I don't know why Napoli is still not serious with selling Osimhen and they are promising Lukaku that they will buy him because he has already accepted how much he would be receiving. Let it not be that Napoli will render Lukaku clubless next season because I don't know if he will still be in Roma since Napoli has not shown any interest till they sell Osimhen. Napoli are just confused and do not know what they want or they are not getting their decisions right.

A player of Osimhen's class on loan and in exchange for Lukaku? Ah I think he is getting closer to PSG but PSG will get closer to Nico Williams the news.
I know Osimhen's clause is quite big so it's hard for other clubs who will sign him imagine 130M while Osimhen's performance was not so impressive even better when he was still under Spalletti.
Suppose if Osimhen is loaned to Chelsea and there he performs better then maybe Chelsea will pay the clause, they usually pay expensive players.

Arsenal and Liverpool will be going head to head by 1:30am in a preseason encounter that will have an impact on what the team might look like in the premier league next season when they face big teams.
These kind of test are necessary for teams and for clubs who want to do well in a new season.
As for Arsenal,They have added Calafiori to their squad,and also,their stop stopper which they signed on loan last season,known as David Raya has made his move permanent as an Àrsenal player.Where as, Liverpool are also prepared to face the gunners,and are hoping to get a result from that game.Lets wait to see how the outcome will look like.

Currently as things are going into this transfer we are having one problem Victor Osimhen who is not interested to join Chelsea because they are having no spot in Champions League with Napoli president is not letting him for going from his desired amount which is huge €120 million few weeks back we have two offers for Victor Osimhen both were nearly €100 million, but both were rejected.

Romeo Lukaku is ready for doing all because he needs to go Napoli and team up with Antonio Conte, but sadly problem is Nigerian star so most chances things will be not settled easily PSG is also interested, but they are also not going to give amount which is asked by Napoli.

Usually we all know in these situations it's never been easy to end this deadlock because currently no party is going to give any soft corner, so things could be going to take time even we can have ended this all before one or two days before this transfer window closed.

I believe Napoli does not want Osimhen to leave the club, which is why they are asking for such a big fee, and all of the top clubs will be hesitant to pay such a high fee for such a player since they are unsure whether he would help them or not in the team. PSG are not interested in Osimhen, which is why when they offer him a high fee, he logs out and looks for another striker. Only Saudi Arabia can pay such a fee because they are wealthy and can buy any player that comes their way, and I am confident Osimhen will not want to join the club because he wants to play in Europe and perform well.But since they are trying to buy Lukaku to Napoli, I think they will reduce his fees and sell him because if Lukaku comes to Napoli, I don't think Osimhen will enjoy playing in the team anymore because they won't be putting him in games like before, so the best decision is that they should reduce his fees and move to Chelsea because I am sure he will help the club very well, Chelsea don't have a good finisher in the club, but when they get the opportunity to buy Osimhen, they will Chelsea's coach should do everything necessary to transfer the player to the squad, and we'll see how he ends up or what Chelsea gets the chance and get him, but lukaku need to move to Napoli first before they can make there decision.

Osimhen's agent has already denied this rumor, looking at the demands that Napoli is making, it would be nonsense to think that Napoli would accept Osimhen being loaned out, another thing that I can't understand is why Osimhen doesn't forget about this issue about changing teams and focus on performing well at Napoli, because in my opinion it seems to me that Osimhen wants to leave Napoli because he realized that Napoli won't play in the European Champions League next season and they run a high risk of not playing in the Champions League in the other seasons to come

But he needs to be aware that if there aren't many big teams interested in him and because he still needs to improve and show that he is a player of a much higher level, if PSG or any other team saw in Osimhen a talent like Mbappe, then they wouldn't hesitate to pay any amount to have Osimhen. See this news:

with that amount of money that PSG spent, if they hadn't spent it and increased the value, they could have easily bought Osimhen, this means that PSG didn't buy Osimhen because they don't see him as a super player, but rather a normal player and Napoli is deluding themselves by placing high values

I think if Napoli really want to sell Osimhen as it stands now is to reduce his fee for PSG to sign him, since I think PSG is ready to him the salary he earns at Napoli while if Chelsea wants him then they have to be ready to meet his salary demands and Napoli offer.

