Nice to see Conor McGregor posting training videos again. It seemed like he was a little quiet there for a minute. He seems to be back in the lab and preparing for his next fight now. I personally can’t wait to see him fight again as he was always the most entertaining MMA fighter. Hopefully he can get himself a win. It’s a long time coming now.

He might post million videos of him training, but until he signs agreement to pass USADA tests, I wont consider him to be preparing seriously for something. He might post whatever he wants (Gaethje recently posted that is ready to fight Conor and all Conor should is to sign a contract, to which Conor replied in his tweet "signed"), say what ever he wants. But until he is not passing tests, he is out of fighting business. I even think he is no longer interested in fighting, but only keep his body sporty and image of a fighter, but is more interested in business.

I think with all that are happening around to Connor McGregor, thinking about retiring as a fighter. And because, as long as he is going to stay in the fighting business, he is only going to hurt his legacy more. So he should be thinking about business from now on instead of fighting. Now, of course, I understand that and he is someone who has the kind eye of the UFC. And I think probably Dana White is also not going to let him retire. And obviously the way he became big like a balloon, he will certainly have to pass the Usada test. Otherwise there is not going to be a fight in my opinion. He is surely injecting something in his body to get that big. You don’t get that big in that short amount of time even if you are genetically gifted.

Raya is 27 years old and a young goalkeeper. Ramsdale is a 25-year-old and younger goalkeeper. If the two of them are to stay at Arsenal, there will be a jersey battle between them. Apart from injury, I think both goalkeepers are very open to competition. It is clear that both goalkeepers want to be in the starting 11th. Whether it's Raya or Ramsdale, both goalkeepers give Arsenal a boost.
Raya will be included in starting 11th, if Ramsdale is already a good goalkeeper, Arsenal will not looking for other goalkeeper and spend good amount of money. The good thing of having two goalkeepers are making them to compete each other, so Ramsdale might able to overtake Raya or vice versa.
As long as Raya's and Ramsdale's ego are good, they will able to royal and not joining other team.
Competition in the team to become the top choice in the squad is something that is usually experienced by players. this wouldn't be Ramsdale if indeed coaches could judge how both of them were performing.
Ramsdale did his best last season for Arsenal. and the competition I think will be pretty good for the two goalkeepers. and for the coach, of course having alternative choices would be better for him if he gets into a bad situation. Now Arsenal are planning well for this season, and they don't want to repeat their mistake and lose a trophy.

Arsenal management does not want to repeat the same mistakes. Last season Arsenal would have won the title if their bench team had been stronger. The team lost trucks after several Arsenal players were injured. Arsenal had no suitable replacements. This led to their erratic performance, and they eventually fell behind Manchester City in the title race.

Arsenal are trying to strengthen their starting XI as well as keep their qualified substitute squad. As a result, the team will be able to maintain the consistency of performance. Even if a player faces an injury, they won't face too many problems. That's why they want to add Dawid Raya to the squad despite having a good goalkeeper like Ramsdale in the squad.

India team performance was good in the last match as everyone was expecting this. West Indies made almost same target as previous match. But in the last match fortunately West Indies won the match but in this match India showed its power. And there is 2 matches left of this series if India will win these 2 matches than Indian will win the series. And now the series is scoring at 2-1.
Suryakumar Yadav alone changed the game. I watched the game full game except for the last few overs. West Indies was 50 without a loss, and I was expecting them to score around 180-190 because they had ten wickets in hand. But, Pandya used their bowler very cleverly to restrict West Indies under 160. I was expecting another great show from Pooran but a single batter cannot perform every day.
I placed a bet against India hoping West Indies will give their best and try to win the series with 2 matches to go. I lost my bet but good to see India play well with some young players. Pandya could give a chance to Tilak Varma to score a single run to fulfil his half-century.
In the third T20 match, the Indian team won by performing very well. Surayakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma played the biggest role in ensuring the victory of the Indian team in this difficult result for India. And after losing two matches to the West Indies, the Indian team is still strong and it is a proof of that. Although the Indian team had a fall of wickets in the beginning, they performed better later on. And the West Indies bowling did not perform well especially with many fielding misses. The downfall of the West Indies team is confirmed mainly due to bowling.
India's batting was a big concern in the first two games, mainly because their best batter struggled. But in the third T20I, SKY's scored runs and led India to a strong win. A dominating performance overall. Surayakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma were the heroes in this chase. Unfortunately, Tilak missed his half-century due to a deliberate play by Pandya. Now India's target should be to draw the series first and then win it 3-2.

