I would never expect Barcelona to try to bring Kylian Mbappe into their squad when they are really in a financially tight spot. Barcelona can't compete for the star players available on the transfer market, it really makes it difficult for them to maneuver about that.
I also think the same, Barcelona has no chance to sign Mbappe. Everyone knows that Mbappe is dreamed to join Real Madrid since a long time. He is also likely to agree with Real Madrid management to move there if he leaves PSG. Moreover, his transfer fees and his salary will make Barcelona very difficult to deal with him. Even if Barcelona isn't in a financial crisis, I'm not sure if Barcelona can sign Mbappe.

So for conclusion, I really believe that Kylian Mbappe is not a player who will play for Barcelona next season or in the next few seasons. Barcelona must solve their financial problems gradually, but it will never be easy.
Agree. Barcelona must focus to find a way in dealing with their current financial problem. It is not a wise decision to buy an expensive player like Mbappe who can burden more the problem in financial. This problem won't be easy to fix, Barcelona must find more sponsorships and sell some players to reduce the financial burden.


Barcelona's current club concern right now shouldn't be about signing a high profile players like Kylian Mbappe when the club's financial strength is on the decline.
They have a manager in Xavi Hernandez who believes so much in his young team to deliver spectacular performances just like they've been doing since his arrival as the club manager. Barcelona should critically look in to what they can do as a club to help their and recover from their financial ruins

Actually Rudi Garcia is indeed a good coach, it's just that the fans expect Napoli's performance to be the same as last season, of course that will be a heavy burden for Rudi Garcia and many people doubt that Rudi Garcia is able to maintain Napoli's slick performance, and also Rudi Garcia is a minimal coach. regarding achievements, I think while at Napoli he will experience very heavy pressure to be able to continue what Spalletti has given to the Napoli team.
It will be a tough job for Rudi Garcia to bring Napoli to the top of the rankings next season, because usually every transition that occurs takes time for proper preparation and it is not easy to make this run normally like last season. Rudi Garcia has had a much heavier burden since Spalletti left the club and the fans will definitely demand last season's conditions to continue next season. Rudi Garcia's ability to implement the right strategy for players will be key to Napoli's condition next season.

I see that Napoli will face a difficult transition next season and the loss of some players might also affect the stability of the team in facing competition. If Rudi Garcia is not able to keep up with the pressure then I don't think he will last one season at Napoli because after all the management and fans demand more from the new coach.
When it comes to retaining major league titles it's usually more difficult to retain already won cups than how difficult it was winning it
So as expected, Rudi Garcia will certainly face serious minded clubs who'll want to prove to Napoli that that they weren't at their best when Napoli won the Italian scudetto last season

I personally feel really sorry for Neymar. Neymar is an incredible skill full forward player. But due to injuries, this player has repeatedly faced major setbacks in his career. It remains to be seen how he will return to performance after returning from injury at PSG.
Without injury, Neymar is very good because he is a player who already has very good talent, but for next season he just needs to take care of himself so that he can make his career improve again. Because his achievements were only hindered by injuries that often came to him last season, it seemed as if he had experienced a setback in terms of his career. Even though he just couldn't play and contribute more due to injury.
I don't think there's any fan of football who's watched Neymar play football before that can boldly say that the Brazilian isn't among the best players in this world right now.
Neymar's biggest problem as a footballer is his continuous injuries that he dies have and that has cost so much brother. Another factor that's stopping many clubs from trying to sign him is because of the fact that the player's wages are just too much despite his injury crises

It was a big mistake to sack Julian Nagelsmann because everyone wondered what the difference between Nagelsmann and Tuchel is. Their approach is similar and they are also similar in their character and their ways to handle players, their problems and their weaknesses. Tuchel didn't do anything wrong. He was asked when he still had the chance to win three titles at once without even playing half a season. When Tuchel arrived, nothing changed. They played worse and yet they defended their decision to sack Nagelsmann But that is what they had to do. There was no way back for them and they couldn't apologize to the fans after that decision.

