⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[silpersurfer]

Galatasaray are very close to signing Osimhen. Now the expected news is close. Napoli and Galatasaray have reached an agreement on the bank guarantee and payment. Galatasaray will pay the transfer fee in installments. The clubs in the Turkish league have a lot of debts but Galatasaray is ready to do everything for Osimhen. I think Osimhen's cost is too high and it's ridiculous for a club with a medium budget like Galatasaray to sign a high cost player. Let's see if Osimhen will continue to contribute to Galatasaray.

Osimhen's transfer to Galatasaray has been a hot topic every week, but the deal has yet to be finalized. Galatasaray's finances are clearly insufficient to secure a permanent deal, but they also desperately need the Nigerian player.

Osimhen's transfer to Galatasaray was almost finalized, but Napoli suddenly reconsidered the deal due to Galatasaray's proposals for a phased transfer. Napoli is now even considering selling Osimhen to Arab club Al Hilal, which has made a higher offer.

Victor Osimehn have turn down an offer from the Arab side before, so I don’t think they can force him to join a team he’s not willing to join now. Napoli are just making the transfer of Osimehn very frustrating and I think they’re doing it deliberately just to hurt the player and he still isn’t moved by all this and standing on his words on the team he’ll join, and the wages he wants to collect from any team that wished to sign him and he’s interested in also.

If they can tell him that he’ll only train with their junior team, then it shows how they don’t want him in the club and will force him to leave this season at all cost. I think Napoli is after the big money they will get from selling him to big club, and not after his choice of team and if they fail to sell him this season, he’ll become a free player which is what they’re also not ready to welcome. The toggle is still on about his transfer, I hope he gets the best team and depart from Napoli’s team without any issues.

I wouldn't worry about Vinicius because he seems to be willing to be bought by clubs in the Saudi league.
https://talksport.com/football/3388563/real-madrid-transfer-news-saudi-pro-league-vinicius-jr/
Of course 350 million for Vinicius is a lot, but if we remember what money the Saudi league spends on players every year, I think that finding 300 million for them is quite realistic and Vinicius will probably get 3-5 times more than in the real and this is probably the minimum.

I think if Saudis are ready to spend such money, then Vinicius and Real should agree, because with the kind of game Vinicius is showing now, he will soon have to sit on the bench, unless of course Alonso wants to lose matches.

I was about to ask if you really believe this but they are so crazy over there that it could really be that they could pay >300 million for a player. Is Vini Jr. worth that amount? No way, but I'm sure the Saudis want him.

If I were Real, I wouldn't think twice about that amount and sell immediately, regardless of which player they want. In my opinion, Vini in particular is expendable and easy to replace. There was CR7 before him and if you could replace a prime CR7, you can replace Vini 100 times over.

So many uncertainties currently going on in Real Madrid right now and all is not really well especially after the inclusion of Mbappe into the club. Everything was fine well upto last season when Perez finally landed Mbappe into the team. Most of us who watch matches saw there was no total cohesion between both of them simply because in contrast both Mbappe and Vini plays from the same wing and of course you can't remove Vini to place Mbappe there so he had to play the number 9 position. But of recent, Vini wants he wages to be more than that of Mbappe since the French man earns more than him currently. His camp is demanding €30 million and this amount is more than Real Madrid wage structure which stands at €20 million. Vini could be sold this summer if they don't come to an agreement.

Mbappe's arrival was the salvation of Real Madrid's attack; the numbers speak for themselves. Look at how many goals Vinicius Jr. scored, and look at how many goals Mbappe scored, and everything becomes very clear. Vinicius can't think he's better than other players. He needs to improve in attack. He's very good at dribbling, but not good at scoring goals consistently.

Meanwhile, Mbappe has managed to change positions and still score many goals consistently. Right now, Mbappe is an extremely important player. I hope Real Madrid doesn't accept any raises for Vinicius and the other players. They need to show love for the club and not destroy it with salary increases.


As Roma wants to sign Evan Ferguso from Brighton, Evan Ferguso is only 20 years old, he plays in the attacking position, I didn't see him being a great talent, I could be wrong, but for some reason that I don't know As Roma wants to sign him

Understand AS Roma are now getting closer to signing Evan Ferguson from Brighton.