This Indian squad is not weak. Strong enough squad. Every player in the squad is very talented. We have seen the great performance of these players in IPL. India's talented players. However, due to a lack of experience, the performance of these players is not regular. This is why India is having trouble winning against West Indies.

In the first two matches of the ODI series, we saw very poor batting from the Indian batsmen. But their performance in the third match impressed everyone. India played badly in the first two matches of the T20 series as well, and were defeated. They managed to make a comeback in the third match. India still have chances to win the series. There is no surprise if India won the last two matches. India has this capability.

And I think the problem is not on them, but the bad guys who take advantage of it and appear in the news which was heralded by the media.

When someone misjudges a problem, it's their fault, they have no knowledge of it but always think they are intelligent and right. So I'll take it as their fault. If someone thinks bitcoin is related to crime then ask them, crime came first or bitcoin came first, and what criminals used before bitcoin. Like gun crime, the crime here is the gun user, not the gun maker, and it's not the gun's fault. It can be said that crime is formed from human behavior. Those who understand that but still insist on blaming bitcoin, you should stay away from their stupidity to avoid wasting time.
965  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would Bitcoin recover even if it fell to one dollar? on: August 09, 2023, 03:24:03 AM
What actually do you mean, OP? Are you referring to the value of Bitcoin? The numbers that show up as a price for bitcoin? Well, we are the ones who created this system. It is easy to determine a value using US dollars, and that's the reason why we added a value to Bitcoin using it. Other than that, the existing value has nothing to do with bitcoin. This is how thing works. You give someone 2 potatoes. He gives you back 1 potato from his side, which is equivalent to your two potatoes. A trade happens here! Now imagine the same thing happening for two different kind of things.
That's how we used to determine value in the past. Now we use a common currency, in this case that is US dollar.

But when we consider 1 BTC= 1 BTC, that value becomes nothing. Even if the price of Bitcoin falls to 0, it will still worth the value. Because we will then trade with equivalent to Bitcoin's original value. 1 BTC= 1 BTC,  0.069BTC = 0.069BTC.

1BTC=1BTC, but if 1BTC=0 USD, it becomes garbage, like it or not, that's reality and what's going on. Are you willing to buy bitcoin for $69k and spend it when it's only $15k? I bet you can't and won't do that, and if you don't, you're also acknowledging that the value of bitcoin still needs to depend on the currency. As long as fiat remains the primary measure of value in our world, never expect that the value of bitcoin will break free from that dependency.

In fact, 1BTC=1BTC is a useful advice for long-term investors so that people always hold their bitcoins, don't panic sell when the market is dumped, nothing more and nothing less.

Bayern Munich VS Monaco

I am enjoying the friendly match of Bayern Munich vs Monaco. The Monaco team cannot be called weak. A strong enough team. However, Bayern Munich are playing well. Their performance is very good in today's match. Bayern Munich lead 3-1 after 60 minutes. Bayern Munich managed to have 59% of the ball. Bayern Munich can attack a lot. Musiala's performance today is excellent.

