⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Phoenix Anka]

What could Arne Slot and his Liverpool side be planning for next season? They already have Ekitike already signed and sealed bringing in Isak again is something else, the thought of it alone scares me lol. However Newcastle are still reluctant to let him leave even though Isak has indicated that he will like to try a new challenge elsewhere.

If you look at Liverpool transfers this season you might be scared of them next season by mere looking at the players they've signed. But most times it's not always like that.

Liverpool signed Ekitike who is not yet EPL proven, but Isak is a goal machine. The idea of also signing Rodrygo if he leaves Real Madrid is one to also consider. Their plan is to dominate the EPL for the next 5 years with the players they are willing to sign.

The Premier League has 38 matches, so there's no need to overstate the fearsome Liverpool squad. I mean no matter how consistent Liverpool are they'll inevitably have their weakest. As a Liverpool supporter, I remain rational and understand that anything can happen, no matter how strong your squad is. Even in the Premier League we often see the strongest teams lose to underdogs.

Because the Premier League is one of the toughest leagues in the world. Even strong teams have the potential to lose every match. That's why it's the most followed league in the world. Every player dreams of being part of this competition. It would be truly amazing to be part of next year's exciting atmosphere. Last year, two teams at the bottom of the Premier League reached the Europa League final. We can all see how powerful and unexpected this league is.

I didn't know Juventus was still interested in Kolo Muani.  

His Serie A performance wasn't bad at all last season. He was absolutely much more effective than he was at PSG. He could really be the worst deal ever for the French side as they bought him for 95 million euros...

Now his market value has dropped to 30 million. Juventus must have seen the opening there to go for him permanently.

Juventus coach and fans was not comfortable with Juventus performance last season that led the team not to win any title. I think this is a good opportunity for Juventus to sign kolo Muani to make their attack stronger in the next season, i know that Juventus is not financially strong to afford such amount of fund to buy those strikers many teams are  wishing to have in their team in this season, because of the high price making some teams not to buy them in this summer, I have that confidence that Juventus will be able to spend $30 million to sign kolo Muani in this summer to eliminate some of the challenges they encounter last season.

Is Juventus trying to sign this player permanently? Or are they looking to re-loan him from PSG? Given Juventus' current financial situation, I think Juventus will likely only try to re-loan him from PSG. However, there are reports that several Premier League clubs are also interested in signing him.

However, if Juventus manages to secure this player permanently, it would be truly exciting news for the club. Kolo Muani has indeed proven his fit at Juventus, scoring eight goals in 16 appearances for the club. This means he has scored in almost every two matches he has played.

And I like the ambition Juventus has shown in this transfer window. Although the team is actually quite modest financially, they are very active in the transfer market. So far, Juventus has already secured seven new players. They are:

- Francisco Conceição (Right Wing)
- Nico González (Right Wing)
- Lloyd Kelly (Center-Back)
- Pierre Kalulu (Center-Back)
- Michele Di Gregorio (Goalkeeper)
- João Mário (Right-Back)
- Jonathan David (Center-Forward)

And I think what Juventus is currently lacking is a striker. So, if Juventus manages to acquire Kolo Muani, then Juventus will be quite well-equipped in bringing in new players in this transfer window.

I'm also waiting for the latest news on Jadon Sancho.

Even in the Premier League we often see the strongest teams lose to underdogs.

The season is a long one, and consistency is crucial for all teams until the end. That's why every team builds a balanced squad so that player rotation doesn't significantly impact team performance, and more importantly, to maintain consistency.

Liverpool haven't made many changes, and while some of the changes have made many pessimistic, I think that's partly due to their success last season, which suggests the team is already strong enough. I think Arne Slot knows what the team needs best, especially since he was quite successful in improving the team's performance in his first season, so there's a chance it could be even better next season.

Get ready for Premier League transfer records to happen in this transfer window. £120M or more would be a fantastic transfer fee and most recently, Liverpool seem to be doing a deal with Newcastle United to discuss Isak wanting to move and Liverpool the goal according to some sources on the internet.

If that happens, Liverpool is doing something out of the ordinary.
£265M has been spent by Liverpool in spending 4 players.
If Isak's price is £120M, then the total is £385M.

120 million euros is a truly huge sum of money. I don't think it makes sense for this player to be valued that much. He may be the team's star player, but if a player is worth over 100 million, I think he should be capable of much greater things. I don't think he'll be a good player statistically.