You’re right in principle, nothing has changed with the change of coach. The main problem, in my opinion, was the lack of a striker. Bayern didn't get a good striker after Lewandowski and that almost cost them the season and Nagelsmann was punished because of the mistake from the management. In the end, the management changed, which I think was a step in the right direction.
In as much as no significant change has happened since Thomas Tuchel took over the managerial position at Bayern Munich after the club sacked his predecessor Julian Nagelsmann, we mustn't compare the two managers as the current Bayern coach has more qualities than his predecessor at the club.
Bayern Munich will need to sign a world class striker that can fill in the boots of their former hitman Robert Lewandowski so that they can be competitive again against other European rivals

It's quite strange for a striker who is hungry for goals like Harry Kane but he also doesn't really care about silverware in his career. Spurs have been his home for a long time and maybe his love for Spurs makes him very comfortable to stay for a long time. Another thing that made Harry Kane not want to leave England, maybe he couldn't be far from home or family. But even if in the end he doesn't get anything during his glorious career with Spurs, I think he can play for other English teams like Manchester United who are currently also in need of a striker for next season. For Real Madrid, that seems like a pretty slim chance and maybe it will never happen.
Behind all that there is also a point, Kane has been at Tottenham for too long and the family is getting closer to this club in addition to them not being far from where they live so this is a previous consideration why he never moved to another club to care about the trophies he wanted.
But what makes it more difficult is Tottenham too, you know what Tottenham want now is 118 million according to rumors, who dares to sign Kane at this time except only Bayern Munich who still continue to follow him but that price is clearly quite expensive and now Real Madrid does not care about Kane anymore.
Yes and there is no point in him staying with Tottenham, I think he has to think about his career. He is already 30 years old and Kane must be able to take advantage of the various opportunities that come his way. I recently heard that he has made a decision about his desire to leave Tottenham. This was a great step for him to take because by joining a new club, Kane would have a great chance of getting the trophies he always wanted. Bayern Munich are one of the clubs keenly interested in his services and previously Tuchel suffered a rejection when he made an offer to Tottenham for Kane, and recently I heard that Kane has asked Bayern Munich to make another bid for him. But yes, on the other hand, it is certain that Tottenham will not let him go that easily, the very high price clause set by Tottenham, in my opinion, will make some clubs like Bayern Munich reluctant to get him, and that is very possible. that they will choose to look for other alternatives that are more acceptable to reason.
Harry Kane's continuous stay at Tottenham isn't because he doesn't want to leave the North London club but because the club do not want to get rid of their most priced asset.
Last two summer transfer window ago, Manchester City were very serious in trying to bring him to the Etihad but was resisted by Tottenham who tried stalling the deal from going through by giving the the citizens conditions that was too difficult to be met. Kane should know that if there's anytime he can leave Tottenham, it's surely now.

Chelsea and Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku, 30, will not now join Inter Milan - who have decided against a move - with Juventus or a club in Saudi Arabia his most likely destinations. Lukaku is slowly becoming the main story of this summer. Will he become a traitor to Inter fans if he goes to Juve or will he still opt for a rich football retirement in Saudi Arabia?

Source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/66211533

Lukaku should just pick one of these two options and the story should be over. I know how much he wanted Inter but there is nothing to do about it from now on. Because Inter found out about Juventus' effort to sign him also and this made them really angry. This is why they aren't in this race anymore and they won't be.

If he still wants to play football in Europe then he should choose Juventus without stalling them. He is already used to playing in Italy and he loves being there also.

