Robert Lewandowski is currently not performing very well in Barcelona. If Barcelona can actually get Robert Firmino for free, it is actually going to be good for them. But at the same time, I also understand what you were saying. It is not the best option to have two players who are quite old in the team and going to ask for a good amount of money as a salary. Barcelona needs younger players, who are actually better. But we all know that those types of players are going to cost a lot of money which Barcelona most likely can not afford right now.
I heard that if he was being linked to the real madrid but it's a big surprise to see that if firmino is now changing his choice to pick barcelona as the next club to continue his career. Barcelona will get him in free transfer status in summer after he has been rejected to re-new his contract with liverpool. Barcelona is now having financial problem. Lewandowski is not as good as early of this season. His performance drastically down without any reason. Firmino may become a new attacker that will be used as backup for lewandowski.

It's very hard to predict the way of firmino think about his future. Firmino is now trying to search for another best club in the world to sign him as a player.
Barcleona is also focusing with messi and tried to sell so many players in the club.

I think Chelsea have run out of coaching options and now Pochettino is the only hope for them to become Chelsea coach next season. Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is certainly also trying hard to bring in a credible and experienced coach, but with the current team situation, most coaches will definitely also reject offers from Chelsea. Quite concerned about what Chelsea is experiencing this season, even though they are one of the big EPL teams and due to management's inability to manage the club, this has had a huge impact on the team's performance in any competition.
At this point, I think Chelsea is confused. They don't know what they want. They didn't go all out for Nagelsmann that is why they lost him. They're looking for a coach that has experienced the EPL and that is not a very good idea. Pep and Klopp never had experience in the EPL before they became the managers of their respective clubs but they both did and doing well.
Potter and Lampard both have a degree of experience with the league but they both failed at Chelsea so what's the point of still[cking to that same philosophy?  They also had a chance to sign Luis Erique but they refused because of the same lack of experience in the EPL excuse. They might end up with an average coach if they're not careful.
To me, the Pochettino they want to hire is a wrong decision, but what do I know?

Right now I don’t think Chelsea actually has a good option. I don’t know what they will be going for. I don’t see any good options. Left for them. Well of course there are good options. But they are not going to be interested in managing Chelsea right now. Probably why you all want a really good player to be the coach of Chelsea. But I feel like it does not matter how much money Chelsea offers right now, the best coaches are not going to go for managing Chelsea right now.

After Julian Nagelsmann has withdrawn himself from the race of managing Chelsea, I think currently they are suffering from a lack of options.

Osimhen is top class, money talks though and PSG have lots of it. They will offer big wages, I know the French league isn’t too competitive but PSG have as much chance as any team each season of winning the CL. I wouldn’t say it’s not ambitious if he goes to PSG.

Saturday's transfer gossip:

Paris St-Germain are preparing a £133m bid for Napoli and Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen and will move into pole position, ahead of Chelsea, for the 24-year-old. PSG is again gathering big football stars and putting together a mega team, but so far this strategy has not paid off for them. They still haven't managed to win the Champions League.
~

For all the wretchedness of PSG management, the Mbappe + Osimhen pairing will be really scary. With 99% of Messi leaving the team and it can be assumed that PSG will buy a productive midfielder who does not just walk, I begin to fear that this money bag will still become competitive in the Champions League. I will hope that Osimhen is ambitious and does not go to PSG.

PSG is again gathering big football stars and putting together a mega team, but so far this strategy has not paid off for them. They still haven't managed to win the Champions League.
...

If the transfer fee for Osimhen was really only £133m, it would be a very cheap transfer in terms of price/performance. I think it is almost impossible to sign Haaland from Manchester City. Likewise, it is almost impossible to transfer Mbappe from PSG. I don't think there are any other strikers at this level. £133m is a very cheap price for Osimhen. Also, PSG need to sign more qualified midfielders to win the champions league. They can't win trophies just by transferring world star strikers, they need to turn into a good team to win trophies.
Paris Saint Germain is a big club without doubt and also a club that is good enough to win the UEFA Champions League if well managed but I don't think it'll suit Victor Osimhen's progress as a young and fast growing player.
PSG already has a front three of Leo Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe and it's very safe to say it'll take an extra ordinary performance for any player to start a match when the three players are fit. Paris Saint Germain's style of football is currently built around Mbappe and if unless he leaves the club players like Osimhen will hardly flourish at the PSG.

