⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[red4slash]

Asensio was a quite promising player when he was young. But he couldn't meet the expectations exactly honestly... His real downfall happened after joining PSG where he couldn't find much chance to play.  

He is still a skilled player of course. But I doubt he deserves such a high salary. He makes 14.5 million euros a year at PSG and now he is still expected to earn 10+ million at Fenerbahçe.

It's a bit unfortunate for Asensio at the moment, he's one of the players I quite liked especially when he was at Madrid but there are indeed some things that make his performance slowly seem to disappear even though his condition was initially quite good.

Losing the main place in Madrid seemed to make a little momentum in the growth of Asensio's performance lost and his mistake for me was moving to PSG but could not develop there.
Now Asensio is looking for a smaller club even though it's good especially Fenerbahce is also not a small club for Turkish size but I remain

Now Asensio is looking for a smaller club although that is good especially since Fenerbahce is also not a small club for Turkey but I still regret the little career he has had.

I quite hope he regains the momentum to make his situation better especially for performance size but it comes back to Asensio himself in the end.

In terms of numbers Sesko’s numbers are no match for Gyokeres, this comparison has been a major issue in the Gunners decision making but the Gunners have now made their choice since Sesko seems unrealistic because of the price Leipzig are demanding. The last time I heard about the deal we were told talks have advanced so soon we hope for “here we go!” from Fabrizio.

They're both good attackers but if I were to pick one for my team, I think I'll go with Gyokeres, asides the fact that he's worked with Amorim before I think he's better than Sesko cause his goals in the past 2 season is more better than Sesko's. The Gunners should be glad that Gyokeres is given to them for a fair price so they shouldn't miss the opportunity else they'll regret not signing him. We'll I believe they'll cause from the look of things a deal is close to happening, as for getting both Gyokeres and Sesko I don't think it would be possible, maybe they could try going for Sesko next season but their major focus concerning that position should be Gyokeres since he's cheaper.

Sporting CP reportedly demanded a large portion of the transfer fee for Gyokeres be paid upfront, making negotiations difficult for Arsenal. Gyokeres himself is very keen on a move to the Premier League, but with the complexity of the transfer talks, his move to Arsenal might fall through.
Gyokeres experience suggests he's certainly better than Sesko, so it makes sense for Arteta to pursue him. Regardless of the situation, Arsenal must secure a striker for next season, they will struggle to compete if they fail to secure one.

What I noticed in the last few years is that there are now more exit options for players and they are much faster when it is about signing contracts with one of those smaller teams because they now can offer lucrative contracts. Usually signing a contract with a team like Galatasaray meant that the players have to forego a significant amount in salary, but now these teams somehow have more income or financial resources at their disposal and as soon as they are willing to pay enough, players are willing to give up their dreams, like fighting against the competitio in Madrid, much faster and then they end up in a league like in Turkey.

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 ŠeškoŠešk or Benjamin Šeško?

In terms of numbers Sesko’s numbers are no match for Gyokeres, this comparison has been a major issue in the Gunners decision making but the Gunners have now made their choice since Sesko seems unrealistic because of the price Leipzig are demanding. The last time I heard about the deal we were told talks have advanced so soon we hope for “here we go!” from Fabrizio.

Šeško and Viktor Gyökeres can't be compared because we all know that the Sporting CP player is on top of his game and I sure hope he continues with that form and something I said on one of my post about both players is that the one (Gyökeres) with the high number of goals last season can come to the EPL and struggle while the other one (Šeško) with the low number of goals last season can perform at his best in the EPL so we shouldn't say much about these two players, they are good but the problem is the club which is Arsenal. If you're waiting for "Here we go" I feel it at not happen because the pressure of getting any of them can't be seen on paper so let the Gunners continue hoping things would turn out their way.

That's crazy! According to Fabrizio, Galatasaray and Napoli have a deal for the transfer of Osimhen. One of the most expensive and best strikers at the moment and he's moving to the turkish league. He will play in the CL also but the league is absolutely no challenge for him. Besides Osimhen, Galatasaray also got Icardi back from injury and Zaniolo from loan. They have a really strong team that can currently compete with the big players in Europe.