However, Bayern Munich's overall performance looks pretty tidy. However, their defense is still showing some weakness. Thomas Tuchel needs more work on Bayern Munich's defence. And Harry Kane needs Munich too.
Bayern Munich still has a strength that is very difficult to beat by Monaco. Bayern Munich does not play with all its might but still maintains its stamina so that the games in the coming season will remain in very good performance conditions. When they saw the weakness in the defense, maybe it was intentional because they knew Monaco would not easily get past the Bayern Munich defense, which is often used when playing against other big clubs.
Victory with a score of 4-2 became an important asset for Thomas Tuchel's squad, which will soon start the Bundesliga competition in the next 10 days. If we look at Bayern Munich's formation, they use Matyhs Tel as the main striker and he seems to be playing pretty well even though he didn't score a single goal in this match. However, the Bayern Munich winger was very active in creating opportunities to score goals and it was proven that Gnabry and Sane were on the scoresheet in the match against Monaco. On the other hand, Musiala still plays an important role as a goal scoring machine when needed. But still, I think that for a more competitive competition, Bayern Munich cannot continue to randomly assign responsibilities to other players and they must immediately complete a deal with Harry Kane while his time is still available.

Thanks to Thomas Tuchel, Bayern Munich's overall performance is now in order. The bond between the team players has strengthened. And so their overall performance has improved.
Bayern Munich have a number of talented players in their attack. Leroy Sane, Coman, Choupo Moting, Thomas Muller and Mathys Tel are all quite talented striekr. But it is somewhat difficult for them to perform well on a regular basis. If Thomas Tuchel can use these players well, Bayern Munich will undoubtedly become stronger. And if Munich can sign an experienced striker like Harry Kane, then Tuchel will be able to build a strong squad to dominate the Champions League. Even without Harry Kane, the Munich team is very strong.
967  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Another Fud in the market and bitcoin volatility on: August 08, 2023, 09:30:54 AM
OP is using terms such as volatility and DUMP.. yet the price for the last 10 days have still remained in the average range of $29k-$29.7k

this is just normal wiggles.. 3% range for 10 days is not volatile, nor dump
Or He do not really understand what FUD means in the market and how this means to affect the volatility because like you mentioned , bitcoin is still holding at 29k and only drops to 28k few days ago but in short period only again recovered to 29 back.
though Fud will keeps banging the market but this is not how the effect means.
now investors are smarter at understanding the market, which doesn't really matter if FUD is spread, we can see the difference between FUD in 2018 and now, where at that time many people panicked after the anti-climax of the market reached its highest point, it was different with at this time, where even though there was a bearish trend, it was not as extreme as that time. therefore, because we are bitcoiners, we must be good at filtering news so that we don't lose ourselves
FUD actually only matters in newbie , because these days our engagement in crypto deepen and we already knew what is the real score in the market.
not like in the past that we have limited way to learn and understand crypto, now it is all over this forum and all over the internet.


I think Fud is important for both new and old, newbies will be nervous and panicking when Fud comes and they don't like having too much Fud in the market. But for those with experience in the market, FUd will make them happier because newbies will panic sell and that's when they go shopping at a high discount to enrich their portfolio. That's also what the sharks are doing quietly, they spread Fuds to scare the newbies are panic selling so they can buy it cheaply.
968  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin or banking investment? on: August 08, 2023, 09:20:17 AM
don't forget about inflation. although you get little percentage of interest but you cannot avoid the inflation as long as your fund is in form of fiat. it is just my personal opinion but I don't really feel the risk of investing in bitcoin. before I  become a day trader I just a long term bitcoin holder. Sometime I put some amount of my btc in local exchange and leave it for 6 to 12 months and there is nothing bad that happen. I just see my money value grow.
I always prefer to invest in bitcoins because I think investing in bitcoins is safe. Investing in bitcoins will never cause inflation. So I prefer investing in bitcoins than keeping money in banks. Keeping money in banks can cause inflation.  So I don't keep money in bank. But I have made good money by investing in bitcoins. I invest at right time and sell bitcoins at right time. I get good amount of profit every month.

In my opinion, we invest in bitcoin to hedge against fiat devaluation and seek wealth, but not really we are looking for the safety of investing in bitcoin. Investing in bitcoin is risky and there is no guarantee that it will always be profitable for everyone, I would doubt it if someone claimed bitcoin could give them a monthly profit.

