It seems Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is not going to leave Napoli. He was about to join Real Madrid in the first but they didn't send him any offer and then he was about to join Barcelona but they didn't have enough money to hire Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and then he would leave Napoli anyway that's why he started negotiations with PSG while we were still under contract with Napoli.
Now his agent said he is not going to leave anymore and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will stay in Napoli and play there in the next season since Conte wants to have him in the team.

Such an active player as himself was suppose to play for big clubs like Bayern Munich even Madrid etc but he stayed put at Lazio, becoming one of the best strikers who I believe will never be forgotten. Going to the Turkish side Besiktas I don't think he will make much impact compare to how he played for Lazio and I was expecting a move to the Saudi since age is no longer on his side to give that performance to a club that wants to win a trophy and Besiktas isn't one of the best in the Turkish League, to me I don't really see anything positive in this move to Besiktas.

Maybe PSG will buy Osimhen because they really need a striker since Mbappe left, but the situation depends on PSG because there are several players targeted to fill the front line. The exchange of Lukaku with Osimhen makes perfect sense and is mutually beneficial. Chelsea does not need Lukaku services and has put him on the sales list, but they are still having difficulty finding a club that is ready to use his services.
Napoli who really need fresh funds, can benefit from this scenario, they don't lose players and the money also goes into their account. Napoli must immediately make a decision regarding Osimhen future, if they fail to compete in the top four, perhaps Osimhen price will be even lower.

I think one of the considerations for Ciro Immobile not extending his contract was because he felt he could no longer show competition when he was in Serie A. He is entering the age of 35 and in his performance we saw a fairly deep decline last season with Napoli, so he is well aware with decreased abilities due to his current age.
His decision to leave Napoli was a decision he had taken and he was trying to move his career to a team or league that he thought he was still capable of there. Besiktas is the team he is currently targeting, it is reported that he has signed a 2 year contract. It certainly wasn't easy to make this decision, especially since he has been with Napoli for 8 years.

This is something we discussed some time ago, especially after Napoli became champions and Osimhen was not released even though a team made a high offer. We are talking about 2 things at that time, the first is that when Napoli manages to maintain good performance and at the same time Osimhen can also play well then it is very likely that Osimhen will have a higher price. The second is that when Napoli experiences a decline and so does Osimhen, it will be more difficult to sell Osimhen at a high price. And now of the 2 possibilities the second one is happening.
Napoli should have been aware of the risks or worst possibilities for the player, so they don't need to regret not releasing the player last season when his performance was at its peak.

Ciro can indeed be said to be a legendary Lazio player, but if his performance declines he will definitely be left out. Moreover, he is quite old now so of course his stamina and physique will not be as strong as when he was young. So not extending Ciro's contract was the right step for Lazio to take. The reason is that currently Lazio is bringing in several new players, these players

• Matteo Guendouzi
• Loum Tchaouna
• Tijani Noslin
• Fisayo Dele

These four players are players who play in the midfield and front line. So these four players could be good choices to replace the lost position left by Ciro.
Therefore, I would not be too surprised if Ciro's contract was not extended, because Lazio must have thought carefully when deciding not to extend Ciro's contract. Lazio is already thinking about replacement players, and the four players above could be good enough replacements for Ciro's absence. Apart from that, these four players can be said to be still young so it will make the Lazio squad fresher with lots of young players.

Apart from these four players, Lazio also still has Taty and Gabriele. So we don't need to worry about the squad that Lazio currently has, because I'm sure Ciro's departure will not cause too big an impact for Lazio. Because as we know, even this season, Ciro didn't play much due to injury, but as a result Lazio was still able to consistently perform and finished in 7th place in Serie A.

I read news, weeks ago, that Conte wanted to have Lukaku in his team as part of his plan for a first season in Naples with Napoli. I didn't follow up news on this transfer and didn't know what's happening recently but it's clearly that Napoli will overspend money to get Lukaku. They need a replacement for Osimhen but if it is not a young striker, but old one like Lukaku, they will spend proper budget for him from transfer cost to salary too.

Many big clubs in Europe want to have Osimhen last two seasons and if it's Newcastle United, that is not a more promising destination compares to Napoli. If Osimhen wants titles and chance to play in Champions League regularly like every season, Newcastle United will never be his choice.

No one knows about Napoli's future, of course they initially thought that when they could win the title in the 2022/23 season they would again achieve good results in the following season by retaining their star player and it was very natural that at that time Napoli did not want to sell Oshimen even though many clubs were giving him money. expensive offers but apparently retaining star players alone is not enough to keep their performance stable. The previous coach factor was very influential for Napoli and Napoli experienced a significant decline.

