⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Altryist]

Barcelona could bring in Osimhen despite their financial precarious situation if they truly wanted to. They would need to sell one midfielder, such as De Jong. I think the price would still cover the cost of acquiring Osimhen and registering him with La Liga. This is one of the best ways, as Barcelona still has enough players in that position, so even if they lose one, they can still maintain their form.

In my opinion, Barcelona are doing perfectly fine in attack, and there’s no need to think about buying Osimhen or any other striker. I can see that Lewandowski is playing less frequently now, and injuries have become more common for him, so I can assume that Barcelona might want to find someone to replace him. But I’ll repeat that they already have plenty of attacking players, and scoring goals is definitely not a problem for Barcelona. Rashford has also fitted into the game well, now he not only provides good assists but is also capable of scoring important goals.

As for Scott Mctominay having any love for Tottenham I don't think there is anything of such within him if not he would have pushed for a move before getting promoted to the first team because other teams including Tottenham declared interest then but he rejected them to stay committed to his mothers land. The case of Napoli, they are very good in bringing the beast out of young talented players whose form remains in doubt but finds it difficult staying with them for a long time the reasons is what I can't tell but this time I can see the story changing in that of mctominay

Which first team are you referring to? He was at Manchester United before moving to Napoli. You are right that Napoli under Antonio Conte has brought out the best out of not just young players but even older ones. Romelu Lukaku was not doing badly until he was injured. Scott McTominay was not well regarded at Manchester United, but he has become a star player at Napoli. Some players could have special love for a club, but like you said, this might not be the case regarding the Scottish midfielder and Tottenham.

Fiorentina's situation worsened considerably with the arrival of Stefano Pioli, and the management decided to make its move:

Fiorentina are on the verge of sacking head coach Stefano Pioli after zero wins in 10 Serie A games.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1985178792495636938

Fiorentina is currently in the relegation zone, with a real risk of being relegated if nothing is done. My question is: who would be the ideal coach for Fiorentina at this moment? The coach who accepted this position would be under immense pressure in every game, and if he failed for 3 or 4 games, he could be fired, damaging his reputation. So, who would be the coach with enough courage to accept this job? Remember that Fiorentina, since the start of Serie A this season, haven't won a single game, even after playing 10 matches. That's a frightening number.

Glad FIorentina's management still have some sense. Firstly, they were terminated Daniele Pradè's contract, then sacking Pioli. I'm very happy they are not a brainless team even they are at the relegation zone at this moment.

However, i'm not feeling good enough when they have nominated Giuntoli as a new sport director. Nevertheless i hope they get good name candidates to replace Pioli is still remain unknown.

Let's see what names to come very soon. We have several good names available. They deserve the blame if they decide to sign another flop as a new manager.

Let's forget the sweet and calming words that we have seen and focus on these two, the player which Vinicius Jr and the manager Alonso, they seem to be happy and from the above picture it show that nothing is wrong that they're on the same page but I'll have to ask, after the El Clasico game that Madrid won and Vinicius Jr was substituted with the player saying things out of anger and we could see it on his face, do these two still have a solid relationship?

Vinicius Jr seem to have changed since the Ballon d’Or. Under Ancelloti, Real Madrid rallied around Vini and supported him but I don’t think there is that same level of energy under a abi Alonso. Vini’s relationship with the manger has definitely soured, in his apology he mentioned every one but the manager. That’s why I believe there is going to be more drama between the two.

I agree with you, Barcelona doesn't really need Osimhen. They already have a wealth of talent in attack, so it would be a complete mess for Osimhen to join Hansi Flick squad, as his role is clearly a pure striker. On the other hand, Hansi Flick prefers a well organized attack, where every player is capable of scoring goals. Besides where would they get the money? In a difficult financial situation like this, increasing Osimhen's salary burden is not the solution.

I have been seeing this news everywhere and I really don't know how truthful this is however with the people that are reporting this it means that it is actually true, if Barcelona can achieve this it will be a great and wonderful decision that will help the club grow, victor osimhen is a very good striker and he can fit in Barcelona very well as a replacement for Lewandowski, however the problem will be the money, can Barcelona really buy victor osimhen Because the price to sign him will be huge can Barcelona bring out the funds needed to sign Victor osimhen considering there financial status right now, well if they are very determine to sign him I believe they will do it because they understand the value he will bring to the club, like I said earlier victor osimhen is a good player and coming to back will be wonderful.

