⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

from Fabregas to Chivu.
Inter chosen their new coach.

They asked to Fabregas yesterday but he refused 2 times.
After that they went to Chivu, ex player of Inter and at this point, ex coach of Parma and he said yes.

Tomorrow it will be official.

Big move and big risk the line is slim.

When they opted for Fabregas I knew it was not going to happen because earlier before the end of the season Fabregas made it clear that he has no intentions leaving Como now, he said he still wants to develop before going to a bigger club which is a good thing in my opinion. just the way Xabi Alonso did, staying another year at Como will  another year of experience for him.
I am not so sure about Chivu but Fabregas would have the best candidate for the job.

Cesc Fabregas is wise because he knew that he is still developing as a coach and doesn't need a stressful job that will make him look inexperienced and he becomes a mockery by the club that is why he is taking his time to improve more as a coach before accepting any bigger job. He even has more upper hand at Como where nobody will disturb him even if the club doesn't perform well, so he should just take his time, no need for a rush.
Is it that Inter Milan doesn't have any good option for a coach, or they don't have the money to hire an experienced coach or what, Chivu cannot handle a team like Inter Milan, Cesc Fabregas is even a better option to Chivu. Inter Milan need to calm down and choose a coach before they will make a regrettable mistake.

De Bruyne is getting closer to signing for Napoli day by day...

Honestly I'm quite surprised to see him staying in Europe.    Because I thought he would choose money and sign for a Saudi team in his last years of his career. Or for an MLS team maybe. But he decided to stay in Europe. Conte would make use of him for sure. I don't expect him to go back to his prime though. The only player who is able to do it must be Salah these days. But the KDB quality would still be useful for Napoli in another title run undoubtedly.

With his current quality and form, he can have an excellent season in Serie A especially at Napoli.Lukaku would be over the moon if Kevin joins this summer.And as you said, Conte will definitely know how to use him, plus he can combine him with the brilliant McTominay, who was the MVP of the league.All in all, if Napoli manages to sign Kevin, it would be an outstanding move.

Considering all the rumours there will be no problems in making the deal, besides it has been prepared for a very long time, which only confirms the ease of signing it. Kevin has finally played at a very good level this season, and I think the reason for that is that he hasn't been plagued by injuries like before. In terms of injuries he is generally a fragile player and it has been an inconvenience throughout his career, but now it seems to be ok

[kawetsriyanto]

Last season, I also thought that KDB would most likely choose the SPL this season. Previously, there were rumors that he really wanted to play with Ronaldo and might join Al Nassr.

KDB may expected to play with Ronaldo last season but Guardiola asked him to stay. KDB showed his loyalty to Man City that he forgot his dream to play in SPL with Ronaldo. Now, we don't hear this issue anymore, I think Al Nassr has targeted another player. But I won't be surprised if KDB will be suddenly reported joining SPL in the next few days/weeks. As long as KDB doesn't sign a contract with any team, he is still possible to join SPL.

In my opinion, Napoli took a risk by bringing in KDB. He is prone to injury, and his productivity has decreased. If he is still productive, I think Man City will keep him.

Why it is risky to sign KDB? Even if he sometimes gets injured, he still can perform quite well. I think it is untrue that KDB has decreased his quality very much. He only couldn't play as often as in the past, so he can't be as productive as in the past season. If he can play regularly again, I am sure he can be productive anymore.

[Amphenomenon]

I'm not really happy about the move, I wanted a more experienced and proven striker like Osimhen, who will make Jackson see reasons to put more efforts and make him spend time on the bench but now he might even be better because we don't know how well Delap can handle the pressure playing for a big team, thank God we got him for a fee that won't put much pressure on him.

Now we need to get wingers that can shoot, the work of scoring shouldn't just be on the strikers, the wingers needs to step up, better wingers like Rodrygo will help us as we play again in the Champions League.

I don't know why you people rate all this club like Osimhen is going to do something spectacular in all this European clubs. It's obvious they don't want to give him better pay and yet we want to force him down their throat. I respect his position for not lowering his standards for any club that doesn't want to pay him, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and the rest can rest so they don't make us feel like they are doing better job to get him.

The fact is Osimhen has proven why he deserves an high pay, he is good and if EPL don't want to take advantage of this now and give him a good wage notably Chelsea, we might having this pain or regret from it especially when other European teams might show interest with time and match his wage demand.

