"Chelsea are planning to hold talks with Napoli over Victor Osimhen.
According to Football.London, the Londoners are thinking of offering at least 100 million pounds for the forward"
https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/victor-osimhen-chelsea-transfer-contract-26833032This is very interesting news. Chelsea continues to excite the transfer market like last season.
But this time the transfers seem to be more thoughtful. Victor Osimhen is a great player and although £100 million is a huge amount, but Victor Osimhen at least can work them off, in contrast to, for example, Mudrik. Victor Osimhen is in the prime of his career, a great striker, unstoppable for defenders, with a great eye for goal.
To be honest, this news frightens me because Chelsea already have made very good signings that suggests they might be a very dangerous team next season. As a rival, I don’t like the idea of adding Victor Osimhen to the line up of already good players they will be too dangerous to compete against them and it will not be good for the rest of the EPL heavyweights.
The reason they're treating De Gea this way is because he has no pride, they have seen him for whom he is, they know he is welling to play for the club no matter what. If he has that spirit of forcing his way out from the club by now they won't waste time to double his salary from the beginning even if he'll be the second choice. Like who won't want a goalie like De Gea to be on his team? That's the thing with Manchester United and if you check no club is even coming for those players they're ready to sell, see how bad it is for UTD, they can't get any business done as it is.
De Gea has obviously lost respect in this Manchester United side, I remember the times when De Gea was a hero at the club. I think you are right, the fact that he is willing to continue at Manchester United is giving the club a leverage they are using in their advantage. Truly, if he was showing reluctance to extend his contract with the club maybe they would be talking about increasing his wage and begging him to stay.
