⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

The latest news said Napoli is keen in acquiring Hojlund from Manchester United. If Amorim has some sense, he will agree with such offer. The problem is that the loss can't be avoided by Manchester United's side.

It makes sense consider Hojlund has dropped so hard than his form when he still at Atalanta. They have to sell him asap though Napoli is only willing to pay fraction of Hojlund's bought price by Manchester United.

I assume Napoli may be putting 50% from 72m as their threshold to sign Hojlund from Manchester United.

Ever since I heard this news I said this will be a great opportunity for Manchester United to acquire Victor Osimhen even if it means taking a financial loss. I think Højlund is an average player and cannot be compared to Osimhen. Amorim’s goal should be bringing a proven goal scorer like Osimhen to United now before other Premier League clubs sign him.

I think Højlund is an average player and cannot be compared to Osimhen. Amorim’s goal should be bringing a proven goal scorer like Osimhen to United now before other Premier League clubs sign him.

Ruben Amorim is one man trying so hard to bring back the deadly Manchester United we all know before, because the current one are mainly classified average team. They're incompetent, they don't have the guts to match strength with their mates in the English Premier League. I don't think Rasmus Højlund is mediocre, I know for a fact he is an average player coming up to limelight. The one challenging friction with the player in question is about his inconsistency in matches. He will banged a brace today and not be eligible to even record an assist or a goal next season.

Victor Osimhen is playing for Galatasaray, he's suited with a main role in the frontline. He will fit into the system of the Red Devils if he agrees to move to join them at the end of the season. He's one confident striker that needs to he recruited by the club, however pulling this deal will be a tough one.

United is not doing well financially and that's the reason they're cutting jobs and maybe why they want to get rid of Rashford and Casemiro in the summer because of their heavy wages. So I understand completely why they don't want to spend heavily on experienced players because it's going to cost them more money. Also, I don't think it's such a bad idea because they've other experienced players in the team, so it's going to be a touch of experience and young talents.

The thing is that ten Hag got very good funding in the summer in the off-season and now I think that Amorim has a condition that in order to form a new team, he must first sell those players that he does not intend to use in the team, so Manchester United has already let some players go and wants to sell some more. In addition, they have had massive layoffs, from 150 to 200 jobs have been cut in the team, this is all done to increase the financial stability of the club, it is obvious that the money spent on transfers has affected the team very negatively.

Cutting of expenses is healthy for the team especially the way the team hasn't been progressing lately but why cut of meal for the staffs? Has Manchester United got to that level that they aren't going to allow the staff have access to what they were entitled as they work and one board person is saying they can save $1m a year for that drastic decision, if they have been winning trophy all this while, would they have done that in the first place, this decisions are hard.

They should focus on building the team and most importantly the players that aren't doing well the past season, I can mention many players in Manchester United that need to be sold but the Ten Hag has let them hang around for years in the team, they should have been in another place but because of his misplace priority, they are still in that club. I saw a headline about Ten Hag of not going back to football manager role again and I just laugh, took him long before he realized.

During Madrid have many top players looks difficukt for Arda Guler get regular position and get small minutes playing in last five games of Real Madrid. But its not classic problem in football during any teams have many top player make difficult for young player to be regular before any main player get injury.
I think not only with Arda Guler but also another young player Endrick get difficukt removing Kylian Mbappe position, he must play from the bench and have few minutes only for playing every match. Just waiting the right moment onky before Arda Guler become regular player if keep patience waiting for without moving to the other team.

As long as Vini, Rodrygo, and Mbappe are still around, they will have difficulty getting playing time. Because, we also know that Ancelotti is a typical coach who does not want to take risks in important matches, that's why Arda and Hendrick have difficulty getting playing time. Just look at when Real Madrid experienced a deadlock, Ancelotti did not include the two players. Moreover, currently in La Liga, Real Madrid's position is still below Barcelona, ​​​​of course Ancelotti considers all matches as finals.

In the Champions League it's the same, Real Madrid gets tough opponents as well as in the Copa Del Rey. So indeed the opportunity to get playing time for these two young Real Madrid players is quite difficult. That's the reality, so I think they have to wait. Because. After this season, Ancelotti and several players will leave, and that's why Arda and Endrick will get a lot of playing time. So I hope these two players don't leave or are loaned to other clubs because they are still young and they are the future of Real Madrid. They just need a process and wait for their time to come.