I think Osimhen might not be even successful in most of these clubs we are convincing him to go. Look around Haaland and Osimhen style of performance since the beginning of their season to where they peak playing number, they are strikers that rose to the to having good support of understanding midfield and they don't do it until the coach makes them play that way, there is no any assurance that all these club will even give him that style, he might go there and not succeed.

I think Osimhen is different from Haaland and not entirely dependent on the midfielders. I love him from the fact that he try all his best  to ensure almost chances are utilize well and he do fight for the ball, I have to acknowledge his contribution in the Nigeria national team, where  we lack top midfield but in every game who see how well contribute for us to get goals and win the game. Also, having one to create chances for him will make things easier and I believe he will utilize it well enough often times.

I agree with you but the problem is which club is ready to go for him no matter the wage? Chelsea who have been running around trying to get him now have Delap who did very well in this concluded season and I still have that believe that he can continue with that form and even improve, only if that jersey number isn't infected by bad luck.
Sometimes I ask myself why hasn't any club from the German side come for Victor Osimhen, they can afford him even with his wage but if the player wants to help himself in as much as he deserve the high pay and he knows that's what is chasing clubs from coming to sign him, I think he better do something about his wage.

This situation is easy to understand, if there is an elite club to sign him especially those playing in the Champions League then he will take the offer but if not then maybe he moves to Saudi pro League, the good thing is that KDB still has many options. I wonder if KDB can play optimally with his new club because sometimes he needs to adapt, besides that the competition in Serie A is not tighter than the EPL so KDB should have a chance to find his best game. Napoli are planning to contract him for 2 seasons right?

Hmm, the number nine curse but I think it can be broken Tammy Abraham got quite a good goal record with Chelsea.

This is the ironic fact currently most big teams outside EPL are having a good nine, they are not really in a hunt for a striker but when they do, I know the wage won't be a problem and Chelsea will see the class of player they missed, this won't be only Chelsea rather the entire EPL team in need of a striker.

Oshimen is a proven striker, so I think he has what it takes to succeed at any club across European, including the English premier league. He might not be a game changer to a club like Chelsea or Manchester united, but he will certainly continue with his scoring records. I support your idea on Oshimen refusing to lower his wage just to satisfy the desires of certain clubs. Are players like Sancho, Havertz and so many others better than him?, I don't think so, then why choose to offer him less than £250K?. In my opinion, he deserves such an amount as a well proven striker.

Few hours ago, I heard his deal with Al Hilal is no longer concrete, and Galatasaray are still very much interested in keeping him. He should do what he thinks its best for himself.

If he plays very well in Napoli this year, Manchester City will regret sending him. I think they probably sent him off considering his injuries. If he doesn't get injured and shows great performances in the Champions League with Napoli, then I'm curious to see how Pep Guardiola will react. The Belgian star is still very good for football. If he doesn't get injured, there are very few defenses that can stop him. He's a player who played at the top of the Premier League for many years. He would be a great asset for Napoli.

Even if he is very good and has good instincts but of course we cannot immediately conclude before he is actually there because in the end the EPL is clearly a little different where the tension here is much stronger and the pressure is much greater so that when there is no good adaptation of a player then it can be destroyed when in the EPL.

We know that he is a great player but the EPL competition is a little difficult when compared to Serie A and the Turkish League so I don't really agree if you immediately say he succeeded in the EPL before trying it even some Serie A players have felt their EPL not a few who experienced problems and decreased performance.

On the other hand, the club he will go to must also really match the same criteria and vision in order to build chemistry in this case because after all even though Osimhen is now good but there is no guarantee he can succeed anywhere even though the possibility remains.

I never ever expected Manchester United still can pull even without UCL, and good prospect in the future. 

That's amazing how Gyokeres told he'd like to join in Mutd instead of Arsenal, which has been strongly linked to him. It seems MU is more attractive than Arsenal, though they often played badly and missed UCL.

He seems aware if joining in Arsenal won't step up his career, and prefer to join in Mutd.

Never expect them to still managed to get Gyokere's interest.

In my opinion, Kevin De Bruyne is still quite worthy in Europe even though he is 33 years old, he still has at least 2-3 years left before deciding to leave Europe, Napoli is quite lucky to get this player as a free agent and maybe if Saudi wants this player again, Napoli will benefit if Kevin De Bruyne has signed a contract for the next few years.

