I can see why Ramos would decline playing at other clubs and wants to stay where he is. Do not consider this as "he is getting worse, he has to accept offer from somewhere else" type of situation, he has made enough money, and he is not interested in Saudi money type of situation neither, he has some good investments too, he isn't one of those players that spent all their money and broke now, he did great investment and he is in a good financial situation right now. So that means, he is fine with not playing, so the offer could be what he deserves, so he might not worth a good club in Europe right now, but he has enough money to just stay retired at this point, so he doesn't care about that.

If he was in financial trouble, then yeah he would accept the best offer he gets, but that would mean that he would be playing somewhere he doesn't want to, right now we know that he has the money so he will only accept where he actually wants to play, which is better for the clubs too, to get a player who wants to be there.

Instead of looking for a replacement for Lewandowski, Hansi Flick targeted Jonathan Tah to strengthen the back line. It might be good but Lewandowski replacement striker also needs attention. Given that in several matches Lewandowski has experienced a decline in his quality in the attack line, especially when Lamine Yamal was absent which required Lewandowski to find a ball supply.

Previous window, we all know how Chelsea stumbled upon the deal of Victor Osimhen and they did their best to bring him over, unfortunately the deal didn't pull through because of the high demands of Victor Osimhen. When it comes to the players, Ruben Amorim have more tangible tasks at hand, he makes more complex decisions if he's keen to see an entire different structure of the club. Who's talking about signing Victor Osimhen from Galatasaray next summer? The Nigeria international is one of the most efficient attacker in Europe and coming to Old Trafford is just impossible to happen. Keep the value of Osimhen aside because the Red Devils cam afford him but he wouldn't want to move to a club that's fumbling, we're talking about a club that would take longterm before they can actually stand fit and compete for titles. This is Manchester United in shackles,  unable to meet the described expectations of the fans.

To some extent, Osimhen will fit in Manchester United pattern of play because they are playing through counter attack, and Osimhen is very good when it comes to that.
However, Manchester United have two strikers, they will have to sell one if they wanted to sign Osimhen, but will Osimhen join them? That’s the question because I think he will prefer joining Chelsea instead of Manchester United if he is really coming to the EPL next season.
Moreover, Victor Gyokors has also been rumored to join United because of Amorim, if United have these options, the the choice will be difficult to make because both of these strikers are good.

I don't see any news about where Ramos is going to go, maybe he will just finish his career, he is 38 years old now and in a couple of months in March he will be 39 years old. It's not even that he is not young, but whether he wants to continue playing in other leagues. In recent years, he has been getting injuries very often, which is understandable at his age, so I would not be surprised if he simply decided to finish his career and not look for another team.

I follow the news, it is possible that Ramos will not go to Saudi Arabia for some personal reasons. If he still wants to have a career, maybe not for a top European club that will be willing to pay him a lot. Going to a club in Argentina or Portugal and joining a club there is not bad. If he does not want to play in a club with a league that is not as competitive as in Europe, he should decide to take a break first or even retire. But I may be wrong, he will find a club that he will defend before retiring.

Don't you remember when Ramos blatantly snubbed Saudi's offer last months? If you were following him regularly, you might know it. I remember some Saudi clubs have sent him lucrative offers in August, but he rejected it all. He said he wanted to stay in EU much longer.

He never keen to play in the abroad club. This pretty obvious he has no chance to play on Saudi clubs as well, though some of his friends were there.

If it becomes Osimhen then this deal becomes mandatory to be responded to, besides Zikzee deserves to be exchanged, his quality is very below standard. Well it is understandable that Zikzee is considered a failed purchase, plus Amorim is not satisfied with what he showed while playing under the new coach.

It all looks fine until a couple of them get injured. That's when you will see what a real crisis is. At this level, they are already struggling because of prolonged absence of certain players

You are only focused on the transfer fee, but you forgot about those wages. A club may accept to sell a player at a cheap offer, but are Barcelona ready or comfortable to march up the player's wage bill?

Players may love to go to a certain club, but it's always about the money the club has to offer as their wage.

Barcelona might just have to stick to bring up academy players for a while

We have seen the best of Rashford last two seasons when Manchester United finished third on the table. After that season, he lost focus on his goal and that affected his performance. He cannot add any good value to the team performance, going to a different club might be a new stepping stone for him to pick form again. Osimhen will add impact to the improvement of United with his astonishing performance.

Lewandowski is fine, Yamal is fine, Balde is fine. Most of their skeleton squad is fine. People like De Jong and Araujo could be either way, they could stay for cheaper, or leave, and they would both be fine for the team without a doubt. I understand that it may not look like that's a big deal, but that doesn't mean that they are going to miss them if they leave, I am sure they will get some other player for the same salary.

Plus, Barcelona is a team people would want to play for, so if you offer 5 million or even ten million, for a centre back or a midfield to play, then they would do that, and this way they would be spending less and get someone they want instead of what the yare stuck with. This could be a good deal for them actually. So either way, they are going to be fine.

