Kvaratskhelia was not stable at all recently and he changed his mind all the time while choosing the next team. He just wanted to leave Napoli and that's not good. Kvaratskhelia is under contract and I don't think if PSG will pay too much for him or I don't think if Conte will let him leave the team easily.
While Osimhen can be an easier option since they lost Mbappe but Osimhen is now ready to fill the place of Mbappe in PSG.

Indeed, it's too high for Osimhen, Because of course PSG and Chelsea also have considerations as to why so far they have only dared on that number, especially because in the last season, Osimhen's performance was not as brilliant as the season when Napoli became champions and under Spalletti. The era has changed.

And if Napoli still want that price, then the only way is to go to Saudi Arabia. And this path began to open after PSG and Chelsea didn't dare to take Osimhen for such a high fee.

This is very interesting, really. Barcelona doesn't have enough money to bring in Nico Williams even though the club and its fans really hope to get him. Meanwhile, on the other hand, PSG have given up on getting Osimhen to become one of their front line players. So, Nico Williams could be a player with great transfer potential to this big French club for their attacking lines. At least, PSg has made tentative contact to race with Barcelona to sign Nico Williams from Athletic Club.

If I refer to Fabrizio Romano's report, it is said that Paris Saint-Germain will not pay Osimhen's clause even though talks are still continuing. I was a little surprised, PSG was actually able to do it. but for some reason they are not willing to follow what Napoli wants, it could be because Napoli also needs fresh funds. Plus, Osimhen is said to want to leave his current club. Or, PSG will be hit with FFP sanctions, I don't know for sure. However, the steps that PSG took should have been like that. Even though they were able to bring in Osimhen with a release clause, in reality they were not reckless without consideration. for example, last season PSG brought in Goncalo Ramos and Randal Colo Muani at quite expensive prices, but these two players needed a process to develop and become established with PSG. My guess is, it's just a matter of time. in the end Napoli will lower their price, and PSG can bring in Osimhen according to their wishes. This is just my speculation, but apart from that, PSG is said to still have other targets that they will target in this transfer window.

Khivicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris Saint Germany has been called off, it won't be happening anytime soon. They're currently exploring the chances of getting Jadon Sancho from Manchester United. It's said that Luis Enrique feel in love with his game during the Champions League clash they had ( Paris Saint Germany VS Borrussia Dortmund )

They have come to agreement with Victor Oshime for personal terms but not in agreement with the transfer fee for Victor Oshime. I don't know whats happening but finally,I would love to see him joining Paris Saint Germans. At least a chance to win trophies every season and also to play in the Champions League Competition.

Right now, much focus is to round up the deal for the young Portuguese midfielder from Benfica. We will see what happens with the transfer of Victor Oshime from Napoli to Paris.

Napoli are aware that selling both players is like inserting a deep hole into the team, it would leave the squad exposed and their attacking line would be very weak, these were the two most outstanding players in the Spalletti era when they won the Scudetto and they compliment each other during that time in scoring and giving assists and since Napoli are bent of making sure they capture a deal for Lukaku I don't think they'll let Kvaratskheila leave, Osimhen is the most likely to leave among both players, even though his release clause is something that would scare most big teams. Well, good news for Napoli cause PSG have cooled on the chase for Kvaratskheila and are now very eager to sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United, who's much cheaper and based on his display in the Champions League against PSG when he was at loan in Dortmund last season, I feel Enrique would mount pressure on the board to get Sancho.

If Osimhen wants to leave, I don't think Napoli will want to force him into the team, because if they keep him in the team by force, they won't get enough performance from him and there will be a risk of him leaving the team for free, as in the case of Mbappé. I think that's why Napoli don't push him too much. If he wants, he can leave the team, if he doesn't, he can stay in the team and continue the fight.

If buying Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia makes PSG stronger, but is it possible that it means it will make Napoli weak. Because after all, to replace the role of key players is not easy, even though the club can afford to buy new players but still, basically it must first build a chemistry which is certainly not  easy. But, from some sources I get, it looks like PSG will fail to buy Osimhen, because there is a tug-of-war that seems like Napoli still wants to sell Osimhen at a high price, but PSG does not agree.

But yes, there is still plenty of time for this transfer window and of course, that might keep the negotiations going. Because anyway, it seems that only PSG is the closest to getting Osimhen. Because of course,PSG is also difficult to determine a player who is truly worthy of filling the void due to Mbappe's departure. Although indeed, I also realize that replacing Mbappe's role will not be possible, but at least PSG has a player with great potential to be able to make good results in every PSG match in the future.

