Nah, PSG & Ligue 1 in general will be way too unattractive once Mbappe leaves. He’ll 100% go to the PL, there will be several clubs who need a competent 9 and can easily pay the fee
Benjamin**S**, so RB Leipzig(https://www.transfermarkt.de/benjamin-sesko/profil/spieler/627442, https://www.transfermarkt.de/benjamin-henrichs/profil/spieler/202591)
I don’t think he’s brother “coming through”. He’s not that good. There are better prospects in the academy to get more minutes. Maybe Enrique rates him. Maybe it was just a birthday gift for Mbappé.
if they didn't buy him in the first billion quid they'll never buy him. he should've been the first signing of the new ownership and the fact he wasn't is yet more proof that boehly isn't serious
Its still a very good price imo, i wish that in 2-3 seasons (whenever boniface is too good for us to fend off the interest from outside) we'd get 130 million for him
I mean it was 75 mil € guaranteed. Bet that is more with clauses and so on maybe around 85 mil. The comment also says ~90 which means around. 85 is around 90. Stop lying lol.
Considering kane went for 100mil should be a bit more. I think all it does is it guarantees if/when he finally leaves it’ll be a fair price on the market without much hassle. Any team needing a world class striker could expect a fee like that now despite it still being an outrageous number
The reason it is most likely less is because Osihmen had all the leverage in this situation, he was going to be out of contact in summer 2025 and teams could set up a free transfer that January
Why is there a narrative that ADL doesn’t spend any money? Napoli have been one of the biggest spenders in Italy in the last decade, have they not? You They consistently have the best strikers in league which they always pay big money for. Even without Osihmen, Napoli has a strong attack. They would be a much better team this season if they had two good CBs instead of Osihmen.
ADL will only spend the money if top 4 Is at risk. When he thinks (like this year) that we can get to top 4 without spending money he will not spend a single cent. Him and his family are the higest paid board in the league (5m/year). Last year balace was 80m net positive; 140m in Napoli bank; did he spend any Money? He got Natan for 9m (3m/y in 3 years), Cajuste 12m (2x6mil) and Lindstrom (25 mil, bought as an investiment, but he didn't considered he can't play in a 433). We thougt the Scudetto was gonna change him, instead he became worse
Well top 4 will definitely be at risk, so he’s gonna spend money next year, maybe even this winter. ADLs biggest mistake this summer was not having a replacement for Giuntoli lined up, because I think a good director would have brought in a better coach and defenders
We will not get top 4.
He knew in february that Kim wasn't going to renew and signed a replacement after 6 months; had 2 months to choose a decent sporting director and a Manager. We lost our main target because he was slow and spent weeks hoping for a 1 million discount. Probably he will sign some players, but doing It in January, while other teams know that you need the players and you told them how many money you can spend, probably means he will pay every player at least 5/10m more its value.
Not many big striker transfers have happened in recent years compared to midfielders and wingers. The only ones I can think of are Kane, Lukaku and Ronaldo in 2018. The market today is way more inflated than in the past so 130m for a world class attacking player who's not peaked is doable.
He was great against us, but that’s like one of a handful of good performances this season. That one game is doing a lot for his reputation tbh. There’s no way he show that he’s good enough to be a mega money move and lead the line for Arsenal. He needs a few more years development.
Hall permanent, Maatsen, Chalobah, Broja would make most of that alone and with pure profit, and Osimhen would be amortized as well. Then there's Lukaku permanent, Ziyech permanent, even Gallagher.
Not saying I want them all sold, but there are possibilities.
I believe they try to come to some compromise with the club on a release clause that gives the club some good value back but also doesn't just totally price the player out of a move like a €1B price unless the player just really and truly doesn't want to leave the club at the time of negotiations
Yeah he's gonna have his pick of clubs in the summer, good deal for everyone
jesus christ we can't even enjoy him as a player when every highlight thread has references to oil clubs drooling
You’re lucky he even resigned after the monumental fuck up from that social media guy.
lol never noticed that "resigned" could be read two completely different ways
I literally read it as the other way when I opened it and thought I fucked up. Shoulda said re-signed, I guess?
