Chelsea apparently moving fast that they start to selling the players who potentially will not be used because after Sterling and Lukaku the latest player who sell is Armando Broja that just like we know Armando Broja was asking to Chelsea owner to sell him because he hasn't included to Enzo Maresca plan and apparently he will have new club this summer

Everton would became an Armando Broja next club because it says Everton and Chelsea have reach an agreement to loan Armando Broja and it says no loan fees which mean Everton loan him for free but at the end of season Everton have to permanent Armando Broja status

When I said the deals that Chelsea are doing right now are just not the right deals they are desperate to offload this players and clubs are just coming to pick them like they like with only the wages been the only thing they need the club to cover, this Armando Broja was a threat at Southampton and Chelsea brought him and wasted the players two seasons with premier league clubs lining up the sign him even last season Chelsea still held him back seriously it is a bad business, I think he was offered to Ipswich earlier but the wages was a barrier for the newly promoted club, now at Everton for free almost same deal as Sterling and they still have to go ahead to take Sancho from Manchester United who is on €350k wage, i don’t understand how they even avoid fair play properly because of the years of contract but it’s pathetic.

For Armando Broja this is a good move, currently Everton are on the verge of battling relegation right from the start of the season and they will need all the fire power that they can afford, Calvert Lewin is not the player he once was and Sean Dyche will definitely need a back up, if Armando Broja can get a long run of games I think it will be good for him and could help him back to his previous self

He is a useless player for Chelsea. He should have left way earlier but it is good to hear it is happening at least. If Everton go on like this probably he will find himself in the Championship next season.  Tongue



I think Osimhen should just go to Saudi Arabia. There is no meaning in staying at Napoli without playing football for a whole season. But the time is running out indeed. I hope this signing also doesn't fail just as it happened with Chelsea. Normally I wouldn't support a move to Saudi Arabia for Osimhen. Because he is still very young. But while there is no better option he should take it and leave.  Sad

Is it a desperate move to force him to accept Saudi teams?
He has 2 more days to accept Deals from Saudi Arabia.
I don't think they are trying to force him or anything, we knew all summer that the relationship between Victor Osimhen and Napoli was completely broken and that he was never going to play for them again, so he basically has to leave the club to play football again. Osimhen has a big decision to make in the coming days, he has to move to the Saudi league or wait until January, though big clubs might not come for him then, because he would have missed months of competitive football, it is up to the striker now.

I won't entirely blame Napoli here, some blame as still needs to fall on Osimhen, now that their relationship is entirely broken, he either will remain at Napoli or move to Saudi Arabia but I doubt if Saudi Arabia will actually offer him a remarkable fee since he is a tight spot now or maybe he will just remain at Napoli without playing till January transfer window gor a European offer but I think him going to Saudi Arabia now would be better than remaining at Napoli without playing since he can still come back to European club when the offer arise
Victor Osimhen is key player and we know the importance of his presence, an exceptional player that have recalcitrantly refused to bend low or reduce his salary inother to follow his dream club. The European football is a tough one, we should clearly understands the basis of the league. Napoli have fallen from top position since their former manager, Luciano Spalleti left the club, their performance towards success have been dormant and this have been thrilling one for them. Perhaps Antonio Conte is here to make a better team and why blame Napoli for what happen to Victor Osimhen? The board should be held responsible for the bitter truth of keeping Victor Osimhen out of reach.

Osimhen is now out from Serie A Napoli list.
It means that he can'0t play in Serie A and he needs to leave if he wants to play.
He made the wrong choice not picking Chelsea though the wage they offered was lower than what he currently earn  at Napoli which is understandable since he was in a tight spot  and this was his last choice to remain at Europe before the transfer windows closes.

Other stars like Felix and Sancho literally reduced their salary in order to join Chelsea, though they are currently not in the same class as Osimhen base on performance but he should have followed suit especially from the fact that this was a loan deal and possibly would get a better wage if he do well and had few injuries woe.

That's why it is difficult to transfer Osimhen because apart from him demanding a big salary, Napoli also ask for a very large transfer price. PSG, who we know have good financial resources, have stopped pursuing his signature even though their ability to recruit certainly has the ability. In this case, all parties are actually disadvantaged, both for Osimhen himself and Napoli because if this season is not realized, it is not certain that next season Osimhen's price will be higher.

The situation is complicated for Osimhen because he is not part of the Napoli coaching team and if he is forced to stay, it will affect the number of playing minutes he is given. His quality and performance have almost declined in the previous two seasons and if he is left not playing then his career will be more difficult. The decision to leave is a good choice but Napoli did not let him go because it did not match the price they wanted.

