~Snip~

About Osimhen, the strong rumor is to join Chelsea and if that really happens, then it looks likePSG will be difficult to get new players to fill the vacant position left by Mbappe. But, with events likethis also at least prove,that eventhough the team has a lot of money but it is still difficult for PSG to get great players with great potential.Because after all,the mainfactor of the team having a lot of great players is about great management as well and of course,  the team factor that has had a great history in the Champion League. Unfortunately,PSG still failed to make a great history in the Champions League despite previously PSG having players like Mbappe, Messi and Neymar and ofcourse some other great players.

As long as Chelsea has not officially signed Osimhen, anything could still happen, you must not forget that in the transfer market things always happen that you never expected. Osimhen could turn towards PSG because he has the opportunity to play in the Champions League, he can also win trophies easily there because PSG has always dominated Ligue 1.

Chelsea is improving after the failure of this season, Pochettino was fired because he was unable to improve Chelsea performance even though he had brought in several classy players. It took Osimhen more than two years to win the EPL trophy with Chelsea because the new coach needed time to make Chelsea appear consistent and the level of competition was very competitive. Meanwhile, he has a great opportunity to win the Ligue 1 trophy with PSG because so far PSG has always won the domestic trophy.

If we look at last season, Rennes would have been happy to finish in the top four, but what we have seen this season is that Rennes experienced quite a bad setback by finishing in 10th position in the standings. I think it's all because of the bad results they've had since the start of the season and even being at the bottom of the table for a while.

Even though there is an opportunity to improve it all in the middle of the season, Rennes repeatedly get results that are not very clear and perhaps their only best performance was in the European league. Despite all that, Rennes could have done better and they should not be in a situation like this. But sometimes it also becomes something normal when everyone is also fighting to get to a better place.

Chelsea, at present, is not a good place to develop talented players. Choosing a good club is very important for every talented player. Choosing a good club is a factor for a player to play in the Champions League. In my opinion, Osimen would prefer to choose PSG over Chelsea if he has good team management considerations. Luis Enrique is undoubtedly a good coach.But aside from these considerations, talented players make financial offers without the chance to play in the Champions League. It creates a very hostile environment.

The teams competing in the Frances league are not yet certain, sometimes this season they play quite well and finish the season in the top 4. Next season they will not be down, not just Rennes, there are many teams like that, but what is clear is that this season Rennes is not in good form like last season.

Because many teams in the French League cannot maintain their performance, they always fail to maintain their performance to be able to compete and get better from season to season, so don't expect too much from the teams in France except PSG.

[wmaurik]

PSG has everything to be attractive for recruiting players and also the PSG team has strong enough finances so I think that will be a consideration for Osimhen to choose PSG and also PSG's progress or targets are quite good so it is likely that the players will continue to improve.
After Mbappe's departure, PSG had to look for a suitable replacement and in my opinion Osimhen is the right player to fill the void.

Not only is it suitable to fill the void left by Mbappe, but it is also quite suitable for Osimhen himself in terms of continuing his career because considering that in the French League there is not enough tight competition and it can also give Osimhen a little more freedom in making his career even more brilliant. Because in terms of salary it is clear that it can be quite good at PSG because PSG's financial level itself is still quite large at the moment.

Meanwhile, he has a great opportunity to win the Ligue 1 trophy with PSG because so far PSG has always won the domestic trophy.

I also think PSG has a much greater chance of getting Osimhen than Chelsea. Financial factors are bad luck and also PSG playing in the Champions League might be a consideration.
The difference between Chelsea and PSG is not only in terms of getting a domestic title there, but PSG is a team that is much more developed than Chelsea because the Chelsea team is currently in decline so it is difficult for a player to develop if a team does not have good progress.

I think that for a much better future career, Osimhen should choose PSG.

Osimhen is used to the Serie A style of play which is known for being slow and not relying too much on physical strength, he will be more suited to the style of play in Ligue 1 than the EPL which relies more on power and physicality. Osimhen will also play in the Champions League if he moves to PSG, he will also win trophies very easily.

PSG will do anything to get Osimhen who will be plotted as a replacement for Mbappe who has gone to Real Madrid, the money power that PSG has will make it easier for them to persuade players to join them. PSG will be more serious about building their squad after failing again in the UCL, Luis Enrique needs to bring in quality midfielders to maintain the team's balance while increasing the sharpness of their attacks.

It seems to me that these are just rumors, Osimhen did not have the best season, only 15 goals in 38 matches look very mediocre. PSG have the ability to choose the best of the best, so I think that Enrique should pay attention to those forwards who have much better performance records. Osimhen showed that he requires a special approach, and who knows whether Enrique will be able to unleash his potential, they need a forward who is ready to play and score already. Moreover, Napoli demands too much for him, it seems to me that this is not entirely justified.

PSG isn't the best place to develop talent either and it's also import to know and understand that osimhen isn't at the level of developing his talent rather he's at the level of advancing his talent so I don't think he is looking for a place where he can get to develop his talent, a place for advancement is exactly where he wants and than england has been his dream and not France so PSG may look good but not what he has wanted.

