In the transfer market last summer, there was a lot of speculation and news about big clubs wanting Osimhen. But in the transfer market yesterday, the Napoli club set a very high transfer price for Osimhen. I forgot how much it was, but after the club set the transfer price for Osimhen, since then all the clubs that reportedly wanted Osimhen started to back off and didn't dare make an offer. And it's possible that Aurelio De Laurentiis as owner of Napoli will make the same strategy so that Osimhen is not approached by other clubs who want to recruit him.

But I personally also hope that Osimhen moves from Napoli. Because I don't like clubs that don't really respect their players. I saw the news that there was a stir about Osimhen's conflict with the Napoli club. And I think at that moment Osimhen's pride must have been hurt. But I also can't blame the entire Napoli club in this case. Because I think it is the work of an irresponsible staff member. Because before this incident I had heard that Osimhen would not be in a hurry to leave Napoli. He probably dreams of playing in the EPL. But it looks like that's not in the near future. At least that's what I gathered from Osimhen's conversation at that time. But I don't know what Osimhen's attitude is now after several conflicts that occurred there. Is it still in its original position or has it changed?

Thomas Muller recently completed a short-term contract extension with Bayern Munich and he will still be in Die Rotten uniform for one more season. This is clearly a form of his devotion to the team that has made its name on the football scene and his love for Bayern Munich has never disappeared after 14 years in the first team.

Thomas Muller is a product of the Bayern Munich academy and he has never joined another team since arriving at Bayern Munich. It looks like this is the last contract that Bayern Munich can offer him considering that he is already 34 years old and maybe after his contract ends he will also retire at Bayern Munich.

The rumours linking Mauro Icardi with Real Madrid are still on. Some news source are still claiming that he will be signed by the Spanish side in January. But as far as I can remember Real Madrid refuted these rumours by stating the opposite. I also don't think Ancelotti's priority is to sign a centre-forward at the moment.

You know Alaba has newly got injured and he won't be recovering until the end of the season. Ancelotti talked about this situation and it seems like he will go for a centre-back transfer. They really need one now because Militao is also still injured. 

barcelona may go bankrupt if this club is not trying to raise some money to deal with its debt or even FFP. Glad to see that this news has proven that if barcelona has very very bad money management. This is answering my curiosity regarding the condition of club.
I have been aware since a long time ago if barcelona was rarely getting profit from selling the players. The club prefer to let them go away as free agent instead of sell them all before their contract were running out.

Barcelona is just another sevilla which has been putting all of its main players for sale. There will be no exception as long as the player can give barcelona good amounts of money.
Other team may be seeing this as an opportunity to buy barcelona players with cheap price like what happened with sevilla.

Barcelona are reportedly open to offers "for all players" amid their continued financial struggles, as three stars in particular face winter exits. The inability to secure an investor increases the likelihood of Barcelona executing player sales this winter. They raised around €103 million ($113m/£89m) in the summer from the sale of Ousmane Dembele, Antoine Griezmann, Frank Kessie, Nico Gonzalez, Abde Ezzalzouli, and Trincao but need more funds to balance their books. Hence they remain open to listening to offers for all players.

Nkunku is a nice player and it is time for him to fully recover from the bad times he has now behind him hopefully. The guy has some great speed and is technically impressive and physically highly resistant. A very flexible striker, which is what Chelsea can need desperately. Chelsea is still only at 1.5 goals per game, which is not enough for a team like them. But it wasn't for a lack in quality that they sucked hard for so long now.

The Blues have indeed become a laughing stock this year after wasting more than 1 billion euros on players who have so far not lived up to the expected results.

The issue is that no progress has been made under Pochettino. He took charge of a team that finished 12th in the Premier League last season and that is where he is again under the Argentine manager.

Chelsea have also accumulated just 39 points in total in 2023 – the worst result for a team that has always been present in the Premier League. Boehly may have overseen the biggest spending spree ever, but the net result is a historically bad football team.

Money definitely doesn't buy everything.
Even Barcelona did better.

Todd Boehly prolly doesn't understand these things, he basically thinks all he has to do is spend money and then Chelsea become automatically successful, the investments that the club has made in the last three transfer windows have been massive, but despite that Chelsea are still struggling so much and they are 10th position in the EPL table.

I don't know if Pochettino can take Chelsea out of this situation, but the club can at least let him try. Pochettino needs to have a stronger influence in the dressing room, he also has to identify the players he needs if they are going to spend in January, when a manager selects a player he wants, it is because they see that the player can help his team play in the way he wants. Poch needs more freedom and Todd should give him space.

Goodnews for Chelsea fans

Today Christopher Nkunku has made his debut in Chelsea FC today against Newcastle United. I can say that the appearance of Nkunku was accompanied by luck. This is because Chelsea were on 1 goal down against Newcastle United when Nkunku entered the game in the second half.

