The best teams comes with relevant biddings for their targeted players. The Seria A is top league and only the strong smart ones are able to survived this season. The age range of these players are incredible but it's very important for the club because they've set the required standards. Napoli have strong hold on the Nigeria international, they have set the basic necessities to ensure he's very important and not vulnerable to injuries. Victor Osimhen is weigh smarter than Romelu Lukaku when it comes to comparison between both top strikers.

Mehdi Taremi is 32 years old now and as such, it doesn't seem strange when Serie A teams buy old players, because the game in Serie A still seems suitable for old players. But at least, considering his old age, I personally believe that Mehdi Taremi will probably only be used as a backup player. Even though he might be included in the starting eleven, but it seems like that's just a strategy because in the middle of the match of course players will be replaced. Also regarding Depay, it doesn't seem feasible to ask for a high price because after all, at this moment Depay is not tied to any team.

Thus, Depay should just accept Inter's offer, because it would be very good for Depay to be at Inter, which still promises to win trophies in the future. However, if we consider the new players who are expected to improve the team's performance, the fact is that these hopes cannot fully come true. Because after all, new players also need adaptation and of course, it will still be difficult so they still need time to be able to make a good contribution to the team.

To be plain you're right because if you pay close attention to how he displayed for Belgium in the European Championship, to simply put it, he had a subpar performance. Is that what they want to win the Seria A Scudetto League Competition? Well, Antonio Conte knows what he wants from Romelu Lukaku, but whoever keeps Victor Oshime and Romelu Lukaku and asks who they'll want to work with and still picks up Romelu Lukaku must be baised or has a backward mentality.

Being a one legged striker disqualifies him for me honestly. Like I said, Conte has obviously worked with him during the league campaign they had together with Inter Milan. Victor Oshime wants to move and is simply pushing out for the move.

Victor Oshime currently brings what Romelu Lukaku cannot bring, give Oshime five chances and he'll score four out of the five, do the same with Romelu Lukaku and he'll convert two. ( He did with Belgium, I don't need stress so much on it ).

If Napoli fails to sell out Victor Oshime this transfer window, they'll be on the losing side because he'll obviously not play for Antonio Conte next season and it'll reduce his value. They should play the long game smartly.

For now yeah Lukaku and osimhen are on different levels, I agree that osimhen looks better but we also have to compare the age of these two players which has an impact on their performance. Romelu Lukaku will enter retirement in the next 2-3 seasons while Victor Osimhen still has a career at the age of 25 so it is not an exaggeration if we say Osimhen is better. Napoli are targeting Lukaku as a replacement for Osimhen because he has enough experience in Serie A and is also cheaper it means Napoli get players and money, sometimes clubs have to take strange decisions when they need enough funds well this is the situation that Napoli is experiencing, unfortunately the negotiations did not go as expected..

Inter Milan recently bought Mehdi Taremi from Porto to have a better performance in the net season however they won the Serie A title but it seems Inter Milan aims for higher targets and they don't want to lose their good form. That's why Inter Milan is about to hire another forward for the next season. It seems they want to hire Depay.
Depay asked for five million euros to play for Inter Milan which is a huge amount of money for any payer.

Well if Lukaku goes to Napoli then Napoli would have a Wonderful player who is very talented , he drags marks, scores goals and I think the only vulnerability is resistance, but even so he can hold out for a long time for 90 minutes, but not in all games, so it is one of the things that the coach can consider, I think that if these movements happen it is for the benefit of the player and to help the team , honestly I would like to see Napoli shine and not be seen as what many Imagined, that it was pure luck.

Napoli continue talks with Chelsea for Romelu Lukaku

Intermilan has now released several players who did not have much contribution last season, thus providing space for Intermilan to recruit many new players, Mehdi Taremi is one of the 5 players they have currently recruited, Intermilan managed to get Mehdi Taremi for free so I think they have a lot of money to save at the moment considering his market value has touched 10 million euros, his arrival will certainly add to the attacking options for Inter Milan next season even though he is no longer young but Taremi is still a quite sharp striker , apart from trying to defend their status as Scudetto winners last season, Intermilan of course wants to try to compete again in the Champions League after they failed to do so last season and that is a reason for their recruit many new players right now.
Recruiting Depay for 5 million euros?
I don't think Intermilan needs to do something silly by bringing in a striker whose performance and career has fallen in my opinion at the moment.

Inzaghi succeeded in building Intermilan back into a strong team during the time he was coaching, so it clearly made him even more ambitious to bring Intermilan not only to glory in Serie A but of course he wanted to get his first Champions League trophy as a coach after previously failing to get it as a player, Intermilan who failed last season in the champions league, they will definitely try to continue to strengthen the squad they currently have to be able to compete for the champions league title next season and I also hope they can perform better after previously failing in the final in the 2022/23 season.

