Even if it is not official yet from clubs, Thuram is now a Juventus' player.
The deal done has been announced by the top tier for reliability journalist, including Fabrizio Romano.

25m and 2.5m salary for him.

So far PSG have not made a decision or made an official offer to secure Osimhen's services, and even several Premier League clubs who were linked have not made an official offer. The reason is, it seems that bringing in this striker from Nigeria is too expensive, not to mention his salary. In other news, Victor Osimhen is expected to start pre-season with Napoli next week because no club has submitted a concrete offer for the Nigerian international player. therefore, Napoli coach Antonio Conte is likely to meet Osimhen at Castel Volturno next week.

After all, Paris Saint-Germain is apparently more interested in Osimhen's teammate, Khvicha Kvaratskheila. Well, maybe because Osimhen is more interested in leaving for the Premier League. If in the end no official offer is submitted to Napoli, that means Osimhen will remain in the Serie A competition. Unless Napoli is willing to reduce the transfer value for Osimhen. Thus, maybe there is a Premier League club who is serious about bringing him. for example, Arsenal had intentions for this Nigerian international striker. Well, if in the end Osimhen stays at Napoli, Conte will automatically use his services. because after all, Osimhen is one of the top strikers who can be relied on heavily on the front lines, Conte just has to formulate a formula for his team's squad regardless of the players he wants to bring in or his disputes with the clubs he previously managed.

I was quite surprised by Fabrizio Romano's tweet about Willhoft-King. The Tottenham U19 player is rumored to be of interest to Man City. I am monitoring Willhoft-King because he has my country's blood. It is said that the Indonesian Federation is monitoring this player to join the Indonesian national team. But it seems that he is not willing to join, because he seems to have the ability to develop and hopes to join a better England national team.

If Osimhen really likes competition, why last season did he reject many offers from European clubs? especially Chelsea but Osimhen chose to stay. Now like it or not imo the most sensible option is to take PSG offer, staying at Napoli doesn't guarantee that you will get enough playing time. What is clear is that Osimhen needs to get out of his comfort zone and challenge himself to prove that the price tag above 100 million Euros is worth it. PSG is the only club that is ready to provide guarantees for the main squad, at least PSG will return to the UCL in a different format.

When money starts talking, player loyalty will start to waver. Osimhen attitude in wanting to move from Napoli is very realistic, as a player he certainly wants to play for a bigger club and his desire to get a bigger salary cannot be denied. PSG is busy looking for a suitable replacement to replace Mbappe who moved to Real Madrid, of course Osimhen will not waste this opportunity to look for a new challenge with a club that can guarantee him winning the domestic league trophy.

The change of coach factor could also be the reason he wants to move, Conte is a bit temperamental in handling the team, he often clashes with the players if the team he manages achieves results that do not match his expectations. Osimhen, who sees the opportunity to move to another club, will try to take advantage of this opportunity to leave Napoli, who is now managed by Conte. Together with Luis Enrique, he can develop much more because he is a coach who is very familiar with his players.

By that time, it’ll be too late to bring back Pochettino because the worse would have been done and reviving a team like that will take longer time than what he has already done before and was scattered by another coach. I know a team like Chelsea won’t have problems signing new players from Leicester City on the instruction on Enzo Maresca, but he must give them what they want at the end of the season, or he’ll face sack at the end of the season.

It is better he build on the players that are in Chelsea now, I don’t know how his strategy is compared to that of Pochettino, but if can continue on that path, it’ll make his work easier and not looking for some loop holes to fill back which we didn’t found in the team at the end of the season. A struggling team becoming that great witching one year under the management of a coach is not supposed to be sacked all of a sudden. That’s a sign of good prospects for the team, but now they’re back to square one. Let’s wait to see what Enzo Maresca can do for the team by next season.

Napoli having strong case in last season while things were all as they needed, but they wait for another season which is now having problems for them with currently situation is not good for the transfer of Victor Osimhen, but he is insisting which is surely not good deal for the Napoli because they are having price tag of €150 Million and no club is going above €100 Million which is surely huge lost for them, and they are not ready for this with new coach Conte is also having high targets, and he is working on to have all top players available for the next season which will surely give them good results.

Few Premier League clubs are interested, but they are looking for their own price which are surely not acceptable for the Napoli, but things will go to take change in coming days because now we have Euro 2024 which is near the end so after this we will have good things to be happened around transfer window.

