Napoli remain firm on Victor Osimhen asking price

The club’s position is immovable, a wall: €75m, period. The Turkish club has understood this, even though they initially thought they could negotiate a discount or a more convenient plan. De Laurentiis was clear from the start: No to proposals that come with discounts. Napoli don’t do discounts and are convinced they hold the winning card. A solid bank transfer would be enough to make everyone happy.

Two important things need to be said clearly. First: Galatasaray believe they can offer the Nigerian striker over €15m net per season. They can’t expect to pay just €55m or €60m for the transfer fee. They already had the privilege of a loan deal that made the first part of the operation easier. Now, no more gifts. Second: Osimhen’s contract expires in just one year, but there’s an option to extend to 2027, with a starting salary of €15m per season. That is just an option, so Napoli are not desperate or under pressure. If the right offer doesn’t arrive and Victor stays, things can be reconsidered in January.

In recent hours, Osimhen has been in direct contact with Galatasaray, and there has been an honest conversation with the club’s vice president in Italy, who confirmed the willingness to pay his €75m release clause. Napoli want more. Not just vague promises of splitting the payment in instalments, but a real final guarantee, like a proper bank guarantee or an irrevocable letter of credit. In short: cash straight away or bulletproof guarantees. Now it’s up to Galatasaray to fully meet Napoli’s demands.

Judging by how each has been used in the CWC, I can actually imagine a scenario where we sell Madueke and Jackson, keep Nkunku, and then make 1 more attacking signing.

How else do you explain Maresca continuing to start Nkunku and saying “he deserves it” and stuff like that? He obviously likes what Christo is doing in training.

Or he knew noni was going and we didn’t really have a better option

Just read the last four pages of the Noni Transfer thread at Arsenal Mania. It is not a safe place right now.

Just read this. Hilarious seeing Havertz catch strays in here too lol... especially after we were told he has levelled up and a completely different player at Arsenal. 

Seems it really isn't the case now that the hurt of not accomplishing anything and Havertz putting up the same stats he put up here, while playing upfront there on top of that really isn't all it is cracked up to be.

Arsenal are also believed to be confident that Ethan Nwaneri will sign a  new contract at the Emirates despite interest from Chelsea and German clubs in the 18-year-old.

😔

We have Estevao and Quenda is coming. We don't need another teenage project. 

Would be great if we can get in the conversation for a Rodrygo or Rogers (Jackson goes the other way) for the attack.

So, if Madueke leaves this be our status (positions are 'more or less'):

- ST: Joao Pedro, Delap, Jackson, Guiu

- LW: Gittens

- RW: Neto, Estevao, George

- AM: Palmer, with Enzo and KDH being able to cover in case of emergency.

 

If Jackson leaves, different reports on Guiu going on loan, KDH leaving, George not being trusted we again will be a little thin if we won't buy someone.

Wow, so how much more do we need to make to satisfy the UEFA requirements?

Still around 28 m pounds. I think Felix sale + one of Amogou/ISS will be enough. That is not even mentioning potential sale of Nkunku, Veiga and Disasi

George played LW & RW when called upon last season but I'd be surprised if he isn't loaned out to the Championship to gain some experience. 

I get the feeling that we'll go for Garnacho later in the window OR 

If Nkunku doesn't get sold for whatever reason (Bayern Munich haven't bid for him yet), he probably sticks around and plays the squad role.
