Which players will be that expense to compensate for Osimhen and Ronald Araujo. They got good eyes, Osimhen as a striker can reshape that club but the last I checked, Osimhen is still with Napoli and the reason why he never accepted early offers before went to Galatasaray was the wages, if Manchester United isn't going to give him good money, he might decline their offer because Galatasaray are treating him well despite been on a loan contract.

Another challenge for Osimhen move to Manchester United and why it might be difficult is that Napoli chairman is still interested in Osimhen as their forward. They want him back home so he can play along side with Lukaku so the team can become even stronger. Atalanta is becoming headache to them due to the presence of Ademola. Ronald is a good taste for the defense, time to free that Maguire guy, he has done his best at this point.

I don't think there’s anything strategic about bringing Lionel Messi to Manchester City, he’s 37 years old and cannot be as athletic as a 24 year old player. Tbh I don’t believe signing Messi will solve Manchester City’s long term problems. Messi is one the greatest players of all time and could still offer moments of brilliance, but he has no experience in the Premier League, the pace of the game is very fast in the EPL compared to the leagues he’s played before. This is not the time for Pep to be playing around, he should sign a player that can substitute for Rodri.

In some rumors it is said that for now Barcelona is trying to sell several players including Araujo and de Jong so that they can find alternative players later although in terms of price it is clear that it will definitely be very difficult when dealing with Barcelona (because they are trying to get a large profit) but in the end maybe this can still be done for Manchester United.

Barcelona are expecting at least 100 million for the release clause but this would be ridiculous when it comes to Araujo because I think Barcelona are trying to squeeze too much out of Araujo if they want this price.

For Osimhen this is also still possible even though the price is definitely high but I think Amorim if he really wants to seriously fix the attack line then there must be a price paid more and Osimhen can still be the answer to a pure striker at Manchester United if in the end the Glazer Family and Sir Jim Ratcliffe try to improve Mancehster United's performance then indeed they must be prepared with an influx of funds again for a squad overhaul in the end.

Amorim player wishlist is quite interesting, Manchester United can afford to bring in all three players to the club but I don’t think they will. Victor Osimhen and Ronald Araújo will cost a significant transfer fee, but after Manchester United has sold their underperforming players they should have enough flexibility to be able to give room for top players like Osimhen and Araujo.

What are Real Madrid thinking? How can they be interested in a 33 year old defender where they are a lot of young talented central backs like Diomande from Sporting, Saliba from Arsenal, and Ibrahim Konate of Liverpool, these players will offer Real Madrid more years than Virgil Van Dijk. No disrespect to Van Dijk, he is a proven defender with track record of success at top flight but considering his age, I don't think it will be wise for madrid to make a move for him.

It is not funny if a newly recruited player cannot last long because he cannot be registered due to financial constraints. By releasing several players, it is the only way out that Barcelona management must do if Dani Olmo wants to continue to strengthen his squad, and in my opinion the management has already prepared which players they will sell in the January transfer market, for example de Jong, in my opinion the player can be included in the sales list, his contribution to the team is still minimal, especially now he is prone to injury.

While Conte may prefer experienced players and he is interested in signing Maguire, it seems unlikely that Maguire will be willing to leave Manchester united for Napoli as he would likely choose to stay and fight for his place in the squad. And as for rumours about Nkunku wanting to leave Chelsea during the upcoming winter transfer window might not hold much weight. He has been fantastic did Chelsea this season significantly contributing to their progress with both goals and assists.

Regarding Manchester United, it's expected that they would aim to bring in a clinical striker with a proven track record of success rather than settling for someone like dusan vlahovic who might be perceived as average in comparison.

Lastly, talks about Manuel Neuer potentially extending his contract at Bayern Munich is promising, it aligns with the idea of him retiring at the club and cementing his legacy as a Bayern legend.

You might be surprised that Rashford will be in Manchester United next season. Wasn't Hag strict that Amorim and yet he never left, he signed a long term contract with Manchester United to stay until 2028, that's extra 3 years to go. As long as he changes and contribute to the team, he will remain in the club if he wish to stay there but if his mind is made up, he will leave but I'm not sure he will get any deal better than staying in Manchester United and work on his performance.

Osimhen might regect Manchester United, they wanted to offer him small payment and that's was why he never joined them, if they didn't do that back then what's going to make the team change their mind now, they don't want him and sure he doesn't want them as well. He is In Galatasaray enjoying his games with goals, hopefully they let him stay until the end of the season so he can part ways as free loan from Napoli and move to bigger club.

From what I've been reading in the Portuguese newspapers, Rashford is the player who will leave the team in the near future. This is clear because the coach has not been playing him and therefore leaving Manchester United is the best option. I had already commented on this two seasons ago when I said that Rashford would be destroying his career if he continued at Manchester United and that he needed to leave urgently. Fortunately, now he has this great chance to leave. We saw many good players who went to Manchester United and were unable to play well and were left on the bench, but after leaving Manchester United they returned to playing well.

Dani Olmo arrived Barcelona in the summer and since the start of the season, the Spain international have been one of of the club's best performers so I don't think they'll want to allow him leave at the end of the season. Barcelona's current financial strength is very limited so they'll have to release few players in other to keep Olmo at the club beyond the current season. I think the club management already knows what to do in order to accommodate Olmo and that I think they'll definitely do.