@rikybrosh: you were wrong in deciding to invest in bitcoin to avoid the potential risks of depositing money in a bank, but you chose to keep your bitcoins on centralized exchanges for such a long time. Is that any different than you depositing money in the bank?
969  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A clothing apparel store in my home city accepting BTC payments on: August 08, 2023, 09:01:59 AM
But the owner of the business should consider payment directly to a decentralized wallet instead of using centralized exchanges.
Take note that so many businesses that accept payment in BTC would rather use a payment processor than a self custody wallet because they want to convert it immediately to fiat, because they don't have any intention of holding their payments in BTC, especially because of volatility, another reason is that most businesses immediately put back the money they make into the business by buying more goods with it, if they hold their payments in BTC, and the price drops, they may not be able to sell it when they want to and it will affect their business.

I don't think the wallet a merchant uses is important, they only want to give people the opportunity to make their payment in BTC, which helps with adoption, while they can decide to either hold the BTC or use a payment processor to convert it immediately to fiat.

That's right, don't put too much emphasis on centralized or decentralized wallets if we use bitcoin as a means of payment and not as an investment. For businesses even if they accept bitcoin, they won't hold it for too long. At the end of the day, they will definitely exchange them for fiat to avoid unnecessary losses due to the volatility of bitcoin. Using a non-custodial wallet in this case doesn't help, on the contrary, we have to pay extra transaction fees to convert them to fiat at the end of the day.

I don't think Munich was intentionally showing weakness in defense. Munich conceded two goals against Monaco. Although this was intentional, the team conceded three goals against Liverpool in the previous match. Did Munich intentionally concede a goal against Liverpool?

Munich has a lot of weaknesses in defense. This is evident from their performance. However, if Manuel Neuer was the goalkeeper, Bayern Munich might not have conceded so many goals.

Munich continues to try to add Kane as a forward. However, Tottenham have repeatedly rejected Bayern Munich's offer. Chances of getting Harry Kane in the team are decreasing. However, Bayern Munich needs an experienced striker.

Tottenham have turned down the offer worth 100m euros coming from Bayern Munich as well. It is really unbelievable.  Cheesy
Bayern Munich are going to discuss this topic but it was said before that this was their final offer. Hence I won't be surprised if Bayern Munich officials decide to withdraw their interest from this transfer completely from now on. Then I wonder who their next target is going to be. Would they like to sign a younger player who costs them higher than Kane? For example Osimhen. Things can get quite interesting after this news as Bayern Munich desperately need a striker not only for the Bundesliga but also the Champions League.
Tottenham reject latest Harry Kane offer from Bayern Munich
I don't know what Tottenham management wants. 100 million is a huge amount. Still I don't understand why Tottenham management don't want to let go of Harry Kane.
Tottenham should sell Harry Kane for 100 million. Because no other club is yet interested in paying so much for Tottenham. Bayern Munich first offered 70 million for Kane. And now Bayern Munich are interested in spending 100 million. Kane's contract with Tottenham expires in June next year. If Tottenham don't sell Kane now, Kane could be seen joining Bayern Munich as a free agent next season. It will certainly be a huge loss for Tottenham.
Kane himself has also asked to sell it. but it looks like Tottenham will lose Kane and will get nothing if they keep holding Kane and turn down the fantastic offers from Bayern.
although Tottenham desperately need Kane, it has proved with several offers of a raise. but if Tottenham don't manage to get Kane's signature to extend the contract, they will be sorry for such a big money.
Tottenham should have prepared for this with a better plan in the past. now they are in a dilemma. I'm sure it is.

