⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[asriloni]

Osimhen almost done to Galatasary for a 75m€ +5 bonus deal.

Napoli is successfully fooling Galatasaray with this transfer. You only mention €80M transfer fees, but forget 10% cut for the future sales of Osimhen, and a clause not sale him to the italian clubs for two years.

This news is really disheartening for all of Galatasaray fans. Their club totally outplayed by ADL in this transfer. They pay the same amount like when Napoli bought him five years ago.

Also disappointed with how Osimhen will spend his prime in turkish.

These are players that I will surely be looking out for next season. Next season should be their breakout season and I am expecting big things to come from these players. I hope Madueke shines for Arsenal and shuts his critics, he is a good player and has a good atmosphere to showcase his qualities next season.

Madueke is an incredible player no doubt but I don't think he is what the Gunners need at the moment and up till now I haven't figure it out how or what made Arteta to look in that direction of buying the player. You have more than 3 wingers and you still go for Madueke or is Saka's time running up at Arsenal? Those areas needs better challenge like adding Rodrygo from Madrid instead.
There's no harm in expanding the squad ahead of the very busy season but how are they going to manage with a player who's almost like Martinelli in all aspects only that Madueke knows when to release the ball except he hasn't activated that side of him being all about himself while Martinelli don't know what to do with the in a one on one situation. I might be wrong at the end of everything about Madueke but I wish to see him convince I and all the Arsenal fans that he is better for the team.

It seems that not only Galatasaray were fooled by Napoli in the matter of signing Osimhen, but this also impacted the player himself. A player of his caliber who had the opportunity to succeed at a much bigger club ultimately had to stay at Galatasaray.
Napoli truly exploited the conditions for Osimhen's signing so they wouldn't lose out by letting him go.
If this news is true then I don't think Osimhen will achieve his best career in Europe because playing in a club that doesn't offer big trophies will make his name sink even further in the next few seasons, this is really a big loss because Osimhen has the potential to be a good striker in Europe.

Frankfurt really took a big advantage of this player because last year they brought in Hugo Ekitike from PSG for only 16.5 million imagine how much profit they will make in just a year   On the other hand we know Liverpool needs a new generation for strikers to anticipate if Mo Salah retires but the transfer fee for 90-95 million is very expensive, does Liverpool management see Hugo Ekitike as a player for the future? because in my opinion overall the performance is just average.

Eintracht Frankfurt really earned much profitable after success selling their striker Hugo Ekitike for Liverpool with 90 million euro, its worth it profitable earned by Frankfurt because spent around 16.5 million euro for signing him last season from PSG. Regarding Hugo Ekitike performance and statistic last season, I think most expensive fund spent by Liverpool for signing him around 90 million euro such as have many top striker with better statistic than Hugo Ekitike.

Last season, Hugo Ekitike scoring 15 goals, 8 assists of 33 appearance in Bundesliga and almost played all matches at domestic league for Frankfurt, Liverpool really need new forward after losing Diogo Jota and make competitive for attacking line position because still have Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo, Luiz Diaz and Mohamad Salah. Wish Hugo Ekitke can adapt well for first season with Liverpool how difficulty for playing at premier league huge pressure every games.

Napoli has being fooling many clubs that have shown keen interest on signing Osimhen. Last season PSG was really serous on signing Osimhen but Napoli used the request of some funds to deny them the deal. I am not surprised that Napoli did this to Galatasaray because they see Osimhen as their asset.

I am not surprised that Napoli did this to Galatasaray because they see Osimhen as their asset.

This shows that Napoli is afraid if Oshimen is recruited by one of the European clubs, especially for fellow Italian clubs and of course Napoli will meet Oshimen as an opponent while Oshimen himself is a striker who is still very good, who knows what is in Napoli's mind, they are really selfish and do not think about this player who actually wants to play in the European league but he has to be locked in the Turkish league for several seasons, this is not only detrimental to the player but also the club that bought him on with the requirements.

I don't think a player like Hugo will be a shadow of himself at Liverpool. They’ve nailed it with their signings, and this is truly an incredible deal. Scoring 22 goals in 48 games across all competitions is a solid achievement. I believe he’ll only continue to grow and improve at Liverpool.When it comes to form, i think he’ll be able to carry it over, and it’ll be especially important how much playing time he gets early on. If he proves himself, i don’t think there will be any issues.It’s definitely possible for Liverpool to defend the title in my opinion, they’re even one of the main contenders for winning the Champions League with this squad. We’ll see if everything falls into place. As for Ekitike’s price, i do think it’s a bit too much, but that’s football and that’s business.

