Why Chelsea have the edge to sign Victor Osimhen over Arsenal and PSG

Chelsea are pushing hard to sign Victor Osimhen, the best available striker on the summer 2024 transfer market and a massive upgrade over the options the Blues currently have up top. Although summer 2023 signing Nicolas Jackson has recently shown signs that he can be a valuable player to Chelsea, it appears the club still wants a truly elite, out-and-out No. 9. The 2022/23 Capocannoniere fits the bill on paper. Chelsea aren't the only big club going for Osimhen this summer. PSG are highly interested in adding a superstar forward with Kylian Mbappe set to join Real Madrid, while Arsenal are just as keen on adding a true No. 9. The Blues' chief rivals in the Premier League and in this Osimhen transfer battle, Arsenal do have a competent 9 in Gabriel Jesus and a potentially elite one...

The only reason why Kylian Mbappe hasn’t announced his Real Madrid transfer yet

PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe is about to become a free agent, but there is no extravaganza about the most talented footballer on the planet leaving for free. That's because everyone knows he is going to Real Madrid. Even key figures at other clubs, such as Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, joke about the well-known fact that Mbappe only wants Real Madrid. At this point, PSG have given up on trying to convince Mbappe to stay. Luis Enrique isn't playing nice with him in front of the media and even subbed him early in multiple Ligue 1 matchups. The PSG front office isn't engaging in their usual scare tactics towards Real Madrid either. So why hasn't Kylian Mbappe just gone ahead and announced to the whole world that the jig is up and he is finally joining Real Madrid in 2024? ...

Real Madrid Transfers: PSG are already waving goodbye to Kylian Mbappé

We are set for a big transfer window in the upcoming summer as there are already huge developments as we head toward the conclusion of the ongoing campaign. Kylian Mbappé is set to call an end to his seven-year chapter at Paris Saint-Germain, the player deciding to leave the French capital as a free agent this summer. It has become somewhat of a foregone conclusion as to where Mbappé will play come the 2024-25 season, and all (not most) signs point towards Real Madrid. In February 2024, Mbappé communicated his decision to not trigger an extension in his contract to PSG chief Nasser al-Khelaifi and everyone else that matters at the club, according to a report from The Athletic's David Ornstein. The Parisian outfit have already started to prepare for life without their biggest pl...

Mauricio Pochettino’s transfer history: Biggest flops and successes, favorite positions

Mauricio Pochettino's transfer history is one of the most interesting in football today. He has managed tiny clubs with small transfer budgets, giant ones who love to spend big in the transfer market, and everything in between.

Takeaways: Vinícius Jr. better than Kylian Mbappé; Bayern Munich deserve this; Marcus Thuram world-class

Is Real Madrid's current superstar forward Vinícius Júnior better than Kylian Mbappé? Is this the beginning of the end for Bayern Munich? And why aren't more people calling Inter Milan's new star striker Marcus Thuram world-class? Here are the biggest takeaways from Saturday's action in Europe's top five leagues. Marcus Thuram is legitimately world-class Inter Milan passed their latest test on the road to the Scudetto with flying colors, overcoming a 2-1 deficit to defeat Roma at the Stadio Olimpico 4-2, cutting new manager Daniele de Rossi back down a size. Although Lautaro Martínez is the Ballon d'Or candidate striker in Milano, Marcus Thuram took center stage on Saturday afternoon with two goals, proving to be a step ahead of the Roma defense each and every time.

5 possible midfield transfer targets for PSG

Once again, PSG are the odds-on favorites to win Ligue 1, though, as last season's late push from Lens showed, nothing is a guarantee in a French top flight that is a little more competitive than the general football fanbase gives it credit for being. While PSG have made strides under Luis Enrique, there are still lingering issues. The club is overly-reliant on Kylian Mbappé, the defense remains disappointing in front of Gianluigi Donnarumma, and the midfield isn't quite able to exert dominant control over matches despite benefiting from promising young talents. As such, PSG know they need to keep working to assemble a young, dominant midfield that can form the foundation for this team, with or without Mbappé. Here are five possible midfield options for the best team in Ligue 1. ...