Harry Kane is no longer interested in staying at Tottenham. And Kane himself wants to leave the team this season. Because he will never win the title at Tottenham. Tottenham management does not spend a lot of money to build the squad. And Tottenham's squad is not strong enough to win the title. Harry Kane wants to stay with a team that has a title-worthy squad. Bayern Munich could be a suitable team for Kane. However, Tottenham do not want to sell Kane. They will probably do their best to keep Kane in the squad. Will offer to increase Kane's wages. But I think Tottenham will probably agree to Munich's offer in the end. Because no club wants to face financial loss.

In the end, Bayern Munich managed to win this match 4-2. There is no doubt that Bayern Munich performed very well. However, Monaco's performance was also quite good. They managed to fight hard against Munich. Musiala, Gnaby Laimer and Sane's performances were good in today's match. Musiala managed a goal and an assist today.

Munich won 4-3 against Liverpool, Munich won 4-2 in today's match. Munich won both matches though. However, they conceded 7 goals. It is easy to understand that Munich's defense is somewhat weak. If you want to do well in the Champions League, Bayern Munich has no other option but to strengthen the defense.
Receiving 7 goals in two matches is something ridiculous in my opinion. It required Barcelona to receive these goals after like 30 games... I understand that these games are friendlies and their opponents are quite good but we are talking about the best team in Bundesliga vs teams that failed to be in the first ranks of their leagues.
Tuchel has a lot to do to improve his defence line.

Both Monaco and Liverpool were strong enough. However, Bayern Munich won both matches. But they conceded 5 goals in two matches. The defense needs to be improved very quickly. At the same time, Bayern Munich is able to score 8 goals in two matches. Although it seems that Bayern Munich's attack is very strong. They still need a regular scorer. I say this because Bayern Munich will be looking to dominate both the Bundesliga and the Champions League next season. This is why veterans need scorers now. Otherwise, it will be challenging for Bayern Munich to perform well in the Champions League. However, the players have been able to adapt well to Thomas Tuchel's match strategy. Munich's overall performance is pretty good.

So far, we have seen a lot of goals in this match Shocked. Bayern Munich has scored four and Monaco has scored two. I was a little surprised to see Monaco opening the scoring of this match. But Bayern Munich did not waste any time and scored after two minutes of that event. 80 minutes have been played and I don’t think there is any chance for Monaco to make a comeback in this match. I also agree that the defence of Bayern Munich still need some work. But at the same time it is a friendly match end Bayern Munich should try out different things to find what will work best for them.

In the end, Bayern Munich managed to win this match 4-2. There is no doubt that Bayern Munich performed very well. However, Monaco's performance was also quite good.

I can't find any reason to think the Barcelona team is still weak. Barcelona conceded just 20 goals in La Liga last season. Their defense is strong. They have shown that their defenders have the ability to perform well.

Lewandowski, the main player in Barcelona's attack, is quite talented and experienced. He was the top scorer in La Liga last season. In the friendly matches, we have seen the performance of Barcelona's young players Ansu fati and Raphinha improve. At the same time, Dembele is playing very well.

Barcelona have signed Xavi Gundogan to bolster their midfield. Barcelona's defense, midfield and attack are now strong enough. This is why I think the team has the potential to do well in next season's Champions League.
Actually we can't guess from a defensive point of view they are strong in the domestic league whereas we are in a big UCL game and in fact it's a different class, so it has to be from the UCL championship point of view how barcelona failed last season, that's why Xavi has time to fix his failure in Last season's UCL at least saw how its ability to overhaul players with a better strategy to win the league last season.

If you look at the preparation that has been mature right now maybe barcelona has looked better enough with the arrival of Gundogan also maybe they will improve in their midfield, I think this is the time when Xavi can show his quality as a coach and show other great clubs that exist in UCL, at least Barcelona has risen from adversity and maybe could have made it to the UCL final.  Cheesy

I watched Barcelona's performances in the Champions League and Europa League last season. I think Barcelona doesn't give a full effort in Champions League and Europa League matches. They gave a full effort in La Liga matches. And as a result, they won the title. Barcelona's performance in La Liga has been very consistent. But Barcelona's performance in the Champions League and Europa League matches seems to be very weak.

