⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Stablexcoin]

Nunez must leave because he didnt do anything in his time at Liverpool. I think that Liverpool need a classic striker and really soon or maybe even two strikers to get for their roster. Salah does everything on the wing plus with Wirtz he might even do better then last season

Let's not judge the player from that angle, through his season at Liverpool Nunez gave the best he can, we know that players are not always dependent on every season, during 2023/2024 season Nunez scored 18 goals, 2024/2025 he made only 7 goals in all competitions, the performance from last season was really poor but aside that in his little way contributed to Liverpool title victory and should not be left out from the victory chant.

Despite all what you said about these two players, I don’t think Monaco made a mistakes signing any of these players even though they all have not been in form or they are almost out of their games in the past two seasons.

Ansu Fati is a good player, he was playing really well before Injury starts to stop his form, and he couldn’t get back his form due to how he do get injured, the team decides to get some players to replace him and now that he is fit, the team can’t rely on him that is why they let him go on loan; I am very sure they will sell him to Monaco but it will not be fair if they did that once.

On Barcelona side it is the best option because this agreement will reduce the salary burden, as we know Ansu Fati salary is around 200k-250k per week imagine Barcelona having to spend money every week on this player without any contribution to the team. The agreement details that both teams will share 50% of the salary burden and in the following season Monaco had to pay his salary in full + transfer fee well, this transfer fee is our question, will Monaco pay based on current market value (5 Million) or higher? if Monaco has to pay more than 5 million then it can be called gamble.

We are not underestimating Ansu Fati, as a young player he still has a chance therefore he had to move to another club and get the chance to play as a starter. Do you remember Ansu Fati highest market value was around 80 Million? I hope he can reach that point again.

Obviously he can only get to that figure by playing and not sitting on the bench, I'm surprised his value was even that, it's way overpriced for him. However, he can still prove otherwise, but also a price of over 5 million if he can prove otherwise is perfectly acceptable if he's actually going to be useful. You could say he's being given a second chance with this loan

A done deal for the 31 year old former Brentford player. Arsenal has quickly find a replacement for Thomas Partey who failed to sign a new contract due to the disagreement between his agent and Arsenal to strike a €200,000 per week salary.

Agreement done between Brentford and Arsenal. A  €11m proposal sent today, personal terms also agreed with Nørgaard set for medical, Brentford have authorized the player to travel.

For the problem of experience and defensive level, Norgaard could be an option but with his current age I think this is a bit of a gamble for Arsenal if they force him to replace Jorginho and Partey in midfield.

Norgaard was one of the most consistent players for Brentford, their captain for that matter. He played in most of their games last season and was even their captain. Brentford played very quick counterattack football last season, and he was at the center of it. I think it is a good buy for Arsenal considering what he can bring to the team. In terms of goals, he is a goal scorer as well, and his height favors Arsenal's set-piece prowess.

Goodbye, now let us see the attackers we get.

Since Mo Salah scores a lot of goals, even though he is not a striker, the club might not go all out to get a top striker for a lot of money, that is just my feelings right now, but we'll how things pan out.

Mo Salah has to be the go to man always and not the club bringing in someone that'll start having a competition with him. Salah is just like Messi when he was still playing at Barcelona, Liverpool can go for a good strikers to complement Salah but not one that'll be so selfish and want to take the whole spotlight from Mo Salah. Liverpool needs to recreate that magical trio that they once had with Mane, Salah and Firmino. With that force being ignited back with Mo Salah leading, more goals and assists can be gotten from him before he gets to leave the club/retire.

He should not be left out,but he performed below avg. They won the title and thats why no one is saying anything wrong,but he hasnt done anything big for their title win. He missed so many clear goal chances and on that level you cannot do that. I just think he isnt the striker for Liverpool,maybe he would be better somewhere else.

Goodbye, now let us see the attackers we get.

In all honesty I don’t still see the need for this deal, Noorgard is 31 years of age, Thomas partey is 32 years of age, so I was thinking even if they are going to let Partey leave it should be for someone much younger like five years less and not the one in like same age bracket. Partey by far is still an all round better player than Norgaard, the only thing that will be an excuse for this deal will be Partey requested outrageous wages or maybe Arsenal are just concerned about his fitness if not this player isn’t much of a change in my opinion.