His counterpart mbappe is leaving because he's understand that he's career cannot be advanced in PSG been a team he has played for in a long while so I see no reason why a player osinmhen at his level with his caliber will be going their to develope or advance his skill meanwhile some one who's likend to him of almost similar status is leaving for the same purpose of advancement of their career so isn't actually not making sense for osimhen to find himself in PSG except he gets enticed by the pay offer but for the purpose of career advancement england remains a better option if he eventually gets an opportunity there.

Developing a talent in PSG is very much possible because actually that was the place mbappe got his talent to the peak of his development and now wanting to advance, but then it actually took some long while so a player going to PSG for the purpose of career development will need to have some kind of patience aswell less he may leave before that talent is developed because it's literally going to look like its slow.

There's a news PSG chief refused to pay Mbappe's salary and bonus https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13470697/Kylian-Mbappe-not-paid-salary-April-owed-bonus-February-PSG-exit-turns-sour-ahead-expected-free-transfer-Real-Madrid-summer.html

I would say Mbappe 100% will definitely join Real Madrid, if not Al-Khelaifi wouldn't need to hold Mbappe's salary and bonus since they're very royal with Mbappe. Too bad Mbappe need to face this kind issue, he should learn if PSG isn't his home since PSG treat him good only when he play for PSG.

[makishart]

I think Osimhen will prefer to choose PSG than Chelsea, if he has consideration of a good team management for him to develop. Luis Enrique is undoubtedly much better coach than Maresca, and Chelsea currently is not a good place to have development for talented players. Chance to play in Champions League is a factor for a player to choose a club, but I don't think it's a big factor anymore, we have seen many top talents choose a better financial offer rather than chance to play in Champions League.

Players who prefer finances rather than playing in the Champions League are players who are no longer young in age at this time so they think that choosing the financial option will be much more appropriate than choosing the option of playing in the Champions League which is still not certain to win there. . But this is actually different from players who are still young and still aiming for a brilliant career in a famous team at this time, so that player will choose to be in a team that often enters the Champions League in order to prove that he deserves to be in that team.

There wasn't anything wrong with it caused by anyone was keen to be a professional football. The big salary has attracted them all to be a football player these days, they did it to play football caused by money. They are working while also doing their favorite activity, which is playing football. There will be no professional player interested in playing for a team without receiving a pay and that's why i'd rather call them work.

That is why so many people are willing become professional football players because they can be paid well as a football player. however, I strongly disagree with what you said about osimhen to go to the french league.

I meant that Osimhen's dream is to play in the English Premier League and he will not be keen to go to the french league. This is why he is willing to travel there caused by playing in the EPL has become his primary goal as a football player. It's strange that people claim he'd prefer to join PSG.
I believe he will prioritize EPL clubs over PSG.

[karabiber]

Metz, who finished the season 16th in Ligue 1, will face St.Etienne, who finished 3rd in Ligue 2. St.Etienne eliminated Rodez in the previous round. St. Etienne reacted very well against Rodez. I think the huge home support will be an important factor for them and they will be looking for a good result with home advantage.

St. Etienne's success in the transition game will be their trump card against Metz in this match. Metz's away performances in Ligue 1 have been better than their home games. Metz are a team capable of taking advantage of their opponent's pressing football from time to time. I think Metz can also find a goal to go into the rematch at home with a good score. However, when we compare the quality of the squad of the two teams, St. Etienne stands out.

this is very unreasonable news and the efforts made by PSG are like dramas that have happened before and this effort is like forcing Mbappe to stay at PSG.
I just think, the PSG owner's treatment is so cruel in restraining Mbappe or as if forbidding Mbappe from expanding his career to join another team and this will be an effort that will be known by other star players who will always reject every offer from PSG.
like the case of Osimhen who rejected PSG offer, it is likely that Osimhen is thinking long term about what his career would be like if he had the same fate as Mbappe.

If perhaps it was just coercion or PSG attempt to force Mbappe to stay at PSG, Mbappe should still leave PSG and of course the PSG owner will have a big problem regarding the salary and bonuses that have not been given to the player.
but if Mbappe chooses to stay because of the threat of salaries and bonuses that have not been given, I think Mbappe himself has unstable thoughts.
that's just my speculation, but I'm sure that in the future Mbappe will still join and have a better career with Madrid.

[Blitzboy]

Mbappe may not be liked all that much by some fans now, but that dude scored so many goals and brought so many great victories to PSG and that should be the most important part. I believe that he has done what he could for the club, and the club just couldn't put a team around him that could win the UCL eventually.

I believe that as soon as he joins Real Madrid, he will have a chance to win it because Real already goes there without him, wouldn't be a shock if they dominate for a few more seasons. If they do not ruin the club somehow, they could actually have a great future, their whole team is quite young, and winning back to back a few times in the next 10 years isn't really out of the picture for them considering the talent.

