It looks like Arsenal setting themselves for another near success story next season. They have a striking problem. They need to sign a goal scoring center-forward as soon as possible if they want a chance to get the Premier League title at the expense of Manchester City. With Victor Osimhen out of the transfer discussion, Mikel Arteta needs to find another player to fill the position. They can’t just rely on Kai Havertz, Saka and Gabriel Jesus to make it work. Arsenal seem too relaxed for a team who is competing against arguably the best side in all of Europe.

Osimhen will join PSG soon, Arsenal isn't interested to bring new striker anymore, high likely they will focus to rely on Havertz since his performance getting better. Even Calafiori is a good defender in Bologna, but I doubt if he will give big change to Arsenal.

I want Victor Osimhen to join PSG. In the French side he is show of first team shirt and he would be working under s experienced coach Luis Enrique. When people complain that Victor's performance reduced last season but he didn't play under a good coach and suffered some injuries. In PSG has some of the best players that will work with him, with his strength and speed, PSG's attack will be dangerous.

I might be wrong, but I am also suspecting that Victor's bad temper. He easily gets angry and doesn't control it sometimes. He once called Kvaratskhelia's agent, Mamuka Jugeli a shameless piece of shit. He have had issues with ex-Nigerian coach George Finidi and former Napoli coach Rudi Garcia. But the good part about him is that after the outburst, he would apologize. I know he has learned from his mistakes and is maturing to be an experienced player

Osimhen will join PSG soon

So he is potentially going to replace Mbappe huh. There will be alot of expectations for him on his first season

From what I could read today:

Quote from: https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1816041129256825139

Napoli are not changing their plans on Romelu Lukaku, after three-year deal agreed they want to proceed as soon as possible.

Victor Osimhen still wants PSG, deal in stand-by as PSG won't pay the clause or include Kang-in Lee in the deal... but Osimhen keeps waiting.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1816041129256825139

Victor Osimhen's situation could become dire for him, I say this because it seems to me that Napoli's management is already starting to dislike Victor Osimhen because he wants to leave the team, so Napoli's management will set a high price and exaggerated conditions and If PSG rejects it and Victor Osimhen stays at Napoli, then Victor Osimhen's brilliant career will begin to fall into disrepair, I think Victor Osimhen should have waited for his contract to end and then leave the team or else he shouldn't have signed a contract. long term if his intention was to leave the team

PSG is negotiating with Benfica and João Neves, knowing that PSG also has some attackers and in Ligue1 they have no opponents, I think they can give up on Victor Osimhen because this decision will not affect PSG, they have money and can hire other good players. I see Victor Osimhen with a greater chance of staying at Napoli next season and his career will decline

Honestly, I'm not sure if Pep Guardiola really wants Olmo. After all, maybe this is just an issue. The problem is, City has not had any contact with RB Leipzig or Olmo's agent. Like the rumors about KDB, there are many who report that he will leave the Etihad Stadium for the Saudi League. There are reports that previously De Byurne said he did not rule out the possibility of ending his tenure with City. However, Pep Guardiola has dismissed this via Fabrizio Romano's tweet. Apart from that, as we often discuss, Kevin De Byurne's role at Manchester City is still very necessary. minimum, one season until the contract ends. Yes, because we haven't heard yet if City are interested in extending his contract. but what is certain is that he is still with City for now. The same thing was implied in Romano's report, previously he reported that KDB would not leave, said Pep Guardiola. I tried to interpret that City still needed Kevin De Bruyne. yeah, before he actually gets the ideal replacement player. Although, City has player options that can be used in the KDB position.

We are having some uncertainty in Manchester City due to few rumours which are spreading quickly in last few days specially regarding their top players which were doing good job for them even we are also having some clarity about this from the Pepe Guardiola but media still creating negativity about these.

Firstly Kevin De Bruyne is not going Saudi League in this season as he is going to complete his contract which is going to end at the end of this season all parties already confirmed about his secondly Ederson is in talk, and we are having no clear update about him even there are news Manchester City management allow him to go for the Al Ittihad which is opportunity and cost is £40 Million so look like we will have all things clear in just few days because now they are looking for possible replacement.

It most likely to happen only if Napoli is keen to accepting 60 millions offer from PSG. I meant Napoli was so greedy as hell by priced Osimhen 120 millions. And im questioning myself, who on earth is willing to pay 120 millions euros for Osimhen. Napoli has definitely lost their sense.