I don't know what Napoli did, even though the bid for Osimhen was not as easy as imagined. Initially, Osimhen had agreed with PSG at that time, and the salary issue was not a big problem for this giant French League club. It's just that PSG was reluctant to pay the release clause for this Napoli striker. which in the end, PSG slowly backed down. as we know, Napoli insisted on not wanting to release the player by lowering his price. it is clear that Napoli really made it difficult for Osimhen to leave, and it seems that Osimhen did the same thing, which was reluctant if his salary was lowered if Chelsea were to bring him in. which in the end, no decision was made. referring to Romano's report, Napoli officially removed Victor Osimhen from the squad list for this season. in fact, according to Romano Napoli has decided to give number 9 to Lukaku immediately. who knows what drama happened, there could be a little polemic that occurred. if so, it is clear that both parties are disadvantaged.

If none of them are willing to give in, it will clearly be a loss for Napoli and of course Osimhen himself. Osimhen wants to leave Napoli, but he is too picky and wants a higher salary. Meanwhile, Napoli, who seems to be no longer happy with Osimhen, wants to sell the player because his salary is too big for them, but strangely enough, they themselves are making things complicated. They want big money, even though Osimhen was clearly not that good last season. So it stands to reason that PSG or even Chelsea might walk away from the deal.
there's obviously more to this than what's available for the media consumption. If everything is okay between Napoli and osimehn, we all know that they wouldn't source for lukaku knowing fully well that osimehn is a better striker compared to lukaku. Osimehn's agent also has an hand in all of this saga but tge outcome of this signing will have affect his career greatly. With the sharp signing Chelsea has just secured Jordan Sancho into his team and with a lot of players already pilled up in the team, thier wouldn't be a need for Chelsea to join them even when the transfer windows reopens by January. Sterling will be playing along with saka at arsenal to strengthen the team more and if things works well with them, even when the transfer window reopens osimehn's chance of getting into the EPL will be very slim. The last time he had the opportunity of joining one of these too clubs was during the season while he was the talk of all the clubs and yet he hard this last opportunity of getting a good deal from top clubs but still turned most of the offers down for reasons we can't clearly point at. Let's just hope this is not a journey that will eventually take him out of the limelight.

I think it is going to be a bigger problem for Osimhen compared to Napoli. Because a club can always make the money back that they lose. But it is very hard for a player to actually get his career back in line if he suffers a big problem. I don’t think the player is actually realizing that at this moment. Otherwise, he should have been pushing for a move from the club. I know that he might actually love the club a lot. But he has to think about his career more. By the way, I don’t understand why it is more important to him to maintain his value in the market instead of actually decreasing the amount of problems that he has in his career.

I hope this is not going to negatively affect his career.  But with him not being included in recent matches of Napoli definitely shows some concerns for sure. Seems like he should have left Napoli while he still could.

Osimhen demand for a high salary and Napoli request for a large transfer fee made PSG withdraw from the pursuit of the Nigerian player. PSG have started to back down in the hunt for Osimhen because the performances shown by the players at the start of this season have been very impressive, even though they have just lost Mbappe who left for Real Madrid, the sharpness of their front line has increased.
It seems that PSG are not too reckless anymore in bringing in players, now they are more careful and not too easy in spending money. The current squad is adequate, Luis Enrique is also very satisfied with the performance shown by his squad, if they want to bring in new players, they will probably take advantage of the opportunity when the January transfer window opens.

If none of them are willing to give in, it will clearly be a loss for Napoli and of course Osimhen himself. Osimhen wants to leave Napoli, but he is too picky and wants a higher salary. Meanwhile, Napoli, who seems to be no longer happy with Osimhen, wants to sell the player because his salary is too big for them, but strangely enough, they themselves are making things complicated. They want big money, even though Osimhen was clearly not that good last season. So it stands to reason that PSG or even Chelsea might walk away from the deal.
After a disappointing season, Osimhen wants a contract that matches his capabilities. He lit it up under Spalletti. Osimhen wants a club to let him shine again.

Napoli, meanwhile, wants top dollar despite the market cooling. A bold strategy - but is it right? Big teams like PSG and Chelsea arent just throwing money around; they're strategic. Sancho is at Chelsea, and PSG is always hunting for the next big thing. Time is running out for Osimhen's move.

This incident shows how player goals and club expectations conflict. Napoli may need to change their expectations to negotiate. Its about finding a solution that benefits everyone: Osimhen gets his platform and Napoli receives a fair return. Business requires compromise to get the greatest deal.

