I believe this issue will be resolved soon because if Napoli don't sell him this year, they will be forced to watch him leave the club for free next year. Furthermore, they could use the proceeds from this transfer to make numerous other signings.
I don't expect much from the current Napoli management and if they are not limited by his contract expiration next season, I will say I am pretty sure Osimhen will stay out of the field the whole season.
Experience showed how hard to deal with Napoli exaggerated demands.
Right now, Napoli owner try its last chances to push Galatasaray to the limit because they know they want the player and Osimhen wants to be in Istanbul. Otherwise they would be more than happy to sell him right away to Al-Hilal because Saudis pay better.
We will continue to see this saga until the last day of the transfer window apparently..
Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
When you are doing as bad as Lyon, the aim is to just stay in the league without bankrupting, if they can do that, even if they have a horrible season, it means success. Avoiding relegation is the only goal they have and only one they should be focusing on.
Textor is no more the owner of the club and Michele Kang a businesswoman took the lead with the help of Michael Gerlinger, Eagle Football Holdings' general manager.
Lyon isn't obliged to sell their players this season from what I understand but they have to reduce the deficit by the end of the next season so selling few players will happen at the end presumably, yet they could advance in Europa League and increase their reward in each step.
Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: World Cup Qualifiers - CAF.
Galatasaray has taken another offer to Napoli and this time around they’ve taken the full amount needed by Napoli to release Victor Oshimen to them. In the most recent offer to them, they will be paying €40M as initial payment and make the remaining €35M payment in instalments. This time around I think Napoli’s president will accept this and allow Osimehn to play for Galatasaray and not be bind to Napoli henceforth. It was not really a great time for him at Napoli and the way they treated him was not nice at all for someone that helped them won the scudetto for the first time. I wish him a greater career at Galatasaray.
With all respect to Victor Osimhen and Galatasaray but the attitude of Napoli is very arrogant and hard to understand. I know they want to get profit from their players but they literally rejected him, they haven’t good communications for quite long time, they want to get ride of him while his contract isn't very long and Galatasaray is trying their best to collect enough funds for a rejected player!
Players should be aware when writing their contract with professional teams especially Napoli because the manner they treat their players are very strange.
Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread
Exactly what African teams are performing well? I have been hearing that "African national teams will dominate the football world" since the '90s and nothing ever happened.
It will not happen because the infrastructures for football didn't change since they took independence and maybe even worse in some African nations. Talking about Asia the only great teams are Japan and South Korea (and maybe Iran), for all the others is valid the same thing I was saying about the African teams: one edition they could be great, then they miss the next one.
That was very accurate for the African teams especially Nigeria, Senegal and Cameroon. They have good players in Europe that selected their national team to represent, they have good qualities when they play in CAF and at the early stage of the World Cup but once they advance, they just fail badly and can't resist. I say, they are playing good for once or twice at best then failure for a decade before getting on feet again. I don't think that it's Rodrygo that is anxious of leaving Real Madrid, rather it is his manager that is pushing for that moves because he feels that Rodrygo isn't given enough time to play on the field. Left for Rodrygo alone, he still has passion playing for Real Madrid and believes he will definitely get on spot as part of Madrid first eleven in future.
Even Rodrygo is not that happy with the way he plays in Real Madrid regarding his position and the time spent in the field. His manager will not force him to do anything against his wishes and interests but after all, things aren't very well with the player.
The amount asked by Real Madrid to let him go is very high for almost all teams except few English Premier League teams, PSG and Saudi Pro League teams. I didn't hear about any offer from Saudis, PSG has enough players and Liverpool or Arsenal might be interested in him but again even if they can afford his probably, should they spend that much? I doubt they will.
And returning to Spurs players, the current rumor is quite strong regarding Son Heung-min, a Korean player who has been loyal to Spurs for quite some time. Last season, Son's performance declined, and with several transfers made by Spurs, it's been suggested that a new player could replace Son. However, I think that, even if the player doesn't want to leave Spurs, I think the club should respect that decision, as Son has made a significant contribution to Spurs over a long period.
When it comes to professional business, names and contributions mean nothing and you can see how Real Madrid staff works. They don't care about players careers in the team and how helpful they were. Once they decline in the performance they are out, and once they get old, they get bad renewal contracts. There is many examples like Sergio Ramos and many others. I can give the example of Manchester United holding their favourite defender although his fatal mistakes and they saw the consequences.
Even if a player wants to stay, he should prove himself with the team otherwise he is taking the place of another player and sometimes 2 or even 3 players depending from his wage.
Back to Son, I think another chance this first half of the season could give every party a clear view about his future within the team.
So, Al Nassr's management needs to see PSG's case as a great concrete example that the most important thing in a team is the coach. If they hire an inexperienced coach or one who has only achieved success in one league, they won't be able to handle Al Nassr well and, as a consequence, they won't be able to achieve anything great.
