⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

This is one hell of a move and a fast one without delay for the Gunners after confirming the injury of their false number 9 Kai Havertz, this has made the Gunners to stay strong in the market or should I say it forced them to go back to the market to be very serious and now they won Eze from Spurs. How does this change the way the Gunners operate this season? Are we expecting to see a more deadly force from the Gunners this season after getting Eze?

The signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace is a very important signing for Arsenal this summer even before the injury to Kai Havert. He offers something different from all the other left wingers and can also play as a central midfielder.  He is the kind of player that can single handedly win a match for the team.
Arsenal would have really regret it they missed this opportunity to sign him and him signing for Tottenham would have even made it worse for them.
I see Arsenal as a serious title contender this season,  but the signing of Eberechi Eze might have just giving them an edge over the other contenders. He is exactly the kind of player Arsenal really needs.

Between these two players who is best to be at the club and who should be sold out? Hojlund has made it clear that he wants to stay and struggle for his place at the club but that's not the problem of the board because they want him to leave, like is a must for the player to make a move. Joshua Zirkzee too hasn't been up to his best and both players have not done anything special for the club ever since joining the side. To me I feel both players need to leave and find any club that can bring out the best in them because staying at Manchester United won't change anything for them, unless they prefer to sit on the bench till the end of the season.

I think both players have not really made substantial impact so far and have struggled to make their presence crucial to the team. Personally I feel Zirkzee has a better chance in the team in terms of position in the squad and contribution than Hojlund but will have to accept to play from the bench because he falls below in the pecking order of the team’s options.

It can be that at the end non of these players will leave the club because if you check they don't have a back up striker and they're not making any effort of getting a new striker which is something they need. Manchester United are some how getting things right when it comes to how well they play and this striking department is where they had problems last season and they shouldn't go back to that time when scoring goals was the problem, now Benjamin Šeško is in the squad but they need back up before the window closes. If Amorim really sees these players Zirkzee and Hojlund as important players I don't think he'd let either of them to go and it seems the lucky one to stay will be Zirkzee.

Why will any of them be qualified to be a backup striker for Manchester United when they failed to perform as expected. They were both given the opportunity to be a starter but they couldn't do anything. After, you will say that United is having problem in their striking department. Why wouldn't they have, when you are still supporting to keep these two players in the club. If United wants to work on their frontline backup, they should get a different player.

City have agreed on the terms of Donnarumma’s transfer with PSG, and the negotiations went quickly because PSG are interested in selling their goalkeeper soon in order not to lose him as a free agent next year. First, Ederson’s transfer to Galatasaray will be completed, and then Donnarumma will become City’s goalkeeper. I think everything should happen quickly because Ederson has already agreed on all the terms with Galatasaray, and City are in need of a good goalkeeper.

That's the best decision to make, PSG wanted to keep Donnarumma but from all indications, he wanted to leave PSG by all means because his been offered three different contracts at different times but he rejected signing any of it. That alone means he wants to leave, he had only one year left in his current contract with the club and if they don't sell him, he will be a free agent next summer which means PSG won't get any dime from his departure. So, for me it's best they sell him now and get something from his departure.

If Donnarumma really doesn't want to stay, then there is no point in forcing him like Mbappe. There has been a lot of drama about leaving the club before, in the end they let go of an important player like Mbappe as a free agent, which was a big financial loss for their club. Similarly, Donnarumma has offers from several clubs, as a result of which Donnarumma may decide to leave PSG and go to a club of his choice. Since he has another year of PSG's contract with him, if Donnarumma leaves for another club after this contract ends, PSG will not get any money for Donnarumma's transfer, but if Donnarumma leaves for another club while he has a contract with him, a large amount of the transfer money will be deposited in PSG's fund. Now let's see how PSG decides on Donnarumma's departure from the club.

[Adbitco]

 I used to love this dude when he earlier signed for Chelsea was thinking we've got another Drogba like player but it didn't work as planned and made me lose interest in seeing him on rhe starting line-up, I know several other Chelsea fans would feel so too, Jackson is not fit enough to be in Chelsea, so I don't mind if he's been sold in this transfer window.

 I thought it was £80m pounds Chelsea specified for Jackson, I think evem the £75m is too much for him and would chase lots of potential buyers away from the deal, Bayern Munich won't pay such amount when they already have Kane and can't replace Kane perfectly so it's either Aston Villa or Newcastle that could sign hjm

This was almost exactly what the people normally say back then where we all watch football together. They claimed that they have seen another Drogba in the making of Jackson. I believe it was this believe that made Chelsea fans to overlook his first season performance. They were like give Jackson chance he will improve in his second season. And overtime, they've seen that his not this Drogba kind of guy that they earlier anticipated.

