I am very happy to hear the news that Arsenal is interested in having a pure striker next season, because that is the only thing Arteta has always been unable to fulfill to match Man City in the standings. Overall, Arsenal already has a capable squad, but without a pure striker who is hungry for goals, many people think they will never be able to surpass Man City. If it is true that Arsenal are targeting Osimhen then this is the right moment. The reason is that Osimhen seems to no longer be expected at Napoli, after Conte became coach and with Osimhen incompatibility with Conte, his chances of leaving Napoli this season are getting bigger. Initially Chelsea was considered closer to bringing in Osimhen, many factors supported it. Chelsea has been Osimhen favorite team since childhood, so the Blues should not stop pursuing this player.
Somehow I'm not sure if Osimhen should move to Arsenal first, apart from expensive transfer fees and Napoli also wants to compete at the top of the Serie A standings again so releasing Osimhen would mean canceling their plans as we know Osimhen is their mainstay player in the attack line, I doubt this rumor is true. If Arsenal are really looking for a pure striker they will have to look for other alternatives there are still several players who are on the top scorer list.
Indeed, recently I heard that Arsenal is intensively looking for players in several positions and they have prepared a sufficient budget while also confirming that Arsenal is really aiming for the title next season, we know that in the last 2 seasons Arsenal has always been unable to compete with Manchester City. Will Arsenal destroy Manchester City next season?
Guardiola is not going to leave City this season, apparently due to the fact that his contract with City expires next season, rumors began to circulate that he might leave the team, but this could only happen next summer. He also mentioned at the Catalan golf tournament that he has no plans to return to Barcelona, that's all we know about his future career. Should he look for some other team? He has an excellent team, perhaps one of the strongest in the world, an excellent salary, except that he would like to change something in his life, but we know nothing about it.
It's true of course that Pep Guardiola won't be going anywhere this season and until his contract expires next season. But I'm not sure whether Pep will want to extend his contract there or not. Because Pep actually always produces good results for every club he coaches. And then he would leave after the club he coached won several championships. And Pep has got almost everything with Manchester City. So perhaps the only reason Pep wants to leave is because he wants another challenge at another club. And yeah I also think it's impossible for Pep to go to Barcelona. 
However, in fact the news that has just come out is that Fabrizio Romano Sesko will stay at RB Leipzig, a striker from Slovenia who has great talent and is in demand by Chelsea and Arsenal, he will officially stay at RB Leipzig to develop his game there, Sesko doesn't seem to be in a rush to develop his talent at a big club, he looked very comfortable when there were offers from Arsenal and Chelsea to take him to the Premier League, now Chelsea Arsenal will turn to another striker to sharpen his weapons next season.
Osimhen Straiker, who is in extraordinary form, of course, with Sesko staying, will be Arsenal's choice to sharpen their front line next season with Osimhen, because Chelsea have withdrawn from pursuing Osimhen, but I am also not sure that Arsenal will target Osimhen in this transfer window because of Osimhen's price which is very expensive, making Arsenal withdraw from the hunt for Osimhen, but Osimhen himself really wants to play in the Premier League but there are no open offers for him from Premier League clubs, but everything is still uncertain because there will be many surprises in the transfer market this time, I'll just wait who who will become Chelsea and Arsenal's new striker next season.

Pep Guardiola took over Manchester City from Barcelona and taking charge of Manchester City was a challenge for him and he succeeded in accepting that challenge. The manager joined Manchester City on a long-term plan and has won several titles with Manchester City. Before the transfer market opened, there were rumors that the manager would leave Manchester City and take charge of a new team. He may not take charge of the parties he took charge of again. He will take charge of a team that is in good financial shape and has yet to win any titles. If so, where is his next destination going to be?
Manchester United could try to sign him as well as Chelsea could try to sign him now the decision is in his hands, will he leave Manchester City or take up a new challenge.

Pep Guardiola is an intelligent coach who have been successful in the big teams he has managed during his managerial career which includes Barcelona, Bayern Munich and now Manchester city so he is a coach that prefers showcasing his managerial skills with different clubs so I don't see any possibility of him going back to coach Barcelona or any other team he has managed previously after his contract ends with Manchester City in 2026.

I think he might want to go to Saudi if he is given an offer because their price must be tempting for any coach that they go for. It is certain that Pep will still be the manager of City next season, and there was no rumor that he is leaving now. Next season might be his last in City and that is why you see that people are saying that if he leaves City might start having good performance challenges.

