It is becoming out of control this whole Osimhen transfer business. Fake news everywhere, people making mountains out of molehills. Napoli wants top dollar for him, €130 million, and you know what? He is well worth the investment. That man is a goal-scoring machine.

Osimhen's recent decline in performance is now being blamed by some on the new coach. Please give me a break. It is a group sport, not a solo performance. Osimhen has to elevate his game, even though Spalletti was excellent. Superstars perform when it counts, and he is one.

Let us thus cut the babble and concentrate on the facts. I for one am eager to see where Osimhen ends up because this transfer odyssey is far from over. Its gonna be huge.

his decision came long before they won the last UCL and from all indication, if he had still played at real Madrid for an additional year or two, hw would have still remained Relevant in the space of football. Observing his play at Germany and the extent to which he outplays even younger players that are at thier prime, it's going to be deficult to accept that we will be seeing him for the last time when they lift the Euros, that's if they will get to the finals. It was a thing of joy for me when he retired at Madrid and played his last match for the team leading them to win the trophy. That's the sweetest way to say goodbye to a club you've given so much for and for his dear country Germany, winning this Euros would be the happiest moment for him and it's now going to be more difficult since they have to play through Spain if they have any possibility of winning it.

Seeing Toni Kroos retirement decision, it makes perfect sense that he wants to focus on continuing his program at the children's football academy that has been built. And decided to retire at the right moment when the club he was playing for managed to lift the UCL trophy. Toni Kroos wants to end his career on a sweet note, if you look at several players who in their old age still continue to play for local clubs that are not yet well known, don't contribute much and sometimes even trigger negative criticism. Instead of getting his signature to give additional strength to the club, it exceeded expectations. So, this is where Toni Kroos doesn't want to suffer the same fate that befell a player who was once a star but didn't get an award at his last club.

The market value of a player depends on how much he contributes to the club, Osimhen value soared when he succeeded in bringing Napoli to the Scudetto, he became one of the key players in this success. He managed to maintain his performance and produce very good goal productivity. Now that Napoli are starting to lose momentum, the effect will rub off on their players.
Napoli goal productivity has decreased much more than before, as a result of Napoli blunt attack line, Osimhen selling value has decreased. The high price charged by Napoli seems to indicate that they want to complicate the Osimhen transfer process. Napoli must think objectively about the drama they are playing, perhaps the experience that PSG experienced when Mbappe left will have an impact on Napoli.

The value is still the same which means Osimhen will still be worth at least 100 million if any club is interested in bringing him in. Although indeed looking in terms of the situation and the performance shown by Osimhen this season is not too smooth as he showed last season but he still has quite good potential because in the end the performance he gave this season which was not too good was the impact of internal problems and injuries he suffered which made his condition impossible to get a good performance.

This season Osimhen actually seems to have a lot of drama compared to the good performance he showed but for the price and move issue I think it will still be the same where Napoli definitely do not want to lose their star player at a normal price because it is a sure thing in business.

Despite the high amount of money requested by Napoli so teams are still willing to sogn him no matter what, teams like PSG are seriously interested in him but Napoli don’t seem to be serious to see him leaving.

€130 Million is a huge amount of money that justifies Osimhen’s value but Napoli are still demanding more, i just think they are not ready to sell him that’s why they are doing all this. I don’t know how legis this news is but it is now based on release clause. Osimhen release clause is worth around 120 million and if PSG is able to pay that amount Napoli will have no choice but to release him.

I wouldn’t say his performance dropped but the entire team performance dropped and it must have affected him as well as other players too. Spalletti departure did have a negative effect on the team and that’s why the whole team suffered.

I no longer understand Napoli desire to continue to set a high price for Osimhen whose productivity is decreasing. In my opinion, Napoli have gone too far just because last season they still thought he was a great player, but this season that argument no longer applies. If Napoli want to keep the price above €130 million hopefully no club will want to pay that. Dealing with PSG willingness to pay is their business but again there is no guarantee of a profit after buying him. Remember Napoli will have a much worse season, Conte is not a coach who is easy to understand and easy to control. His stubborn nature will definitely make Napoli regret recruiting him as coach. This situation is also a form of karma for Osimhen, who last season disappointed many clubs because he was rejected.

