PSG want Osimhen. 

That is us out. 

If he's smart, he'll reject them. He's already done his bit in Ligue 1, and he expressed his desire to play in the PL.

If our board is willing to meet Napoli's valuation, I can only see him joining us.

yeah Idk if he worth so much money, tbh

I prefer stay with lukaku one season and buy another center forward next season

No no no Get the best available option in. We did the waiting already last few seasons. There’s nothing to be gained by waiting. Since we are spending recklessly on teenagers and in other positions, what’s another 40m on Jonathan David or Ivan Toney or whoever we can grab ?

And the fact that Drogba seems to be in his ear. The news that PSG is going for him doesn’t mean we are out of the race.

he's shocking on the ball from what I've seen

[milka 3,407]

So from Osimhen (which was lie that we were interested because it does not fit into our policy of salaries threshold up to 150k) to another mid player like Toney .  But the yankies need to get rid of Gallagher , Maatsen , Broja , Chalobah to get money cuz they don't have any for speending in the summer  . And another director from mid club Brighton what is that obssesion with them this is our benchmark Brighton ? Get Out .

Paris Saint-Germain

• Kylian Mbappé has now informed PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi that he will LEAVE the club as a free agent. The terms of the departure are yet to be fully agreed but he will leave PSG in the summer. The decision is 100% confirmed. PSG and Mbappe will communicate together about Kylian’s exit in the upcoming months. Real Madrid keep working on the Mbappé deal with total confidence to get it done.

• Real Madrid’s fixed salary proposal for Kylian Mbappé is way lower than the one made in summer 2022 — and also lower than his current salary. Real want Mbappé to join the club at their conditions after spending years on this saga. Contract proposal, already in Kylian’s hands.

• The relationship between Mbappé and Florentino Pérez is very good because of a specific detail. On May 21, 2022, Mbappé insisted with his camp to call the Real president personally to inform him about his decision to reject their bid and stay at PSG - Pérez appreciated that.

• PSG advisor Luis Campos is currently not planning to leave Paris Saint-Germain despite Kylian Mbappé’s exit in June. Campos wants to stay and continue his project at PSG with the Champions League as their main goal.

I can only see Mbappe ending up at 2 clubs (that are actually serious about winning trophies and competing) - 1. Real Madrid, 2. Liverpool (you just know they've got Alonso lined up as the next great manager)

Liverpool lose a lot of their aura without Klopp. I think its now clear he's signing for Madrid

Chelsea WANT IVAN TONEY OR EVAN FERGUSON, PSG TARGET VICTOR OSIMHEN TO REPLACE KYLIAN MBAPPE - PAPER ROUND

[Vesper 31,110]

Lautaro Martínez
Victor Osimhen
Dušan Vlahović   
Ivan Toney
Jonathan David

Paris Saint-Germain might have to make a tough decision during this summer transfer window. Nuno Mendes is one of the best players in his position. However, his inability to stay healthy might cause the Parisians to look for another left-back.

If Mendes doesn’t demonstrate that he’s fit and capable of being PSG’s starting left-back, the club already has someone in mind to potentially take over his position.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Le10Sport), AC Milan’s Theo Hernandez would be a popular prospect within PSG and could become a priority

if Mendes’ situation does not improve.

The 21-year-old Mendes has not played a match since April 2023.

If he returns to training and can play again in March, certain doubts persist. As a result, PSG must be pondering whether they need to move for the Frenchman.

If PSG does pursue the AC Milan star, they’ll likely lean on his brother, Lucas, and the other teammates on the French national team to serve as recruiters to bring him to Paris.

The 26-year-old is under contract until 2026, scoring three goals and recording six assists in all competitions this 2023-24 season. 

[Vesper 31,110]

so

in terms of LBs

Mendes looks like he may perhaps be really damaged long term

Davies is likely off to Real Madrid

Theo may well join his brother at PSG

Robertson is 30yo in 3 weeks and always injured now

Alejandro Balde is out for the year with a bad tendon rupture

 

that leaves

Federico Dimarco
Pervis Estupiñán
José Gayà 
Quilindschy Hartman    
Miguel Gutiérrez
Rayan Aït-Nouri 
Milos Kerkez
 

[Thor 2,819]

Jonathan David or Osimhen are the only acceptable ones. 

The rest are average strikers not fit for top, top teams. Martinez is a maybe.

2 points

Not counting Mbappe as a CF, and leaving aside the ageing Benz and Lewa

There are only 4 WC CFs

Håland

Kane

Lautaro

Osimhen

There is no maybe about Lautaro. I would take him over all but Håland and Mbappe (if you count him as a CF) for sure, and MAYBE Kane, due to Kane's age.

 

Point 2

You only left out two other players of my 5 acceptables (you called them 'the rest', as if there was a bunch left out). Vlahovic and Toney. I would deffo take them easily over anyone but the other 3 I listed as legit targetd, plus, of course, Håland, Mbappe, and Kane, who are not ever coming here (barring some remotely possible upper 30s yo cameo in the winter of their careers). 

After my 5 listed, in terms of CFs actually available CFs (and TBF, there is almost zero chance Lautaro comes here, sadly), the drop off is fast and deep.

I so do not trust, atm, Evan Ferguson to be a smart buy.

Brighton (ffs), young (turns 20 in October), £100m or so, and only has 6 goals so far, all season, all comps.

Alexander Isak is not available, and Ollie Watkins turns 29yo this year, no way is he worth the £100m Villa want.

Loïs Openda and Santiago Gimenez are total gambles, same for Serhou Guirassy (massive risk for 'one season wonder'), Victor Boniface, Benjamin Šeško (atm, at leadt, we shall see in 1 or 2 more years), and Viktor Gyökeres.

Openda would probably be the best buy out of that lot, but is probably not a sure thing at all. 

A wild card I MIGHT accept is (this is so unlike me, as I rarely go back for rejects not named De Bruyne or Salah or, to stretch it, Mbappe)..... 

Dominic Solanke.

Not joking. If a truly fair price, we could do much worse.

Oh, and fuck bringing back Rom.
