It's also a bit of a pity for Osimhen if he has to end his career in Europe and be in Saudi Arabia to resume his career there. Because the main problem is Napoli who did not lower the price appropriately so that there would be interest from European teams such as Chelsea and PSG to recruit Osimhen. I also have no doubts about the finances and readiness of the Saudi Arabian team to recruit Osimhen because the Saudi Arabian team always has more money to buy the best players in Europe even though not all players want to go there if there is still an opportunity to have a career in Europe.

I am not sure if Osimhen will join one of the clubs in the Saudi League, especially the team that wants to recruit Osimhen has almost agreed with Ivan Toney. Well, who knows what Osimhen's future is, but Romano still links that Chelsea is still working behind the scenes to bring Osimen before the transfer window closes. It is likely that the Saudi club will agree with Ivan Toney and not Osimhen, unless there are still other clubs interested in bringing him from Napoli. But still I am not sure if Osimhen will leave the Europa League, while Lukaku is rumored to have been compromised by Fabrizio Romano by signing a contract as a new Napoli player with permanent status from Chelsea. There is only one day left if I'm not mistaken the transfer window closes, if Chelsea is serious about Osimhen, it seems that before the close they will complete the deal with Osimhen and Napoli. So, let's wait.

Sofyan Amrabat signs for Fenerbahçe. 2 million euros loan fee, obligation to buy for 13 million and bonuses worth 3 million.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1829276538916708430

Mourinho has been waiting for a midfielder signing by the team for many weeks. Finally he has got what he wanted.  Smiley  Amrabat is 28 years old which is good for Fenerbahçe. He can be useful for many years if he adapts well. The fans have been complaining about Krunic's horrible performance for a while. From now on, they would be satisfied. Amrabat is mainly a DM who can play as CM too (and even as LB).

Mourinho's team is making decent signings recently so I wonder how big impact it will make on especially the Europa League...
Amrabat to Fenerbahçe is not just a transfer, that's Mourinho flipping the chessboard. The guy can play DM, CM, even LB in a pinch. That's versatility, that's options. Krunic and the midfield have been shaky, Amrabat's the fix

He wanted Manchester United, ended up in Istanbul. But look, the guy's a pro. He adapted quick at Fiorentina, he'll do the same here

Fenerbahçe fans, get ready. Your midfield's about to get a serious upgrade. Europa League? They just got a whole lot more dangerous. Depth wins tournaments, and Amrabat's got the skills to make the difference
If Amrabat performed well on Fiorentina, and he would not always be loaned. Also, we paid 15 millions for him, and it's a hefty price to get a player like him. Though his quality is above us, but it doesn't mean he can click with our squad in a short time.

The only good thing is we fixed our loopholes by getting a quality midfielder. And we can sell him to the Saudis if he struggles to click with our squad and coach. Since we have sealed the deal with Fiorentina (Loan + Obligation to buy him), and it's worth to try.

Al Ahli deal with Napoli for Victor Osimhen is deleted according to latests news.
Osimhen is going to Chelsea for a €350k weekly pay according to the news I saw today in one of our local newspapers Daily Trust. I also learnt that former Chelsea stars Drogba and Mikel Obi were instrumental to this deal as they actively participated in the negotiations to turned things around for Osimhen.

I'm confident that this is a great deal for Chelsea because they desperately needed a striker with the experience and physical strength of Osimhen.
It is still unclear how Chelsea took this deal is it over and confirmed? As far as I know it will be tough even though they are now negotiating, what makes it difficult is that Napoli don't want a low price, and I wonder what happens to this deal? Before the transfer window closes.

Yes obviously if Osimhen anchors to Chelsea it will be a new striker force for the front line, even for me Jackson is not good, better Osimhen who has a lot of experience, who knows he shines again at Chelsea if indeed this will happen tonight the deal.