Glad to see the Blues made the right decision in dropping their interest in acquiring Osimhen from Napoli. I really appreciate that. Based on his performance this season, osimhen is extremely erratic following the decline of his performance after napoli won serie a in the previous season. Osimhen will be another Nkuku. I'd rather pick Sesko instead of Osimhen. Some disadvantages of targeting osimhen.
- Expensive - Inconsistent - High risk of injury
The blues could have learned a lot from what happened to the nkuku. Nkuku appeared in a few games, although he was injured for much the entire season. It would be extremely stupid for Chelsea to make the same error again.
The fact that Osimhen is prone to injury is the most essential factor here. Chelsea will not spend 100 million on an injury-prone player like him.
And also remember he is going to the English premier league from the Italian league. in the English Premier League, the physical aspect of football is going to be much higher and much more needed. So he will be much more injury-prone in Chelsea. This is probably one of the biggest reasons why I think this is a great decision that was taken by Chelsea. And the money that they are spending for him, they can get other great players with that amount of money. When the money is so big, there are a lot of options. And they need to consider those options
...
Yes, I totally agree to this decision taken by Chelsea, because I really don't like the idea of splashing out 100million plus anytime they want to sign a quality player, though victor osimhen is a very good player no doubt, and he will definitely improve the attack of Chelsea, but splashing out 100million plus on him, at this particular time that financial fair play is currently breathing on their neck, is definitely not a wise thing to do, so keeping off from such transfer is very important, and it shows that the new owners of Chelsea are finally learning.
As for the injuries he always have, I think it's a valid reason for Chelsea not to go for this deal, because it's actually very painful as an investor to invest so much on a player, then he will always be injured, even when the team needed him the most, he might not even be available due to injuries, so it a very valid reason to me if they stay off from this particular transfer.
The injury concern has definitely played the biggest part in this deal. But at the same time, the performance from him has also not been the best in recent seasons. Of course, the whole team of Napoli did not perform well. That is not his fault alone. But his performance was also not something to really admire. Especially when you realize that his market value is around 100 million.

Maybe he has another mission after successfully conquering the EPL, such as moving to Serie A to win several titles there.

If both Arsenal and Chelsea can afford what Leipzig's ask, it's better for Sesko to join Chelsea than Arsenal because Arsenal has a curse that makes them can't win prestigious trophy lol. Chelsea might not be very strong right now, but they can improve and compete against other top teams. Sesko can get a spotlight too if he's successful, but if he joined Arsenal, many people set the standard too high and it might affect his performance.Some disadvantages of targeting osimhen.

Considering from Goal.com, Pep Guardiola announced had closed the door return back to Barcelona one day later after his contract expiring with Manchester City. Its bad ideas for him returning back to Barcelona because financial problem and make Pep Guardiola lack opportunities for signing top players, actually Pep Guardiola is most successful manager with Barcelona by winning all trophies from La Liga, UEFA Champion League, Copa del Rey and success making the history or treble winner for his first appearances.
Since get difficult with financial, Barcelona less interested for Pep Guardiola and seems he can't bring back Barcelona become bigger team in European because every window transfer never sign top player. Pep Guardiola decision close the door return back to Barcelona is right because he want make bad reputation with his manager career always success winning domestic league every season.
A coach like Pep Guardiola really needs a team that is truly financially stable because that way Pep can look for quality players according to the expected criteria. It makes sense that quality players certainly have the right price. Meanwhile, Barcelona currently seems more difficult to meet Pep's expectations in building an ideal squad. I will not blame Pep's decision because a club's financial stability is normal for a coach.Since get difficult with financial, Barcelona less interested for Pep Guardiola and seems he can't bring back Barcelona become bigger team in European because every window transfer never sign top player.

Barcelona can learn from Real Madrid, when their finances are stable they can create the perfect squad filled with high quality players. Even though Pep Guardiola loves Barcelona, in this case he is realistic and doesn't want to risk his reputation for a team that is financially bad.
This is good but I hope they'll be having a good coach to get the right players who will fit well and may not become a flop because this is what they tried to do before their bankruptcy crisis and their sporting director getting deal done extravagantly 
I think this transfer may be one of the best and biggest transfers this season that has been successful at the beginning of the transfer market. One of the best stars in Europe right now signing for one of the best clubs in Europe is undoubtedly big news. Mbappé Real Madrid fans have been waiting a long time for the deal to be completed and after all the drama the deal has finally been completed. Mbappé may be seen in Real Madrid's camp from a certain time. However, what is not yet confirmed is Mbappe's jersey number. How many jersey numbers will Mbappe play in Real Madrid in the next season, but it is still a big question among us.
The question of what jersey number Mbappe will wear is not yet known to everyone, but for Real Madrid fans I don't think this is something that is being eagerly awaited. Because the more important thing is that Mbappe has officially defended Real Madrid next season because this is an additional strength for a team like Real Madrid which is still coached by the reliable coach Carlo Ancelotti. And I think everyone will have no doubts about Real Madrid having the potential to win more trophies next season which could be quite possible for Real Madrid.But first, Mbappe will focus on Euro 2024 with the French team before joining coach Carlo Ancelotti's team next season. I believe that Real Madrid will help Mbappe win the titles he always desires. And on the contrary, Mbappe will help Real Madri dominate Europe.

