Anyway they will only sell him after the end of the season if they want to do so, of course there will be a break and a transfer window when they can both buy a new player and besides, Diaz won't play without a break. For that matter, if he's a professional, he can play all the time, after all, other players don't rest, do they?

This Rodrigo case is mixed because the only way I see Madrid selling him is when they sign another right winger or probably a striker. They currently are still short of options upfront even if Mbappe comes. The likes of Joselu who are loan players will soon leave, so it will be a big hasty decision to sell Rodrigo. Even if Madrid is to release players to actually reduce the wages load I think the likes of ibrahim Diaz and Dani Ceballos will have to go first. They only time I see the young lad leaving is when Endrick arrives and another striker like the Rumored Oshimen or Halaand also comes.

Anyway this is all just theory for now and since the departure is ambiguous, I think it's better to focus on who they can buy apart from Mbappe who should finally come into this team. I think that with Mbappe coming in the team will probably be rebuilt just for him, at least that looks realistic

It's not about the fee now, he should move to a club he can win individual awards and also the Champions League. A move to Chelsea or Arsenal would be more appealing. My opinions though even if they don't count.
Personally, I would still prefer going to Chelsea, that squad and project would be best for him.
Chelsea and Arsenal are two teams that have very good goal scoring creating abilities this season, with the addition of a striker like Victor Osimhen to either of the two clubs, he will score lots of goals, and his first season will quickly be in comparison with Haaland first season in the league.

If he moves to Arsenal, he can quickly become a first team choice under Arteta's expertise. Arteta has a good record of bringing the best out of players, looks at Havertz for example. If Osimhen moves to Chelsea, they need to sack Poch because I personally think he is incompetent to handle this rich Chelsea team that has talented players who can deliver with a good coach. His game changes and tactics most times are off.

PSG is smart to be chasing Osimhen. This guy, hes got the potential to be the next big thing, right up there with Haaland and Mbappe. €120 million? Honestly, sounds like a bargain considering what he brings to the table. He might not be hitting peak form right now, but very few players can do that year after year. I'd bet my best golf course that he's itching to prove himself in the Premier League - its the most challenging out there. Man United or Chelsea would be smart to snag him.  PSG can throw huge money at him. Plus, stepping into Mbappe's shoes, the Paris lifestyle... hard to turn that down.

Nonsense!
Has Victor Oshime no sense, no eyes, or any guiduian? Hasn't he learnt from those greats who has featured and played for Paris Saint Germany? Lol!

He should look at Lionel Messi, Neymar Junior and Kylian Mbappe and he still wants to swing that way? They have nothing to give him honestly. And if he wanted huge figures, why not go to Saudi Arabia? The contract he was to be paid if he had moved should have been worth 1 billion in the Nigerian currency. Why not go there over PSG moves ho can't win anything asides the league 1 Competition.

It's not about the fee now, he should move to a club he can win individual awards and also the Champions League. A move to Chelsea or Arsenal would be more appealing. My opinions though even if they don't count.

I don't find it fun when we make comparison of one the greatest players and include Mbape all the time. Osimhen and Haaland are both great strikers but I have watch them countless times and what they both have in common is that they can't perform well without a good midfielder, Haaland is always dependent on Kevin De Bruyne while Osimhen is always depend on Khvicha but allow Mbape to have his way with ball, he will do some wonders and his speed to make goals over and over again.

If PSG want Osimhen, they are going to get him but I don't think he will want to go over there, not after what he experienced in Italy and Napoli, the fans has been amazing but even tye club weren't helping when he needed them the most because they were counting on satisfying their money than satisfy their own player. I think Osimhen will prioritize going to any Premier League team.

Joghen Klopp will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season,and it is the reason why the Reds are doing everything possible to win the premier league for him before he leaves.He has really served and transformed Liverpool ever since he came.He wants to go now,but the question is,can Liverpool ever get another coach that can do exactly what Klopp was doing? I think it is going to be very hard to find a perfect replacement  to Klopp, although he has recommended the club to bring in Xabi Alonso of Bayern Leverkusen,to take the Klopp to a different height,and continue his excellent job.


Klopp has confirmed that he will leave Liverpool next season, after Alonso also stated that staying at Leverkusen certainly makes it difficult for Liverpool to get the right figure for them to make coach next season, currently the media continues to say that Roberto De Zerby, Ruben Amorim and Thiago Motta are strong candidates to replace Klopp next season at Liverpool,  Of the names above, of course, De Zerby is the most ideal candidate at this time, especially reportedly Klopp suggested Liverpool to recruit De Zerby next season as his replacement.

