This is another point of view of course. I can't say you are wrong either. Because even Mbappe had six years of his career at PSG and couldn't win a single Champions League title.  

The only positive side for Osimhen could be to win so many Ligue 1 titles with PSG from now on. But even that wouldn't be equal to winning Serie A titles.    I wouldn't like to seem prejudiced about PSG's future though. Who knows maybe they will finally become more successful in the Champions League and surprise us. Anyways, Osimhen could use PSG like a stepping stone to sign for even a bigger team later on at least.

I wonder why Napoli would not accept €100m PSG is willing to give, apart from PSG I don't think any other team in Europe would offer such amount except they want to do a deal with an Arab club for Osimhen which is impossible cause I don't think Osimhen would accept any deal with an Arab club especially at this young age and a career to build in Europe, PSG wants the deal so bad and Napoli cannot afford keeping Osimhen for another season since Conte does not fancy him in his squad, maybe they're trying to force PSG to table an improved offer close to the €130m they're requesting and knowing fully well that PSG really needs him as a replacement for Mbappé they're trying to take advantage of that. Well Osimhen has accepted to leave Italy and move to France but the deal is the problem currently if only he had a year contract left he would've waited one more year and move for free to PSG just like Mbappé did but then Osimhen's contract would be over by 2026, however I still believe he'll leave Napoli this season and PSG is the most likely destination.

Osimhen deal is literally PSG saying 100 is fine, and Napoli wanting 130 and at that point I feel like it's just pure disrespect from Napoli. They are aware that he doesn't worth even 100, let alone 103, and they are just asking it because they think PSG has the money to afford it, that's it, if it was some other team, they would have accepted 80, because they know he doesn't worth that much at all. The fact that they are asking this much is insane.

I really do hope that the deal falls through, Osimhen stays at Napoli, doesn't renew his contract, and leaves for free. That would show Napoli how terrible it is to act in bad faith. When you keep your "best interest" at heart, and screw everyone else, that type of deal makes sure that nobody is willing to deal with you anymore, ever again.

Napoli players would be poached a lot more frequently towards when their deal is over, so whenever they have a good player, everyone will decide to just wait until the contract is over, and offer the player like 40 million or 50 million signing bonus, which is INSANE, instead of pay 100 million to Napoli, much easier choice. They are basically hurting themselves, nobody else, PSG could get someone else easily.

You are right, De Zerbi has been really instrumental in helping Marseille get some transfer pull through, his reputation appears to be and advantage which Marseille has enjoyed in this deals. It's a really impressive one how Marseille looks really intentional about the strength of their team this season and this can be spotted in the quality of signings they are making.

I saw somewhere today Greenwood was already training with Marseille, which is an indication everything has cleared and he will be featured in their games as soon as the season kicks off. I want to believe that Marseille will do much better this season than they did last season considering the effort they are putting, fortunately for them the ligue 1 is gradually looking like a level ground for every team in the league to play equally, so with a good effort there's no limit to how much a team can achieve.

Osimhen is not as good as you think we saw in his season when Napoli couldn't have a good performance and they didn't have a good coach he was totally average player and we didn't see a good performance from this player in this season like we saw in the last season.
That's why and considering his price many teams didn't send him an offer. I think even PSG can find better options to fill the place of Mbappe in the team instead of hiring an expensive player like Osimhen.
 
 

Of course, Osimhen will be guaranteed in the line-up prepared by Luis Enrique because PSG wants to land Oshimen at the Parc de Princes to fill the hole in the striker position left by Mbappe. Osimhen closeness to PSG is even stronger because he was not seen on the Bench when Napoli went on a friendly tour against Montova FC.  Regarding the player's desires, he is more interested in defending PSG than Chelsea or Arsenal, apart from being guaranteed a place in the main squad led by Luis Enrique, he also has the opportunity to win trophies with PSG.

Individual titles such as top scorer can be achieved if he is able to maintain his performance. Enrique is also very experienced in bringing out all the potential of players to show their best performance. Negotiations between PSG and Napoli regarding Osimhen's move are still continuing, it is very likely that this transfer will take place because PSG really want to get him and the player also wants to immediately play for PSG.