The agreement is moving to final stages with talks now ongoing to get the green light from Brighton ASAP.

Ferguson wants AS Roma and the deal is now advancing fast.

I saw somewhere that Juventus are about open interest in Osimhen deal. They probably feel Galatasaray deal is too small is what I don't understand, last I know about his move is Napoli want Galatasaray to pay them quick money but Galatasaray is given excuses to pay part by part and there isn't going to be any condition, it seems Napoli as so obsessed in his success that they want to be eating from him until he retired because tell me why you want to make money from his future sales.

There is something I don't like and it's the fact that he refuse to play for Premier league, sometimes as a player you have to compromised our pay for higher things ahead. If he has went to Chelsea as many are advising him, I'm very sure that after a season he can advance his payment with the club, more trophy more money kind of a thing but he clearly choose money before development, he will only belong to minor leagues that aren't value but built on hype.

Well I'm not doubting the number of goals his scored for the team but the thing is the fluidity of the team. Have you noticed that after Ancelotti brushed Vini, his been superb consecutively for the team? If I'm not mistaken can you mention one bad season of Vini from 2021 - 2024? Of course you can't, because his been the teams best player since that very time. But last season, immediately the team added Mbappe, Vini declined in form, isn't that supposed to be a course of concern for the team? Yes, Real Madrid will still maintain its wage policy structure and won't change it for any player.

Yes, Real Madrid will still maintain its wage policy structure and won't change it for any player.

From 2021-2024? Wasn’t the best player in this periods, the 2023/2024 season was the season he was the best player and was lined up as favourite for the Balon d’or and even at that particular period Real Madrid league highest scorer then was Jude Bellingham who was also excellent in his first season at the club. The years before that season it was Benzema who was Real Madrid best player then, but yes he was having a very good season then too. Many seemed to be blaming Mbappe for Vinicius poor season but they have failed to understand that it was the entire Real Madrid squad that was poor last season. Vinicius on his own wasn’t himself when he lost the Balon D’or and that was what affected his performance at first coupled with the Club bad season too. Rodrigo also suffered from same poor season too

There is something I don't like and it's the fact that he refuse to play for Premier league, sometimes as a player you have to compromised our pay for higher things ahead. If he has went to Chelsea as many are advising him, I'm very sure that after a season he can advance his payment with the club, more trophy more money kind of a thing but he clearly choose money before development, he will only belong to minor leagues that aren't value but built on hype.

Let me start with Juventus do not have the capacity to actually go through with this deal so I don’t see them as genuine suitors. Also I don’t see anything wrong with Osimhen trying to stick with his current wages and not looking to reduce, most at times even this clubs hardly later gives good wage increase even after good performances and Chelsea valuation were seriously too poor, but my question is while he was after huge wages why didn’t Osimhen took the juicy offer from Al Hilal and moved. People will say because he wants to play Europe but there are leagues that I personally will pick the Saudi Pro league currently Above them, in fact if you’re not in the Europe top five leagues it’s doesn’t count for me.

Osimhen's transfer to Galatasaray has been a hot topic every week, but the deal has yet to be finalized. Galatasaray's finances are clearly insufficient to secure a permanent deal, but they also desperately need the Nigerian player.

Osimhen's transfer to Galatasaray was almost finalized, but Napoli suddenly reconsidered the deal due to Galatasaray's proposals for a phased transfer. Napoli is now even considering selling Osimhen to Arab club Al Hilal, which has made a higher offer.

Napoli is the bad side of Osimhen’s deal that is why you don’t see many teams coming for him; the only strong team willing to have him is Galatasaray and it is simply because of his performances last season when spent one year with them on loan. Napoli are trying their best to milk a lot of money from his deal, and they don’t want him to join bigger team so that his career will just go down, but I am very sure if Galatasaray completed his move, he will still fight for better opportunities there because he will score goals to attract all these big teams that don’t see him as a good striker all because of how Napoli painted him to them.