Personally I love this picks by Amorim, many people were expecting him to prioritize his former striker Gyokeres but it seems Amorim is part of those managers that actually do not want to have their former players back to their new club reason that most of the time this actually fails. His decision to actually go for Osimhen is something I see as a very good option because playing his pattern of football you need a striker that can hold up play so well and then bring wingers into the game and we have seen that part of game in Osimhen everywhere he goes. He will definitely make a big difference, but Manchester United might definitely need to add more wingers at least one and I think Kavarshkelia; former England Osimhen mate is on their radar.

The signing of Arauajo is something I have been looking forward to at Manchester United because they definitely need that kind of player. The only thing that’s my problem is his injury worries, Manchester United have lots of players they need to dispose off for this to work, and examples are Lindelof, Evans, Casemiro, Rashford, Antony, Shaw, Ericksen and some others this players will reduce the load on wage and possibly bring in more revenue and then maybe they can add like 100m more to invest in new players.
The option of which striker to go is almost clear I think Zirkzee will be the one to be dumped with juventus showing interest just already

Actually, it is not a new thing for Barcelona, ​​and usually they always find a solution towards the last minute of registration. Barcelona management has worked hard to recruit Dani Olmo from Leipzig last summer, he was quickly able to become a key player in Hansi Flick squad. Hansi Flick is more willing to release other players, who are less contributing and prone to injury than to release Dani Olmo. Players who have long-term injuries, such as Ter Stegen, will likely be dropped and not registered in the second half of the season, allowing management to register Dani Olmo. Several elite European clubs are certainly monitoring the progress of Dani Olmo registration, they hope to get him for free, even though the possibility is very low.

Maybe they can keep one of these two players as a reserve in the team. They can sell the other player. I think we all know that Marcus Rashford will not be in the team anymore. They will probably sell him. They can use the income from his transfer for new transfers. I think Osimhen should be transferred first. Because it seems like there are going to be difficult days for Manchester United in terms of offense. Osimhen can be a remedy for Manchester United in this sense.

The even further shocking thing is, when Klopp was there, I thought he was the one who wanted Nunez so he didn't want to look bad and cut him off, so he kept playing him and that sort of made some sense, like hoped that Nunez would get better in the end.

However, when Arne Slot took over, I was 100% sure that Nunez would get less chances and he would request a much better striker, and that did not happen, which shocked me. It's clear that the number one need of this team to get an elite level striker, even without one, they are leading the league. I mean imagine having Haaland on this team for example, they would have been 10+ point leaders right now, and yet even the new manager didn't want to get someone else, which is a huge shocker to me.

Signing Messi will indeed improve the mentality and morale of Manchester City players in the short term, although actually it can be a quick alternative for Guardiola to restore the performance and morale of his squad, but as you said, the recruitment of Messi also cannot be a good option if they are want be  strong team again for the long term considering Messi age,  But I think who Guardiola will sign later, it should be able to improve their performance and in this case they have to really recruit players who have a significant impact on the team revival both in the short term and in the long term, players like Musiala and Wirtz have great potential to develop and also make a long-term contribution to the team, but reportedly at this time Wirtz actually chose to stay at Leverkusen so the opportunity to get him will be very difficult.

Barcelona has received so many offers for many of its players. They have to decide which player to sold as soon as possible to reduce their salary cap, then gives a space for Olmo. It will so bad if they let Olmo leave as a free agent. He's really talented player and deserve a place in the Barcelona.

They have received offers for Kounde and Eric Garcia. We will know which player is gonna leave from Barcelona.

They shall be blamed if they let Olmo leave as free agent.

What if Mo Salah really needs a challenge, I mean it's not about money for him anymore. Whatever the reason is that Mo Salah is not quick to respond to the contract renewal is his right. And the club can't force him, let him decide for himself. Although I know his departure will definitely leave a lot of disappointment for the fans and the club.

Harry Maguire should be given a new contract at Manchester United. The English player has greatly improved this season and shouldn't be allowed to leave just like that. The problem is not selling but getting a suitable replacement. Except it is his decision to leave, I think he might be a good backup to the squad. There is even some information that Turkish club Galatasaray are also interested in the English defender.

Christopher Nkunku might want more playing time in Chelsea and might want to leave because there is no sign of him getting it anytime soon. For, he should be patient with Chelsea because they were also patient with him when he was injured severally.    

The transfer news of Victor Osimhen will never end until he gets a permanent deal from any club. The Nigerian have committed his service to Galatasaray till the end of the season. I dont know if he would change his mind if he gets an offer from one of the biggest clubs in the English Premier League.  

I wouldn't want Mo Salah to leave Liverpool because for me he is a fundamental player and it is a fact that he contributes a lot to the team, even with everything that Liverpool has been through in several cycles since KLOPP, Mo Salah is one of the players who has done the best along this path, I hope he doesn't leave, I don't understand what the Egyptian's reasons could be for not renewing, it could be personal problems, not much is known, but I think the Club will advocate for him to stay, perhaps offering him more money, it's a good strategy.

Despite his young age, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim already have a proven record of knowing how to manage the best football talents at his disposal so if he wants a sharp striker Victor Osimhen, a solid defender like Araujo and young but efficient midfielder Tyler Dibling then the club management should try and sign them as soon as possible.
Manchester United have improved since Amorim arrived and that I think means they'll improve further if he gets his preferred targets.
