https://dailypost.ng/2024/08/17/transfer-psg-set-to-return-for-osimhen-as-goncalo-ramos-fractures-ankle/

PSG might have to rekindle their interest in Victor Osimhen because of the ankle injury suffered by Goncalo Ramos in the 1-4 win over Le Havre. It is reported that the Portugal international will require surgery that might sideline him for close to three months. Chelsea will now have a strong competitor for the services of the Nigerian international. PSG was reluctant to secure Victor because they were relying on Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani. But with this long-term injury, signing a new striker has become unavoidable.

There is no other choice but to look for alternative players to replace Goncalo Ramos.
Victor Oshimen may be one of the players who was previously discussed but PSG is still reluctant to spend money to pay Victor Oshimen even though they are actually able to at least they continue to persuade the club to lower the price of this player or if PSG objects they can look for other cheaper players but this will waste time because they need a striker immediately to face the next match.
Chelsea don't seem to be interested in Victor Oshimen anymore so if PSG are interested they can just buy him without thinking twice.

And I don't think Osimhen will go anywhere next season, PSG until now there has been no further news between the player and the club, and I think Enrique is satisfied with his current players, and Chelsea will not spend that much money for one player, and I think Osimhen's fate will be a little uncertain because in Napoli he was also not included in Conte's squad but after Napoli suffered a crushing 3-0 defeat from their opponents I think Conte has to prepare him for next season because there is no other way than for them to unite because both parties need each other but the ego of all that makes them not have a good friendship.

There is no way out this season for Osimhen if Napoli does not immediately lower the price for him, no club dares to guarantee paying him like that and with the injury he suffered last season also being considered because Osimhen declined a little last season, now it's just him and Napoli, hopefully he will recover soon for his career and his shoes to continue his ball game, because there is no way out for him because of the price issue.

Now reportedly Sporting Lisbon is exploring the possibility of recruiting Vitor Roque from Barcelona and the fee offered is around 30m euros. There are additional additional if this deal happens and at least this will allow Barcelona to slightly reverse the capital that has been spent to bring in Vitor Roque previously.

As we all know, Vitor Roque's future is increasingly unclear at Barcelona and it is only a matter of time before the final decision this summer is determined. Moreover, Lewandowski's performance at the beginning of this season was quite promising so that Vitor Roque's chances of filling the starter are getting thinner. It seems that Barcelona could let him go but whether Vitor Roque wants to go, no one knows yet. Well, this will be the decisive moment because talks between Sporting Lisbon and Barcelona continue.

There is bad news for Barcelona bout their experienced player İlkay Gündoğan. Since İlkay Gündoğan joined Barcelona he helped the team a lot and he was effective for this team during the time when Xavi was working there, even Fick needed this German player.
İlkay Gündoğan played for Manchester City before and was one of the best players of Pep Guardiola to help this coach win the titles.  A few hours before the game they had against Valencia they removed his name from the list and it seems İlkay Gündoğan is not happy in this team anymore. Gündoğan even had some offers from the Saudi League but it seems he contacted Manchester City and he said he is ready to come back and play for this team which is not good for Barcelona.

Vitor Roque agent was refuse to loan to other clubs so if Barcelona doesn't needed Vitor Roque service anymore then Vitor Roque agent asking to Barcelona to sell him immediatelly this summer and Hansi Flick was not including him to Barcelona this season plan so that's why Barcelona didn't register Vitor Roque as their player to Laliga which mean Barcelona is really want to sell him

Previously there were several clubs who interesting to Vitor Roque such as Everton and Real Betis but apparently this news is only remains rumours because these clubs were never bid for Vitor Roque but seems Sporting is really serious want to gets Vitor Roque and the latest news about this transfer is Sporting officially bid for him and Sporting still wait Vitor Roque agent decision whether he will accept this offer or not

Chelsea owner Todd Boehly left his club's game today against today against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge just before the final whistle. It's reported that the club's chairman was infuriated with the performance and result of his players and is now prepared to meet Napoli's demand on Victor Osimhen. Considering the number of players Chelsea have signed already this summer, do you think the report that the club owner wants to sign the club is true or not.

Disappointment is a natural thing because no club owner expects defeat from the club he owns, especially with the amount of money they have spent, so it is quite natural to feel disappointed.
But in this case, of course, we are also aware that good results will not come instantly, especially with the initial chaos where Todd did not care about needs and only bought players according to his wishes, so Todd must also be aware that he is taking a role in the performance that is not too certain now.

Bringing Osimhen is also not immediately the answer to the results because after all, even though there was a good situation when Osimhen was at Chelsea, but for performance issues, it must still be based on the coaching method and the scheme that will be carried out because 1 player will not change the overall performance even though he is a good player.