I am sure he will succeed in Napoli because the level of competition in the EPL and Serie A is different, moreover Kevin De Bruyne can still feel playing in the UCL for next season and could meet his former club Man City there.

I couldn't even understand Manchester City sending him.

Never expect them to still managed to get Gyokere's interest. 

The source seems to come from Ben Jacobs, who has been banned by the BBC and is classified as a tier 5 source by the Reddit fanbase. It doesn't sound reliable. Other articles (or the source itself, if I'm not wrong[1]) also told us a different narrative, mainly saying that Gyokeres is an option for MUFC though they've yet to establish any contact with the club or the player. I don't think we should jump to conclusions if that's the only source that boldly said what Gyokeres wants next season. CMIIW.

He seems aware if joining in Arsenal won't step up his career, and prefer to join in Mutd.

If he really goes to Man U instead of Arsenal, I think that'd be one of his biggest mistakes, considering what has happened recently to most of the attacking players who ended up at Man United!
^{- Having said that, I don't blame him for wanting to reunite with his former coach (Ruben Amorim).}

A bit of a surprise news:
Fabrizio mentioned roughly 10 hours ago that Arsenal has started the initial talks with Chelsea to sign Kepa as a backup goalkeeper ^[source].
^{- I get it that Raya needs some competition and Kepa is still a good goalkeeper [and cheap], but he had a history of having attitude problems in the past, so he'd probably cause problems on and off the pitch (another bad signing from Chelsea if it happens)!}

Hmm, the number nine curse but I think it can be broken Tammy Abraham got quite a good goal record with Chelsea.

He scored so many goals but I'm not really sure if it was with the same number 9 jersey, wore it then later changed it before heading to Roma I think on loan before he finally left then Lukaku came knocking like things would be different for him with that same number but he never stay too long before he also left, everyone wanted to see him show all what he did at Inter but no sign of that hungry attacker they saw at Inter. I hope Delap can change everything concerning the number 9 jersey.

This is the ironic fact currently most big teams outside EPL are having a good nine, they are not really in a hunt for a striker but when they do, I know the wage won't be a problem and Chelsea will see the class of player they missed, this won't be only Chelsea rather the entire EPL team in need of a striker.

Chelsea has been the club striving to get Osimhen and I never expected them to give us a U-turn for Delap. From the way things are going I feel some clubs will definitely get a striker while some will try to play like Pep to end the coming season without a proper number 9 especially the Gunners who almost seems like they prefer using every player to experiment the number 9 position, how did it end for them this season? The same way, 2nd.

The Premier League is very competitive. So it will not be too difficult for De Bruyne to adapt to Serie A. De Bruyne will be able to perform well in the Napoli jersey. And this will be a smart move for De Bruyne. De Bruyne has the potential to win the title with Napoli. However, if De Bruyne does not want to take pressure, wants to relax, and wants to earn a big amount of money in 2-1 years, then he can go to any of the Saudi leagues. However, at the age of only 33, a talented and experienced player like De Bruyne should not go to the Saudi league.

But it seems, we need to wait what De Bruyne decision as he still not give a statement where will he move. Until that time, we can only guess that he may move to some club such as PSG, Arsenal, Napoli, and Bayern Munchen. Local media said that Kevin may move to Napoli so we can wait and see that will happen soon. 2-3 years left is enough for De Bruyne to play at Napoli as he want a new challenge.

I think there was no agreement between him and Guardiola, and i believe there was some kind of burnout in the team, that some changes needed to happen. I don't like that good players are going there, because unfortunately, only money plays a role there. I have nothing against the league, but i like seeing quality players in Europe. As for Kevin, i can’t wait for him to come to Napoli.

[Rruchi man]

Kevin De Bruyne is a great player and can do a lot in Napoli. I think he will adapt to the Italian league immediately.

Kevin is not leaving Manchester City because he's old and can no longer perform as a footballer or play his role perfectly; he is leaving to have and face a new challenge and the Italian league perfectly offers that. I also believe in his abilities, that he will perform well and help Napoli with another title.

I also think it is too early to go to Saudi Arabia because he is a successful player.

Not all players think this way, because there are players who have left for the Saudi professional league who are even younger than Kevin. It is not about age; it is about ambition. Some players have more ambition than others do.
