Indeed, Arsenal are the closest at the moment, but there is still no real guarantee because of course we know that several other big clubs, such as Manchester United, are still looking for gaps to approach this player.
But in this condition even though it is expensive but it seems like Rice's move is like a certainty now because wherever his new club now seems he is ready for it and west ham is just doing his job by providing expensive values for his benefit.

Talking about Bayern seems like it's still a rumor that is fuzzy, but that doesn't mean they don't have a chance either.

Good point, despite Arsenal being the closest right now, there are lot of other big clubs in the race to bring in Declan Rice. At any point of talks between Arsenal and Rice take a turn then others will try to negotiate and fix the deal as soon as possible. About his chances of staying at West Ham, it seems there are strong reports of him staying at West Ham is low. I really hope Arsenal makes no mistakes and really go after him as he will be great addition to the squad as a defensive midfielder. I don't know about Bayern and United, but for sure there will be lot of clubs after him so we really need to act fast here if we really need the player.

True, for Rice to stay at West ham at this time the possibility is very small even judging by Rice's tweets on social media it seems to signal a farewell regardless of anything for West Ham.
At the moment it depends on the approach and financial conditions because everyone still has the same possibility and things that are not really desirable can happen as the transfer is closer to opening this time.
On the other hand, it also returns to Rice, where is he interested now, but there is still no further news about this and indeed, it seems we still have to wait for what steps are taken by several big clubs interested in Rice now, because regardless of anything, it's quite busy now. but when reporting things like this are still closed to the public and only become an internal secret from the club.

Real Madrid's return to second place in the standings was because Atletico Madrid failed to win when they visited Espanyol headquarters, which on paper they could actually win this match easily, seeing their opponents who are in the relegation zone. But unfortunately they couldn't maintain their 3 goal lead which they created 2 in the first half and 1 at the start of the second half. Espanyol managed to equalize even in less than 20 minutes with the 3 goals they scored in the 64th, 76th and 79th minutes so that Atletico Madrid had to go home with the 1 point they got from this draw.
Anyone would not have thought that a team that had a 3 goal advantage (3-0) actually had to respond quickly in a relatively short amount of time. namely from the 64th minute to the 79th minute. In just 15 minutes, Espanyol was able to equalize in that match. Not without reason. but because indeed Atletico Madrid in those minutes became careless. they are too confident to win the match because they are already 3 goals ahead. But when he was off guard, it turned out that his opponent, namely Espanyol, was able to put him to good use. And finally the score must be a draw until the game ends.
I actually don't want to have the thought that Atletico Madrid is trying to underestimate the opponent with the 3 goal advantage they have won, but unfortunately what happened makes me have to think that they might have done that so they were caught off guard in that span of time, so that Espanyol could make a stand. draw and survive until the final whistle of the game. Let's just look at the statistics created by Espanyol, they can do 26 attempts and 13 of them lead to goal, that is 2 times the statistics that Atletico Madrid can create. With the difference in strength between them, this shouldn't have happened.

Manchester city is indeed predicted to win the treble winner this season if they can get the champions league title, but Inter also just won the Coppa Italia last night and at the same time makes them have the same opportunity to get the treble winner by winning the champions league title this season.

It seems that the competition between the two teams is getting more interesting, especially since the determinant for the treble winner this season is who will win the champion's league title and seeing that each team's chances of winning this are still quite wide open. As we get closer to the final round of the Champions League, the two teams are certainly very excited to be able to win the treble winner in all competitions this season.
I put Manchester city as a club that will achieve that, but I also won't rule out the possibility that Inter Milan will also get it by winning the final, yes, even though their chances are no bigger than Manchetser City's.
In terms of strength, Manchester City is ahead of Inter Milan, and I'm sure many agree with this, not without reason, because they have also shown something extraordinary throughout the season, including in the Premier League by continuing to chase Arsenal and in the end they ended up being champions. there.

The result of the match that they should have got in this match. Rayo Vallecano himself was not without a fight in this match, as evidenced by the 1 goal they were able to score to draw the score. In fact, Real Madrid almost couldn't win considering the remaining time in this match, and fortunately they were still able to score 1 goal through Rodrygo in the final minutes of normal time and help Real Madrid avoid a draw in this match.
I agree with you that Real Madrid must find another striker to replace Benzema who will not be in the squad for long.
The victory put Madrid back in second place in the standings, on paper Rayo was not a balanced opponent of Madrid but they were quite difficult and the visitors played well, you see they even scored an equalizer even though in the end Rayo had to accept defeat.