There is bad news for Barcelona bout their experienced player İlkay Gündoğan. Since İlkay Gündoğan joined Barcelona he helped the team a lot and he was effective for this team during the time when Xavi was working there, even Fick needed this German player.

Gündoğan even had some offers from the Saudi League but it seems he contacted Manchester City and he said he is ready to come back and play for this team which is not good for Barcelona.
 

Is this true? because I haven't heard about this news. However, if this news is true, then this is something that will be detrimental for Barcelona, ​​because as you said he is a good player and can have a positive impact on Barcelona's game. If he is not happy here, then in my opinion it will have an impact in the game, because the player must be comfortable in the team to be able to show his best game.
If he contacts Manchester City again, I'm not so sure Manchester City will accept him again. The reason is that even before Fia went to Barcelona, ​​his contract was not extended and that meant that Manchester City no longer needed the services of this player. Now Pep Guardiola also prioritizes younger players, because he also needs to regenerate for the future of Manchester City. So in my opinion the opportunity to return to England, specifically Manchester City, is closed.

Chelsea owner Todd Boehly left his club's game today against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge just before the final whistle. It's reported that the club's chairman was infuriated with the performance and result of his players and is now prepared to meet Napoli's demand on Victor Osimhen. Considering the number of players Chelsea have signed already this summer, do you think it's a good move for the club owner to sign Victor Osimhen this summer?

Chelsea transfer policy is a big joke.    They have 42 players in the squad now. What the hell are they planning to do with that many players man? It is nonsense.

Boehly doesn't have a specific transfer plan. He just continues to sign as many players as possible. It can't go on like this. How does he even expect the players to have a solid coherence with each other?

I bet they don't even know each other yet. They should only make necessary signings. Just like Osimhen example. I believe a striker like him is needed. Jackson is very incapable.

[rahmad2nd]

Todd Boehly is a very impatient person in my opinion, and it seems he wants everything to be obtained instantly. Sacking Mauricio Pochettino is not a solution and it is actually a mistake. Maybe it would help a little if the replacement was a classy manager, which can really make a difference. But as for Enzo Maresca, I doubt that he will be better than what Pochettino has done.

Honestly, I'm not sure if just one classy manager can change Chelsea significantly, indeed the role of the coach or manager is an inseparable part. Chelsea has a lot of players, whether it's strikers, midfielders, defenders and even in the goalkeeper position, unfortunately not many players show good performance. btw, I refer to their debut match against City. so, this is not a definite benchmark for their performance for the next matches. talking about Enzo Maresca, we know very well that Enzo did need time to bring Chelsea to be much more developed. after all, their first match was against Manchester City, the most competitive team in the Premier League. it's only natural that Chelsea lost, we can judge that City is much more prepared overall. Maresca has a difficult job, he has to put the ideal composition for his team. besides, the player factor is also the most important part. IMO, Chelsea does not have a finisher who can score goals. as for Jackson, he is quite good but has difficulty scoring goals. let alone Guiu, a young striker who is not necessarily consistent.

It is not surprising that he felt angry when faced with the fact that Chelsea lost to Man City because what he had in mind was that what he was trying to change would make Chelsea strong but it turned out to be very different from his expectations. Nor would it be surprising if in the near future, Chelsea will be blindly looking for a striker, whatever the price and the way, and they might even chase Osimhen again.

Well, i agree with the point you said, that is if it is true that Todd Boehly wants Chelsea's performance development in a short time. it seems that it is not an easy job for Maresca, he still needs time to explore the strength of the team he is coaching. talking about strikers, Chelsea really needs one who is much sharper and more established. that is why Osimhen is still linked with his move to Stamford Bridge, regarding the price and agreement so far there has been no word stating a deal from all parties.

Gündoğan even had some offers from the Saudi League but it seems he contacted Manchester City and he said he is ready to come back and play for this team which is not good for Barcelona.
 

According to the recent reports, he has offered himself to back to be signed by Manchester City his former club because he feels like Barcelona are pushing him out of the club forcefully even though he has no such plans to leave Barcelona.

I can not say why Barcelona are doing all these though, could it be because of his payrolls? Or could his presence be affecting the game time for one of these young lads in the squad. Maybe they should have communicated before ha d to him that they don't have plans for him this season rather than go underneath pushing him away from.the club.

Not just him Viktor Roque has also been linked to Sporting Lisbon and I'm hell sure he'll do well down that ends. They're another side when it comes to young players growth, development and management.