I think both Endrick and Arda Güler should leave the team on loan. Because they don't get any chances at Real Madrid. Even when Real Madrid is about to win a match very easily, Ancelotti doesn't want to put them in the game. I don't understand what he wants to do. In a match where Real Madrid is leading by 4 goals, these young players should come on as substitutes and get some playing time. However, Ancelotti doesn't do this and he also wants reporters not to ask questions about this. I think the manager has a negative attitude towards young players. There is no other explanation for this.

Endrick and Guler only need to be patient in Real Madrid right now because there are so many significant players there. And they can't keep Bellingham and Mbappe as substitutes so they can play. Everyone knows Guler is a major player, and whenever he appears in the orchestra, he generally demonstrates his talent, and the spectators enjoy him. And Ancelotti understands the type of gsnes he can put them in, because some games they may not be able to perform well in. And Ancelotti understands that he will keep them on the bench and they will receive minutes to play but not all games, because if they are not patient, they will not enjoy Madrid and am sure that one day Guler will definitely turn madrid first eleven, because is doing well anytime he comes to pitch. Am sure that Guler will not like to leave realmadrid because is enjoying in the team and he will won many trophies with the club very soon. With how the competition is tough currently he will be very hard for others young player of Madrid will get time to play in the pitch.

Investing in Hojlund is a big risk in my opinion. He is a player who has not been able to perform as expected at Manchester United. He may be young but I don't know if he is ready to play at a high level right now. Also, Napoli may not be willing to pay him a very high transfer fee. Lukaku can carry them until the end of this year. I think you made a good suggestion for next year, Retegui could be a good choice.

Instead of trying to bring in new players, why don't they try to utilize the player who is still theirs who is currently playing for Galatasaray? Is the problem between them that big that they don't want to take him back?
Sometimes I just find it strange, regardless of whether the coach is not suitable or what, but what is clear is that they actually have the option to return him.
Well now most people do have the same thoughts about the Manchester United player. But indeed all their decisions are decisive.

Rasmus Højlund is just 22 years old with good potential this is big advantage while player who is serving his tenure at Galatasaray on loan is having no interest to play for Napoli anymore with this most chances both clubs will be agreed about any possible exchange which could be suitable for them.

Victor Osimhen is big star but sadly his relationship with Napoli management is not good which are big problem as they reduced his asking price have extension this clearly suitable for having Rasmus Højlund in Napoli for next season he is also struggling at the Old Trafford which making things suitable for doing this. Usually players not doing good at Manchester United while they are having good performance in other clubs maybe this also happen to these youngsters, and he will be able to do much better at Napoli which give both good future.

Bruno is definitely a good player, there is no doubt about that, but at the same time we are talking about someone who is from Portugal, just like Amorim, so one would wonder if that has anything to do with it. And when it comes to Hojlund, as far as I know, Juventus never had a concrete official deal for him, so United didn't rejected a deal yet, Juventus considers getting Hojlund in case if Vlahovic leaves and he hasn't left yet so there is no deal.

If this summer Vlahovic leaves then we will see Juventus may make an official offer, in which case if United rejects then we could say that's a big mistake. A deal worth about 35-40 million would not be a bad deal and they should be considering that as a normal one.

If I agree with that debate, do some Man United fans also agree with selling Onana?

Initially last season I still believed Onana could perform more brilliantly like when he was with Inter. But it turned out I was just hoping too much. In fact at Man United, Onana was unable to give a brilliant performance and he seemed to not have good reflexes as a goalkeeper. On the one hand Man United needs a goalkeeper who has quality abilities.

And the question, is it possible that Amorim has an interest in bringing back De Gea? 

[baeva]

I don't understand why Manchester United would prioritize signing a relatively young talent instead of focusing on bringing experienced players who can add significant depth and quality to the team. Given the club's current struggles, their priorities should be on acquiring established players who can make an immediate impact and help restore their competitive edge.

United is not doing well financially and that's the reason they're cutting jobs and maybe why they want to get rid of Rashford and Casemiro in the summer because of their heavy wages. So I understand completely why they don't want to spend heavily on experienced players because it's going to cost them more money. Also, I don't think it's such a bad idea because they've other experienced players in the team, so it's going to be a touch of experience and young talents.

Despite being experienced players they bring little value to the club and every year they become a liability because it would be cheaper to buy a young player who will play much better and longer than them, and most likely his wages will be lower. It's just more profitable for the club. Moreover, it's a chance to normalise the situation at the club, both financially and in general regarding the standings

And the question, is it possible that Amorim has an interest in bringing back De Gea? 