Napoli will dropped heavily in performance if they eventually allow their key men exits the club, we know the entire situation of the club and how they've turned flopping club since the exits of Luciano Spalleti. One of the prominent t manager that elevated the performance of the club. Antonio Conte have winning mentality and morales and he's a good positive impact for the players and the club. He has already started mapping his plans for the club and progress inverted into reality.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is a keyman in Napoli and he's with the club. Zero minded thoughts of leaving because he's here to play his best abilities. There's no way he's leaving, instead he will further extend his duration with the club, he's very important just like Victor Osimhen. They're both very cooperative and have a good chemistry between them. Perhaps the present constant bidding from other clubs will make  things a little bit confusing but these players in question knows what they want.

Some players are devoted to one team because of the love and the respect they have for the team; just as Marco Ruis did in Burusia Dortmund, Kvaratskhelia is also well respected by Napoli fans and he wanted to stay to keep the maximum respect for the team; nevertheless, it will be better for him to stay because I don’t think if he leaves for any top European team he will have a first team match playing time, he should instead stay in Napoli and enjoy his football.
If Osimhen leaves, Lukaku will join them, which is something not to be worried about because Lukaku can also deliver just as Osimhen because he is powerful and also have good goal scoring ability.

I don't know why Napoli is doing all this because I believe for some reason I seem to think that they will be the one ending up with regrets because it will get to a certain point  that the value of osimien will drop or osimien if bored by just decide to leave on free transfer to any club of his choice seeing that he is indeed a good player and his services will be needed although that can only happen if his contract is expired though.

I agree with you if you look at it from a financial point of view, Barcelona will be far behind in the race to get Nico Williams signature. However, it all depends on Nico Williams himself, in terms of game and culture, it is likely that he will prefer Barcelona. Atletic Bilbao will of course encourage him to join PSG, because the Ligue 1 giant can offer greater benefits. Apart from that, PSG might divert their attention from Osimhen because Napoli set the price too high, Nico Williams release clause is half of Osimhen price. In short, without needing extra effort PSG can win the race, because Barcelona is experiencing a financial crisis.

Kvaratskhelia received many offers and chose to stay in Napoli, which was his choice. If I were him, I would prefer to go to a bigger team in Europe, but he must be devoted to Napoli with his heart. I think money is not the only problem. Mentally, he must be very happy in Italy. Of course, if a better contract is offered, there is no point in leaving. Osimhen can leave, but the Georgian player seems determined not to leave Napoli

What you heard is not wrong at all, because previously PSG had tried to recruit Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia for 200 million euros, but Napoli rejected the offer because they only wanted to sell Osimhen at this time and not Kvaratskhelia, apart from Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia is one of the players who have contributed to Napoli in the last few seasons, so that Napoli is very aware that if they sell both of them now it will actually disrupt the stability of their squad next season, because currently Napoli actually has big ambitions with Conte next season to be able to win the Scudetto again.




Previously, it was rumored that Kvaratskhelia would also leave Napoli after he received a smaller salary than Osimhen so far, but this news has been denied by Kvaratskhelia agent, saying that his client has high loyalty to Napoli at the moment, although many teams want to recruit him and it seems that currently Kvaratskhelia has received a better  salary offer from Napoli, so he prefers to stay rather than follow in the footsteps of Osimhen who really wants to leave Napoli.

Paris Saint-Germain appear to have joined Barcelona in the race to try and sign Nico Williams from Athletic Club.

The Athletic report the Ligue 1 side “have already made tentative contact” as they explore the possibility of trying to bring the Euro 2024 star to the Parc des Princes.

As we all know by now, Williams has a release clause in his contract thought to be around €58 million and he is expected to move on this summer.

Barcelona seem to be leading the race and are hoping of tempting the Spain forward to Catalunya to play alongside Lamine Yamal.

Fabrizio Romano is reporting Barca are “increasingly confident” of agreeing a contract with Williams and will hold more talks this week.

Barca’s biggest obstacle is being able to finance the deal, although president Joan Laporta has insisted the club are confident they can afford a move for Williams this summer.

Based on my own observation PSG will win this fight because they have what it takes to get him, and am sure they will not give up since Mbappe has left they will make sure they have a young super star to take that name, Barcelona are facing financial crisis. what your thoughts on this?