The latest transfer rumors have mentioned 140 million euros for Isak. Even players like Ronaldo and Griezmann have transferred for less than that

What is considered impossible if a team is really interested, nothing is impossible. It is possible that £120 million is considered cheap and still affordable for a club that is very interested in him. That is what happens in negotiations, where everything is made more acceptable.

The transfers of Griezmann and Cristiano Ronaldo may no longer be the same when compared to the current era.
Pogba, as far as I know, was also brought back by Manchester United from Juventus at a high cost.
The point is, Liverpool, according to the sources I follow, rarely spends large sums of money on player transfers.

Yeah they are interested.
Not because he is a top tier striker.
But cause there are no money in Serie A, and they aim to get in loan with maybe an obligation.
30 mil seems to low, should be near 50 mil.

PSG are making it a habit of discarding good players and I don't know the reason for letting this player Kolo Muani go on loan in the first place but one thing I believe is, he would have made an impact with the PSG side last campaign but Juventus had that opportunity to strengthen their attacking department which Kolo Muani showed every bit of himself. As it stands, Juventus need to grab this opportunity with both arms because in no time I expect other clubs who are desperately looking for an attacker to step up and get him after all he did last season and also in the just concluded FIFA Club World Cup. This player is not the type that needs to spend much of his time on loan, they need to take him serious come next season.

I was thinking the same thing, but PSG has younger, higher-quality strikers. Ramos, for example, is a player of equal quality to Kolo Muani. Perhaps Kolo Muani himself has left, as he would have been a substitute at PSG.

Juventus is a club better suited to Kolo Muani's playing style. At Juventus, Kolo and David will be the primary strikers. Both can be on the pitch. I expect Vlahovic to be a substitute at Juventus most of the time.

Even Ramos wasn't finding it easy with the club, ever since he got injured I think at the beginning of last season the way he started coming from the bench made him look like option B for the PSG manager and I'd have loved to see both Ramos and Kolo Muani partner in the attack but Enrique choose to let the France player to go on loan leaving Ramos behind.
Kolo Muani can fit in anywhere as long as he plays as an attacker but for Juventus I think he needs a club that plays more flexible than Juventus. I see them as a team that loves to defend more than they attack and the player Kolo Muani always stress himself to bring the ball to the attack, that alone shows how slow Juventus are, that's to me.

Frankfurt is now the new deal, they sold Kolo Muani to PSG for €95 million in 2023 and then signed Hugo Ekitike from PSG for €16.5 million in 2024. In this summer, the player bought for 95 million his value has decreased drastically and the player bought for 16.5 in just one year, was sold to Liverpool for €95 million. That's the exact price they sold Muani to PSG for, 2 years ago. Frankfurt is doing well in terms of players upgrade and then selling them for a hefty price. Good business if you ask me.

Donnaruma is declining his contract offers from PSG, they are trying to extend, but he declines. Which means, he has decided to leave, and no idea if he already made a secret deal with another team, but looks like he will try to play for one more year, and then leave for free. If that doesn't happen, then maybe they can sell him now, and get another player.

All in all, it doesn't make sense to see that Donnaruma decided to leave, because he won so much with PSG and the fact that he is eyeing to leave makes no sense. Why would you want to leave a team that you do so great with? If you want to win, you stay with the winners. Whatever is the reason, I hope they soon fix it, because league and all is getting closer, so everyone should start to be quicker about these deals.

Most times, players do decline offers given to them by a club when the want more, Donnaruma might want to leave but maybe it's not really what we think, he might be using that as a strategy to make PSG increase their offer, he knows he's an important player and for the team to be negotiating a new deal means they're still very interested in keeping him. Anyway, PSG would do everything possible to keep Donnaruma it's not easy to lure goalkeepers that are as good as him to leave their club to PSG so they'll use any possible means to get new deal for him and avoid the stress of searching the market for another goalkeeper.

For a player of his kind declining a contract extension after his achievements with the team and the teams current form  it's obvious it is because of salary increment and bonus  not because there is any issue with the coach or the team. I don't think he needs another team but can still develop such feelings if the team do not consider his request and finds any team that is willing to consider his request

I think if he has already considered not extending his contract with PSG, he must have had personal talks with one of the clubs. He is performing well, and I believe that if PSG were to sell him right now, there would be several clubs ready to make an offer. The first club rumored to be interested in him is Chelsea. That could be true or false. But it would be quite surprising if he does not want to extend his contract with PSG.