I don’t see him starting games for Arsenal because they already have the midfield packed in my opinion, the likes of Zubimendi, Mikel Merin, Declan Rice and Odegaard are going to be ahead of him in picking order, so he isn’t a regular starter and not a marquee signing for Arsenal

After Fati extends his contract in Barcelona. He leaves as a loan to the Monaco with the option to buy him.
It's hard to call this as a good move for Monaco, but this pure gamble by them. They signed Pogba, which has been absent for years, then Fati, an injury prone player. These signings are bad, but Pogba still acceptable rather than Fati.

Don't they aware how garbage fati is? He's also very often injury, and recyclable football player. He played in different team any season, and stalled.

Hmmm, that's good to see him in another jersey. Because he was quite a good player, but unfortunately injuries make him sluggish. But anyway, let's talk about the deal. I think with this deal both parties will be happy because Monaco will meet a good player while Barcelona wanted Ansu Fati to be sent on loan. Hansi Flick already has many good players, so he removed Ansu Fati from his plan. Now Monaco is his new destination, which can definitely prove to be very beneficial for his career. In Barcelona Ansu Fati did not get any minutes in which he could express his potential.

Moreover, Monaco has started to regain its team, which can definitely bring betterness in the team. Pogba and Ansu Fati are both good players. The combination of both can give a good display to the team.

Liverpool is actually making a sensational move for the Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres and they are preparing €80 million for it in other to tempt the club to selling him. Gyokeres has impressed in the last two seasons where his made a total of 102 appearance for the club. He scored 43 goals two seasons ago in 50 appearances and just last season he scored 54 goals in 52 appearances. That's an astonishing 97 goals in 102 appearances. Very very impressive.

If Liverpool wants to spend €80 million, I think it is quite interesting offer for Viktor Gyokeres. Viktor Gyokeres market value is around €75 million. Unfortunately, Sporting CP wants about €100 million but they have said to consider lower fees. However, I think €85 million is actually the minimum fees expected by Sporting CP. If Liverpool wants to add more €5 million, I'm sure it will reach an agreement. Regarding his performance last season, no doubt that it was amazing. He deserves to be one of the favorite strikers to sign in this transfer windows.

Reference: Sporting sets Gyokeres transfer fees

Sesko started following Arsenal on social Media.

Quite interesting headlines. I just wanted to comment on Sesko following Arsenal on social media. I think this new development confirms by earlier thoughts on the subject that Arsenal will sign Sesko. Also, I think they've made contact with him probably through an intermediary and very soon they're going to make an official offer.

Arsenal probably is getting closer to get an agreement with Sesko's transfer fees. They may be only waiting for the decision from Leipzig, Sesko may have got a deal with Arsenal. This looks like a big sign that Arsenal will prefer Sesko over Gyokeres. Arsenal doesn't want to negotiate with Sporting CP because Gyokeres is overprice. In addition, Benjamin Sesko is also younger and will have a longer future. It's a good choice to sign him!!

Fati was suppose to be the next Messi and they gave him the platform to excel but injury killed the form he was in before all loan started and I think he would have been an important player too for Flick even with Yamal and the rest of them but it seems Fati's time at Barcelona is up in as much as he has already signed a new deal. Monaco are trying to strengthen their squad and with the addition of Paul Pogba and now Fati, it will make them stronger than they were last season and inhopentonsee a much better Monaco team next campaign.

[SUPERSAIAN]

What we really need to be close to odds on to retain the title is a top striker.

Darwin Nunez is leaving, so yes Liverpool actually need a new striker, Nunez's time at Liverpool was not the best, even though he was bought for a lot of money and came with a lot of expectations. That said, if Liverpool want to get a top striker, they are going to have to spend a lot of money, at least more than £70m, and remember they just bought Wirtz for £116m, plus money spent on a couple of other players too.

Since Mo Salah scores a lot of goals, even though he is not a striker, the club might not go all out to get a top striker for a lot of money, that is just my feelings right now, but we'll how things pan out.

Salah has played in harmony with stars like Firmino and Mané in the past and this has always increased his performance. In Liverpool's golden era, this trio created a tremendous synergy. Therefore, if the new forward plays team-oriented, Salah's performance will be much better, and if his passing options increase, he can shine even more. Nunez needs to fill the place of the club, they cannot be only focused on Salah for the attack.