But in my opinion, De Zerby will probably reject it because after all, from some interviews, he keeps saying if he hasn't thought about his future at the moment and he also stated that he is comfortable enough with Brighton that I think maybe De Zerby will extend his contract with Brighton next season, whereas Amorim of course he keeps stating if maybe he will no longer coach Benfica next season and I think this is a sign if indeed he is Interested in coaching Liverpool next season, for Thiago Motta it looks like he will continue his luck with Bologna who will probably play in the Champions League next season, I think all the speculation about the Liverpool coach will be something thrilling for their fans and of course it will be interesting to see who will indeed be chosen by Liverpool for continue Klopp glory so far.

Ancelotti is experimenting with his squad. Ancelotti is trying to find a consistent match strategy for Madrid. Madrid played in a 4-2-2-2 formation in the last match against Atheletic Club. In the previous match against Osasuna, Madrid played in a 4-3-3 formation. Madrid played in a 4-3-1-2 formation against Celta Vigo. And in the Champions League match against Leipzig, Madrid played in a 4-3-3 formation. However, this season Madrid have played most of their matches in a 4-3-1-2 formation. And if Ancelotti wants to keep this formation unchanged, maybe Madrid management will decide to sell Rodrygo.



Personally I think Madrid will not keep Rodrygo in the squad next season. Although Rodrygo is a talented player, Madrid are not getting enough support from Rodrygo. Rodrygo's performance is quite erratic. Moreover, several Premier League clubs are interested in adding Rodrygo to the squad.

Rodrygo with EASY decision to make over €100m Premier League move

Several big teams like Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool are interested in adding Rodrygo to the squad. And they are ready to pay big amount for Rodrygo.
I feel like if he leaves, that would open up so much stuff for real, but that's also a big trouble for them at the same time. They raised him basically, he got there when he was so young, and he has been doing wonderful there so much, not that they do not have anyone who can't play there, if they want to they could even make Valverde play there, and it wouldn't matter to them. They have way too many midfielders in theory, but they have players that can play in multiple positions.

Look at Jude and Vinicious all season long, they played sort of like a striker at this point and people do not see that. I think the best thing to do would be making sure that the yare dealing with a team that can play positionless, anyone can play anywhere.

Joao Cancelo stated that he still wants to play for Barcelona next season and with this statement perhaps he is no longer obsessed with returning to Manchester City. We know that Joao Cancelo's relationship with Manchester City is not very good, therefore he is often loaned out to other clubs such as Bayern Munich or currently Barcelona. There was interest from other clubs but Joao Cancelo did not want to negotiate with other clubs apart from Barcelona.

It seems that Barcelona is also very happy if Joao Cancelo wants to stay, but the problem is, can Barcelona make his transfer from Manchester City permanent? We know that is the answer that Joao Cancelo wants because he really loves this Catalan club, but again we know that Barcelona's finances are not doing well. What is certain is that Barcelona will dig deep into their pockets to make Joao Cancelo permanent from Manchester City and we will know the answer when the season ends.

Xabi Alonso has already announced that he will stay with Leverkusen for one more year. Don't expect him to come to Liverpool.
Xabi Alonso have attracted too many reasonable offers and this have been the top target for these elite teams. Every management would admire to sign a coach that fits so well in the system and without having complications, always hitting on the harder knots which will results to top goals. Xabi Alonso should be more time to execute his plans for the team, he's the potential manager that have brought the difference of loses and streak winnings. Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten this season and they've also nailed every possible chances of winning the Bundesliga title this season.

The agent of Bologna boss Thiago Motta has hinted that he could leave the Serie A club this summer amid managerial openings at Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Barcelona.

Motta, 41, has performed admirably since being appointed at Bologna in 2023 and they are currently on course to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history.

Suddenly it seems like a lot of managers are free to take up the job at Liverpool. Actually, on paper it looks like he might be a good coach for Liverpool, but I still think that Liverpool should go for Xabi Alonso. Because I believe he is going to be the best replacement for Klopp.  And with him, Liverpool will have better confidence in my opinion. And Alonso has achieved a lot more compared to Motta. Of course, it is not as easy as that. But liverpool should spend good amount of money to make sure that they get a really good coach. At least make sure that they don't downgrade.