The player don’t want to join Saudi Pro League, he still want to remain in the European space to prove him selves especially to the teams that feel he is not good enough. Napoli will letter finalize the deal with Galatasaray and Galatasaray will be the beneficial of this deal because with just one or two seasons, Osimhen will worth huge amount of money for them, that’s why Napoli is trying to put some conditions to the deal.

Manchester United is monitoring Jackson now. His future is becoming uncertain with the came of Delap and Pedro to the Chelsea's squad.  It means a competition to be the number one in the striker position is just getting even harder. It makes sense if United is looking for PL proven striker instead of repeat the same mistakes they did last seasons.
The only problem is Chelsea wanted 100m for him, which is a very hard to be fulfilled by MU. It will be so good to see him goes to the MU. 

I hope MU can offload their current strikers, then buy Jackson out from Chelsea.

I personally don't think that he's the player than Manchester United needs right now. I'm not a fan, but I can certainly tell you that United fans would go absolutely crazy when they see this deal. £100M evaluation is too massive for a striker that isn't clinical enough. Who knows, Manchester united might be able to get him for an affordable amount if well negotiated, but the fans are absolutely going to go wild.

So far as good, they haven't seen a striker yet.
The whole Oshimen saga isn't favoring them, so they have to look elsewhere. The funny thing is, they've put a couple of players for sale, but Hojlund and Zirkzee are not even part of them. I'm starting to doubt if they are even ready to compete for next season.

True, Juventus is interested in signing Osimhen but Napoli management seems no intention to sell Osimhen to Juventus. There are some obstacles, including political tension issues between Napoli and Juventus. So, it is impossible that Osimhen moves to Juventus. Recently, I heard that Galatasaray and Napoli has reached the agreement. Osimhen will join Galatasaray permanently, so there will be no more issues for another team.

I am also a bit disappointed that Osimhen didn't join EPL teams. But we must understand that some players think realistically. They prefer money to improve their life status. The career won't guarantee anything in the future. So we can't blame him because it is his right to choose any team. If we were him, we may also prefer money than career.

The Osimhen transfer seems quite complicated, and Napoli themselves are holding back their desire to let him go, and the closure of Osimhen's move to Galatasaray seems to be facing problems. Napoli wants to make a significant profit on the player and will certainly consider selling him to a team willing to pay a high price. If Galatasaray fails to secure Osimhen's permanent deal, I'm sure a Saudi Arabian club will be Osimhen's next destination.

Although Osimhen himself once said he wanted to play for a much bigger team, the transfer scenario did not work out well and now other big teams in Europe seem to have lost interest in recruiting him because Napoli is asking a fairly high price.

As Roma wants to sign Evan Ferguso from Brighton, Evan Ferguso is only 20 years old, he plays in the attacking position, I didn't see him being a great talent, I could be wrong, but for some reason that I don't know As Roma wants to sign him

Ferguson wants AS Roma and the deal is now advancing fast.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1945921154704654407

Evan's transfer reasonable only if Roma wants to add more depth, and help them in rotating their players. I think he's a mid striker. He's completely failed in Brighton, and he must to go to the new club to get minutes. So, he makes it right by moving to the Roma, but the problem is that his price. His club prices him £28 million, and it's too big for him.

If roma can negotiate to pay less than £25 million, the better they take him. Also brighton wants mandatory buy clause, and don't wanna commit with option to buy.

If Napoli doesn't act fast and allow Osimhen go to the club of his choice, they'll become the loser when his contract expires. I feel that Napoli management is not looking it from this angle because they feel they have the power to dictate for Osimhen which club to go to. Osimhen does not give a fuck about all these and he didn't allow that to affect his performance.

[tygeade]

I think no one will even think of saying that, that guy really did well at Atlanta and still doing it  just as we all know so such fee shouldn't be too, although I expect people to talk because even when they know that this guy is giving out his very best which I see that's good to a very large extent, I think what I just see here is that people wouldn't want see anything good coming out of there of their fellow human, we are talking about a good footballer as such, some person that feels that they fee is high may be they want him to just be for free, I wouldn't want to say much on this again but it is very annoying to see people trying to talk down on our own.

