⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[red4slash]

Yes, they're aiming to keep Lookman at the club by keeping his transfer fee high. Lookman wants to leave. I hope he doesn't suffer the same fate as Osimhen. Unfortunately, in Italy, they try every possible way to sell players at high prices. This is a detrimental move to the player's mental health, but no one seems to care about him.

For this reason, Atalanta will likely give Lookman an easy way out before the transfer window closes, as seen in a similar case last season when Koopmeiners wanted to leave for Juventus. Atalanta simply wants to maintain the clause so that it remains in line with their desired price, as they know that forcing the issue would be very difficult, so they are just trying to hold out to get what they consider a fair deal.

Currently, it depends on Inter whether they can meet Atalanta's clause. The summer transfer window is about to close, and this is the right time to continue negotiations quickly, allowing them to secure the player in the final moments before the new season officially begins.
I think the odds are still 50:50, and given the current situation, I’m quite skeptical that Atalanta will treat Lookman the same way they did Osimhen at Napoli, as they still maintain a very high level of professionalism.

Inter Milan just needs to secure his deal because he is such a fantastic player, and his addition regarding through the team sheet will make the team progress so much loud. So Inter Milan just needs to rush for his negotiations and make him officially become the player of the Inter Milan before closing the transfer window. Now we will see what Atlanta responds to. They demanded a big price tag from the first day, but now we will see whether Inter accepts or rejects this offer. Because in terms of market value, £80 million is a big price tag… Let's see what happens next until the end of the transfer window.

The offer made was previously rejected by Atalanta, and currently the situation between Lookman and Atalanta is somewhat complicated. It is reported that he has been absent from Atalanta's scheduled agenda due to feeling disappointed that he was not allowed to leave, despite the offered price being deemed sufficient for Lookman at this time. However, Atalanta continues to hold firm, as they consider the terms of the deal to be insufficient.

This seems to mark a new chapter, as if left unresolved for too long, this friction could escalate into a cold war between the player and the club.
Inter has been proactive, but if the situation drags on, it could become increasingly difficult, as Inter might explore new options if Lookman proves hard to secure. There are even rumors that Inter is beginning to approach Greenwood if Lookman remains out of reach.

This is clearly a complicated situation in the end because, regardless, the summer transfer window is now just days away, and if there is no certainty, I believe this will be somewhat detrimental not only for Lookman but also for Atalanta and Inter themselves.

Manchester United also send an official deal to sekso.
If they find the deal the ball will be in Leipzing hands after.

Chelsea is one team that's really making use of the transfer market this season and if an award is supposed to be given for it, then they will definitely win it. According Fabrizio Jorrel Hato is to undergo his medical at the Bridge and that's not all, they are still eyeing Xavi Simons who's also close to signing for the Blues alongside Garnacho who's still in their radar. Not just that, they are also selling to balance their sheets. It's also reported that Dewsbury-Hall will is heading to Everton for a £25 million fee.

Chelsea are preparing their squad for the 2025/2026 season which is the season they most need in order to prove to the world that they’re back on track and can win one or two other more trophies by the end of the season. Balancing the transfer window was a very important thing for them to do and I like how they’re taking this whole next season a serious one for them to prevail ahead of their rivals in the competitions they’ll be playing in next season. Every player on their list to get to the club are all top stars that will really do well for the team when managed well. The period given to Enzo Maresca to transform the condition of the team has been very formidable, so I trust that he’ll do better next season with all the players he needs on board to kick off the new season with.

From my understanding, Arsenal doesn't necessarily have to sell in order to re-sign Eze ^{[they didn't sign anyone in the previous January transfer window and based on structures of the deals, I don't think they'll be paying all of the transfer fees in a single year]}... The only reason Berta is prioritizing outgoings is not to leave some of our players in limbo ^{[e.g., Viera, Nelson, Zinchenko, Lokonga and maybe Trossard (if the right offer comes)]}.
^{- IMO, Trossard has been more effective than Martinelli in the past two seasons, but because of his age & recent injuries, they might try to sell him instead.}

This is no surprise from Chelsea, we have seen them do this many times, always ready to pay for any player that comes up in the transfer market, it is confusing what they see as quality before striking into agreement. I'm not saying they've had the worse signing even though bringing Garnocho does have more disapproval than approval. If not for business purpose, Chelsea won't be coming into many signings, most of the players will get up being loaned out, those remaining won't even get the time to feature in matches. I know all these is aiming at the Premier League title, a lot of replacement and competition in all positions will make players put better efforts.

Man United forwarded official contract proposal to Šeško while also keep negotiating with RB Leipzig.

