They want promising young players like Nico Williams, but their budget is tight. Frenkie or Lewandowski may have to be sold to keep the lights on. Its unfortunate, but business. Undoubtedly, Olmo is a great player. Barcelona is always about money. Can they pay him? Can they make the deal without borrowing more? Big question.

PSG has plenty of money, but they dont always spend it wisely. Mbappe's loss has them scrambling. Is Osimhen worth Napoli's asking price? He's a superb striker. We'll observe. Transfer window is a ride. These teams' decisions now will impact their season.

I agree with you, not all players only think about the trophies they can win with the club, especially those who are still young, I think they consider more the playing minutes they will get. because when they get playing minutes and they can improve their performance, then sooner or later they will be fought over by big clubs that usually win a title. Many players start from small clubs but they can show their best abilities, then they can be in big clubs and win many titles.

Let's call Cristiano Ronaldo, he was glanced at by Ferguson when Manchester City faced Sporting and Ronaldo was able to show his good game. Until finally he was at Manchester United and won many trophies, it didn't stop there, he also made a record as the most expensive player when he moved to Real Madrid, and we know what he could achieve with Real Madrid at that time. That's why playing minutes are very important for young players.

Euro 2024 turns Nico Williams into a new superstar who is being fought over by several top European clubs, including PSG and Barcelona as the top teams who want the services of the Atletic Bilbao player. Nico Williams is likely to join Barcelona, ​​although PSG can buy him at a higher price. Barcelona wants to pair Nico Williams with Lamine Yamal, the chemistry between the two that was formed at the Euro yesterday is considered to be able to lift Barcelona performance next season. However, so far, there has been no official news regarding the transfer rumors.

So far there has been no official news regarding the transfer rumors, while PSG is certainly trying hard to find talented players after Mbappe left. PSG efforts to recruit Osimhen have also not found a bright spot, they can change targets by recruiting Nico Williams. Sometimes abundant finances are not a guarantee to recruit any player, even though the price of 58 million is certainly very easy for PSG. Overall, joining PSG allows Nico Williams to win trophies every season, but with Barcelona it can make him develop even more.

Sometimes players not only consider their interest in a club base on their capability of lifting trophies with the so club, but also considers where they will have a good playing time, visible contributions to the team because their journey doesn't just end at lifting trophies, but some are aiming to become the best player in the world and don't want a case where they will be left on the Bench. Therefore, Nico Williams will most likely be lost in the current Madrid team with the kind of star players in there, So if I'm in his place, I would think of going to PSG or consider going to any other interested club in the premier where he will have a good opportunity to display his talent, and Arsenal in this case would be a fantastic choice for Nico Williams.

Let's see, Barca is a big club. after all, the option of selling players has been discussed to get cash injection for Barcelona in this summer window. some of the names you mentioned have been linked to be released, plus Raphinha is also not free from rumors of being released. however, so far there has been no definite report regarding what Barcelona will do. by the way, what we really prioritize in the discussion in this thread is PSG.

Talking about Paris Saint-Gemain, currently PSG is starting to be active and is rumored to be aggressively recruiting the players they are targeting. the matter of Joao Neves will be completed soon after reaching an agreement, as reported by Romano. now their target is other players, yes as we have discussed before. in order for PSG to compete in the Champions League, Enrique and the club have been eyeing several names in this transfer window. I have not received the latest information regarding Nico Williams, but I am quite sure that Osimhen will eventually go to Parc des Princes. although currently Napoli is still stubborn with setting a high price, but it seems they need a large cash injection. therefore, the option of releasing Osimhen will give them a fresh injection. However, PSG are also rumored to be adamant with what they have offered Napoli. It is only a matter of time before Enrique or PSG look for other alternatives as their target in this transfer window.

 

PSG have much better financial opportunities, so if they want to get Nico Williams, they can get ahead of Barcelona. And I even think that now for PSG he can become the number one target, since everything is complicated with Osimhen and it is obvious that after the Euro, Williams is the top player in the transfer market. Enrique expressed his desire to see this player in PSG and they are ready to double Barcelona's offer for Williams on salary, which should be a weighty argument for Nico.

Barcelona is very serious about bringing in Nico Williams and personally the player does want to join so he can reunite with Yamal. Then if I'm not mistaken another rumor says Barcelona is eyeing Olmo his performance in the Euro made Olmo wanted by many clubs. So Barcelona is trying to recover finances with what? selling players or taking another loan to pile up debt. There is no choice for this club other than to reduce the number of players with quite expensive market prices, one of which is Frankie De Jong, Lewandowski, and most recently Vitor Roque who will join the Saudi Arabian club. PSG without a replacement for Mbappe, then next season this club will be below standard. I will not expect much from this club even though the finances are stable but the matter of managing PSG player purchases is quite bad. And for Napoli who are still selfish and want to set a high price, the victim is Osimhen. Failed to leave and at the club will definitely be ostracized by Conte on the bench.

