I appreciate Osimhen. He has skill. Still, the man has been wounded. He hasnt been giving his all. And today PSG wants to spend out a hundred million for him. That is not wise corporate behavior. I now understand they are looking at Manchester City's Alvarez. That is a more wise action. younger, less expensive, has not spent half the season on the sidelines. You also had Matias Ramos approaching the ranks. Children have promise. Here then is the deal. Not Osimhen. Pay Alvarez special attention. Send Ramos a try. Create a strong, not dazzling team. You win championships in that manner. I know, believe me, a bit about winning.

Luis Enrique basically has 2 good center forwards in his squad of which Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani are the ones I mean. I don't know what other reason PSG would have for bringing Victor Osimhen into their squad next season if it wasn't because they were not satisfied with the performance of Kolo Muani and Ramos, but I think the two players above really deserve a lot of minutes next season.

Victor Osimhen has so far been linked with Chelsea, but some rumors also suggest that PSG are also interested in him. Of course I would be surprised if PSG actually brought in Osimhen, especially when they already have Kolo Muani and Ramos in their squad.

I think he's still suitable because when it comes to Osimhen's stability with some internal problems with Napoli as well as with the injuries he got last season he managed to score 15 goals in 25 games which is not too bad a performance for a striker.

It's undeniable that his form has dropped a little compared to before when Napoli won the championship but we also have to look at other factors in this case where when Napoli got the Scudetto, Osimhen was always given the best but it's different this season where even Napoli even made fun of him so it's quite natural that his form has suffered.

I think he has good enough potential especially with the resources of PSG if PSG really wants to then it can still be done because finding a productive striker at a young age is still quite difficult and for now Osimhen is a wise choice especially with his tenuous relationship with Napoli then it seems to bring Osimhen to PSG it is not a very difficult thing.

Osimhen would be good, but lets be real, he is nowhere near Mbappe level at all, that dude had one great season, the others were just ok, even good, but not Mbappe level whereas Mbappe ended up playing like a star for 5-6 seasons in a row, and he is still young, so he has been playing awesome ever since he got to PSG.

This is why I believe that Osimhen wouldn't be a bad idea, but spending 100+ million on him makes absolutely no sense, it is the same mistake that Barcelona made, when they lost Neymar, they got 220 million for him, which was a lot of money, but then they spent a lot more to replace him, got so many players, like Coutinho, and overpaid those players and in return they got nothing at all, and that is why they are in debt right now.

If PSG keeps spending these insane amount of money to get players in order to replace Mbappe, then eventually they are going to realize that they are making a mistake, and it is not really smart decision to do that. I would say just keep on improving the team step by step, don't do these big deals, do not spend that much all at once, spend wisely and just do it player by player, small by small, eventually they will have an overall better 11 on the field than what they had with Mbappe, because all other positions will be better.

Honestly speaking Osimhen and the Napoli team was awful last season and I still can't believe they had to struggle to even stay at the top for of the table which they couldn't but it wasn't difficult the season they won the league. I agree with you on Chelsea and PSG as the same but the Chelsea situation is way too much harder to organize them the PSG side and if you check properly they (The Blues) too need a better striker to help the team, while PSG on the other hand just have players who play for money and nothing more and their only achievement like the biggest is the Ligue 1 title aside from that we can't use anything to say PSG is a big team.
Arteta need to get hold of this opportunity because a sharp striker as Victor Osimhen is the kind he need to make the team complete and ready to compete for the title next campaign. When a team lacks that man who give goals I don't see that team progressing or planning to win any title, so I think if Osimhen joins the Gunners he can blend in well and Arsenal play would be faster than before.

Osimien is definitely not an average player and it's best for him to carry on his playing in the  french league where he has all the privilege to atleast won their dosmetic title and even play champions league football at that but if he chooses Chelsea then he will definitely be under the radar as Chelsea haven't developed that strength to actually hold up the pressure in that league and their European football aspiration is always dwindling.

