⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[joniboini]

When will Osimhen's contract with Napoli expire? IIRC it should be in 2026? So he has around 2 years left on his contract. I wonder if the plan for other teams is to let the contract run down and hire him on a free transfer, probably with lower wages too. 2 years later, he will be 28/29, not that young anymore, so a club probably has bigger leverage at the negotiation table. If he managed to prove that he can score a lot of goals regardless of the club he plays for, maybe he will still negotiate for a somewhat higher salary. If that does happen, I wonder if Napoli will regret their decision or not. CMIIW.

Well, Osimhen's contract will end in 2026. Which means that if Napoli fails to let Osimhen go to another club this season then that means Osimhen will have free transfer status at the end of the 2026 season and Napoli will lose the opportunity to sell Osimhen at a fairly expensive price. So I think Napoli will regret it if they don't release Osimhen in the current transfer market. Napoli inevitably has to lower the player's release clause slightly so that other interested teams can make an offer. Because currently many clubs are holding back from making offers because Napoli has often rejected offers whose value is below the value determined by Napoli at this time. Galatasaray is currently also trying to get Osimhen. And Osimhen wants it too. So I think it would be very wise if Napoli accepted the offer from Galatsaray.

I don't know if he will stay in Napoli or not, but I am almost certain that he will not stay in Napoli because last year Napoli did not want him in the team despite the new manager. In such cases, the aim is to bring the player to the team thanks to the new manager, but Antonio Conte closed all the paths opened to him by not wanting him in the team last year. I am almost certain that he will make a transfer this year. I have read that Galatasaray has taken serious steps in this regard. If they are successful, it will be an important achievement for the club's history to bring him to the team. The team will incur a very high cost. They should manage this well in a way that does not harm the club.

I like Lookman, he improved a lot during the last years, but I think that Barcelona would be too much for him: he's good, pretty good, but not enough for Barcelona. Also let's not forget that Atalanta want at least 50 million euros for him, Barcelona are not in the financial situation to spend that amount of money for a player that probably wouldn't even be a starter.

I don't agree to what you've said, you just said he's good, even backed it up with pretty good then went further to say that he's not good enough for Barcelona, I wonder how good you want him to be before clubs like Barcelona sign him, was Raphinha extremely good before he got signed to the club? No he wasn't, he's in Lookman's level so I don't get what you're saying.

Anyways it's Barcelona decision to make we'll all just speculate and at the end we might be wrong, the final decision is Barcelona's to make however I won't agree that Lookman is not good enough for Barcelona. Anyways it seems Marcus Rashford is the most likely to go over there.

The situation for me it's very simple: are Barcelona in the financial position to spend at least 50 million euros for a backup player? For me, no, because they still have hundreds of millions of debts and every single year they even struggle to register the players they buy. It makes more sense to spend 70-80 million for someone who is actually going to play in the line up rather than spending a little less for a backup. That's simply my opinion but Barcelona's financial situation is a fact, not an opinion, we're talking about numbers.

Raphinha just had the season of his life, don't you remember that last year Barcelona tried to sell him in every possible way? He refused every destination and he played brilliantly at the end but for sure Barcelona didn't believe in him otherwise they wouldn't have put him on the market.

From the rumours making the rounds, Real Madrid is read to include Camavinga plus a multi million euro payments for the services of the PSG maestro in midfield Vitinha. Real Madrid looks forward to strengthen their squad especially as Modric is on his last legs for the club. It's understood that Modric has agreed personal terms with AC Milan and iwill no longer be a Madrid player after the club world cup. PSG is a big financial team and wouldn't let the heart of their midfield go for any amount.

This is like a surprise because previously Arsenal turned to other players because Sporting expected a big value for the player's transfer, but in the last few days we often see the media starting to be optimistic that Gyökeres will play for Arsenal and I am also a little bit confident that Gyökeres' transfer will go smoothly.
Arsenal are starting to show a team that is serious about building strength and they are also willing to buy players at quite fantastic prices and it seems that this is much different before Arteta became coach.

Three seasons in a row failing to win the Premier League made Arsenal start trying something different and this time Arsenal are much more serious about fixing the team so that they are much stronger next season.

