Not all teams can afford his high salary demands and I think Osimhen should reconsider his expectations. Osimhen is a good striker and Napoli actually still want him very much. There is no other way for the Nigerian if he does not make an option. But it seems that Chelsea are very interested in him and Osimhen is the right person to answer the doubts in the Blues' attack line. There are still a few days left for Osimhen to decide his future before the transfer window closes. I hope he can dock at Stamford Bridge.
Victor Osimhen is one of the top striker in the European football and I don't seem to understand the reason why most of these elite clubs recalcitrant refused to table bids for the Nigeria international. Osimhen have always dream to play for EPL clubs and Chelsea seems to be one of the top clubs willingly to sign him but there's goes this factor that have made them to on a hold. The bid price on Victor Osimhen and his terms are high, basically Chelsea are in good shape and wouldn't go ahead to persuade a player that's very expensive when they've already made good signing this season.

Osimhen deserves better than this, he gave everything for the team and led them to their first Serie A title in years, he was the difference for them and now they are treating him like trash because he suddenly decides to leave. You don’t expect such player to remain at an average club forever, he definitely would want to join a much bigger club. They should have honored him a little bit for his performance for them so far
Napoli is not maltreating the Nigerian. He has made his intention clear that doesn't want to remain in the club. The club has no option than to put him for sell and learn to play without him. Victor Osimhen is no doubt a good striker but he is not in good form compared with his last two season's performance. The club was asking too much for him but it seems they have reduced his asking price. It is now time for the Nigerian player to make some sacrifices. Asking for £500k per week is too much. Goal machine Ering Haaland receives €375 weekly. Victor should shift grounds if he wants to move to a competitive league.
He also has an option to go for a loan with a chance of securing a permanent deal. He has to make his decision fast if he wants to remain in Europe. He is still 25 and will improve if he works hard. He can get better offers next season if he scores more goals, so he should make some sacrifices. If he is only playing for the money, then Saudi Professional League will be his best bet because he would get more than he is asking for.

By the way, Manchester United is willing to exchange Jadon Sancho with Chelsea player Raheem Sterling. It is known that Man United has been at odds with Jadon Sancho for a long time and the future of this player is also unclear. Ten Hag did not give him the opportunity to play. Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling also felt the same way at Chelsea. I think this Chelsea player exchange deal has been quite popular lately. They have also just officially exchanged their players Conor Gallagher with Joao Felix, while rumors of Lukaku's exchange with Oshimen are still ongoing.
United's wings are a mess. Rashford's been a ghost. Sterling, love him or hate him, is a proven Premier League performer. He could inject some life into that attack. This swap could be a win-win. Sancho gets a fresh start. Sterling gets a chance to prove he's still got it. Picture this: Sterling on the left, Bruno feeding him those killer passes. United's attack could be lethal
Sancho can't stay in Macnshter United since Ten Hag is working in this team they had bad days they had problems in the past which can affect the relationship between these two for the next season and I think Sancho is better to move to another team where he can have peace to more chance to play than Manchester United.
Chelsea is trying to improve the team and get better players that's why Sancho got an offer from Chelsea to join this team which is the best he can do however Chelsea is not a stable team to be safe enough for Sancho.
You mentioned Chelsea here, this team may be doing poorly recently but their past stats are very good. If this player moves to this Premier League club then he will definitely gain importance at Chelsea and he will be able to get on as a regular player which is definitely a positive for him.

Chelsea have been trying as much as they can to secure the Napoli striker's signature in exchange of Lukaku and it seems that deal has been one of their toughest deal to get hold of since they started signing players this very transfer window, it seems they (The Blues) have channelled their strength on getting Ivan Toney from Brentford.
Toney has made himself known in the EPL and you'd agree with me that he is really good in front of goal and if possibly Chelsea stick to this deal I believe they can get him to join the club because for the past 2 games of the season the player Ivan Toney haven't been listed on the Brentford list not even the sub if I'm not mistaken, that alone shows they want to sell if the right offer comes, to me this is a much better deal without any delay compare to that of Osimhen.
Between the two strikers who is more reliable than the other? We know all about Victor Osimhen, what he has done for the Italian side Napoli with the number of goals and getting them the Skuˈdetto, he really made a great impact on getting that trophy for his team. Between Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney who would be more effective than the other, which of them is better and can fit in properly in the Chelsea squad?🤔