Though both Chelsea and Napoli is in somehow in a tight spot since both team are trying to offload a striker to get who they want while a swap deal would make everything easier since Lukaku wants Napoli while Osimhen might choose Chelsea if they meet his wage demands.

Not settling for a loan to Chelsea for Osimhen is the best thing that the agent should fight for. I don’t also fancy that he joins Chelsea as a loan player. Let them do the swap deal do that they can dispose off Lukaku as they want and bring in Osimhen that will do better and last longer in the club than Lukaku will if he’s retained for another year. Both players are good both when we talk about how long the players can play for the club and add a lot of impact to the success of the game is very important more. I don’t know why a player like him is taking too long for a club to sign him, is it because of his poor performance last season? They should at least see the better part of him and his capability if given a chance to play for a team.

I think Chelsea are interested in Osimhen mostly because they have the opportunity to get rid of Lukaku, who they definitely don't need. Maybe they are both a bit capricious, but there is one very significant factor between them, it is a big age difference (7 years if I am not mistaken), so it is obvious that for Chelsea it could be a very profitable deal, if it could happen. The strange thing is that Lukaku is so valued by Conte, apparently when the coach and the player find a common language, the results become better, as it was with Osimhen and Spalletti.

I don’t know on what basis that you place your analysis but i will disagree about it being Osimhen having same problem as Lukaku, first of all Lukaku lack of goals doesn’t have anything to do with him being a bad player but rather he was never given a chance to play at Chelsea, they have been looking for a way to offload him since his return due to falling out with them. That aside Osimhen is an excellent player, had problems internally last season, aside that missed a lot of matches due to Injury and the African Cup of nations which he still got 16 goals at the end.

Now bringing both Alvarez and Olmo Into this debate is not right because this are totally different players with different game  styles, Olmo to start with is never a center forward, Alvarez is a striker but not those build to play the lone striker position and is similar to Chelsea’s Jackson style of play, although he plays better. Osimhen is that towering figure that Chelsea needs at that front at the moment. The only thing is that Napoli are asking for just too much money now for a player they wish to offload.


They are just young goalkeepers, that I don’t see making any appearances in the first team this season expect a heavy injury hits the team, although I agree with you that Chelsea definitely doesn’t need this new goalkeepers except there are saying that they will sell off some most especially with the coming back of Kepa Arizabalaga from his loan spell. But right now it just too much to have all keepers as first team players, definitely some will fight for a loan move away from the club for more game time.

The Nigeria international have basic necessities to meet up, always having priorities to meet up. He’s ready for top challenges and always taking into his spectacular stats. Victor Osimhen could be promising with Napoli but playing for the English Premier League have always been his dream,can he actually make it come through. Chelsea is elite club, they’re forcing actions towards promising players.

If Napoli still want Osimhen release clause at a high price, it means Napoli have made it difficult for Osimhen to move to another club. This situation will be very detrimental to Napoli if they fail to finish in a better position and Osimhen performance continues to decline, his price will also drop drastically. Another worst possibility is that Osimhen will rebel against Napoli in his own way, he will no longer play as usual because he feels that Napoli has made him fail to go to another club.

Now Osimhen seems to be locked up by Napoli, he is really in an unfavorable position. Offers from Chelsea and PSG would give Napoli a large amount of funds to recruit other players, but they are still waiting for a higher offer. If Napoli accepts the offer from the Saudi Arabian Club, then Osimhen's future will be even more bleak and Napoli has ruined Osimhen's career.

I'm sorry about this, but Calenda (Osimhen's agent) has confirmed that he denies a loan move for Osimhen. Even if there will be a buy clause option, I strongly believe this will not happen. I'd like to call that fake news. I knew this fake news was coming from D. Ornstein, and Calenda, as Osimhen's agent, has denied it.



Romano's report on Osimhen's agent's statement confirmed that the rumor was not true.

With the way Chelsea are moving in this transfer market, somebody has to stop them. Chelsea have signed like 30 players in the last 2 years. I don’t know how they are still able to sign players. And it’s not small money they are paying, £15 upwards. I don’t really understand their plans for the season because they have not brought in noticeable names that will put them in a position to challenge for the title.
These young players they’re recruiting will not elevate. They need some experience figures in that team.
Bringing in so many Goalkeepers that they won’t use is not the way for this team. Maybe the Management have a plan, so I’ll relax and watch how these signings play out .