I don't think that Journalists and the media are hyping Osimhen because we are not talking about history but about the present. Osimhen is stronger and better than Lukaku currently because he is much younger than Lukaku and still have a lot of time to play in Europe. This is what clubs look at and now your achievements since history.

Osimhen was among the players who made Napoli to win Seria A for the first time and that is a great history for Osimhen and that was two season ago. This is the reason why Osimhen is more valuable than Lukaku currently.

It is clear that Inter Milan will set a higher target after they managed to become champions last season, the first is they have a target to defend the title and the other is they want to talk a lot in the Champions League. So they are trying to build a stronger foundation than last season. In my opinion, Inter Milan is now the team that is most ready for next season. Apart from the fact that they managed to perform well last season, the players they have are also quality players, plus some additional players that will make them even stronger. I will not be surprised when they manage to defend the title, and I will also not be surprised when they show something extraordinary in the Champions League next season.

Lukaku's wealth of experience in scoring goals with different clubs is extraordinary and I still remember that at Manchester United he was able to become a striker who met the club's needs. Actually, the comparison between the two players is very far when it comes to experience, it's just that journalists and the media are too often frying Osimhen so that his market value has increased unreasonably.

If it's only to meet Napoli's interests, I think Lukaku is enough and it has been proven that his performance at Italian clubs has always been disappointing, so maybe this is what underlies Napoli's desire for him. For Osimhen, he should have known what he had to do if he joined PSG, especially since he had previously defended Lille so that his performance could still be adjusted to the league environment. Losing his quality is certainly not what Osimhen will get and on the contrary it will make it much easier for him. Now for the Premier League team, I think most of them are currently only interested and are not fully convinced to bring in Osimhen, let's see if Osimhen goes to PSG, then his chances in the future to go to the Premier League will be much greater.

First, your stats for Osimhen's goals is not accurate. He has scored 76 goals for Napoli so far and he scored 17 for Lille in France, not 14, but that's btw.
Since Osimhen has not played up to half of the games Lukaku has played, you can't compare just by goals. You have to use the goal ratio. If you notice Lukaku played 278 games in the epl and scored 121 goals, and Osimhen has scored 76 in 108 games, that shows that Osimhen's ratio is more impressive than Lukaku's.

If you compare Lukaku's serie A to Osimhen's, Osimhen is still better because I'm pretty sure 76 goals in 108 games is better than 70 goals in 129 games.

When people say Osimhen hasn't proven himself, I don't understand what that means. He scored 17 goals for Napoli despite them having one of the worst league seasons in a long time, he scored 31 before that. We've watched him perform time and again but you still say he hasn't proven himself, what more do you want him to do? And don't tell me the "because he has played in the epl" bullshit, because currently, the serie A is just as difficult as the EPL.

In my opinion, Osimhen will do just fine in PSG. They don't have a striker better than him and they don't have Mbappe anymore that the whole team looks up to. Osimhen is not the kind of striker that waits in the box like Lukaku, so he'll excell in a lot of big clubs. As long as the club has good wingers and midfielders, he will be fine. And I PSG he'll have way less pressure on his shoulders and that can be better for a player.

Inter Milan recently bought Mehdi Taremi from Porto to have a better performance in the net season however they won the Serie A title but it seems Inter Milan aims for higher targets and they don't want to lose their good form. That's why Inter Milan is about to hire another forward for the next season. It seems they want to hire Depay.
Depay asked for five million euros to play for Inter Milan which is a huge amount of money for any payer.

I think there is no need to explain Lukaku statistics with Osimhen because both of them come from different generations. In terms of experience, Lukaku is clearly superior, but Osimhen future is still very long and now he has managed to attract the interest of big clubs after showing impressive performances. Your concerns about Osimhen are too big, he is not the type of player who easily gives up on circumstances, his motivation continues to grow and of course he wants to be the best striker.

PSG interest is certainly a good thing for his career, but there has been no agreement between Napoli and PSG regarding the continuation of Osimhen transfer. His strength, speed and ability on the ball will make it very easy for him to adapt to another big club. He has to prove that he is capable of securing his place as a first-team player after moving from Napoli, I am very confident that he is capable of doing and beating the statistics that Lukaku has recorded.

The numbers are the best indicators we can count on to assess between Lukaku and Osimhen which of these players is the better player.

Looking at Lukaku's case

Premier League

Games: 278
Goals: 121
Assists: 36

These are data from all the seasons he played in the Premier League, when he was at his peak

Serie A:

Games: 129
Goals: 70
Assists: 21

Looking at Osimhen's case

Serie A:

Games: 108
Goals: 65
Assists: 16

Ligue 1

Games: 27
Goals: 14
Assists: 5

In my opinion, in terms of career performance comparison, Lukaku is much better, but looking at the current season comparison, Osimhen is better, but Osimhen has not yet proven whether or not he can be a good player after leaving Napoli, something that in my opinion could be a disaster for Osimhen if he leaves Napoli. I say this because at Napoli he is the center of attention, even during games the tendency of his teammates is to pass the ball to Osimhen. But that will not happen when he plays for a team like PSG, then he will gradually lose importance, which is why in my opinion it would be good for Osimhen to stay at Napoli until his contract ends and improve his performance even more so that he attracts the attention of big teams in the Premier League, I am talking about Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool. Teams like Chelsea and Manchester United would be career destroying.

