That's mental. He's under contract until 2026 too. Probably a move to force him to a Saudi team before their deadline ends on Monday.
It's not like us and reguilon where he's just not good enough. He's a superstar striker, far better than lukaku. Nothing surprises me with conte though

To be fair to Conte, this isn't his decision.

The club gave him an improved contract (that he deserved) but the president set the club back big time with his appointment of Rudi Garcia ( to replace Spaletti).

Now the club want him off the wage bill but Chelsea weren't serious because they never matched his current contract.

Why Chelsea were bidding for this calibre of striker is weird because he has a massive contract (he made it clear he isn't taking a pay cut) and they wanted to get rid of Sterling because of his massive contract...

To be fair to napoli Osimhen made a big deal about being allowed to leave and then turned down several moves

There's also the whole business where the Napoli social media team posted videos of him that could easily be construed as racist in the early part of last season. A lot of bridges between Osimhen and the club hierarchy were burned in the fallout from that.

The Osimhen thing is partly on Napoli but mainly on Osimhen. He should’ve taken a pay cut to move to a top European side and get his career back on track.

Yeah, either pure cowardice or pure stupidity. With a solid splash of greed, of course.

Hermoso is going to Roma, and Chris Smalling is going to Al Fayha in Saudi.

Odd one as they are not a big club in Saudi. 7000 seater stadium. Mid-table last season.

Smalling will be the biggest name in the squad. And Roma signed a Saudi player this week, Saud Abdulhamid from Al Hilal. This is after Dybala rejected a move to KSA.

All seems a little.. too coincidental.

Can’t see them letting him go - seems
To pop up in important moments. Though perhaps this was the reason for Sterling..

He’s approaching 30 isn’t he? They might think it would be a good time to cash in if they trust Sterling instead. Think it would be a mistake though. So hopefully this happens.

Sterling and Martinelli as their LW options massively weakens them IMO. I don't think Trossard is a world-beater by any means, but I'd comfortably see him ahead of the other two.

Trossard has been an unbelievable impact/big game player for them. Scored some really important goals. If you're going for the league, £30m isnt worth it to them.

So I hope they do sell him