Manchester United did not know the value of something till they lost it. David De Gea was one of the very best goal keeper in the English Premier League, he had good stats in keeping cleansheets for himself and Manchester United. Today he's dismissed after his request for salary increase, the Red Devils signed the Cameroon international, Andre Onana from Inter Milan with high hope for backup after the exit of the spaniard.

Andre Onana have flop in several games for Manchester United this season. His time is up? No because he's human and we human are capable of many things especially when it involves a player on the pitch. Mistakes are inevitable for these players, they fight for their spot, some recover and bounce back while others struggle for longterm. Onana knows the position he found himself,  a very tight compromising corner, he will improve but he's this kind of player that lack consistency in his stats, keeping cleansheet today and tomorrow, he concedes goals.

...

Amorim has certainly contributed to Bruno Fernandes' performances, but Bruno Fernandes has finished every season since he joined Manchester United with double digits in goals and assists. He is Manchester United's most consistent footballer. This season he already has 10 goals and 12 assists. He doesn't seem to be directly related to Amorim, but I think Amorim has contributed to him...

If this summer Vlahovic leaves then we will see Juventus may make an official offer, in which case if United rejects then we could say that's a big mistake. A deal worth about 35-40 million would not be a bad deal and they should be considering that as a normal one.

Still, before that they should also try to select and remove some unnecessary players from their current squad.

Ten Hag's decision to bring in some pretty expensive players in the last couple of seasons has ultimately impacted on all the things that have kept the performance up but made their financial situation a little worse.

In addition, bringing Dusan to Old Trafford is good enough but on the other hand they also inevitably have to find the best options for Hojlund and Zirkzee who until now did not even get any momentum at United. If there is going to be a reshuffle then they will have to start offloading some of the players including the new players they bring in even though this might make them feel the loss because in the end the sales made do not really match the previous purchases.

There is no other explanation for this.

Don't get any chance? Although Endrick and Arda Güler are often on the bench, they have played few times in Real Madrid. Even today in semi-final Copa Del Rey, both of them are playing as starters. So, I don't think they need to leave the team because they still get enough time to play. I also don't think that Ancelotti will put Endrick on loan list because Real Madrid only have 2 strikers. But for Arda Guller, it is possible to move as a loan player because Real Madrid has some midfielders and wingers. However, it depends on Arda Guller whether he wants to keep growing with Real Madrid or trying to play with another team for a more time to play.

And the question, is it possible that Amorim has an interest in bringing back De Gea? 

I knew about Andre Onana's brilliance as a world class goalkeeper when he was still an Ajax goalkeeper before moving to Inter Milan where he also had an excellent spell before his move to Manchester United last two years. I understand that a lot of us things that he's underperforming but when you take a good look at the statistics, you'll find out that he's not as poor as many of you think of him. Manchester United problem at the moment isn't about the Cameroonian goalkeeper if you ask me. The club management should reinforce the team in the summer by signing quality players that can protect the goalkeeper so Onana can actually live up to expectations.

Galatasaray wants to report Jose Mourinho to FIFA for alleged racist statements and Gala are also reportedly filing a criminal complaint against Mourinho for racist remarks about the Turkish people. In a press conference, Mourinho said the Galatasaray bench were ‘jumping around like monkeys’. I don’t know how this was interpreted as racial slur, maybe I’m missing the backstory here but I strongly believe Mourinho is not racist. If he was, it would have come out all those years he was signing and managing African players in Chelsea.

I also think this accusation is nonsensical. Mourinho has always been a coach who supported African players. In all the teams he has worked for, he has always given space to African players, even at times when many teams did not give space to African players. That is why I think it is very exaggerated to accuse him of racism.

From what I understand, Mourinho praised the good performance of the foreign referee in the Fenerbahce vs. Galatasaray game. He once again criticized the Turkish referees and when he talked about jumping and monkeys, I think it was an expression that is often used in Portuguese when someone likes to jump a lot and it was never an offensive expression. The truth is that Turkish referees are controversial.

Dont know what is waiting for Giovany Quend, but after watching what happened with Antony during his stay in Red Devils and what is happening with him after he has left Old Trafford, no player should actually long for going to the Manchester United club. Because this is a club where they are taking a lot of bad decisions and a lot of players seem to be facing the distraction of their own careers after going to this club. You know he's only 17 years old. So he needs a club which will make him a better player.  Not put extra pressure on him at this age, right? The performance and also the environment at Old Trafford are really not good right now. At least not for any youngster.