The sale of Osimhen is one of the solutions for Napoli to smooth their steps to have enough funds in the transfer market later, currently Osimhen has been designated as one of the players who will indeed be released by Napoli, but the expensive price is actually an obstacle for Osimhen to move to another club at this time even though he really wants to get out of Napoli at this time,  according to a tweet posted by Fabrizio Romano some time ago saying that if Osimhen does not rule out the possibility of moving to the Premier League, Arsenal is currently the leading one who does want to recruit Osimhen but Napoli is still waiting for an offer that suits their desire to come at this time.

PSG did target Osimhen previously as a replacement for Mbappe and of course the quality and ability possessed by Osimhen will be in accordance with what PSG wants, but for now PSG seems to be starting to no longer be interested in bringing in Osimhen even though PSG is a rich team but I think they also act realistically in buying and paying players,  Moreover, PSG is currently of course keeping their finances stable to avoid financial fair cases that often destroy the rich team.

I think he was actually talking more about a move to Real Madrid than Manchester United. Personally, I rate the player so much, he is hardworking and also a team player one can rely onto, you would see him doing both defending duties and attacking duties very well. Antonio Conte must have taken a look at his previous season and impacts, I would love to see both Khivicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Oshime working together again under Antonio Conte next season.
The club flopped not because of the players but because of the too many inept managers brought in to manage the club last season.

Despite Injury, the teammates lacked togetherness the way it was under Spalletti as they refuse passing and playing Victor Oshime the ball, he is not a miracle worker, a striker is suppose to get the services of midfielder's and wingers otherwise he'll under perform. Don't forget he also left for the African Cup of Nations Competitions. The poor season affected every single player in that club. Before or now, Saudi Arabian Premier League Competition is not a place for such a high quality player should go. He is not after money, hebakso wants to win the Champions League Competition and more individual awards.



He got good results with those players during his first season, yes? Put some respect on his name. Erik Ten Hag is much different from Mauricio Pochetino, you don't have to compare them.
Also, I don't find what you wrote valid,  We don't know what will happen with Enzo Marasca, I don't see Chelsea bringing in Pochetino when he's already left the club.

K Thuram is basically a deal done and it can be announce anytime now, even today.
Same destiny for Kean to Florentina.

Rabiot at this point is already gone as free agent, Mancehster United and Milan are interested in him.

Looking at Barcelona's record in transfers, there are actually many opportunities for them to change their financial condition, such as when last season the interest in Gavi and De Jong was very large, which would definitely make them profitable if they released these players but in the end they stayed because Barcelona knew that when they released their core players to leave, the club's condition was difficult to stabilize.

But that was the situation in the past where Xavi was in charge and it will definitely be different with Flick. It's just that on the one hand to now let go of Lamine Yamal is very risky for a decline in performance.
Currently, Lamine Yamal's performance is still very good and he is one of the players who can bring Barcelona out of their slump but with the difficult conditions in terms of finance, everything can still happen. So surely with this they will take actions that they think are not too detrimental both in terms of performance and in terms of the finances they are currently facing.

Except Arsenal might want to pay around 100million euros for him I don`t Napoli will be willing to sell while Chelsea as almost drop all their interest in him not mainly because of his price tag but mainly because of his injury record while the Lukaku swap deal might tempt them but the fee Napoli will require them to add will be a discouragement and I don`t think Chelsea will be too pressure to listen to their offer because other team are still looking for Lukaku service.

Chelsea don`t need another injury prune player we have enough already in our book notably Nkunku and James who ought to be among our attacking prowess were at the sideline mostly because of Injuries.


I guess selling Yamal will really change their financial record for the better but is it worth it. To be frank if barca sells Yamal now or clear their financial debt they won`t bbe able to compete against Real Madrid this season but one thing is sure is that they can still make it to top 4 even without spending too much because if they could do it last season with Xavi where majority of their key players where injured then they will even do it this year though they  have to prioritize getting more players to shuffle their squad in order to avoid injuries from over stressing players, than getting players who will cost a lot.

On which conditions Xavi lost his job and now Flick is going to start his new job it's all clear with Barcelona is surely struggling with recently we have good things as well if they are able to have record-breaking deal about Yamal then surely their problems can be having huge cut which is also good for them in La Liga and their future could be also had positive stance about this, but first they need to look how they will be doing this all because now La Liga is having more challenges for them with their squad is not competitive as we have Real Madrid.

But, if they have some good amount of money then surely they can go through for the new players which will be surely given them better results and improved performance which is important for them but if they fail to have required changes then most chances we will have another problematic season for them which will surely hurt them badly.

