⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Justbillywitt]

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.

Omar marsmoush is a talented footballer that have potentials and it's a good thing that Manchester City wants to sign him and I’m sure under Pep Guardiola he is going to fulfill his potential. Omar Marsmoush is young, and he has the vision for scoring goals. All his technical abilities makes him a perfect feet for Manchester City. I don’t think it will be difficult for Pep Guardiola to find tactics that will accommodate Omar Marsmoush.

One thing I like about Manchester city scouting team is that they always have eyes for quality players. Any player they identified as a potential target is usually top class. Omar Marmoush is undoubtedly going to be a success at Manchester city. Manchester city are in serious need for a second striker. They have ensured a difficult season so far because they have lacked a good striker to add as a support to Haaland. When Alvarez was at Manchester city, there are times when it becomes difficult for Manchester city to score goals with Haaland, Pep Guardiola always switched tactics and introduce Alvarez,  and you see the game change immediately and city will win in the end. Sometimes he play them both and the results keeps flowing their way. But with only Haaland it becomes difficult to do that. If City succeeds in signing him, then they are going to have a frantic second half of the season, because Omar Marmoush have a proven record and he is up there among the best strikers in Europe top 5 leagues this season.

Araujo began to feel uncomfortable with his situation at Barcelona, ​​he slowly began to lose his place in the main squad after Martinez and Cubarsi became a solid wall in the defense line. Barcelona must be more careful in making decisions, especially with the current situation. They don't need to buy Jonathan Tah because registering Olmo and Pau Victor is very difficult, it is better to keep Araujo especially since he is still young. Flick should try to pair Cubarsi and Araujo in the defensive area, Martinez did play very well, but he is old.

Barcelona is in a difficult condition related to their finances, when currently they still have not found the right solution for Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, it is clear that recruiting Jonathan Tah will again create new problems later, although it is likely that Jonathan Tah will be recruited for free but still the burden of Jonathan Tah's large salary will make their finances even more problematic , with Barcelona current situation, of course, maximizing the available players can be an alternative as you said, Araujo have extraordinary talent regardless of the difficulty factor of competing with Martinez, but at least he can still be a better back up later, especially maybe Araujo can create flexibility in the defensive line if indeed paired with Cubarsi.

Liverpool would definitely benefit from Osimhen more than any other team, that could actually make them be better than everyone else. I mean if United gets Osimhen, or Chelsea, or even PSG, none of them would win something they wouldn't without Osimhen, adding him wouldn't make them win anything. But with Osimhen, Liverpool would basically guarantee the league title, and also they may have a good chance winning UCL as well.

Right now they are playing with Nunez on striker whenever they put him in the game, and that dude is one of the worst strikers I have seen, in fact, so much so that I wouldn't start Nunez on Galatasaray where Osimhen plays, dude is that bad, and Liverpool is only doing great because they have offensive talent like Salah who is there to score. If they could replace Nunez with Osimhen? That would be dream come true and it would not be all that easy at all, it would actually end up being very different and could result with much different score.

That would be dream come true and it would not be all that easy at all, it would actually end up being very different and could result with much different score.

Nunez is a terrible player in the recent years and I don't think Napoli would like that kind of a swap.    If it weren't for Salah's extra performance this season, I wouldn't also expect Liverpool to be this dominant. Because this guy is contributing to nearly every goal. 

He is already a Liverpool legend in my opinion. He is one of the best active players in football currently too. Maybe even the best actually. But his future is also ambiguous at Liverpool as he isn't offered a new contract. He also stated that this would be his last year there...

Liverpool will have to work really hard in the summer. They will need to fill Salah's place with a very solid player. In addition to that they had better solve the striker problem at the same time.

[Leviathan.007]

Kvaratskhelia is a hot asset that which is contested in transfer market at this time, the performance and consistency that has been shown by him is an attraction for some of the big teams that exist today, so far  no common ground on Salah contract, so indeed Liverpool should be looking for another player who can be a successor if Salah leaves later, indeed Kvaratskhelia can be a good option on the left wing and will provide stiff competition with Gakpo and Luis Diaz who are also have the same position, but unfortunately Liverpool or Manchester United chances of getting Kvaratskhelia has been wiped out at the moment, after it was reported that Napoli and PSG had found a deal for 80 million euros.

This is clear after Osimhen exit from Napoli now Kvaratskhelia is one of their main playmaker who is also important for the Antonio Conte who is currently doing hard work for having something good at the end of this season. Suddenly few clubs are starting tagging Kvaratskhelia specially we have good intention from PSG and Liverpool as they are looking for securing his services but most chances we will be not had this transfer before end of this season because this can ruin Napoli run in this season.



