At this point, I won't be surprised if City ends up leading the title race towards the end of the season. They have done it for several seasons; To Liverpool on numerous occasions during the CityPool uphill battle for PL title and last season they did it against Arsenal winning about 10-15 straight games and garnering maximum points from those features.
If KDB and Rodri gets back in their time at some point in the season then without a doubt, they would do very well. Until then? Not so much. Gundogan used to hold the fort for Man city whether KDB was out but he's no longer around and no Rodri as well so that midfield is seriously lacking in creativity ans quality. For yesterday's game, Haaland was even the one trying to make plays in the midfield to teammates like Foden and Alvarez upfront when the reverse should be the case.
This two players are reason Manchester City was dependable players without the two of them City always have issues with their play pattern, with Rodri just come back next match day from suspension it will be a relief for Pep, also KDB is already training personally. Th league is just too open now because both teams on top are just some points ahead for Manchester City,.
Napoli management wants to keep this valuable asset for a long period of time, preventing him from leaving to another club in order to achieve joint success in Serie A. I think it is very natural that Napoli management set a high price for Osimhen, they know that there are only a few good number 9 strikers at the moment. This Not only Arsenal and Chelsea are interested in recruiting him, Real Madrid and SPL clubs are also interested in pursuing his signature.
However, this is just a rumor that cannot be relied upon, what is clear is that Napoli will not let Osimhen go at a cheap price. Moreover, if Osimhen manages to defend the Scudetto and is going further in the UCL, the price will definitely break the transfer record.
Strikers are very hard to come by this days except young players which you re mostly taking a risk with. Napoli will try to keep Osihmen but with his goal scoring power it will be hard to tame him down. The biggest problem is the that video mocking him, it as shattered the relationship between the player and the Board. I see him switching club when summer transfer window opens