Lille will be fighting in Qualification for the Champions League next season has now signed their third player, after Ethan Mbappe and Ngal Ayel mukau, Lille is lucky enough to be able to get Thomas Meunier from Trabzonspor for free at the moment, Thomas Meunier is a very experienced right-back and has played for 5 different clubs during his career, so that way he will be able to become a recruit who will not only strengthen Lille's defense but with his experience So far, Thomas Meunier will be able to be a mentor for Lille's young players in a match and during training later, his experience in various big teams will at least make Lille's mentality can improve and as we know if currently Ligue 1 is not a strange league for him, so it will allow him easily for adapt with Lille next season.

Btw, reportedly Thomas Meunier agreed to end the cooperation with Trabzonspor after 4 months of playing in the Turkish league, I don't know what is the problem of both parties to end the cooperation, but it seems that indeed Thomas Meunier is not comfortable playing in the Turkish league after a bad incident that occurred in the match between Trabzonspor vs Fenerbache last season.  

Nketiah to Marseille? I hope they don't make that mistake by even paying more than 20 million pounds. No disrespect, but Nketiah has no good talent unfortunately.    A good striker would take advantage of the chances they find nicely. But Nketiah was wasting lots of chances mostly instead. We haven't watched him play for a different team properly yet though but let's see...

I still think Marseille could sign a better alternative to him by spending a similar amount. I would prefer Aubameyang even at his current age to Nketiah.  

Poor coaching system and game tactics can make a player in his top form to decline in form. Osimhen didn't so well last season was because of the new coach and you can see that it also affected the club's performance. I would not blame Osimhen for his declined in performance last season, if he is with a good coach, the coach will improve the skill in him and bring out his potentials.

I would also prefer Osimhen to go to PSG because he is sure of winning titles over there since they don't have a rival. In football titles are what matters and not the club that you are playing in. If he goes to Chelsea, no one knows when he will win EPL title. Also it will be very easy for him to shine more in PSG than Chelsea because he is a goal machine.

You're right, I share what you say in all its aspects, besides I believe that this player deserves all the success in the world and I know that with the right direction and in the right team he can shine, for me he is a player who can become one of the best in the world, because I believe that the essence of every player is the help of a team, and even if you have the best player in the world, if there is not a good team to support him then there will be no success, for some reason PSG did not win the UCL having the best trident in the world, and of course having a good coach, now I believe that history can change, it is a fact that they can dominate Ligue 1, but the other competitions are perhaps much more important for the team.

An advantage for Lille, because Thomas Meunier isn't a player who has never played in Ligue 1, he used to be a PSG player who played there for 4 years from 2016 - 2020 and collected 84 appearances and 8 goals. I don't see any loss from Trabzonspor side, maybe they didn't extend Meunier's contract because of financial problems or didn't see any potential for further investment in Meunier considering that Meunier is already 32 years old.

On the other side, Lille sees Meunier not as an investment but as a foundation that they will use in Ligue 1 next season. Experienced players like Meunier will certainly have a good impact on the team.

The only main advantage playing in PSG over Chelsea will give osimhen will be frequent champions league appearance but when we talk about visibility and advancement in career, he may not get it so well at PSG, Arsenal too would be another superb idea for him if we are considering them in recent times. It's only temporary that Chelsea is now regarded as a mid table team, his presence may be the difference they needed we never can tell so I will encourage him for Chelsea much more than I would for PSG.

In Arsenal too he could be a beacon of hope since it appears he's will be getting good assist which will aid his brilliant finishing style. Osimhen was still doing pretty much better until the whole issues amongst his teammates and him arose in Napoli.

Last season, Osimhen was on the bench a lot due to his injury and according to statistics, Osimhen was still good, but the coach's game was also not very good and caused him to decline in terms of performance In fact, PSG is the right club for him because they have a good winger. good, which can help him score goals, but the price of 100 million is very high for this player, especially since he hasn't really recovered from the injury he suffered, so the price set by Napoli management really doesn't make sense if this negotiation doesn't get a suitable good price PSG should step back and look at Alvarez from Man City.

Alvarez is a very brilliant young player and his price is reasonable so it would be great for Enrique to work with this young player, but it seems that Enrique is serious about making Matias Ramos their striker next season rather than spending big money on Osimhen.