His contract is going to end in June 2027 while his tag price which is set by Napoli CEO Aurelio De Laurentiis is €80m he is not good at dealing transfers because we have few worst decisions by him which give them big loses with most chances he will learn from mistakes and now do right thing which will give good profit to Napoli.

Kvarat has one year left and his club wants 80 millions? I think no club will have interest to sign him. Napoli is often pricing their player with short term contract with very expensive price. This makes then often suffered the lose due to the depreciation happened to the price of their players.

It's crazy. I'm okay if it was 40 millions or close to it, but 80 millions is fuckin money. They won't able to find a buyer with such price. I don't think even PSG will sign him.

This has been one of the major problem of Napoli regarding their players, they often over price them to the extent that all clubs that initially showed interest will later withdraw their interest because they will feel like the club is not interested in selling that's why they mostly fallout with the player when he started feeling hard done by the club, just as of the case of victor osimhen, and on the case of kvaratskhelia, the best thing he can do for himself is not agreeing to any deal being offered by Napoli, because it's just a trap to tie him down permanently at the club which they certainly wouldn't keep to any  agreement, if they had anyone with him, if he decides on renewing his contract at the club in the first place,  so he should learn from the experience of victor osimhen in other not to go through what victor osimhen is going through now.

And another club in Europe that has such behavior is Tottenham Hotspur, they mostly like to frustrate any of their quality player that decided to make a change, the earlier most of these players start being more watchful when dealing with Napoli and Tottenham Hotspur, the better.

Seeing how Napoli is still pricing their players with non sense price. It's clear they don't open to any of criticism toward their club.

I know stupid Napoli's president is. he's thinking his player is GOAT class player. He will lose a lot of money in the coming yers if they defend their players to stay till the end of their contract. They may fall back again to the financial crisis.

despite all these important and correct points that have been made, PSG still want this player and their negotiations have advanced to the point where it is possible that the player will miss napoli's match against verona. Considering that psg is in very good financial condition, there is a possibility that this contract will be finalized. The amount currently in talks is 70 million.

https://www.calciomercato.com/news/napoli-kvaratskhelia-vicinissimo-al-psg-la-vera-cifra-e-cosa-fil-72632

It seems that this deal has every chance to happen, because PSG very quickly agree to raise the price for this transfer. And yet a few days ago, PSG's first offer was only 40 million for Kvaratskhelia. Today it is already 70 million. True, PSG's financial situation is very good and they can afford it, especially since they were quite active in the summer transfer market. How Conte will react to this move, I think he will want to get another forward to replace Kvaratskhelia.

[punk.zink]

Luis Diaz has rejected a contract extension from Liverpool. He will leave from Anfield soon. This makes me believe the rumor about Liverpool is approaching Kvarat from Napoli is real.

I know Diaz won't be stupid enough to miss golden opportunity to join in Barcelona. It will be very interesting to see how this is going on. I'm doubting Kvarat to leaves Napoli as well.

I wonder what names prepared by Liverpool other than Kvarat.

It's a shame he had to leave Liverpool when his career started to grow with the team. But I'm sure he has a dream to join a more popular team but somehow he had to choose Barcelona.
For Liverpool's plan to recruit Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, I still believe that it will not happen and I have said it before in my previous reply. Because Conte has a big plan with the player to bring Napoli to a higher level.
We can't be sure who will replace Luis Diaz when he leaves Liverpool. But I really hope that Liverpool will not choose the wrong player and get a player who has the same performance as Luis Diaz.

If Trent Alexander Arnold had previously wanted to go to Real Madrid, now Luis Diaz also does not want a contract extension because he wants to go to Barcelona. What is actually wrong with Liverpool's management, so that many players are not comfortable playing with them. If both players leave on a free transfer, it is clearly a huge loss for Liverpool

Luis Diaz also takes risks too much. Doesn't he know that Barcelona still has problems with their finances? and he may not get paid as much as he did at Liverpool, or it could be that Barcelona simply doesn't have the money to register him.

PSG can raise their offer anytime as there was not FFP in french league. *ROFL

They have no party who can sanction them like what happened in other league such as PL and La Liga. It's easy for them to raise their offer to be above 80 millions, but not easy to get Kvarat's acceptance.

I consider Kvarat is still young enough, played in a competitive league, and guaranteed spot in his current squad. The result of the transfer totally depends on Kvarat's acceptance. Money shall not be a problem for PSG.

