We have reached that time of year again, as the latest transfer odds dominate the airwaves during the summer transfer window.
The 2025 summer transfer window slammed shut on 10th June, but it opened again on 16th June and will stay open until the real transfer deadline day, 1st September. Here, we will look at some of the transfer odds ahead of some of the biggest potential deals, including the race for one of the hottest forwards in Europe right now.
Latest transfer odds – our selection of the best transfer special prices
Viktor Gyokeres next club favourites: Arsenal (4/5)
The Swedish international has dominated Primeira Liga the last two seasons, scoring 68 goals in 66 appearances in that competition. He also has 97 goals in 102 games for Sporting in all competitions, so it is clear why many clubs would like to sign him this summer.
Arsenal have been the most concrete so far and Gyokeres reportedly would like to sign for the Gunners, more than for any other club. However, Sporting's asking price has been a real obstacle so far, although at 4/5 odds, the bookies believe Arsenal and Sporting will find common ground in the end.
The next in line are Manchester United at 3/1 odds. Despite already signing Matheus Cunha and reportedly leading the race for Bryan Mbeumo, the Red Devils are also among the frontrunners to sign Sporting's forward Viktor Gyokeres.
Manchester United had a horrible last season, finishing 15th in the Premier League standings, and while they did reach the Europa League final, losing it to Tottenham meant that United will not be playing in Europe this season. So, the Red Devils will go all out this summer and have already splashed the cash to sign Cunha, (£62.5m), but they will not stop there.
In addition to these two, the Saudi Pro League (13/2) are also following the situation with the Swedish international, along with Spanish clubs (9/1).
Xavi Simons next club favourites: RB Leipzig (9/4)
The Dutch midfielder will likely stay at RB Leipzig, at least that is what the odds imply. However, Simons is seemingly looking for his way out and according to some reports, he is causing trouble in the dressing room. So, if this is true, Leipzig might end up selling Simons despite their initial desire to keep him.
Newcastle are the first in line at 3/1 odds, while both Bayern Munich and Tottenham are right behind at 5/1 odds. These are the two main favourites to land Simons if he does not stay at Leipzig, but many other teams are reportedly interested in his services.
Atletico Madrid and Manchester City are the next among the teams interested in Simons' services at 8/1 and 10/1 odds, respectively.
In any case, backing up any team other than Leipzig to sign Simons at those odds is quite tempting, especially if Simons is truly throwing a tantrum in the dressing room.
Victor Osimhen next club favourites: Any Turkish club (Evens)
For the second summer in a row, Victor Osimhen's next club odds are one of the most interesting transfer odds to bet on. Last summer, Osimhen went from signing for Al Ahli in a “done deal”, to being “inches away” to signing for Chelsea, only to end up at Galatasaray on a season-long loan.
So, this summer we get Round 2 of the Osimhen transfer saga, with any Turkish club favoured to sign him at Evens, either permanently or through another loan.
However, the bookies also offer 11/8 odds on Osimhen signing for any Saudi team, which makes sense since Saudi clubs have enough money to cover both Osimhen's transfer fee and his reportedly outrageous wage demands.
Next in line are Juventus, Galatasaray and Liverpool, who do not have a great chance of landing Osimhen. Of all three, the Reds might have the best chance.
Darwin Nunez next club favourites: Napoli (2/5)
According to the bookies, Nunez will leave Liverpool this season. The forward from Uruguay did not have the best of seasons with the Reds, scoring just five goals in the Premier League, so the reports of Nunez most likely to find a new club are not too surprising.
Leading the race are Napoli at 2/5 odds, who are looking to strengthen their attack despite just winning Serie A this season. For Nunez to stay at Liverpool Bet365 offers odds of 5/1, while the next in line are Atletico Madrid at 8/1 odds. A move to Saudi Arabia, to any team, is priced at 10/1.
Jonathan David next club favourites: Juventus (5/4)
Another interesting transfer to monitor is the one of Jonathan David. It seems that three teams are in a close race for Lille's forward – Juventus (5/4), Fenerbahce (3/1) and Inter Milan (4/1). Napoli are also in the mix with 7/1 odds, as well as Galatasaray at 8/1. Saudi Arabian teams are also looking at him and you can get odds on any Saudi team signing David at 10/1.
The Canadian striker has seemingly outgrown Lille and we expect him to move this summer, but it remains to be seen who will win the war for his signature.
Rodrygo next club favourites: Real Madrid (2/5)
At 2/5 odds, it is expected that the Brazilian winger will stay in Madrid with Real, but there are a few teams interested in his services. Arsenal are one of them and the Gunners are the main favourites to get Rodrygo if he leaves Real Madrid at 15/4 odds.
Close behind are Newcaste at 13/2 odds, while other interested teams do not have a strong chance in this race.
Other transfer odds markets to watch
Elsewhere, there is the possible transfer of Emiliano Martinez, who at this point seems likely to leave Aston Villa, with United being the front-runners to sign him at 11/8 odds. Martinez staying with the Villans would not be a huge surprise at 5/2 odds either, with Atletico Madrid also lurking at 11/2 odds.
Meanwhile, Chelsea and Galatasaray are also in the mix at 7/1 and 8/1 odds respectively to sign the Argentine goalkeeper.