If Nico Williams is not a fan of Barcelona, he will choose another club like Real Madrid or big clubs in Premier League. He will have better opportunities to win titles in Real Madrid than in Barcelona where crisis is on going.

In Premier League, he will receive good salary at big clubs, explore a new league and great match atmosphere there. Moving to Barcelona is like taking high risk and hope that Barcelona will improve in future, from player quality, performance on field, win titles and improve their finance. It is less certain future than what Nico can have with Real Madrid or big clubs in Premier League.

If Barcelona continue to have bad financial and player transfer management, their finance won't be improved but oppositely will get worse.

Malang Sarr has been officially introduced by Lens and he was a free agent previously at Chelsea. Lens got a strong center-back to overcome the problems that existed last season and it is hoped that Malang Sarr can give his best performance for Lens. His contract will run until 2026 and at least Lens does not need to spend a lot of money to be able to pay him.

In addition, last season Malang Sarr was also loaned to Monaco and this was his comeback to a different club in Ligue One. At Chelsea, he was not used at all, but seeing the minutes he played with Monaco, it seems that this player is quite promising. Let's see if Lens will be able to reduce the number of goals they conceded considering that last season they conceded so many goals due to the lack of a strong defense.

It sounds like Barcelona's current financial problems are quite critical if their own fans have stepped in to raise funds to be able to get a player like Nico Williams. But if Nico Williams himself is not so tempted by a lot of money, of course the more appropriate choice is to be in Barcelona, ​​but if he is a player who is more concerned with money, it is clear that he will choose PSG if the team that is currently hosting him really wants to release the player to one of the teams you mentioned. And can you be very sure that Barcelona can get the player Nico Williams after the fundraising by his own fans?

Nico Williams is a player who managed to steal a lot of attention after the Euro ended because his performance during the Euro was very impressive, so it is not surprising that many big clubs want to recruit him, especially Barcelona and PSG. Barcelona does have financial problems, even many fans have raised funds to help the club recruit Nico Williams. On the other hand, Nico Williams is also unlikely to prefer to go to a club that does not have a UCL history like PSG, so I think even though PSG has a lot of money, they will not be able to get the player.

PSG is sometimes funny, PSG doesn't want anyone until Barcelona wants them, this proves that PSG does not have the expertise to see the potential of players, they always imitate other clubs when making player transfers. In other words, they try to be like Barcelona in everything, but there are levels.

PSG has no legacy, identity and they will never win the UCL League, maybe this is one of the factors Nico will reject PSG's offer and choose Barcelona. Because not all players want big money, but a winning project and that is in Barcelona. PSG themselves cannot offer that, but they will remain a mediocre club, of course players who have skills and are still young will definitely think twice about joining PSG.

He actually perform well for two seasons, but still, you can't really sure he will play as good as before by just looking at the two seasons history. There have been many good players who perform for few seasons, but after they move to other teams, their performance are flops e.g. Antony, Mason Mount, Caicedo etc.

Unfortunately signing popular players are not enough to win Champions League, PSG has full of star players, but they don't have any chemistry. If strengthening your own team not enough to become a champion, they should need to make their opponents weaker.

And one of those potential players is Nico Williams so it is not wrong for PSG to target him at this time because from some forms of struggle a team that was once inhabited by more star players is to continue trying to get potential players with different levels of talent from other players. Besides, what you said is also true because I think it will not be accurate enough if we compare Nico Williams with Kylian Mbappe who has won more achievements and trophies during his time at PSG (except the UCL trophy).

Competition to win Nico Williams is certainly tough thing for Barcelona if they have to compete with PSG because it is clear that PSG finances are much better than Barcelona and when an offer is made, the amount given by PSG can certainly exceed what Barcelona can provide.
In addition, regarding salary, I sure PSG can provide a more appropriate amount along with number of bonuses if Nico Williams is able to play well there and can make big contribution to every success of PSG in the future, this is an ambiguous competition for Barcelona.
Moreover, with Barcelona current condition, it can certainly make it difficult for Nico Williams to achieve success, he will only get pressure and also have to spend more time to be able to at least win the title.
I think if Nico Williams wants to be able to play with better team and can develop more quickly to achieve success in winning the title, then the decision is to join PSG.