Lo Celso is rumoured with Mourinho's team Fenerbahçe recently. Tottenham is prepared to sacrifice him as far as I have heard. This is making things easier for Fenerbahçe. Besides Mourinho and Lo Celso worked together at Tottenham back in the day. This could also be a big help for Fenerbahçe to convince him.    I don't think he will have big costs for them. Mourinho has been expecting a midfielder signing and this could be the one.

This can also help breaking the ice between Mourinho and the chairman Ali Koç as well. Because it is said Mourinho isn't contented with not signing a new midfielder.

Mourinho is an influential manager with wide connections. Many players could come to Fenerbahçe with his invitation. But I think Fenerbahçe president Ali Koç is waiting for the European transfer window to close. When the European transfer window closes, there will be an opportunity for Fenerbahçe to buy some players at a cheaper price. So far Ali Koç has already signed Yusuf en-Nesyri and Allan Saint-Maximin. But I don't think he has pressed the transfer button yet. I have no doubt that they will make the best signings when the time comes. I think they are waiting for the right time. In the season they bring Mourinho, they won't play with mediocre players. They will make the best transfers.

Todd Boehly must accept all these results because after all this is also due to the club's decision to prioritize recruiting young players over experienced players. So he should not hope that his team will immediately become a strong team if it only relies on young players who have just been brought in. Everyone at the club including players and coaches needs to adapt and Todd Boehly must be patient and give coaches and players more time to make Chelsea's performance better.

bringing in Osimhen was a good decision in my view. Because Osimhen is an experienced striker. He is used to even big matches like the UCL. So I think if Chelsea brings in Osimhen then at least Chelsea will have a goal scoring machine up front.

Todd Boehly ambition is very big, he wants to make Chelsea a strong team in the EPL in a short time, the defeat from Manchester City is certainly unacceptable to him because the result was never expected, especially since he has spent a lot of money to recruit new players. But he has to look at it realistically, Manchester City is not a team like Fulham or West Ham, it takes a lot of power to beat Manchester City.

Bringing in Osimhen wouldn't be a bad move, as long as he can get the transfer done, Chelsea fans will welcome him with joy. Osimhen's arrival could also increase competition in the front line, this situation will certainly make Chelsea players compete to win a place in the main squad. Todd Boehly has to trust the process, this is just the first game and the defeat they suffered was against the strongest team in the EPL.

Many German clubs want to get Tomas Palacios. Reportedly they offered €10 million, but Palacios wanted to go to Inter. He currently plays at the Independiente Rivadivia as a loan player from Talleres. Palacios is 21 years old, even he does want to go to Inter. This condition is certainly beneficial for Inter, they want to get Alessandro Bastoni's coating. This is in line with the desire of the Management who want to have young players for a long project.

They definitely need a player like Osimhen. Good in the air, good with his feet, great movement and physically strong. Jackson makes good runs but gets into too many Messes with his feet. Also, the squad needs time to gel as there are so many new players under a new manager.

Boehly hurrying off? Thats not just frustration, thats a man who cares, a man who wants Chelsea to win. But Chelsea's window of transfer is a disaster. They needed a striker, everyone knows that. Jackson. Not slashing it. Osimhen would have been the solution; he is a proven goalscorer with UCL experience, the entire package. But hello, 42 players and counting, who needs quality?

This is about winning not about quantity. Chelsea needs a striker who can deliver, and they missed their chance. Osimhen off the table, and that's a major loss. The group is big; the chemistry is questionable; the clock is running. So, what now? Boehly's has to find it quickly. Chelsea's playing catch-up as this season's already under progress. They need results; they need a plan; they need leadership. The fans deserve better.

I am not surprised by the defeat felt by Chelsea in this match, even from the beginning I predicted Manchester City would win even though they acted as guests in this match. And it's true they were able to win through 2 goals scored by Haaland and Kovacic. But in terms of the game they actually didn't play badly, they could still show a slightly better game, it's just that they weren't that good to be able to win.

Chelsea already has many players registered in the squad, if they bring in Osimhen again, then their players will increase again. I don't understand what's really on Chelsea's mind right now. Because isn't having too many players a waste for them? because it's impossible for all players to play, right? so they can choose which players are more. They have to be more effective in appointing players who will be part of the team.

I think he can help Napoli to achieve something this season, the club realise that and the player is willing to leave the club, especially there are offers from good clubs. And this is the reason why they are raising the price, because they can't refuse clubs because of the player's desire, because they have already discussed everything and Napoli have the last word. Overall I don't see their fault, they want to keep the player and that's their right

With all the indications from the preseason games and the first match of the season against Verona today that they eventually got beaten it is clear that they don’t want to keep him anymore. He has been left out of the squad to look for a new team which wouldn’t be the case if they don’t want to sell. Last season when they had the opportunity to sell him and they didn’t want to sell him they made it publicly clear and now I don’t think they want to keep him with the club statement and the interest in Lukaku, right now they have more problems at hand than just Osimhen. The reason why they haven’t actually reduce the price tag might be because there is still Time and probably when a club comes for negotiations they will agree on a certain amount with them.

