Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

Either Ligue 1, or German League or England, i do not think Osimhen will get any transfer this summer; the Napoli hierarchy has reiterated time and time again that neither Osimhen  or other starlets will be leaving Napoli this summer. That aside, i hope Osimhen  gets a move to Bayern Munich; he would solve their goalscoring troubles and become a legend over there. Chelsea on the other hand, is not a healthy place for any striker because the team is simply rebuilding at this point.

Yes, it is the strong desire of the Napoli management that none of their players leave the club in the transfer market, because they are targeting to win the Scudetto next season with the same composition of players. Osimhen, a striker who is trending in the transfer market this time is likely to stay with Napoli next season even though many clubs are looking for his services, such as Bayern Munchen and Chelsea.

Even if Osimhen moves in this transfer window at least he will choose a club that plays in the Champions League, as we know that Chelsea will not play in the Champions League next season because they finish twelfth in the EPL standings. Automatically Bayern Munchen is more likely to get Osimhen than Chelsea. I agree with you that it is better for Osimhen to go to Bayern Munchen next season and it is even more logical that with them Osimhen can be one step closer to winning the Champions League.

There are a lot of doubts about Chelsea, of course, but I wouldn't be overly skeptical of them. Chelsea have changed and they clearly have a good plan in place to build the team up and get the quality back to its former glory. They have good financial backing, they also have a coach they can rely on, but of course there's nothing wrong if a player rejects them because they can't compete in the Champions League next season.

Osimhen is a good striker to join a top team but I don't think he will be as good at Napoli when playing for Chelsea. Osimhen has quality and he was Serie A's top scorer last season, but not every team is suited to his style of play. Bayern Munich are more likely to suit Osimhen, but I'm not sure Chelsea will suit for him.

Either Ligue 1, or German League or England, i do not think Osimhen will get any transfer this summer; the Napoli hierarchy has reiterated time and time again that neither Osimhen  or other starlets will be leaving Napoli this summer. That aside, i hope Osimhen  gets a move to Bayern Munich; he would solve their goalscoring troubles and become a legend over there. Chelsea on the other hand, is not a healthy place for any striker because the team is simply rebuilding at this point.

Correct. I thought so about Victor Osimhen too. He will stay at Napoli much longer. Even Aurelio De Laurentiis (Napoli owner) also said that he would continue to defend Osimhen and he was even relieved because in one of his interviews Victor Osimhen also said that he still feels at home in Napoli. and he felt grateful to be in Napoli.

Aurelio De Laurentiis deliberately set a high price for V.Osimhen so that every club that wanted Osimhen could give up the hunt. Clubs that want V. Osimhen include Chelsea and Manchester United. but of course with Osimhen's high price tag both clubs stopped hunting for Osimhen early. because they realized that Napoli would not lower the price of Osimhen. because Napoli tried to keep him. Even the latest news from Osimhen and Napoli seems to be discussing a salary increase and contract extension.

I actually think the opposite of what you said, because if for example Osimhen could move to another team this summer. Of course the Premier League is also more suitable for him, even if not for the Chelsea team, which was bad last season, but Osimhen could consider it if there is a big team in the Premier League with not bad performance last season who wants to get him this summer. However, if Napoli themselves have confirmed that Osimhen and other young players will not leave Napoli this summer, of course Bayern Munich themselves should not expect to get Osimhen this summer.

I hope Osimhen doesn’t go to Chelsea. They have spent a lot of money on really average players but Osimhen is the real deal imo. He’s the classic number 9, he’d really suit the Premier League. He’s got physicality, pace, a great shot. So yeah, I really hope Chelsea don’t manage to sign him.

This season I thought the Newcastle management would surprise everyone by adding several star players to the squad. But we don't see anything like that. Newcastle management are very cost conscious. Even with a mediocre team last season, their performance was impressive. However, I would say Newcastle need to strengthen their attack if they want to stay in the top four of the points table next season. If the attack is not strong, Newcastle will not be able to maintain consistency next season. Because the renowned teams in the Premier League are trying to increase their strength. So Newcastle management should also strengthen the team.

It's still surprise to see Eddie Howe refrain from adding additional players to his roster; is he unhappy with the guys he has? He was pleased with the players; what he now requires is an increase in their performance. I doubt the club's performance are going to suffer this season; they're constantly at the top and retain winning as their primary prioritize in every game. Newcastle United is a middling club, yet they have a solid record in the English Premier League. Eddie Howe, the magpies' manager, is working hard to reassemble the team. They have qualified for the UEFA Champions League, and we all know what that entails.

The Newcastle team is a mediocre team. They still managed to qualify for the Champions League. This is a big achievement for them. The performances of teams such as Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea were not regular so Newcastle managed to qualify for the Champions League.
Liverpool, Chelsea and United are strengthening their squads. And that's why Newcastle coach Eddie Howe can't stay in the competition if he can't strengthen his squad. Despite performing well in the Champions League, the team needs a stronger squad. What coach Eddie Howe will decide remains to be seen.

