Arsenal does not look like a team for Victor Osimhen, I do not see how the deal will work. This is just another news, maybe to throw other clubs away from the scent of the striker they want to really sign. Gabriel Jesus seems very important for Arsenal, he was able to fill in and play for Saka while he was injured, and he did well. If Arsenal are considering swapping him for another player, they will consider bringing in a player too that can play multiple roles and also fill in Saka's position. Napoli may also not like to sell if they still remain in the champions league till that time.

There is no way this deal is actually going to be possible. Napoli is definitely not going to agree to this deal, Victor Osimhen is very important for them. That is why they have even stated in the contract that they are not going to sell him in the first season and no other Italian club can actually offer for him in the first two seasons.  So I don't think they are going to let him go and bring in Gabriel Jesus.

Maybe if Arsenal actually put in a good amount of money, the deal might happen. But still, it looks very unrealistic to be honest.  But at the same time if Arsenal actually has money to spend, I will suggest that they should go for him if they are allowed, I don't think they will be able to buy him. They will probably have to go for a swap deal and also give Napoli some money.

I don't think Napoli would say okay to any kind of swap deal. They would rather accept cash for Osimhen and their demand would surely be insane amount of money. Arsenal aren't a poor team in the end. Their financial condition must still be solid despite spending a lot of money in the recent times.

If they are really keen on signing him then they had better make their move next summer. Napoli would try to extend with Osimhen until then. If they can't convince him for a new contract then there would be a big opportunity for Arsenal or any other team to take it.

These 100 millions aren't the number that Napoli president have in his mind. The guy is willing to hear something above 200 millions. So even if Arsenal give him a player or two, they will be lucky if they hear him say yes for these 100 millions.
I find this absolutely ridiculous and very hyped as a price. Osimhen is a good player but he isn't Mbappe nor Haaland and couldn't be more expensive than them together.
Until now there isn't any thing official and we will have to wait for the opening of the winter transfer window to see what will happen.

I personally think that they are trying to make the country or even the whole region a point of attraction towards others. And let's be honest they are doing a really good job at it. I never heard any people from the West say that they would consider going to the Middle East. Especially for long-term residency.

But now a lot of people are actually going to Saudi, Qatar, and other countries they are setting up their businesses in those countries as well. And I think that's what the goal is for now. They are trying to attract as many businessmen as they can. And knowing that Saudi is one of the safest countries in the whole world, more and more people are going there.

The gunners shall have offered nketiah instead of jesus caused by his performance was still good unlike nketiah which was so garbage during the previous games. If this rumor will be true and i can't even describe how bad this decision is.
Gabjes consistently contributing to the club even though he was not lucky enough but that's fine caused by his contribution was still a lot.

Gabjes was also very fit to the arsenal's squad. I see no problem to let him stay even longer in the club rather than offer him to be swapped for osimhen, napoli obviously willing to get money as well from this swap.

The latest rumors report that Arsenal have offered Gabriel Jesus in a swap deal for Victor Osimhen and I think if this is true then the profits will all be Arsenal's. The reason is, which European team wouldn't want the services of Victor Osimhen, who has also been Napoli's key player since last season in winning the Scudetto and if this transfer is successful then Arsenal will have a great striker when it comes to scoring goals.

But of course the cost for Victor Osimhen is not cheap and the latest news says that Victor Osimhen's price is still around 100 million pounds and that is not a small amount of money, but if Napoli agree to the exchange of Gabriel Jesus of course the price could be slightly reduced. What do you think, will this be a successful transfer and will Osimhen agree to join Arsenal? we know Osimhen has a dream to play in the EPL.

The main consideration is spending more than 150 millions for a guy who has less than six months contract in PSG is not even worthed. Mbappe will leave from there with free agent. It would be so stupid if real madrid wasted more than 150 millions instead of waiting him to come next months.
We are not far away from the next year. Mbappe will come to the real madrid as this is one of his dream to play in the big club that can deliver.