Barcelona and Roberto Firmino have had a verbal agreement.
Firmino has agreed to join Barcelona for free at the end of his current contract at Liverpool. His contract ends this July.
Klopp would have likes Firmino to remain at Liverpool but Firmino is hell bent on moving on to another club.

Personally, I don't think this is good decision from Barcelona. There is no point having a 31 year old as the back up striker of a 34 year old. Firmino is in decline currently. Barcelona needs a young and promising striker to be the back up for Lewandoski not a declining striker.
 
He could able to make some important goals with Liverpool this season but indeed he lost his place in starting lineup because Klopp was more likely to playing other players such as Gakpo to his position in the team and in my opinion verbal agreement doesn't guarantee Firmino will choose Barcelona as his new club because some of big teams in europe still interested to him

But if this rumour is true i think Barcelona has clever moved with signs him because with firmino quality he still able to performing well besides that Barcelona will get him for free and although Firmino isn't categorized as young player anymore but with his current age i think Firmino still capable to playing at high level of competitions such as Laliga

I honestly think Barcelona needs other players. They need real goal makers, just like Lewandowsky was. He has not done badly at all at Barcelona so far, but he is entering a phase where age can be an important factor. Someone like Haaland would have fitted in perfectly with the team, but of course he is not leaving City for the time being. And the return of Messi, wouldn't that be an option? I wonder how the supporters and management of Barcelona would feel about that. They can use it well. They also have to make sure they don't lose Fenkie de Jong to United.

Paris is and has never been a potential destination for Erling Haaland and he has said that publicly, or at least implied it. He said for him it is either the Premier League, La Liga or the Bundesliga. He never spoke about PSG being on his list. 133 million Pounds for Osimhen usually sounds more than right, we just have the problem that the market is spoiled with transfer fees like that for Neymar back in the days. 133 million Pounds is about 150 million Euro. I guess there would also be bonuses dependent on success so selling him will end in a great deal for Napoli. The problem is that you can't replace him.
Chances are this is only an initial offer but it is as you say, in this case it is unlikely he will leave and Napoli let him go for that price.
Even though sometimes no one knows what will happen in the future, the price is fairly minimal with Osimhen's current performance.
On the other hand, other teams are still expecting him, of course they will prioritize if the price is like that.

On the other hand, actually to see the probability of this, I still feel that Osimhen will consider it, but whether or not this will happen, I am still very doubtful about it.

many teams are hunting for osimhen and I doubt PSG will get him (possibly osimhen will choose a team that has the potential to win the UCL)

I also think the same as you, what is PSG's weak point right now is their weak and uncreative midfield, the next transfer market must be put to good use by PSG to buy potential midfielders

Oshimen is a good player. If big clubs come forward, it will be impossible for Napoli to keep him. Teams like Man United and PSG may also sign up for him. If you then get a million-dollar contract that you can sign for, you have to have iron discipline to say no to that. He could still be of great value to Napoli in the league, but I don't think Napoli can keep him or give him a lucrative contract. Too little liquidity for Napoli. But with that money you can buy other players and build a good team to extend the championship.

No matter how ideal PSG's front line is, it cannot prove capable of winning the Champions League trophy because PSG always misses its midfield. What they have done is good enough, but it cannot be said to be perfect if they only focus on the front lines with the superstars. So if you really want to have that mentality in the UCL, solid players also need to be implemented on every front. Reflecting on the clubs that have beaten PSG, of course we can see from the midfield that was built to play solidly.
Messi sometimes has become answer for the problem that has been facing by PSG but it seems like that if it's not all of players have equal skill. I meant PSG must have a squad which all of players have equal skill to create the best clubs that may potentially to win UCL this season. Messi will be leaving from PSG soon and it's the time for PSG to get a new player to replace him soon. Since neymar was not playing again for PSG and the performance from PSG was not consistent.

PSG has been killing itself. PSG will be using money as a way to attract the new players to come in. It has been reported recently if PSG has been preparing 130 millions euro for osimhin which is very big amounts of money.
I think PSG needs to put more money for osimhen in this case. It's caused by osimhen is really valuable for napoli and he must be priced so high.

Osimhen is the gem for the current transfer window and since Napoli won't be able to keep this player for another season they have to sell him and earn enough money from this transfer and buy other players to replace him, currently there are many teams they want to buy Osimhen and if they successfully buy this player this can be a good investment for that team because of his age.

