⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Thomas Partey making a big move to the Spanish side Villarreal seems like a big loose for the Gunners because they haven't gotten a monster in that DM as a replacement yet, for me I'd prefer they gave him another contract maybe 2 years till it's time to let him go. He has been a machine in that midfield for Arsenal but till this very moment I see nobody in that squad to take Thomas Partey's place, nobody can do what he did for Arsenal, big lose for Arsenal and a much better addition to Villarreal...can he be missed at the Emirates?

A risky transfer for sure. Partey's in the process to face a legal action related to the his rape case. He raped three woman, and court hearing will begin soon.  It's hard to guess what's Villareal's motive to sign him as a new player. I hope his victims will get justice and he will be jailed.

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.

According to Fabrizio, Sesko has agreed personal terms with Manchester United. What is remaining is for Leipzig and Manchester United to reach an agreement, so the deal can be finalized. Since Newcastle United's offer is €5 million higher than United, they might be forced to increase their offer a little bit to be the same as Newcastle. Either they increase the add-ons or the initial payment to take it to €85 million.

About spending such a huge amount on an unproven player. I think it's a gamble but if you watch the way he plays and they type of goal he scores, I think he'll do well in the EPL.

Finally, Liverpool has finally sold him now the question is, doesn't this now open room for them to bid further for Alexander Isak or they no longer want him and will make move for another player! I'm just curious about this because so people suggested that Liverpool will not make another signings especially an attacker if Nunez is still on the team.

If Nunez reaches an agreement with another club and the transfer is completed, Liverpool has the opportunity to bring in Alexander Isak. Because they indeed created such a scenario.
However, it seems that the transfer of Alexander Isak may not be easy after the previous offer was reported to have been rejected by Newcastle. There is still a chance, but if Liverpool wants to acquire another player, they seem to have other options.

I thought his already signed with the Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal and his now there player. And according to the news from here the deal has been done, so his no longer a Liverpool player anymore. Yeah, it's because of what Liverpool said after their initial bid was rejected and they said they won't bid again that's why I was curious if they will still be interested in Isak this summer after they said they won't increase the offer neither will they also bid for him again.

mancehster United really wants to have Sesko, also the players wants the team.
Davind Nunez is now closer to Al Hilal form Liverpool.
Thomas Müller will join MLS from Bayern.
Grealish may leave City on loan.
Milan signed Ardon Jashari for ~40mil €.

Bradley Barcola, such a lovely player but I seriously doubt if PSG will be willing to let him go. His one of the integral part of the PSG attack and sometimes comes in as a substitute player for either Doué or Kvaratskhelia. And he has impressed very much. But the thing is, this is football and if PSG sees that the offer is right, they might actually cash in on him and look for a replacement for a lesser fee.

Thomas Partey making a big move to the Spanish side Villarreal seems like a big loose for the Gunners because they haven't gotten a monster in that DM as a replacement yet, for me I'd prefer they gave him another contract maybe 2 years till it's time to let him go. He has been a machine in that midfield for Arsenal but till this very moment I see nobody in that squad to take Thomas Partey's place, nobody can do what he did for Arsenal, big lose for Arsenal and a much better addition to Villarreal...can he be missed at the Emirates?

A risky transfer for sure. Partey's in the process to face a legal action related to the his rape case. He raped three woman, and court hearing will begin soon.  It's hard to guess what's Villareal's motive to sign him as a new player. I hope his victims will get justice and he will be jailed.

While Partey got the go ahead to sign for Villarreal after granting a conditional bail, he still have a court case by September 2nd and we could say this is still risky since he hasn't been proven guilty or not guilty.

Getting linked to the club if found guilty is what some of the Villarreal fans doesn't want and that won't be good for them. I hope the case goes well in his favour if he is actually not guilty.

Earlier I said that this would be a loss for Arsenal because after all Partey is one of the players who is actually very good for the midfield and Arsenal's failure to keep Partey is an unfortunate thing.