[Ale88]

If Donnarumma is not going to play there is no way he is going to stay one year on the bench in Paris. Somehow he is going to leave the club, he is in his prime, he was in Milan's line up when he was 16 years old and now he should stay on the bench because Chevalier is playing? No way.

Honestly, I don't know the exact reason why Enrique no longer needs Donnarumma in the starting lineup. Although the reason currently circulating is that it doesn't fit with Enrique desired scheme, I don't think that's reasonable considering how good Donnarumma previous performance was and brought PSG many titles. PSG doesn't seem to care much about Donnarumma at the moment, just look at when Gigio was no longer a starter in the first match of the League 1 competition. This proves that Gigio must immediately find a new club before the transfer window closes because what the point of staying if he just a bench warmer.

From I understood, Luis Enrique prefers a player more comfortable playing with his feet, so the goalkeeper would be almost like the first playmaker of team. I understand that football keeps evolving and changing but I disagree with this idea: a goalkeeper must save goals, Donnarumma is clearly better than Chevalier and yet he lost his spot because the other player is better passing the ball. Maybe I'm old, I don't know, but I would keep Donnarumma over Chevalier, no doubt about that. If PSG won the Champions League a huge part of the merit goes to Donnarumma and his incredible saves.

[Adbitco]

Yeah, he was not a part from the main squad since CWC. It's wise for him to leave, then get a spot in the other club to play regular time. He's a talented player, and disappointed me if he wasted his talent. Some big clubs have been lined up for him. It's easy to pick in which club he will go. It most probably Newcastle or Villa.

Even if I was the coach I wouldn't even play him in my team because his not reliable especially when I have better options in front of goal. Players who can deliver when it's needed not one who will get 6 chances and can only convert one. What happens when my team doesn't create enough scoring chances in a game! Of course that will mean my team will lose that game. So I really don't blame the coach for not featuring him in the CWC.

I just read from somewhere online that Mikel Arteta has spent more money in transfers than Pep Guardiola. At first I didn't want to believe the news because I heard it from a friend at the initial stage until I read from the internet. It was a bit shocking to me because I can't imagine Arteta has spent such an amount and he hasn't won a single premier league title. And yet people said Pep Guardiola was buying the league with money. But here is Arteta who has spent more than him and yet he haven't won one, but Pep Guardiola has won many league titles. In the end money alone don't get you a trophy.

Since we are getting closer to the close of summer transfer window. So many clubs are getting even more active in hunting their targeted players. The hot rumor is coming from Jackson. He's now being targeted by so many clubs. Recently, Bayern, Newcastle and Aston Villa are asking about his condition.

It seems to me he most likely leaves in the coming week. His price is considerably high, which is around 75m, but worthy enough with his exp as an EPL striker. I hope he will join Newcastle or Aston Villa. He can do better there.

Well it's good he leaves because his been at Chelsea for two seasons now and no improvement from him. Maybe the team doesn't favour him so it's best he leaves. With the players Chelsea have now, if he stays he will just be a bench warmer. This news has mentioned three different clubs, if they see as a possible option for their team then it's good, let him go there, it might actually favour him and they may bring out the best in him.

Yeah, he was not a part from the main squad since CWC. It's wise for him to leave, then get a spot in the other club to play regular time. He's a talented player, and disappointed me if he wasted his talent. Some big clubs have been lined up for him. It's easy to pick in which club he will go. It most probably Newcastle or Villa.

Let's see how it goes, which of the mentioned clubs will be willing to pay the stipulated amount of £75 million that Chelsea is demanding for the signing of Nicholas Jackson before the transfer window is over.

Jackson will gat to prove himself worthy this season if one of the two teams succeeds in signing him. Becoming a flop will not be advisable, I think he knows that. His best will be needed this time around, if he doesn't want to receive another round of backlash from the ones Chelsea fans have already given him.

Pep should have spent more as he's far longer than Arteta as PL manager. It seems the comparison is taken based on since Arteta's arrival to the Arsenal. However, it's bad to see he spent 1b, but only get charity trophies. No doubt they can only flex their win rather than their trophies. At this point i think Arteta is fraud.

[AirtelBuzz]

Maybe it's true that Victor Boniface's agent is likely to be discussing their contract with AC Milan Football Club today, and from what I understand, they may already be on their way to Italy. The player was plagued by injuries last season, which meant he couldn't fully commit to the German league, but he still managed to score a remarkable 11 goals in 27 competitive। matches perhaps the Italian club has been completely overwhelmed by his statistics.