But winning the Champions League title is very difficult. Barcelona now have a strong squad. Coach Xavi is very hardworking. If Xavi can keep the Barcelona team stable next season too. And Barcelona's match strategy is better. So Barcelona has the potential to do well in the Champions League. But I think Xavi should make some changes in his match tactics to do well in the Champions League.
977  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: August 06, 2023, 06:32:43 AM
It is always difficult to determine who will win the Champions League title, especially when the season has not started. Manchester City certainly have a chance to repeat their success, but to defend the Champions League title then I think it is the most difficult challenge for any coach. Pep Guardiola is expected to keep his chances good, but all the teams that will be competing in the Champions League will also be pushing for the title.
Manchester City is an exemplary club, their performance is incredible and replicating this action in the following campaign, with an eye on the UEFA Champions League, would be extremely difficult for them. Real Madrid was the only team capable of winning the UEFA Champions League three times in a row, indicating gratitude and accomplishment at Santiago Bernabeu. They made it appear to be simple and while some football fans thought their victory was manipulated, I thought it was hard efforts from the coach and the players. Pep Guardiola wants to win the Champions League again, but it's impossible since other clubs aren't giving up and are giving their all in the league.
Guardiola wants to win the Champions League again. And I would say that Manchester City will remain at the top of the favorites for the Champions League title next season as well. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, United teams can be considered favorites for next season's Champions League. And among all these teams, Manchester City team can be said to be stable.
Bayern Munich are trying their best to strengthen their squad. And they are bringing in Harry Kane to strengthen the attack. Manchester United team is also spending a lot of money to strengthen the team. But whether they will be able to perform consistently in the next season is yet to be said for sure. But winning the Champions League title is not an easy task for any team.
But I wonder why you still include Barcelona as a candidate team to be able to get the Champions League title next season. Because in reality, in the last two seasons Barcelona has performed very badly in the Champions League and also in the Europa League. So, with Barcelona's very poor performance like that in the last two seasons, I don't think Barcelona can be included or entered to become a candidate team to win the Champions League title next season. Also about Manchester City, basically Manchester City still has a chance. That means, Manchester City is still quite likely to be able to repeat its success even though it won't be easy but still, Manchester City has a chance.

I can't find any reason to think the Barcelona team is still weak. Barcelona conceded just 20 goals in La Liga last season. Their defense is strong. They have shown that their defenders have the ability to perform well.

Lewandowski, the main player in Barcelona's attack, is quite talented and experienced. He was the top scorer in La Liga last season. In the friendly matches, we have seen the performance of Barcelona's young players Ansu fati and Raphinha improve. At the same time, Dembele is playing very well.

Barcelona have signed Xavi Gundogan to bolster their midfield. Barcelona's defense, midfield and attack are now strong enough. This is why I think the team has the potential to do well in next season's Champions League.

Real Madrid will definitely need a suitable replacement for Benzema if they want to be La Liga champions next season. Without a suitable replacement for Benzema, Real Madrid's chances of winning La Liga are very low. Because Barcelona are in very good form. Xavi is trying to strengthen his team this season. On the other hand, the Real Madrid team has become weaker after losing Benzema. Despite having talented players like Vini, Rodrygo and Joselu in the squad, Real Madrid need a stronger attack if they want to stay in the title race with Barcelona. Barcelona will probably dominate La Liga next season if Mbappe is not included in the squad.
When talking about chances, we actually still don't know Real Madrid performance in new season. Maybe they have small chances as you say but maybe not, because Real Madrid can make surprise anyway. But yeah Real Madrid lacks a centre forward at there now is only Joselu, reportedly if Mbappe can't join with Real Madrid then they will sign Dusan Vlahovic, if this rumours are true so then there are two players in that position of centre forward. And maybe their chance to win La Liga will open up.