Considering how much Galatasaray spent on getting Osimhen, I don’t think Barcelona can afford him if a trade is open. Barcelona does not have the financial strength to buy Osimhen for 80m besides Osimhen is happy at Galatasaray, the fans love him and he’s getting a fat check every week. I don’t see him leaving Gala even if Barca miraculously come up with the transfer fee.

This is truly interesting, because in the previous season, Fiorentina was still in the top 6 of Serie A, up 2 places from the top 8 the previous season. The change of their new coach to Stefano Pioli was expected to bring Fiorentina much stronger and qualify for the Champions League. However, what happened was defeat after defeat, not even a single win. Now, Fiorentina is in the relegation zone.

News about Fiorentina sacking Pioli has indeed spread widely, and Fiorentina has called Pioli. However, it was reported that Pioli actually refused to resign as coach of the club, resulting in lengthy discussions.

Rashford has probably come to Barcelona for one season but if he can perform well in Barcelona then Barcelona might plan for him in the long term. On the other hand, Barcelona's attacking lineup is currently plagued by injuries, players like Raphinha, Lewandowski are out of the field due to injuries. Raphinha may come back soon but replacing Lewandowski is definitely important for Barcelona. Lewandowski is an older footballer so he is more prone to injuries, if Barcelona does not find a replacement for Lewandowski quickly then Barcelona will face problems in the attacking lineup later. Although several names of players are coming forward as a replacement for Lewandowski, there is no news official yet so we have to wait for Barcelona's next decision.

Xabi has accepted Vini's apologize. There's no any conflict that is still remain between them. If you're thinking they're still having a problem, Xabi would not be playing Vini as a starting line up against Valencia yesterday.

I think that clearly explains that how Xabi has no problem with Vini. They're fine, and working together for the trophies.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have sacked their head coach according to information posted by Fabrizio Romano on X. Wolves has been struggling since the start of the season as they remained at the bottom of the premier league table. This was a Man they gave new contract just 45 days ago and wolves management has been saying publicly that they will back their manager in the January transfer window to turn their season around. It seems they have have changed their mind and sacked him after week 10. I personally think that Wolves did the right thing.

I blame the club owners for the poor performance of the team this season. They sold their best players and couldn’t sign in quality replacements yet they expect the manager to perform a miracle.  This is not to take the blame away from Vitor Pereira, he is not exactly top of the cream manager material.

[Renampun]

Osimhen would be very successful if he transferred to Barcelona, ​​but it's important to remember that Galatasaray acquired him for a very high transfer fee. So, if Barcelona wants to sign him, they'll have to spend a lot of money. We know a team with financial difficulties won't have much money to spend on him. Galatasaray, on the other hand, wouldn't let such a quality player go for a lower fee. If Barcelona doesn't face financial difficulties, they could sign him, but I think that would be problematic.

For now, Barcelona's financial condition can be said to be quite improved, even though it is not completely stable, but they have begun to show signs of recovery after going through a period of crisis, and if they want to make a purchase on Victor Osimhen from Galatasaray, they need to consider it very carefully, because Osimhen's price is not a cheap price, Galatasaray bought him at a high price from Napoli, so if Barcelona wants to recruit him in the next transfer market, they must really ensure that the club's financial condition is ready to bear the burden of a large transfer fee and salary. so if when they have spent so much money, but he does not have much impact on the club's performance, it will be a big loss for Barcelona.

The reason for Barcelona's sudden interest in victor Osimhen is for a possible replacement of Robert Lewandowski whom might be on his way out of the club at the end of this season according to reports so it's a move in the right direction for both the club and the Galatasaray striker if the deal finally goes through, I think Victor Osimhen would fit in perfectly into the Barcelona squad due to his numerous abilities and also his ability to survive anywhere he goes to.

[SatoPrincess]

I understand Everton being in search of a CF first of all. In the end, I guess most of you would agree with me that Beto is a horrible striker.    He is a poor finisher.