Victor Osimhen doesn’t have much options left. He should just move to the Saudi Pro League. There is no future for him at Napoli. I can’t imagine Osimhen sitting in the Napoli reserves till he becomes a free agent. It doesn’t look good for him as big club would not be keen to sign a player that’s been inactive for that long. Staying on the bench will surely reduce his value in the transfer market. As for Chelsea, I don’t believe Todd Boehly was serious about getting a striker. They couldn’t get Osimhen neither could they secure the signature of Ivan Toney. Well done Chelsea!

Haven’t he accept the deal yet? I thought Osimhen has agreed personal terms with the Saudi Arabia team before now that he is expected to go for medical; or am I the one gating the wrong news?

I also heard that Napoli left him out if their squad lost, which simply means he will not play with other squad in any seria A games for now, and since they are able to do this, he should definitely leave the team else he will be less valued as a footballer because no team will buy a player from bench.
Few hours to go for the European teams transfer window, while I think Saudi teams can still sign a player, I wanted Osimhen to get another team before time and if Chelsea cannot get him, the he should leave Europe.

The switch between Sterling and Sancho is one of the best on transfer deadline day for Arsenal and Chelsea, at least these guys will have a breathing space and an accommodating atmosphere. For Sancho I believe he'd start up from where he left up at Dortmund, he'll give out his best to the Blues without holding back anything and with him joining the club I think the threat will be coming from all angles not from only Palmer or Nkunku wing but the new guys also. At least even if the attack isn't effective for Chelsea the wingers can cause more damage to oppositions.
Arsenal can also take a chill pill since the complains of getting a striker has been going on, with Sterling on the mix I think he too will make a difference to the team couple with a fact that they have so many competitions to engage in, the squad is a bit balanced I think for now but that attacking position is not to be relied on. With Nketiah gone I still think Arteta should have added a striker to support Kai Havertz but let's see how he (Arteta) manage the team.

I also thought that Arsenal is definitely going to get a good striker. But I think they will be fine. I can see why people are losing their minds. At the end of the day budget is everything and they have to do everything according to the budget that they have. actually that it wouldn’t have been a problem for to get a good striker, still they can spend money. it’s just because they are being a little careful about spending.

Arsenal getting Sterling is definitely a very good decision. Now is it going to turn out to be a great one, only time will tell. But this definitely makes Arsenal a lot stronger on the attacking side.  people are losing their minds without any reason. Because in the last season, Arsenal was able to score good enough goals. They really did not have too many problems scoring goals. So they are going to be fine in this season as well in my opinion.

This is wild because I thought it was the league that excluded him for missing some deadline, but it was Napoli that has excluded him and they handed over the no. 9 to Romelu Lukaku. Now he is in fact forced to sign a contract with a club from Saudi Arabia. If this was all part of a plan that they negotiated behind closed doors? If not, then this is a brutal move by Napoli, but I understand because all these players are trying to squeeze the clubs like lemons. At the age of 25 the guy wanted more and more. 10 million salary is of course not enough... Poor guy can't live with 10 or 12 million, needs 15 million or more. I wish it was the time now that one these idiots get crushed and have no team to play for for a whole season.

Napoli left him out of the squad. He has no choice but to go to Arabia. He made Napoli champions. And he had many successes in Napoli. But the Napoli management was cruel to him and dishonored him. If I were him, I wouldn't want to stay in Napoli any longer.

A few seasons ago there were rumors about Osimhen for Real Madrid. But this season he will go to Arabia. It's a strange thing that will go down in football history. I think he should blame his managers. Their incompetence created this situation.

The way people talk down on Jackson is just out of this world, the season is just getting started, I just believe he should be given more time, I hear Chelsea are vigorously looking for other frontliners before the end of the transfer window to help improve on what they have on ground, I believe with the combination of the new players that might come in things will certainly change. However I am hearing the likes of Jadon Sancho, victor osimhen and the rest of them might likely be joining The blues, because its obvious Raheem Sterling is off the hook with Enzo for now, so if those deals come out successful, there certainly will be enough players to rotate, but before then let's cut Nicolas Jackson so slack as the season is just getting started.
But in the end it was in line with the performance he showed during his time at Chlesea. Giving him more time? He's heading into his second season now and he should have shown his best form if he didn't want to be criticized too much but what's happening now is the opposite because what he showed from last season and the beginning of this season still seems the same.

