Speculation about Osimhen seems to be endless at the moment, after PSG previously decided to withdraw because Napoli wanted Kang In Lee as an additional condition for Osimhen's transfer to PSG, but PSG firmly rejected this condition because they still needed Kang In Lee in the squad, a few days ago there was once again the possibility of an agreement for Osimhen loan option between napoli and chelsea, but Osimhen rejected this and he emphasized that he wanted a permanent move and only wanted PSG as a club for him to continue his next career, so Chelsea has now shifted their target to striker Samu Omorodion from Atletico Madrid.

Chelsea withdrawal has actually made Napoli run out of ways to sell Osimhen, but even so, of course Arsenal won't be easy to get Osimhen at this time, because after all Napoli still doesn't want to lower Osimhen price even though it might make Osimhen stay at the club next season, besides that Osimhen high salary request will definitely make Arsenal think twice about recruiting him, even though Arsenal currently need a striker, they still won't be careless in recruiting players who might only make their financial problems swell later, to be honest from the two current strikers this which continues to be linked with Arsenal, namely Osimhen and Gyokeres, It is clear in my opinion that Gyokeres is a better target for them to get than Osimhen.

The previous offer submitted by Barcelona had indeed been rejected by Leipzig because the offer did not make sense for them to accept at this time, so Barcelona had to change the offer including adding quite a large bonus if Barcelona later won the championship trophy, a personal agreement between Dani Olmo and Barcelona actually happened a few weeks ago but Barcelona is waiting for the possibility of recruiting Nico Williams before they make an official offer to Leipzig, previously Barcelona had stated that they had sufficient funds to recruit Nico Williams as the main transfer target this summer, but it seems like Barcelona, ​​Bilbao Athletic and Nico Williams did not find an agreement to realize the transfer and finally made Barcelona shift their target to Dani Olmo, after failing to get Nico Williams of course Barcelona immediately made an offer to Leipzig and reportedly they only needed to complete a few more documents to be able to introduce Dani Olmo to the public Catalan in near time.

This move is some how good for the player Alvarez who wants more playing time that he hardly gets from the Citizens, we know he has been playing behind Haaland and to me I prefer Alvarez to Haaland or better still play them always but it seems the player Alvarez needs those minutes Haaland is having and for most part of his play has been either Haaland is injured or having some suspension before you see Alvarez start and end the game. I think Alvarez is unfairly treated at Man City, this guy need to always start which we hardly see. But going to join ATM is better at least he will play more than his time at Man City.

You mean the extra 7 million euros? It sounds a bit odd if Barca don't have 55 million euro to pay Leipzig but this transfer got finalized. What kind of deal did they make if that was the case? I can see paying in installments if the price tag for him is higher, like what Chelsea did with their young players and their 8 year contracts etc. From the wording I get the impression that the extra payment has a difficult clause to trigger, but Barca can pay 55 million just fine. CMIIW.

To be precise, it was not Dani Olmo who agreed to this transfer but the final stage was fully handled by Leipzig. Surely we still remember the ridiculous offer from Barcelona that had made Leipzig angry and maybe this time Leipzig has changed their mind after there was something that Barcelona could convince to smooth this transfer. From the beginning, Dani Olmo was interested in joining Barcelona but it was delayed because Barcelona was too complicated.

In addition, I am also curious about the mention of "55m euro package guarantee" and is it possible that Barcelona does not have that much money and must make other efforts to be able to generate it? Well, apart from all that, now Dani Olmo can continue his career with Blaugrana and with this we will Barcelona will be much stronger than before.

It may not be right to expect a goal from a midfielder. Of course, if he scores, he will have made a great contribution, but there is an expectation from the forwards to score. In my opinion, Gallagher was doing his job very well. However, Chelsea must have gone into another structure and they do not consider him in the squad. I think he should have been given another year's chance, but of course this is the manager's decision.