Napoli now has two choices; Firstly, they can sell him to PSG for 60 million, not including Kang-in. I heard that Napoli was interested to request Lee Kang-in to be part of this transfer. Secondly, they can go to the Saudi Pro League, which is offering 100 million for him.

About Arsenal. The club has lost interest in Osimhen due to the absurd valuation by Napoli. The gunner is not keen in reviving their interest toward Osimhen.

`

Kevin De Bruyne is indeed a player who has contributed greatly to Manchester City, but if the team loses Kevin De Bruyne, I don't think it will have too much of an impact on the team's performance because we saw last season when Kevin De Bruyne was injured for a long time, but the Manchester City team's performance remained good. just.

Kevin De Bruyne's performance is still quite good so I doubt that he will go to an uncompetitive league just because of money, maybe in the next 3 or 5 seasons that will happen, for now I don't think so.
Kevin De Bruyne is still playing quite well and there are still quite a lot of top European titles that Kevin De Bruyne can achieve again, so Kevin De Bruyne's career is still quite good, so that can't be replaced with money.

De Bruyne is a world-class player, but Manchester City is bigger. A winning company does that. Great guy and winner Pep Guardiola has constructed a system that feeds on skill, not stars. Barcelona, for example. Guardiola's system survived Messi, a legend. Because the system works. Despite De Bruyne's importance, the machine keeps going.

About Kevin's future. He's smart with the ball and his career. The man realises his worth. He demands fair pay. Its not just about money. Respect matters. The Saudi leagues are no longer a joke. Men at their best are being recruited. Because they're competitive and pay well. New frontier, new task.

You cant blame De Bruyne for considering his options. The goal is to evolve, not to lose ambition. Finding the appropriate professional fit at the right time. Yes, financial security matters. Part of the deal. But Manchester City is a world-class club. With or without De Bruyne, they'll succeed. Winners do that.

Pep Guardiola said there is about an 85, 90, 95% chance that Manchester City will still feature the same squad. He also acknowledged that until the transfer window ends, anything is possible. The chances might be small, but Kevin De Bruyne might still leave Etihad. He had been the leading force behind the success of City and his departure will leave a vacuum that cannot be filled easily. For other Premiership clubs to have hope of dethroning City, de Bruyne would have to leave. I just hope Al Ittihad will give him an offer that will be difficult to resist. We don't want the EPL to be like the French League, we want a new champion this season.

If Kevin De Bruyne leaves then Manchester City's midfield will definitely be a bit problematic because they will lose a midfielder who is able to regulate the rhythm of the game.
Manchester City have some good midfielders but their strength is not much better than Kevin De Bruyne.
But I believe Pep Guardiola always has a way to overcome this and we could see that when Kevin De Bruyne was injured last season.
The big offer made by Al Ittihad is not a measure because the Manchester City owner has unlimited money and wealth.
Kevin De Bruyne's departure will be decided by him and I am sure Manchester City will still need his services next season.

Everything about De Bruyne is a mess. He is more than just a player; he is City's main weapon. The guy has a concept for the field that is pure art. But this talk about Saudi Arabia? It's just noise, man. Pep's refusal is strong; he says it's not true. That's the kind of alpha move that clears things up

And City wouldn't have swung and missed on the Olmo deal if they were scared. They don't hire someone new if they don't think the old one is going. The team knows what De Bruyne can do and has given him another year on his deal. It's not just about sports; it's also about loyalty and goal-setting. Let's enjoy what De Bruyne is doing right now instead of dwelling on rumours. The important thing is that he still has the magic touch

Arsenal management is has started considering signing a striker, they are trying to make move for either Victor Gyokeres, or Victor Osimhen after they signed Riccardo Calafiori; there is no any step back on signing striker because I think if Arsenal started another season without signing a striker, they will not any trophy since they knew that striker was their main problem in the previous seasons.

I know that Arsenal cannot afford to pay that huge amount, but if the two teams can drop some money for Arsenal, I think Arsenal will definately sign either Victor Gyokeres, or Victor Osimhen before the beginning of next season, and if Arsenal achieve that, it will be a great achievement for the team.