Napoli was confirmed that they won't sell both players because lost them will have any effect to Napoli performance for next season and about Kvaratskhelia apparently Napoli will give their priority to hold this player because Kvaratskhelia was included to Conte plan for next season so although PSG was offering huge money as transfer fees but that doesn't make Napoli tempted to sell him and actually if Napoli is interested to sell Kvaratskhelia they will gets much profit from this transfer because it says PSG is willing to buy Kvaratskhelia with 100 million

The latest news about Kvaratskhelia is he was give his statement regarding this rumour that Kvaratskhelia will be stayed at Napoli and will give his commitment for Napoli although PSG was offering the contract with huge amount of money as the salaries but Kvaratskhelia says he didn't interested to moved to PSG and playing at Ligue 1 and the latest rumours about him is Napoli is preparing for a new contract for Kvaratskhelia and in the new contract Kvaratskhelia salary will be increased until 7 million per year

And for Osimhen actually he insist want to leave Napoli this summer because Osimhen feel this is the right time to find new club but i was a bit tired to follow his transfer progress because although PSG is the strong candidate club who possibly will gets him but PSG hasn't officially to bid for him even the negotiation between Napoli and PSG seems deadlock even there is possibility this transfer will be failed because Napoli don't want to lowering his price

Victor Osimhen is a player with good energy and strength and for his great performance for Napoli, he can still do better at PSG even if he doesn't can't play like Kylian Mbappé. The reason why PSG looks so empty now is because of their over reliance on Mbappé and they found it difficult without the France International footballer and if not that Kylian Mbappé needs to win the champions league to boost his profile and football career, PSG would have been the best club for him because he had no competitor but now that he's gone to Real Madrid and considering the fact that Real Madrid already has great players like Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham, Rodrigo and others so it will be very competitive for Kylian Mbappé at Madrid because before he will become more visible there he needs to play better than the already existing super stars which is going to be difficult because Real Madrid is already in good shape before Kylian Mbappé arrived.

However, for now Victor Osimhen should replace Mbappé at PSG only then will the club feel a bit relieved then they should also consider making other good signings to back up Victor Osimhen because only him can't be able to do the Job alone as Mbappé did, it's really gonna be a tough season for PSG but Luis Enrique should be well prepared for next season because it ain't gonna be easy.

PSG should have no problem recruiting these two players if PSG really needs them. I know PSG is the club with the most ambition to bring in quality players even though they have high prices, but it seems that now PSG is starting to take issue with unreasonable prices, they are starting to negotiate at prices it's natural especially after they lost Mbappe and didn't get any profit even though PSG bought Mbappe very expensively at that time and this player should have been an investment like Neymar and Mesi but apparently not, sometimes other clubs take advantage of PSG's wealth so clubs offer high prices for him. So it is very natural that currently PSG is still considering bringing in expensive players.

It seems that these players are interested in joining PSG, so PSG just has to decide whether to buy these two players or not or choose to sacrifice some of their players to replace these players.

So far Monaco has been quiet without any movement in the summer and I doubt whether they can perform well again next season with the squad depth they have. Actually, I'm still quite optimistic if no parts are changed, but the problem is that now the competitors have started to improve with the arrival of several players who will change the course of the game.

So it is certain that Monaco will not be able to get second place again and will likely be knocked out of that position. I think it's quite unfortunate if they still hold the same beliefs and that sometimes boomerangs for them. It feels like this opportunity is just wishful thinking because PSG remains the dominator in Ligue One and last season alone the difference was around 10 points. Monaco should pay attention to other opponents if they still want to secure tickets to the Champions League

But actually, if you look at the squad that PSG currently has, they are still able to dominate League One even without Mbappe. The reason is that the PSG squad is still stronger than the other teams in League One, except when talking about PSG in the UCL League, PSG will really feel Mbappe's departure, they will not be able to face big teams outside League One.

Even though PSG has very strong finances, that doesn't mean they can recruit as many players as possible. Moreover, recruiting Barcelona's future superstar, Lamine Yamal, is absolutely impossible, especially as you said, he is still very young and has the potential to reach Messi's level. On the other hand, Lamine Yamal has high ambitions at a young age to chase as many trophies as possible. If he moves to PSG, his dream will be difficult to achieve. Apart from that, Barcelona will not give up its assets because Lamine Yamal is Barcelona's future. So the opportunity for the next PSG player to replace Mbappe only lies with player Victor Osimhen who will most likely be easy to get.

Spurs being "good" is given, they have been like that forever. However, we need to make sure that we can't deal with something like this forever, we have to realize that things aren't always that easy to handle, things could be different sometimes. Spurs will never win anything, they are just not that good, even in a league that Leicester somehow won, we are not going to see Spurs ever win it, they are just not good enough. No matter who the manager is, no matter who the players are, no matter what the formation or the system could be, they are just not getting it.

The whole joke about them not having any cup at all, is a serious problem for them and anytime they get close to anything, they end up fumbling. Maybe an FA cup would fix all their issues, they would finally have one, but until then, they will not be good.

Hojberg knew this, and that is why he wanted to leave for Marseille, where he will at least have a chance to win the cup, or something, could be europa, basically he wanted to win something or at least play if he is not going to win anything. Not being played at a team that will not win anything is terrible, you may as well play if you are not going to win anything anyway.
