I could see us going after him once the blood money arrives

will cost a feck load more though
 
still i think we are in a good position to get oshimen. almost all striker positions are taken except for real madrid but i don't think he fits there. chelsea-nkunku city-haaland arsenal jesus Liverpool nunez a transfer to united is the most logical
 
I think he is a great player but just not a sure thing, especially in the PL and for 100+ mill.

The only player I would put money on to really produce from the start is Kane but that will most likely also be 100+ mill and for that he is too old (likely only 2-3 top seasons left).

Need to find the next big thing, but they will still be 60-70 mill. Strikers just dont come cheap.
 
Napoli are getting Rudi Garcia, best they sell him now because they aren't gonna be as good next season anyway and Osimhen will have only 1 year on his contract. His value could drop significantly next summer.
 
Fear FFP would stop us going all in this window even if Jassim actually owns the club
 
€150M is ridiculous. This guy had his first outstanding season. Haaland and Mbappe would cost then easily €300-400M since they do the same, if not better, on a regular basis.. .
 
There’s really no point in shopping the top names form any given season anymore. Everybody has gone cash crazy. You can see why more and more players are insisting on clauses when signing for these clubs

They cost more… Go to Abu Dhabi with 300 million for Haaland, they won’t even consider it...

Just shows how insanse and crazy the market has become. Anyway, I doubt someone is going to pay €150M for this guy.

Its simply supply and demand to be honest, there is a lack of options in the striker market so there is going to be a premium to pay.
I agree though, he won't cost 150m euros if he leaves this summer, but I think he will cost 100m euros at least

He will cost that this summer,maybe next year I could see him moving for €100m
 
Either clubs like Napoli start judging things realistically or be aware that they stand to lose their players for free in a year or 2. It’s not in the players interest to be priced out of the market
 
Napoli is a big club with a aim to do another great season in the Champions League - they should ask a much as they do for their star players.

It made sense for Koulibaly/Insigne/Mertens… They were willing to spend their prime years over there. A bit like Kane at Spurs….

It doesn’t make sense for Osimhen. He wants the EPL and his wife wants Germany. Both destinations (Bayern or a top EPL club) would increase his wages significantly… He is not going to extend his contract.
 
I really don’t want us to sign Osimhen. Rarely watch him play and think he will be a great striker for us.
He will be the perfect striker for Bruno but that idea doesn’t appeal to me because I’d love to see us move away from this chancing it football.

As a Nigerian I'm not too keen on him leaving Napoli, he did one big season consolidating it with one or two more before leaving isn't a bad idea. Players are always looking to jump ship quite quickly. If he maintains this level or even gets better the big clubs will always be there.

Ask Kane or Rice or countless others, if Napoli don’t sell this season then they’ll offer a substantial pay rise so they remain in power if anyone comes calling.

Still dumb decision by the player. In two years, he could go for free to a big club and therefore demand massive wages as the buying club don't have to pay a transfer fee. I guess he wants more money immediately, but that could cost him in the future.

For the most part footballers seem to be very short sighted and get lost in the immediate money often on offer.

Maybe he's fairly happy in Napoli anyway? Super passionate fanbase where you are a hero having just helped them to first title in years. Good food and a fun city. Decent chance of more titles in the future. It's not like being stuck at West Ham or something.

In other words ‘offer us £100 million and we’ll talk, if not we’ll extend his contract’

100m is too low. They bought him for a high amount. And Napoli aint easy to deal with. I think we are looking at 120-130m. Nobody is going to spend that on him.

This keeps getting said and has been proven wrong, Napoli sent three very over quoted players the opposite way to Lille to make it come across like a far higher price and deal.

I think they only paid something like £45 million for Osimhen but yes their chairman is even harder to negotiate with than Levy at Spurs is, that said though outside of Mbappe or Haaland you never know what an owner will say when £100 million is on the table until it officially is.
 
Got to at least put in a £75m and see what they say. He’s one of two strikers I think look Bona fide elite level right now that seem open to a move. The other won’t be allowed to leave Spurs.

Honestly don't think there's anything elite about him apart from his aerial/heading ability and his work rate. He has a lot to work on before being elite.