I also agree that Osimhen is suitable for the Premier League, but as you might think, he is not suitable for Chelsea. I tend to hope he will become one of Liverpool's strikers rather than choosing to join Chelsea who want him. Osimhen is also good for Arsenal, but I don't think Arsenal will try to sign him with very high price.

Meanwhile I don't think Napoli really want to sell him to another team before they find a replacement striker who is as good or better than Osimhen. Napoli still hope that Osimhen can help them secure the title next season, but as long as the transfer market hasn't closed, there's always a possibility that something could happen with Osimhen.

[Dickiy]

I think we can say that the transfer of Nkunku is a good transfer for them.I hope he plays successful football at Chelsea.I think he should buy players like Nkunku and if he can do it cheaper, it can be an incredible gain for Chelsea at the end of the day.

I don't know if Chelsea intends to get another striker, Aubameyang is definitely going to leave the club, Havertz has already left for Arsenal and Broja is out with an ACL injury, that leaves Chelsea with Nkunku as their only striker. Nkunku is good enough to lead the line for Chelsea, but they need at least another striker, but the thing is, are they going to get a quality striker for a high amount of money that will compete with Nkunku for a starting place in the team or do they just buy a makeshift striker.

Looks like Chelsea is still intending to add to the strength of their front line by bringing in one more striker to the club. The name of the striker who is currently quite busy being discussed that Mauricio Pochettino is interested in is Dusan Vlahovic who is currently at the Juventus club. And the good news is that Juventus are also ready to let go of Dusan Vlahovic if Chelsea dares to redeem the player for 80 million euros. But isn't that price too high?

Chelsea are still in their renewal phase and I'm hearing the latest news now that Juventus are offering Vlahovic in exchange for Lukaku from Chelsea. I think this is a good opportunity for Chelsea to go further, but the problem is that Lukaku didn't really respond to this offer because he said that he only wants to play for Inter Milan, he is really serious about wanting to play. back to Milan. It will be a bit of a problem for Chelsea regarding the deal with Juventus. So far I hope Pochettino can negotiate with Lukaku regarding this deal, I hope he can persuade Lukaku to agree to the offer. This is a good opportunity for Chelsea, because with the arrival of Vlahovic, The Blues will be able to strengthen and sharpen their attacks. 80 million euros is not a high price for a striker of Vlahovic's class and that is indeed the current market price.

However, if Napoli themselves have confirmed that Osimhen and other young players will not leave Napoli this summer, of course Bayern Munich themselves should not expect to get Osimhen this summer.

The hope for clubs from the Premier League to bring in Osimhen seems to be difficult. because Napoli will never consider price negotiations. Because from the start they had no intention of releasing Osimhen from their club. But as long as the transfer market is still open then anything can still happen. But realistically, any club would not dare to pay Osimhen at the price currently being offered by Napoli. Even Bayern might not dare to touch Osimhen at the price that Napoli is currently charging. And slowly the clubs that wanted Osimhen have started to back off from the hunt.

I hope Osimhen doesn’t go to Chelsea. They have spent a lot of money on really average players but Osimhen is the real deal imo. He’s the classic number 9, he’d really suit the Premier League. He’s got physicality, pace, a great shot. So yeah, I really hope Chelsea don’t manage to sign him.

I think, if Osimhen is basically very suitable to play in the English Premier League, then i think there is nothing wrong if Chelsea can bring Osimhen at least it is also good for Osimhen. But maybe, you just can't accept if Osimhen plays for Chelsea, because the quality that Osimhen has at least Osimhen is at a better club like Manchester United or maybe Liverpool which seems like you expect it. But for me, at this moment of course those teams can compete to sign Osimhen, but if only Chelsea are willing to spend money on Osimhen, then i think Chelsea also deserve to have Osimhen and there is nothing wrong with the transfer if it happens.

They have qualified for the UEFA Champions League, and we all know what that entails.

I also was expecting to see at least 5 players joining Newcastle United this summer but it seems Newcastle are only concentrated on strengthening the very important areas of the squad for the coming season which I consider a very smart move instead of rushing into deals just because they can afford to. Hopefully in January, we may expect more signing’s but this summer window is still long and there is still enough time to expect something from Newcastle.

Victor Osimhen involvement in Napoli played an important role, because of that Napoli made a difficult decision so that Osimhen would continue to stay. I appreciate Chelsea's interest in wanting to fix the mess the former coach made by not being able to capitalize on the skills the players had at that time. Now Osimhen is still in a gray area whether he will be called up to an English club or prefer PSG, who are rumored to be trying to find an alternative to replace Mbappe if officially sold to Madrid.

If Osimhen is to play in the Premier League by the next season, he should join teams that have already qualified for the Champions League rather than joining teams like Chelsea or Liverpool that didn't qualify. 
The possibility of Osimhen joining the premier league this season will not be realistic because the top premier league clubs who qualify for the champions league do not intend to sign him. Perhaps he ought to think about joining PSG, where he might play as the number 9 player in place of Mbappe.

That is what he should do at first glance, but there is also some potential for him in joining clubs like Chelsea or Liverpool even when they didn't qualify for the Champions League. In that case I would prefer Liverpool over Chelsea I guess because having Jurgen Klopp as the coach can get him to the next level and Liverpool is setting their own goals high and that perfectly aligns with what Osimhen wants to achieve. He also has the advantage that he is still young. A season without playing Champions League doesn't hurt as much as if he was already close to the age of 30.

