11 goals in 15 league apperances and 2 goals in 5 CL appearances, he's maybe even saving himself a bit after the injury.

Apparently Napoli is keen on Jonathan David from Lille being his replacement.

 

There's alot of talk about us not paying over 150k in wages, just rumours and all that but it makes sense.

Surely PSG or any other top club will come in and trump that considerably?

Just can't see this happening unless he really really wants the move.

Gyokeres makes alot more sense due to his clause being alot more favourable and I can't imagine him being on alot of money. We're going to have so much competition when it comes for strikers though so its not a given we'll get either of them due to our league standing.

Against Sassuolo. Burnley and SU would both knock them over.

Not after him according to Romano 

This guy has flop written all over him.

Lmao

 

I love how this is exactly like the Caicedo situation. 

Oh he really wants to join Chelsea, and yet they sign a contract extension in January which makes joining Chelsea all the more difficult.

Its all BS being stoked up by Mikel. I have listened to Osimhen as well, and it is all about the money. If PSG come in with dough to replace Mbappe, all this Chelsea talk is pure waffle for clicks. Still the podcast is going great guns, eh?

stay far away from this bum, hideous player. Arsenal spunking 100m on him would be hilarious because he will flop

There's reportedly a clause in his renewal which allowed him to agree with another club and leave in the summer. It's already done allegedly. 

Arsenal or PSG I reckon.

Most likely with Mbappé gone.

 

Surely that's more than his buy out clause? Osimhen is class but I can't help but think there's better value for money out there.

He was bang average v Roma last week. In a bang average game. Pedestrian doesn't begin to describe it.

14 goals in 22 Serie A games this season which isn't bad at all, especially considering Napoli have been a mess this season with the awful managerial appointments after Spalletti left them in the summer.

Bear in mind that Serie A is, in general, a level (sometimes several) below the PL. I watched Bologna v Torino the other night. 4th v 10th. It was mid-table Championship stuff at best.

Horrible take, only a few weeks ago we saw Atalanta batter Liverpool who are supposed to be one of the best teams in the prem. There's such a weird snobbery in this country about Serie A.

Who hasn't battered Liverpool recently? But seriously. Atalanta and Inter (this season anyway) are outliers. They play high-tempo, challenging, tactically astute football. More power to them. I live in Italy, I see a lot of their football. Try watching more than the occasional game. 

DiMarzio is also pretty reliable in Italy so it makes it all the more worrying. That is an awful deal.

Getting a top striker during his prime years while finally getting rid of Lukaku? Sounds like a good deal to me.

Isn’t Lukaku still valued at 35m? Plus a young player too? 
 

We’re getting shafted.

"isn't bad" is definitely what you want to hear when paying over 100 million for a striker.

Pfft, have some people on here learned nothing about buying strikers from that league?

I believe the earlier reports that ADL will only accept the release clause, that is very much his style, and the probability his next move was sorted long ago (PSG) seems likely as well.

 

However Nini on Blue lions speculated that the young player in quest is Casadei. Which would make the total deal worth about 150mill euros.