In the case of Al-Nassr, a good coach could fix things well especially that they have enough funds to recruit quality players. I said quality players and not top players because names mean nothing nowadays. Whenever I see PSG success in UEFA Conference League and in the other competitions, I say a good strategy and teamwork are the key to success. Al-Nassr lacks seriously these two points.
What's clear is that Leverkusen won't spend all the profits they earned from the sales of Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong on new players. Management can get around the squad overhaul plan by recruiting cheaper players, and we know that Ten Hag is known for his penchant for signing players in every transfer window. Malik Tillman will be slated as Florian Wirtz replacement, and hopefully he won't disappoint. Ten Hag will likely try to bring in one or two more players before the transfer window closes.
When I see the arrivals in Bayer Leverkusen, until now all of them are under 25 years and only a goalkeeper was aged 32.
As I mentioned before Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund in particular are teams that act like a farm. They elevate young players and when they become good ones, they simply sell them without hesitation and without thinking twice about the team future. Luckily for them that Bundesliga isn't intense like English Premier League or La Liga, teams there can push teams that got weak to the edge of the relegation zone. This happened to Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur the past season for example!
So many people complained why the Club World cup was brought to the US but now I think they are trying to see or should I say, FIFA is using this in watering the ground for the main event of next year. Currently, Infantino said "stadiums with roofs will be used to ease concerns over severe weather in the World cup" European players especially really complained of heat after when they go there and if you noticed, they stadium was equipped with mobile ACs in the stands.
Mobile ACs aren't enough when stadium will be full and FIFA using this competition as a test is certainly a clever move but it ruined it. They were able to do this with another simple competition like friendlies for national teams..
I wonder by the way why FIFA didn't include a game between the two teams that lost, I mean Real Madrid and Fluminense. It would be interesting to see which team will end third and fourth.

Of course staking any cryptocurrency will be better than just keeping it freeze in terms of rewards and stable profits. I think why some people don't do that is because of negative experience with untrustworthy services which claim unbelievable return of investment and bonuses. At the opposite, things with legit services are clear and transparent.
I think the mountain in this image should be moved left because the IQ of people panic selling isn't that better than people just holding
So literally Inter Miami is now focusing on assembling all Messi's formal team mates from both Barcelona and Argentina, lol. Does it really mean he needs his formal team mates to perform? Now I'm beginning to take the rumours of them now serious, we saw how he didn't perform even with the super team of PSG back then simply because his formal players weren't in the team, now it's getting clearer to me.
Of course any player can perform better when he is playing with his teammates that he used to play with and who understand him quickly and help him to shine.
Messi like any player, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and the others, can't show his all skills in whatever team they play with and in any league. It might work good in Barcelona, less in PSG and a little bit better in Inter Miami. I don't know what is the long term project of this team but certainly bringing all Messi friends will not work more than a year or two because, well, the age.
Last thing, Messi, in comparison with other players, has more individual skills and rely slightly less on his friends to perform and create opportunities to score.
I cant believe Mateo Retegui acept the offer from this league, i mean he is so young he comes from being the top scorer of SerieA, Atalanta makes a good shot and for sure in economic terms for him is also a super good deal, but you are risking your whole career, for me he needs tos tay in europe, the only good thing about this for him is maybe if he maintain his level can come back to europe later with a ton of money in his bag.
Everyone is working for money. It is the only incentive for most people including players. There is other people who wants to see their names staying in history or try to prove themselves for their friends, family or the others. So whenever you give a person for a season what he needs to collect in 10 years then hell yeah, who doesn't want to retire in like 3 - 5 years of activity?
Well, the player is young and he can restart his career in Europe again after a couple of seasons in Saudi Pro League and he can make it with a lot of funds in his bank account.
Paris Saint-Germain will surely win the final against Chelsea. I know it's a given, but it's normal for it to happen. They currently have the best team around and can boast a bench that could be another top club starting lineup, so unless they make mistakes, victory is in their pocket.
Most people here expected PSG to win the title. Besides what we already said, some people are following artificial intelligence predictions or let's say what supercomputer say and it appears it support PSG now after it wasn't the case in quarter-final.
For bookies, things seem to be more obvious with PSG odds around 1.6 and Chelsea over 5.5. I think most people will bet for PSG and if Chelsea manage to win then we will see people crying everywhere
Although the next team that will face such terrible performance is Chelsea, which is in the final, and if Real Madrid seemed like a small team against PSG, then Chelsea will just be like a newbie playing a game with a legend. It’s not funny, though, but this game will be too hot for Chelsea to handle.