They don't need to buy Jonathan Tah because registering Olmo and Pau Victor is very difficult, it is better to keep Araujo especially since he is still young. Flick should try to pair Cubarsi and Araujo in the defensive area, Martinez did play very well, but he is old.

It is not only a possible reason for Araujo to leave Barcelona now that Tah is targeted by them, but it could as well be a reason for Barcelona to be willing to get rid of him given that they have constantly had problems with getting their players licensed. I think it is improbable that Barcelona will keep bloating their squad while they know that they are under thorough scrutiny of the authorities in charge for financial issues in the Spanish league. It would be negligent to continue like they did in the past when now it was closer than ever that they almost lost a top player like Olmo. If not now, when are they going to consolidate their finances in every way possible?

I don't know if Tah is a serious target though. If he is, I think it is probably because of Hansi Flick and his experience with or knowledge about him, but is Tah good enough to play for Barcelona? I know that Bayern was after him, which means he can't be bad, but I haven't perceived him as this world class defender that every club should be trying to sign. But who am I to provide exact assessments here 

[bitLeap]

Rashford has been an inconsistent player every season and I can understand that performance and if Amorim doesn't include him in the Man United line-up, it would be much better. Because Man United really needs a productive player and has great consistency to help the team return to its glory days.
And I think this is a fair policy for both parties. Rashford can find the team he wants to develop his skills and Man United can get a new player who is better.
My prediction is that Rashford will prefer to join Milan which will be a new home for the player.

No coach has been as firm as Amorim in dropping Rashford from the squad. If you look at the previous coach, he still included Rashford in the squad despite his poor performance. This is the point of change that Amorim wants to take, that all players must work hard if they want to enter the main squad. For example Harry Maguire who was almost dropped under Erik Ten Hag, but now he continues to fight to get his place back and improve himself to be better. And now Maguire has proven to be a useful defender for Amorim.

It’s official: Abdukodir Khusanov has signed with Manchester City in a €40 million deal. The contract runs until June 2029.  

This transfer could be a major milestone for the club and its fans. It will be fascinating to see how Khusanov fits into the team and what role he’ll play in City’s strategy. I’m optimistic he’ll showcase his best qualities on the pitch and help the team reach new heights. Only time will tell how this move pans out!  
Interestingly, Khusanov will also become the first Uzbek player to feature in the Premier League—a historic moment in its own right.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1877819527171281344

I know with the terrible performance Manchester City has in 2024 they will be looking to strengthen the squad and return back to winning ways. And Pep Guardiola has taken a step to strengthen his squad by signing of young Abdukodir Khusanov. Given the physicality of the young defender and his tactical abilities, I think he will make a perfect fit at Manchester City and will add a little bit of solidity to the defense.

[sokani]

I don’t like the silence treatment Rashford was received from Amorim, as a player, it will affect his market value which will directly affect the outcome of the for the player especially if the team has never won title before now, the team will lose a lot of money because I don’t any team will pay huge amount for him because he is not having playing time, and it seems like they are tired of seeing him in the Manchester United.
However, I am sure he can still perform well in other team if they signed him especially in teams like AC Milan, Juventus, and Dortmund because he will be free and since he is used to hard premier league football, he can achieve a lot in other leagues.

The silent treatment means he's no more needed. If you noticed, whenever Amorim is asked about Rashford, he tries to deflate that he's more interested in the team than focusing on a player. The situation has really gotten bad that an exit this transfer window is very likely.

Rashford has a market value of €55 million euros and this is because his performance has dropped drastically. If it was two seasons ago when he was on fire, it would have been 100 plus. However, whatever United gets will be something judging that he's an academy graduate and costs a penny. I heard there's a bid of £21 million pounds on the table from Arsenal.

You’re definitely right Manchester United are now reluctant to sell him after his fall out with Ruben Amorim, for me he was the cause of all this mess Rashford because he went straight to the media after been dropped for an obvious offense which was clearly his fault, I don’t blame Amorim at all actually looking to get him out and bring in a more disciplined player than him, right now his valuation is somewhat not high because of Manchester United desperation.

Rashford had close to a £100m valuation last two summer with PSG looking for Mbappe replacement then had a $90m offer rejected by Manchester United, this though was prior to his huge contract extension, it is this high wages now that is actually reducing the valuation because clubs can match this fees, Manchester United on the other hand have to actually get him out to get the wage off their books for potential arrivals.

Given the physicality of the young defender and his tactical abilities, I think he will make a perfect fit at Manchester City and will add a little bit of solidity to the defense.