Osimhen last season became the most contested player by many teams but the high price set by Napoli made many parties retreat, thus making Osimhen have to play in the Turkish league at this time, playing outside the Serie A does not make his sharpness as a striker disappear and recruiting Osimhen will be the good alternative choice for Amorim to sharpen their attack line, so far Zirkzee, Anthony and Rashford have not been able to contribute much to Manchester United attack so they really need a new striker at the moment, after a new agreement with Napoli, now reportedly the price and release clause of Osimhen has dropped, so it is possible that amorim can get it with cheaper funds at this time, Osimhen should be an alternative for Amorim because in my opinion Gyokeres seems to be more appropriate for them to recruit.

Well, I agree with what you said. Actually Madrid has good midfielders, but their experience is not as good as Toni Kroos. Even with midfielders who can be important figures like Modric, he can no longer play fully to become players who are able to become leaders on the field. Well, this is also the homework for Carlo Ancelotti to maximize his young midfielders. Because after all, Madrid's midfielders will be the key players to replace the role of their senior players. Modric will not be long, he will not be played full in one season. And even if Madrid does need experienced, tough players who can encourage their teammates, I don't think Van Dijk is the one. Moreover, it is not certain that Van Dijk is willing to join the Santiago Bernabeu. But it seems that Ancelotti does need a player who can meet his team's needs, maybe they will look for a tough defender to recruit this January.

Financial situation of Barcelona is hurting them badly and things are getting the worst day by day which is surely huge negative impact on them and their season as well now we have few days left about Dani Olmo case is going to have decision about registration with few clubs are trying to have contract ended, and they will be able to sign this quality and skilled player for their club, but Barcelona management is confident about decision could be into their favour.

Few seasons back we have same case but Gavi were retained by them so just because of this now again they are confident, but now things are not like we have in past so we can expect something problematic for the Barcelona this time, and they can lose this player which was their only signing in last summer

It happens most times when a player has been in an atmosphere that are used to losing for a very long time. This is exactly what happens to them. Rashford hunger for success and titles has diminished because he has been at Manchester United for too long. They don't know what it is  to fight for glory anymore, because the club don't demand it from them again. Failure has become part of the system, even if they finish outside the top 4 the management of the club don't care. Napoli understand the situations around Rashford and they want to exploit it.

Rashford is natural talent. A player that can cause problems for opposition teams, all he just need is that extra motivation to start believing in himself again.An atmosphere where success is being demanded from the players. Napoli right now is in that position of giving him the atmosphere to start believing in himself again. If Rashford continues to stay in Manchester United, he won't improve mark my words.


I don't see this happening!!!

And if Amorim didn't make a request for Osimhen to join his team then it won't happen, unless they lure him with some crazy wages!

Amorim don't have to make request first before Napoli can make a proposal to Manchester United. Now that the proposal has been made, the club will study the proposal and relate to the coach about the possibility of him working with Osimhen. They will consider the sporting and commercial benefits of the proposal. If it favours the club, Amorim won't object to the possibility of working with Osimhen. Osimhen isn't a bad player afterall.

Osimhen is now rumored to be wanted from Manchester United.
In the deal they are opened to insert the plauer Zikzee.

The price for the player actually in loan in Turkey is around 75m €

The player has a release clause that free him if a bigger club than Galatasaray calls during the winter tranfert Market.

My exact reaction!!

This has to be a joke for sure, but then again you know how the British media hype their players...this can be one of those cases, and I just don't like the fact that Rash doesn't put in the work these days and needs a new club to get motivated to put in the work.

I don't see this happening!!!

And if Amorim didn't make a request for Osimhen to join his team then it won't happen, unless they lure him with some crazy wages!

Napoli are going to lose Osimhen for free in the summer if they don't get rid of him in this winter transfer window. On a level ground when Osimhen didn't have issues with Napoli, there wouldn't have been any way Napoli will propose this kind of mouth watering deal to Manchester United, for a player like Marcus Rashford. Although Rashford was once a good player and was rated among the likes of Mbappe and other top talents. If this deal pushes through, it's definitely going to benefit both sides. But Manchester United will be benefiting the most. As they are lacking a creative no.9 and Osimhen will fit in perfectly with Manchester United pattern of play. I believe Manchester United will not reject this proposal. It's a well balanced deal if you ask me. All parties involved will benefit. Rashford will play in the champions league with Napoli next season. And he has the possibility of winning the Seria A little with Napoli this season.

They are still the same young, if you look at the statistics, indeed for now Osimhen won and in form he is better than Rashford. Actually, Rashford could still be developing, so Amorim if he sells it will be a big bet. Maybe the loan option is a pretty good choice. Amorim can withdraw back to Man United at any time. While Osimhen is indeed able to adapt well at Napoli and Galatasaray. But both leagues are still below the EPL so there is a possibility that it will happen if Osimhen goes to Man United, Fail or Succeed. Amorim is also at stake, but the decision to buy Osimhen as a good option as he is a number 9 striker is very different from Rashford.

Correct, Manchester United will get benefit if they agree to swap Rashford with Osimhen, Manchester United already know Rashford will not improve and change his atittude, so it's pointless to keep him. While Osimhen, even though we don't know how his performance in Manchester United, but at least they can try and hoping he will improve over time.

Osimhen performance was good lately, if he can adapt in Galatasaray, he might able to adapt in Manchester United.
