⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Mame89]

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

Galatasaray have really shown their seriousness in getting Osimhen permanently into their team. Galatasaray's offer to Napoli may have been rejected. But I'm sure Napoli are considering it if there is a next offer from Galatasaray. Moreover, the deadline is also getting narrower, namely until July 15. So the two teams are either Galatasaray or Napoli. And so far Galatasaray has made an offer of €50 million plus €5 million bonus to Napoli to get Osimhen. Unfortunately, it is reported that the offer was rejected. (Sourch)

But Galatasaray still hasn't given up and reportedly they will get help from the company that sponsors the club. (Sourch) And I hope Galatasaray moves quickly. because I think Osimhen is really needed there to prepare for UCL.

Of course Galatasaray continues to try this transfer runs smoothly and can get the services of Osimhen permanently. Just imagine how Osimhen would play if he was bought with a deed of ownership by Galatasaray. Last season he as a loan player can make a big contribution especially if he has become a complete Galatasaray player, of course this will be very to help the team in competing in the league or in the Champions League.

Osimhen himself is currently interested in surviving with Galatasay while Galatsaray can only offer prices as you say, this is what makes Osiimhen's future still not find a meeting point until now. Al Hilal who offers a higher offer will certainly be liked by Napoli, but on the other hand Osimhen himself refused the offer because he still wanted to play in Europe. Interesting us to follow the development of Osimhen in the next few weeks.

Galatasaray is very dare to offering high price because 60 million bid is quite huge for the player who only have 1 year remaining contract i think Napoli should be thinking twice to reject this offer because if this summer they not sell Osimhen then possibly Osimhen will leave with free transfer status for next year but i wonder why Napoli still insist want 75 million which this price is according to Osimhen release clause price

If can't reach around 60 million euro for selling Osimhen, I think Napoli will get difficulty position for selling him next window transfer opening regarding have one year contract left. I don't think cheapest fees transfer around 60 million euro because Osimhen have one year contract left and if can reach agreement contract extended he can receive agreement deal with other club during have six months contract left. Overall, Napoli has bad position for negotiation higher fees transfer for Osimhen because one year contract left make several club interested to sign him will prefer waiting six months later or get him as free agent player next season.
Osimhen's future depends on Napoli's decision to accept an offer worth around 60 million euros or potentially lose him next season when his contract expiring, good ideas for accepting offer around 60 million euro before window transfer close or January transfer window have decreasing fees transfer of Osimhen.

Chelsea could have gone for him if only he agreed to lower his wages but I won't like him doing that because he's worthy of every penny that he asked for. The guy has proven himself in different leagues and won titles there too. I don't understand why other top European clubs aren't fighting for his signature. If at last he decides to stay with Galatasaray and the deal goes through, I wish him luck because I haven't seen a top striker be this unfortunate in the transfer window. I get his points of still wanting to play in Europe to compete with the best but bro should just take the bag and go play in the Saudi league.

Rodrigo De Paul is on the way to Inter Miami... To the place where he can reunite with Messi. Just like in the Argentina national team. I thought he would stay a little longer in Europe. I assume he isn't competitive for a title here anymore.

Where are Premier League teams? they can afford Osimhen and Osimhen definitely will want to play on there.

They are all looking for other players just like you said. I thought there would be a Premier League team interested in him after dropping to 75 million euros. Or I thought PSG would start growing interest in him again. But none of them happened. 

Manchester United looked interested recently though but they find the fee too high I assume.

[Inwestour]

Victor Osimhen’s contract with Napoli will expire on June 27, 2026, with an extension signed in December 2023. This means he has around 1.5 years left on his contract, starting in 2025. Osimhen played a key role in the Serie A title and won the African Player of the Year award in 2023. He is still considered an elite striker, so he has a strong position to negotiate his salary.

Even if he becomes a free agent in 2026, he will still be in demand on the market at the age of 28. He will be in a comfortable position when he becomes a free agent, as he will be an elite player.

Galatasaray have already reached an agreement on personal terms with Osimhen but it will not mean anything if Napoli keep rejecting their offers on the price. If I am not mistaken Napoli want to get at least 75 million euros for him but so far there is no one ready to pay that much. Manchester United by the way refused to go for Osimhen because they are not happy with the high salary he is asking for.

[AirtelBuzz]

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.

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.

I also think that Vitinha will never go to Real Madrid, there is too much animosity between the two clubs, but we must consider the fact that PSG has no intention of selling its prized players, they are not interested and do not need the money given how much they earned with the Champions League victory

It is not right to say that Vitinha will never join the Real Madrid club but at the moment it seems that there are no plans to sell him anytime soon. According to the update, we understand that the Spanish club is not giving up on the idea of signing this talented player. It is undoubtedly correct that this club is looking for a midfield conductor at the moment if I'm not mistaken they might be looking at this Portuguese player as the ideal choice. It wouldn't be wrong to think that if the Portuguese player is able to contribute a lot in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup semi-final match against Real Madrid, then he will surely become the ideal choice for this Spanish club again.