However even if he decides on Juventus there will still be a possibility of not joining them. Because Juventus want this deal only if they part ways with Vlahovic.
I think it'll be very difficult for Romelu Lukaku to join another Italian club this season and that's because of how much he loves Inter Milan and his continuous desire to play the Milan club.
Since his services are no longer needed at Chelsea I think it'll be a good decision for Lukaku to go to Saudi Arabia. Age is no longer in the side of the powerful striker who knows how to bully defenders with his strength and tactics. Saudi Arabia clubs will offer him the best financial package he can get from anywhere at the moment

Another stupid research to promote wok mentality and communist ideology. Why on earth would someone dedicate his time and money only to come out with a paper about the issue a third-gender individual is facing? There would be an agenda always behind such research and in my point of view, they are targeting physical casinos and encouraging online casinos. I am not against the LGBTQ+ community, I am against those who have already destroyed their struggle by publishing articles, research papers, and their existence with wokism. Just look at what is now happening with big brands that tried to promote this kind of behavior. Now they are targeting physical casinos and then they would do the same with online casinos.
Your opinion is clearly what every well meaning individual in the society should have if we really want a better future for the global community. In as much as millions of people across the world doesn't believe the religious creation that brought human to existence which I don have anything against such people for their personal beliefs, the fact that every other living animal is made male and female should tell humanity that we are supposed to let just two genders exist.
The manner at which many people promote this third gender is inhumane if you ask me. Why try to be who you weren't born to be? Whatever effect gambling has on their community should remain with them. They shouldn't force us to share from it or talk about it

Oliver Kahn's working as the chairman lasted only 2 years for Bayern Munich before his getting sacked. Jan-Christian Dreesen is the new chairman of the team now. I wonder how big change this will bring about as well. Because Bayern Munich are known by their being a very disciplined team. They need to keep this vision by making the right decisions for their future. For example the sacking of Nagelsmann was really untimely as they were in a critical time period of the season. Not much time after that we saw Kahn and Salihamidzic getting sacked.
Glad to see that kahn sacked and being replaced with a new chariman. I hope new chairman will able to perform some good decisions for the future of club. Kahn has been doing some blunder when he was becomg chairman of bayern. I agree with the controversial decision to switch to Tuchel while Naglesmann was performing well. Bayern fans must be feeling so happy caused the club has been choosing the new chairman. I think that Dreesen can become a better chairman compared to kahn. At least the stupid decision to sack a good coach will not happen again.
That's enough to make bayern to be in the right way.


The sacking of Oliver Khan from as the chairman of Bayern Munich will surely have effects on the club's performance going forward. Khan has been very intentional about Bayern Munich over the years and have been traveling with the team in most cases when they have European away games just that some of his decisions hasn't really favoured the club hence his sacking.
The new chairman will definitely bring his own style of management to the club which might not be that easy for the manager and staff of the club but whichever way it is, I think everyone at the club will definitely come together and work in harmony for the betterment of the club

The champions league gonna have a new face, it will not be as tough one as before, because the two goats are out of it, its not as competitive as it used to. But if Mbappe leave Psg and sing for Real Madrid then the new goat competition between Haaland and Mbappe will make it interesting. it obvious to know that Mbappe and Psg will not sign any contract extension with Psg. Real Madrid should set their bid set.


Manchester city, will still dominate the Champions league next season, there is not strong team to stop them, almost all the big team has sold their best players to the Saudi Arabia pro  league. it will not be bad if Pep Guardiola will it double, he deserves it.
Kylian Mbappe needs to to move to Real Madrid before the end of the summer transfer window so that he can help desiring football fans who wants to see another great football rival between two footballers now that he Ronaldo and Messi era in Europe is over.
His current relationship with the management of PSG will definitely affect his performance in the pitch if he doesn't leave the French capital this summer and that's what football fans around the globe wouldn't want to see. An Mbappe and Haaland rivalry will surely an interesting show for football faithfuls

I think Barcelona's current problem is in their finances so they are not very active in hunting for star players at high prices, currently Barcelona is more focused on future investment, coaching or buying potential young players and buying several senior players who are ready and mature. to balance the team's performance, I think it's a pretty good step when im internally experiencing financial problems.
This fact cannot be avoided, but as long as Barcelona can allocate each portion and also do the right goals, I think it will produce something sweet. Sometimes we can't criticize a team with bad finances like the one faced by Barcelona and indeed they can't buy star players like some of Europe's top teams.