Madrid must really have new players next season considering there is a lot of competition for big clubs that have entered the UCL as well so Madrid needs to replace their old players to be able to exist and of course look for talented young players to be used as substitutes for Benzema or to become goal machines for Madrid

I actually did not see any reason or any possibility that willmake Dortmund to miss this very Bundesliga title.
I mean, the victory is in their hand to decide their future and the future of the other clubs in the German Bundesliga for over a decade.
And in the other hand, Mainz is not the club to stop Dortmund from becoming the champions of the Bundesliga this season. Mainz has gone four straight matches, losing all so it will not be in this very important and most important match of the season that they would begin to pull up surprises.
I hereby congratulate Dortmund in advance for breaking the yoke and they will still be champions next season.
True, now their fate is in their own hands, whether they will be able to become champions or not, they decide for themselves. There is no reason for Borussia Dortmund to miss a big chance to become Bundesliga champions this season, there is only one game left and even then they will face an opponent who is not in a good condition. To be honest, I personally am worried that they will make the same mistakes as before, I mean when they lose consistency and have to get suboptimal results against weak clubs. If that happens it will be very disappointing, because if they make the same mistake then there will be no chance for them this season.

Indeed, it is a question why Mourinho did not put Dybala in the starting line-up, but that is again he who knows better about his team's situation and I think it is also part of the strategy he implemented which required Dybala to start the game from the bench. In a situation like this many people regret that, and indeed what is the thing he really has to do to put Dybala on the bench. But it's back again, because sometimes our wishes will always be different from the coach's, moreover we know Mourinho is a coach who is difficult to predict what his wishes will be.

But you are implying that coaches never make mistakes. I agree that the coach is closest to the team, has optimal insight into everything that is going on and we can only give our subjective opinions based on what we get to see during the games. But it wouldn't be the first time that a coach purses some ideological ideas that in the end don't work out. Does he have any issues in genera with Dybala? I haven't read anything about it and at first I thought that Dybala must have been injured for a long time, but he seems to be fit. Perhaps he has character issues and doesn't train as hard as others. That is something we wouldn't know unless Mourinho tells the public. But leaving those assumptions aside, Dybala has the quality to go for 90 minutes and deliver a brilliant game. He also has this little extra when it comes to free kicks.
I don't mean at all to say that a coach is always right with the strategy he implements, of course they also have lots of mistakes that don't seem right in implementing the strategy or so on. But what I'm saying here is how a coach sometimes has a different view from us who see how the situation is happening on the field, be it in terms of the game, or even in terms of the players they fielded in that match. I understand why they ignore what the audience is saying, because it's not uncommon when coaches follow what the audience is saying it makes the situation worse, even though there are also those that make the situation better.

Absolutely and I wouldn't argue against your opinion here because it's true. But you know these situations where sometimes coaches also gamble and try something where most people would disagree with the decision.

Coaches should have their own minds, but they are also in a position to interpret everything in their favor. For example, if a player is put on the bench and is angry about it and then comes from the bench and scores, the coach says "he scored because I put him on the bench and made the right decision". But it's sometimes just coincidence or luck. When the player doesn't score, the coach can say that that was the reason why the player was sitting on the bench.

I am not someone who takes decisions from coaches quickly and then judges. I admit that coaches have much more information than we do. But there are also decisions when I think I would have done it differently. Because coaches also have different opinions. It is not just because Mourinho is a master and we are not. Mourinho also makes decisions that Guardiola wouldn't make. Smiley

I believe that in the end players decide the game, not so much the coaches.
I understand what you mean when the coach says his decision to put on the bench and come on as a substitute and get that goal will be a weapon for him and then claims it was part of the strategy. I also agree that it won't be the same forever, because it could just be luck in the game. A coach will usually claim that good results are the result of his strategy, but a great coach will admit his mistakes so that the bad results that befall the team he leads are his full responsibility.
Of course everyone will have different thoughts, moreover it is football, usually in strategy we will have a style of play that we like and we will apply it when we are in a position as a coach. But of course there will be external factors that require us to change our strategy from time to time.

