⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Lida93]

If it were Napoli's decision alone to make about the future of Victor Osimhen, the news about his transfer would have been a thing of the past because Napoli are so keen to have him go to Saudi due to the fees the Saudi club are willing to offer in full. But the striker just as you said wants to play in Europe so desperately and am glad that Galatasaray are making all efforts to retain him in their club. A lot of respect there for Gala... It shows a lot of value they have for the Nigerian striker's role he played in their clubs successes last season.

It is definitely a good club and I am sure Osimhen is happy to be playing at this club, but I also think that he would like to leave Galatsaray in the future and play for another European team that has more potential, for example in the Champions League. Or play in a more prestigious league, EPL for example, where the competition is very high. This would raise his level as a player

Surely he is happy and in turn the club is also happy with him which has led to their push towards retaining Osimhen in the club. Some of the EPL clubs that have been coming for him are unwilling to pay for the fees Napoli placed on him and with his wage he is demanding for . But I don't see it as something too much to ask for, provided the player is giving the required results, of which Osimhen has proven many times every club he plays for.

I understand that he is probably worth his money, but he will need to adapt in the EPL for the first time, because the Turkish league is not weak, but it is clearly not the level required in the EPL, so he may have problems in the first time, but given his level he will get over them quickly. I hope this dragging process doesn't drag on for another season, I just feel sorry for a player who is losing his potential

I don't see Victor Osimhen as a player that might have trouble playing in the EPL from his first season because he has the europe football experience especially while he was in Napoli. His level of experience and professionalism wouldn't take him more than a few games to adapt to the EPL, we saw Erling Haaland did it  with City in his first season and the next despite haven't played in the EPL before. So Victor Osimhen wouldn't be any difference in adapting immediately. I really do feel for him too.

Liverpool do not seem to be interested in Osimhen, which is why they never mentioned him even when they negotiate the potential transfer of Darwin Nunez to Napoli, Liverpool have not linked Osimhen with the negotiations. The striker targeted by Liverpool is Alexander Isak, and perhaps Liverpool need to wait first until Darwin Nunez is sold because signing Isak will require a high amount of money.

Liverpool's recruitment techniques are often carried out secretly without much media exposure so that Liverpool's interest in one player is rarely known. Perhaps not being interested in Osimhen is also part of Liverpool's strategy.

Recently, the media has exposed Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich after news of the potential transfer of Darwin Nunez.
Osimhen is a definite attacker when already in the opposing team's defense. Of course we are happy if Liverpool can sign Osimhen.

I really don’t understand the logic behind this many signings Chelsea have been making, it feels like they just want to sign every good player available in the market so no other club gets them lol. How Maresca will manage a team with so many players is beyond comprehension, I hope he can manage them though.

If you look at it, it's not a bad strategy Clubs that barely update their squad start to lose And if they have enough money to buy good players, stars, among others, then they start to consolidate a good team, strong, with mobility and quality, The important thing is that they have players with enough quality to compete in matches with a lot of pressure.

Todd Boehly has a different approach than Roman Abramovich. Undeniably, Todd Boehly leadership style seems to prioritize business, especially when it comes to buying and selling players in every transfer window. However, this approach has also been quite successful. Chelsea is slowly starting to find its rhythm again, and they now have a wealth of players in their squad, which, in my opinion, makes Enzo Maresca job easier.

Of course, not every Chelsea player is world class, but Reece James, Enzo Fernandez, and Cole Palmer are among those who are. With their aggressive transfer policy, it’s likely they’ll discover more young talents who fit into Maresca system, which in the long run will give Chelsea strong squad depth. Next season, Chelsea will return to the Champions League, and with the increasingly congested match schedule, Enzo Maresca will no longer have to worry about rotation options due to the abundance of players in his squad.

Liverpool’s transfer strategy is somehow not public and other teams like Arsenal and Chelsea in the Premier League, they do scout for their players without public notice and they hen the news come to the public it do take few time because they don’t bargain that much like Arsenal used to do; out of the four players they signed this summer, only Florian Wirtz’s deal was public because they have been on the deal since in the January transfer window, while others were done within short period of time.
If Liverpool can sell Darwin Nunez for Napoli, they will soon publicly show their interest in Osimhen if they truly wanted to sign him because they will need a replacement for Nunez if they let him go.