Last season he played 35 matches in the EPL and only 10 goals he could get although for 2 matches this season he has also managed to score but his performance will be considered ordinary if the overall statistics will not show a significant change for Jackson.
He is still one of the players who I think is developing very slowly for Chelsea and this is almost the same as what happened to Mudryk so the criticism that is happening now is the impact of him not showing a positive and consistent performance until now because if his development leads to a better situation just like Palmer did for example then criticism will also be reduced for Jackson and instead a change in attitude by giving appreciation could happen if his performance changes.

The closing of the transfer market is very surprising in my opinion, considering that the player has never been linked to move to their current team, indeed Sancho and Sterling no longer get a place in the Chelsea and Manchester United main squads but the two players are actually more associated with Manchester City and Juventus, previously Sterling was linked with returning to Manchester City as well as Sancho who is reportedly getting closer to Juventus,  But what we see now is that Sterling has actually joined  rival team, while Sancho will actually be one of the attackers in Chelsea front line at the moment, to be honest, Sancho transfer in my opinion is the most surprising transfer for me, because previously Manchester United, Ten Hag and Sancho have reconciled after all the problems that existed,But when Sancho is now willing to return to play for Manchester United, but now he is again on loan to another team, what Manchester United are doing in my opinion is a stupid thing when at the moment they need a great player but instead loan Sancho to chelsea.

When Galatasaray could not qualify for the Champions League, Zaha and Köhn left the team on loan.
Especially Zaha's cost to Galatasaray was very high.
Zaha will play on loan in Lyon, but will receive half his salary from Galatasaray.
I think Turkish teams are not professional in transfer matters.
For example, last year, Fenerbahçe was interested in Zaha, but Galatasaray paid more money and signed a 4-year deal. When Zaha became unproductive, they wanted to send him away, but he and players like him do not want to go because his salary is too high. In this case, they are forced to send half the salaries of players who will not contribute to the team by sending them on loan.
Zaha is just one example. There are players that Fenerbahçe needs to get rid of right now. For example, Zajc is gone but on loan. If they continue like this, Turkish Teams will face big problems in the future.

I think the option for Osimhen to move to Saudi is over because Al-Ahli only took one of the 2 players between Ivan Toney or Osimhen and the latest news is that Ivan Toney is undergoing a medical test meaning Osimhen will be excluded from this option. On the other hand, the Chelsea delegation is still looking for a way to bring in Osimhen and we don't know what the main obstacle but I'm sure Chelsea will announce it soon because Osimhen doesn't have many options.
Osimhen is not going to Chelsea because Chelsea has cut his wages down below what Napoli is paying him and for that reason I don't think that the deal will be possible. Osimhen will be going to Al Ahli  soonest which was the lasted news that I heard

It will be better if Osimhen finally settle down with SPL even if we know that he will not be able to win European trophies anymore but the pay is fat and if he plays there for long, he can retire as a billionaire without any further European trophy so nce football is now business.
Things like these were expected because Osimhen is having high price and Napoli management were not talking anything related to this no other club were interested on this price as well, so there were chance he is going to stay at the Napoli for another season and right now as we are having reports we are still having deadlock and Chelsea members are in Italy but no positive development for this transfer with as media were having some hype about Al Ahli this is also having no reality about this possible deal because Victor Osimhen were not interested to go Saudi Arab for playing soccer.

I have feeling he needs to rethink about his future and try to settle with Antonio Conte because with this combo he can increase his performance level and value as well for the next season Napoli is having good depth, and they can end on high in coming season.

It is unfortunate that if Osimhen stays at Napoli, the Nigerian striker will not be part of Conte main squad this season. Perhaps many people did not expect the Osimhen transfer saga to end like this, and the last chance that is still open is to move to the Saudi Pro League to join Al Ahli. Aurelio De Laurentiis has complicated things, and also disrupted the club overall transfer plans, we realize that Napoli are relying on the profits from Osimhen transfer to support Conte in building squad depth this season. In my opinion, Osimhen will not move to the Saudi Pro League, because the player has stated that he does not want to leave European competition.
The transfer window is closed and everything for Osimhen this season is finished without any solution. So we will focus on another direction with Napoli's current performance regardless of what Conte wants to show with his new format Napoli still looks difficult to go through the Serie A competition. Even in 2 matches only able to overcome it with 1 win. It is still too early but I am not sure Napoli can be in the top rankings.

It's fine. Osimhen demands a ridiculous wage from us. We also have some great strikers in our lineup. He is probably going to Saudi soon considering their window is open longer than us. There's nothing to regret; we don't pay 300k in a week for a seasonal striker like him.
Salary request is a natural thing because every player has his rights. Moreover, his contribution to Napoli is equal, now let's let Napoli focus on living the season without him and how far Napoli's journey under Conte's guidance.