The Osimhen transfer will create significant funds for Napoli. If he is to leave the team, his income must be at least 100 million Euros. There are few teams in the world that can offer this (I don't count the Saudis ) That's why one of the few alternatives is Paris SG. If I were him, I would go to League 1, PSG, thinking that it would be better statistically, but I know that he loves competition and I think Osimhen will choose the Premier League. It is a pleasure to watch the Nigerian. I think he would fit in better with those great players.

It's true that Osimhen wants to leave Napoli, which is a bit of a surprise because I thought he would like to be part of Napoli under Conte. But there are several important points here:

The first is that PSG is looking for a replacement for Mbappe and I think that Osimhen has hopes that PSG may be interested in him. In addition, Napoli want to get 120 million for him, this is a lot and perhaps PSG is one of the few teams that will be willing to pay that kind of money.

The second thing is that, as history shows, Conte does not stay long in teams, he often has disagreements with clubs, he requires a lot of funding to strengthen the team, and does not always get it, so he leaves. Perhaps Osimhen, realizing all this, does not want to stay in Napoli.

Currently Osimhen has indeed asked Napoli to sell him and Napoli who currently needs a lot of money to support Conte of course does not mind selling Osimhen if there is indeed a team that wants to buy him above the price of 120 million euros, but so far the big European team is reportedly starting to withdraw after Napoli priced Osimhen at a high price,  Napoli is currently no longer prioritizing to keep Osimhen at the club not because he has experienced a decline in performance, but because Conte is more inclined to be interested in other strikers who are indeed asked to be bought immediately by Napoli, Lukaku is one of the priorities that Conte wants to bring in next season to become Napoli main striker.

One of the clubs that really wants Osimhen at the moment is Arsenal and Chelsea, but Chelsea rejected an offer from Napoli to exchange players between Lukaku and osimhen because in addition to asking for Lukaku, napoli also asked for a considerable amount of money as a requirement, so indeed Arsenal is a strong candidate to get Osimhen, but reportedly currently Arsenal is asking Napoli to lower the selling price of Osimhen so that it can be completed Deal.

Yes, you are actually right about this two players, they are less important to their respective club and if you look at them again, though they are top quality for Barcelona football club, but to Atletico madrid and Manchester city they are not up to the required standard needed to be playing regularly week in week out.

And talking about the ability of Barcelona retaining their services, just as you rightfully said, financially it's very much unlikely that they can sign them on a permanent basis due to financial troubles, and I also don't think Manchester city and atletico madrid would want a loan deal again, they might prefer a straight forward sale, than sending them out on loan again, now that their value is still high.

Lastly, I am still really surprised by the financial status of a world class club like Barcelona, how do they even got to this point? Their are so many questions that need an answer from the hierarchy of Barcelona or even the past administrators, because it's no longer funny.

In my opinion, these two players are actually still far from Barcelona's expectations, but after all they have done their best and I doubt that Barcelona will borrow them again, let alone make them permanent because Barcelona has not been able to escape financial problems.
So I think Barcelona will try to borrow other players or look for players. who has free transfer status to bring him to the club and hopes that the player can give more positive results, but I don't think it's easy for the club because Barcelona's current condition will make the players think long and hard about playing with the club, even though Barcelona is an elite club in La Liga. .

Regarding the fate of these two players, it looks like they will be returned to their respective clubs.
I think Barcelona has enough cooperation with them and it looks like these two players will again sit on the bench or if a club makes an offer to them. I think the club will easily let them go because they are not really used in their respective clubs.

It would be better if he go to Saudi Arabia, no one gonna watch Qatar Stars League, his career will end and he's not making a lot money by playing with this team.

Pretty much like Ten Hag, he kicked many of Manchester United's players and replace them with the players that he trained before. Maresca will ruin Chelsea, the fans will force the team to sack Maresca and sign back Pochetttino, then Pochettino need to work twice to build it back.

This is condition that will really make it difficult for Leicester City next season when they have to compete in the fierce Premier League competition, just imagine team like Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and several other teams like Tottenham and Aston Villa will definitely make it difficult for Leicester to win.
In addition, the major overhaul carried out by Chelsea and Manchester United by bringing in quite lot of great players has made the Premier League even more attractive and difficult for several newly promoted team to get.
Even though Leicester City brought in several other players as replacements, there is no guarantee that they will perform well because changes in playing style and playing strategy with new coach or several new players will definitely occur.

Haha, this is exactly the same as what Enzo Maresca said, he wants to have several important pillar players in Leicester City strength to join Chelsea.
But this is football, team that have more money and have stronger support will be able to more easily get whatever they want, including the coach and players they want.