But that was before Partey's case came to light and now the move is actually a bit crucial and could be a big risk.
Currently, Partey is facing charges where he is troubled by several reports of harassment which of course if it is ultimately proven then this will be a big loss for Villarreal.

But if it's not proven then it's still very good because regardless of how the case unfolds now for Partey's personal life, he is still one of the players who I think is still very good for the defense where he has quite good vision and he is also very potential when used as a box to box midfielder.

Kerem Aktürkoğlu's transfer is deadlocked. Fenerbahçe made an offer to Benfica for Kerem and Kerem told Benfica that he wanted to go to Fenerbahçe. It is reported that Jose Mourinho also wants Kerem Aktürkoğlu very much and has reported to the management to finish the transfer as soon as possible. Benfica will make the final decision. Kerem was transferred to Benfica with great hopes but his performance did not meet expectations. Kerem is eager to return to Türkiye. Let's see if Fenerbahçe will be able to include Kerem, a player of arch rival Galatasaray and now Benfica, in their squad.

You sounded as if he has been found guilty already but that is not the case and come to think of it, why are players always involved in a rape case because it really gets me thinking if they don't have a girlfriend or what could have prompted them to rape. Though for the fact that the case of Thomas Partey involves 3 women, don't know how he will be able to get away with these accusations. I don't know why Villarreal decided to sign him knowing that he still has rape charges to defend in September but i hope he is not found guilty so that he can be very useful in the midfield of Villarreal just as he was in Arsenal. Thomas Party is a good midfielder; he just needs his morale back after this rape case.

It feels to me MU does another betting. Same as when they were signing Hojlund. It's hard to say they make the right buy this time as the stats comparison says it all. I'm wondering why they go for Sesko instead of Osimhen, and willing to paid higher amount. They might able to spend less if they just agree to bought Osimhen from Napoli.
I guess this is a panic buy by them.

When I saw this very comparison it looks laughable because that of Hojlund is terrible 100%, imagine they never gave the stat of last season for the Manchester United player but they did for Benjamin Šeško, last season the same form Man UTD ended the season with was the same form their attacker Hojlund was so he can't be compared to this guy Benjamin Šeško.
Hojlund is suppose to be compared to someone like Jackson, Watkins even the likes of Calvert-Lewin, these guys are EPL strikers who tried their best to be on top last season but they struggled and if we include Hojlund I think he's the worse of them all, how I wish Benjamin Šeško can make this move to make that attacking position a bit competitive.

Well they tried to offer him a contract and he wanted an increase in wages. Asking for an increase in wages is not a bad thing though but his not always fit. His an injury prone player and I think I understand why Arsenal didn't want to increase his wages. Now that his at Villarreal, his playing for way less than the amount Arsenal used to previously pay him. I think his main reason for leaving Arsenal was because of money and his getting lesser where he is now, although I still stand to be corrected on this assertions though.

Let's see if Fenerbahçe will be able to include Kerem, a player of arch rival Galatasaray and now Benfica, in their squad.

I believe we've reached the end of the transfer window. According to recent reports, an agreement has been reached for between 22-25 million euro. We're very close to officially saying Kerem Aktürkoğlu is joining Fenerbahçe; I expect an official announcement within the next day or two.

They're acquiring one of the best Turkish players available for around €20 million, and this deal would be quite profitable for Fenerbahçe. Kerem, who didn't perform as expected at Benfica, could return to a strong performance

A big loss for Arsenal and a big gain for Villarreal because they'll have a much stronger midfield than they did last season and good thing their attack is better but I hope they still add more fresh legs to the party. This issue with Thomas Partey I don't see it as something Villarreal will complain or be on the losing side because I saw something about it that the whole thing is over and he is free from all charges;

Thomas Partey has been granted conditional bail after being charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault.

Partey’s lawyer Wiltshire previously said he “denies all the charges against him”, adding he welcomed “the opportunity to finally clear his name”.

I read this from All Football and this is to show that he doesn't have any connection with those who accused him.