I cant understand why people are saying this is not a good deal for Osimen. It is a very good deal to me. He could haven gotten a better deal and gone to a bigger club in Europe top 5 leagues, but staying in Galatasarayis not a bad idea. The fans already love him, he has performed for them and proven himself to them. There is way less pressure from that team and he gets to play in the Champions league.
It is better to stay in Turkey than go to Saudi Arabia. Age is still on his side, and a couple more years in Europe isn't bad. After his contract with Galatasaray runs out he can go retire in Saudi if he wants to.

Elang to Newcastle. A bit surprised to see this move as i rarely heard them linked to the NuFC. I rated this as a good move as Elanga is a good winger, and consistently perform in any season. Sad for Forest to lose him, though have Bakayoko as his potential replacement. That's because Bakayoko is not as good as him.
I believe losing Elanga to the NuFC is a big blow.

I have nothing to expect from Nottingham Forest next season as they lose their key players last season. Finishing at mid must be their best target. I also consider they overachieved if they do it next season.

Elang is a very good signing for Newcastle. He happens to be one of the top young talents in the league last season. Newcastle United were one of the underdogs last season and I’m confident they will cause more problems with Elanga on their side next season.

I hope so. He has been so talented as a winger, but wondering none of big clubs wanted him. His move to the Newcastle is the best. Interestingly he becomes the second most expensive signiings by Newcastle. I can't wait to see his debut on his new club. Props to the newcastle's talent recruiter.

Newcastle just signed a baller a fast rising star in the EPL that would strengthen their club. Anyway this is goodnews for Manchester United since they'll receive a sell  clause of about £5.5m from this deal therefore they don't have any excuse again not to sign Mbeumo. It's day 37 and they're still negotiating and frustrating the coach they better use this money and the one they'll get if Madrid completes deal for Alvaro Carreras to seal Mbeumo's deal before or by next week no more excuses.

They have a really strong team that can currently compete with the big players in Europe.

And Fenerbahce are also making one good transfer after another. Now Asensio has also arrived from Paris.

Napoli had previously rejected a 70 million offer from Galatasaray but it seems they didn't want to give up so quickly so a new offer of 75 million was immediately made although this was met with an alternative where 40 million became cash and the remaining 35 million became installments but of course it still came back to 75 million in the end.

If you look at this condition, it seems that it is not difficult for Napoli to accept this because from the beginning Napoli only targeted the release clause considering they also knew that their conditions with Osimhen did not have a match so instead of forcing it it would be better to release with the expected clause and now they can get the expected clause even though the form of payment is divided into 2 options.

But on the other hand it seems that in this case Galatarasary is also really very brave and seeing the current conditions this is the bravest step I have seen for the purchase of players for Galatasaray even though this is comparable to his performance.

I love the name you gave this very player Elanga "A Baller" and it will be something Newcastle will never regret and I see Nottingham Forest as another team to struggle next season if they don't get a replacement immediately because Elanga has been one of the players that made the team to go forward and the £5.5m UTD received will help them some how but they'll always regret ever letting the young lad (Elanga) go, now look how they are crawling to get to the top and if they delay another club can come for Mbeumo.
When it comes to making deals I don't see Man UTD progressing till the end of the transfer market and they always go back to patch with the players they have that are not doing well, don't even believe they'd get Mbeumo.

[baeva]

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.

But Haaland played in the Bundesliga, then Borussia Dortmund was perfectly competitive with Bayern, rightfully one of the strongest teams in Europe, so he had no problems moving to the EPL, but Victor plays in the Turkish league, which is nowhere near the top European leagues, so there is some difference between the adaptations

What are you saying? Does it mean you're not aware that Victor Osimhen has played for Napoli in the Italian Serie A for many seasons and even helping them to win one of the major trophy in the Italian league which for many years Napoli wasn't able to win. Or are you trying to say the bundesliga is much more competitive than the Italian Serie A? Oh no, we all know it's not. So Osimhen just having a season played in the Turkish league doesn't make him unable to adapt quickly into the EPL. He's a veteran footballer and can play anywhere.