Today there will be a match between Manchester United vs Chelsea, for Manchester United they only need a draw to make them lock in their position in the standings. But it seems that they will want to win, after all, Chelsea is now in a bad state, so they can take advantage of that to let them win 3 points in this game. While Chelsea, since they were taken over by Frank Lampard they have only been able to win 1 time, I will not blame Lampard because even before he was in charge of Chelsea, Chelsea was already in a bad state.
Manchester United have the advantage in this match because they will be playing at home, look at their have very impressive record when playing at Old Trafford, not lose yet in all competitions if I'm not mistaken that's more than 20 matches. Chelsea probably won't have the chance to steal three points from the red devils, because this match is most likely to end in a home win or draw, lucky if draw because Chelsea can get one points in this match. But I think it's impossible because I believe Manchester United can win, maybe with score 2-0.
It should be like that, I am also one of the people who made Manchester United the favorite in this match, I don't have to mention the reasons why I support Manchester United, because we definitely know the difference between these two clubs now. especially as you said, Manchester United's winning record is also good when playing at home, namely Old Trafford, that will be a good capital for them to continue positive results when playing at their own headquarters. And I also predict a draw is the best result for Chelsea.

I knew Brighton will give Manchester city a tough time in that match, that's why i double chance Brighton in that game. Manchester city has no big game in the league again,they are all preparing for the big game in champions league final, Pep Guardiola is resting his star players,and he is not risking them for any premier league game anymore.
Pep Guardiola's strategy in protecting his star players is a pretty good strategy because he really needs to do it for the big match in the UCL. Apart from that, Manchester City has also won the Premier League so that Manchester City no longer needs more points and the draw with Brighton is also a very good result because Manchester City can still get even one point. Apart from that, Brighton is also trying to secure its place in the Europa League zone this season and Brighton has indeed succeeded in doing this.
Of course it was a wise choice, because in the Premier League they have nothing more to chase because they have confirmed themselves to be champions this season. The most important thing now is the Champions League, because that is what they have been after for many years. They still have the FA Cup final against Manchester United, I don't know if they will be serious in that game or not. But it seems they will also show their best to be able to win the title there.

And Inter have increased the number of titles they achieved this season to two by beating Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia finale. We watched all the action in the first half honestly and the second half wasn't that attention getting. I mean Fiorentina tried their best to score the equalizer to go for extra time but they failed. Inter just tried to maintain their advantage and won by 2-1.

First Fiorentina got ahead and it made me surprised actually. But Inter's making a comeback in the same half showed how dedicated they were to win the title. Lautaro Martinez had a wonderful day by scoring both goals of his team.
Before that, I would like to congratulate Inter Milan for beating Fiorentia in the final, and in doing so they won the Copa Italia title this season. It could be a good move before they play another final in the Champions League.
From the start, they were the favorites to win the Copa Italia, because Fiorentina are also in no better shape than Inter Milan, so this result is not surprising. Even though Fiorentina could score quick goals, they had to lose 2 goals which required them to give up the title to Inter Milan.

Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano The first half of the game has already ended and Real Madrid has conceded a goal. Karim Benzema had a great performance in the match and he scored a goal to give Real Madrid the lead. And since today's match is at Real Madrid's home ground, they will definitely win the match. Rayo Vallecano did not perform very well. As the match has ended in the first half and it is expected that Real Madrid will score more goals in the second half. If Real Madrid wins today's match, their points will surely increase.

Since Real Madrid is one of the star teams and has players who are old but still capable of performing, their victory over Rayon Vallecano is not a surprise to me. Real Madrid will still put on a good show even without Vini Jr. on the field, and they also don't care if the season is about to come to an end. Since they only scored one goal before the first half, it was scored by Kareem Benzema, and based on his performance it appears that he haven't recovered all from his injuries.
It will be beneficial if Real Madrid signs another forward who can score goals extremely intelligently to assist Benzema when he isn't in good shape.


The result of the match that they should have got in this match. Rayo Vallecano himself was not without a fight in this match, as evidenced by the 1 goal they were able to score to draw the score. In fact, Real Madrid almost couldn't win considering the remaining time in this match, and fortunately they were still able to score 1 goal through Rodrygo in the final minutes of normal time and help Real Madrid avoid a draw in this match.
I agree with you that Real Madrid must find another striker to replace Benzema who will not be in the squad for long.

I do not disregard any of the teams for this finals but I tend to align more with Mourinho boys because if the experience of Jose. He is so experienced in playing finals but in the other hand, Sevilla is more experienced as a team than Roma in the Europa League competition. How Madrid is to Champions League, that is how Sevilla is to Europa. This season that Madrid is prevented from getting to the finals, I think Sevilla will do exactly like Madrid. But the  everything us possible till that very day of the finals.