I am sure Gyokeres would make a lot of difference for Arsenal. And I love it when players wants to go to a team, shows that they really want to play there. He has talked about letting go of his salary and paying some himself and what not, to make this happen. This dude is willing to pay out of pocket, his own, to make sure that he can leave.

Sporting making a big mistake, he could just fake injury all year if he wants to, not get paid if they don't want to pay and make it a legal thing, dude is literally willing to go free next time his contract is up, and force them to take the deal. It would get very ugly if they end up not selling him. They need to sit down, and figure out what the max they can get ,and be ok with letting him go.

It's not wrong for Madrid to target him, Vitinha is one of the best midfielders in the world. His statistics are quite good and he has always been a mainstay of PSG in these 3 years. His market value is around 80 million euros.  Vitinha has excellent dribbling, passing and ball control so Xabi is certainly hoping to get him. As for Camaviga, I do see him going downhill. I think the other condition is also because Xabi doesn't need him according to his scheme.

Sure he'll if he could succeed at Sporting Lisbon I think with the kind of teammates he'll have at Arsenal then he's bound to succeed, the fear factor should be that he shouldn't come to the EPL and become injury probed like Gabriel Jesus asides that Gyokeres is a goal machine he's the quality of striker Arsenal lacks and need to succeed therefore they shouldn't miss out the opportunity of signing him this season. Sporting has no option than to sell him out since he's made a decision to leave it's left for Arsenal to take advantage of the opportunity.

A good target by Madrid, but i doubted PSG to sell him. I know how valuable Vitinha for PSG. He helped PSG to win its first UCL trophy. It most likely PSG will reject it even if it's not a rumor.
Real can have a dream to sign Vitinha from PSG, but it will not happen. They can start to shifting to another target.

It must be a lesson for Madrid's scouting team to always working harder in scouting potential players that still underrated. They must not always sign a well developed player, which may cost them a lot money.

He'll make a good upgrade to Madrid's midfield but I don't think they'll convince PSG enough to sign him, not at this point, Vitinha is one of PSG's powerhouse so I don't think they'll allow one of their major Champions League rival to get him, PSG gave already lost a world class player in person of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid they can't afford giving them another quality player, can Camavinga do what Vitinha is doing if he joins PSG? The right answer is NO.

 Instead of Madrid to go on a goose chase by trying to sign Vitinha from PSG they should scout younger talents from other leagues that has the potential of Vitinha, if they could find one and give him a good playing time maybe he could develope to do better for them in future than Vitinha is currently doing for his team, however Madrid needs a quick fix, a quick replacement for Modric so they want an experienced player.

[Polkeins]

Manchester United hasn't made many transfers yet. They paid a very high transfer fee for Cunha and are currently trying to sign Swedish striker Gyökeres. If the Swedish striker joins Manchester United, Manchester United's offensive line will be much stronger. They need a player of this quality in the Premier League. They had big problems in the forward area last year and struggled with strikers who were not good at finishing. They also need a few defenders.

I think Gyokeres isn't a player who're ready to play in Premier League, he need to adapt and get taught by the coach. It's rare to see Manchester United is successfully train their new youth generation or develop a potential player from other teams.

That's why if Gyokeres join Manchester United, it might ends his career.

It seems Gyokeres is set to move to Arsenal for €80m and Gyokeres is even willing to give up some of his salary for a few years so he can have the opportunity to move to Arsenal.
https://www.record.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/liga-betclic/sporting/detalhe/noticia-record-gyokeres-sacrificou-2-m-em-salarios-para-melhorar-oferta-do-arsenal-ao-sporting?ref=Sporting_Ultimas

Arsenal are ready to buy him on the scheme of 65+15 million and give Gyokeres a five-year contract and the only thing that prevents is the greed of Sporting management, because they want 70 million for the player, although earlier Gyokeres said that he had an agreement with the club that if someone gives 65 million for him, they will let him go.
I think that if it does not work out with the transfer of Gyokeres this time, it will be as sad as Napoli with Osimhen.