Arsenal actually have several center forwards in their current squad, Gabriel Jesus, Niketiah and also Kai Havertz who often played the role of center forward last season, but in fact the three of them have not been able to show a good enough performance in scoring goals, Niketiah and Gabriel are in the position As the main striker, he is often unable to help Arsenal win important matches, Arsenal has found and are just waiting for the time to inaugurate Calafiori as their new defender, of course Arsenal should focus on getting several other new players, including recruiting a center striker to strengthen the line attack next season.

Arsenal previously tried to recruit Osimhen from Napoli, but Napoli fairly expensive asking price made Arsenal choose not to continue negotiations, as well as Arsenal who have long been interested in Viktor Gyokeres but so far they have not made any active moves to recruit thaf the sporting striker, apart from strikers, Arsenal also need to add depth to their current squad and look for the right partner for Declan Rice after Thomas Partey was often injured and Jorginho often appeared inconsistent so far.

Since being brought in by Barcelona as a free agent last season, there has certainly been external temptation for Gundogan to want to leave Barcelona. Even though there was an offer from the Qatari club, Gundogan did not want to accept the offer and chose to stay. This may also be what underlies his thoughts in completing his mission while at Barcelona to win the title considering that last season they failed to become a team.

On the other hand, Gundogan is also not tempted by large sums of money considering that he is the third player at Barcelona who earns the highest salary. Barcelona is also aware that in their midfield they do not have a midfielder as experienced as Gundogan and if he leaves before his contract expires then Barcelona will be in trouble. Not to mention that Pedri and De Jong are still injured, which will mean Barcelona lacks a midfielder for next season.

Yeah, this is correct. IIkay Gundogan has got no such plans to move to the Saudi Arabian premier league during the transfer window. Though, I do feel like he would fetch the club a good sum if he made a move to one of them Saudi Arabian clubs. He has been a great player for Barcelona last season and I'm convinced, he'll be too this season. Asides him in midfied, Frankie De Jong is another player I love that's so solid.

Money is not everything and even if they're open to see players leaving, Ferran Torres, Raphina, Sergio Roberto and Frankie De Jong because he takes too much money to not be consistent.
I know Barcelona owe's him no doubts but they'll need to find players like him leaving so they can raise necessary funds for players.
Real Madrid seems solid ASF, but I do believe that Barcelona can still try to challenge Real Madrid ahead next season.

I still don't have no idea what is with the delay around Victor Oshimes move to Paris Saint Germany.

Not to mention that Pedri and De Jong are still injured, which will mean Barcelona lacks a midfielder for next season.

Gundogan has a contract with Barcelona until 2025, so he will finish this season in Barcelona, and what happens next can be decided based on the team’s results. He will soon be 34 years old, which will be the right age to think about ending his career in Qatar, where he received an offer. Now Flick cannot afford to lose such players, he is expected to have a successful season, and he will need a strong team, for this he needs to keep all the important players. Letting Gundogan go means weakening the middle he also often joins the attack.

Moving to Barcelona from Manchester City, Ilkay Gundogan also partly proved his value. But in the context of a non-veno-positive financial situation, the departure of Ilkay Gundogan may help Barcelona a little, although it cannot be denied that this will affect how the home team plays at Camp Nou. Gundogan is an important part of Xavi's plan, but no one can guarantee he will be part of Flick's plan. It is still possible for Flick to sell him and find another player to replace him. It would be better for Gundogan to think about his future in Qatar.

Understandable, he played for almost 90 minutes on most games and that is pretty good for a 33 years old player. He gets to play in one of the best club in LaLiga and he got decent amount of wages so there is no reason for him to leave the club

Im not even sure how this rumour spread but its just weird for the Saudi clubs to even target him as potential transfer when he is one of the vital player for the club last season. He barely got rotated out from the lineup last season

He is so dependent on Osimhem that the chances of him joining Napoli are very small.
There are no funds available when Osimhem is not bought by another club and I think the option is to play in the Saudi Arabian League.

I am not surprised about Lukaku's situation right now, he is no longer a top striker and Chelsea want to get rid of him as soon as possible. Victor Osimhen to PSG is becoming concrete and we may soon see the deal getting sealed, that is the only way Napoli can be able to fund Lukaku's transfer and sign him from Chelsea.

As for Osimhen, it will be a great move for him to join PSG, they just lost Mbappe to Real Madrid, and Osimhen will be a good addition to the team, he won't be a direct replacement for Mbappe, but he will definitely bolster the team.