If that's the latest news development, the newspaper media will report all transfer market activities this summer, especially with the informative nature of the news material. I try to assume, if there is no new news related to Osimhen. that's why, news about Osimhen's transfer is not widely reported by many sports media. well, some of the references I refer to still link Osimhen with several Premier League teams. but the one that is currently being linked is Chelsea, as quoted from Fabrizio Romano, so far there has been no change regarding Victor Osimhen's opportunity with Chelsea. although it seems that talks are still ongoing, there has been no concrete change. there is our local news that reports, if Osimhen refuses to join Chelsea. however, I doubt the report. moreover, it does not refer to a fairly well-known sports media as a reference. so too with Paris Saint-Germain, this giant French League club may still be waiting for further developments. moreover, PSG has reached an agreement with the player. however, PSG refused to pay the transfer as Napoli wanted. As for Arsenal, The Gunners are hunting for a striker who can be relied on to score goals. Several names have been linked since last month, so far there have been no concrete steps including Arsenal's offer to Napoli. Well, so far no club is willing to pay the release clause for the Nigerian striker. Interestingly, several reports have reported that Chelsea is offering Lukaku an option. Let's just wait, the closer we get to the end of the transfer window the more exciting it will be.

Saudi Arabian Premier League teams will cover the transfer fee for him, but it will be very difficult to convince the player. Osimhen has a dream of playing in the Premier League. He is also very young and wants success in Europe. He may not want to go to Saudi Arabia at this age. Some players were saying that money is not everything. Maybe Osimhen is one of them. Napoli is ready to sell the player for the transfer fee income, but there are very few teams in Europe that will pay this amount of money.

Well, that's a record fee for Man City and a huge profit on the £14m they paid for Alvarez from River Plate. On a personal level, Alvarez is unhappy with being benched regularly, playing a backup role to Erling Haaland. I believe Alvarez personally wanted to move to Atletico, the team that made this bold move was Atletico Madrid. I don't believe why they would be willing to spend a lot of money to bring in a striker that I don't rate highly, even when he was at Man City or the national team. If I were Simeone, I would spend that money on other players. For example, Nico Williams.

I believe that after getting Julian Alvarez, Atletico Madrid will transfer striker Samu Omorodion to Chelsea for a fee of around 40.8 million euros. To compensate for this bold spending. Anyway, Alvarez is very close to a new chapter in his career. and now it's time for the Argentine star to make a name for himself, that I was wrong to underestimate him.

Barcelona directors are currently discussing a deal to bring Dani Olmo to Barcelona, ​​a guaranteed €55 million package plus €7 million in add-ons, with a 6-year contract and Dani Olmo has agreed,

Barcelona are now showing their readiness to take La Liga seriously with new ammunition,

we'll see what game Dani Olmo will show in La Liga, if all agreements are met

The 2022/23 season Atletico Madrid finished in 3rd place in the standings below Real Madrid and the 2023/24 season dropped to 4th place below Girona so in terms of strength Atletico experienced a decline in performance plus they were also eliminated from the Champions League. Now hopefully by bringing in a striker like Alvarez we hope there will be a little improvement. Simeone has big plans for him in La Liga and in terms of profit Alvarez took a bold step to get out of the Man City ranks.

Osimhen have to force his move out of Napoli because it’s very clear that the club is no more interested in him and may not even utilize him that much next season even if a buyer doesn’t come for him. The idea of selling off a young striker and bringing in an older one makes it very unbelievable to me, but Conte knows best why he’s so interested to sign Lukaku to play for Napoli.

Osimhen striking capability have reduced last season and no club will come to buy him for this price. PSG that showed interest before even wanted the player to reduce salary but I think they didn’t come to an agreement on that and so they back off and stop chasing after him. Chelsea don’t look much interested in this player, so the swap deal may not go through with Lukaku.

One more season of Osimhen at Napoli will just weaken him more if not utilized and that will cause a more crash in his market value. I hope the player doesn’t make wrong choices because with happenings like this, players end up being forgotten and his prime all gone to dust that he can never shine again. I still believe he can come up again like the old days if utilized for another season by any club.

It is a good transfer for Atletico Madrid, I must say they are getting a very good player at a cheap price. Julain Alvarez still at his prime and he has won everything that's supposed to be won by a player. He is about to enter the peak of his career, at 24 we are about to see the best part of his career. He is quick with the ball and he scores good and important goals for his club and country when it is much needed. If not that he was up against a striker that's good in all areas at Manchester City there wouldn't have been need for him to leave, but he has to make this move, so he can save his international career and secure his place with the Argentine's national team. He will be a great addition to Atletico Madrid

Alvarez started arguing with Guardiola in absentia and after the Copa America he said he wanted more time in the main squad and Guardiola doesn't like to be under pressure, in fact even Haaland can sit on the bench if Guardiola so chooses. So Alvarez had no choice but to leave, because Guardiola would have benched him anyway for his attitude towards the club and the rest of the players.

