Predictions for the 2023 Soccer Transfer Window

The 2022-23 European soccer season has come to an end following Manchester City’s Champions League success in Istanbul. All attention now switches to the summer transfer window, with clubs able to agree on deals with targets ahead of the start of the 2023-24 season.

Some of the biggest stars could be on the move this summer, with Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Chelsea among the clubs that could be set to spend hundreds of millions of dollars. However, you can find the latest soccer odds and our soccer transfers predictions below.

England captain Harry Kane could be on the move this summer, as Tottenham’s highest scorer in history is currently assessing his future. Kane scored an incredible 30 Premier League goals for struggling Spurs last term, and has been a long-term target for Manchester United.

However, the Red Devils appear to be growing restless in their pursuit, and will reportedly explore other options. Real Madrid would be a preferred buyer from a Spurs perspective, as it would mean not selling to a Premier League rival.

However, we struggle to see the Spanish giants parting with over $100 million after signing Jude Bellingham, meaning our soccer transfers predictions see him remaining in North London.

Pick: To Stay At Tottenham (-100)

The soccer stats show that there are few more complete defensive midfielders in the world than Declan Rice. Rice played a pivotal role in West Ham’s historic Europa Conference League success at the end of the 2022-23 season, but the club’s chairman David Gold admitted to TalkSport that a move away from the London Stadium is increasingly likely.

The Hammers will demand at least $80 million for their captain this summer, and he is Arsenal’s primary transfer target. Rice came through the youth system at Chelsea, but a return to Stamford Bridge is incredibly unlikely.

Man United have been long-term admirers, but the Red Devils will prioritize a striker over a midfielder this summer. Therefore, we see Rice playing for Arsenal next term.

Pick: Arsenal (-400)

Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic was hot property a couple of years ago, as a number of Europe’s elite were chasing his signature after bursting onto the scene with Fiorentina. However, the move to Turin hasn’t worked out as planned, as he netted just ten goals in 27 Serie A appearances last season. Given that Juventus failed to qualify for the Champions League, they will be looking to offload the Serbian this summer.

Arsenal were interested in the striker in 2022, while Man United remain in the market for a striker. However, a move to Bayern Munich appears to make the most sense, as the 23-year-old presents a more affordable option than many other strikers on the market this summer.

Pick: Bayern Munich (+200)

Kai Havertz arrived at Stamford Bridge with huge promise, but it is a widespread soccer transfer prediction that the German will be on the move this summer.

The 24-year-old is a polarizing player at Stamford Bridge, despite netting a winner in a Champions League final for the Blues. However, his record of just seven goals in 35 Premier League games last term shows his clear lack of finishing ability.

Chelsea will need to sell players this summer to comply with FFP regulations, meaning that the Blues will offload the German. One of our most confident soccer transfers predictions sees the German international moving to Real Madrid.

Pick: Real Madrid (-150)

Neymar’s future at PSG looks unclear coming into the summer transfer window, as the club looks to discontinue its approach to bringing in global superstars. Lionel Messi has already departed the club, and the Brazilian looks set to follow the World Cup winner out of the exit door at the Parc des Princes.

A number of clubs will be monitoring Neymar’s future, but a stay in Europe looks unlikely, with neither Man United nor Chelsea prioritizing a move for the Brazilian.

Therefore, a move to join the Saudi Pro League looks to be a standout choice, as he will reportedly be offered a mind-boggling fee to join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and N’Golo Kante in the Middle East.

Pick: Any Saudi Pro League Club (+200)

The hottest property in European soccer looks set for a move this summer, as Napoli will reportedly lower their $140 million demand to allow striker Victor Osimhen his move away from the club.

The Nigerian showcased his excellent pedigree in Serie A in 2022-23, as he scored 26 goals in 32 games as Napoli ended their long wait for a top-flight title.

His high transfer fee will likely put off moves from Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, while the 24-year-old would likely prefer to join a team playing in the Champions League, ruling out Chelsea. PSG could be an interesting angle, but if the rumors are to be believed, he is Manchester United’s top striker target this summer.