I can’t blame any player who dreads a move to Manchester United for the sake that their career may have a bad twist later on, especially after  seeing a couple of good players experiencing a bad twist from good to poor in recent years. Things might probably be different later in the future but at this time it seems as the current state of the club affects the players in general.

Usually players not doing good at Manchester United while they are having good performance in other clubs maybe this also happen to these youngsters, and he will be able to do much better at Napoli which give both good future.

Victor Osimhen will never play again with Napoli, he will move to another team. Sure, Rasmus Højlund can be a good option for Napoli if he wants a young and talented striker. I don't think Rasmus Højlund is a bad player, he just can't perform well in Man United. He is probably not comfortable with Man United tactics, or there is a too big pressure there. Rasmus Højlund also doesn't get regular position, he sometimes sits on the bench. If Napoli wants to guarantee the main position as a striker there, it is good to accept Napoli's offer.

He is Manchester United's most consistent footballer. This season he already has 10 goals and 12 assists. He doesn't seem to be directly related to Amorim, but I think Amorim has contributed to him...

Exactly this season, Bruno Fernandez's performance is indeed quite acceptable to Amorim. And his performance is getting better. Several times he has been able to save and play an important role for Manchester United. Who knows, if Manchester United sell him, the club might not be okay, even though the club is actually not okay.

It is undeniable that the competition at Real Madrid is quite tough, especially in the front line. However, currently, Endrick is a young asset for Real Madrid. Indeed, his flying hours are not much, but his contribution every time he is given the opportunity is quite high.
He is only 18 years old, and his era is still very long. He can be a very valuable set for the future of Real Madrid.

Anceloti also said about Endrick, a spectacular young player who is able to learn quite quickly, a young CF player who is currently worth € 40.00m.

"He is spectacular," Ancelotti told a press conference.
"He has these amazing characteristics he has shown whenever he has a chance. His accuracy is off the charts, he's quick and he still has a lot to improve with the ball.
"But, wow, his dribbling, his runs... the shot he has... he could even score a second goal easily with that great strike off the post... He is just spectacular. Very young, but a very fast learner."

Losing Messi is a huge loss for Barcelona, Apart from the star leaving for free, the mentality of the other players was also slightly shaken by the loss of a very important figure in the club. On the other hand, Barcelona had to let Messi go to save the club from the financial crisis, now the club's finances are starting to improve and have returned to the 1 to 1 rule.
There is no doubt that La Masia is one of the best academies in the world, now some young players are starting to show their talent and some of them have become regular players, their presence is very beneficial for Barcelona in the long term.

The idea of grooming young talents from youth to senior players has proved to be beneficial to many clubs especially when they seek to make huge gain from player sales. This strategy has benefited Barcelona in this time of financial crisis when they face financial restrictions in regards to player signings, the likes of Inaki Pena, Lamin Yamal, Aleix Garrido, Alejandro Balde, etc have all been crucial to the team’s progress.

Bruno is definitely a good player, there is no doubt about that, but at the same time we are talking about someone who is from Portugal, just like Amorim, so one would wonder if that has anything to do with it. And when it comes to Hojlund, as far as I know, Juventus never had a concrete official deal for him, so United didn't rejected a deal yet, Juventus considers getting Hojlund in case if Vlahovic leaves and he hasn't left yet so there is no deal.

If this summer Vlahovic leaves then we will see Juventus may make an official offer, in which case if United rejects then we could say that's a big mistake. A deal worth about 35-40 million would not be a bad deal and they should be considering that as a normal one.

That is good point about Bruno nationality maybe being part of conversation. But we should also recognize that he is good player who has made important contributions. About Hojlund it is true that Juventus never had real offer ready so Manchester United did not actually turn down formal offer. The situation depends on whether Vlahovic leaves Juventus which could lead to Juventus trying to sign Hojlund. If that happens deal worth 35-40 million could be something United should think about. It will be interesting to see what happens with this situation in summer.

There is still one season for Vlahovic with Juventus and if there is no interest from other teams and also Vlahovic agreement to leave Juventus before the contract expires then it is clear that Juventus may still consider efforts to bring in more players even though they currently really need additional players to strengthen the front line to be sharper.
Hojlund himself is also not great player for Manchester United, he is striker but does not really play well in helping the Manchester United squad in scoring goal or contributing assist, there are several rumors that Amorim does not want Hojlund anymore, if it is true that Juventus brings in Hojlund, who knows whether it can have good impact or Hojlund game is just the same as when he was with Manchester United.