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.
Why would people not talk down on Jackson when he isn't even very close to meeting up the performance we all expected of him, what has Jackson contributed to Chelsea as a striker. No, much aggressiveness when in the front of the goal and much spirited effort as a striker should be, if I'm to be Chelsea's head coach I see reason why I should keep Jackson in the club.

Well, For Victor Osimhen's deal, this night will determine what would be about this deal and the faith of the Napoli's striker to whether remain at Napoli or will be leaving, Osimhen is a striker that Chelsea shouldn't be missing out on at the end of today's transfer window closure.

I think Ferdi Kadıoğlu leaving the team was as important as Amrabat transfer. Mourinho should have kept Ferdi in the team this year. They will probably have problems at left back because they couldn't keep him in the team. Amrabat is a name that can do a lot in the midfield without Fred. I think of him as a starting 11 player, not a substitute anyway. He knows him well from the Italian league, if he wants him, I believe he will be really useful.

Of course. Ferdi Kadıoğlu's departure was even more important. I bet Mourinho tried his best to keep him at the team but it must be hard to convince the board for the same. Because the offer was really a solid one (30 million euros fixed fee plus 5 million bonuses). Could they have sold him for more? Actually yeah but they didn't want to push for more.  Sad

Now I'm curious who they will sign for the LB position. Sofyan Amrabat might also be used sometimes but I would rather seeing a real LB there. Or maybe they will just continue with Oosterwolde.

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.

So salary is the constraint, it makes sense that Osimhen is more realistic why pursue a career if it is not worth the salary even though he could have both. Previously I also heard that Osimhen was linked with Al-Ahli but Al-Ahli are one step closer to getting Ivan Toney so it doesn't make sense if they bring in 2 players at once in the same position it means exactly as i said before Al-Ahli must choose one of them and Ivan Toney is undergoing a medical test + Ivan Toney's price is lower, of course Al-Ahli will consider this fee.

Imagine with 100 Million Al-Ahli can bring 2-3 European players in different positions, that would make more sense, right? I think right now it's Chelsea who have to make the decision, whether they agree to Osimhen salary or cancel the offer. When everything is at a standstill then Osimhen must prepare himself to compete in Serie A and get back the golden boot, only in that way he can have many options next season.
I agree with you, because now that clubs are just pricing him and not sealing up the deal, it shows that they are doubtful of his performance if not many clubs will be after him no matter how much the amount is.

If Osimhen does not want to move down to Chelsea based on the cut down of his wages, he should remain in Seria A and put in his best performance so that when other clubs sees his outstanding performance this season, they can bring him over to their club by next season because every club wants to play that will improve their team performance so that there will be hope of them winning their domestic leagues.

Is it me or is Al-Ahli trying to build an unstoppable force this season? Getting Victor Osimhen who is about to undergo his medical today (if he hasn't) and now Al-Ahli have gone out to splash a £40m for Ivan Toney, medical to be taken in London and where on Earth is Chelsea while all these are happening? Chase two players and losing them both to one club on transfer deadline day.
I don't see any reason why Chelsea need to go as far as trying to get a player and can't come to a conclusion of getting the player, Enzo Maresca is going to get himself into big trouble if he fails to deliver this season and having Jackson as the only option to play his attack is not going to yield anything productive.


Saudi sources say that Al-Ahli does not have the money to buy Osimhen and Toney and in addition, according to the regulations Al-Ahli does not have two vacancies for foreign players yet. In general, this is a very strange story and it seems that Chesley really wants to sign Osimhen and is waiting for him to refuse a move to Al-Ahli. We can still believe that Al-Ahli will buy Toney, after all 40 million euros they can probably find, but to buy two such players I think the club will not be able to, because they already have on the balance sheet is Firmino, who almost stopped playing and the club in the championship are not the best, so I expect that Osimhen will still go to Chesley in the end.