There are 3 teams that have now confirmed themselves going to the Champions League next season and they have the opportunity to send 4 teams if LOSC can qualify from the qualifying round. Looking at the progress of Ligu 1 teams in the Champions League, personally I really doubt them, it's not that they are bad but when compared to other teams they will have a very difficult time competing. The only team I trust is Paris Saint Germain, even though they still lose when competing with other big teams.
However, the format of the Champions League next season will change, maybe that could be an advantage for them to be able to talk a lot in the Champions League next season. The draw round will also be very decisive, where if they find the team they will face is said to be easy then maybe they will be able to do things better. However, if their draw is not friendly, then I would not be surprised to see only one team making it to the knockout stages.

Once again, De Zerbi is the key to a successful transfer for Marseille and it seems his connections are extensive enough to gain trust. The reason is that Marseille has just completed a quite difficult transfer and with a little help from De Zerbi, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg finally wants to join Marseille.

Pierre-Emile Højbjerg was brought in from Spurs for around 14 million euros and he will complete the midfield position for Marseille next season. He is no longer young at 31 years old, but his experience will clearly help Marseille's performance. We will see that Marseille will be much better prepared as a team starting next season and not like last season which was quite difficult with the bad results they often got until in the end they had to finish in 8th place in the standings.

Yes, of course Osimhen will be able to appear more in the UCL every season because PSG is Ligue 1 team that always gets tickets and always plays in this most important European competition, but I wouldn't say the opportunity to win the UCL title is easy for him PSG.
But getting titles in several domestic competitions is definitely guaranteed and Osimhen will definitely get it every season, he is really sharp goal machine and this can help PSG overcome difficulties in finding the next goal machine.

Arsenal or Chelsea will certainly never be able to meet Napoli wishes in terms of Osimhen release clause, it is large amount and if there is team from the Premier League that can afford it maybe only Manchester City but they have no interest in Osimhen.
Now the only thing left is PSG, all the rumors about Arsenal offer and also Chelsea offer to exchange players along with additional money have failed to make Napoli let go of Osimhen.
There is still time and we will wait to see what will happen in the future regarding Osimhen future.

For some reasons, I don't really want Osimhen to join PSG. How many careers have they stagnated? I don't know why people still see PSG as an attractive destination. I just think that if you are serious about your career, you shouldn't think of PSG. A striker of his calibre could have played for a bigger or let me say "major" club. I mean he has one last major move in his career and this is it. After this, it's Saudi.

Somehow I think Napoli's stance made the situation tricky in a way that had him no choice. I think he should have left last season when the ovation was loudest.

Does that mean Oshimen will really leave Napoli? I thought PSG had given up on bringing in Oshimen because Napoli was very difficult to negotiate with the French club because Napoli wanted 130 million euros for the Nigerian player but it looks like Napoli reconsidered and agreed to a clause of 100 million euros. If he really goes to PSG, I think this club will continue to dominate League 1 because PSG has found a striker who will replace Mbappe, even though previously I thought that if PSG didn't bring in Oshimen, this club would have difficulty stabilizing its performance when there were no star players in it. so that other clubs in League 1 can compete with PSG but it seems like that is just wishful thinking League 1 looks like it will continue to be a Farmers League.

Yes, as much as they have creativity in that squad, Victor Oshime can score 30 goals in the League 1 Competition next season and I'd say 40+ all the season. He is not one of the selfish players and at the same time, he is a fighter, committed to this game and gives all his best when playing. Victor Oshime, is a good example of a passionate player. I always have that feeling he could be the next African to win the Ballon d'or. ( Same way George Weah did years ago )

Did you see how he helped Napoli win the Scudetto League Competition? I believe they could do same in the Champions League Competition.

That's hundred percent correct, I love Luis Enrique, he is a coach I admire big time. I became a fan during his treble win for Barcelona and I have never doubted his capabilities.
Winning the Champions League Competition should be the priority for every single player that comes into that club, nit just to win the League 1 Competition and be comfortable with it. Well said my man!

If you measure it with last season, of course Osimhen experienced a big setback in his best form, but that is not a reference if we have to assume that Osimhen is only a player who shines in one season. There were many obstacles last season that caused Osimhen's performance to decline and that is what made him want to leave Napoli in this transfer market.
I think PSG should sign him because Osimhen can provide a good boost to PSG front line this season. If you look at the quality he has and also the support from the players at PSG, I'm sure Osimhen will find his best form as the top goalscorer.
However, all decisions are up to PSG. If they are seriously interested, they will definitely recruit him, even at a high price.