Real Madrid can certainly surprise. After Ronaldo left the team, we thought Real Madrid's performance would drop badly. But suddenly Benzema started to perform brilliantly. And Real Madrid's overall performance began to improve. And with Benzema gone, we are once again saying that Madrid's performance could deteriorate. Now there is no surprise that Vini and Rodrygo's performances have improved. Real Madrid management is very experienced. They know what they should do.

Mbappe is likely Madrid's main target. That's why they brought Joselu on loan. Dusan Vlahovic is quite talented. Madrid would certainly benefit from adding Dusan Vlahovic to the squad. However, PSG are very interested in signing Dusan Vlahovic. I think the chances of seeing Dusan Vlahovic with Madrid are slim.

Victor Osimhen is only 24 years old. Victor Osimhen's move to a club in Saudi Arabia at such a young age would be a foolish decision. Saudi Arabian clubs may offer high wages and opportunities to Victor Osimhen, but he will not be respected enough to play for a Saudi club. Can't play on a prestigious platform like the Champions League.
Victor Osimhen is a fantastic player. Clubs like PSG are also interested in having them in their squad. I agree with @legendbtc that Victor Osimhen should wait more. The likes of Manchester City, United and Liverpool will be desperate to sign Victor Osimhen in the coming years. And playing in the Premier League will be an even greater honor for Victor Osimhen.
Unbelievable news from Napoli after rejecting fantastic bid offer from Saudi Pro League team Al-Hilal for Victor Osimhen with 140 million euro, rumor Napoli have open bid offer 200 million euro for teams who interested signing Victor Osimhen. I don't think has chance for Victor Osimhen get interested with top European teams like Manchester United, Liverpool or PSG because they wont spent to 200 million euro as bid offer request from Napoli.

Victor Osimhen current contract will run out in 2025 and he needs patience waiting one or two years later moving to top European teams because difficult any teams have fund 200 million euro as fees transfer. I would like to see Victor Osimhen can play in Primer League as most competitive league around the world and show his quality as best striker right now.

Al Hilal's offer was very tempting for Napoli management and Osimhen. 140 million is not a small amount at all. And if Napoli demands 200 million then they can't sell Osimhen. There is no doubt that Osimhen is a talented player. But 200 million is a huge amount of money. Premier League clubs will probably not agree to spend so much money to add Osimhen to the team.

Al Hilal also agreed to pay Osimhen 1 million wages per week. Now Osimhen probably earns like 110000 euros per week from Napoli. Osimhen could have become very rich overnight. However, Osimhen probably has no interest in moving to a Saudi club. Perhaps we will see Osimhen with Napoli next season as well. Because no club will want to spend 200 million to bring Osimhen to the team.

It is always difficult to determine who will win the Champions League title, especially when the season has not started. Manchester City certainly have a chance to repeat their success, but to defend the Champions League title then I think it is the most difficult challenge for any coach. Pep Guardiola is expected to keep his chances good, but all the teams that will be competing in the Champions League will also be pushing for the title.
Manchester City is an exemplary club, their performance is incredible and replicating this action in the following campaign, with an eye on the UEFA Champions League, would be extremely difficult for them. Real Madrid was the only team capable of winning the UEFA Champions League three times in a row, indicating gratitude and accomplishment at Santiago Bernabeu. They made it appear to be simple and while some football fans thought their victory was manipulated, I thought it was hard efforts from the coach and the players. Pep Guardiola wants to win the Champions League again, but it's impossible since other clubs aren't giving up and are giving their all in the league.

Guardiola wants to win the Champions League again. And I would say that Manchester City will remain at the top of the favorites for the Champions League title next season as well. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, United teams can be considered favorites for next season's Champions League. And among all these teams, Manchester City team can be said to be stable.
Bayern Munich are trying their best to strengthen their squad. And they are bringing in Harry Kane to strengthen the attack. Manchester United team is also spending a lot of money to strengthen the team. But whether they will be able to perform consistently in the next season is yet to be said for sure. But winning the Champions League title is not an easy task for any team.