PSG Football Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has spent a lot of money on his club's players. Basically his only objective was to win the Champions League for which he brought together the biggest stars in the world but they failed to achieve that goal. One of France's best strikers, Kylian Mbappe, was first linked to PSG, then PSG targeted Brazilian striker Neymar Jr. They also bought him for a record price then brought in Argentine striker Lionel Messi. Not only that, they bought Spain's Sergio Ramos to strengthen their midfield. Despite adding so many good players and experienced complete players to the team, PSG could not shine in the Champions League.

Now, however, none of the three strikers Mbappe, Neymar Jr. and Messi are in this team. Mbappe recently joined the Real Madrid club. The team is now completely devoid of strikers as they has joined different clubs.

PSG entered the negotiations first by signing Neymar to their club from Barcelona for a significant transfer fee. We all know what this club has done in exchange of money. PSG have brought together the best stars in the world for money but they still haven't succeeded. Their activities remind us that spending money alone does not make a team complete but spending the right money in the right place is very important here. PSG brought together the best stars in the world and PSG sold those stars, now PSG is a starless team. But since they have enough financial support, they can organize their team again as per the plan. Now they have a good quality manager in the club under whom PSG can do well if they plan and spend money properly. The biggest blow for them this season is that they lost their key star Mbappe but on the contrary we haven't seen the club sign anyone else so far. But the new player must be signed otherwise they cannot survive in the competition

Nico Williams is promising for the future because he's tender and developing, growing to be an important player for Athletic Bilbao. Wait a second, are you for real? We can't use just one season wonder compared to Kylian Mbappe tender age when he made it to the first team under Didier Deschamps first team XI in France, he played vital role and won the 2018 World Cup.  Kylian Mbappe have been very consistent and promising in all seasons and moving to the Spanish side just mean another season for Paris Saint-Germain to struggle. PSG will sign any potential player available.

The thing is that, while they may not all be amazing in value, when you combine them together, it becomes a good amount. Like for Sancho, they can get 30 million, and for Maguire they can get 15 or so, Lidelöf another 15, and Mctominay could be 20-25, and Wan Bissaka could be 20. Combine them all, and suddenly we are talking about 100+ million in possible income. That means not only they will be able to afford Nico, but they could also end up with paying more than what PSG would be willing to offer as well. Not saying that PSG can't afford to pay more, they can, but if United offers 80 to Bilbao, and 20 to Nico, then PSG will see that it's useless to spend that much on that player, they can, just won't, because why would they.

And United can say that they got him for free basically, just in exchange of their useless players as well. I didn't even include Antony, because I think that dude is so bad that I doubt you would be able to sell him for free, just in exchange of a team paying him that salary, he doesn't worth half of his salary, so that is why it would be near impossible to sell him. In the end, I believe that we can see United and PSG could battle that hard, and things could get very lit.

It is not confusing if you ask me, rather it is Napoli that are complicating this deal, first of all they wanted to offload Osimhen, as long as they wanted him they need to reduce the amount they put out on him, they can’t have bought, Osimhen is on a very big wage load and that’s a problem if you look at the price tag again. Buy if the actual market price is slash down then the club interested can maybe consider the deal. If we even analyze this from PSG’s perspective they already have more than enough strikers and are looking just to add power house to it, they are simply just looking at getting Osimhen now as they think he will be a bargain at the moment, but with this amount that Napoli has set on him they will rather stick to their own players than just overspend.


There is no denying the fact that Aubameyang was a key figure in the Marseille attack and will be greatly missed, now let’s relate to the player Eddie Nketiah, your argument is that he didn’t had goals while at Arsenal, yes you’re right but if you ask me he is definitely not going for be a bad signing. First the major problem for his lack or goals was definitely because he wasn’t the main striker for Arsenal all this years, this was same thing that Lacazette face at Arsenal before tearing it up at OL. Same goes for Aubameyang, he had a very bad time at Chelsea due to lack of game time and he delivered when Marseille trusted him later. Give Nketiah more playing time and I think he will definitely deliver

Napoli's clause which is not too reasonable in terms of price makes this hampered and PSG also does not want to be too ambitious even though it seems they want Osimhen but with the price set certainly makes PSG become more controlling and more restrained.

Napoli need money and have to do it quickly if they still expect a reunion between Conte and Lukaku so it is Osimhen who can be an option to make it happen well, especially forcing Osimhen to stay at Napoli with the conditions he already wants to leave is also not very good so I think they should try to provide a more reasonable clause.

The SPL is likely to be the last option for Osimhen because looking at his ambition it looks like Osimhen still wants to be in European Competition because he realizes that with the SPL at his age it is just throwing away performance even though in terms of finance he will not have difficulty because the SPL and MLS are the biggest money fields for modern football this time.