The huge age difference really has a big impact on the future because older players can't stay at the club for long and their selling prices are decreasing and if Napoli bring in Lukaku and someday want to sell him, I don't think Napoli will get a big profit so Lukaku can't. be used as a long-term investment.

Your statement is quite different with other publication about Lukaku and Napoli. I remember that Repubblica newspaper said that Conte has sent the first offer for Lukaku. It is less than half of Lukaku's asking price by Chelsea. It's around €15m. But, Chelsea has rejected it. They want the offer to be closer to Lukaku's price, which is around €44m.
However, there is no further update about this, but i think it was coming from a credible source.

About Osimhen, there was a club that wanted him for 100 millions for him, and it was Newcastle who made such offer, but Napoli has rejected it. Then, Chelsea is now also keen on getting Osimhen from Napoli, While PSG has dropped their interest. Chelsea is now the only party keen to buy Osimhen from Napoli.
If i were Laurentis and i'd take a swap deal for Lukaku and Osimhen. This is the fair choice for both Chelsea and Napoli.

Still, no further news. We have no updates on how well the progress of swap deal between Osimhen and Lukaku by Chelsea and Napoli now.

Speculation about Osimhen future seems to be continuing, until now there is no definite clarity regarding his career next season, whether he will change uniforms or continue to choose to stay with Napoli. The Napoli president seems to remain in his stance, who wants to benefit from releasing Osimhen. After a while, Chelsea is back on the list of teams that want Osimhen, and PSG looks like it will remain the leading team in the Osimhen transfer saga. According to rumors circulating, Osimhen price has been lowered, which is the reason Chelsea have returned their interest. In my opinion, a player of Osimehan caliber can play in any league, he has above average quality, and can adapt smoothly.

If Osimhen is released after Napoli succeeds in becoming champions, there is a possibility that he will get that much money. But when you see Napoli's performance starting to decline, it will have an impact on the price that Osimhen gets too. It seems that getting such an expensive price will be very difficult to do. It is possible that Osimhen will be bought at a price below that. Moreover, the age comparison between Osimhen and Lukaku is very far, the potential that Osimhen provides is still longer than Lukaku. So if Napoli want to let Osimhen go then they have to consider this carefully so they don't regret it later.

A swap is just a good idea for Napoli but for Chelsea it doesn't seem like a good idea. So it is not surprising that Chelsea only wants to focus on releasing Lukaku without any exchange. Because actually Chelsea already has the players they need. And even though Chelsea wants Osimhen, that is not their priority. Osimhen's biggest hope is PSG. PSG can definitely afford a transfer fee at that price. But the problem is, I think all clubs who are interested in Osimhen are still hoping for a bigger discount. Because expensive purchases become very risky if you look at the player's condition, which sometimes becomes good and sometimes declines. Especially after Osimhen often suffered injuries. This is definitely a consideration for all clubs interested in bringing in Osimhen. I don't know how, but my prediction is that Osimhen will not leave Napoli because no one will want to pay him that big a transfer price. Unless Napoli are ready to lower Osimhen's price again.

And chelsea has become the strongest candidate to recruit Osimhen from Partinopei. I was reading yesterday. It said Chelsea is willing to raise their bid for him. They will also add Lukaku to sweeten the deal to recruit Osimhen from Napoli. We know conte wants Lukaku and it will be a great option for napoli to get Lukaku + Cash.
No club wants to pay Napoli more than 100 million for Osimhen. But, if Napoli is willing to sell Osimhen for 100 million, many clubs are interested in recruiting him.

Again, it's also very weird to call napoli was not in a great financial condition. And i think it was not true. Napoli was in crisis during the corona pandemic. But, this Naples team has been massively recovering financially since the pandemic.

I give you the table of napoli's yearly revenue.

Napoli has recorded the highest revenue since a decade ago at 22/23. They are fine, and that's also the reason why napoli refused many big offers for kvarat and osimhen.

They're not in the need of money due to the crisis.

