⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Majestic-milf]

 I think Liverpool's signings have been making the headline with the recent player that joined the club from Frankfurt Hugo Ekitike, that Liverpool signed for €95m, like you all know that his performance in the concluding season was better than some attackers in the Bundesliga with him scoring 22 goals in 48 games across all competitions last campaign for Frankfurt as he helped them qualify for the Champions League, what a way to let himself known.
 And it got me wondering if he can bring such display to the EPL since we have seem some players who have been doing well in other leagues but coming to the EPL they become a shadow of themselves but on this case Liverpool have seen Hugo Ekitike as one who can make the team to be unstoppable next season, if that be the case then can it happen that the player can showcase all those scoring form in the EPL and maybe help Liverpool defend their title next season? And again, does Hugo Ekitike worth that amount?

Between these number 20s Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle have signed, who's going to be at their best next season?

[sokani]

True, he agrees to cut his wage from 300k weekly to the 80k weekly. I was surprised he did it just to join in Barcelona. He decreased his wage for almost 80%. That's crazy he did everything wear Barcelona's shirt. It gives me vibes he doesn't care to the MU.

Your figure is not correct. According to goal.com, it said Rashford took a 25% pay cut to facilitate the deal. He was earning £300k per week at Manchester United.

So 25% decrease of 300k will be 75k.

To know the current salary, 300k - 75k = 225k.

It means he will be earning £225 per week at Barcelona.

I was also surprised when I saw that figure, for a team he hasn't played for before, he agreed to such pay cut form 300k to 80k something his refused to do for the team his been playing for 9 years. Thanks for the clarification that it was a 25% pay cut and not 80%. well I can only wish him well in his new team and I hope that least he will play better since his joining a team that good with the ball.

Inter is going for Lookman.
The player given the ok fro the tranfer from Atalanta to Inter.
Atalanta is asking for 50mil €.
The past year the player 15 goals in Serie A.
He is not so young, 27 years old.

Do you think it is worth to spend such money for a player at his age?

I admire Ademola Lookman’s playing style and pace which is something Inter Milan will be needing for their coming season. I think 50 mil is a fair price to be fair. He is still young and currently in his prime what do you expect. If he was an English player he will probably be carrying 70 mil price tag this summer.

Well, Lookman is a highly skilled players like his creativity with rapid speed is impressive. Probably his arrival to the Inter Milan team will make some vibrant impact on the team performance because he has a lot of qualities, and also he is still young. 15 goals in a year is quite impressive, although in the Italian league all the teams have strong defensive tactics, but even so, he spotted a 15 goals.

Definitely if he was at in the English league, then indeed his value would be considered €70-90 million because his age is not too old and also his performance level is outstanding as compared to his age.... Anyway, his current value is €60 million, and beyond any doubt, €60 million is a fair enough price to pay for him to his club.

[xzone]

United is interested in Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea. I am sure it would be a terrible transfer, no idea why they want him, considering how terrible he has done. Hojlund could score that many goals, it is not like Nicolas had any better season. They need a prolific scorer and so far they do not have any candidates even.

That is the thing about United, they are not getting the known famous good players, they are making moves based on premier league stats so far this season. They saw Cunha and Mbuemo have good stats in premier league and bought. Think of the worst possible way of transferring players, which would be looking at their football manager or FIFA ratings and then buy accordingly, even THAT would be better transfer method than what United is doing.

United needs to sign much better players. We know the kind of squad and level of play the club has had in recent years; they need to build a much better squad. Otherwise, there's no way this team can reach a good level. If they consider finishing among the top 10 teams in the league a success, they can continue with this squad. But the team needs significant changes as soon as possible. They need to sign a European-class striker; they'll continue to struggle in the Premier League

[EL MOHA]

Between these number 20s Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle have signed, who's going to be at their best next season?

To be honest all of this players can be impactful on their respective clubs but the real question is whether they will get the playing time that the deserve because it is on this playing time that I think the difference will come for them.

First is Joao Pedro at Chelsea, this guy already is giving glimpses that he will be a bargain signing at the club. A is a better finisher than all of the Chelsea strikers currently and with his previous experience and performance in the premier league and with this new Chelsea squad that are seriously not lacking in creating chances I think this lad will score many goals. For impact on the team he will certainly be one of reason they will win some silverware next season because the burden of goals taking off Cole Palmer with another player pushing similar numbers like him will be vital for Chelsea

Secondly is Mohammadu Kudus, the Tottenham wingers have reduce or lack sharpness since the decline in Hung Min Son form as I expect Kudus to work into the first team and with his goal scoring ability and pace I think he will be a good impact player for Tottenham.