Of course Liverpool can find a good manager, but it's hard to find one like Klopp. Klopp was unlucky that Pep was in the Premier League at the same time, otherwise Klopp could have won more titles. I don't think they will win this year, but they had one good season where they were champions. That's enough for them.
Xabi Alonso seems not ready to face how difficult compete with Premier League competition and try to stays one year later with Bayern Leverkusen, not easy for replacing Jurgen Klop have been success with Liverpool won many trophies. Get huge pressure for every manager will replace Jurgen Klopp position as Liverpool manager for next season.
Make more heavy pressure for the next manager if Liverpool in this season success winning Premier League and UEFA Europe League trophies, Alonso have official announced will stay one year later with Bayern Leverkusen and he was denied the interested from Bayern Munich and Liverpool want to sign him as manager.

I guess he wants to play in UCL with Leverkusen. Its also abit unethical to leave the club after they gave him players that he wanted but on the other hand, he is now pretty close on getting treble. One more game for Bundeslia, and finals on DFB Fokal so the last focus for his team would be on the Europa League so if he could get a treble then stay for one more season with decent result next year then pretty sure his price gonna spiked up even more

Jurgen Klopp like you rightly will leave Liverpool at the end of the current season and a lot of football managers have been speculated to replace him at Liverpool when he finally bids farewell to the team he's managed since October 2015 but none of the names we saw have been confirmed by the club management as Klopp's replacement.
Xabi Alonso that you mentioned as Jurgen Klopp's recommended man to replace him at Liverpool have publicly said that he's not going to leave his current club Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season but will instead remain at the club for at least another season. So it means that it's absolutely impossible for Xabi Alonso to replace Jurgen Klopp this summer unless the club will wait for another full season before they can sign him to be the club manager.

That's much better because Xabi Alonso can focus on making Leverkusen one of the strongest teams in the Bundesliga. Leverkusen just need to find some additional players for next season so they are much better. Liverpool must find a replacement for Jurgen Klopp next season and if they don't find the right person it will affect their playing performance so it will be much more difficult to maintain the team's performance. Next season will be much different because we never know what steps most clubs in the English league will take.

Neither club will be satisfied with achieving the title in the competition and they will try to do the same next season. But perhaps talking about opportunities means some clubs will lose the opportunity to compete for the title. It's the same as Man United, Chelsea and Tottenham because currently they are playing quite inconsistently but it could be that next season they will be competing for the title.

We can't compare Ligue 1 and the English Premier League, because if players want to get an extraordinary experience, clearly the English Premier League is the best choice, and so does Victor Osimhen. He has abilities that can develop further, and personally I would regret it if he chose Ligue 1 for his next competition, because I think it would hinder his development a little. Not without reason, because in Ligue 1 there is no tight competition so that will make it comfortable, and when players feel comfortable then they might become lazy.
Meanwhile, in the English Premier League, competition is very tight, if players are too lazy to practice then they will be far behind other players. There you can also form a very good mentality, because in almost every match, they will face opponents who are very likely to pose a very big threat to them. So in my opinion if Osimhen wants to move, then it is better to go to the English Premier League.
Regardless of the loopholes Osimhen faced for a few weeks with Napoli, he still found so much belief in them and he'sore or less the fans' favorite too. So the news of his contract extension was definitely soothing to the team and fans too. Now it's certain that they'd keep seeing and benefiting from his unique style of football. He's being a key man at the Italian side and it was although very much unlikely for them to let him slip off their arm.
He's just got more impacts to make. Napoli themselves have seen the quality of player he is and they really don't want to let him go. It's his decision no doubt, but maybe he's just got to get experiences in a different club environment. Even though, he still has an achievement to deliver onto the team too.

 Since Osimhen joined Napoli, he's been their key player and he's been doing his striking job perfectly without errors, even in times of emotional derailment from fans and the coach, he's still being able to keep his mind focused. He's in no wise the best thing that's happened to Napoli. He's the best addition to the team. Although Chelsea are having eyes on him but it's likely that Napoli won't let him slip without a very good replacement for him. His exit will place a threat to the teams performance subsequently and they may likely go back drastically.

 For Chelsea, he may not be able to cope immediately, he'd need time to blend and it's likely that the Chelsea pattern may not fit him. No doubt he's got the decision to make but he's got to weigh the options too considering that Chelsea can as well give him a whole new experience to football even though they're declining currently in their performance.

Osimeh can end to PSG, according to il Corriere dello Sport, they are willing to pay the release clause of 120m €.
In this winter their president said it will be sold, probably in Premier, but need to also consider the will of the player.

Many English team can also sign him, In the end it will go where they will pay the biggest salary to him I guess, since the price is fixed at 120m to Napoli.