We think €100 million for Osimen is too much considering how his current club is demanding €130 million plus for his transfer. He is a good player and he can play a good role for the team to win that's why his price is ok at 100 million or below but 130 million money, if you look at the money, the amount of money is almost like a mountain. PSG are rich financially but they will never sign this player for 100 million plus euros. If Napoli really want to sell him, they will have to bring his price down so much that Europe's biggest clubs are interested in signing him.

Finding young players it's a building a team for the long term, but given how often coaches change at Chelsea, I can confidently say that Maresca does not have much time at Chelsea, he will either achieve quick results or leave this team. Chelsea's transfer policy in recent years looks very weak, the only one who didn't make more than one mistake with transfers was Pochettino, but he is no longer there and therefore they can continue to do stupid things, although for Chelsea 22 million is not that much money, so they allow it.

Maybe he is trying to turn Chelsea into a team like Arsenal as they are also a very young team. However I can agree about the amount spent on these players. They should bargain harder for this kind of not much known players.

They can take teams like Dortmund as an example about that. I really like Dortmund in this way. They are bringing young talents for cheap fees and selling them with insane profits.    I know Boehly is rich but this shouldn't mean he can spend a crazy amount every season. This would affect team finances badly in the long term. 

I don't understand what exactly inside of Enzo Maresca's head, he let Ian Maatsen and Ziyech to leave, but he sign overpriced unknown player. Omari Kellyman's market value is 1.5 Million Euros, but Chelsea spend 22.5 Million Euros to get him, it's crazy.

I feel like Maresca is nothing different with Graham Potter, he kicked out veteran players and choose to sign very young players.

In conclusion, the problem currently facing Chelsea is not related to the price of Osimhen, etc., but Chelsea has received a warning from FFP and this has caused confusion when Chelsea will spend large amounts of money. And from what I have said here, it has actually been said by other people that Chelsea problems are so serious that they continue to propose negotiations with Osimhen management to reduce the price under €100m.

"Chelsea warned by Premier League over FFP ‘loophole’ as transfer hurdle emerges"

I'm not sure if anyone has previously provided this source but maybe this is just one illustration that Chelsea will continue to try to get Osimhen and maybe one way is to just exchange Lukaku for Osimhen and Chelsea only pay the remainder of the deal, as we discussed previously.

Prove what again? To who? Those who do not see his qualities are not just donkeys but also blind ( It's either they lack knowledge of football or has got no idea about managing a club.... I guess they see him as a magician to come do signs and wonders lmfao). Most of these days football fans, I wonder how they watch and analyse football. Must he be Pep Guardiola? Erik Ten Hag already got a three year deal to be signed in a couple few weeks ahead.

People would think that the little things do not matter, but I say, less is more truthful. Two defenders if they can get em wouldn't be bad idea and also I'd love a new left fullback despite having Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia ( Can they introduce Harry Amas already from the academy? ) This support would go a long way, I can remember his first season and all he did when he never had this support, now having this support ans backing is already enough, I don't see Manchester United finishing below top three next season. Good he has enough time for pre-season as well.

Yes he's got experience, but he behaves like a bloody kindergarten student. Doesn't know when to dribble, when to pass and also when to shoot. Marcus Rashford should be making in run to score but you'd see him on the touch line waiting for Bruno Fernandez to pass him the ball. Bloody Hell!!

I do not think Erling Haaland would have scored so much goals if he never made those in runs. Garnacho's did better than him last season on both side of the wings but Rashford would say he is not comfortable here and here. ( T's disgusting seeing him give bloody excuses and when you take a good look at what he earns weekly, Jesus Christ! Lad should be giving Manchester United 40+ ( Plus ) goals a season.

It is completely incorrect, and PSG never stated that they were willing to pay 130 million for Osimhen; rather, it was the asking price offered by Napoli to any team interested in acquiring him from Partenopei. Napoli never said they wanted 150 million for him. Saudi Arabia had never made such a large offer to Napoli. 
I believe you should check the information again. Enrique has stated that he would prefer to buy Rodrygo from Real Madrid with such large sums of money rather than Osimhen. Osimhen's price will drop even further. 