Anyway it is largely true that the German league club purchased the player from Union Saint-Gilloise for just 22.6 million euros if he could have made a more exemplary impression last season, he would certainly have gained more value in the Italian team.

Why so cheap? It's not understandable Leverkusen let Boniface leaves for only 30m. Are they getting frustrated with his injury or what? Even if they're getting tired of his injury, they should at least price him around 50m. It's obviously a bargain deal for Milan to get him under price.

They seems try to let go their profit. I can't believe they do this non sense thing.

His price is very cheap but previously when this Italian club wanted to work with him the German club demanded 50 million euros which resulted in us seeing AC Milan running the other way. However it must be said that this is definitely a big discount for AC Milan Football Club because they got Victor Boniface at a very cheap price. In fact he was plagued by that injury last season but still had a remarkable statistic on his side. He is suffering from injuries but his former manager still used him in twenty-seven matches, so from a technical point of view we are forced to say that Milan may have been looking for this type of striker because Bayer Leverkusen playerVictor Boniface has the ability to score goals consistently.

Hojlund has made it clear that he wants to stay and struggle for his place at the club but that's not the problem of the board because they want him to leave, like is a must for the player to make a move. Joshua Zirkzee too hasn't been up to his best and both players have not done anything special for the club ever since joining the side. To me I feel both players need to leave and find any club that can bring out the best in them because staying at Manchester United won't change anything for them, unless they prefer to sit on the bench till the end of the season.

I think both players have not really made substantial impact so far and have struggled to make their presence crucial to the team. Personally I feel Zirkzee has a better chance in the team in terms of position in the squad and contribution than Hojlund but will have to accept to play from the bench because he falls below in the pecking order of the team’s options.

It can be that at the end non of these players will leave the club because if you check they don't have a back up striker and they're not making any effort of getting a new striker which is something they need. Manchester United are some how getting things right when it comes to how well they play and this striking department is where they had problems last season and they shouldn't go back to that time when scoring goals was the problem, now Benjamin Šeško is in the squad but they need back up before the window closes. If Amorim really sees these players Zirkzee and Hojlund as important players I don't think he'd let either of them to go and it seems the lucky one to stay will be Zirkzee.

Why wouldn't they have, when you are still supporting to keep these two players in the club. If United wants to work on their frontline backup, they should get a different player.

Is funny how you said it, yes I'll say they have a problem in their attacking department because what we expected of them are not showing but this is a different picture altogether, like this is a better forward (Cunha , Benjamin Šeško and Mbeumo) compared to the both of them (Zirkzee and Hojlund), and you can't say Manchester United should sell both players instead of keeping one to support Benjamin Šeško, that's what I was trying to say.
Take a good look at how UTD are in the market, do they look like a club that wants to get a striker, like are they showing interest on any striker in the market (correct me if there's any)? No, that is why I said they should consider keeping either Zirkzee or Hojlund, at least it won't be like what we saw last season when it was only Zirkzee and Hojlund or do you want Benjamin Šeško to be the only striker at UTD? Šeško needs support if not fatigue will get hold of him.

[Plaguedeath]

However, it's bad to see he spent 1b, but only get charity trophies. No doubt they can only flex their win rather than their trophies. At this point i think Arteta is fraud.

I think it's a fair comparison, Pep got the squad built by Mancini and Pellegrini, while Arteta got the squad built by Wenger. But, Arteta spent more money in transfer, not even able to be the best in Premier League. Arsenal is a definition even you have money, you will not always win, money+effort can beat money alone.

Take a good look at how UTD are in the market, do they look like a club that wants to get a striker, like are they showing interest on any striker in the market (correct me if there's any)? No, that is why I said they should consider keeping either Zirkzee or Hojlund, at least it won't be like what we saw last season when it was only Zirkzee and Hojlund or do you want Benjamin Šeško to be the only striker at UTD? Šeško needs support if not fatigue will get hold of him.

I think we will high likely see Zirkzee to stay, because I don't hear any rumor about Zirkzee, it's always Napoli is interested with Hojlund.

[SatoPrincess]

I think it would be better for Chelsea to let Jackson and Nkunku go. Neither player has been good enough since they were signed. Competition in Chelsea attack is now fierce, and both players will certainly struggle to secure a place in Enzo Maresca starting lineup.
Besides that, Eddie Howe has finally managed to acquire one of the players he was targeting, Jacob Ramsey, who becomes a good addition to Newcastle. Reportedly, Eddie Howe is also still keeping the door open for Alexander Isak return. He is a player the team needs, although fans seem very disappointed by the rumors of his transfer.
https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/13412065/jacob-ramsey-transfer-news-newcastle-sign-midfielder-from-aston-villa-in-deal-worth-up-to-43m

As things stand, Chelsea are already done with both players and just waiting on good offers to come in so they can offload them. The club have made their decision to part ways to the players and their representatives and they will not continue this season. In the case of Newcastle and Isak, after reading the posts from both parties I feel both parties will reach a resolution on the matter and we could see Isak return to the squad.