Manchester city continues to experience a decline in league performance and I think this season is the worst season Guardiola has experienced since his coaching career, Khusanov arrival is expected to provide an improvement in manchester city performance in the rest of the season, although the chances to be championship look very unlikely of course ending the season in the current UCL zone has become a target that must be fulfilled by guardiola, although Khusanov is still very young, but he can be a positive addition to city, given his speed, strength, and his tactical abilities that stand have so far and I think he will be able to adapt to Guardiola  game system which often builds up attacks from below so far.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

I consider Kvarat is still young enough, played in a competitive league, and guaranteed spot in his current squad. The result of the transfer totally depends on Kvarat's acceptance. Money shall not be a problem for PSG.

I agree with you. If Kravat agrees, this transfer will happen. But I read in the press that Liverpool are also interested in Kravat. I think Liverpool would be a better choice for his career. But at Paris Saint Germain he can produce better stats in a more comfortable league. He's only 23 years old. We can say he is at the beginning of his career. Napoli are title contenders in the Italian Serie A, Liverpool in the English Premier League, Paris Saint Germain in the French Ligue 1. He has the chance to win titles in all three competitions.

There are many clubs that want to sign Rashford. He is not getting much playing time at Manchester United and his form may decline because of this. Teams that want Rashford may ask for a price reduction using this as an excuse. If Manchester United are not going to play Rashford, they can clearly tell him to go to another team. This is the right thing to do for a player who has been playing for the team for years.

I think Rashford will contribute more to a new team because Rashford is a quality player and it will be easier for him to show this quality in a new team. It may be better for him to go to a team where he can always play in the first 11.

Pep Guardiola is just like Real Madrid because any player he signs or chooses to bring to Manchester City even if the player is unheard of you can trust in the quality of the player and expect top performance from them. No doubts again with Abdukodir Khusanov, I am confident that he will fit in.

I heard there's a bid of £21 million pounds on the table from Arsenal.

Is Arsenal running a rehabilitation center because I am surprised why they have made it a culture for them to always want to pick up on the players that other clubs in the Premier League no longer want. Why Rashford? there are many other players that can solve the problems that Arsenal are having, Arteta should not consider Rashford. He can make Arsenal worse because of how sluggish he plays sometimes. Arsenal should look for other options.

Every coach has his own way of getting rid of players he doesn't like, just like what Amorim did to Rashford, or how Erik Ten Hag got rid of Jadon Sancho back then, or like Victor Osimhen, who had to be willing to go to Turkey so he could continue playing football as Napoli no longer needed him..

But I agree with you, by leaving Rashford out of the squad Amorim risks lowering the player's value because Rashford no longer has time to show his skills and it could also create a negative impression.

[Jody.Drummer]

Napoli are title contenders in the Italian Serie A, Liverpool in the English Premier League, Paris Saint Germain in the French Ligue 1. He has the chance to win titles in all three competitions.

I would like to see him in a more competitive league, because it would be much more valuable. But the problem is when he joins Liverpool, then he has to compete with other players to get enough playing minutes. And maybe if he joins Paris Saint Germain, I think he already has a guarantee that he will get a main place, at least his chances are bigger. But I think joining Paris Saint Germain will be less challenging, because this is also a good opportunity for him to decide which club to join. But for me personally, the level of competition is something that must be considered for a young player like him.

[Pokapoka124]

Liverpool would definitely benefit from Osimhen more than any other team, that could actually make them be better than everyone else. I mean if United gets Osimhen, or Chelsea, or even PSG, none of them would win something they wouldn't without Osimhen, adding him wouldn't make them win anything. But with Osimhen, Liverpool would basically guarantee the league title, and also they may have a good chance winning UCL as well.

Right now they are playing with Nunez on striker whenever they put him in the game, and that dude is one of the worst strikers I have seen, in fact, so much so that I wouldn't start Nunez on Galatasaray where Osimhen plays, dude is that bad, and Liverpool is only doing great because they have offensive talent like Salah who is there to score. If they could replace Nunez with Osimhen? That would be dream come true and it would not be all that easy at all, it would actually end up being very different and could result with much different score.

Victor Osimhen is a top striker. Saying Manchester United, Chelsea or Paris saint Germain would achieve anything great with Osimhen is all mere talks and saying Liverpool would be the club they will benefit from Osimhen is inaccurate. I think with all this technical qualities of Victor Osimhen, he can contribute effectively to the growth and success of either Manchester United, Chelsea, or Paris saint Germain if he decides to go to any of the club.