It's not brained to buy mbappe with such price. I would call that if real madrid scammed by PSG if perez will be doing it in winter. No reason for perez to accept it. Let mbappe come to the madrid by himself. Try go approach him only makes him feel so selfish caused by it feels like madrid needs him at this moment.

Im against the decision for real madrid to buy mbappe from PSG. The club can also try to wait him a bit longer. Mbappe will come soon. No doubt.

I'm not quite sure if the first paragraph of your post meant that he's the problem of PSG buy if it is I don't think you're right cause he's currently the best performing player for the club this season and even the coach knows how important Mbappe is for their rebuilding process this season, and with time when the team recovers their full potential he'll make part of the teams success this season.

 Even the board should understand that a player like Mbappé that's very young and talented and has lots to achieve in the European football would stoop so low to move over to the Saudi Pro league where there's lesser competition, just to fulfil their desire of cashing out on him and bearing the name of the highest bought player in the transfer window.

PSG would have been more than happy if Mbappe had gone to Saudi Arabia for a billion euro offer because if Mbappe left Saudi Arabia for a billion euro, PSG would have earned something like 350 million euro, but Mbappe didn't, leaving a huge opportunity for PSG.
A few days ago, it was heard that Mbappe has extended the contract with PSG. In that case, PSG will definitely get a part of Mbappe's transfer fee, so of course PSG will want to sell Mbappe with a large transfer fee. 

In the next transfer window, Mbappe is most likely to go to Real Madrid, if Mbappe prefers to go to Real Madrid, then PSG will not get much transfer fee because Real Madrid will never buy Mbappe with extra money.

Oh, I think more than you think, IMO. I'm sure what was done in their project was planned long ago. therefore, they did it very wonderfully. let's just imagine, how much money they spend just on player salaries alone.  In fact, these funds were issued by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Previously, I heard rumors that the Saudis wanted to be involved in the most prestigious competition in the European League caste, namely the Champions League. however, I cannot confirm the validity of the rumors or gossip. Apart from that, the management of the Saudi Pro League is collaborating with one of the companies to sell the broadcast rights for their competition. despite the rumors I heard, the Saudi Pro League competition is not that attractive in the market. Maybe for Asia, there are several countries that broadcast this league.
In their project, the Saudis are targeting Ronaldo for them to bring to their league. after further investigation, finally several local Saudi newspapers reported that Ronaldo was also the world cup ambassador for Arab Saidi. We can look carefully, there are many things they do in their projects. Apart from the target of hosting the World Cup in 2030, Saudi is also investing in other types of sports besides football. Again, PIF is behind it. while we know. PIF is a Saudi Arabian public investment company and is headed by Mohammad bin Salman, the crown prince and Prime Minister of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Well, referring to what you posted in this thread. My question is, with all the projects they are working on "only as far as we know" is it possible that their focus and goal is only for sports or football. for me, not at all. There is a lot that we certainly don't know, because not many media report it. but the point is, their goal is for business, empire, and not just for football. Starting from hosting the World Cup, Saudi has opened their doors to the outside world and is ready to do their business in any field. Anyway, this is just my personal opinion or thoughts. does not prove, the real truth.

Of course, the fans have the right to say whatever they want. But that does not mean that everything they say are going to be constructive criticism. I do not care what people say if it is not constructive criticism. Because most of the time people just say things that pleases them.

Arsenal actually did a very good job of keeping Haaland silent in that game. And I think I have already said that Arsenal winning this match was actually because Arsenal was being lucky. I believe that Haaland will be able to improve his performance.

We know Madrid's interest in Mbappe, it has been shown in several attempts and it has made them quite disappointed. but if next year Mbappe can agree to go to Madrid, that will be better for Madrid than bringing in Haaland. That's if you calculate it financially because Mbappe can have free transfer status next year.
but finances are not a problem for Madrid, what is certain is that both players are very worthy of being targeted by Madrid. and if they mean it, maybe a conversation can start. especially with Mbappe waiting for his contract to expire. As for Haaland, I probably believe he will stay at Man City.