I think the transition to talented young players or players who are more mature from that experience is good enough for future development. Now barcelona may be challenged whether they can return these financial problems to a stable point so that we will also see barcelona will compete with other European teams in fighting for star players.
Barcelona's current financial incapabilities has made the club to significantly minimize their engagement in the transfer market making the manager to fully utilize the players he has at his disposal.
Xavi Hernandez has proven that he can nurture the young players in the squad to world class players and he did that by winning the Spanish La Liga title with squad last season. IIkay Gundogan has been joined them for free after his Manchester City departure and I think they're few more signings from being strong enough to compete with any club in Europe
4271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 16, 2023, 01:44:10 PM
I wonder how Napoli will go on from here, will they be able to maintain same form as they showed previous season with a new manager controlling and directing the affairs of the team with new tactics and strategies or could this be the beginning of their down fall? Many questions are going through my mind. Could they successfully convince Osimhen to extend his contract and find a new striker?
Until now nothing big happened in Serie A, just slight change as far as I am aware of which means things will remain quite the same next season with Napoli advantageous along with Inter tho. Obviously there might be new signing later otherwise the other teams will be in trouble concurring Napoli.
I expect Juventus to return to the race for top spots in addition to Milan. For Roma, you have the feeling they are broke and collecting free transfers while selling some of their players! Quite weird what they are planning for the next season.

After all, why would you think or expect Osimhen's contract to be extended because in reality, Osimhen is still under contract at Napoli until 2025. Also, Napoli is basically not a team that is used to keeping its key players, so it would be natural if Osimhen later left. Also apart from that and regarding Napoli's performance next season, I personally am still quite sure that Napoli will still compete strongly at least in the top five, but to defend the Scudetto is definitely a difficult task to achieve.
Victor Osimhen's contract with Napoli will definitely be in existence till the summer of 2025 which means that he's still got two more seasons to play for the Italian club. However there's every need for the club to renew his contract now that the player is showing great footballing abilities with no sign of slowing down anytime soon.
If Victor Osimhen can replicate the same performance he had last season, it'll be certain that his impressive performances isn't a one-season show and that'll make so many clubs to make efforts and get his signature. So the earlier Napoli renews his contract, the better they stand a chance to make huge financial gain in his sale

The speculated clubs I have seen about de Gea to be signed by are Fenerbahçe and Saudi Arabian clubs. If Fenerbahçe had enough funds or leaned towards signing de Gea despite his demands then maybe he would have thought of that option seriously. However it is said that his wage demand will be more than 10 million euros and in addition to that he will demand at least 8 million euros as signing-on fee for himself. This is too much for Fenerbahçe considering the average sum they pay to their players.

As a result I will be expecting him to sign for a Saudi Arabian club. Who knows how attracting conditions they will offer to him to finish this deal quickly.
David De Gea he proven that he's one of best shot stoppers in the world over the years at Manchester United and despite his huge errors in the final stages of duration at Old Trafford, records has proven that he's the best among all the goalkeepers that's ever played for the club.
Now that he's out of Manchester United and nearing the end of his playing career I think it'll be best for him to move to the Saudi Arabia league where he'll not face the same force of pressure from fans to be at his best and would also be getting the best financial package any league can offer him at the moment.