Plus, in many cases teams do not sell the player for the players worth on the other team, they sell it for what he worths on their own team. So if Lookman is a player that they feel like they would have super hard time replacing, that means he worths a lot more to Atlanta than Inter, because at Inter, if Inter got Lookman, they could also pay the same amount and get someone else, maybe someone even better, or maybe someone who is close enough.

Whereas, in this case, we are not seeing that for Atlanta, even if Atlanta sold him for 100+ million, who could they offer 100 million and can get? All those players who are worth a ton of money, wants to play for a bigger better team so Atlanta is only restricted with players who wants to play for them. They already have Lookman, finding someone who is willing to play for them AND be as good as Lookman would be very tough.

[joniboini]

I'm very surprised to read that Liverpool has already contacted Ekitike and got a personal commitment from him. Sounds like it's moving very fast because a few days ago the rumour said they haven't even begun any talk yet. Seems like both clubs also want to get the deal done quickly since another report claims they want to finish it in the next 24 hours or so.

The reaction from social media seems to be mixed, so it's up to him to prove whether he'll score goals or not.

Osimhen does not give a fuck about all these and he didn't allow that to affect his performance.

Napoli Management's relationship with Osimhen is very bad.  This is what we saw last season. Last season Osimhen was in great form , yet Napoli management did not keep Osimhen squad in the squad. Napoli management for Osimhen demanded a much larger amount of Amount. As a result, they can not  sell Osimhen to the end. In this season, the scenario is completely confusing. Napoli management can yet reach a conclusion about Osimhen. But I think napoli would benefit if they put Osimhen in their squad. Maybe Napoli earn a big amount by selling Osimhen. Napoli's forward would have been more stronger if they kept Osimhen in the squad.

[coinlocket$]

Looks like the 1st bid from Inter to Atalanta for Lookman of 40m€ has been rejected.
According to rumors Atalanta wants 50-55 mil € for the player.

The player if it will go to InterMilan will take the place of Chalanogulu in the pitch.
The Turkish player manifested the intention to going to play in his homecountry.

[ajanwalker]

Yesterday, sports channels reported that Napoli and Galatasaray had reached an agreement on everything, with the expected signings under the hood. Osimhen has been talked about for a long time, whether positive or negative, and we'd better get this transfer saga over with and then we can all relax.
After completing Osimhen's transfer, Galatasaray will make a goalkeeper and midfielder move, but first they need to let go of some of the players they signed last year.
Cuesta, for example, was paid a substantial transfer fee for him, but he hasn't contributed to the team at all. He's likely leaving the club.
Galatasaray reportedly wants former Bayern player Sacha Boey, but Boey is out of form, and if this transfer goes through, Galatasaray will regret it.

[Inwestour]

If Napoli doesn't act fast and allow Osimhen go to the club of his choice, they'll become the loser when his contract expires. I feel that Napoli management is not looking it from this angle because they feel they have the power to dictate for Osimhen which club to go to. Osimhen does not give a fuck about all these and he didn't allow that to affect his performance.

Osimhen's contract with Napoli ends in the summer of 2026, and right now it makes no sense for them to loan him out for another year because in a year he will become a free agent and Napoli will get nothing for him. So if I were them, I wouldn’t cancel the deal with Galatasaray, especially since they have already agreed on almost everything. It's better to make some compromises on the payment terms now than to let Osimhen leave as a free agent next year.

[el kaka22]

Sporting president is making one mistake, which is going back on his word, otherwise asking for a lot of money isn't really wrong at all. If he just came out and said "hey , I want 100 million, that's it" and that was the last of it,  then anyone who paid 100 million would get him, that is even more than right now, and nobody could say anything, Gyokeres is a player under contract and the team decides how much they want, end of story.

The issue was, Gyokeres and Arsenal worked out a deal, where Gyokeres and even his agent is making less, just to make sure this deal happens, and Sporting gave a number, which everyone worked towards, but then, Sporting wanted more, and that's the real issue here. If you give a price, you stick to that price, you do not change it higher when that price is matched, that was the bad part of this deal.
