We’ve reached that time of year again, as the latest transfer odds dominate the airwaves at the start of the summer transfer window.
The 2025 summer transfer window slams shut on 10 June, before being opened again on 16 June and staying open until the real transfer deadline day on 1 September.
Here, we'll 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: Man Utd (8/11)
Despite already signing Matheus Cunha and reportedly leading the race for Bryan Mbeumo, the Red Devils are also clear frontrunners to sign Sporting's forward Viktor Gyokeres.
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's clear why many clubs would like to sign him this summer.
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 Man Utd won't 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 won't stop there.
Liverpool and Arsenal at 11/2 odds are also interested in Gyokeres, which is understandable since they both really need a true forward.
In addition to these three, Atletico Madrid (8/1) and Chelsea (14/1) are the other favourites to sign Gyokeres, but the odds clearly suggest that the Swede will end up in Manchester.
Xavi Simons next club favourites: RB Leipzig (2/1)
The Dutch midfielder will likely stay at RB Leipzig, at least that's 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.
Bayern Munich are the first in line at 4/1 odds, while Man City are right behind at 6/1 odds. These are the two main favourites to land Simons if he doesn't stay at RB Leipzig, but many other teams are reportedly interested in his services.
Spurs and Man Utd are the next among the teams interested in Simons' services at 7/1, with Atletico Madrid and Chelsea close behind at 8/1 odds.
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: Chelsea (2/1)
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 Galatasaray favoured to keep him at 4/9 odds, either permanently or through another loan.
However, the bookies also offer even 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, Manchester United, and Chelsea, who don't have a great chance of landing Osimhen. Of all three, the Blues might have the best chance since they are the most interested in the Nigerian forward having chased him last summer too, but at this point, it's likely that Osimhen will end up in Saudi Arabia.
Other transfer odds markets to watch
Elsewhere, there’s the possible transfer of Emiliano Martinez, who at this point seems likely to leave Aston Villa, with Man Utd being the front-runners to sign him at even odds. Still, Martinez staying with the Villans wouldn't be a huge surprise at 9/4 odds either.
Meanwhile, any Saudi Arabian team and Atletico Madrid are also in the mix at 6/1 odds to sign the Argentine goalkeeper.
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 (13/8), Inter Milan (2/1) and Napoli (2/1). 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.