If someone asked me six months ago about MLS or the Saudi league I would have said that MLS is better. But now I have to say the Saudi league is improving rapidly and also probably better compared to the MLS. Anyway, Lionel Messi is definitely going to MLS.
Just because the SPL are getting more players to come join the league does not make it better already. The competition in the league is not so much and that is one of the purpose why they have invested so much in trying to bring experienced players there after Ronaldo to make it better. The new season has not yet started and we have not yet seen the effect that the new players that have been signed there will bring, so we cannot already say it is better than the MLS that is very competitive. we will need to judge from next season not when the season has not started.
As it stands, other than the major European leagues which since the existence of club football has been the most popular in the world, no other league outside Europe is more popular among football fans all the globe like the Saudi Professional League.
The huge financial investments by the club's in the league in buying high profile European based players over the past 12 months has made them surpass the MLS and any other non European league that's globally known and that is not gonna stop anytime soon going by their continuous efforts to bring more European based players to the Asian based league

The question will be, will PSG will the French ligue title again? easily or tight gaps?
Psg will win the Ligue 1 title, that is how easy it has been for them to win the French title for many years now, so you can be almost sure that they will be the champions even before the season starts. Psg want to win the champions league, they are tired of the Ligue 1 title, but they cannot win the champions league yet. The club will have to change how they operate if they want to win the champions league, players cannot have more powers in the team than the manager, they have to sell players that think they are bigger than the club and then build a new team from the start.
as long as PSG doesn't lose their best players like Mbappe and Neymar PSG still has hope of getting the Liga 1 title but after the contracts of these two best players run out it might be a little difficult to get the Liga 1 title in the future.

but to catch the Champions League, maybe PSG is a little difficult because seeing their performance they cannot compete with other big teams like Man City and Real Madrid at this time unless luck is on PSG side in the coming season.
I think Paris Saint Germaine has clearly stated the club's resolve about the their most valuable player Kylian Mbappe and that is to sell the player this summer transfer window to any club with highest bidder.
That being said, PSG squad without Kylian Mbappe is unarguably the best in France and would win the French Ligue 1 with ease if they should put out a good performance as expected of them. Winning the UEFA Champions League title next season will surely be very difficult for the French champions but certainly not impossible.
4275  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: July 15, 2023, 10:53:03 PM
PSG should sell Mbappe to recover the money spent earlier and buy themselves a replacement striker. I think even giving him more power would make matters worse, PSG gave him a lot of privileges and power. To lead to too much internal turmoil. PSG is a rich club but not a united collective. Although there are many good players, they do not bring good results. Mbappe will leave PSG, and Messi has also left PSG.
The burden may be on the shoulders of coach Luis Enrique. He was embarking on the rebuilding of the decaying Paris Saint-Germain.
It's true that Luis Enrique will carry a heavy burden for next season on his shoulders, but it looks like he will choose a firm stance against the current turmoil in the PSG squad. Of course, armed with his experience as a player and coach he can overcome trivial matters related to the issue of Mbappe going to Real Madrid.

I think Enrique and the PSG management will find the right solution for this, considering that the transfer market is still long it will make it easier for PSG to find a replacement for Mbappe. If Enrique doesn't look at other strikers in the transfer market he can just take advantage of back-up players they also have almost the same quality as the main squad. By giving them confidence to prove their quality they will automatically contribute to the team. Neymar will be a worthy role model for other players in the team than Mbappe.
Luis Enrique will not have an easy start at PSG. Mbappe goes or stays, Enrique is not responsible, but he has to bear the consequences. If Mbappe remains for another season, Enrique must let Mbappe play at his best, which won't be easy. Mbappe is an excellent talent in world football, but with that comes a considerable ego. As for Neymar, he is 31 years old with a long history of injuries, and I don't think he will carry the team. He is still the best striker in the world, but he plays with instinct and emotion rather than responsibility.
Luis Enrique needs better new signings to revive a falling PSG.
As expected of a new manager who's never managed a French club before in his managerial career,  Luis Enrique will not hit the ground running immediately. There so many things he'll have to learn about French Football that's he's yet to know.
But with time, Enrique will groom his Paris Saint Germaine team in to one of best in Europe while also conquering France. Enrique's style of total isn't common in France and that is another factor that I think will make him not have an easy start to his PSG reign.
4276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: July 15, 2023, 10:42:59 PM
PSG must prepare a backup option if they fail to reach a contract extension with Mbappe and have to sell him in this season's transfer market, Victo Osimhen is the perfect option to replace Mbappe, his performance was quite consistent last season and he managed to become Napoli's top scorer with 26 goals from 32 matches in Serie A, proving Osimhen's capacity to be PSG's striker. But still dilemma with PSG current Mbappe situation unclear yet, not confirming about extend contract or not make negotiation for PSG signing new player faced difficult. PSG should have final decision from Mbappe extend or sell him in this summer window transfer before loss compete with other teams who in fighting race sign Osimhen.
IMO, it is very likely that PSG and Mbappe will agree on a contract extension. however, Mbappe can still leave in the following season. thus, PSG will not suffer many losses and Mbappe can still leave for Real Madrid. PSG will offer a new contract, which will be a solution for both parties. I'm pretty sure Mbappe is also very aware of what will happen if he doesn't want to extend his contract. maybe, PSG won't give him a lot of playing time.
In another scenario, Madrid enters and brings Mbappe to the Santiago Bernabeu at a price that is relatively mutually agreeable. thus, PSG will not need to issue the huge bonus that Mbappe agreed to in their contract. well, let's see what drama will happen next.