We heard rumors that Osimhen would join PSG the season before but this season did not come true. Not only PSG but many top clubs in Europe have shown interest in taking the player but Osimhen's current club could not sell the player to any other club due to their high demand.

Osimhen has set a huge amount of money with his club but no club was willing to buy the player for such a huge amount of money.
However, PSG lost their important striker this season and Osimhen does not have a good relationship with his current club, so it is thought that the contract between PSG and Osimhen may be completed this season. A striker like Osimhen is much needed at the moment for PSG, maybe that's why they are showing so much interest in this player. However, like every time this season, if Napoli does not bring down the market value of this player, the deal with PSG will not be successful this season.

He is not the first player that was underpaid in the history of football, there are other people better than him earnimg less but they don't have the opportunity to show their true color due to the leagues and clubs they are signed to play and there are some payers that are not putting more effort than him and they are making money than him but that's football, as long as you have a contract signed and seal, that's already done deal unless the club is ready to listen to your negotiations.

It's not if he leaves Manchester City the club wouldn't progress, they might think the progress of the club is because they are there but Manchester City wasn't the way it's before, somebody made it looks good and that's Guardiola hand work and he has done it before in other places Like Barcelona. If Kevin choose to live, he will be miss but wouldn't affect Manchester City future.

I think football entirely is just becoming a thing of monetizing this period and that’s why players demand for ridiculous amounts but if you ask me I will say I don’t blame them much because of the revenues that the clubs also generates with them. The question is, if De Bruyne is actually underpaid and I will say in terms of the Premier League he is not underpaid, since he signed a new contract around 2021 or so he became the premier highest paid player uptill now with the wage been at £400k per week which was estimated to be £20.8M annually. So that’s not a bad offer but if we look at the amount been offered him by the Saudi clubs which was rumored to be above £1M per year you wouldn’t blame him much for looking at that direction.

The rumors are just speculations nothing concrete, he is not looking to leave but definitely hasn’t ruled out the move. But even if you do city will still cope but I tell you he will be heavily missed because right now there is no player better than him in his position, so anyone coming to fill the void will find it wide to easily occupy and that’s why you see the club not taking chance with him at the moment

After what Pep Guardiola confirmed, all the rumors died down. Kevin De Bruyne will remain with Manchester City, but that doesn't mean that Kevin De Bruyne is satisfied because what is bothering him is the issue of salary. As an important player, it is very natural that he wants a salary increase. Manchester City must be able to fulfill their wishes if they want to see Kevin De Bruyne play with all his heart. It's not all about loyalty, but any player still has to prioritize his salary to provide peace of mind. Whether competitive or not, comes back to the question of quality. So there is no definite benchmark regarding competition if you look at the number of existing star players. Remember, Kevin De Bruyne desire to go to Saudi Arabia also means he finds the competition there interesting and the salary commensurate.

He is not the first player that was underpaid in the history of football, there are other people better than him earnimg less but they don't have the opportunity to show their true color due to the leagues and clubs they are signed to play and there are some payers that are not putting more effort than him and they are making money than him but that's football, as long as you have a contract signed and seal, that's already done deal unless the club is ready to listen to your negotiations.

If that happens and Liverpool really wants Takefusa Kubo from Real Sociedad to bring him to Anfield, I will be very happy and looking forward to that happening, and the rumors I read are that Liverpool will have to spend a very high amount of money if that deal happens. Takefusa Kubo is a good player and he is still very young, with the talent he has Liverpool can maximize and use it well,

And if this really happens, Takefusa Kubo will adapt well considering that he has a compatriot at Liverpool, namely Wataru Endo, who he can take advantage of. What is clear is that this is Arne Slot's first recruitment after becoming Liverpool coach, if it is true the deal will happen and it is not just a rumor

That could actually be a good replacement for Salah without a doubt. He is not as good as Salah compared to their peaks, but he could be better than Salah right now, or at least in a year or so. They should definitely consider this deal, could be something that they can benefit without a doubt.

I think the most important part of this situation is that he is only 23 years old, which means that if they buy him now, they can play him for another decade, and when you find players like that, you should try to get them for whatever price you can. He isn't going to be cheap though, and if the offer comes from Liverpool, they will definitely would want some extra premium on it, and that is why I think something like 70-80 is possible, or at least that is what Sociedad would aim at, that would be their hope. If they get Kubo somehow, Slot would have a good first year, they will have a good rebuilding phase, and they should be capable of doing fine on the long run too.