EU teams are not gonna fight for Osimhen signature because of his salary. His salary is considerably big. He's receiving £300,000 weekly now, and demanding £380,000 for a club that wanted his signature. It's so damn high, and also a sense reason for EU teams are not looking at him.

If you asked me, I would say I am surprised that many European clubs are not clamouring for the services of Victor Osimhen. Some sports commentators claim that Napoli's asking price is high. But that's not true because I have seen clubs sign players that are not in Victor Osimhen's class for a higher amount.

Osimhen shouldn't move to Saudi Arabia this season. Napoli is concerned about money and not the future of the Nigerian striker. I think Victor should take his time and make a sound decision. There are reports that he might still remain in Galatasaray if Napoli accepts their bid.

Huge? You mean for player that was loan to them without any payment? The only terms of the loan was Galatasaray to py him his full weekly wages and in return he was able to bottled plenty of goals, not to forget that he was there highest goal scorer. When was the last time they had this kind of finishing in a season. He deserves whatever Napoli is asking because he was there for Galatasaray, he's worth the amount they are asking and not only that, Osimhen is good.

When last did Galatasaray even appear in Champions league and how far did they go after the season. Since the last time I saw them in the Champions League, I haven't seen them if not for this season again and that was because Osimhen was there. They should be thankful other club refused to pay him what he is asking them otherwise I'm not sure he will look at Galatasaray even twice. If they buy him, they can decide their own release clause.

Sometimes I don't quite understand the current player transfer value, which is very fantastic. and this is also the reason why Osimhen's transfer to Galatasaray has not been completed until now even though Galatasaray really needs the presence of the Nigerian player to face the next season.

Chelsea does have more stable finances, they could have brought Osimhen from Napoli, but again because of the high salary and transfer value, Chelsea canceled their intention to be able to bring Osimhen from Napoli. Besides that, I think Chelsea has a fairly fat squad, there are still many Chelsea players whose performances are still not optimal.

[Alpha Marine]

Napoli really wants to punish victor osimhen because of the issues they have, I heard that Napoli has brought back victor osimhen from Galatasaray because there loan contract with Galatasaray has ended and they have decided not to use victor osimhen in there team, meaning victor osimhen will not be playing and that will really affect him, Napoli not reducing the transfer funds of victor osimhen is not right because no team in premier League can buy him with such amount of money.

Napoli will be forced to sell because if they want to go the "punishing" route, the player is not the only one who will lose. They can't keep a player who earns such a big salary on the bench. They are not a team that has that luxury. They either sell him or free up space for use. Another advantage Osimhen has is that his contract expires at the end of next season so if Napoli decides to keep him without using him for one year, he will leave for free by the end of the season and that will be a bigger loss for Napoli because thyve paid millions to a player that dint play for them and now he has left for free. That's why I'm convinced Napoli will sell Osimhen; they're just trying to hold on and get as much money as they can from the deal.

[SFR10]

Who would have thought that Arsenal will be more closer to landing Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP? I've always doubted Arsenal not to be leading in any race to sign a competent attacker, I guess my days of underestimating are over and time to look on the good winning side. Gunners will be prepared enough and ready to take risks, because it's worth it.

A lot of the recent changes in our transfer policy have to do with our new sporting director ^{[Andrea Berta]}. He's well known for his effective negotiation style ^{[something that Edu clearly lacked]} and based on the "strikers that he signed for Atletico Madrid", I'm pretty sure he can get us a few more attacking options before the season starts.

[coinlocket$]

Sancho has never been short of options since he was released by Chelsea it has always been about his personal terms like wages and not a lot about the fees that the two clubs will agree. Juventus on the other hand might be looking for a much safer alternative or option like using a player swap deal with the likes of Douglas Luiz, Timothy Weah and Valhovic been lined up as part of the players that Manchester United can hand pick from.

Sancho is one of the few players that the club are really looking to sale to help reduce their wage load and also generate more money for future buys. So this deal will be very important for Manchester United as a club as they will want this finalize.

The problem for Juventus was his salary.
If I'm not mistaken he earn more than 12 mil per year after taxes.
That kinda money is out of market to be in Italy.

If he ends there he needs a big cut on his salary

Manchester United by the way refused to go for Osimhen because they are not happy with the high salary he is asking for.

Manchester United has a big bucket of problems that they have to solve first before they can dictate salaries or be attractive enough for top players to go there. Because what does a player get when he signs a contract with Manchester United? Nothing but uncertainty and they don't play in the UCL. A top player can usually choose from a number of clubs and in a last resort Osimhen could always decide to lower his salary requirements and still go to one of the best clubs and play in the UCL.

Osimhen is about to enter his late 20s at the end of this year and signing a contract with Manchester would mean that he could end up not playing in the UCL for years. He can as well stay in Turkey, play for Galatasaray, play the UCL and make good money.