If Osimhen had moved to Arabia, I think it would have been strange for his football career. He will indeed be able to earn a large salary there but considering that he is still quite young, wouldn't that be a decision that he would regret later. If he cares more about money, it means he no longer has the ambition to become a big player. However, if he is still concerned about his career, then moving to Chelsea would be a better decision, and it could also be a stepping stone if he still really wants to play with PSG.
this transfer has been one of the most talk about transfer news that have taken so many turns and yet we haven't known the final stand of other osimehn with regards going to Chelsea or soudi Arabia. I know what's still keeping the transfer pending is the amount he's requesting but one thing is that it's good he keep it straight this way so when he eventually comes if that's going to be possible they wouldn't take him for granted.  At the last game between Chelsea and Servette, no one can deny that a lot of things is missing with Chelsea attack. They do everything too well but when it comes to the finishing it becomes a problem. The team need a clinical striker like osimehn who will work with Jackson to help solidify the attack.

If he comes to Chelsea and performs we'll, the chances of going to the soudi pro league on a better clause will be opened to him but such can't be the case if he goes to the soudi league on a four year contract.  Maybe before tomorrow morning we will get the final verdict on where he stands between joining the soudi league or playing at the EPL.

Putting money around is changing things up. Take Victor Osimhen - a fantastic talent. His decision is the large cash in Saudi or top-tier competitiveness in Europe. He's left hanging by Napoli's requirements. Its hesitancy is telling. Its risky, Ivan Toney. Young and promising, but Saudi at 25? A career twist. Even though the money is crazy, it could be a ticket out of Europe.

Chelsea is still in trouble. Financial Fair Play's got them handcuffed. Though they wish to transfer, they must first sell players. Now their new manager is scrambling as top targets disappear. Chelsea faced tough things if they dont figure it out quickly. And folks, it's not just about the money. Goals, competitiveness, and game impact. Sometimes big paycheck means great sacrifices.

I might be wrong on your side but if Enzo sees these guys as second option why has he not yet tried using them to replace Jackson in any game when he knows the Jackson isn't doing well? Let's face the fact here, Chelsea only have Jackson as the number 1 striker and in the game against Wolves Jackson played more than the Nkunku and the other guy you mentioned Guiu is not even suppose to be mentioned in the first place, unless you see Jackson getting an injury which I don't see happening that's when you see the Guiu playing ahead of Jackson and as for Nkunku he can play him any where.
LOL then what's the point of buying a lot of players with a bunch of strikers if in the end Enzo Maresca will rotate Jackson with other players. It's still early and Jackson can't rest easy just because Enzo still gives him a place in the main squad. Remember there are many tasks that Enzo has to complete and he is required to continue working to rotate his strikers one by one. Like it or not there will be a lot of rotation in this club. Well for now Jackson is comfortable but without a partner like Cole Palmer there won't be many opportunities that he can take advantage of.

Nicolas Jackson has only collected 1 goal, so what is his advantage at the top of the top scorers? Grin
Where is he?


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.

Chelsea actually have enough players in the attacking line but why do they still insist on bringing Osimhen? is that the main obstacle? so Chelsea don't want to spend 100 million because they have enough players there. On the other hand, Napoli certainly do not want to release Osimhen at a lower price because they also paid 77 million when they brought him in, well it's a bit difficult to discuss it but the transfer window is about to close.

Looking like a fairly quiet deadline day in the Premier League.

No big deals seem to be happening, just loan deals and desperate teams who left it late trying to scramble for unwanted players.
I see most of the clubs that are scrambling for players especially top clubs as unserious. Well-organised clubs like Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and others have concluded their transfers because they knew what they wanted and went for it. I know that the Euro Nations Cup and Copa America slowed the market but a club should have a target and available substitute. Chelsea is still struggling to offload unwanted players and also sign some players. Anyway, I don't blame clubs with low budgets for waiting till the closing of the transfer window. They will get cheaper players who are either stranded or unwanted by clubs.      