Manchester United are still watching Osimhen closely for a possible offer in the summer. However they aren't going to be the only team to make this offer either. They will most probably face some other big and champion teams to sign him. In that case it would be really difficult to sign him for them. Osimhen wouldn't even like to leave Napoli easily while they are having a wonderful season.

Only some specific teams might be able to make him think about his future twice before making his final decision. I don't know if he has any intention of joining Manchester United honestly. They are a better team now compared to the previous season but they still have a long way to go.

There are bunch of low classed player's to get rid of the squad for United
Rather they want to buy players when they still have poison within
He'd be a great signature only of they give him lots of those passes and work as team mates should

Robert Lewandowski is going through tough time, just as every players else where.  He will bounce back again, beside he's aging, so many factors affecting him right now, but he's a good player. Robert Firmino is good striker,but he's lacking match time in Liverpool , he needs a a club that will value he's ability. Barcelona would be a good club him if Barcelona management could be able to pay the price and get him from Liverpool next season.

Chelsea's 32-year-old France midfielder N'Golo Kante and 33-year-old Gabon striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are summer targets for Barcelona.
At least 10 Chelsea players are considering their futures at the club after their Champions League defeat by Real Madrid last week ended any hopes of silverware and European football next season. A lot of football players are about to leave Chelsea, who will come?

They should all go, they're deadwood and Chelsea keeping them at the club has been the cause of our problems from the very beginning, before the season started, we could have gone for a reliable defensive midfielders like Declan Rice, Wilfred etc but we decided to stay with Kante and this cost us the midfield as we couldn't get any player to hold that position down while he was ill, I think Chelsea should do more of selling in the transfer window than buying. Any player that doesn't want to stay at the club should pack their bag and start leaving for some money to follow in. We should then use that money to start a new chapter with new players.

No player should chelsea be begging to stay at the club, this is just a temporary situation and to get out  this situation, the club needs loyal players, I believe we'll be bouncing back next season and to achieve that, we need a new structure which should be starting from a capable manager, Todd Boehly has to let go of the club to the professionals and just be the owner as the previous owner was handling the club. He's getting too involved which shouldn't be so.

Sunday's transfer gossip:

Manchester United are stepping up their interest in Victor Osimhen after sending scouts to watch the 24-year-old Nigeria striker play for Napoli in the Champions League last week. So, many clubs want this player, and what will he decide in the end? Paris or Manchester? Or some other destination?
Julian Nagelsmann, who pulled out of the running to be Blues boss last week, is interested in joining Tottenham. Nagelsmann seems to have more faith in the Tottenham project than in what Chelsea is offering him, a club that is currently in chaos.
Paris St-Germain will let Argentina forward Lionel Messi, 35, leave on a free transfer when his contract expires this summer as the club plans a more sustainable future with fewer star names and a greater emphasis on developing young talent. Is PSG really changing their strategy and giving up on bringing big football stars? What does this mean for Messi? Back to Barcelona?

True, what Paris Saint Germain has to do is change the whole team, not just make changes on the front lines. It's useless that their front line is very good but in the midfield and back they are weak. Focusing only on star players will not make them better, they need to make transfers according to what is needed, not just look at their status. There are several star players who failed when defending PSG, not just one or two players.

The only goal of big clubs in the Europe is not just winning the Champions League.
Although, winning the champions league is one of the goals that are very important to big clubs, there is no doubt about it. For example, Manchester City and PSG have been doing their best recently to win the Champions League.
But even if PSG do not win the Champions League, they have other benefits they enjoy from the big names they he sign.

The presence of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe  has in no doubt, increased the view strength and watch hour of France League and also the sales of Jersey and other things have placed PSG high in the ranking of clubs, both in finance and in personality

It's likely such offer will be also rejected by napoli. I remember that if napoli has given price tag for osimhen.

Quote
Napoli are asking for bids of £150million for Victor Osimhen amid interest from Manchester United and Chelsea, it is reported.
https://talksport.com/football/1370980/victor-osimhen-fee-napoli-man-utd-chelsea-transfer-news/#:~:text=Napoli%20set%20%C2%A3150million%20asking,Manchester%20United%20and%20Chelsea%20interested


That price tag may still relevant this time consider napoli was failed to get treble winner for this season. I think that napoli will be also think so hard for the offer that will be offered by paris saint german. The problem is if osimhen is seeing EPL as his dream league.
EPL team may have more chance to get him rather than paris saint germant. PSG is now facing crisis caused by some of its important players will be leaving the club in summer.

PSG is also still looking for a good coach to manage the team for next season.