This is about an experienced Coach and an experienced team. We can’t really deliberate much about these two teams as anything can happen on the day of the final. Sevilla was able to defeat Juventus to reach the finals, so I feel they’ve higher chance to win the trophy than Roma who only has an experienced coach to see them through the finals.
Actually I don't mind the status of an experienced coach or vice versa, but I also won't deny that sometimes I also consider that status so that it will then be a prediction of the outcome of the match. But apart from all that, the two clubs that will compete have their respective weaknesses and strengths. We know that Sevilla is not good in local competitions, but they can prove it by reaching the final in the Europa League. It's honestly hard to predict who will win the match, and I can say their odds are 50/50.

For me Neymar's position is very difficult after the injury at that time made a bad performance and I'm also not sure if Neymar has really recovered and there are other clubs who want to pay him a high salary on the one hand Neymar is in a state of injury that is not necessarily fully recovered.
I don't fully expect Neymar to be able to provide something good for Paris Saint-Germain because Mbappe is enough to bring Paris Saint-Germain to the top of the standings.
It is better to let Neymar recover on his own so he can be free from the injury he is currently experiencing. Because there are not many remaining matches and PSG are also at the top of the standings by obtaining quite fantastic points, making it difficult for rivals to catch up with PSG's points in these two remaining matches. Apart from that, I also believe that PSG can still win without Neymar in the team and besides, the next two matches will not make it difficult for PSG because the opponents are not strong enough.
They have already confirmed the title, so there is no reason to force Neymar now. Indeed if they lost the last 2 matches and their closest current club Lens will win the last 2 matches it will be the same points. But the productivity that Paris Saint Germain has, I'm not sure Lens will be able to catch up with it.
They should start thinking about their future now, because they need a very big change for next season and they can try again especially in the Champions League.

Since the season is almost over, it will be very difficult for Benzema to surpass Lewandowski this time around. Barcelona players are doing everything they can to help Lewandowski score more goals so that he will be the league's leading scorer with 23 goals, while Benzema still has more than 5 goals to pass him.

The remaining 2 matches for Barcelona are not difficult matches because they will be playing with a small team and I believe they will not allow those teams to score if not their image will be ruined in the season again as for Lewandowski I believe Barcelona players are giving him assists to see him succeed as the highest goal scorer at the end of the season I believe it is too late for Benzema to score more than 5 goals to pass Lewandowski when the Barcelona player has 23 goals.
The remaining 2 matches, Barcelona will not have more motivation as well as Real Madrid because there is no possibility that this will happen again and it is even very likely that these two teams will try several tactics or opportunities for their coating players to play, regardless of the competition that is going on between Lewandowski and Benzema to get the top scorer this season but Lewandowski's 5 goal advantage at this time I think it is no longer possible for Benzema to chase.

Barcelona won the title and Real Madrid will be second in the table. And I don't think that will change. But the Benzema vs Lewandowski battle has turned out to be crowded. Lewandowski is still 5 goals ahead of Benzema. Real Madrid will play their next two matches against Sevilla and Athletic Club, both of which have strong defences. And it is very unlikely that Benzema will score 5 goals in these two matches. And so I'd say Lewandowski is going to be the season's top scorer. Lewandowski has had an excellent season. He did not face many injuries.
This kind of rivalry is deserved and it is necessary to have players like Benzema and Lewandowski in order to strengthen the rivalry between the two teams because we know since the time Messi and Ronaldo left there is no real rivalry for players at the two clubs and now it is good to see that again.
But it is very unfortunate that Benzema's recurring injury has slightly disrupted the current rivalry. Even if it still hurts a lot but it will be even more interesting if Benzema doesn't have frequent fitness problems because this kind of competition will only get stronger.

There is a rival club for Arsenal about signing Declan Rice in the summer - Bayern Munich. Before anything else I feel like this time West Ham can't keep Rice in the team anymore. Because this season has been horrible for them in the EPL especially. Maybe they have reached the finale in the ECL but even if they win that title and qualify for the Europa League I don't think this would be enough to keep Rice here.