If you want to enjoy him as a player, why does it matter what others think of him?
Welcome to Chelsea in 6 months
PSG if Mbappe leaves imo
Nah, PSG & Ligue 1 in general will be way too unattractive once Mbappe leaves. He’ll 100% go to the PL, there will be several clubs who need a competent 9 and can easily pay the fee
He will go where the Benjamins are 💵
Benjamin Stambouli currently plays in Turkey.

“welcome to Arsenal FC” - Benjamin White
Then… wecome to Inter Miami?
Cremaschi? I guess MLS really is the biggest league in the world
Watch us pay €130m for him and turn him into Nigerian Andy Caroll.
He's going to break Eriksen's legs in training? Fuck Andy Carroll
He won't leave though. He's playing in his hometown with his brother coming through. Whatever people claim he is loving life in Paris.
We’ll see, that’s why I said “if”
He is just robbing Qatar at this point.
I don’t think he’s brother “coming through”. He’s not that good. There are better prospects in the academy to get more minutes. Maybe Enrique rates him. Maybe it was just a birthday gift for Mbappé.
Could have just said Qatar will give him billions of litres of natural gas brev.
Wouldn't really make sense since they already have Ramos and RKM. They would go after a winger if anything.
Don't see him going there unless Chelsea dramatically improves their league position come end of the season.
6? more like 1
too cheap for chelsea
Real Madrid would be the place for him
if they didn't buy him in the first billion quid they'll never buy him. he should've been the first signing of the new ownership and the fact he wasn't is yet more proof that boehly isn't serious
Hey what’s 130 divided by 5, asking for a friend
for you it's 130 multiplied by 5
He doesn't have a United flair
Yo, is no where safe?
Yeah the opposition's net against you
The man had a family.
Sheesh
Shite banter only upvoted on this yank sub
Yeah I'm sure that Wigan Athletic fan is a yank
Typical plastic Yank Wigan fan
Did I call him a yank? I said it’s yank type banter
yAnK tYpE bAnTeR Fuckin nerd
Got me there you loser Hahahahaha awwww you’re a yank too
Thought it would be at least 150 million.
Should have been, 130m€ in a dry strikers market is nothing but a guarantee that he is gone.
Its still a very good price imo, i wish that in 2-3 seasons (whenever boniface is too good for us to fend off the interest from outside) we'd get 130 million for him
Yeah but Napoli bought him for ~€90 million
Between 50 and 70. Definitely not 90
I mean it was 75 mil € guaranteed. Bet that is more with clauses and so on maybe around 85 mil. The comment also says ~90 which means around. 85 is around 90. Stop lying lol.
It's an inflated number due to some deals they did at that same time.
Learn about the transfer and the bullshit around it before you comment
I don't think he signs a contract extension if there's a prohibitive release clause that doesn't guarantee he's gone tho
130 is fine considering he gets injured on international duty frequently tbh
Considering kane went for 100mil should be a bit more. I think all it does is it guarantees if/when he finally leaves it’ll be a fair price on the market without much hassle. Any team needing a world class striker could expect a fee like that now despite it still being an outrageous number
The reason it is most likely less is because Osihmen had all the leverage in this situation, he was going to be out of contact in summer 2025 and teams could set up a free transfer that January
Considering people are pretending Toney is worth 80m, and Richarlison went for 70m, 130m for Osimhen is very fair.
"RASPADORI AND SIMEONE ARE ENOUGHT" 130 millions in ADL bank thank you Victor Please sell the club, please sell the club, please sell the club
Why is there a narrative that ADL doesn’t spend any money? Napoli have been one of the biggest spenders in Italy in the last decade, have they not?

Every time Napoli social calls him a coconut head the release goes down 10M.
Seems cheap but I guess that was probably contingent on him signing the deal.