Recently, the media has exposed Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich after news of the potential transfer of Darwin Nunez.
Osimhen is a definite attacker when already in the opposing team's defense. Of course we are happy if Liverpool can sign Osimhen.

News can only carry information revealed by the management, but if the management decides not to make it public like others used to do, the news will not carry the news. But I am very sure if they let Nunez join Napoli, they will definitely look for a replacement, and if Arsenal has already finalized their deal with Gyokeres, they can only go for either Osimhen or Benjamin Sesko.

Finally, Real Madrid's most decorated player Luka Modric leaves the club after playing his final game for the club in their 4:0 defeat to French and European champions Paris Saint Germaine. As a Real Madrid fan, I'm yet to make peace with the fact that another legend of the club have left but I believe that he'll someday come back to the club but definitely not as a player. Reports have it that he's already signed for AC Milan. Wishing the Croatian midfield maestro the best as he he continues his football journey.

Thanks for everything Luka. He has been so long playing for Madrid, and i know how loyal he was. However, it's time for him to leave from the club is coming. Wish him luck on his new club. Only a bit disappointed with how he got embarrassing result on his last game with Real Madrid. It's because how terrible Real Madrid's defense combined with how clueless two divas int he front line. I hope him will ball with his new club.

Wow what an incredible baller one of my favorite after christiano Ronaldo, a player like no other in his prime this most decorated real Madrid player, wow it's time to say goodbye from real Madrid I wish you the best of luck, and I still hope you deliver because I can always count on you, your body movement is second to none the passes, well I just hope you have a great experience at AC Milan in as much as age has cougth up to you I still believe in your experience, it is hard to say goodbye but we just have to.

Luka Modric's experience and leadership skills are uncommon, but his on-pitch performance has reduced to a large extent. He no longer has the strength and vigor to keep competing for a steady slot in the Real Madrid team. He had achieved almost everything with Real, so I think it's time for him to depart after winning 28 trophies and one Ballon d'Or. AC Milan might find him helpful considering that Massimiliano Allegri wants to replace Tijjani Reijnders, who moved to Manchester City.  I also wish him success in his new Italian club.

Although Luca Modric has leadership skills and experience, the player is currently set to join the Italian league, but we wanted him to at least be able to play in the Club World Cup final. In fact his team lost to a French club in the semi-final match of the FIFA Club World Cup, which may have prevented this player from playing more matches for his former team. The explanation you gave about him is correct because he won a Ballon d'Or in 2018 as well as numerous other awards and he has also contributed to many elegant matches. We should still trust his experience even the club's president mentioned that the player embodies the values of the Spanish club as an exemplary footballer so it's clear that he was extremely important.

Modric have played a total of 529 matches in Real Madrid and he is the only player that have stayed very long in the club. Winning a total of 28 trophies in the club which makes him the only player that has won the highest trophies with Real Madrid. The poor performance from his last match wasn't his fault because Real Madrid is not in a good form.

Yes, it seems that according to today latest news from my notifications, Galatasaray will be the ones to sign Osimhen. Honestly I'm not happy if that happens, even if Osimhen can play in the UCL with Galatasaray, because I'd love to see him play for a higher-level team, and it's a shame that Osimhen has to be bought in installments. It's a shame perhaps that this is Napoli only way to remain profitable, considering they'll miss out on an opportunity like this next year.

I'm not happy that Victor Osimhen will be joining Galatasaray either. I was hoping that Manchester United would make a shocking move to sign Victor Osimhen this season, but since no top clubs in the top five leagues in Europe show interest in signing Victor Osimhen, we can't blame him for accepting to join Galatasaray because he wants to be happy playing football after what he passed through at Napoli.