Rice would like to play for a top team joining the Champions League next season rather than that. But I wonder which side he would like to pick. Actually I feel like he won't prefer to leave England after having his whole career so far here. Therefore Arsenal would come one step forward in this race. Besides I think he would play for more time compared to Bayern Munich too in my opinion.
80 million for Rice seems to have not budged at this time.
In fact, if you look at the current condition, Rice can actually still be said to be too big in my opinion for that price.
Regardless of anything, we certainly know that he still hasn't won any achievements, so a price like this is clearly too exaggerated. It's just that at the moment there are lots of big clubs wanting his services which makes West ham a little reluctant and pay that price. Now Bayern is a real threat and with the conditions being offered at the moment by big clubs, the possibility of him leaving and not being comfortable at West ham will become even more real now.
Rice is the priority for Arsenal. I don’t know about Bayern Munich, and again Arsenal's strong relations with West Ham United put them in an excellent position when it comes to trying to sign Declan Rice this summer. They are concerns over the midfield and Arteta is keen to bolster his midfield options and close the gap between his side and Premier League champions Manchester City. The club is willing to fork out a club-record fee to sign Declan Rice. So I expect a smooth business between the two clubs.
Indeed, Arsenal are the closest at the moment, but there is still no real guarantee because of course we know that several other big clubs, such as Manchester United, are still looking for gaps to approach this player.
But in this condition even though it is expensive but it seems like Rice's move is like a certainty now because wherever his new club now seems he is ready for it and west ham is just doing his job by providing expensive values for his benefit.

Talking about Bayern seems like it's still a rumor that is fuzzy, but that doesn't mean they don't have a chance either.

To be honest the points tally is a bit fierce and indeed anyone who loses their balance in the upcoming game then the chances of them going out of the zone are very big.
On the other hand, this condition could also be put to good use by Lille. Their win against Marseille last week will consciously or not lift their spirits regardless. On the other hand, they will also face quite easy matches in the last 2 weeks because there are only Nantes and Troyes who are currently struggling to get out of the relegation zone.
Even though this is also very important for Nantes and Troyes, Lille is still favorable for them at the moment.
Monaco vs Rennes will be a big game that is quite interesting this week because these two teams have the same opportunity to close the season in the top 4 places. Monaco has not been very stable this season they have had some problems in a few matches which has made them not very consistent in maintaining their ranking. For Rennes if they manage to beat Monaco then they have a bigger chance to reach 4th place. But Lille will not be silent for sure they will make the competition more interesting this week.

One thing that Monaco must do is maximize the chances they have in the last two matches to win because doing so can make them comfortably qualify for the Champions league next season.
Monaco is aware that 3 defeats and 1 draw for them at the moment are clearly disturbing their stability so inevitably they have to try even harder now.
on the other hand, Lille is the club that has the advantage in this clash because regardless of whoever wins it will be in a very good position.
It is possible for Monaco to win, so apart from them they can still catch up for the conditions of the Europa League, on the other hand they have definitely secured the Conference league.
On the other hand for Rennes who won and they also won in a match which was actually quite easy for Lille then of course their position was lifted and Monaco would lose momentum and be knocked down to 6th position.

In fact, if you look at the current condition, Rice can actually still be said to be too big in my opinion for that price.
Regardless of anything, we certainly know that he still hasn't won any achievements, so a price like this is clearly too exaggerated. It's just that at the moment there are lots of big clubs wanting his services which makes West ham a little reluctant and pay that price. Now Bayern is a real threat and with the conditions being offered at the moment by big clubs, the possibility of him leaving and not being comfortable at West ham will become even more real now.

Rennes have a pretty good record of match results with 3 wins in the last 5 matches. Now they are in 6th place in the standings and are only 1 point away from Lille who are currently in the conference league zone next season. With two matches remaining for Rennes they still have a chance to get to the zone and also have more chances to be in the European league if Rennes manages to overtake Monaco. One of the matches this week will also bring Rennes against Monaco and of course through the results of this match a place in European competition will begin to be contested.
Yes, the match between Rennes and Monaco will be one of the decisive matches to see how the standings are positioned after this week is over. Now the problem is that they don't have much time, to be able to compete because in 2 more weeks the League will end and in those 2 matches they have to get the best results to ensure and lock their position in the standings. Now all the clubs that still have a chance to be in European competition are racing to win and also hope that their rivals will be disappointed in these 2 matches.
That's right, the last two matches that will determine the fate of each club that wants to compete in Europe will definitely not be easy because the difference between each team is only 1 to 2 points. For Rennes it is a must to beat Monaco, but Monaco is also quite a strong opponent.

