Nicolas Jackson Next Club odds

Chelsea’s 24-year-old Senegalese striker, Nicolas Jackson, has scored 30 goals in his two seasons at Stamford Bridge. Jackson arrived in West London for £32m from Villarreal in 2023 and has been a regular for the Blues.

His work rate and attitude have never been in question, despite concerns about his technique and natural finishing ability. Given that the Blues aren’t desperate to part from him, his current odds to remain a Chelsea player for the start of the 2025/26 season offer immense value.

Chelsea have reportedly put a £100m price on Jackson’s contract this summer. They’ve won the 2025 Club World Cup, so they aren’t in a hurry to transfer him, despite signing Liam Delap and Joao Pedro in the close season.

The betting markets currently give Jackson a 62.5% chance of remaining a Blue. In reality, it’s likely to be far higher than that. It’s unlikely that another club will pay £100m for Jackson in the next month, or even at all.

Darwin Nunez Next Club odds

Liverpool’s Uruguayan powerhouse, Darwin Nunez, has recently been linked with a move to Serie A champions Napoli. However, reports suggest that any deal for the 26-year-old has become expensive for them.

The Reds are refusing to lower their £52m asking price for Nunez. Napoli’s sporting director, Giovanni Manna, is said to be meeting with Nunez’s agent this week.

Sky Sports Italia report that Napoli are prepared to move on quickly from Nunez and turn their attention towards Udinese forward Lorenzo Lucca, who is reportedly available for less than £30m.

Currently, the betting markets suggest that there’s a 55.56% chance of Nunez staying in Liverpool. Unless Napoli can reach an agreement, this probability could increase in the coming days.

Alejandro Garnacho Next Club odds

The long-term future of Alejandro Garnacho appears to be settled. The Argentine has been dropped from Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United squad, and now it’s just a matter of deciding where he plans to move next.

Garnacho has recently been given the chance to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr but reportedly turned down a move to the Middle East.

In fact, Garnacho is said to be focused on remaining in the Premier League, and Chelsea are still his preferred destination. With Christopher Nkunku still expected to exit the Blues this summer, Garnacho could come in to replace him in Enzo Maresca’s squad.

Rodrygo Next Club odds

Real Madrid’s Brazilian forward, Rodrygo, has been at the Bernabeu since he joined from Santos six years ago. The 24-year-old wide forward has scored only 32 goals in 172 appearances for Los Blancos, and it’s unclear whether Xabi Alonso plans to keep him in his squad in the future.

Real are reportedly very interested in Liverpool’s centre half, Ibrahima Konate. Media outlets are suggesting that the Reds have offered Konate plus £30m to secure Rodrygo.

This player-plus-cash bid likely won’t be enough for Real. However, if Luis Diaz leaves Anfield this summer, the Reds could have more cash to tempt Real to sell Rodrygo to a major Champions League rival.

At a probability of only 20%, this appears to be a value bet given Real’s strong interest in Konate and Liverpool’s likely need for another wide forward if Diaz goes to Bayern Munich, as expected.

Hugo Ekitike Next Club odds

Eintracht Frankfurt’s 23-year-old French striker, Hugo Ekitike, has been a revelation in the German Bundesliga. He scored 15 goals in 33 appearances in 2024/25, building on the four goals in 14 appearances he managed in the 2023/24 season while on loan from PSG.

Ekitike is said to have an £86m release clause in his current contract with Frankfurt, which has made Newcastle United and Liverpool aware of his availability.

Newcastle are desperate to reinforce their forward line and provide competition to Alexander Isak. With Will Osula the Magpies’ only back-up option to Isak at present, Ekitike would represent a clever move. He’d also act as a natural successor to Isak if he moves on in the next two years.

It’s said that Newcastle have attempted to sign Ekitike twice in recent seasons, underlining their long-term interest in his services.