Al Ahli has agreed a deal with Napoli for Victor Osimhen, and now it is up to the player, Chelsea are also in talks with the player, where do you guys think Osinhen will end up?
I have never followed up on a player's transfer news as I do for Victor Osimhen. The same question is on the lips of millions of Nigerians, Chelsea and SPL fans. He has two choices, go for the money or love, this will be a hard choice for even me.

Looks like it to me, the hottest news is around  Victor Osimhen, Sancho and Sterling. Al Ahli has agreed a deal with Napoli for Victor Osimhen, and now it is up to the player, Chelsea are also in talks with the player, where do you guys think Osinhen will end up?

Sancho might be heading to Chelsea, though Juventus are also in the race to sign him, Chelsea are ready to sign everybody, lol, do they even have any space in their team for Sancho. Sterling might end up in either Arsenal or United. So we are expecting a little drama today.

Hey! Tony go for loan. I don't want Manchester United to have a lot of troubles. Why is it that none of these guys want to leave Manchester United even when they are asked to leave. It is not that they have much thing to add to the club, maybe it is because of the huge salary that is given them every week. Last season it was so obvious that Harry Maguire was about to leave Manchester United but he insisted and today he is still in the club. Now it is the time for Anthony to leave Manchester United and he is still in the club. Why do they reject. I know Manchester United is among the biggest club in the world but they are not working so hard to remain in Manchester United.

I don't even understand the management of Manchester United. Do they need permission of a player to allow them go or remain. If the management have decided that Anthony should go to Real betis for a loan, so be it...

Some teams have gotten their current targets and I think while there are teams that are still trying to sign players but they don't seem to be in a hurry to get him at the moment, Liverpool have completed their first and final transfer of the season after successfully bringing Chiesa to Anfield, while Chelsea still seem to be  try get sancho with option loan and trying to get Osimhen before he actually agrees to a move to Arabia.  Arsenal, who last season became a challenger for the Premier League title, have now managed to get a new goalkeeper after Ramsdale departure to Southampton and reportedly they still have a surprising transfer that may happen before the transfer market closes later, while Manchester United currently trying to complete Sancho move to Juventus, Manchester City, who are the defending champions of the English league, have stated that they have closed the opportunity to bring in new players.

Some other clubs such as PSG and also Madrid seem to be no longer trying to strengthen their squads for now because so far they are no longer eyeing new players to get, as well as Barcelona, Milan and also Munich who seem to has found the right composition of players to face the competition this season, although currently the transfer market will be closed but it is likely that we will see some surprises happen later.

The difficult situation for Osimhen is that he is exchanged with Arab and European, but talking about who is possible to penetrate him from Napoli, Arab clubs are more ready because in the Arab financial list they are ready to penetrate Osimhen but European clubs like Chelsea and PSG are still confused by Osimhen's performance which is priced at 100 million by Napoli, this is what makes some interested teams finally not recruit him like Arsenal who were quite serious about recruiting him at the beginning but because of a request from the Napoli club which made them have to withdraw because the price was not adjusted, and now Osimhen has not received an offer or seriousness from Chelsea and also PSG and Arab are getting ahead seeing this situation. Osimhen himself has not been called by Conte in his squad and this is increasingly convincing that he is really not included in Conte's strategy this season and of course with that code Osimhen must leave there, but talking about leaving no one is really serious about recruiting him in Europe and it seems that his career in Europe will end and Osimhen will land in Arabia because there is a club there that is serious about recruiting him.
It's also a bit of a pity for Osimhen if he has to end his career in Europe and be in Saudi Arabia to resume his career there. Because the main problem is Napoli who did not lower the price appropriately so that there would be interest from European teams such as Chelsea and PSG to recruit Osimhen. I also have no doubts about the finances and readiness of the Saudi Arabian team to recruit Osimhen because the Saudi Arabian team always has more money to buy the best players in Europe even though not all players want to go there if there is still an opportunity to have a career in Europe.