Osimhen agent has confirmed that rumors about the loan are a hoax and he has denied that there are any discussions with Chelsea regarding the loan option at this time, Osimhen also reportedly refuses that any team that wants to sign him will pay a salary less than what he currently earns at Napoli, according to I think the speculation that continues to occur will continue to create a lot of confusion for all of us, so I think it's better for us to wait for new news and any information that appears from Napoli or Osimhen social media at this time rather than referring to sports article sources that are not trusted at all, for now It is very likely that Osimhen will stay at Napoli even though that is not his wish, because so far several teams that want to recruit him has stated that they refuse to pay 120 million euros, in my opinion it is very likely that we will see him leave next winter if Napoli changes of their mind with the prices they have set so far.

After failing to get Julian Alvarez or Arthem Dovbyk, now Atletico has changed the direction of its target for a new striker and this time their choice fell on Alexander Sorloth from Villarreal. As is known, Atletico is still confused about finding a replacement for Alvaro Morata who has already left to join Milan and they must get a productive striker if they want to continue to secure full points in each match.

Alexander Sorloth is the right striker and last season he contributed 23 goals in the La Liga competition alone and placed him in 2nd place for top scorers and only 1 goal behind Arthem Dovbyk who scored 24 goals. No wonder Atletico is so interested in him and currently negotiations with Alexander Sorloth are underway. Let's see if Diego Simione succeeds in getting the player he is targeting.

Chelsea purchasing policy has always been unpredictable, last season they completely overhauled their squad and brought in young players, now in addition to adding goalkeeper options, The Blues are also at the forefront in purchasing strikers and midfielders. With the many options that The Blues have, it means that a long-term program will be implemented because it is impossible to have to fight for a place in one full season which usually would not be ideal for squad stability. Palmer is reported to have received a new position from Enzo, personally the coach has a special plan for Palmer because last season he managed to make an extraordinary contribution. If you look at Palmer situation, I am optimistic that he can maneuver a little if he continues to be trusted by Enzo.

Switching a little to Man United where Yoro who was just inaugurated suffered an injury. Is Man United's purchase very reckless? he hasn't done anything big but his physical is problematic. So don't expect too much because Man United purchase of Yoro is considered too hasty just because Yoro is being eyed by Real Madrid. Now as Fabrizio posted, we are a little disappointed why Man United had to spend 2x the cost for a player who will only sit on the bench longer than on the green grass.

The only club Victor Osimhen has made terms with is the French side Paris Saint German who are very eager to have the Nigerian striker in their squad next season to replace k. Mbappe. For Chelsea it's all still a rumour about Victor Osimhen moving there at the moment. One of the factor delaying Osimhen definite move to any club right now is the clause fee placed on him by Napoli and since Antonio Conte is in dare need of the Belgium forward Romelo Lukaku who has been on loan for two seasons now Chelsea are thinking of swapping Lukaku with Osimhen with an adjusted added fee. But it doesn't seem Osimhen is interested in going to Chelsea as much as he is with PSG which is where I believe he will have a favourable playing career than in Chelsea.

Next times go ahead and mention names and don't be shy... My guys tells me you're talking about Nicolas Jackson, and it's so glaring he should be the one . Jackson no excuse has had a bad playing time at Chelsea but I think he needs some encouragement to boost his confidence on the pitch. I think some support from the fans would bring an improving result on the player than booing him for certain clueless mistakes he had been making. Nicolas is a talented forward he's just not have it all figured out yet at Chelsea.

Napoli of course are good that they have prescribed for Osimhen such a big payoff, but 130 million for him could have been asked 2 years ago, when in the season 2022\2023 he scored 26 goals, but last season he could only score 16 goals and it was obvious that the player with a difficult character, which should also be taken into account. I think Chelsea are right to get rid of Lukaku and include him in the deal, but selling one capricious player (Lukaku) and buying another capricious player (Osimhen) is not a good idea, especially in the market now after Euro 2024 there are more interesting players like Alvarez or Olmo.