Speaking of PSG, currently PSG is not in order to bring in players with big names. for example, Osimhen. even though it was linked, I'm not sure if the club will pour out funds at a very expensive price. because of that, now their target is Vlahovic. And most likely, if he can join the French giants. other rumors, PSG are also monitoring Harry Kane.
well, this will be very interesting for us to follow. I wonder what Enrique will plan with his squad. but my guess is that PSG and Enrique will target young players, especially for the center forward.
By the way, I don't want to rush to assess PSG for the next season, I mean the strength map of the squad. but what is certain, Enrique will try to rebuild PSG's strength so that his team is more competitive.

PSG is certainly going to offer Mbappé a contract extension. I actually do not know if they already have offered him a contract extension. I actually believe that they have but Mbappé did not accept. They are actually aiming to sell him right now. Otherwise, they are going to lose him as a free agent. They certainly do not want that in my opinion. I believe it is the right moment for them to sell him and bring in another player. The problem is any player which they are going to try to bring in, will obviously be pursued by other clubs. That is going to make their job a lot harder. At least it is going to be harder for them to bring in the players that they actually want.

I don't think Paris Saint Germaine will like to offer Kylian Mbappe a contract extension this summer especially after now that it's very clear that the Frenchman isn't happy at the club again and wants to force his way out of the club.
Paris Saint Germaine has clearly stated that they're gonna sell the player out this summer and that'll be to the highest bidder

Manchester United have improved their performance quite much since Erik ten Hag took over. He started with finishing in top four and qualifying for the Champions League already. This is a really good start but the board and fans will expect more than this next season. Manchester United will need to be in a title challenge as soon as possible like in the old times.

The current squad is actually quite good for that goal but there is still some weakness. They really need a striker and goalkeeper signings now. Onana deal is nearly done though like I said before. But it is still ambiguous who they will go for when it comes to striker signing. I said Hojlund before but I haven't heard of any offer.
Manchester United team has improved very well under Erik Ten Hag and both the board and fans are happy about this.
But then everyone wants more for Manchester United but I do not agree with you, the current squad cannot do anything more than they did last season if they do not make significant changes to the squad.
Do you remember that at a time Manchester United would have been strong contenders of the English Premier League title if they got squad depth. They were reusing their squad like Arsenal and eventually caught up by fatigue.

I have also stated that there is still some weakness in the squad. After improving the quality of all areas to an acceptable level they will be fully ready to fight for the Premier League title finally. Erik ten Hag already has strategies which work really well. As long as he has the kind of squad in his hands there is nothing stopping from fighting for the league title seriously.