It is still up to him. He's got the quality and he is still in his prime.

[Nheer]

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.

At Age 28 I don't think a lot big teams will want to work with him anymore, most of these teams that wants a striker are looking to work with younger players so if he doesn't make a transfer out of Napoli as soon as possible then the possibilities of getting a good team will be less.
I really wanted him at Chelsea but it seems Chelsea already got themselves a striker since his move didn't happen. With the look of things I think Galatasaray will be his destination, so sad he didn't get a top team to play.

Even if he becomes a free agent in 2026, he will still be in demand on the market at the age of 28. He will be in a comfortable position when he becomes a free agent, as he will be an elite player.

You're right he is an elite striker but which of these top teams want a striker? Arsenal prefers Gyokeres, Chelsea and Manchester United didn't agree to his salary terms and so they are clearly not thinking about him anymore. These 3 teams are the ones lacking a striker as it stands. I know PSG are not thinking of striker as it stands because they are already playing well without a striker. At 28 being a free agent won't mean teams will run coming because of the age but I hope things work out for him properly. He has proven himself in different leagues already so he still has a lot to offer to any team that signs him.

[RaltcoinsB]

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.

It doesn't work that way. If the two teams dont come to an agreement at the end of the day Osimhen will be going no where. From my observation, Napoli is not ready to reduce the price for Osimhen, everything all falls down to if Galatasaray will agree to release that amount for the player. If it is by value, I am pretty sure Osimhen worth more than that amount, he is only not playing in the right club and right league. I still dont know why big leagues are not considering him to be the striker they want.

If Napoli does not accept this offer, they will run a high risk of not gaining anything from the link they have with Osimhen. It seems to me that Osimhen's contract ends next season and he could become a free agent and that would not be good for Napoli. Also, the fact that Osimhen refuses the Saudi clubs and there are no other big clubs in Europe interested in them could put pressure on Napoli to give in and close a deal with Galatasaray early.

Napoli will come out on top with the proposal that Galatasaray is offering, they do not have many choices. If Osimhen stays at Napoli, then Napoli's management would be forced to pay him a high salary even if he is not playing, this is a very bad thing for Napoli's management.

Galatasaray is very dare to offering high price because 60 million bid is quite huge for the player who only have 1 year remaining contract i think Napoli should be thinking twice to reject this offer because if this summer they not sell Osimhen then possibly Osimhen will leave with free transfer status for next year but i wonder why Napoli still insist want 75 million which this price is according to Osimhen release clause price

I think if they can add Osimhen to the squad for another year on loan, they can transfer him for free next year. It makes no sense for a team to pay such high amounts of money for a player whose contract has one year left to run. Also, it is said that Galatasaray will reach its spending limit in the Turkish Super League if this transfer happens. It is necessary to ask whether Galatasaray can pay this much money for this transfer when it cannot make any other transfers or whether it is reasonable.

Every elite team is been present and itching to see greenlight from Victor Osimhen. The Nigeria international, Victor Osimhen is a big player and his value in the transfer market is extremely high. None of his mates matches his level and he's also been very careful not to make a wrong decision that would ruined his football career for life. We quite understand the circumstances that follows when a player doesn't give the full expectations of his presence in the club. I respect whatever decision he will take because he's the only one capable of making the big moves. There's just couple of time before we can sized up the necessary features available.

[LUCKMCFLY]

He won't return to Europe. Apart from the contract he now has with Al Nassr until at least 2026 and the possibility to extend it further until 2027, he doesn't want to because he is after millions and billions. No club in Europe could pay 20% of what he gets paid per year in Saudi Arabia.

Ah, okay, in any case, if that's what he wants then he can have that luxury , He's a player who has achieved everything, The only thing he has to achieve is winning a World Cup That's the only thing he's missing He knows very well what he's doing Now he has a very good opportunity, and with everything that's coming up for the World Cup, that's what he's most excited about For now, the Arab clubs will pay him a lot of money, not bad at all.

[Ale88]

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.

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.

I agree: after what happened with Mbappé (just one year ago) how could Real Madrid go and negotiate with PSG? Someone here said Vitinha is valued 80 million euros, for me there is no way they would ever sell him to Real Madrid for that amount of money for two reasons: 1) they don't need money 2) they are very pissed for Mbappé. And I totally side with PSG on this, if Real Madrid were to approach me asking info about Vitinha I'll simply show them the door.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Benjamin Šeško scored a total of 13 goals and provided 5 assists for RB Leipzig while Viktor Gyokeres has scored 39 goals with 7 assist (correct me if I'm wrong) and their names has been on almost every transfer news we see or hear on the news. Arsenal are desperately looking for a way to get them both even if they find it hard to be serious about getting any of them. Viktor Gyökeres did much last season with the number of goals scored while Benjamin Šeško didn't get close, it seems both strikers have so much to offer and I ask, who'd do more better for Arsenal next season, is it Benjamin Šeško or Benjamin Šeško?
