⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Nheer]

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.

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

EL MOHA is right, Barcelona might look like they are scoring goals even in the absence of Lewandowski but it's not really enough for them. The presence of a proper No.9 is something most people actually underate but it's actually very important. Manchester City for example have Haaland, his presence makes things easy for them even when they are struggling he manages to score for them so just imagine this Barcelona squad with a similar striker like Osimhen, I think they will be unstoppable if all the injured players are back fully fit. If they can afford such a striker then I will advise they go for him because Lewandowski is already old that's why he gets injured frequently.

Yamal, doesn't score much, Rashford won't give them 20+ goals a season and we are not sure if Raphina will be able to score that much again so they need a real goal scorer to be able to compete with Real Madrid now.

[Furious 7]

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.

Although what you said may be slightly true, we can still see that their attack is in trouble.
We know that the average goal scorer is a midfielder who can still be a little reliable but still the striker's job is important.

Lewa is now starting to enter the final phase of his career and this condition must be renewed so that the attacking line becomes a little fresh so in the end, leaving the striker aside and left for too long is clearly a mistake.

But when dealing with Osimhen, it is not easy because of course we know that it is not easy to sign this player now especially when talking about his release clause but still Barcelona must look for options for the striker position.

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.

Barcelona needs a capable center forward, a number 9 striker. Currently, Barcelona's number 9 striker, Lewandowski, is old and his performance is declining. Meanwhile, Ferran Torres hasn't performed well enough to be placed or replace Lewandowski, neither in terms of skill and goal productivity nor physically, making him unsuitable for Barcelona's number 9 position.

You don't need a number 9 before you can win a match. Anceloti one time did it without using number 9 when their striker number 9 Benzema left the club for Saudi Arabia, they were able to win a Laliga before the arrival of Mbape. They didn't even win the league that last season when they had a new number 9 as their defenders were very bad that time, now they are good but I still insist Barcelona can win the league without putting all on new number 9.

However, if they still insist on getting new striker, the perfect fix is Rashford. The guy has made good contributions to the team than I expected, although we don't know for certain if he want to stay with the club. I'm not sure if he will want to return to Manchester United that doesn't appreciate him. He is doing well here but because of that, the asking fee from Manchester United are going to ask for huge money if Barcelona want to keep it. Assuming they are not doing well, the asking price will be small.

Maybe they don't need Osimhen in this case but I still think they need a target man for the future. even though they have several attacking players at the moment the target man position is still vacant.

We could see Lamine Yamal, Rashford, Raphinha or even Ferran in their attack but their roles are more geared towards wingers and false 9s leaving a target man with pure striker blood there when Lewa can't be forced to play.
Currently they can't expect much from Lewa. It's not that he's bad but his age doesn't allow him to be forced to play. Even if Osimhen isn't an option they still need to find alternatives to have a pure striker as their spearhead.

[9ja Amaka]

EL MOHA is right, Barcelona might look like they are scoring goals even in the absence of Lewandowski but it's not really enough for them. The presence of a proper No.9 is something most people actually underate but it's actually very important.

Any team without a proper NO.9 will miss the sauce they bring to the table. A proper NO.9 helps in aerial ball, hold up play, and in counter attack. When you dont have a NO.9 you struggle with anyone in that position. The opponent defenders wont see him as a threat too. I think the Barcelona team are missing Lewandoski as we speak. His absence might had cost them a lot but in the meantime they have Club Brugge to play next in the Champions League. It shouldn't be a tough one for the recent team.

I agree that Barcelona are doing fine but we need to consider how their performance will be in the long run. Buying Osimhen will not be good for Barcelona since they haven't really gotten financial stability and they don't need to enter into more debts but i just hope that most of their key players shouldn't go on injury if not it will really affect the morale of the team. Yes Rashford is becoming a good asset to Barcelona since he is giving assists and also scoring goals, wish he can be consistent in the long term so that Barcelona do not face many challenges as a result of not having many strikers to rotate in the attacking positions.

"Doing fine" is not what Barcelona is after. Anything other than a perfect record means there is something that can be improved.

I don't think they are doing fine by the way. They lost against PSG, then lost against Sevilla, then lost against Real Madrid. That is not where they want to be. Losing the most important games is like losing everything in a season.

The game against Brugge could be an interesting one. It should be a win for Barcelona, but Brugge could show some serious resistance and keep the game tied for a long time. That would make Barcelona nervous.

Barcelona really needs a player like Osimhen, dude. You must be aware that Barcelona only has Lewandowski as a pure CF. Meanwhile Ferran Torres is actually a winger, he isn't very suitable to play as a striker. Lewandowski probably leaves Barcelona when his contract expires in the next year. So, Barcelona has no pure striker. Even Barcelona has many good wingers, their attacking won't be effective if they have no strong CF (striker). Osimhen is surely the right option, unfortunately I agree that Barcelona unlikely has enough money to pay his transfer fees and salary.

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.

Indeed. Barcelona needs a lot of money to pay Osimhen's transfer fees. And Barcelona also must prepare big amount of money to pay his salary regularly. If Barcelona still has a financial problem, it is true that Osimhen is unlikely moving to Barcelona. Osimhen must prefer staying at Galatasaray or moving to another big team which has a strong financial stability.

Actually Lewandowski is one of the few real strikers Barcelona had in the last years, lately they always played without the need of a real number 9, just like Spain do. They always prefer to play with the "falso nueve", that is pretty much their invention, that is the reason they usually but many offensive players but no real strikers.

I too don't see Barcelona coughing out the money to get Osimhen. They simply can't afford it and they might not be motivated to strive harder to get him as they're already some good players that can take the role of Lewandowski. Rashford looks promising enough and he has shown that he's capable of scoring goals.
Then again, like you noted, Galatasaray wouldn't be so keen to part ways with their star player after paying so much themselves to bring him into the squad.