Maybe I'm old, I don't know, but I would keep Donnarumma over Chevalier, no doubt about that. If PSG won the Champions League a huge part of the merit goes to Donnarumma and his incredible saves.

Donnarumma is PSG's best goalkeeper right now. He contributed significantly last season, helping PSG win the treble. I don't think Enrique has a problem with Donnarumma. If you say he's an old goalkeeper, I don't think so, because he's only 26 years old. As far as I know, 26 isn't considered old, in fact, players mature more at that age.

According to the news I've read, Donnarumma's problem is actually a request for a salary increase, and PSG isn't ready for it. That's why Donnarumma's contract hasn't been extended. PSG has also recruited a new goalkeeper, Chevalier. This is an option for Enrique at the moment, as long as Donnarumma's problem with PSG is still unresolved, Enrique has prepared a new goalkeeper to replace Donnarumma.

Donnarumma is currently being sought by many top European teams, but PSG's asking price is too high. We'll just have to see how Donnarumma develops with PSG in the future.

Bayern Munich has no backup for Kane and Jackson is the right profile for them, he has the potential, wrapped up some good numbers in the premier league and would possibly wrap double of that in Bundesliga if given enough playing time but I would like him to stay in the premier and make the move to Aston Villa or Newcastle where they desperately need a striker and not a backup.

£70m is fair is if you considered the amount Liverpool signed Ekitike and what Manutd paid for Mbeumo with only one year left in his contract.

Zalewski to Atalanta from Inter, deal done.
Al Ahli is trying for Zakaria from Monaco.

News from Romano

Also, Napoli lost Lukaku for almost 3 months.
They are trying for Hojjund on loan from Manchester.

They need a new striker.

Lukaku’s injury woes could be a stepping stone for Rasmus Hojlund to finally get a club since Napoli are desperately in need of a striker for the time Lukaku will be out.  It seems Monaco have secured Zakaria for the future as a move to Saudi colapses, he will be staying at Monaco.
Zaleeski also completed a move to Atalanta, I was wondering why Inter decided to sell such a young talent when they could groom him properly for the future.

Getting more updates from Romano, time is ticking.

[SatoPrincess]

Rasmus Holjund has not proven himself to a big team like Manchester that he's fit for the club. his performance in the club was really poor and I think he was one of the problems of united down fall last season. United parting ways with him was the right option for the club -- he obviously wanted to keep a good mark at the club, but with the introduction of Sesko Amorim, changes were made and his narrative towards Hojlund doesn't rate him as "fit" for his game plan.

Apparently, Holjund is still a young player so I believe he can still adapt to a new project and improve his style of play with the new club. For Garnacho, I don't know what he will do after Chelsea has failed to intensify his transfer deal. Let's see what happens in the coming weeks and hopefully, he'll  join them before the end of the current transfer window.

It’s so sad that despite his undying passion to continue with the club and to prove himself the club have decided to lay him off this summer, he is not wanted anymore. In my opinion I think he would have been a backup for Sesko while Zirkzee plays in number 8 position but the club knows best and I am not in the position to decide. Hojlung is young and can take on a new challenge elsewhere, we shall see how things unfold for the striker before the end of the window.

[Ryu_Ar1]

It can be that at the end non of these players will leave the club because if you check they don't have a back up striker and they're not making any effort of getting a new striker which is something they need. Manchester United are some how getting things right when it comes to how well they play and this striking department is where they had problems last season and they shouldn't go back to that time when scoring goals was the problem, now Benjamin Šeško is in the squad but they need back up before the window closes. If Amorim really sees these players Zirkzee and Hojlund as important players I don't think he'd let either of them to go and it seems the lucky one to stay will be Zirkzee.

Although it is possible that one of them could leave, the situation is now becoming increasingly unlikely, as the summer transfer window is about to close, making it more likely that they will remain at United, even if their role is limited to being substitutes and part of the rotation. However, they could still get some opportunities, though this also depends on their performance.

Currently, Hojlund and Zirkzee have failed at Manchester United, as their progress at Manchester United and their previous clubs shows a significant difference.
Loaning them out could be an option, but if Amorim wants to keep them for at least one more season, it is still very much possible.