I thought it was going to be a draw, but that all changed in the 86th minute when Gabriel Martinelli scored the only goal of the game to give Arsenal full points.
Although believed to be the strongest club at the moment, but Manchester City is not that strong to always get a victory in every match. After Wolves surprisingly beat them, now it's Arsenal's turn to make them swallow defeat for the second time this season.


It's very normal when a player struggles to score goals, even if that player is a very good player like Erling Haaland, and the fact that he can also feel the conditions where he cannot help his club to win.
Yes, KDB's absence greatly affects them to score goals, this player has become a player who plays an important role in providing spoiled passes to players who are on the opponent's defense line to create a goal, and his absence is very pronounced for Manchester City.

So, are you suggesting that Saudi Arabia should explore the possibility of relocating its country to a position within the European Union? what a non sense thing. Any continent has its own territorial. That means if you were supporting saudi government to bribe UEFA some money to let the winner of its club to play in the european champion league? It's a non sense statement. That's pretty much the same like you were telling them to do impossible thing. They were locating at the middle east.
There will be chaos once european football committee to allow them participated in UCL. The actions of the European football committee, which allowed a non-EU country to play on its territory, are essentially similar to the corrupt practices they have been engaged in.
It will never happen. All of europeans will be against this idea.

In fact, Real Madrid can still afford the cost of this clause considering that their finances are very good and there are no problems at all. Indeed, it is very natural for Haaland who has been the top scorer in various competitions since last season and he even has the ability as a great striker and can compete with other legendary names. I think Haaland could leave Manchester City because basically he has won everything and so that his opportunities can be more open in individual awards, he has to go to Real Madrid, especially to win the Ballon D'or. On the other hand, if he joins Real Madrid he still has the chance to win the Champions League title, especially since the Real Madrid squad is now filled with very promising young talents. So there's nothing wrong if later he changes his mind and heads to Santiago Bernabeu.

Erling Haaland is undoubtedly one of the most prolific strikers in Europe but the fact that he's not been able to score in his last few games for Manchester City doesn't automatically mean that he'll definitely score two or goals in the club's next game.
Kelvin De Bruyne who assisted most of the Norwegian goals last season has been out injured since the first week of the English Premier League season and that has really affected Erling Haaland's goalscoring performance. There's no doubt that he can't score in next game but I there's no guarantee that he'll definitely score.

Erling Haaland will get back to scoring ways, it is okay to feel like a big mess up. He lacked creative players to help with those passes.

Liverpool - Tottenham Hotspur shouldn't have ended in favor of Tottenham. That goal should have been ruled offside. Match officials can also be real biased. Tottenham Hotspur though, have won Manchester United, Liverpool and drawing with Arsenal. Sure they will get a win against Chelsea and draw to Manchester City.

Each source always provides news that they have created and quite few news sources add or subtract from what actually happened in the news or rumors they create so it is normal for there to be differences and this is not the first time problem like this has occurred.

The clause that Haaland has might make it very easy for him to leave Manchester City and look for new experiences with other big teams but I not sure Haaland will do that because he gets enough of what he wants with Manchester City and Haaland can even get several titles with them so it would be huge loss if he had to leave Manchester City early.
In addition Manchester City will never let Haaland leave their team because he is very reliable young attacking player.
Manchester City achieved many achievements and victories thanks to the contribution made by Haaland so Manchester City will never accept his departure.

Well fans have the right to say whatever pleases them but the fact still remains that Manchester City are still very strong contenders of the league, and the fact they've lost 2 EPL matches consecutively doesn't stop them from winning the league, because last season they lost several games but still won the EPL trophy, I think they're in their unlucky days and would bounce back sooner.
 
 Maybe when they do  we'll begin to see Haaland scoring braces or hat-trick in their upcoming matches, I don't think Haalands performance is bad, he's still the player with the highest goals this season just  that luck didn't shine on him against Arsenal, and the defence really tried in marking him well and gave him little time to create good chances, however I believe when the player that understands him better (Debruyne) gets back we'll begin to see his best again.