Lewandowski is getting old and we know but from how we have been seeing him playing very sharp and scoring goals I feel he's doing things the right way but is time to let go because they might be thinking of his age and all that, aside from that he's better than some of these young attackers. Barcelona have been an attacking side and it will be hard to even spot a player who's going to score from the midfielders to the strikers because they're all playing to get goals, these things always happens back then when they have Messi and co but now is just few players that are doing the scoring, as of then even defenders do score more.
If Barcelona are considering to have another striker like a back up I think they should go for Osimhen completely but what will now happen to Galatasaray? We know Osimhen is like a fox in the box and some how the both players look alike in front of goal, talking about Lewandowski and Osimhen, let's just face the fact, the player Lewandowski is running out of steam.

Rashford isn't a pure striker and while he's been a significant addition to Barcelona's attack so far, they still need a replacement for Lewandowski.
Financial constraints could hamper the signing process, and Barcelona certainly won't be spending a significant amount of money on a single new player in the upcoming transfer window.
Galatasaray certainly won't let Osimhen go, as he's been a key player who's helped the team achieve several changes. Osimhen's high purchase price will make Galatasaray consider selling him above his current asking price, making it quite difficult for Barcelona to acquire him.

[Adbitco]

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

This is not even a realistic rumour to me because from what I understand right now, Harry Kane is extremely happy at Bayern Munich for now and he still hopes to stay in the club longer. Let's even assume that Bayern Munich wants to sell Kane, it's definitely not going to be Barcelona. Barcelona will be one of the last teams that they would want to sell one of their players to not to even talk of a high value player that will cost a lot. Barcelona still owes Bayern Munich money for the purchase of Lewandowski. It's almost or 4 years now and Barcelona haven't finished paying for Lewandowski they bought years ago.

We know Osimhen is like a fox in the box and some how the both players look alike in front of goal, talking about Lewandowski and Osimhen, let's just face the fact, the player Lewandowski is running out of steam.

Next season, Robert Lewandowski raised 38 years old and playing at higher level competition such as La Liga as central forward I think almost over, right decision did by Barcelona management and Hansi Flick not extend his contract will expiry for next season. No doubt with Robert Lewandowski experienced as top central forward but right now Barcelona games play have faster counter attack looks difficult for him playing as faster as when build up for attacking. But for this season Robert Lewandowski have scored 4 goals of 8 matches in La Liga, for this season still perform quit well but Barcelona's management made decision not extend his contract.

Barcelona have link rumor will sign Victor Osimhen but that players just few season only with Galatasaray and have long duration contract expiring until June 2029, need much money to pay transfer fees because the players have three season contract left and not balance yet with Barcelona's current financial condition.

You are actually right about this rumour here, their is no possibility of harry Kane moving to Barcelona now or in the future because Barcelona is not financially capable to afford such a deal now.
Secondly, it would even be so unwise for Barcelona to break the bank for a player that is 33years of age already, if am not mistaken.
And by his age, the highest he can deliver on a higher level is just two seasons or possibly three, so it's not a wise investment for Barcelona if their is any truth in this rumour in the first place, but in my own opinion, I don't see this deal happening now, or in the future.

[Iamgoat]

The presence of a proper No.9 is something most people actually underate but it's actually very important.

If they can afford such a striker then I will advise they go for him because Lewandowski is already old that's why he gets injured frequently.

Yamal, doesn't score much, Rashford won't give them 20+ goals a season and we are not sure if Raphina will be able to score that much again so they need a real goal scorer to be able to compete with Real Madrid now.

What you are saying is not far from the real truth. Right now Barcelona looks lively and full of young energy but what they still kinda lack is that killer presence inside the box and someone who turns half chances into goals. Lewandowski brought that edge when he first arrived but I must also mention this reality which his age and fitness have really slowed him down. Honestly if Barcelona can have a striker like Osimhen I really have the belief it would completely change their attack. Looking at his  pace, his strength, and the hunger for goals which shows in him every time would give Barca that finishing touch they are still missing. Just like in the case of Haaland at Manchester City, Osimhen would take the pressure off the midfielders and wingers who are currently trying too hard to score. If Barcelona really want to go toe to toe with Madrid again it is better for them to quickly get for themselves a proper No.9 who should be on the top of their list.

It's not about the team's finances, but Harry Kane has now found a team that fits his starting spot and full support, making it impossible for him to leave Bayern Munich, perhaps for the next few seasons, as long as he remains competitive.
This is just a rumor without any clear reason, and not just to Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich certainly won't let go of their star player, especially since Bayern has never experienced a financial crisis, so there's no reason to sell a star player.

If Barcelona can get Osimehn then it will be a very good deal they pulled off, although it’s not going to be easy to getting him to sign considering his high wage demands and also his transfer fees, last summer transfer window we saw how it played down with him before he eventually signed for Galaterssary. But the truth is, Barcelona needs a striker of such caliber to be able to compete with their major Spanish league rivals like Real Madrid. You can see how strong the Real Madrid attacks are this season with the like of Kylian Mbappe leading the front line with so much energy and power. Osimehn have similar qualities too, he’s strong, energetic, he runs and he’s very good with his header and also capable of scoring important goals in big games. Above all, he’s a good team player who attacks and also defends when necessary.

Anything is possible. I believe that for Bayern to let go of Lewandowski to Barcelona, they can also let go of Kane to go and replace Lewandowski in Barcelona. However, if they try it, Bayern will regret it because Kane is still very active and scoring as many goals he can for Bayern. Only if they have seen a replacement for Kane because it was when they signed Kane that they sold Lewandowski to Barcelona.