What does Napoli have to do with him? Is he playing for Napoli at the moment? No, de facto he is their player, but he is on loan and playing for another club, I explicitly wrote a comparison between the Turkish league and the Bundesliga, not Napoli. Even so, the comparison is very subtle if we are talking about Italy and Germany, and the Italian league is simply richer in strong clubs that can do well in European tournaments, while in Germany it's mostly just Bayern.

Yet again another transfer window and yet again another saga between Napoli and Osimhen, I think the club can’t be called out for actually being unprofessional because it is still in their jurisdiction to actually accept and reject any bid less beyond their valuation and that’s what is happening here. Before today there was a report that any fee above £65m will convince Napoli to sell the player but we are here were Galatasaray have gone in with more than £70m now and yet to agree on this deal, for they actually seeking the entire release clause instead of a fee below it and since they see the desperation and eagerness in Galatasaray they are trying to milk them out.

According to reports there was an amount agreed with Al Hilal earlier on which is very well above the amount expected by Napoli and Osimhen rejected the offer and as such the club wants to actually get close to the amount back in whatever club he accepts and that’s the reason for this saga

Personally i will say both parties have not drop the hot blood between them and that’s why there is this fee crisis and this brings me to the point that it could be this situation that the other clubs were avoiding and none wanted to be in this circus. Galatasaray have seriously shown their intent in Osimhen and I hope they get their main and he delivers yet again for them

it is already happening with the guys from Saudi Arabia and the whole thing will continue as they are now building the brand around his son. I call that a privileged life!

He's so ambitious I realize he wants to keep playing football for the rest of his life. But his physical condition won't be as favorable as when he was younger. I think he'll be happy if An Nassr extend his contract even if it's for a small salary. I think his ambition has trumped money. I've read that if he were to retire he'd want to return to the Portuguese club that made his name.

I think An Nassr is currently benefiting from Ronaldo's branding rather than his game. Ronaldo coming to An Nasr has brought money in other forms to the club. I think Ronaldo is still very profitable for the club, even though in terms of playing he has greatly decreased.

This is what he has now been taking into consideration for quite some time, it is not unknown to Ronaldo that age is after him and he won't be able to play forever. But many of the critics have to admit that he is doing much better than almost anyone else at his age. Ibrahimovic was an exception and there are very few other players who were able to play well, but there has never been a player I think who was still able to perform on that level not only in the Saudi Professional League, but in the national team. He is still scoring against some of the best players in the world and for as long as he is able to do that, he will be part of the national team and also able to play the national team competitions like the upcoming WC.

That's why he's still trying to keep fit, avoid things that would help him look weaker and then stay healthy, it's not really much about Al Nassr at this point but being healthy enough to participating in the next world cup, that's a trophy he's yet to achieve in his carrier so he'll do all his best to help his team go far in that competition and try to win the competition if possible.

 Well Al Nassr still needs him not only for the branding but for his contributions on the training ground and pitch, during match days, he still scores a good number of goals which makes him important to the club, that's why they increased his contract.

Say that to the Arsenal board and Arsenal fans. Arteta wanted Šeško while their sporting director Berta prioritize Viktor Gyökeres. The same thing is going on in the fan base, because each fan would prefer one over the other. Well, I dont think Arsenal has a choice here, which ever of them they can get their hands on they should go. They are both very good clinical strikers. Viktor Gyökeres may be poor at scoring aerial balls but he is sure to give you many goals and assist than Šeško who have lesser stats.

Age is a player's greatest enemy, as they can't avoid the fact that it continues to age, which affects their performance. However, it's true that, compared to players his age, he's still a player who can still make an impact on the team, even if not as much as when he was younger.

I'm curious about whether he's interested in coaching, as he certainly possesses the leadership qualities a coach should possess. However, considering his passion for football, the possibility of him becoming a coach in the future is quite high.