Lazio will lost their key player this summer Ciro Immobile and i think a bit shocked to know this news because Ciro Immobile is important player for this team especially for Lazio forward lines and he spend 8 years with Lazio before decide will not to extended his contract and leave this team however in Lazio Ciro Immobile has successfully to bringing this team to gets Italian Super Cup two times and 1 Coppa Italy and he is also known as the top scorer in Lazio history so he will be leaving Lazio as a legend

indeed in the last 1 year his performance is decline and he was unable to managed his consistency this because Ciro Immobile was quite often to gets the injured which make this season he only can able to scores 7 goals in Serie A but it didn't take long for him to find a new club because next season Ciro Immobile have been agree to playing at Turkish League with Besiktas and it says he will signing 2 years contract with this club and Ciro Immobile is even willing to lower his salary in order to join this club because according to the news he will only received 2 miilion per year

Targeting osimhen is something PSG has actually built an interest in at some point, and now Chelsea trying to still show interest is going to create some confusion around this transfer because at some point they were no longer showing interest in him and now they come to building up interest again with the transfer clause of lukaku is not looking like a really perfect deal but then if it happens that osimhen Fi DS himself in Chelsea, I believe he's going to be able to still do well in the premier league, just like every other player whenever they are been introduced in to a new league different from that which they are used to, they will try to cope from their first few games after which they gets better for those who do, I believe osimhen will do same too.

If Victor Osimhen were to move to Chelsea to play in the premier league I don't think he would have any major problems settling in. in the premier league teams are less defensive and more inclined to play attacking, unlike in Serie A where most teams play a lot of defence, and in recent years Osimhen has shown that he can become an absolute top player. So I believe that in PL he will be able to make a name for himself very quickly.

dispose of unfit players and obtaining proper substitutes are significant actions for any leader such as Motta. These transitions have the potential to foster team development but at the same time they present impediments.

The introduction of new players implies a need for some time to acclimatize themselves and establish good coordination with other team members, this can lead to lowered performance levels at the start of the season. Hence, both fans and leadership should be tolerant during this transitional period in anticipation of these dynamics.

Management needs to be ready to handle injuries as well as player underperformance. However, supporting players mentally is equally important. it keeps them in high spirits and helps them adapt well.

Despite the risks and the unknowns, this change can also bring positive outcomes when properly managed and supported with patience by all sides involved. Juventus has potential success. a possibility if they work as a team altogether without any distinction and surmount challenges jointly.

Osimhen is a young gun; he scores left and right. Lukaku is a proven champion who is familiar with Serie A from the rear of his hand. De Laurentiis is no fool these days. He's not going to let Osimhen travel for peanuts. He is waiting, observing the kind of offers arrive.This is wise corporate behavior. No trouble; they may bring Lukaku back if they receive a king's ransom for Osimhen. Lukaku had a difficult year, undoubtedly, but he will be a monster once more in Italy. He will lead the squad and score goals. And truthfully, Serie A needs a change. It has become monotonous. Lukaku returning will help to revive the excitement. For Napoli, it will be massive; for the league, it will be also big. This is a win-win, people.

Maybe Napoli can reach an agreement with Chelsea. They both transfer Lukaku and get money for it. Chelsea are working hard to build a great team and one of Maresca's targets is Osimhen. I don't know how ready he will be for the difficult atmosphere of the Premier League, but I see Osimhen as qualified enough to compete in the Premier League.

I don't know how true the rumors about Osimhen moving to another club and Conte bringing Lukaku as replacement is right now because the stories of Osimhen leaving the club has been flying around the media but we are yet to see the club coming out to address the issue or the player himself confirming that he is leaving the Napoli team but from the rumors flying around I think the chances of Osimhen leaving the Napoli team is still possible since he can decide to continue his career at Saudi Arabia I believe they will gladly pay the 100 million and even more to secure his signature.

PSG and Chelsea would also be a nice team for him to be but it's unfortunate that the deal with PSG has been inconclusive may be because of the amount involved in his name but Osimhen would have been a good replacement for Mbappe he the team has signed him from Napoli, Chelsea may be interested in Osimhen but I doubt if they will be willing to offer him the 100 million that is at stake in his name.

If in fact PSG and Chelsea are interested in buying Osimhen, then I don't think Napoli need to wait for Osimhen to be sold first to buy Lukaku. Because after all, the reality is that Chelsea also have an interest in Osimhen and thus, the best way is to swap Osimhen with Lukaku but of course, there will be a transfer fee there that must be covered. Thus, then at least Chelsea and Napoli both benefit. But, maybe the exchange method might hurt Napoli too, because basically Osimhen still has a young age compared to Lukaku.

After all, basically Chelsea and PSG are elite teams that certainly have a lot of money, so basically it remains easy for PSG and Chelsea to bring in Osimhen. But strangely, although Chelsea still has a lot of money, but Chelsea also still set a high price for Lukaku but this seems to be just to make Lukaku stay at Chelsea, who knows.