Real Madrid needs a good player to replace Modric and Kroos. Every team knows that and they will try to prevent Madrid from having a good midfielder or simply increase the price of the specific positions that Real Madrid are thirsty for.
I doubt PSG will sacrifice any of its good player because it has a good squad, they might add more players, sell those who aren't that useful but certainly will not allow these useful and having a contract for more than a year.

Honestly that's a good deal.

Camavinga's market value is higher than Vitinha and Real Madrid willing to give extra money for PSG.

It must be a lesson for Madrid's scouting team to always working harder in scouting potential players that still underrated. They must not always sign a well developed player, which may cost them a lot money.

Vinicius, played for Flamengo, Real Madrid spent 45 Million Euros to get him.
Valverde, played for Penarol, Real Madrid spent 4.2 Million Euros to get him.

Now? each of them worth 150 Million Euros.

Well i think Real Madrid interest in vitinha seem like a long shoots, given his value to PSG and the hefty price tag of €130 million midfielder trio of vitinha, puls Fabian Ruzi, and joão Neves has really been a great investment and instrumental in thier success, including winning Ligue 1 and the UEFA champions league it really unlikely of PSG to let Vitinha go without a fight.

I think vitinha his already know to be an key player that contributes to PSG success which makes him a well built crucial player assets, from what made research on i think he has a contract until 2027 which stated given PSG leverage.

Real Madrid really need to look somewhere as for midfielders talent hunt Xabi fouce on strengthening the midfield which could lead to other potential targets.

The right answer is NO.

This is just speculation as far as am concern because their is no possibility of vitinha moving to real madrid considering the sour relationship that exist between psg and real madrid due to Kyler mbape moving to real madrid,  but if Madrid press harder, the only thing they will be successfully in doing, is to get into the head of the player, but that will not be enough for psg to let him go because he still has few more years in his contract unlike Kyler mbape that was having one year left on his contract then.

So instead of real madrid to waste that valuable time on vitinha, they should use that opportunity to go for someone else that can replace Toni Kross in the heart of this real Madrid team, because his absence is the major cause of their struggling especially against a ball playing team.

Although the market price is 80 million Euros, Madrid has actually prepared a budget of 100 million Euros to be able to bring in Vitinha. So it is not a problem for Madrid to continue trying to get Vitinha, especially with the performance he has, the price is appropriate for Madrid to spend. There is a possibility that Madrid will release Camaviga to PSG to be able to get Vitinha, but who knows, especially since Camaviga has not given his maximum performance. Let's just wait for further news.

Real Madrid's midfield is in need of a player who can be the heart of the game. There used to be Kroos and Modric, but both can be said to be no longer at Real Madrid. After Kroos retired, Modric next season already belongs to AC Milan.
Only Valverde, Jude Bellingham and Tchoumeni.

Trying to get a new midfielder for me is important for Alonso, but for now don't focus too much on that. Trying to utilize the existing players while continuing to monitor the targeted players is better.
Arda Guller isn't primarily a central midfielder, but under Xabi's tutelage, he can do a good job in that position when Alonso wants him to.

surely he will find some good midfielders, it will certainly not be a problem for Real Madrid to find a player who is good at the game, surely the club will give the right effort to find one, a player they have chosen, I really like Nico Paz and I think he is perfect for them

I don't agree with the idea that Real still haven't managed to replace Kroos. They have Valverde, and in my opinion, he's no worse. As for Modrić, yes, he's an important player, but if you look at last season, he often came off the bench, which shows he can no longer play a full match at the same level. He simply doesn't have the stamina for it anymore. So I think Alonso could move Bellingham into midfield as an attacking player, and in my opinion, that would be a pretty good decision. At the same time, it would open up a spot up front for Mbappé, who has returned to action after his injury.

I think they will accept Galatasaray's offer, Osimhen has had a very happy season and is very pleased with the interest shown in him in Türkiye. Also, Galatasaray's squad is very interesting, we expect him to want to play here now.
Although he is getting older, he can still play in many quality teams. I think he has the capacity to be in the top 5 teams in the Premier League, Serie A or Bundesliga. Of course, we will all see what decision Napoli will make