Manchester City knows that this player has excellent abilities, so they won't just let him go and let him join another team. Even though many offers have come their way, for now they want to keep it. But maybe they will change their minds if they get a tempting offer to let Julian Alvarez go. Actually, Manchester City is also a stable team, both in terms of the players they have and their financial situation, so I don't think the offer of money will make them waver.
This season he scored 11 goals and 9 assists from 36 appearances in the English Premier League. In the Champions League he also recorded 5 goals and 2 assists from his 7 appearances. That is a good record for a player, he contributed to the game of Manchester City. The news I also have is that Paris Saint Germain is one of the teams interested in bringing in Julian Alvarez, they are definitely trying with all their might, especially with their weapon, namely money.
I do not think that "they won't let him" is not an option, it all depends on selling or not selling. If they think that they need him, and he knows that they need him, and he will play many games, then it is possible that both sides agree on not leaving just yet, but if Alvarez wants to leave, either they sell him and make 100+ million now, or he leaves after his contract is over like how PSG did, it's that simple.This season he scored 11 goals and 9 assists from 36 appearances in the English Premier League.

I feel like the thing about Alvarez is that he seems quite happy there, so there is no reason why he would leave, if player wasn't happy then City wouldn't be able to keep him, but as long as he stays as a happy player there getting as many minutes as he wants, then I think it would be quite alright for City to just let Alvarez be happy there. But there is no "letting him" at all, it's Alvarez that makes that decision.

I still remember that Daichi Kamada was a free agent player that Lazio managed to bring in from Frankfurt last season but it seems that Lazio only gave him a one season contract so that this summer he can leave as a free agent again. Now it is reported that he has carried out a medical test to join one of the EPL teams, namely Crystal Palace.
Apart from that, Daichi Kamada will also get a 2 year contract and this will also enable Asian players to shine in the most competitive European competition. If we remember there are several Asian players who have joined several EPL teams such as Son Heung-min (Spurs), Endo (Liverpool), Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton), Hwang Hee-chan (Wolves) and now it's Daichi Kamada's turn (Crystal Palace)
Surely this will be a special color and can motivate other Asian players to penetrate the highest European level.

Pep Guardiola decision close the door return back to Barcelona is right because he want make bad reputation with his manager career always success winning domestic league every season.
You are right Barcelona financial situation is the main reason why I think Pep Guardiola turned down the possibility of going back to manage at Barcelona. He kept a good record at Barcelona and he won't like to put a dent to his records. Barcelona should look for a way to improve their financial situation, if not real Madrid will keep oppressing them. Guardiola had one of the best squad in the histoy of football when he was the manager at Barcelona. So it will take him something similar to that squad he had back then to go back to Barcelona.

Pep Guardiola decision close the door return back to Barcelona is right because he want make bad reputation with his manager career always success winning domestic league every season.
Pep Guardiola had specialists in all departments of his squad back then and that was the reason why he excelled at Barcelona. No good manager can win trophies when you are managing in a club that can't afford quality players. Carlos Ancelotti is doing well today at real Madrid because he has access to quality players, but let's not forget that he struggled at Everton, even though he is a great manager. But if in the future Barcelona financial situation changes, I would love to see Guardiola back to Barcelona once again.
You people might not agree with me but I think that's fair. This is definitely a good decision taken by Chelsea. The most important point that they have made is about his injury. Keep remembering that the English Premier League is a very highly competitive league. You know, the football is also very physical in this league.
So if he is getting injured in the Italian league so much, how much is he going to be injured in the English Premier League? That is something which Chelsea has kept in mind. They have also talked about his fee but I think all the players that have the same level of talent as him are actually going to cost like that. The cost of players have gone up a lot. style of play and injuries should be the main concern.

The cost of players have gone up a lot. style of play and injuries should be the main concern.
I don't think his injury can be an excuse because there are many players who play in Italy who are also successful in England. The cause of player injuries is that the coach forces himself to play too much so that fatigue and injury are prone to occur.
The Premier League is competitive and the tough style of play will make it difficult for some players to adapt, but I am sure Osimhen can overcome that when he plays in England.
Salary issues can be negotiated and perhaps decisions can be made after an agreement has been reached with both parties.
If Osimhem fails to play in England then I want him to play at PSG because maybe there it will be a much better fit.
Any decision will affect Osimhen's future and if he stays at Napoli I'm not sure he will thrive again.
Arsenal and Chelsea reportedly withdrew from trying to recruit Osimhen, the price set by Napoli was the main obstacle, both clubs were reluctant to pay Osimhen very expensive release clause. PSG is the only club that might be willing to recruit Osimhen at a high price. The President of Napoli and the President of PSG have reportedly held a meeting to discuss the possibility of Osimhen transfer.
Indeed, many hope that Osimhen will go to the Premier League, especially Arsenal. Arteta needs players who are sharper than Jesus and Nketiah, because they have the ambition to win the Premier League trophy next season. Chelsea already have Nkunku and Jackson, if they sign Osimhen it means Enzo Maresca will have to sacrifice one of them.