Liverpool has made an first offer to get Chiesa from Juventus at the moment and Chiesa is also reportedly interested in playing in the Premier League so if it doesn't problems then the transfer looks like it will happen for a fee of 15 million euros.
Maybe I misread but I feel like there's conflicting information regarding his transfer to Liverpool. Some reported that he's waiting a few more days for Barca but now he's keen to join Liverpool after initial contact. Maybe different source of information? I remember reading somewhere that Romano is a bit unreliable at times, but considering Joyce also reported the same thing it sounds like the deal is on progress.IIRC he's a bit injury prone isn't he? Maybe he will be a backup for Diaz unless Slot and his medical team can make him fit every season.
Cancelo to Al Hilal Here We Go
It is no surprise that he no longer has a place in Europe, his fate is often loaned without clarity and his playing time is uncertain. Man City let him go with 25 million Euro, but at least there he can play with enough time and of course salary. Maybe everything can end in Europe and it will be difficult to return.
Regarding Chiesa, it’s a bit of strange one. 4 years ago he was probably one of the most in demand wingers in Europe. He suffered a bad knee injury and now with less than 12 months remaining on his Juventus contract, they are willing to sell him for less than £20,000,000.
Something doesn’t add up here and I’m not sure if Liverpool should be taking the gamble.

Arsenal have few central strikers who can be relied on, but it is reported that currently arsenal is getting closer to completing nketiah move to Crystal Palace, Nketiah who is a player who came from the Arsenal academy, has played 168 matches with Arsenal main squad, with creating 38 goals and also 7 assists, so far he has succeeded in breaking into Arsenal main squad but has not been able to show consistency in maintaining his position in the Gunners front line, so it is not surprising that all this time Edy Nketiah has been on the bench, although he have good speed and technique but poor instincts in scoring goals make Arsenal did not hesitate to sell him to another team.
Previously, Marseille was the team that wanted to recruit him, but Arsenal rejected the offer because it did not meet their demands, but currently, Crystal Palace is getting closer to completing the deal with 25 million euros plus additional 5 million euros.

Juventus is now very close in signing Jadon Sancho from Manchester united but they need to get rid of some players first.
The 1st candidate set to leave is Cheisa, who is on Barca, Bayern and Liverpool radar.
Kostic will also probably leave.

Liverpool so far only putting Federico Chiesa into their radar but seems they still didn't dare to bid for this player and actually if this rumour is true then probably Federico Chiesa will be accept the offers from Liverpool because Federico Chiesa was admitting by himself that he is very interested want to playing outside Italy and Premier league could be good destination for him and if there is any Premier league clubs who really want to bought him then Federico Chiesa gladly will accept those offers
But i think Liverpool doesn't need Federico Chiesa because Liverpool have no problem for their front lines because we all know the players such as Mo Salah, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz so far has been displayed good performance in the last 2 matches in Premier league besides these players Liverpool also has Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo who can be categorized as world class player so in my opinion for front lines basically Liverpool very solid and they don't need Federico Chiesa
Juventus want to get €15m for Chiesa, which to be honest is not that much for such a player, but for Chiesa the priority is to go to Barcelona, and Barcelona have financial problems and so far they have not said no, but Chiesa will wait until the end of the day for an answer. If the answer is negative, then he will consider other options from the Premier League, primarily Liverpool or Tottenham.But i think Liverpool doesn't need Federico Chiesa because Liverpool have no problem for their front lines because we all know the players such as Mo Salah, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz so far has been displayed good performance in the last 2 matches in Premier league besides these players Liverpool also has Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo who can be categorized as world class player so in my opinion for front lines basically Liverpool very solid and they don't need Federico Chiesa
But I will say that perhaps he is in vain wanting to leave Juventus, it seems that things are not bad with Motta there, although if he manages to go to Barcelona or Liverpool, it will be a step forward in his career.
Dybala took a decision that not everyone can take easily and decided to stay in Rome. Why I say not easily because Dybala turned down an offer of 75 Million Euros for 3 years from Saudi Arabia. He could have put his money in his pocket and enjoyed himself like everyone else, but he chose not to. Dybala deserves a lot of respect. Dybala was very effective in Serie A with Roma last season, leading the team's attacking play. Roma are lucky not to lose such a talented player. The Saudi Pro League will never surpass the European Leagues. Because soccer is also a game of culture.
Previously I thought Dybala would really play in the Saudi League, because negotiations between the Saudi club, AS Roma and Dybala seemed to be going smoothly. However, it turned out that Dybala decided to stay with AS Roma, even though there was no continuation regarding the future of his contract. As we know, Dybala's contract will end in June 2025. Dybala is a great player, unfortunately he is very susceptible to injury. That's why his career is not as prominent as his fellow countrymen, Argentina. Previously, rumors reported that AS Roma wanted to sell Dybala in the summer transfer window, but the player was reluctant to leave Europe. In his statement to reporters, Dybala stated that the main reason for his decision was not merely money, family factors also turned out to be a significant consideration. In the end, at least Dybala will stay with Roma until his contract ends for another season. I hope that the player who has turned 30 will not have problems with injuries until the end of the season.
I found one interesting rumour today because Saudi Pro League team Al Ahli has joining the race to gets Osimhen from Napoli because recently they were officially submitted initial bid to Napoli for Victor Osimhen 65 million but so far no agreement between Osimhen and Al Ahli but indeed this price is far from buy out clause for Osimhen but if Osimhen has agree to the further step then Al Ahli will thinking the possibility to raise their bid and not impossible Al Ahli will buy according to Osimhen clause price 130 million because just like we know Al Ahli is rich club