Fighting against Manchester City won't be easy at all. But maybe they can at least be the second strongest team of the league this season. Because we don't know if Arsenal can keep this level this season as well. They have a quite young squad which doesn't reassure high consistency over years.
Erik Ten Hag and the management of Manchester United must understand that football isn't about finishing in the top four of the English premier league rather a big club like Manchester United is supposed to be competing for European and domestic titles.
Manchester City has dominated the English Football and has won the English Premier League title for 3 consecutive League campaigns and still counting. United need to land a good striker who can help improve the attacking strength of the team

No doubt that Turkish clubs are having issues probably relative to finances or probably what is too confidential to  allow get to the public.
But whatever the problem is, it is time they rise up from their ruins and start putting our great performances especially in European competitions. The better they perform in European competitions the better they increase chances of winning more European slots for Turkish football

Napoli are working on a contract extension for Osimhen. He has drawn the attention to himself quite much after his amazing performance in the previous season. But as his cost is going to be quite high for the other teams interested in signing him I don't know if any team would make an official offer. Napoli must be asking for at least 130 million euros.

His salary is nothing for a player like him now and this gives Napoli an advantage to convince him for an extension. I assume he would demand a couple of million euros rise in his salary and I would expect Napoli to accept that. As he has 2 years left there Napoli had better secure his future there.
Some rumors say Napoli will release Osimhen for 150 million or some other sources say Napoli wants 180 million, but it is unclear and unconfirmed because usually the media will exaggerate the news a little.
Osimhen is an important player in the Napoli squad, especially when he was a player who contributed a lot to their title win last season. It's only natural that Napoli would want a high price for a player who has played well.
Napoli seem to be between a rock and a hard place, I mean whether they want to sell him or keep him. Because if they sell it, they will benefit from the sale, but they will lose a player who has a bright future. On the other hand, if they keep him then they won't make a profit, but they will still have a very good player in the squad.

Yeah there is such rumour as well. But how many teams would like to pay 150 million euros or over that price for Osimhen now? There are surely quite many teams that can afford him. However when it comes to the will to afford him I don't see that many teams. It is even said that the only interested team now is PSG to pay that much.

PSG are working on Vlahovic deal behind the scenes as well though. If they decide to sign him instead then I will believe in Osimhen to stay at Napoli this summer surely. But in case he doesn't still extend his contract in this season and has one year left on his contract then Napoli will really have to sell him to not lose him without transfer fee.
Victor Osimhen is still very much young as a player to be deeply perturbed with the continuous news of his potential transfer to other clubs or wether he'll remain at Napoli beyond the end of the summer transfer window.
The Nigeria international should be more focused in putting out a better performance than the one he had last season and with that unimaginable number of clubs will be seriously be asking for his signature come next summer transfer

Yes, reportedly so but if so far these clubs are still safe, then of course they also do not violate financial fair play which is certainly a success for them. Indeed, I also previously thought that maybe only Ronaldo was willing to play in the Saudi Professional League and maybe, it would not make other clubs do crazy things like Al Nassr. But in the end, other clubs also have the same power to be able to bring in top European players and at least it is clear that the changes they make are not only done for popularity, but the changes made by these clubs are clearly to improve the quality of their football.

Haha easy to guess almost all of them would agree to move to this league when their career had finished in the Europa League and almost retired at the same time there was an offer to move with a high salary of course they can't refuse it, it is the right choice. but if the offer that can be made to a young european player is clear they reject it they prefer career over money, not only players even top coaches also refused to join. We'll see in the next 2 seasons whether the Saudi League continues to do this.
Undoubtedly, the factual truth is that majority of the European based players who's reached agreements to sign for these Saudi Arabian clubs are players that are above the age of 30 which in football is regarded as ending part of a footballers career.
That been said, I think there are still European based players who are in their 20s and was signed to the Saudi clubs. The management of the Saudi League knows what they really want and publicization of the league to World Football audience of one the their reasons which they're are achieving