Osimhen is a decent player, but the price to pay is huge. That is why, it is very natural that Arsenal refuses to fulfill the Serie A striker's demands which I quoted from several news sources. Personally, I would love for Osimhen to join Emirates Stadium this summer. Thus, at least the Gunners have a pure striker they can rely on. However, it seems that this effort did not result in a meeting between the two parties, which made it possible for Paris Saint-Germain to submit a contract offer to Osimen and a proposal to Napoli. Apart from the news regarding Osimhen, Arsenal has another target that they might be able to bring to the Emirates, namely Benzamin Sesko. It is also rumored that Chelsea has made a contract offer to Benzamin Sesko, but it seems that Arteta will not remain silent because it is rumored that Arsenal is now prioritizing the purchase of Sesko from RB Leipzig. Reportedly after the opening offer was rejected, TeamTalk reported that Arsenal had again offered a new offer. Now, Arsenal are waiting to see what new proposal will be accepted as Leipzig maintains the striker's full release clause of £55 million. We'll see, whether Arsenal succeed in bringing in Sesko or they will target other stickers that are on their radar. As an Arsenal supporter, I hope that any striker brought to the Emirates is an ideal choice and can adapt quickly. Regarding Chelsea, I didn't really dig up any information regarding this team. but clearly, they also need an established striker rather than relying on Jackson. Even if Chelsea were interested in bringing Osimhen, apart from the expensive dowry involved, releasing several of their players would have to be done.
The thing is, the performance that Osimhen is actually showing, is actually not worth the money. I understand that he is a very important player for Napoli right now. But that does not mean any other team is going to be ready to pay anything that they ask for the player.
Yes, there are a lot of really rich clubs that might actually show a lot of interest in him and also maybe buy him for such a high price. But he is not going to be a player who will be a good value for money. I heard that some clubs which showed a lot of interest in him are actually back because of the price tag. Arsenal and Chelsea are interested. But not that much as far as we have heard. Actually, Arsenal is a little bit more interested in him compared to Chelsea. But I still think that the price tag is really high. But here's another thing, Arsenal does spend a lot of money. So is there a chance?
Quote
Currently, Chelsea and Arsenal are also backing away from their desire to get Osimhen from Napoli, although now Napoli clearly hinted that Osimhen will be sold because it is likely that Osimhen is not included in Conte plans next season, Conte desire to bring in Lukaku is of course a signal if Conte prioritizes Lukaku as their main striker next season rather than Osimhen, Even Napoli has offered Osimhen to Chelsea as a way for them to get Lukaku by also including a lot of money for the transfer, but Chelsea actually refused because they saw Osimhen price being too expensive, after Chelsea, now Arsenal is also withdrawing from the competition to get Osimhen because Napoli asked Arsenal to pay Osimhen for 90 million euros plus Tomiyasu and also Smith Rowe.
This is too much and even I will back down from such deal because it’s not a transparent one looking at the players to be involved and swapped with him including 90 million euros. Osimhen is a good player and the season before this one that ended was a very great one for him that made him surge in value. But checking at the recently concluded season, it is obvious that he didn’t do well and his worth would have depreciated by now. Osimhen to join Arsenal will be a very good boost to the team because of the nature of striker he his, but Napoli have now made them lose interest in the player even when they’re not looking to utilise him for the next season.

So if he is getting injured in the Italian league so much, how much is he going to be injured in the English Premier League? That is something which Chelsea has kept in mind. They have also talked about his fee but I think all the players that have the same level of talent as him are actually going to cost like that. The cost of players have gone up a lot. style of play and injuries should be the main concern.
Yes, I totally agree to this decision taken by Chelsea, because I really don't like the idea of splashing out 100million plus anytime they want to sign a quality player, though victor osimhen is a very good player no doubt, and he will definitely improve the attack of Chelsea, but splashing out 100million plus on him, at this particular time that financial fair play is currently breathing on their neck, is definitely not a wise thing to do, so keeping off from such transfer is very important, and it shows that the new owners of Chelsea are finally learning.
As for the injuries he always have, I think it's a valid reason for Chelsea not to go for this deal, because it's actually very painful as an investor to invest so much on a player, then he will always be injured, even when the team needed him the most, he might not even be available due to injuries, so it a very valid reason to me if they stay off from this particular transfer.