I tell you that the only team to ever send an official offer was Newcastle, and PSG had never done so before. 

Well, Philippe Coutinho's story serves as a clear reminder of the unpredictability of football, where a player's fortunes can change unexpectedly. Coutinho returned to the Premier League with Villa but ultimately failed despite a bright start. Coutinho's career is fading. Even when he left Europe to play in Asia, the Brazilian midfielder could not save the situation. In Qatar, Coutinho started 6 matches in the national championship, and played a total of 419 minutes, scoring 2 goals. The influence Coutinho created is insignificant compared to Al Duhail's achievements.

Coutinho's time appears to be running out and a summer exit could be best for both sides if an agreement is reached. Through that, I don't know where Coutinho will go. I don't think he will return to Brazil, he can go to Inter Miami, and he can reunite with his old Barca teammates like Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Luis Suarez.

Toni Kroos is without doubt one of best midfielders of his generation and I totally understand why football fans across the globe are begging for him to continue playing professional football for a longer time but the truth is that we're not going to see Toni Kroos play professional football after the ongoing UEFA Euros Championship because the Germany international have deemed it necessary to quit football at this time of his career. Unlike other footballers who would want to play till the later 30s or 40s, Toni Kroos have publicly said that he doesn't want to remain in the game till when he can't deliver quality football again.
I'm a Real Madrid fan and as such, I'll would've love to see Kroos play for few more seasons but since he wants to leave the stage now that the ovation is still high, we've got to respect his decision and allow him retire from football

The price of Osimhen has decreased. If you take a look carefully, his previous market value was €120m, it is only €100m now. I think the price of Osimhen can increase again if Napoli can perform better in the next season. I assume, Napoli can finish in UCL zone under Conte's management.

After Spalletti left Napoli, Napoli never played with their best level again. Only Spalletti who knows well how to manage Napoli players. It may be caused the squad of Napoli was built by Spalletti, so it is developed around his tactics. The new coach of Napoli may need to adjust their tactics with the capability of Napoli current players. Antonio Conte must be aware with the capability of Napoli current squad, he mustn't be egoistic to apply the tactics.

Chelsea is the most club that is very serious to sign Osimhen. But I don't think it is a good idea if Osimhen joins Chelsea because Chelsea is just an average team now. If Osimhen wants to win trophies, he is better to move to PSG. PSG also wants to sign him with high fees, but their offer is still rejected by Napoli management. If Osimhen really wants to join PSG, Napoli management may consider to decrease the transfer fees with certain agreements.

There are many players who have the same fate as Coutinho, who failed to adapt to a new club even though they were in their golden age. Like Hazard who left for Madrid, I think these two players both failed to live up to expectations, even though they were recruited at very expensive prices and received high salaries. I think the impact of Coutinho recruitment is still felt today, Barcelona is still struggling with a financial crisis due to several failed transfers.

I am very curious why Coutinho didn't just move to the Saudi League, and preferred to return to Brazil. He is still very young, he can still play for the next two or three seasons. His loan spell in the Qatar League also didn't seem to go smoothly, and in the end Aston Villa had to be willing to let him go to Vasco Dagama. Klopp once asked Coutinho to stay at Liverpool, unfortunately Coutinho chose to leave for Barcelona.

Very correct, Coutinho's career is over and it ended a long time ago, he has just been going on loan to different clubs in the last few years and now going back to Brazil, it is all but over for him. In hindsight we can talk about regrets of leaving Liverpool, but let us remember that he left for Barcelona for a huge sum of money, and that ordinarily should have taken his career to the next level, but it wasn't to be, i am sure even he cannot wait to retire right now.

You're right, I just hope that we continue to see the brilliance of his game, because a player like him is not worth retiring, he would do so too young. Sometimes in Spanish football they are very radical about the issue of age, they are already 25-27 Years old and they tell them that they are already old and no, as long as they perform adequately, I think they can continue to make a difference, There are many clear examples, Buffon, CR7, Modric, so I think that in Spanish football they denigrate a lot the good players, that is something that will always be true, except for Arab football, German football, where I have seen that they give them their Importance.