Many people think that individual achievements and club achievements are the same so when referring to Napoli's quite poor performance this season they feel that Osimhen is also playing badly but the truth is that his performance has only decreased slightly because of injury problems and problems with the club in the end that make him not very comfortable. But overall for Osimhen's performance, especially for scoring goals, Osimhen's statistics are still quite good because he does have a goal ratio of 0.6 in a match and that is not too far from Osimhen's 0.8 goal ratio in one match when Napoli won the previous Serie A championship.

It just that when the benchmark is only Napoli who are in 10th place for this season, of course there will be many people who think that Osimhen is performing poorly when what happens is that its the club whose performance has dropped dramatically as for individual Osimhen he is still playing very well.

Tin a bid to make their attack super strong, I don't think nketiah is the person for the job, Marseille would have rather try exploring better options, I don't mean to undermine Nkatiah's abilities, just maybe he may get better on arrival to Marseille but for Arsenal to try considering the deal of £20million for me is an indication he's not a very vital player for them even if he's a striker, probably his performance isn't such that Arsenal consider keeping. There's something I know about Nkettiah, and that's the fact that he's not well coordinated, and that makes him utilize his chances only a few of the times when he gets them so for a team like Marseille who's results oriented and may want to exert some dependency on him, they need a better person in that position for such, except he improves and meets up moreover it's not a very tough league like the premier league.

De Laurentiis is smart to make Napoli earn a good amount of money, Osimsen had a perfect performance in the last season and he was linked to many famous teams to play there in the next season while he was about to leave, De Laurentiis decided to extend the contract of Osimhen and this way he earned more money because he knew Osimhen is going to leave and he is not a player to stay in in Napoli for a longer time.
Now because of the offer he has from PSG, Napoli can earn a huge amount of money by letting Osimhen leave the team.

Joining PSG will be better for Osimhen than joining either Chelsea or Arsenal, or any Premier League club.
He will have regular Champions League appearances in PSG than in Chelsea and Arsenal, and he will also have individual awards and records like Golden Boot in the League one with PSG than in the Premier League with either Arsenal or Chelsea.

I think Arsenal has already given up on his deal same as Chelsea too because it’s only PSG rumor that is circulating everywhere in the internet and with the effort PSG is putting, I think they can secure the deal because they are making more effort than other teams because they wants to use Osimhen to replace Mbappe.

I disagree with you on your opinion about the quality of Victor Osimhen. from your analysis of the Nigeria forward, I think you're underrating him and that I want to correct. He had a very good season with Napoli last two seasons that they won the Italian Serie A title of which he finished as the top scorer but failed to replicate same feat last season but that doesn't mean he is a "one season" player. There no many better strikers than Victor Osimhen that are currently available be signed if you ask me because he posseses all the qualities a world class striker needs to possess. Napoli as a team was poor last season and that affected Victor Osimhen but didn't stop him from showing his brilliance in some of the games.
Paris Saint Germaine if they succeed to sign I think will be very glad they did because he's going to score lots of goals from them if he gets the chance

IMO, Osimhen is the ideal striker for any elite team, including Paris Saint-Germain. Unfortunately, last season Napoli experienced a setback. that's why, Osimhen's performance was not as brilliant as the previous season.  Plus, he was injured. The change in coaching for the Napoli squad actually caused this team to experience a decline in its performance. Well, currently Osimhen is being targeted by PSG. From my point of view, Osimhen can be played in the center forward position according to his original position. on the wing, there are Dembele and other players that Enrique can rely on to help Osimhen as a goal getter. Osimhen's presence at PSG could be a difference for the team managed by Luis Enrique, they have a pure striker who can be relied on as a goal scorer. implementing the ideal system, even the one that Enrique usually uses as a pattern for his team.

After all, Lique 1 is not a foreign competition for this Negeria international striker, he previously played with Lille in the 19/20 season. plus, Osimhen can play in the Champions League as he wishes. Now, the problem only lies with Napoli and PSG. especially if we refer to Romano's report, Osimhen has given the green light to PSG. therefore, Paris Saint-Germain plans to move forward with the deal next week. Well, let's wait and see what transfer value PSG proposes to Napoli.

I think Victor osimhen will have other advantages apart from frequent appearance in the champions League competition with PSG if he eventually moves to PSG instead of Chelsea, PSG has been struggling to win the Champions League but they are the dominant team in their domestic league so winning league titles will be easier for Victor osimhen in PSG than in Chelsea and Arsenal and talking about visibility, Mbappe was in PSG and he had all the visibility and recognition despite the inability of his team to lift the champions league so I think Victor osimhen moving there and improving in performance he will have all the visibility and media hypes to get as much awards as possible.