Manchester City bought Trafford from Burnley for £27 million, according to Fabrizio Romano.
https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1948680616796459433

Trafford is an extremely promising young goalkeeper who played 45 games for Burnley last season and kept 29 clean sheets at he is only 22 yo.
It seems that Guardiola has finally found a replacement for Ederson, but decided not to buy a ready-made goalkeeper, but a young one with prospects for years to come. The length of the contract is not yet clear, but I think it will be at least five years, given the player's prospects.

They already broke over 150 million, getting close to 200, and they did spent a huge amount on last winter break. It's good that they are getitng a great goalkeeper, and he is very young too. This is still a kid, very young, I remember when I was at his age, I had no idea about anything, so he is very very young, but on top of that, he gained so much experience at the same time, which is rare to find for a big club.

And he didn't really screwed up during that period, I have seen his games, and he was fine, his highlights are better than he really is though, obviously his highlights are his "high" lights, so check games and goals he conceded, that makes more sense, and I believe he is decent enough to stay here for 10 years.

Inter Miami strengthened its midfield with R. De Paul.
I was surprised that De Paul chose the US League at such a young age.
I'm not sure if it was his own choice or if Atletico Madrid asked him to find a team.
He'll make a significant contribution to Inter Miami's midfield.
He might retire there for 3-4 years and then return to his homeland.
He's a strong, combative midfielder. Messi's presence in Miami also played a role in his decision to join Miami.

He know his worth, he might be the second or third best goalkeeper in the world right now. There's a shortage in high quality goalkeeper, many teams surely want Donnarumma if he leave PSG.

He get paid for 12.7 Million Euros, which is already a good numbers, but for sure he can get higher.

The first club rumored to be interested in him is Chelsea. That could be true or false. But it would be quite surprising if he does not want to extend his contract with PSG.

Whenever a player want to leave his team = rumor to Chelsea.

Seriously would you blame them? I guess not because Chelsea over recent years has proven the they want to buy anything and everything that moves. Every rumour would be linked to Chelsea because the club has already been doing such, they have more than enough players to even boost of a third eleven or fourth eleven in the team and still they are looking for more players to add to their squad.

I see them as a team that loves to defend more than they attack and the player Kolo Muani always stress himself to bring the ball to the attack, that alone shows how slow Juventus are, that's to me.

But I think Kolo Muani is quite a good fit for Juventus. I considered when he first arrived and immediately made a positive impact on the club. If I'm not mistaken, when he was still managed by Motta and currently Juve is managed by Igor Tudor, whose playing style emphasizes the attacking side, and that would make Kolo comfortable in his role. I think making this player permanent is a good move for the Old Lady and the price is quite cheap for a player of Muani caliber.

Gianluigi Donnarumma contract left with PSG until June 2026 or one season later before his contract expiring and management have negotiation about contract extend but still not reach agreement yet. Unbelievable with Donnaruma decision won't extend his contract with PSG after great achievement by winning UEFA Champion League and qualified to final round at FIFA Club World Cup 2025, have rumor about Donnaruma's future linked will join Galatasaray but its not clearly yet depend on contract negotiation with SG.

If can reach agreement deal yet, its bad decision for PSG have possibility losing Donnaruma with free agent regarding if six months contract left any interested team will wait until his contract expiry. PSG must take decision if not reach agreement for contract extending better sell him before contract expiring and PSG have fund for signing new goal keeper.

I understand what Chelsea is trying to do here with all these signings. Chelsea is aiming at becoming the dominant team in England, because if they got like 2nd-3rd even squad, it will definitely boost the performance of the team going forward, and considering the number of players who will go on an injury, red cards, or any kind of suspension, secondly it will enable the players to rest and also enable the manager to share the player evenly to which competition they're going to get involved, since they have  the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and Carabou Cup, in which they're currently involved.

From the table of Fabrizio Romano just about 2 hours ago. He reported that Alexander Isak was offered €700k a week by Al Hilal and that he rejected such an offer, lol. Could this be a real news from Fabrizio or his just putting up a prank on people like us who waits for his transfer news or that amount was really offered and it was rejected by Isak. Could it be that he rejected that offer just to remain in the EPL because his got his eyes on moving to Liverpool instead?