I get your point. A player leaving makes it easy to forget wins, especially in less-than-ideal conditions. However, Mbappe's PSG goal production speaks for itself. Often carrying the team, he deserves respect. Even with their tremendous investments, PSG hasnt won the Champions League. A change of environment may help Mbappe win the trophy. Real Madrid's young squad and tournament record are unquestionable.

They may dominate for years with Mbappe. How he fits within their system and if he lives up to the hype will be exciting. Either way, its a new chapter for both Mbappe and PSG.

I wonder why PSG wants to try so hard to keep Mbappe from leaving PSG, I think if they use this method to keep Mbappe a bit funny, what PSG expects when they don't think that Mbappe needs a better place than PSG especially since he is still young and needs new experience in other leagues so that he can continue to hone his ability to play football, Mbappe has given his best while playing at PSG and even received several trophies while with PSG, even though he has not been able to win the UCL trophy, at least Mbappe's decision to leave should be respected.

PSG must act maturely in this matter and not create any drama or create anything that could prevent Mbappe from leaving PSG. After all, everyone definitely supports Mbappe with his decision, even though there are some supporters who are disappointed with his decision, they are definitely selfish people, whatever Mbappe is. He has to make up his mind to leave PSG because I think he deserves a better team than PSG next season and start looking for experience in other leagues as well as trophies next season. PSG should focus more on finding a replacement for Mbappe and paying all his salaries and bonuses.

Since mbappe is already certain in leaving the french side, I think replacing him with Victor osimien isn't actually a bad idea and for the idea of him getting a spot at Chelsea then that I really don't support at all because Chelsea is currently in a mental state that will probably decline any player's performance and not victor himself that's also struggling to meet up with form although I won't like that the English premier league certainly has more fierce competition than the french league and as a player he would enjoy where the hassle and tassel is real so he can improve every day.

Osimhen could turn towards PSG because he has the opportunity to play in the Champions League, he can also win trophies easily there because PSG has always dominated Ligue 1.

Meanwhile, he has a great opportunity to win the Ligue 1 trophy with PSG because so far PSG has always won the domestic trophy.

According to several rumors, Victor Osimhen has been linked with a move to Chelsea next season. I don't really believe that will happen, but it is not impossible that PSG will be the next port for Victor Osimhen after Kylian Mbappe's departure. Victor Osimhen is a prolific center forward who is being targeted by many top teams at the moment, so PSG might make a definite move for him if Luis Enrique wants him in the squad.

PSG still has several center forwards in their squad including Randal Kolo Muani and Goncalo Ramos. These two players can be relied on next season considering that both of them are also quite productive in terms of goal statistics even though so far neither of them is the main player in Luis Enrique's line up. Next season one of the two will be the main player, so Luis Enrique will have no difficulty finding a replacement for Mbappe at center forward. Enrique will likely look for a left winger who so far has only been filled by Barcola or several other players who play not in their original position. If that is true then PSG will be as good as last season.

Because in terms of salary it is clear that it can be quite good at PSG because PSG's financial level itself is still quite large at the moment.

I think it depends on Osimhen's choice, whether he wants to be in less tough competition and not want to be in tougher competition. He is still young and I think it would be better if he chose a league where the competition is very tight and the English League would be a good choice for him, because there has very tight competition, so that would be very good for his experience.

He can't give up before trying, if he gives up before trying then I will question his mentality as a player. In my opinion, this is the right time for him to go to a tight league, because at his relatively young age he will get a lot of experience. And also the playing style of Serie A is different from the playing style of the Premier League, so it is a job for him to be able to quickly adapt to the style of play there. However, if he prefers comfort then Ligue 1 is an option for him, but I'm a little sorry if he chooses that.

I think Osimhen may also have different goals whether it's about a more difficult challenge or something that we certainly don't know what Osimhen's goal is to choose Chelsea. Because obviously, that Chelsea is also still in a difficult period and of course, Chelsea is also still trying to improve the quality of the team by constantly changing coaches, and it's like a joke too. But strangely,  based on the news circulating that Osimhen prefers Chelsea then PSG. Although of course, if Osimhen plays at PSG then Osimhen is also likely to get a trophy in the domestic league, but maybe Osimhen will be able to provide good results for PSG in the Champion League. So yes, hopefully Osimhen accepts PSG's offer, because of course it will be the best choice I guess.

After Mbappe's departure, PSG had to look for a suitable replacement and in my opinion Osimhen is the right player to fill the void.

Osimehn is a young and good striking player that can replace Mbappe and still be successful at PSG. But will PSG be willing to add him to their squad this upcoming season is the actual deal now? Getting another bigger offer from top teams like those in the premier league can make him change his mind to join them in order to show what he got in a more competitive league like the premier league. Every young players will like to play where they’ll be known and become more popular. Mbappe did do well in PSG all the years he has spent and also what helped him was how he took his country to two World Cup finals and won one of them, that alone was enough to make him as valuable as he is now. Osimehn cannot get that type of dominance even though he plays for PSG, so if gets a better offer where he’ll be more visible, he should better go for that one than coming to Ligue 1.
