Hopefully, Mbappe and/or Neymar will leave PSG at the end of this season. Is someone else ‘seeing what I am saw’….???
@Dr Drey, yes o, we are seeing it, psg will bcom useless, 4 more goals, for osimhen to break records.
then PSG would come for osimhen
@Dr Dre, I want Madrid move. PSG move is horizontal career move. I will even prefer he stays one more season in Lille to professionally get grounded with pressure of the business before making the vertical move we pray for him
Take a look at Mbappe’s career path and assess if PSG was a horizontal move.
That will surely be a most sensible move. Wise one bro.
PSG is a top club n perfect nest to hatch golden eggs.
I don’t think he will move to PSG though it’s very possible but I see osihmen playing for Barcelona nest season. He is the man Barca needs now and it’s the best for him and eagles becos barca will teach him alot of skills on the ball. Second option might be Liverpool followed by real Madrid
Neymar goes back to Barca……Mbappe goes to Madrid…. Liverpool still has MFS….Where does that leave Osimhem….on the bench…???
I love how that goal was scored against Marseille,Osimhen a thorough striker who knows how to run behind defenders creating space to be fed and always a fantastic fleet footed finisher.
However,i would love this super kid to move to Spain but to a team where he can establish himself as the number 9 rather than an understudy.
Meanwhile,Barcelona and Real Madrid are rumoured to be showing unofficial interest,but if that comes to light,that would be a mammoth decision for this lethal beanpole striker and one full with uncertainties.
Benzema has established himself as the undisputed number 9 for Real Madrid likewise Suarez for Barcelona.This two have maintained years of consistent productivity and are not showing any signs of backing down or drop of form meaning they are still at the top of their game and world class rated.Upstaging this two stars is almost impossible for a young striker still learning the ropes.
However,the truth is that,Osimhen will be used as a back up and not a wise decision for a young in form striker and this is where he needs proper guidance in making a good career decision.
Hoping Osimhen makes the right choice.He is a good striker young and productive,his international services will go a long way his choices for the future is a huge interest for the country because of the gains or loses this decision will bring to his career and country Nigeria.
This boy would not be in French league next season, I can see Milan coming for him with a big offer.