All things being good Nkunku scored his penalty kick after Tripiers expensive defensive error gave Chelsea and equaliser that stretched the match to penalty shoot out. It was then that Trippier concluded his bad function by also missing PK. Will the return of Nkunku begin a new and desirable Chelsea?

Todd Boehly prolly doesn't understand these things, he basically thinks all he has to do is spend money and then Chelsea become automatically successful, the investments that the club has made in the last three transfer windows have been massive, but despite that Chelsea are still struggling so much and they are 10th position in the EPL table.

Indeed Victor Osimhen want to leave Napoli next season I don't heard with transfer update from Arsenal have official bid offer for signing him, there are not any teams give official bid offer for Napoli to sign Osimhen. I don't sure with many top teams are interested for signing Victor Osimhen but they can't give official bid offer with high transfer fees and make Napoli will priority which on team are seriously for signing their player. For Napoli not really important about teams interested with Osimhen participants in Champion League or not but depend on which one teams give higher fees transfer.

For winter transfer window seems bit difficult for Osimhen leaves Napoli, I think next season will see which one team have bigger chance for signing Osimhen will Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United or Real Madrid.

Nkunku is a nice player and it is time for him to fully recover from the bad times he has now behind him hopefully. The guy has some great speed and is technically impressive and physically highly resistant. A very flexible striker, which is what Chelsea can need desperately.

I understand if Osimhen would like to leave Napoli and go to Arsenal as that opens the door for him to the best league in the world and to play in the Champions League next season. I doubt that Chelsea will qualify for the Champions League. It could still be a great adventure for him and I guess he would earn more than he currently does at Napoli, but it would not be real progress for him. Chelsea is not one of those clubs that dominate European football anymore. But it would make sense if he misses the CL with Napoli and has to leave anyway if he wants to go to the Premier League, but would Arsenal really be interested in him?

Since his contract is almost over, I agree that his market value even below €100m. Real Madrid must prefer to wait for 6 months, until the end of his contract. If Real Madrid tries to sign him in January, probably there is another drama with Mbappe. It is better to be patience, 6 months isn't a very long time to wait for Mbappe.

Mbappe gets difficulty to succeed like in 2018/19 season, he isn't in a lucky condition lately. He lost some good teammates in PSG, Messi and some great players are leaving PSG. There is also no big competition yet, Mbappe only focus on domestic competition. Sure, Mbappe probably can win the Ligue 1 trophy only. We can't see something interesting in Mbappe's career recently. So, it is very reasonable to see the market price of Mbappe is decreasing a lot during this year.

Todd Boehly prolly doesn't understand these things, he basically thinks all he has to do is spend money and then Chelsea become automatically successful, the investments that the club has made in the last three transfer windows have been massive, but despite that Chelsea are still struggling so much and they are 10th position in the EPL table.

Osimhen is linked with two big Premier League teams, these two teams are Chelsea and Arsenal. Arsenal want to improve their front line by bringing in new players in the winter transfer window and it is reported that Arteta has already bagged several striker names for them to recruit in the January transfer window. However, I think that Osimhen has a better chance of staying with Napoli for a long time because he just accepted the offer of a new contract extension that Napoli proposed last week.

If Chelsea and Arsenal recruit Osimhen, they will definitely have to pay a lot to Napoli in the transfer market. Chelsea also needs an attacker who is aggressive in scoring lots of goals and Osimhen is their target. We'll see whether Osimhen will stay with Napoli for a long time after accepting a new contract offer or whether he still chooses to leave. He is quite a valuable asset for Napoli and he will be a big star if his intention is to stay with Napoli.

Todd Boehly is not going to learn from his mistakes and he is just making the same mistakes over and over. After everything that happened in the last season even after investing lots of money, Chelsea couldn't get a good result and they had to rebuild the team with a new coach fully and since Pochettino started working in CHeslea they made many changes and spent most of the money but even after spending all these money they spent for the team, Chelsea couldn't get good results with means money won't solve the problems in Chelsea.

I agree if Osimhen may be interested to join Arsenal. This team already becomes a strong team that always compete for the title in each season. With some new players, Arsenal is very close with the title this season. As long as they can maintain good performance, their chance to win the EPL title is very opened. Arteta may try to negotiate for signing Osimhen, he needs more productive striker for their front line player. I saw Jesus can't perform very well this season, he isn't as productive as previous season. So it is not impossible that Arteta wants to sign a new striker.

Indeed. Arsenal meets the criteria of the dream team of Osimhen. Arsenal is competing for the EPL title, they are also playing in UCL knock-out phase. Arsenal has the chance to win the title of 2 popular competitions, specifically for EPL title. If Osimhen wants to join Arsenal, I believe Arsenal to be a more stronger team in the future.