Manchester United can be a valid alternative imho.

In my opinion, if he goes to Manchester United, then he will destroy his career, at Manchester United he won't achieve anything relevant, they won't win the Premier League, even if he stays at Manchester United for 10 seasons. At Manchester United he will not win the European Champions League even if he stays at Manchester United for 10 seasons and knowing that the management of Manchester United has no concrete plan to hire a good coach who has already won the Premier League, the Champions League European champions many times so I could make Manchester United a strong team again
100% I completely agree that Victor Osimhen's departure to Man United will only destroy everything he has built so far with Napoli. Not only that, Osimhen may have received treatment that made him uncomfortable from Ten Hag. We know that Ten Hag is not the type of coach who is proud of one player, especially since Ten Hag prefers to bring in players from the Netherlands. This is normal and what is clear is that Man United is not suitable for Osimhen, because Osimhen's target is to become a top European player, not a useless player.

If Osimhen wants to go to the EPL, there is the option of offering his services to Chelsea, Liverpool or Newcastle because currently several striker positions, for example Mo Salah is rumored to be leaving at the end of this season, Newcastle really needs an injection of aggressive players, or Chelsea which has been discussed a lot with Osimhen since the start .

Well it is not a new thing because seeing from his current condition it is possible for PSG to bring Oshimen to their squad, especially with Mbappe's news that there is still no clarity and the possibility that he will leave, it is certain that at this time Osimhen can be a good option at PSG striker after Mbappe leaves.
The 120 million clause is not a problem I think because if I remember correctly last season when Mbappe's drma was still the same as this season PSG had prepared immediate funds of around 150 million to bring Osimhen so that for now 120 million which is Osimhen's release clause from Napoli it is not a big problem for PSG because seeing from his current condition such money is still too small a change for them.

Neymar is a very talented player, but injuries ruined his career. In this transfer deal, I believe PSG did not lose money, they probably made a lot of money from recruiting him and selling him to Saudi Arabia. The only losers are probably Barcelona and even Neymar himself. If he had remained at Barcelona, perhaps his career would not have been inferior to that of his seniors.
Neymar's career went down because of himself. His wild partying habits have left him unable to maintain his physical condition, meaning his injuries are more difficult to recover from. In terms of natural talent, he is not inferior to Messi or Ronaldo, even better if he plays with a little more discipline. Moving to PSG may have been Neymar's mistake, but it brought a lot of advertising money to PSG as well as enhanced their image when their squad had a trio of super players, Neymar - Messi - Mbappe.
When he moved from Barca to PSG, I saw that Neymar's enthusiasm for competition had dropped. So even if he stayed at Barca, Neymar's contribution would no longer be the same as before, so Barca selling Neymar was a quite reasonable decision at that time, in my opinion.
Players are required to be disciplined not only on the field, but they also have to be disciplined when they are off the field, and one of the reasons why many players experience problems is because their activities outside the field are unable to discipline themselves.
We never doubt Neymar's talent, but the problem is that he often receives injuries which in the end become a fundamental problem for him. In just one season he repeatedly had to be sidelined due to injuries he suffered. It's a shame that a talented player like him has to experience something like this which hinders his career. Even with the situation he experienced, it made his team demand a lot because they were deemed unable to provide a contribution commensurate with the money they spent.

Ruben Amorim has also started to be rumoured for the Liverpool job after Klopp leaves by the end of this season. He has a really good career in Portugal so far. His whole life has been there as well. He has achieved really nice things with Sporting at the same time. His current contract with Sporting expires in 2026.

Do you believe he could be a candidate for Liverpool? I'm not sure honestly.  Sad  There must be better options than him as well. It isn't easy to find a manager who can be at least as successful as Klopp. If they find a manager who knows the team and league well it would be faster in terms of adaptation.
39 years old Ruben Amorim is having amazing start of his career as coach with in his first season he gives trophy to Sporting CP as they won this after 19 years and now currently they are again at the top of league table with having challenges from the Benfica who is at the second spot and having one point difference but Sporting CP is also having one match in hand even his style of managerial is good, and he can do good but still there is big question like already mentioned by someone adopting English Conditions for any new player or coach is never been easy, so things are surely going to be challenging for the Ruben Amorim with if he is going to accept this offer for the Liverpool.

No doubt there are too many options, and they can do much better but still they are taking good time, and surely they are also having good finances which can give them good advantage for bringing anyone hopefully we will have clear things in few weeks with currently all are doing their best for title race into their leagues.