Benjamin Sesko is likely to be seen at Manchester United. This rumor is gradually getting stronger. Manchester United has now sent an official contract offer to Sesko. So far we have seen that Manchester United management has negotiated with Leipzig. So far Manchester United has shown interest in spending up to 75 million. Leipzig management has not yet officially said anything.

My guess is that the deal is probably going to be 75 million. Of course, this is not a small amount. Sesko is a young player. Manchester United will benefit if they buy Sesko, who is only 22 years old, for 75 million. He has already proven his ability. We saw 13 goals and 5 assists from Sesko in the Bundesliga last season.

Manchester United did not rush at the beginning of the transfer market. But even then we saw Manchester United management spending 75 and 74 million on Mbeumo and Cunha. And now the club is going to spend 75 million + on Sesko.

Buying players seems to have become a habit for Chelsea. They sign players without fully assessing their potential benefits or contribution to the team. Last time I followed them, there were six goalkeepers. That's a significant number for a single team. There are many more examples like this. Buying players isn't difficult for Chelsea, but utilizing it to benefit the team is.

Is this player worth all this fuss? I mean, he is a good player, but is he worth all this drama and suspense? How is Sesko worth over 80 million pounds? It may just be me, but if I were the one in charge of these big clubs, I wouldn't waste time chasing players that are expensive and to worth the price. Sesko has never scored 30 goals in a season in his career, and yet a price tag of 80 million is placed on him. His average rating a season is less than 6.9, yet he's worth so much. It's laughable.
I know he is a good player and good with the ball on his feet; he works hard and has good off-the-ball movement, but he should not be worth more than 70 million at the most. I don't think he has the potential to be among the top strikers in his generation.

[baeva]

The most obvious thing is that Napoli didn't want to lose a penny and didn't care about the player or the fact that they could ruin him - either they would get money or nothing, because the player would stop getting good playing practice and would be cheap. It's surprising, really. I don't understand why Napoli couldn't have lowered the price by just 10-15%. If they had, they would have sold him to Galatasaray long ago.

However, it is precisely because of Napoli's selfishness that they have ended up losing out even more, and I think the steps they are taking now are quite good because, in addition to not delaying Osimhen's fate—which would only further diminish his value—this also puts an end to the never-ending drama of the past few seasons.

Compared to Napoli, I actually feel relieved for Osimhen in this situation because he is no longer haunted by transfer issues and the toxic relationship with Napoli, although this also arose due to Osimhen's own actions initially. However, it is indeed a good move for both parties to agree to go their separate ways.
Now, Osimhen just needs to focus on his new club, and Napoli must prepare for the upcoming season, which begins in just over a week.

It's not that they agreed this time, but rather that Napoli realised that if they continued to stick to their guns, they would end up losing much more than they already had. And for the player, this is additional psychological pressure, which can only have a negative effect, not a positive one. So yes, I'm also happy for him that he will now be completely satisfied with the game.

What is happening to Manchester United now is just desperation if not they won't have been battling to get this player in as much as Newcastle are on the race to get this player. This is becoming boring because I don't see anything special about the player Benjamin Šeško, this can be that after arriving at Old Trafford and the season kicks off he can't do half of what he did at Leipzig that they are rushing him like this. For me I'd say the player and the club Leipzig are just joking with Manchester United and Newcastle, even when both teams are submitted their bid nothing concrete about the player making a move happened, let's say from tomorrow we'd get something positive about the player. I don't also see his records of last season as impressive for him to be up to that amount, these are the type of players that come to the EPL and still struggle, hope UTD are making the right move for this deal.

Lolz. Let me ask you, is Nicholas Jackson worth the £100m price tag the club are putting on him? Now I know that there are rumors of him being linked to Man UTD but that's just what it is: rumours. The thing is, every club will want to use every opportunity to cash in especially if they see that the clubs going for their players are desperate. Benjamin Sesko may not have had enough goal involvement or his overall record standard enough for him to be pegged at £80m but that's just the club taking advantage and I feel he'd have a chance to shine more at Man UTD if the deal eventually works out than he is going at Leipzig.

This indirectly means Newcastle has lost their chance to sign Sesko for their squad next season, as it seems Sesko is very keen to join Manchester United.

This situation is quite advantageous for Manchester United, but ultimately it depends on how they negotiate with Leipzig here, as they will clearly aim to secure greater benefits from Sesko's transfer. In this case, if Manchester United ultimately wish to sign him, the previous offer of 74 million might be slightly negotiated upward or maintained with alternative options as benefits for Leipzig.