It looks like Tottenham Hotspur are ready to build on the success they had last season after they won the Europa league. Or could it be the criticism that Daniel Levy received from Christian Romero when their manager was sacked that's making the club revamp their squad? I read from sky sports news that Tottenham Hotspur has completed the signing of Kudus Cash from Westham and they have also Triggered the £60m released clause of Morgan Gibbs White of Nottingham forest. These are good signings for Tottenham. The players in question are proven premier league players. It seems Tottenham Hotspur are really ready for business this coming season.

There are rumors that Nunez might be heading to Napoli. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but i think he’ll be leaving sometime soon either way. As you mentioned, Liverpool tends to work in secrecy, and then suddenly a great transfer happens without much warning. Osimhen seems to be everyone's target because he's an excellent striker, and i believe he would fit in anywhere.

I hope you know Manchester United bought Onana from Inter Milan at a high price, and Manchester United is supposed to sell Onana above the price they bought him from Inter Milan, but since Onana's performance isn't impressive at Manchester United, Manchester United knows no club will be willing to buy Onana at the same price they bought him from Inter Milan or above the price they bought him, so Manchester United decides to lower Onana's transfer fee so that it will be easy for them to sell him and also realize money that could help them secure another goalkeeper elsewhere. Monaco knows if they can buy Onana from Manchester United, his performance will improve, so the $30 million Manchester United value Onana will not be a problem for Monaco if Onana is their number one priority.

Onana's purchase or transfer from Inter Milan in July 2023 with his performance for 2 seasons at Manchester United can be said to be the worst purchase despite having received several personal awards.
Inter Milan got Onana from Ajax in July 2022 with free transfer status. How smart Inter Milan is in buying and selling Onana.

Amorim's statement about the transfer plan provided a breath of fresh air regarding Onana and a number of other names. The source I can no longer remember clearly. Especially for Onana, Amorim gave Onana the opportunity if he wanted to leave Old Traffod because of his disappointing performance, but Onana chose to stay and then I still follow developments related to Onana.

I don't see Victor Osimhen as a player that might have trouble playing in the EPL from his first season because he has the europe football experience especially while he was in Napoli. His level of experience and professionalism wouldn't take him more than a few games to adapt to the EPL, we saw Erling Haaland did it  with City in his first season and the next despite haven't played in the EPL before. So Victor Osimhen wouldn't be any difference in adapting immediately. I really do feel for him too.

He is physically sound,  a fighter, direct and also pacy. He is made for the Premier league competition,  it's damn sad to see that he'll be going elsewhere all because of his salary and wages. Well, everyone had what it takes to succeed and fail, he is a decider of what's best for both his career and plans of his family. I do think he is worth whatever he is asking for but the drop in wage structure lately has not aligned with his.

Luka Modric has been an important player for Real Madrid ever since he arrived at Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur, and he has helped Real Madrid win so many matches and trophies. I wish him well in his new club and his new challenge. I was also disappointed by the heavy defeat Real Madrid conceded against PSG last night because it is Luka Modric's last match at Real Madrid, and Real Madrid failed to beat PSG to honor Luka Modric.

Noni Madueke has signed for Arsenal. Fee agreed in excess of £50m with add-ons included, green light from Chelsea.

Madueke already agreed five year deal at Arsenal days ago and he’s now set to complete the move.

The gunners are very active in the windows. Truly Mikel Arteta said he wants all the players to available in the pre season training.

Onana has been awful last season or should I say since he left inter Milan for the Red Devils, he hasn't been him self and for this concluded season he didn't have what it takes to go for him that's if the are to sell him. With Monaco going for him, I think the asking price is not suppose to be, for a goalkeeper that played 50 games in all competition and kept only 11 clean sheet, he should be sold for either £15m and not £30m...if I'm to say Monaco should look elsewhere for a goalkeeper because Onana has lost that spark in him or better still, they should see how he perform next season. If I'm to ask, is Onana worth £30m?

Since Onana arrived at Manchester United from Inter Milan, his performance has been awful for Manchester United, and he has done more harm than good at Manchester United, which has left Manchester United no option but to part ways with him this season. In my opinion, I think the £30m Manchester United wants to sell Onana to Monaco for is fair, even though Onana's performance in Manchester United isn't something to write home about, because Onana cost Manchester United a great fortune, and if Manchester United sells Onana to Monaco at £15m, Manchester United will be at a great loss.