Not saying they will win the title, but they won't get too far away from it neither, and that's what matters for a new manager. With City and Arsenal fighting for top spot, if they can finish third that would be good enough.

As confirmed by Pe Guardiola himself regarding De Bruyne. This has also confirmed that De Bruyne will still be needed in Man City's main squad. Because it is very difficult to find players who can match De Bruyne's current level. Even last season, after De Bruyne recovered from injury, we immediately saw Man City rise again and become a team that scored a lot of goals again. And in fact, when De Bruyne was absent due to injury, we saw that Man City had quite a hard time winning with lots of goals. but with the presence of De Bruyne, Man City was able to win again with lots of goals. De Bruyne has always been the player who best understands how to move the ball to score a goal. He is always able to make quality passes and produce quality assists.

Arsenal has reached an agreement with Bologna and in the near time Calafiori will soon undergo a medical test at Arsenal, the negotiations that took place between Bologna and Arsenal were very tough and the two parties almost did not find an agreement after not finding a suitable price from both teams, after reading several articles about the Calafiori transfer, I just understood why Bologna set the selling price for Calafiori too high because It turns out there is a lot of fees (40%) that they have to pay to Basel at this time, Not only that, the transfer got even more complicated when Roma also asked for a share of almost 9 million euros from Basel because Calafiori is a Roma academy player who was sold to Basel in 2022, but apart from that, of course Arsenal were very lucky to be able to get Calafiori and he will be able to form a strong and solid duo with Saliba or Timber in the next seasons, apart from being capable as a centre-back of course arteta has plenty of options to play him at left-back next season if the kiwior is sold or Zinchenko is injured or absent.

It looks like Arsenal setting themselves for another near success story next season. They have a striking problem. They need to sign a goal scoring center-forward as soon as possible if they want a chance to get the Premier League title at the expense of Manchester City. With Victor Osimhen out of the transfer discussion, Mikel Arteta needs to find another player to fill the position. They can’t just rely on Kai Havertz, Saka and Gabriel Jesus to make it work. Arsenal seem too relaxed for a team who is competing against arguably the best side in all of Europe.

Since being brought in by Barcelona as a free agent last season, there has certainly been external temptation for Gundogan to want to leave Barcelona. Even though there was an offer from the Qatari club, Gundogan did not want to accept the offer and chose to stay. This may also be what underlies his thoughts in completing his mission while at Barcelona to win the title considering that last season they failed to become a team.

On the other hand, Gundogan is also not tempted by large sums of money considering that he is the third player at Barcelona who earns the highest salary. Barcelona is also aware that in their midfield they do not have a midfielder as experienced as Gundogan and if he leaves before his contract expires then Barcelona will be in trouble. Not to mention that Pedri and De Jong are still injured, which will mean Barcelona lacks a midfielder for next season.

Gundogan has a contract with Barcelona until 2025, so he will finish this season in Barcelona, and what happens next can be decided based on the team’s results. He will soon be 34 years old, which will be the right age to think about ending his career in Qatar, where he received an offer. Now Flick cannot afford to lose such players, he is expected to have a successful season, and he will need a strong team, for this he needs to keep all the important players. Letting Gundogan go means weakening the middle he also often joins the attack.

Kevin De Bruyne is indeed a player who has contributed greatly to Manchester City, but if the team loses Kevin De Bruyne, I don't think it will have too much of an impact on the team's performance because we saw last season when Kevin De Bruyne was injured for a long time, but the Manchester City team's performance remained good. just.

Kevin De Bruyne's performance is still quite good so I doubt that he will go to an uncompetitive league just because of money, maybe in the next 3 or 5 seasons that will happen, for now I don't think so.

After what Pep Guardiola confirmed, all the rumors died down. Kevin De Bruyne will remain with Manchester City, but that doesn't mean that Kevin De Bruyne is satisfied because what is bothering him is the issue of salary. As an important player, it is very natural that he wants a salary increase. Manchester City must be able to fulfill their wishes if they want to see Kevin De Bruyne play with all his heart. It's not all about loyalty, but any player still has to prioritize his salary to provide peace of mind. Whether competitive or not, comes back to the question of quality. So there is no definite benchmark regarding competition if you look at the number of existing star players. Remember, Kevin De Bruyne desire to go to Saudi Arabia also means he finds the competition there interesting and the salary commensurate.