However are they really sure about targeting Jackson as a replacement? I know they would go for a loan deal but still they can look for better alternatives first. I don't think he is a good fit for the Premier League in the first place.

I have never been a fan of Nicolas Jackson. I think he’s a poor finisher and doesn’t deserve to be Chelsea starting striker that’s why they replaced him. Now if Everton think that Jackson is the cream of the top and they want him Chelsea should sell him asap and use that money to strengthen their squad.

And he'll make a perfect replacement for Lewandowski and probably do better than what Lewandowski has done at the club, Osimhen is one of the finest top 9 in Europe his stats are outstanding and they won't regret signing him if they could, anyways they messed up cause they would've signed him for a fair offer in the last summer window but would currently need to overpay to sign Osimhen out of Galatasaray especially as he recently joined the club permanently.

I don't know how legit this about Napoli bringing out the best in young players but one thing am certain about is that it seems every player that have left Manchester United due to poor form actually went out there and over perform, an example is the likes of Jesse lingard, onana and so many more and this is because Manchester United was lacking the coach to actually boost these players mentality and moreover Manchester United was I think dead psychological which affected so many promising and prominent talents there.

The coach who accepted this position would be under immense pressure in every game, and if he failed for 3 or 4 games, he could be fired, damaging his reputation. So, who would be the coach with enough courage to accept this job? Remember that Fiorentina, since the start of Serie A this season, haven't won a single game, even after playing 10 matches. That's a frightening number.

I don't see any good candidate either, just like the way Fiorentina sign Pioli, he was unemployed after Al Nassr sack him and then Fiorentina sign him because he was available. I speculate, it would be either Igor Tudor or Walter Mazzarri, they're the biggest candidates because they have experience in Serie A teams.

The coach in Serie A teams are mostly just rotate from one team to another one.

What are you saying? Who are the strikers Barcelona have? Lewandoski is old and not what he used to be; he cant even stay fit. Who is his backup? Ferran Torres? He is average at best. Attack is the one area where Barcelona really needs a top player. They have wingers like Rashford, Raphinha and Yamal, but they don't have good strikers, so buying Osimhen won't be a bad decision or a striker even better than Osimhen. I don't think you've been watching Barcelona because if you have, you wouldn't say this.

They even need another winger too, not just a striker. Neither Raphina nor Rasford is a playmaker. They need a winger who is a playermaker. Somebody who can take on players like Yamal doesn't and create chances out of nothing. Scoring goals is not all that matters. People who create the goals and control the game are also important.

[GbitG]

What's clear is that the Barcelona president emphasized that there won't be any new signings in January, but it's not yet certain whether they'll be in the transfer market at the end of the season. The names rumored to be of interest to Barcelona are Osimhen or Vlahovic. Both center-forwards are being touted as potential replacements when Lewy is no longer at Barcelona. But, who's better? But again, this will undoubtedly be a problem with fees and money at Barcelona.


Source: Should Barcelona sign Victor Osimhen or Dusan Vlahovic?

Let me added some more rumors.....
Barcelona is also scouting for Harry Kane like recently there is rumors came out where Bayren Munich striker Harry Kane have expressed his opinion that he can potentially leave the club for Barcelona. Harry Kane is just a precious, solid striker who can definitely be a good replacement for Robert Lewandowski. The release clause for Harry Kane will be active in 2026 around €65 million...

Moreover, Harry Kane will be good option but in my opinion his age is bit higher as compared to Julian Alveraz and Victor Osimhen and that's why he won't be able to play more years at Barca.

Let's see what happens next

Rashford has also fitted into the game well, now he not only provides good assists but is also capable of scoring important goals.

Scoring goals is not a problem you said? I think you don’t actually follow any of the Barcelona matches if not there won’t be this opinion from you. Let me start with Rashford or any current Barcelona players or attackers are not an out and out striker they can only play there in terms of emergency but there are matches where you definitely need you striker to help box the opponent box and winning Ariel balls for you, we all saw it during the el Classico that they seriously need a striker to lead the line in absence of Lewandowski.

The el Classico exposed them without a striker there attacking threat was simply just not there and as such if they can afford him then Osimhen will be a huge upgrade to that Barcelona attack