I really liked the description and the comparison but I want to give some remarks. Real Madrid defence line in that match wasn't concentrating and made fatal mistakes that caused directly few avoidable goals. I mean any team with a medium defence line wouldn't commit these faults. The attack line of Real Madrid wasn't helpful and didn't allow the midfield and the defence line to breath by scoring goals and controlling more the ball. In the other hand, Chelsea has different style and I doubt to see the same mistakes being done again in the final match. I support PSG for obvious reasons but in the worst scenario Chelsea shouldn't take as many goals as Real Madrid.
The case of Hojlund is just the with Nicolas Jackson of Chelsea, they both had enough time to improve and prove everyone wrong but they were just reluctant and didn't do anything to improve. Hojlund missed a lot of chances that even some fans at the bar that I watch matches always say that even if Hojlund should be on goal without a goalkeeper he'd still miss. When I heard that I felt bad but then it was just a bitter truth, he seem to miss every chance he has. I wonder how would a striker have such a creative midfielder like Bruno Fernandes and not manage to score at least 15 goals in one season. I know the team as a whole is struggling but Hojlund performance was just so terrible and I am in support if they want to get a new striker. I think Hojlund is an average player that's why he can't thrive at United.
I always say throughout these years, Manchester United failed to have a good attack and defence line.
Since you were talking about Hojlund, let's remember how pissed Cristiano Ronaldo was in his position with the team, he had to leave his old club, United of course where he was a hero there, and find another club to start good. Hojlund isn't any lucky than CR7, he failed and will continue most likely. He has to get out and restart elsewhere. It is as simple as that. Many players find their perfect balance in other teams like Osimhen, Lukaku...

As for the BFG, I'd prefer to see the Betfury team start moving its token to CEXs.
Man, CEXes are expensive, and unless there's some utility for the token other than what it's used now, for gambling, it's not really worth it.
CEXes charge huge amounts of BTC for listing, and want a big chunk, usually 1% of supply to have reserves and do market making. I don't see it happening anytime soon
I think everything has its proper time to shine and when that time comes certainly the BetFury team will do the necessary to make everyone profit from the listing.
So far, the coin is here, used by many but not that huge number of people to justify putting a lot of funds to make the listing and so on.
I was really hoping to see Fluminense face PSG and watch the clash of two styles i.e. European vs Brazilian. But once again, it's only European clubs left fate of final for themselves.
Fluminense performance wasn't incredible in that match and Chelsea deserved to win. I think many people wanted to see another final where an European team would face a non European team but things ended up that way. In my view, PSG will come out on top again, and probably with a lopsided score.
From what I saw from both teams during this season and in this Cup then I say that PSG is way better than Chelsea in all aspects. I will not be surprised to see more than 2 goals difference for PSG. Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
All the money poured in by Quatari owners and all the investments in building a squad that was too strong for the French Ligue 1 anyway, is finally starting to pay off.
PSG is demolishing Real Madrid 3-0 in the semi-final of the FIFA Club World Cup with only minutes to go and will face Chelsea in the final.
Needless to say, PSG will be a clear favourite and are very likely to win the cup, with the prize pool similar to that of the Champions League.
This means PSG may finally make a profit in the current financial year. This might be the best season in the club's history.

PSG literally destroyed Real Madrid and they are advancing with big steps in this Club World Cup like they did in Ligue 1, French Cup and UEFA Champions League.
From what I saw today, PSG deserve this Cup and should not have hard time against Chelsea. I can tell that PSG is sending a clear message to the other teams that they are ready to claim back their trophies.
Indeed Qataris should be happy from what they see with their team and surely they earned a lot directly from the prizes but also indirectly from the marketing and names of their players.
Let's enjoy the match
The match was catastrophic for Real Madrid by all means. PSG dominated totally the game and ended it by 4 goals to 0. I would say that Xabi Alonso was lucky to not see his team being defeated by like 6 goals or more. Seriously there is many dysfunction within the team. From silly mistakes to the absence of concentration and pivotal role of midfielders.
Real Madrid should take a lesson from what happened today because they are still far from their ordinary level.
The first half of the match is ended and let's assume that Real Madrid's agony is ended. The beginning of the second half could birth a new opportunity for Real Madrid to turn things around. Besides, a stable Real Madrid might not find it difficult to come back. But with the crop of Real Madrid players that I am seeing now, it is near impossible to do.
From what I witnessed in the first half, Real Madrid was totally out of the game and PSG missed a very good opportunity to score the 4th goal but the ball was like a meter away from the box.
The defence line of Real Madrid was very vulnerable and not that concentrating especially on counter attacks. They were lucky PSG player didn't pass the ball to his colleague at his right and they didn't commit a fault when catching the ball from him, otherwise it would be another opportunity to add a goal.
Xabi Alonso should change his tactics in that game or he will lose it badly..