Lukaku is older than Osimhen and he has big weakness in his playing style and skills. These weaknesses, lack of ability to contribute to the team tactic when he does not receive good support, pass, assist from teammates are one of reasons why he failed in Manchester United and Chelsea. Osimhen is younger, faster and able to contribute more for general operation of a team. The Nigerian striker is a better investment for future than Lukaku who only can meet short term requirements like 2 or 3 more seasons.

They can sell Osimhen and use part of that money to buy Lukaku or another striker. I agree that it is not smart to sell Osimhen to Chelsea and add Lukaku into the deal as an exchange player. Chelsea can want to do this deal that helps them to save transfer cost but Napoli won't want this one. They know that Osimhen can be sold at better price to other clubs and if don't have Lukaku, they can aim at other strikers as replacements for Osimhen.

I quite appreciate the enthusiasm that Lukaku has, who prefers to continue playing in Europe rather than choosing the large amount of money he can get from the Arab club that once made him an offer. The fate of this player in several seasons has always been uncertain when it comes to the transfer market. But in the end he always ends up being loaned out. but he can always bring maximum results to the clubs that borrow his services. At Inter Milan and at Roma it is enough to prove that this player is indeed one of the very good strikers in Serie A. But unfortunately he still doesn't get a place at Chelsea. So always try to sell it. And currently Chelsea is also in talks with Napoli. But the problem is in terms of cost. because Napoli are still waiting for Osimhen's transfer to be successful. But until now, Osimhen seems to be having difficulty finding a club willing to pay the costs of releasing him from Napoli. Even PSG is reluctant to pay the player's release clause, which is very high.

I don't believe Lukaku is a better player than Osimhen currently. Osimhen gives you more than just goals, he plays with the team. He joins in the build up of the attack, he's also a hard worker. Lukaku was part of the reason Belgium got eliminated in the Euros. He waste too any balls. Any ball that gets to his feet gets wasted. I agree he knows how to score goals, but if he's not in a goal scoring position he can't do anything with the ball. We saw how instrumental Osimhen was for Nigeria in their afcon, I can't say the same for Lukaku in the Euros. Osimhen may not be an elite striker that can beat players and score, but he can score and he's currently better than Lukaku.
I believe Napoli have already told Conte they plan if selling Osimhen that's why he doesn't count on him. If Lukaku was that good Chelsea would have kept him after buying him for 100 million.

I believe the reason Napoli is finding it hard to sell Osimhen is because of the price tag they put on him. Nobody would buy Osimhen for 150 million. They can sell for about 80-90 million max. Chelsea are interested in a direct swap deal but Napoli wants more more. The same thing that made PSG pull out of the sea. I think it's looking like Osimhen will remain at Napoli.

Osimhen is a player who will progress, and has many seasons ahead of him, and Lukaku will most likely soon think about ending his career, or about a transfer to Saudi Arabia, by the way, he speaks very flatteringly about this champion. Therefore, exchanging Osimhen for Lukaku would not be the best decision for Napoli, unless they could sell Osimhen for the money they want to get for him, and buy Lukaku for much less money, because as we can see, Lukaku's market value is not that high now.

Napoli main goal at the moment in selling Osimhen is to get money that can be used to recruit Lukaku and several other players, Seeing Osimhen performance and quality in scoring goals so far is of course a reason for Napoli to set Osimhen at a high price, but at this time In fact, this became a boomerang for Napoli which made other teams withdraw from getting him this time, De Laurentiis realized that there was great interest from PSG in getting Osimhen after they lost Mbappe but  in fact this did not make PSG want to spend a lot of money to get Osimhen from Napoli currently, Napoli who are trying to get money from the sale of Osimhen of course also have to look for other solutions or postpone their desire to get Lukaku currently which is estimated to cost up to 30 million euros.
Many teams expect a lot of money from the sale of their flagship players, but sometimes this actually makes the buyer team back off if the price set is beyond logic like as is what happened with Osimhen at the moment .

I am seeing Napoli's management as to be the cause of a problem if they didn't reduce the amount they are demanding for in his transfer request. PSG's aim seems to have been in the verge of ending due to lack of proper negotiation which means the money Napoli is demanding is much for PSG to pay for Osimhen despite them been despirate to replace Mbappe with him.

Arsenal on the other hand can't spent such huge amount of money for him as a striker even though they are also desperate to sign a striker, and since the new Napoli manger prefer Lukaku over him, I think keeping him will not favor the team; therefore, I will expect him to leave by all means.