Besides, it's a great deal for City, because they bought Alvarez for 14 million and are selling him for 70+25 and his price has gone up several times in a couple of years.

In the past couple of seasons, Atletico Madrid hasn't been up to what the team used to be ,So there's need for them to step the team a bit so to be able to match shoulders with their major league counterparts Real Madrid and Barcelona this coming season, as well as in the Champions League and Europa Cup competitions.
Manchester City Julian Alvarez is a very young talented player whom I think will fit in properly into Atletico Madrid team's tactical system of play and is a win for the Atletico side.

Honestly, Nico is good, but I'd prefer Adeyemi over Nico. The only problem is Borussia priced Adeyemi too high, and also i think Juventus is not having a lot of money to spend. And it sounds crazy if the money raised from selling Soulé and Hujsen combined just to buy Adeyemi. This is why Juventus goes for an alternative choice like Nico.
But, I think it's risky to take Nico. He has a history of injuries, and he isn't worth the price tag. Juventus must be concerned about Nico's injury record before trying to make a deal to get him. Also, there are some pluses from Nico. He has Serie A experience; also, he is an Argentina NT regular.

Hopefully, Nico's injury record won't hurt his career at Juventus if they take him.

News updates related to Osimhen are now starting to rarely come across in the sports news media that I follow. Maybe everyone is starting to get bored with the long drama related to Osimhen in the transfer market. But actually a few days ago I heard that Arsenal was indeed ready to bring in Osimhen. Which means Arsenal will be competing with PSG for this player's signature. Arsenal are even said to have made a bigger offer than PSG. It's just that Arsenal seems to be paying Osimhen a lower salary than what PSG is offering. But I think Arsenal understands that the most important thing is to get Napoli to agree first. Because Arsenal seems to realize that Osimhen will even accept offers from clubs who want to bring him in even though his salary may not be as big as before. But I haven't confirmed whether this news is true or not.

Really? it's crazy.

I thought that Alvarez will replace De Bruyne as he's getting old, but if they want to sell Alvarez, this mean it's either new player or Foden will play in attacking midfield position. 75 Million Euros for Alvarez is cheap since it's below his market value.

Atletico Madrid have sign Le Normand, Sorloth and the next one is Alvarez, Atletico Madrid might can give a fight in Champions League.

Atletico Madrid is making a smart move by signing a new midfielder from Chelsea while Chelsea is thinking that they are going to make a good profit from the transfer fee of selling Gallagher, Gallagher is one underrated midfield player, Gallagher is the type of midfielder that make the midfield position strong because he is a kind of player that can mark when you need him, he is very strong and when it comes to marking he always supports, Chelsea don’t see him as one of the top players in the team but Atletico Madrid knows what he’s capable of doing that is why they want to sign him without no care about the amount Chelsea put on him.

Chelsea will later realize that Gallagher is a very important player in that midfield when the season starts, Atletico Madrid's midfield will be very strong because Gallagher knows how Atletico Madrid plays and he will help them, I don’t see anybody talking about Atletico Madrid's movement but I think that team is going to be one of the best and strong team this season, the team is buying good players on a low movement and when they get all those players as they are planning the team is going to be very strong to challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga.

It has been confirmed that Manchester City has accepted Atletico Madrid offer for the purchase of Julian Alvarez and this is fairly quick agreement because Atletico Madrid themselves immediately gave an amount that matches what Manchester City wanted.
Without much drama in this transfer, it has also shown that Atletico Madrid has directly approached the player and will immediately conduct medical test before officially signing the expected 5-year contract.
Previously, the first offer only reached 70 million euros but was rejected and now they have given an additional 75 million euros and received approval from Manchester City.
Moreover, Julian Alvarez is also fairly great young striker, joining Atletico Madrid will greatly help them in participating in several competitions, especially for La Liga next season.