I saw Napoli reducing his transfer fee so they can come to agreement with clubs who have shown interest in him. Agreement between the clubs could most likely happen but the major difficulty would be pleasing Victor Oshime for his high demands. He is so much interested that any club wanting him should pay him well. Well, that might work in Saudi Arabian Premier Clubs but not in the Premier League Competition, I like him as a player but he isn't prime Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. He is still open to joining Chelsea regardless. He joins and he'll bench Nicholas Jackson immediately.
Manchester United finally lands the deal with Paris Saint Germany for Manual Ugarte. At this point, Erik Ten Hag's Manchester United team has to show developments and improvements.
I'm not sure Marcus Rashford is one player that I can boast of though in that Manchester United squad, but this squad should qualify Manchester United for the top four and Champions League Competition.
Dybala has to think about his future, what's best for him, because he in his integrity is the one who has to solve, a football club will always do things in favor of the club, so a player will never be above a club and that has been very understood, that is why if he decides to leave, first he will have a large amount of money every month and second his level will not lower, that is to say, he will not go to the MLS which is for me like a graveyard of players, where everything goes down, the Saudi League has a high level now, at least it seems to me that it has a higher level than Ligue 1.
I am surprised that you see the Saudi League at a better level than League 1. They are just trying to do something with the power of money. But I understand that they are very close to achieving something now. I don't know if they can do it forever. But a few years ago I wouldn't have thought that someone would have made the comment you made. I think I have to admit that they have made a very good progress in a very short time. If UEFA gives them the right to participate in some of their events, we could see more interesting developments. I think they deserve a chance.

🚨🔴 EXCLUSIVE: Liverpool make initial approach for Federico Chiesa as possible option for final days.
Chiesa, available on the market as Juve want to find a solution and #LFC made contact today.
Liverpool exploring conditions of the deal as Chiesa would be keen on PL move.
https://x.com/fabrizioromano/status/1828123153123738032
He was a €100,000,000 player before the bad injury. With one year left on his contract with Juve, fir sucg a cheap price this could be a risk worth taking.
This rumor has been so busy since yesterday on social media and many fans want Chiesa's transfer to Liverpool to go well. In my opinion, as a winger, Chiesa's role is still quite complex and he is still quite sharp in front of the opponent's goal. The fee requested by Juventus is also not expensive for a player like him so this is indeed the right step to take.🚨🔴 EXCLUSIVE: Liverpool make initial approach for Federico Chiesa as possible option for final days.

Certainly under the direction of Arne Slot he will be able to be a good supporter for the Reds' attack line and it can also be said that now is the right time for him to gain experience in another league. He has been in Italy for a long time and must dare to follow the good steps that have been taken by other Italian players such as Jorginho or even Calafiori who has now joined Arsenal.

At last a 30m deal until 2027.
The Romelo Lukaku deal to Napoli is almost sealed if not already by now. It appears that as the days get closer to the end of the transfer window we'll be seeing much deals sealed that were earlier lingering in controversy and uncertainty. This deal by Napoli entails some assurance on the pet of Chelsea fans that Victor Osimhen is definitely leaving Napoli for the Blues as they are currently the only club. showing a serious interest on the striker.
Many questions to ponder now as: can Lukaku give Napoli the level of performance and achievements Victor Osimhen gave? Or is Conte just so in love with the Belgium striker over Osimhen that he had to prefer having Lukaku over Osimhen despite his records with Napoli?

Snip
If Napoli only want to accept Osimhen to go to Saudi Pro League, it means they don't want to meet Osimhen in other teams, probably in Champions League, Europa League or Europa Conference. If he join Al Ahli, there's no way they will meet each other even Al Ahli become a champion in Saudi Pro League.Another reason is Napoli want to destroy Osimhen career.
Napoli needs to act the part. They have the upper hand in the negotiations but it's looking like the power has shifted to Osimhen's camp.
What I expected them to say is, meet our release clause and we sell. if you don't meet our release clause, Osimhen stays and is re-integrated into the squad. Now, they have dropped price to £65m.
Freezing Osimhen out even weakens their position further.
Fabrizio mentioned that Napoli may sell Osimhen for 65 million euros to Saudi league if Osimhen agrees on a deal, is that real? I mean that makes no sense, I am sure that PSG and Chelsea probably offered a lot more, why would they be willing to sell him for cheaper? That must be wrong right?
