Given the recent news involving Napoli and Galatsaray, I think it's safe to conclude that the biggest issue here is not necessarily Osimhen's demands, nor the reluctance of English or Spanish teams to bid for him -- even though arguments could be made about both. The biggest issue I can see here is the devilish obstinacy, greed and wickedness of Di Laurentis. In a fair and just world, there should be FFP FIFA regulations to put an end to the kind of nonsense Napoli is doing, but oh well...

Osimhen's drama with Napoli should definitely be a cautionary tale for all upcoming stars and their agents.
ADL accept Al Ahli offer, Osimhen rejects
ADL accept Chelsea offer, Osimhen rejects
ADL accept Al Hilal offer, Osimhen rejects
Manu acknowledge release clause, approach Osimhen, rejected

But blame ADL cause Osimhen is my countryman

Lol, E be like say we go all learn intricacies of transfer football financial dealings by force.

One thing is clear Osimhen didn't have the shrewdest and most prudent team advising him.

Buchi who I thought was a bit measured don pour gallon of sand sand into the matter.
spot on

ADL didn't accept Al Ahli offer, the Saudi club walked out when Napoli suddenly increased the price with £5m. It was Osimhen who actually accepted. How about the PSG offer?

ADL put gun for Osimhen head to sign contract extension?

The intention of every business investment is to maximise profit and in this case that’s what ADL and Napoli wants from their investment which is Osimhen

I will say Osimhen and his agent were the greedy ones and it’s backfiring on them now


Ask yourself why Kvara and his agent didn’t accept a contract extension like Osimhen?

Also same contract was dangled to Kim Min Jae and his rep but they turned it down which made the player move to Bayern in a modest price without any issues

In this case Fifa or even uefa hv nothing to do

I think it's time we stop with this me against the world narrative.
Brother, nobody hates you.

Cunha went from 90k a week to 180k a week.
Wirtz is 195k per week
Gyökeres is 130k per week

This is the new landscape for clubs now.

Osimhen currently is requesting £9m net
That's over 300k.


United will gladly offer that same 9m they offered Cunha to Osimhen. Will he collect?
Why is your maths bad na

You are a very dishonest fellow but I'm not surprised, after all, this was you when he joined Gala;

TheLoneCitizen:
If Osimhen doesn't match Gyokeres G/A average at Galatasaray, then he is not even close to a world class striker.

Happy Osimhen day. It begins tonight.
After he called bluff your assertion with numbers, instead of giving him his flowers, here you are again making a mess of yourself just because he has refused to reduce his standards by not accepting a demeaning offer or going to Saudi in his peak?


Why did you make mention of those clubs and leave out PSG where he would probably have been UEFA Champs league gold medalist today?

Some of una with faux conscientiousness

The contract that Osimhen was prepared to accept from Al-Ahli was worth a reported €40 million (£33.7m/$44.3m) per season for four years. The proposed deal also came with a release clause. But Napoli wanted €85m (£71.6m/$94m) and Al-Ahli stopped €5m short, eventually turning to the significantly cheaper Ivan Toney instead.

Chelsea are said to have had an understanding with Napoli, yet their lowball offer to Osimhen didn't tempt the striker. It was said to be €4m as an initial annual salary, 10% of Al-Ahli's proposal, but doubled if the Blues were to qualify for next season's Champions League. Even that inflated amount is still less than his current Napoli contract pays.

Samueltemi337:
You can see from the post "Ekiteki very high on the list"
Liverpool are ready to drop 120m for Isak
So if they were serious with Osimhen his wages and transfer fee wouldn't be an issue
I made that post because of the people hammering on reduce your wages and join liverpool
Let me quote Arne Slot, verbatim ;

Specifically, regarding the positions 7, 9, and 11, Slot is looking for players who can fulfill multiple roles


Look at the modern game with players able to adapt to multiple positions. So for instance Mbappe, Isak, Rashford , Watkins,Greenwood, Salah, and of course Ronaldo are all adapt at playing on the wing as 7or 11 or as the quintessential 9.

Would you say VO can play 7+11, l remember watching Diaz play as a 9 for Liverpool. That may be the issue as well versatility and adaptability added to what many believe he is over priced.

First of all, I will appreciate if you don't put words in my mouth and try to strawman me. I never said Osimhen is blameless. I simply alluded to the fact that Osimhen's rejection or acceptance is inconsequential when you consider that Napoli, under Aurelio De Laurentiis, has been unyielding on the €75 million release clause. While Galatasaray has agreed to meet this figure, Napoli's current demands for payment terms (e.g., €40M upfront, €35M by end of 2026, and a 20% sell-on clause) are what is causing the current stalemate. All these details should have been hashed out much earlier. It's very disingenuous to keep making Galatsaray jump through hoops and presenting new requirements whenever they meet one requirement.

that 20% sell-on clause simply implies that Napoli doesn’t want to sell to Gala cus no club in the world will accept such condition 🤣🤣🤣🤣

100% confirm on Ademola Lookman:

- There’s a Verbal agreement between Atalanta and Lookman that he leaves if a suitable offer comes in.
- There was an extension offer on the table for him to renew last season so a release clause might come in but he refused.
- He has 2years left on this contract.
- Confirmed he has offers from Italy and Spain. Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan. There’s been enquiries from England but nothing concrete,
- If any of these clubs offer €40-€50m. Atalanta will sell.

@BuchiLaba



Shebi una see how sensible Lookman and his agent are for not accepting a contract extension/renewal which would have given Atalanta the power to put a hefty buy-out clause in the contract

For not tying himself down out of greed he can easily leave for €40m-€50m euros

There, I said it.
World economy is currently bad and may be heading towards a recession...

There is inflation globally.. and they will have prejudice towards him since he is from west Africa.

If he wants higher wages he should go to Saudi.

If he wants to stay in europe he should lower his wages.