After no talk of Jack Grealish and now Everton making a loan offer to Man City about the player --- maybe it will be realized? He said there was no purchase option only Everton was ready to bear part of his salary.

As Grealish has no place in Pep Guardiola's squad, if he wants to continue playing as a regular then he must move because now Man City has brought in many young players --- just curious how he is doing now.

The English player earns about £300,000 per week which will be too high for Everton to afford. Jack Grealish want to gain the attention and respect of the English national team coach Thomas Tuchel so that he could return to the national team. But he needs to play consistently which he is not getting under Pep Guardiola.

Moving to Everton will be the best option for both clubs and the player. City will be free from the burden of paying an inconsistent player, while Everton will bring in a gifted and experienced player. Jack will also have more playing time. But the issue now is on how to share his huge wage.

I was looking up to see a club coming to sign him, never expected he’ll get an offer from an European team but will be moving to the Saudi Arabian league since they love to sign players that are no more needed by their teams and have made quite a good team start and success in the club especially those players from top European teams. This will be a good addition to Villarreal and will only strengthen their team more. I saw how helpful he was to the Arsenal team during the knockout stage of the champions league next season, it may be a big loss to Arsenal but maybe they have better plans than this.

Well they tried to offer him a contract and he wanted an increase in wages. Asking for an increase in wages is not a bad thing though but his not always fit.

Sometimes players think they’ll get better offer from their team when they are able to prolong negotiations of new contracts but sometimes when the team have better options, they just let them go and bring in the new option. He may have regretted his decision not to have signed for Arsenal for another year, because getting paid lesser than your former team is not a very welcome idea. Although if he did that because he won’t get more playing time in the club by next season, then maybe it’s a good move for him to get more playing time and not lose form in the soonest.

You're right but let's see it this way, maybe Thomas Partey used that increment of salary to leave Arsenal like he doesn't want to stay even with what they want to offer him, on his own he wants to leave but there was no other way to leave without them trapping him down so he had to come up with the salary increment, just saying because why would he go for something lesser than what Arsenal was paying him?
Good thing he went back to a league he is familiar with before joining Arsenal back in 2020 and going back to a different club still doesn't change the fact that he's happy where he is.

At least let him face trial and be proven guilty before condemning him. It's crazy how saying this will make it look like I'm supporting him or something. A person being accused of something doesn't mean he did it. I know he can still work free even if he is guilty, but at least he should be convicted or see the evidence before concluding like this.

I think Arsenal always wanted to sell him because they even started going for Zubimendi before he decided to leave. The talk of him leaving was heard even before the middle of last season. Its a good ideaof him to leave. With Zubimendi now in the midfield and merino back to midfield since Arsenal has signed a stiker, I don't think he has a place in that midfield anymore.

A very poor judgement from your end here, player has actually pleaded not guilty and without evidence for now to prove he is guilty I think it will be bad to actually just wish him bad, it was people like you that were actually wishing same thing upon Benjamin Mendy of Manchester city then and he went for jail for a crime he didn’t commit and that was how he had is career turn upside down. So until proven guilty I wish Thomas Partey well and hopefully if this accusations turns out to be false accusations then there should be strong law enforced on wrong accuse and it’s punishment should be same punishment that the accused would have reduced if found guilty.

https://x.com//status/1953149981403075053

Seriously this is a very good deal and a very good second option by Liverpool. With Newcastle yet to get any striker for Isak replacement I think the signing of Isak from Newcastle will be really complicated for Liverpool. Currently Liverpool need to add an attacker most especially the left wing position because of the departure of both Luiz Diaz and Darwin Nunez and Bradley Barcola is really a very good option. They wanted Rodrigo which might be a complicated deal like Isak. But for Barcola i don’t see any complications there, he is no longer Luiz Enrique starting option on that wing since the raise of Desire Doue but at Liverpool Barcola can get the starting line up with only Coady Gakpo the option there which he is not even been used more by Arne slot so for me this is a very good deal and he will be worth less expensive than the primary targets.