They need to replace Darwin Nunez with a player who will provide better contributions and results for the Champions League and Premier League.

[Odusko]

Liverpool agreed to sell Quansah for 35 Million Euros to Leverkusen, I don't know if this is a lose for Liverpool or not. His value is actually fair for 35 Million Euros because his performance isn't that good even he had been played for 2 years in Liverpool.

But, Quansah might able to improve and upgrade his level because he' still young.

His contract at Liverpool actually still runs until June 30, 2029. The 22-year-old Center-Back currently has a market value of €20.00m, down €2m compared to last year. This means that his performance has indeed declined quite a bit. It can be said that he is indeed a mediocre player, but for Leverkusen, this could be one of their defense boosters after being left by their top defenders.

And on the other hand, Liverpool have officially signed a contract with Milos Kerkez. And now that left-back from Bournemouth is on his way to Liverpool to complete a medical check. Liverpool have agreed to sign a contract worth £40m and will last for 5 years.

Nice one, Liverpool is putting things in place against next season, this is going to be a spectacular season as Liverpool have done extremely well in the last season even though lack of players to push through the struggle make Liverpool not to win so e leagues last season although they won the premier, but win young strickers alot could have been achieved for Liverpool, but then this is a good news, and let see what this guy brings to the pitch.

[Obari]

Fati was suppose to be the next Messi and they gave him the platform to excel but injury killed the form he was in before all loan started and I think he would have been an important player too for Flick even with Yamal and the rest of them but it seems Fati's time at Barcelona is up in as much as he has already signed a new deal. Monaco are trying to strengthen their squad and with the addition of Paul Pogba and now Fati, it will make them stronger than they were last season and inhopentonsee a much better Monaco team next campaign.

Fati was a superstar before he declined in performance, he was unable to match the energy of coming out shining. He got into the spotlight and was unable to maintain his shine and look where they got him. Ansu Fati fall from the top because he was overhyped, don't get it all twisted, the Spaniard was a gem in Barcelona before the exits of Leo Messi. He was awarded the number 10 jersey after Leo Messi but injury stopped him from reaching maturity. Fati got sidelined for months and when he recover, he couldn't reach his full peak and this is entirely not the saddle path for him.

Ansu Fati looked for answers and got a loan spell to play for EPL side, Brighton, atleast he tried his best. Now moving to Monaco, it's such a pleasure to see him in New Jersey, let's see if he can recover and reach his full potential.

The only problem for Barcelona is that, they do not have the cap space, so even at 50 million euro release clause, he can't be bought by Barcelona without going over the cap space, and that means they can't register him. Don't get me wrong, they can pay for him and get him tomorrow if they want to, it is not about the money they have, they can find 50 million right now if they want to, they are big enough club to do that, there are probably only a dozen clubs in all of the world that can do that and Barcelona is one of them.

But the problem is, if they do that, then they can't register him, like they almost failed to register Olmo. So they are trying to go with instalments way, like pay 15 million per year for 4 years, more money for Bilbao in the end, and works for Barcelona and cap space too.

[Coyster]

I think that Liverpool need a classic striker and really soon or maybe even two strikers to get for their roster. Salah does everything on the wing...

Well, on a second thought, maybe they actually do. Mo Salah is not getting any younger and even if Liverpool fans don't want to hear this, his time at the club will come to an end in a few years, so Liverpool prolly needs another goal machine, someone who can guarantee a minimum of 20 EPL goals every season.

As i was writing this, Victor Osimhen's name came to mind, imagine him in this Liverpool team, it will be a match made in heaven, that's for sure.

[HajiBagi]

A good news from Nico. He's giving green light to go to the Barcelona. His team is also willing to let him leave. Still hope Barcelona to start a plan in signing him as he can't be patience to play together with his friends in the national squad.
€50m looks easy for Barcelona, and can be trigger so easily. However, i still believe they can't pay him direct cash, but choose to pay him in some installments.

Barcelona is optimistic of the deal to be completed soon after the player said his good bye to the club and has given priority to joining Barcelona over other interests from Bayern Munich and Arsenal also Juventus. The deal is expected to be announced in coming days. Congratulations to Barcelona, their attack will be formidable next season.