Thirdly is Anthony Elanga, anybody that watches Newcastle will know that if Elanga makes it into the team and his on his form, his combination with Isak will be a problem for defenders most especially if they are breaking away

Lastly which will be less impactful among the four is Noni Madeuke, taking nothing away from him but the question is can he get more minutes than the like of Saka? I don’t think so, can he play the left wing position? That’s another problem but if he gets into the first team and has the backing of the manager he will certainly be impactful for the team

so that’s how my ranking is

Congratulations to Ademola Lookman on this massive move! This is the news I want to hear, I’m genuinely excited to see Inter breathing fire next season. Lookman is a highly skilled winger and truly reflects the value of modern wide players in world football today.
It’s a bit disappointing that he won’t be teaming up with Kamaldeen Sulemana at Atalanta next season, that duo could’ve been pure fireworks for any opposition. Still, the excitement of seeing him at Inter outweighs everything. I can’t wait for the new season to kick off and watch the improvements unfold.
Lookman’s enhanced finishing, overall tactics make him a real threat, especially against deep blocks. He brings pace, tactical variety, and Champions League-level experience exactly what Inter’s front line needs.

[Liliana1304]

Between these number 20s Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle have signed, who's going to be at their best next season?

You can't really predict yet about either of them but at least for Joao Pedro, we've seen his performance in the club World Cup. If I'm not mistaken he had 3- 4 goals so it'd safe to say he would have a head start amongst all of them.

[Despairo]

Between these number 20s Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle have signed, who's going to be at their best next season?

Madueke and Elanga weren't really good in their previous teams, they also need to compete with the other players. In Arsenal they have Martinelli, in Newcastle United they have Barnes.

So I will rank it:
1. Joao Pedro
2. Mohammed Kudus
3. Noni Madueke
4. Anthony Elanga

United is interested in Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea. I am sure it would be a terrible transfer, no idea why they want him, considering how terrible he has done. Hojlund could score that many goals, it is not like Nicolas had any better season. They need a prolific scorer and so far they do not have any candidates even.

So they wanna spend for 100 Million Euros to get another shit player?

I thought they sign Mbeumo to play as a striker, but they're still looking for a new striker.

🚨💣 BREAKING: Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool, here we go!

Deal in place for fee over €90m for the French striker to join from Eintracht Frankfurt, potentially reaching €95m.

Six year deal for Ekitike, valid until June 2031; he only wanted Liverpool move.

New striker for Slot 🇫🇷


https://x.com/fabrizioromano/status/1946857051520376856

Who’s next?

Liverpool is really showing their preparedness ahead of next season's games with actions. Addiction of Hugo Ekitike is a good boost to the squad and i think that with the structure of the team right now, the absence of Diogo Jota due to his demise will not be felt so much. Seems Liverpool is at the top of the transfer market with wonderful signings because they have made quite some quality signings ever since the transfer market opened. Hugo Ekitike scored 15 goals for E. Frankfurt last season and i think he will perform better now that he have made his way to a big team like Liverpool.

Who's next? do you think they still need more signings? they've got all they want so i do not think any more signings will be necessary though we never can tell anyways

I'm sorry, that's my bad. I just see it from a tweet in X. However, we're both wrong.  Rashford finally agrees to take only 15% from his 300k salary, which is giving us 270k per week. It's crazy to see Barcelona agrees to cover all of his salary include bonus. I think it's too much for a rotation player, and not guarantee him can be a game changer for Barcelona as well.

Who’s next?

A good transfer but very expensive in my opinion, because Ekitike has been a good player in the Bundesliga but will he manage to play as well in the Premier League? He wasn't a player in the Bundesliga where you could say he absolutely dominated. That's why this is a gamble by Liverpool, but the player is young and has a lot of potential.

[GiftedMAN]

Between these number 20s Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle have signed, who's going to be at their best next season?

They're all good player, fast rising stars that's why they're being sorted after by Champions League playing teams but amongst all I think Pedro is the most likely to do better he's already proved himself worthy for Chelsea in the Club World Cup and scored several goals including a goal in the finals, Elanga is another player I feel would do better.

[tiCeR]

€75 million in total is not that much for any of the major clubs. It's probably about the position being free and going through most of those major clubs, I don't know wich one us currently looking for a center forward like Osimhen.