But even if Monaco loses this match they will still have the last chance to get 3 points through the last game against Brest and that is a very slim chance considering that Lille will face very easy opponents like Nantes and Troyes.



To be honest the points tally is a bit fierce and indeed anyone who loses their balance in the upcoming game then the chances of them going out of the zone are very big.
On the other hand, this condition could also be put to good use by Lille. Their win against Marseille last week will consciously or not lift their spirits regardless. On the other hand, they will also face quite easy matches in the last 2 weeks because there are only Nantes and Troyes who are currently struggling to get out of the relegation zone.
Even though this is also very important for Nantes and Troyes, Lille is still favorable for them at the moment.

Their famous coach can't kick the ball. Mourinho won several titles in his career, but when he did I think that his teams were comparably stronger than Roma is now. I don't know what you guys think but when Mourinho would want his players to play the same strategy as in the second leg against Leverkusen, what do you believe how often such a strategy can be successful when the opponent has 23:1 shots and Roma must hope that the opponent doesn't score? Can it work out one time or even two times in a row? If you only take the numbers, what is the probability that Roma could survive another game with 23:1 shots against them? I think there is a moment when your luck is exhausted even if you defend passionately.
I think so too, I'm not concerned about what strategy they will apply, because it's free for them to do. It's just that what I want to say here is what their chances are when they do a total defense. It's a final game, although I understand maybe they're going for shootouts and such. But they must try to venture out to end the match in 90 minutes.
Actually AS Roma has the ability to do that, it's just that it depends on how the coach wants it, whether he wants to play defensively or play openly to finish the game in normal time.

What I don't understand about Mourinho is why he doesn't let Dybala get more play time. He only comes from the bench so often. He is in the starting eleven a litte bit more than 50% of the time. Is he really not on the level that he can start almost every game or is Mourinho so in love with his role as a joker? It can work out and it did a couple of times, but Dybala in top form is a player who should start the game. You want him on the pitch when you have dangerous standard situations close to the box. When you bring him on in the 75th minute and he doesn't get a single chance, of what help was it to put him on the bench in the first place?
Seeing from the current condition a little complicated I think.
Dybala's role at Roma was sometimes only as a second striker, but indeed in this case Mou always carried out a scheme to strengthen the midfield and defense so it was not uncommon for him to place 1 striker and seeing from the current conditions Belloti and Tammy always have bigger conditions in Mou's heart.
Maybe this is just speculation, but seeing from the current conditions, after it is rare for Dybala to play a good performance to help in the attack, he is a little left out, but on the other hand, Mou could also have his own views on this.
It would be better if he was given a little more trust because he could be one of the players who could be profitable for Rome's movement. We'll see in the final whether this will still happen or not.

The last week in the English Premier League was tense, because in 7th place there will still be a struggle for position which will be determined from the results of the last match in the Premier League. Tottenham currently has only 1 point difference behind Aston Villa, and it requires a win for Aston Villa to ensure they are ranked 7th in the final standings. Aston Villa will meet Brighton in the final match, and it will not be an easy task for them, because Brightin himself is a strong opponent. Meanwhile, Tottenham will face Leeds in their last game, and looking at the strength of the team, this should not be a difficult match, even though Tottenham is currently in a negative trend.


Meanwhile, in the red zone position, very interesting things also happened where the 3 clubs had to compete to stay in the Premier League next season. The 3 clubs are Everton (33), Leicester (31) and Leeds (31), they will also determine their fate in Week 38 or closing match. Who will be relegated this season?

Victor Oshime should give it a trail elsewhere
He is a fighter, stronger, has pace and drops deep to support his player's and midfielder's to press, he won't excel in clubs like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Chelsea is the final club that shou sign him after all the speculations.

Napoli already are good making deals with the blues, he'll be sold once agreements with the blues have been made, the delay might just be the absence of Chelsea in the Champions League, but that's no biggie.
For now, I don't agree if Victor Osimhen ends up joining Chelsea. It's not that I think Chelsea is a weak club, they are a strong club, it's just that they are in a situation that is not very, very good right now. Indeed wherever Victor Osimhen goes it will be a risk for him, such as not being able to adapt properly or something else. But I think if he chooses Chelsea now, the risk will be much bigger, because Chelsea is not in a good phase. Lots of clubs want him, I hope he chooses a much more stable club.