With the way things are going, I don’t think Barcelona can sign Nico Williams, the reason why I said that is because Barcelona is facing a financial crisis and Barcelona can’t pay his 64m release clause and even if Barcelona can pay the money La Liga will not allow them because the registration of the player will still a problem, Athletic Bilbao have discussed with La Liga about Barcelona signing Nico William and Barcelona don’t like it which shows that Barcelona is not going to sign the player at the end.

The player has been given the green light to join Barcelona but Barcelona has not decided to pay his 64 million euro release clause, we are just hearing different news about the signing and with the way I see things are going the signing is not going to happen, if the signing is going to happen it will not take long for both teams to agree on the deal.

I feel very sorry for this player because he was surpose to be the next big player that emerge from Barcelona academy just as you have rightfully said, but not just injuries, too much hypes on him makes it difficult for him because the pressure became something he cannot handle, but this particular move to Monaco is not that bad though, I sees it as a stepping stone to better things if he can utilize this golden opportunity in front of him.
Then as for Monaco, to be frank it's obvious that they aren't slowing down in acquiring quality and high profile players, Paul Pogba and this fati is a big  plus to the team already, but I believe that they might even add more before the start of the season, let's just watch and see.

[joniboini]

I think there is a typo in your sentence. I'm not sure what to make of "win young strickers" means in this case. Are you suggesting that Liverpool should pursue young strikers to make sure they don't struggle as much to win games next season?

According to rumours, they're still on the market looking for another CB and a forward. The question is, who will they sell other than Quansah? Last time I heard, Robertson is no longer being pursued by Atleti while Nunez is likely going to go to Napoli. If they sell one or two more players after that, there's a chance they will pursue Isak. I doubt they'll go for Eketike or Sesko. CMIIW.

Bilbao have completely rejected the idea of ​​paying the amount in installments as they are unhappy with Barcelona transfer moves and are trying hard to block them. Bilbao president has asked La Liga authorities to reject Barcelona's bid on the grounds that it does not comply with FFP rules, Ansu Fati's departure to Monaco frees up space in Barcelona squad and the club's expenses would also be reduced. Barcelona have decided to pay Nico's release clause in cash, relying on the large amount of money coming into their coffers, the €150 million bonus from Nike for renewing the partnership and part of the amount from the deal to sell VIP seating rights, so Barcelona have no problem in formalizing this transfer.

Have they completed their renewal agreement with Nike? As far as i know that their talk about Nike's partnership contract was stalled. That's pretty good to hear they complete it, then use the money to sign Nico from Bilbao.
They have some players to leave at the current window season. It sounds make sense if they're adding Nico in their line up.

[Polkeins]

Liverpool continue to strengthen their squad in the transfer window and today Liverpool have announced the signing of left-back defender Milos Kerkez.
The transfer cost 40 million pounds and the contract is for 5 years.

Apparently the management strongly believes in Arne Slot, because the purchases are just great. Young players with great potential and lacking perhaps only the purchase of a central defender for next season.

Liverpool management now strongly believe in Arne slot due to his unexpected display last season in the English premier league, he is serious with his job as a couch there is every need to strengthen your team every season even when the ones you are have are good so there can a better replacement incase the team is been affected by injuries.

Milos Kerkez will be very excited to play for Liverpool one of the biggest football team in europe it really show that he is improving as a footballer for him to find favour in the sight of Arne slot even playing for a team like FC Bournemouth as this will be a great opportunity for him to play in the UEFA Champions league with the Reds.

This transfer period is reminiscent of Klopp's tenure when Liverpool were able to buy Salah, Van Dijk and now pre-season Liverpool are reinforced with a striker and a left-back and Liverpool's squad now seems to me to be one of the best in the APL.
The only thing left is to sell Nunez for at least 40-50 million and this transfer campaign of Liverpool can be considered one of the most successful in 10 years.

Milos Kerkez to all his positive sides has also very good for a defender statistics on goals and assists, because last season he scored 2 goals and made 5 assists and it seems to me in total more than Heylund last season, who cost 80 million for United.

[Lida93]

Ruud van Nistelrooy has been sacked as Leicester city head coach. Though the news claims this sack was based on mutual agreement. I on the other hand strongly believe that Ruud van Nistelrooy sack is coming as a result of his incapable ability of the former Manchester United legend from saving the club from relegating to the championship division. As for now a new head coach has not been appointed yet.
