathan.007]

Theo Hernández a player of Rossoneri was recently about to leave and even teams like Manchester United sent him an offer and they were hoping to see Rossoneri stop working with this player. But still, it seems AC Milan gave a negative answer to offer for this player.
Hernández had offers from Real Madrid and Manchester United and since he was about to end his contract with his team he could even be linked to the other teams. Ac Milan made this decision specifically after the game against Inter Milan in which this player assisted Christian Pulisic in scoring the goal for this team.
They want to extend the contract of Hernández until 2029 for 6.5 million euros.

At the moment with the financial constrain in the club and the FFP on their tail I can say that they are not capable of matching any outrageous demands from Osihmen and his club, if the demands actually surpasses the listed prices I had up there I think the deal will be off. Take for example players like Gernacho and Mainoo who were deemed untouchable and for the future are currently lined up to be sold if good offers comes in because of contract extension dispute over huge wage that both players are requesting for. So anything like that will kill off osimhen move to be sincere

As for him happy in Galatasaray, yes he is very much welcome there but he will definitely go to any of the top European clubs in the top 5 leagues. He Osimhen was the one who included the clause of breaking the loan move when a big club offer comes in and I think he will still want that move now if Manchester United make the move

But what are the official numbers for Manchester United in terms of financial constraints? There is always a lot of talk in the public about the financial situation of clubs, but very often it is not true.

See how Barcelona now could register Dani Olmo when everyone was told that it won't be possible.