The thing is he doesn't worth that amount with the way he performed last season and you'd agree with me that no club will spend a fortune just to get someone who's performance is not up to averager or should we blame the club? I think they have a hand in this poor display by Onana last season. The previous season Onana and UTD was owing the EPL number of goals, they concede more than they scored which doesn't say good about the club and the goalkeeper. He was good at Inter Milan but coming to UTD seems like he left his great form in Italy and came to England with something no one can applaud him for. The amount is too much, at least £20m or £25m if they are to consider the Red Devils, they can lose on this deal talking about Monaco.

I hope you know Manchester United bought Onana from Inter Milan at a high price, and Manchester United is supposed to sell Onana above the price they bought him from Inter Milan, but since Onana's performance isn't impressive at Manchester United, Manchester United knows no club will be willing to buy Onana at the same price they bought him from Inter Milan or above the price they bought him, so Manchester United decides to lower Onana's transfer fee so that it will be easy for them to sell him and also realize money that could help them secure another goalkeeper elsewhere. Monaco knows if they can buy Onana from Manchester United, his performance will improve, so the $30 million Manchester United value Onana will not be a problem for Monaco if Onana is their number one priority.

I'm aware of the deal between Man UTD and Inter Milan for Onana and we know how good he was with the club but I think Manchester United as a team made Onana to look like an amateur goalkeeper from a 3rd division team, always conceding goals every week. When the team doesn't do well he takes the blame and when they win a game even with countless of saves no one will talk about him which I feel is wrong.
The Cameroonian goalkeeper is good but if any club wants to secure the signature of a player they usually use the performance of the players in the previous season or current season, so judging by the season that just ended I'd say, no matter the amount the Red Devils bought Onana I feel Monaco are on the right path of pricing the goalkeeper below £30m, maybe starting to price from £20m after all UTD are the cause of the goalkeeper losing his form.

Modric is indeed a legend, he has a wonderful time with Real Madrid and has won a lot of trophies and personal achievements with the club, he made it clear that he was nothing before he came to Real Madrid and he has achieved a lot with them. I wish him all the best in his career even though I am also expecting him to comeback someday as a coach in Real Madrid because he looks like a coach with his leadership skills.

Real Madrid needs to strengthen their defense, we have seen how weak Rudigar is now, a big team like Real Madrid can’t rely on him, they need two central defenders to make a good team, and now that Bellingham is set to also be out for few weeks, I think Madrid need more midfielders before the beginning of next season.

Modric is a living legend of their team and its really sad that he has to leave but i understand its because of his age and probobly he has 1 or 2 years more in him and he will retire for sure from football. Real Madrid needs players in defence because they keep conceding a lot and something is not right at their team currently

Arsenal are very active to get in players that Chelsea have no use for, if Arteta have planned for a better team I don't see why he should be celebrating at getting a players that lack confidence in himself and the Gunners don't know what good they have done to keep such player of the Chelsea first eleven and even on the driver's seat. To me I think the Gunners are not serious because if they do they would happen gone for a better winger like Rodrygo but it seems they only want weak materials.

According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konaté has informed the club of his intentions to join Real Madrid when his current contract expires next summer. The Premier League side have  reportedly spent much of the year trying to sign the French talent up to a new contract, but it now seems as though Konaté has forced his hand. As a result, fresh reports in England now suggest that the Premier League champions are intent on selling the central defender this summer, rather than let him leave for free in 12 months time

Liverpool seems to have been the busiest team this transfer window, signing three new first team players and selling four  already and now it seems Konaté might be joining that list. Madrid wants to take away all Liverpool’s defence…lol.
 There’s a number of players lined up to replace Konaté if he eventually leaves. It is rumoured they’re gunning for the likes of Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace, Antonio Silva from Benfica, Piero Hincapié from Bayer Leverkusen, Ilya Zabarnyi from Bournemouth, Joel Ordóñez from Club Brugge.
I think these are decent centre backs, who do you think will better fit Liverpool.
