Didn’t Napoli spend £70m on him? No way they let him go for £100m. I’d imagine a figure closer to £150m will be closer to the truth

There are quotation marks around that 70m figure.

The deal has long been a cause of controversy, as the official €70m transfer plus €10m in bonuses fee was only circa €50m in cash, the other €20m made up of goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis and three youth team players Luigi Liguori, Claudio Manzi and Ciro Palmieri.

The value of the youth team players immediately raised eyebrows, because they were given vastly inflated prices on the transfer market.

This caused even more controversy when the three players never actually wore the Lille jersey, as they were immediately loaned out to Serie C sides and their contracts were simply terminated a year later free of charge.

The players went to the media complaining the deal had ruined their careers and they were used as pawns in a larger transaction used to bolster the finances of both Napoli and Lille.

Every source that is somewhat reliable on my twitter feed says they are not going to sell him this summer.

They spent £66m on him so £100m when his contract expires in 2 years isn't very unlikely. I imagine a bit more and they'll let him go. They can buy some 2-3 really good players with that, especially with their transfer strategy.
 
Osimhen, Kane, Vlahovic or move Rashford to striker. There are plenty choices.

I think they'd hypothetically take Antony's place as first choice right forward, with Antony as rotation/bench option, meaning there'd still be plenty of room for a top CF.

I thought that too but then with Rashford, Sancho, Garnacho and Antony already as wide options and a need for a diverse fluid striker I think it’d be more likely they’d be used up top along with a new striker and Martial being moved on due to never being fit for more than a week.

When has a selling club ever admitted they're going to sell?

The Napoli owner isn't stupid. Of course he wants to keep his best players, but he also doesn't want to lose good money. They'll sell to the highest bidder this summer and probably get 100m Euros.

Wait 1 more year and they'd get half that.

The CAF experts that wanted Nunez and Scamacca over the summer are the ones that are saying that Osimhen isn't good enough technically for United.

I’ve heard the CAF experts who wanted Cody Gakpo and thought €100m on Antony was worth it are the ones saying €150m Osimhen will be a success in the PL. Don’t ask me to provide any evidence of this though as I just made it up.
 
he will be so deadly on the end of our midfields passing. We have to get it done.
 
How the feck has he scored from there? That's even more improbable than the Rashford one last night. :eek:

 
keep it on frame and you never know what happens.....but that's bloody poor keeping
