Speculation Victor Osimhen move to the Premier League is over? @Fabrizio Romano recently posted that negotiations between Galatasaray and Napoli have reopened, discussion regarding release fee around 75 million with installments options even though previously we knew Osimhen was linked with Premier League teams but it seems that until now there has been no real movement. I'm not sure if the release fee is a barrier because in general EPL teams spend the same amount on great players.

I have to say whoever tries to reach an agreement with Napoli will be in an advantageous position because Victor Osimhen contract expires next season, so Napoli doesn't want to lose this player for free meaning they have to sell Osimhen in this transfer window in any way.

Sometimes I wonder how some players think especially when they're losing with about 2 to 4 minutes left before the red sounds the final whistle, knowing fully well that they can't come back to level the game not to talk of winning the game. Pulling a player's hair especially with the kind Marc Cucurella is having, is totally not cool to me or are they trying to say he should start wearing a hair packer or is having much hair a crime and against the FIFA rules? What do you make of this act? Should they set a new rule to protect the victims of such act or what?🤔 What do you make of that?

Yeah hitting ATH again is exciting but I think It is also a signal to stay sharp. We've seen how quickly hype can turn into heartbreak for those who jump in without a plan. I’m being cautious cause market cycles tend to repeat and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see some shakeouts before any major move upwards. DYOR is survival especially in moments like this when emotions run high. I'm watching macro trends closely and trying to stay level-headed.

I see the same thing all the time on Reddit; it's SO easy to look back with hindsight being 20/20, but REMEMBER:

MOST of these same people would have sold the second it started climbing anyway; they merely lost out a little sooner.

Based on total coins and tokens deployed, I'd argue that even more than 99% would belong in the shitcoin category

While much better examples of a shitcoin could have been used in this image (there are some quality projects in the shitcoin section of that image), that visual is just about what I was picturing to pair with research frameworks, including conditions that properly evaluate a cryptocurrency/token.

You guys are feeling very  confident on Napoli retaining the Scudetto title but I am of a different opinion, I don’t see them retaining it. In the past years there has been none who did it and I feel it’s because most of these teams are on same level and it only takes a mistake and lapses from one for the other to excel. Yeah Napoli won it last season but they weren’t that exceptional as to have full confidence in them, they won it on the last day fighting through their teeth.
I might even see Juve coming to top the league or come second but not Napoli winning it again.

But it is not a fact that he will be on the bench all the time, I think Alonso will take into account that the player has not left the club and is still available to play, yes, he can change tactics, not put the player in the main squad if he is not needed, but he may be useful sooner or later, so he may be useful. But he'd better find a club where he can play full time

Chelsea must play the bus and wait for a penalty shootout 
It seems the weather will not be on their side (hotter weather would probably be to their advantage), but the rain will probably also help them defend.
PSG looks like a team without weaknesses, but who knows, maybe on Sunday there will be the same game as with Liverpool in Paris, when PSG should have won 3-0 but lost 0-1.

I just read the news that our best striker from last season has just agreed to a contract with a team in the Saudi Pro League. Mateo Retegui is leaving Atalanta to play for Al Qadsiah in Saudi Arabia for a fee of €67 million, another record transfer for Atalanta. Mateo, on the other hand, will earn €20 million per season.
It's become impossible to compete with the Arab teams. Unfortunately, they have incredible spending power, and no Italian team, nor even a European one, I believe, can compete with them.

What do you think the reason of his account deactivation?

The kick-off of the first game of the new season between Girona and Rayo Vallecano is scheduled for Fri 15th August.

Real Madrid's game against Ossasuna will take place slightly later, on Tue 19th, but there's seems to be some controversy with that game. Apparently Real and Atletico had an agreement with the Association of Spanish Footballers that, should any of them reach the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Club, their opening La Liga games would be postponed to later terms. But, despite Real reaching the semi-final, La Liga president, Javier Tebas has stated that Real's request to postpone the game was officially rejected.

Inter milan is likely to be a pretty tough opponent for napoli to be able to defend their Scudetto title. if you look at inter milan's performance, even if it is less consistent, but they are an Italian team that managed to penetrate the champions league final and reach the round of 16 in the FIFA CWC, it is a pretty impressive performance. i think that by looking at their weaknesses throughout the season, Chivu is able to improve inter milan and make them more competitive again in this 2025/2026 season. and it is not impossible that this will make them able to get the Scudetto title next season.

I think this might be the best for them, if they can win the Conference League all these pain or disappointed won't be remembered much.

That would be beautiful seeing themselves winning a trophy back to back seasons. Although, I must say it's still heartbreaking after dreaming of themselves playing at Europa League but ended up demoted because their management has share on multiple clubs.

Rodrygo to the EPL feel realistic as days go by, five games and counting that Rodrygo has being on the bench without playing and today Fabrizio Romano has posted that Real Madrid has told him that he can leave the club which means it is green light for Arsenal to try and make a deal with Real Madrid for his signature.

As of the news today, Crystal Palace has been demoted from the Europa League to the Conference. We still remember how the qualified by beating Manchester City in the FA cup final to get the Europa League ticket. But the twist here is that, they cannot since Lyon too will be playing in the same Europa League. John Textor owns shares in both Palace and Lyon, (I think he owns majority shares) the thus bridges UEFA multi club ownership rules Which simply states that Clubs with the same ownership cannot play in the same competition. Crystal Palace might go to court for this, lol.

Fabrizio Romano has posted that Real Madrid wants €100m for Rodrygo if he is to leave this summer. First of all, i think that asking fee is outrageous, especially coming from a team that wants to master the art of getting players for free; they already did it with Mbappe and Trent, who knows which players they will court next towards the end of his contract and get him for free.

That said, i am not sure any team would pay €100m for Rodrygo, if that is the money they want, they can as well keep him, i think €80m at the most is a good price to buy Rodrygo.