In reality, negotiations for player transfers with Leipzig are not overly complicated, as they typically allow players to leave when the price aligns with their expectations.

Yes Manchester United have now send an official bid to Leipzig with the amount been a straight €75 million plus and extra €10 million on bonuses, this is €5 million more than what Newcastle United sent to Leipzig. For me this price is definitely going to be enough to actually get this deal done, the decision now is on the player to make his decision, I think Sesko has his heart at Manchester United but the player and his agent might be weighing the option of leaving and also rejecting a champions league football team to the one not participating in it.

Newcastle are still adamant that this deal can still work out but from all indications I think Manchester United has already sealed this deal, for me this if pulled off will definitely give Manchester United huge strength in their new season. Personally though I was actually preferring a central midfielder first before any position is been signed but with what, hopefully this shouldn’t be their last purchase

[Miles2006]

From my understanding, Arsenal doesn't necessarily have to sell in order to re-sign Eze ^{[they didn't sign anyone in the previous January transfer window and based on structures of the deals, I don't think they'll be paying all of the transfer fees in a single year]}... The only reason Berta is prioritizing outgoings is not to leave some of our players in limbo ^{[e.g., Viera, Nelson, Zinchenko, Lokonga and maybe Trossard (if the right offer comes)]}.
^{- IMO, Trossard has been more effective than Martinelli in the past two seasons, but because of his age & recent injuries, they might try to sell him instead.}

If Trossard or Martinelli should leave before signing Eze then we should consider the deal uncertain, the team knows their best player reason they didn’t give out any brilliant player out except an end of contract either loan related business. Honestly if Trossard should leave it will definitely affect the team obviously Trossard had more impact compared to Martinelli even if Trossard plays during the second half his performance is top. There’s no legit update about Eze at the moment, I read a news on X concerning an agreement related post indicating the fee and payment but, I’m yet to confirm the source, I guess the deal is likely unpredictable at the moment.

I'm surprised Sesko wants to Man United. We know Man United performed very badly last season. Even, Man United still doesn't show a significant improvement until now. Man United only has a big name due to the success of Alex Ferguson in the past. Since Ferguson left the club, Man United never returns to his good performance anymore. IMO, Newcastle is a better choice considering this reason.

True. Man United has made an offer to Leipzing. Man United also looks like getting a personal agreement with Sesko. It is just about the time that Man United will announce it to the public.

The value of player could be easly over 80m€ IMHO

Sesko's market value is around €70m, Newcastle has offer about €75m. So Man United must offer a higher price considering these factors. I agree with you, it must be about €80m at least. And Man United must also offer a high salary for Sesko, so he is interested to join Man United over Newcastle.

Let us be straightforward with ourselves and tell the truth, Asernal as a clubs doesn't have to sell off any player with the hope of getting a better offer, knowing very well how Asernal performance in the last concluded season went, at least their performed near excellent so what the need to scatter the already formed team, for me injury and age are not really a basis to sell an old good player.

I was also a bit surprised when I read the news that Sesko preferred Manchester United. Yes, I thought it would be another top club. The latest rumor is that United have submitted an €85 million package bid for Sesko. The proposal has been submitted, but they are still negotiating.

Besides Manchester United, Aston Villa is also struggling to improve their squad this past season. And now, Evann Guessand is one of their new signings. The Nice center-forward is still only 24 years old, and his potential is quite good; at least he can also play as a winger. And Aston Villa has done a deal with a €35 million package.

Wow €85 million to bring in Sesko? it exceeds its market value 70 million and Leipzig only paid 24 million when they brought him in in 2023 what makes me wonder is whether Sesko is worth being paid that much? We know Sesko is a young talented player but his contribution to the club last season could not get any place in European competitions well I think this should be a consideration. To be honest I have my doubts that Manchester United are making too high a offer.

He became a player who was so developed after being bought by Leipzig and the ability possessed by him was indeed extraordinary at an age that was still quite young so that the market value of him continued to soar.
Whether or not it can be seen based on last year's statistics because even though the English League is a little different from the Bundesliga, I have confidence in Sesko able to adapt quickly in the English League if he succeeded in becoming a player there.
If Manchester United does not make a high offer then there are other clubs that may also be interested in it or even this is an offer given by Leipzig for a team that wants to recruit him.

Which players need to be sold, and why? Considering their performances last season, they were much better. The most important thing Arteta needs to do is build the players' confidence so they develop a winning mentality. There's a lot of hope for this squad now, as bringing in a number of quality players will significantly increase Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League. I agree with you, as there's no need to sell some of Arsenal's players, as Arteta's core players have generally performed quite well in the previous two or three seasons.