This striker has got a good record . From joining Eintract Frankfurt from Reims in February 2024 on loan before making it a permanent deal in April of same year, the guy has scored a total of 26 goals which is quite a good record if you ask me but still not enough to buy him for that amount as purchasing him for that fee is outrageous. See, no one is putting eyes on Liverpool cause aren't they breaching the Financial Fair Play rules, cause they have acquired just two players and the figure has amounted to almost €216m if not more.
 I bet you that eyes would be so much on this Ekitike guy to see if he can perform up to the amount he was purchased for, if he's worth it. It's not like people won't look at Florian wirtz who was bought for €116m but being that Hugo is the striker, many will be out to check for any errors with which they can use to blast the club with.

I have not known Liverpool to be a big spender in the English premier league since I started watching football in 2002, but this their new behavior really surprised me especially now that they are extremely good, that they are the defending champions.
If it was a team like Manchester united that is spending like this, I wouldn't be surprised that much because they are just coming from a terrible season and rebuilding is seriously needed, not Liverpool that still has a lot of firepower in their ranks even though they lost Diego jota to the hands of death.

Can this two big money players Florian wirtz and ekitike live up to their hypes?
That's what we can't conclude yet because the season hasn't got started, but one thing am quite sure of which you have already said is that the pressure will be much on them both, base on the higher amount of money spend to bring them to Anfield.

Yes, they're using Osimhen, but he needs to be a player who can be used in this capacity. He currently has one year left on his contract with Napoli, and if he's not transferred this transfer window, he'll be forced to let go next year without earning anything from Napoli. Therefore, I think they should allow him to transfer to Galatasaray this window. They forced the terms against Paris Saint-Germain and had the transfer cancelled, but they later agreed on Kvaratskhelia. Now, I think they'll definitely reach an agreement with Galatasaray.

  "

Can someone explain to me exactly what’s going on with my team Arsenal over Victor Guokeres deal?
The deal is taknig time more than expected, and it seems like Manchester United wants to hijack the player from Arsenal even though the player made it clear that Arsenal is the team he wants to join. Arsenal should act fast.

It appear to be the delay is not due to Gueyeres's preference, he has already drawn up it clearly that Arsenal is top priority, but Sporting and Arsenal are still stuck in bonus structure chat, particularly over executable add-ons vs guaranteed payments. This has given United and even Juve a window, with bids reportedly in the region of €70-80 million, however Gueyeres yet wants Arsenal. Arsenal need to finalise terms fast, otherwise risk a costly rip-off, you know this is a time of crisis, not just bargaining."

The latest report says Amorim still keen to sign a new striker and midfielder, but guess who? I hope he will consider Jackson from Chelsea. I'd like to see Jackson to wear Manchester United's shirt instead of Sesko. Why? Jackson has also proven himself to be among top scorer in EPL. Meanwhile, what about Sesko? Just another flop like Hojlund/Zirkzee.

As for the new midfielder, hard to guess it as they still linked to none. Maybe, Douglas Luiz?

To me I will say it's not Napoli's fault but Galatasaray's, like the Turkish giant and their fans are too desperate for osimhen to remain in that team based on the good result given to them by him last season, I can still remember when Napoli wanted about €55 for him but now that they've seen how desperate Galatasaray needs him they want to seize the moment for a major cash out on osimhen, and again deep down within me I don't just really buy that idea of osimhen playing there in the Turkish league, like that place really can't give him the kind of profile he desire, but in all I wish him best of luck.

And yet, Napoli got what they wanted, Galatasaray will get Osimhen, but they will have to pay €40 million right away and €35 million over the course of one year. In addition, they will give up 10% of the future profit, as I understand it, from any future transfers. And for two years, Osimhen is not allowed to return to any Italian club. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such strict conditions before. But most likely, this is due to the nature of Napoli’s management. Still, Galatasaray achieved their goal, they got Osimhen. I think Osimhen should also be happy with this transfer, because he feels good at Galatasaray, scores a lot, so it looks like everyone will be satisfied in the end.

It's so hard for Rashford to challenge Raphinha for LW position. it sounds too good to be true, but let him put all of his efforts to make it happen. I believe Flick will give him some minutes to know how good he is. He can still alternatively play as a striker, and that's obvious become Lewandowski's backup as well.
I only wonder what kind of mechanism Barcelona's agreement with MU regarding his salary. It seems to me Barcelona shares his salary with MU 50:50. It's same like what Aston Villa did last season.