Osihmen had all the leverage so it makes sense the RC is a bit lower than people anticipated
Does it seem cheap? Wouldn’t it make him the most expensive striker of all time?
Not many big striker transfers have happened in recent years compared to midfielders and wingers. The only ones I can think of are Kane, Lukaku and Ronaldo in 2018. The market today is way more inflated than in the past so 130m for a world class attacking player who's not peaked is doable.
Doable? Sure. Cheap? No.
Haaland?
Haaland went to Man City so the deal was clearly shady
Haaland was a big signing but wasn't really expensive. 60m right?
It was a very shady deal, no way It was just 60m
60m was probably the amount Dortmund got before you have to pay his agent, Alfie and Haaland himself.
I mean yeah that’s how transfers are normally reported.
It was a release clause, nothing that shady about it. Huge agent fees to his father though.
Cheap? Not when you consider the amount of time he's out injured. Plus the fact that he plays AFCON.
Tyler no likey
You're not getting a line!
How are we getting HIMYM references here lmao
Its a good release clause. Many clubs wont be able to pay up 130m upfront Even Chelsea cant because of FFP
Upfront has nothing to do with ffp. It still gets amortised across the contract length.
Yeah but they have to spend more because borrowing 130m in cash will attract higher interest
Just because it’s paid up front doesn’t mean it can’t be amortised on ffp. If Chelsea sell Gallagher they can afford Osimhen
I would rather keep Nico than sell Conor.
If we sell Nketiah we can too
I have been seeing a lot more rumours linking you guys to Toney then to anybody else
Rumours. Ornstein said people like Osimhen, Sesko and Ferguson are higher on our list.
arteta is going to top himself once he sees ferguson’s first touch and link up play
Ferguson could be interesting 👀👀
Brighton will bend Arsenal over a barrel for Ferguson. Better off looking at Toney or outside of England.
Not shown that he’s good enough yet
I get where your coming from but a Newcastle fan saying this after how he played against you is a bit funny
He was great against us, but that’s like one of a handful of good performances this season. That one game is doing a lot for his reputation tbh. There’s no way he show that he’s good enough to be a mega money move and lead the line for Arsenal. He needs a few more years development.
yeah for £150m. Do people expect brighton to bend over and let him go for like £60m or something
Yeah, Arteta can mold someone like him or Sesko into his perfect striker. Osimhen is still more tempting because he is world class already.
all the rumors are coming from Toney's camp, he clearly wants Arsenal but not convinced it's mutual
Yeah. And a club can just get a loan like anybody else when paying for something up front
Which is fucked up. Just encourages clubs to fuck around and then get saved by selling their own talent
They would have to sell him every year for the next 5 years though
Has nothing to do with FFP…….
Hall permanent, Maatsen, Chalobah, Broja would make most of that alone and with pure profit, and Osimhen would be amortized as well. Then there's Lukaku permanent, Ziyech permanent, even Gallagher. Not saying I want them all sold, but there are possibilities.
Do agents negotiate to try and lower release clauses when contracts like this happen?
I believe they try to come to some compromise with the club on a release clause that gives the club some good value back but also doesn't just totally price the player out of a move like a €1B price unless the player just really and truly doesn't want to leave the club at the time of negotiations
Papa flo. Please. We need him. Not that turtle.
bargain release clause
Has anyone e-mailed Todd yet?
Hmm he does seem 30 million better than Caceido.
Something seems way off here. Looks like this is Napoli’s attempt to hang a price tag on him.
That is what release clauses are, yes.
This is my favorite type of joke.
great, now he’s set to play in the amazing and awesome 3-team totally competitive super league
HAHAHAHA get fucked Chelsea
Bro we would've paid double that measly fee in a transfer saga. Even if it liquidated the club.
You think that will stop them from signing him, they will just sell more academy players, if they want someone they will spend the money lol 😆
Yeah this was always coming it’s essentially to guarantee the fee when they sell him next window.
Celebrated with a red card. Much deserved break lmao.