I do agree that Napoli couldn't do the transfers they wanted, which is causing a little bit of issues because they got ready for them and didn't do them. Like how Lukaku is still not there, and they really want him, Conte said he wants Lukaku nearly 2 months ago and yet they still couldn't get him, and he said this because everyone knew that they would sell Osimhen, but they wanted way more than they should so they still haven't sold him neither.

There is still some time left, they still could do these, but I doubt that it will happen, at this point I think they realized that they have to keep Osimhen and not get Lukaku, and this is just two examples, there are many more stuff they failed too. I hope they recover from this loss quickly.

They need results; they need a plan; they need leadership. The fans deserve better.

Todd Boehly seemed very disappointed with what Chelsea got in their first match this season, after spending a lot of money in the transfer market of course Todd Boehly hoped that Chelsea would be able to win every match they played but apparently they failed to do so, Chelsea's game was actually very impressive by relying on the speed of the right and letf wings, but the absence of a capable target man on the front line actually means that many opportunities are wasted, apart from that, what Maresca did by plotting Jackson as Chelsea main striker is clearly a bad strategy because he is not the type of player who is tough and a fighter when facing tough defenders.

Chelsea currently really needs a pure striker who can be a reliable fighter in their front line, in fact they have Lukaku but as we know he is not included in Enzo Maresca plan squad so far , so that is why Chelsea should immediately reach an exchange agreement between Lukaku and Osimhen currently in order to strengthen their attack line, Chelsea and Napoli have so far had the same problems in their squad and of course exchanging these players can be a good solution for both of them at this time.

A classy statement from a player who was  thrown away last season for just £25 million for a player worth £100 million.

[Swordsoffreedom]

What has kept Osimhen transfer to still lingering is due to the market value placed on him with clubs like Arsenal, Bayern Munich who were earlier in the race too backing down leaving Chelsea and PSG still keen to acquiring him, although this would have been a done deal for PSG already but at a time they got unserious after evaluating their squad but their interest later rekindle amidst Goncalo Ramos injury.

But like I had said earlier, if PSG will be willing to incur all the requirements in acquiring Osimhen then is most likely he will agree a deal with the French giant since he will be playing in the champions league if he gets to join them. Everything about his fate will eventually unfold as the window transfer duration get winds down, however, I still maintain my stance that Chelsea are the team with a good looking advantage in this race for Osimhen despite not featuring in the UCL.

There is only 1 solution for Osimhen transfer to be realized, namely Napoli must lower its market value according to the club's capabilities. If this solution is not implemented, then Napoli and Osimhen will remain in the same position, standing still and doing nothing. Then about Chelsea, do you think everything is easy when you already have 44 players, is it still not enough? It doesn't matter as long as Todd Boehly money never runs out, but before that, as an illustration or simple comparison for you, today Chelsea will face Manchester City. Here we can judge with Chelsea squad of more than 40 whether Enzo Maresca has found the right composition to stop Manchester City.

The results of this first match will determine how good or bad Chelsea transfer is. Like it or not, it must be accepted considering that Chelsea has more players to choose from. If they fail to conquer Manchester City, it means buying that many players will be considered in vain.

Even if Chelsea buys Osimhen, their performance won't change that much. Look at any new signings they have made recently, most of them have not been able to perform up to their expectations. Mudryk, Caicedo are prime examples. They haven't done much of anything. Cole Palmer, Connor Gallagher, and others have carried this club in the last season. Without them, the results would have been much worse for Chelsea. Osimhen may or may not perform like he has been performing in Napoli. On the other hand, they are about to sell one of their best performers of last season, Connor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid. If that happens then Joao Felix will also be joining Chelsea, who also flopped a little when he was at Chelsea.

But I think by the end of the transfer season, Osimhen will find a new home. I don’t think he is happy in Napoli and he will be pushing Napoli officials to do the deals.

Finally, Chelsea has reached a deal with ATM  on the signing of Joao Felix on a six years contract with a 12 months optional addition. I think this is no bad signing, at this time Chelsea really need a striker with a goal scoring capacity. I am suspecting that there loss to Manchester City yesterday must have fast tracked this deal. But the question now is that, does this cancels Chelsea's further interest on Victor Osimhen of Napoli whose future has been that of contention between Chelsea and PSG.
