CHELSEA STAR ON ATLETICO’S RADAR IN €40M TRANSFER MOVE

Chelsea face a battle to keep key starter Marc Cucurella, with Atletico Madrid planning a €40m offer. The Spaniard is vital for Enzo Maresca, making a sale unlikely despite the need for squad evolution.

Currently, Chelsea needs to bolster their team. It is necessary to introduce an established quality. The team has failed to advance throughout the more than three years of the current ownership due to the perplexing transfer strategy of exclusively buying young players. Although patience is a virtue, it is crucial to recognise when it is time to adjust tactics as well.

We do not want the team to stop attempting to sign young players altogether. However, it is crucial to strike a balance by also adding experienced talent, as the other elite teams in Europe appear to do. This is why they have held onto their position, whereas Chelsea has quickly fallen after the ownership change.

Losing the established players in their existing roster is the last thing Chelsea can afford to do at this time. Marc Cucurella is one of them, although it appears that Spain is interested in him.

Cucurella is one of Diego Simeone's primary goals to bolster his defence, according to Fichajes. Atletico Madrid plans to hold off on making a move until the summer of 2026. Around €40 million is the projected bid, which the Spanish club believes is realistic to complete the transaction.

Cucurella is a perfect starter for Enzo Maresca's team, and Atletico Madrid is considering a €40 million offer for the Chelsea star. And considering Jorrel Hato has not impressed since his summer transfer, he is anticipated to stay that way. The Dutch international was responsible for both of Chelsea's goals in their most recent Champions League match with Qarabag.

Even though Chelsea may be amenable to the Spaniard leaving, it is difficult to believe that they would let Cucurella leave for a transfer fee of about €40 million, given how important he is to this club. He is among the world's top left-backs.

We are aware that Chelsea's defence has received a lot of flak this year. But rather than players like Cucurella and Reece James at full-back, that is mostly due to the absence of quality at centre-back.

PSG TARGETING VICTOR OSIMHEN IN POTENTIAL €150M BLOCKBUSTER TRANSFER

PSG is linked with a shock move for Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker is in top form, but the Turkish club will demand a fee of around €150 million for any transfer.

According to Reports, Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has been connected to a surprise move to PSG, a team in the French Ligue 1. 

For the last five years, Osimhen has been among the world's most attractive shooters. In France, Italy, Belgium, and now at Galatasaray, he has continuously scored goals.

The 26-year-old striker has already shown his worth after joining the Turkish powerhouses in the summer for a league-record €75 million.

Osimhen has six goals in three games this season, which puts him atop the UEFA Champions League goalscoring chart. He scored a record-breaking hat-trick at Ajax this week, which was his most recent haul.

Many clubs have taken notice of Osimhen's performances, and if he keeps up his current pace, a larger team may attempt to sign him away from Galatasaray in the near future.

Meanwhile, according to recent claims from Fichajes, PSG may even try to sign the former Lille player. They claim that coach Luis Enrique has requested that the team sign a top striker who is similar to Osimhen.

PSG's top nine. Since moving from Benfica for €65 million two years ago, Goncalo Ramos has not been totally convincing, and Enrique thinks a striker like Osimhen would help them keep up their position at the top of European football.

In response to PSG's interest, Galatasaray has committed €150 million for Victor Osimhen.


Fichajes claims that Galatasaray will only consider offers for Victor Osimhen that total about €150 million.

However, given that they recently paid €75 million for him and placed him on a massive wage plan, this is not shocking. They will therefore wish to recover the majority of their capital as well as more.

In addition, Alxander Isak, who is nearly as good as Osimhen, cost more than €140 million during the most recent summer transfer window. Galatasaray would therefore believe that they have the right to demand €150 million.

PSG has a reputation for spending a lot of money. The record of €222 million for Neymar is still in their possession. This is not the first time Osimhen and PSG have been connected. Les Parisiens would undoubtedly spend a fortune if they truly wanted him.

PREMIER LEAGUE RIVALS BEWARE: ERLING HAALAND PROMISES RELENTLESS CITY ATTACKING THREAT

In his quest for more goals, Erling Haaland has cautioned Manchester City's opponents that he is in the best physical and mental shape of his career.

With 13 goals so far this season, the Premier League's leading scorer has more than doubled his nearest rivals, including Antoine Semenyo of Bournemouth.

Haaland is hoping to surpass his previous best of 52 goals in a single season, having scored 18 goals in 14 games across all competitions going into Sunday's matchup with Liverpool.

The 25-year-old declared, "I think this is the best version of myself." "This is the best feeling I have ever had."I feel great, and it is been a terrific start.

I have to keep my head in the correct place in order to stay sharp. It involves maintaining equilibrium and staying in the zone.

With a victory over Arne Slot's team at the Etihad Stadium, City may move four points clear of Liverpool thanks to Haaland's incredible play, which has kept them in the hunt behind league leaders Arsenal.

Erling Haaland has cautioned Manchester City's opponents that, in his quest for more goals, he is in the finest physical and mental shape of his career.

In addition, Haaland honoured City manager Pep Guardiola before his 1,000th game in charge. 

Pep Guardiola's 1000th game as manager is brought up during the discussion, and Haaland feels that City owes its head coach to fire themselves into the running for the championship.

It is the brilliant Pep Guardiola. The Norwegian continued. There is a reason he has been winning so much: his hard work and dedication.

Take a look at all that he has accomplished for this team and over his career; it is quite amazing. It is about cooperating; we must pay attention to him as he instructs us on how to play and what to do. He deserves our performance, so we must do it for him.

Guardiola said Liverpool are ideal opponents for the day he hits 1,000 and denied claims that his coaching has tactically altered the game.

Eight of the nine titles since Guardiola took over have been won by City and Liverpool, who were separated by just one point in two of those seasons.

"They would be the best rival if I had to pick only one for my personal milestone," Guardiola remarked. Liverpool has been the nation's fiercest adversary, particularly under Jurgen Klopp.

To be honest, it could not be better. That was decided by the universe. Living life to the fullest is pleasant. I am sorry, but the numbers are crazy.

"The wins, the average (points), not only in the Premier League but also in the Champions League... we have achieved amazing feats here, at Barcelona, and in Bayern Munich."

It is hard to get to, and I would not get there if I started over. Throughout history, managers have had an influence. Since the numbers support it and it has been enjoyable to watch our team, I can say that I have been involved.