There are not many clubs in Europe who would be willing to pay €75m for a player and for Napoli this would be the 2nd most expensive sale in the club's history!

If Osimhen were to be sold for €75m he would be one of the top 50 most expensive sales ever and that's not something you see every day. In the 24/25 season there were perhaps only a few players who were sold for such high sums, I think there were certainly no more than 3-4 players! So selling Osimhen for that price won't be that easy.

It seems to be expensive, but the times have changed so much and they have many different ways to finance these transfers. Sometimes they pay in tranches over more than one year, sometimes a lot of the transfer fee depends on bonuses, they can make all kinds of arrangements to get these transfers done and you will always have one club at least who is driving the price. If there is one club willing to pay €50 million and then Manchester City cones by and says they would pay €65 million, there isn't much these other clubs can do other than pay the price that Napoli wants to have Osimhen.

10 years ago it would have been different, but these prices have been inflated for a long time now and Napoli knows there will be someone paying the €75 million. It could be out of unforeseen emergency because during the preparation time a striker gets injured for example and a club has to act. All these things happened before and will happen again. I think it is quite safe that Osimhen will be sold for a price around €70 million.

Madueke and Elanga weren't really good in their previous teams, they also need to compete with the other players. In Arsenal they have Martinelli, in Newcastle United they have Barnes.

So I will rank it:
1. Joao Pedro
2. Mohammed Kudus
3. Noni Madueke
4. Anthony Elanga

Their success will depend on how much the coaches try to help them develop and the playing time they get too. Pedro looks to already have a place in the Chelsea team. Maduele will have to fight for his position, the same as Kudus and Elanga.

So they wanna spend for 100 Million Euros to get another shit player?

I thought they sign Mbeumo to play as a striker, but they're still looking for a new striker.

I thought it was Cunha to play as striker. The choices MU makes sometimes are strange.

Yeah, I agree — the wage still looks massive for someone who probably won’t be a guaranteed starter. From a football point of view, Rashford could actually fit Barça’s system pretty well. He’s fast, dangerous on the counter, good at cutting in from the wing and beating his man. But let’s be honest — this move feels more like patching a hole than strengthening the squad long-term.

I see him more as a player coming off the bench for the last 20–30 minutes, maybe making an impact in certain games. And that can be valuable. But for the salary he’s reportedly on, you’d expect someone more consistent, both mentally and on the pitch. Sadly, Rashford hasn’t looked like that for a while now.

[Adbitco]

According to an ESPN report, it says that Liverpool are interested in landing the Brazilian from Real Madrid since they've noticed that he might be available for transfer. But it's understood that no official bid has been placed yet for him as at the time of the report. Personally, i would love for Rodrygo to leave and go play elsewhere, at least he will be having playing time. If possible let him just go to Saudi where his guaranteed a starting eleven and a huge pay to accompany that alongside.

Yes Liverpool have indicated their interest in signing the Brazilian winger from Real Madrid but only if Real Madrid are willing to sell this summer and Real Madrid have released a huge 100 million price tag for him. It is now left to player to decide his future and then have talks with interested clubs on personal terms and club to club agreement.

100 million is too huge as price tag for Rodrygo, after all he is not as productive as he was before. I don't even think that Rodrygo is interested in moving out of Real Madrid, just that the club is willing to let him go but that amount is huge. Though i heard that Arsenal is also interested in the player but Liverpool looks more serious to sign him. Rodrygo and Real Madrid are still in talks already, hopefully they will reveal their resolution soon.  

In as much as the price is high, it's still this transfer window that we have seen so many players command a transfer fee that in reality they are not worth it. But because of the inflation and clubs tends to take advantage of it, just price tag their players and the clubs that wants them still end up buying because if they don't buy, another club will come for them. That's were we are now, the market is something else and that's just the truth of the matter.

[SatoPrincess]

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.

Their toxic relationship with Victor Osimhen won’t matter anymore as Napoli and Galatasaray have finally reached agreement in fees for Victor Osimhen and it will only be a matter of time before a move is completed and we will no longer be discussing this issue between Osimhen and Napoli. I am happy for Osimhen that he will finally get his preferred club next season.

[yenerbatmaz]

Between these number 20s Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle have signed, who's going to be at their best next season?

I believe Joao Pedro is the player who will perform best.
He already showed signs of this at the Club World Cup.
Kudus never quite made the breakthrough expected of him.
Madueke is also a standout player, but Chelsea kept Pedro because Joao and Madueke share a similar style, and sold Madueke to Arsenal.