Spurs appear to have big goals and plans for next season. Last season, they were nearly eliminated from the Premier League, finishing in 17th place. Although they have never won the Premier League title, they are known as a strong team capable of competing in the top tier of the EPL standings. And this season, Tottenham Hotspur also has a Champions League match. Returning to the Champions League, they certainly won't waste this opportunity. In the previous season, specifically in 2019, they had an extraordinary performance, reaching the Champions League final, although ultimately lost to Liverpool. However, of course, with that experience, Spurs probably have the same goal in the Champions League. Therefore, in this transfer window, they are one of the busiest clubs.

Tottenham indeed are going all out for the coming PL season, they're making big and decent transfer moves, spending over 100 million pounds within 48 hours to bring in Kudus and Morgan Gibbs-White, those are going to be great additions to the team, but I'm worried about how big the roster is becoming with likes of James Maddison, Son, Kulusevki, and Mannor Solomon all still in the team, are they also planning to offload a number of these players as well ?

🚨🔊🔊 Osimhen to Galatasaray soon!

As we all know, the previous proposal of  €70m from Galatasaray to Napoli for the African striker Victor Osimhen was rejected.
Today a new bid of €75m with €40m instant payment and €35m to be paid in installment, proposed to Napoli for the striker. The final decision is left for Napoli to make. However, I believe this should be okay to come to an agreement. Club to club agreement is expected.

Source

I guess Galatasaray fans won't eat Napolitana pizza again if Napoli rejects offer from their team. That offer seems pretty good with 40m upfront, following by 17.5m x 2, and i think the better Napoli to accept it, then end this complicated Saga. How long Napoli will be so stubborn in keeping Osimhen? I hope them have some sense when considering this offer.

Napoli must let him go, then focus on how to defend their title next season.

You are right to worry about Tottenham big squad even though new signings like Mohammed Kudus and Morgan Gibbs-White (if that deal happens) are exciting and show team wants to win. With Maddison and Son and Kulusevski and Manor Solomon already there adding more attackers makes team very crowded. It is almost certain Tottenham will sell some players as teams can not have too many expensive players in same spots especially with money rules and keeping everyone happy and playing.

Players like Richarlison, Bryan Gil, Manor Solomon, Yves Bissouma and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg could all leave. Team challenge now is to sell these players for good price without upsetting team balance. Next few weeks of transfer window will be key to see how they handle this.

It's a norms for a team that qualifies for major European tournaments to strengthen their squad or do you expect them to go into the Champions league looking weak as they were last season? No, asides that, Tottenham had a bad performance in the previous Premier league season so for such not to reoccur they've signed a coach they feel would help them improve and are giving him Premier League proven players to finish in a better position and attract more good players next season. Tottenham is not a team that performs very well in the Champions League so I'm not expecting much from them in that tournament but the current signings would improve their Premier league performance.

As I said before Real Madrid lack of pure central midfielder.

They're interested with Mac Allister from Liverpool, they don't mind to spend 100 Million Euros to get him https://www.fotmob.com/embed/news/01jzwwxf7trb/transfer-rumors-gyokeres-performs-man-utd-u-turn-real-madrid-prepare-100-million-mac-allister-bid

Although they have Elliott and Gravenberch, but they're not yet reach Mac Allister's level, it's high likely Liverpool will reject the offer.

[Oluwa-btc]

That's crazy! According to Fabrizio, Galatasaray and Napoli have a deal for the transfer of Osimhen. One of the most expensive and best strikers at the moment and he's moving to the turkish league. He will play in the CL also but the league is absolutely no challenge for him. Besides Osimhen, Galatasaray also got Icardi back from injury and Zaniolo from loan. They have a really strong team that can currently compete with the big players in Europe.

And Fenerbahce are also making one good transfer after another. Now Asensio has also arrived from Paris.

The recently sent bid will definitely be accepted. It is the exact figures wanted by Napoli president only delay is not paying it all up at the moment. It's just a matter of time,  Victor Osimhen will be the next player moving to Galatasaray. Good news ti hear Icardi is back from injury. And Fenerbahce, you know talks of Jose Mourinho winning things in his second season? This is it. They have to give him what he needs.