My thought is that Rashford would be used more as a backup striker for Lewandowski than a winger cause I see no reason why Flick would bench Rashford for Raphinha that's at his prime and doing very well in the team. Well I don't know if Manchester United would accept a loan deal since they need to sell so they'll buy their remaining target but in a case where a loan deal is accepted then both club would share the wage on a 50:50 scale.

It will be a really tough contest for Rashford to compete with Raphinha next season. Rashford is very likely to lose in this battle if we are being realistic about this. I know he impressed for Aston Villa but against Raphinha it will be a different challenge. I hope he is able to do well at Barcelona though.

Just another flop like Hojlund/Zirkzee.

As for the new midfielder, hard to guess it as they still linked to none. Maybe, Douglas Luiz?

After the Match against Leeds he made it clear that the team is lacking strength and pace in the midfield I think he's indirectly telling the board that he needs some additional player in that area, I've heard names like Rios, Luiz, Ederson, Javi Guerra, it's tough to guess which would be the preferred option but let's see it the board would attend to his need concerning that. As for a striker, Romano Fabrizio said that Manchester United would sign an important striker and the current options I can think of is Kolo Muani, Sesko, Vlahovic and Ollie Watkins. I've also heard about Jackson but it would be so fucked if Manchester United end of with Jackson as their top choice for that position, Sesko is more better than every name I've listed and would make a better upgrade to Zirkzee and Hodjlund.

Playing at a Saudi Arabian club is not the time for Rodrygo, at his age and there are still many clubs interested then he should take the option of a European club. I think any club interested in Rodrygo will not lose with the contribution he will make. Liverpool must be serious about taking him, but his name is also a Real Madrid player it is impossible to be priced cheaply and it is a fair price, big names, players and prices must adjust.

I think Rodrygo considers a moves to Saudi Arabia as a wrong move at this time of his career and rather favors a move that keeps him in Europe, he has been linked to Arsenal in recent weeks. I also agree that any club that gets to sign Rodrygo will be grateful in years to come that they did, I really wish it would be Arsenal that gets to sign Rodrygo and he comes to the EPL.

I don't believe in such wild speculations because I know Napoli needs money, so far many clubs are interested in Osimhen but almost all of them are hampered by transfer fees and salaries and for now only Galatasaray is willing to negotiate. I've said it many times If Napoli does not release Osimhen in this transfer window then next season Napoli will lose 70 million because Osimhen will leave for free (his contract expires on June 30, 2026) so if you Napoli owner, what would you do?

At first I was hoping Osimhen would move to the Premier League but somehow the elite EPL teams have other alternatives with almost the same quality but with lower fees/salaries, but yeah Osimhen still has time for the next few seasons come to the EPL.

Arsenal are indeed the closest, and rumor has it they have made an offer to Madrid. But not only Arsenal, Liverpool was also rumored to be interested, but they are also waiting for the completion of the transfer of their released players. Not only from the Premier League, Barcelona is also rumored to be interested in bringing Rodrygo, although I am also not quite sure of their seriousness.
Many European clubs still have an interest in Rodrygo. I think there is no reason for him to move to Saudi to enrich himself at an age that is still very productive for competition in Europe's top leagues.

I am not surprised that Napoli did this to Galatasaray because they see Osimhen as their asset.

Now you observe the situation of Osimhen and Napoli you will understand that transfers are very logical, Yes Osimhen is there asset and he is being paid a very huge wage by Napoli, So if he has to leave the club and whichever club that wants Osimhen will have to pay up there asking price, and this is a player I think has a buyout clause so Galatasaray wants the player they have to pay the asking price or negotiate the price which is what they did, if they couldn’t pay the asking price they will have to move on from the player, Now if you also analyze the situation of Darwin Nunez with Napoli, Napoli wants the player and Liverpool have told them Pay up the asking price and they couldn’t pay up and they have to move on to other targets. Right now that is how transfers are, a player only has a right to control a club when he is in the last year of his contract. So it’s you either pay up or you move on to other targets. Or the player can decide to leave for free if he is in the last year of his contract.

You're right. Liverpool aren't the type of club that spends much on players and the only big spending Jurgen Klopp made in his tenure was €75m on Virgil van dijk from Southampton in 2018. Last season under Arne Slot, the only player they bought was Federico Chiesa so I guess they've decided to splurge on more. You know the saying that to whom much is given much is expected so it goes without saying that these two would have to work hard to prove to the fans as much as critics that they deserve the money spent on them.