Looks like Chelsea is still intending to add to the strength of their front line by bringing in one more striker to the club. The name of the striker who is currently quite busy being discussed that Mauricio Pochettino is interested in is Dusan Vlahovic who is currently at the Juventus club. And the good news is that Juventus are also ready to let go of Dusan Vlahovic if Chelsea dares to redeem the player for 80 million euros. But isn't that price too high?

That's outrageous! Juventus is actually demanding a staggering $89 million for him, and personally, I find that price to be absurd. With just 10 goals and 2 assists, his performance seems mediocre at best in my opinion. If I were Pochettino and faced with such a hefty price tag from Juventus, I would prefer to ignore their offer and instead increase my bid for Osimhen, who has a market value of $120 million. But, we all know that Napoli is not willing to engage in such negotiations as their president has repeatedly stated that he is not available for sale.

I find it hard to understand why Chelsea is considering adding more midfielders to their team, especially how they fell for Enzo Fernandez's World Cup offer. Although Enzo is a talented player, I don't quite comprehend why they are now setting their sights on Moses Caicedo, who Brentford is asking for $100 million. It seems everyone is attempting to squeeze even more money out of Chelsea, taking advantage of the huge funds they have received from player sales. It's difficult to understand why a player like Caicedo, who was acquired for a mere $5 million between 2021 and 2023 and has only scored one goal, would warrant such a high price, hell no!

I don't think Chelsea will be able to convince Victor Osimhen to sign for them, although Todd Boehly is a good negotiator but Victor Osimhen needs to play champions league football and at the moment Chelsea can't offer that to him. Chelsea biggest mistakes last season was them to finishing in the top 4. They had a bad season but they would had tried to end in top 4 so it'll be easier to attract players like Victor Osimhen. He's a perfect striker and will fit Chelsea perfectly. Chelsea needs a striker that is as strong and technical as Drogba was and Victor Osimhen is the striker closest to him.

Pochettino would work magic with Victor Osimhen at Chelsea and I wished he joins although I'm not hoping on this to happen atleast not this season. If we can qualify for champions league football next season then we can go for him. For now his market value is around £120 million which I won't want my club to spend that much on any players as we're not playing in the champions league (big stage). PSG is the club that's likely to sign Victor Osimhen if Mbappe leaves to Madrid. Chelsea are building at the moment and I don't think we're ready to  sign a star player into the team yet.

I also think the same about Chelsea's transfer policy so far. They have been so extravagant in spending on players that basically did little to help them achieve a better performance than the previous season. In fact I don't think Pochettino should be allowed to bring more new players to a team when Chelsea have a lot of players that they haven't get more chance.

Pochettino needs to be as discreet as possible about his plans for Chelsea, meaning he shouldn't rush into buying a lot of players without evaluating his team for some time. There are still plenty of transfer markets that Chelsea can take advantage of, so Pochettino has to think of something that can clearly help his strategy instead of getting too passionate.

However, if Napoli themselves have confirmed that Osimhen and other young players will not leave Napoli this summer, of course Bayern Munich themselves should not expect to get Osimhen this summer.

Any other teams should not anticipate being able to sign Osimhen this summer because Napoli will not part with him no matter how much is offered to them. Napoli view Osimhen as their best player because he is the one who brings a smile to their faces after many years without the team winning a trophy. However, not just Napoli will not want to let Osimhen go anytime soon; they may have seen Osimhen in the Premier League or any other league.

However, even if Osimhen plays for Napoli the following season, I believe he will prefer to play for another team, and Napoli won't prevent that from happening because, as one of the best players, everyone knows Osimhen is expected to move from one team to another in order to perform there and also end his career like other strikers because ending a career is not something good.

You are right. It would be better for Osimhen to choose Liverpool over Chelsea. Chelsea are now a team in complete disarray. Their performance in the last season was very poor. They can't even come in the top 10 of the points table. Mauricio Pochettino has just become the manager of Chelsea. There is no guarantee that he will be able to stabilize the party. And so Liverpool would be the better option for OSimhen. Having Osimhen will make Liverpool's attack stronger. At the same time, Osimhen can score a lot of goals if he is with the same experienced squad.

[Pokapoka124]

Mauricio Pochettino, the current Chelsea manager, getting acquainted with his players, he has confirmed that he intends to meets the Ukraine international, Mykhailo Mudryk before the club departs for pre-season. Pochettino began his new job as Blues manager this week, taking over for Graham Potter. "I'm going to meet Mudryk before he comes to pre-season," Pochettino added.
"I really like to see and know him, and then design the best strategy to help him reach the level that Chelsea expects."

This is a good step towards changing the current situation of the team. It is good to know he is getting acquainted with the players and creating an atmosphere for team work and togetherness. Maybe this could help Mykhailo Mudryk finally find comfort and feel at home at the North London club. Chelsea supporters will be hoping  Pochettino to get it right this time and return the club back to winning ways again.