Lamine Yamal is a Barcelona academy player himself and as such, it would certainly be impressive if Lamine Yamal has a great love for staying at Barcelona. But yes, because Barcelona are experiencing difficult financial problems, then I think maybe later Bacelona will also be difficult to keep Lamine Yamal who of course his salary will continue to increase as well. But indeed, at this moment it is still very possible for Barcelona to be able to keep Lamine Yamal, but at some point in the future I think a sale could happen.

But yes, I also agree with Osimhen that of course PSG can still buy Osimhen, because PSG also certainly needs players who have great quality in their squad. But if the aim is to replace Mbappe's role, I think that is not appropriate because of course it is difficult to replace Mbappe's role, who always makes great contributions and results for PSG every season.

It is very difficult for Paris Saint Germain to find new strikers who have proven quality, only a few remain and one of them is Osimhen, while other players have officially joined or stayed at their previous clubs. If Paris Saint Germain intends to look for new players for their attack line, they can do another option, namely promoting young players, yes that is a risk because young players are still not stable, but currently there are not many choices on the transfer list.

If they really want to force themselves to bring Osimhen into the squad, they have to submit a proposal and increase their previous offer. Unless they are not that serious about bringing in Osimhen and will only bring him at the price they want too. The reason is that Napoli are adamant about what they want. Even if they negotiate, I don't think the price will drop too much from the price they set at the beginning.

Osimhen didn't produce as brilliant stats this season as the previous one. I'm sure Napoli's president will consider lower offers for him. But I don't see any difference between Chelsea and Paris Saint Germain. Chelsea have turned into a mid-table team in recent years. It might be better for his career to achieve local success in the French Ligue 1 with Paris Saint Germain instead of struggling as a mid-table team with Chelsea.On the other hand, I am sure he would love to play for Arsenal under Arteta. In the last two seasons in the Premier League they have been in the title race until the end. They could have won one of them if they had a good striker. Maybe Osimhen can do that for them.

Osimhen can fit in quite alright but with how we have seen PSG play in recent years it doesn't show that they're going to be title contenders aside from the domestic league and with Osimhen on the mix he has it all, he is strong fast and doesn't wait for the ball to be cooked up for him before he can get involved, no but PSG as a club is the problem, they can't get him what every good striker wants. Enrique doesn't have any striker that's better than Osimhen I must say and if eventually the deal pulls through I believe he'll make Osimhen more better and we know the player is eager to play at top level and the one season magic Osimhen had with Napoli is not the end, that alone is a step up to say he still has more to offer but I still don't think PSG is best for him, to me they are not effective when it comes to Europe competitions.

My opinion is that PSG should look for a stronger forward than Osimhen. He showed one good season, all the rest were very mediocre, so this suggests that he is not a very stable forward, so for Enrique he may not be the best option. PSG needs a forward who can fit into the team well and start scoring from the first matches. And Osimhen can be one of PSG's forwards, but I wouldn't count on him as the main striker. PSG are very delaying the acquisition of new forwards, maybe Enrique is going to count on someone who is already in the team, and is focusing on this, because the off-season will not last very long, and the new player will still need to adapt to the new team, so it also takes time.

The clause of more than 200 million euros is too expensive and even very expensive for a young player like Lamine Yamal. However, I would actually be happier if Lamine Yamal was not sold by Barcelona so that the Barcelona team itself does not lack great players like Lamine Yamal. As for PSG itself, I also think that Oshimen is a very suitable option for them because Napoli themselves also intend to release this player if the price is very suitable and is not offered at a lower rate by other teams.

Mason Greenwood has been seen training with Marseille and it looks like he can't wait to start the new season. As is known, Marseille only needed to pay 30 million euros for Mason Greenword and the transfer process went smoothly with Manchester United. He is one of the players that coach De Zerbi wants and he doesn't care about the player's past.

I think this mindset is very good and indeed De Zerbi is famous for his observations about the talents of the players he is targeting and Mason Greenwood can be said to meet his criteria. Even at Brighton he was able to unleash the potential of all his players so that so many players could be sold after making a lot of money for the club at that time. Now Mason Greenwood has another challenge in an unfamiliar league and I don't think he will have any difficulty considering he has experienced the atmosphere in the EPL and La Liga before.
