The game of musical chairs is about to be unblocked on this transfer market. Until now, the files were struggling to move forward. The fault lies with international competitions like the Euro, the Copa América and even a little the Olympic Games which delay all negotiations. The clubs fear injuries in the first place. But here we are less than a month away from the resumption of the championships and the discussions have accelerated, once most of the major tournaments are over.
PSG will also be able to accelerate, in terms of arrivals and departures. Yesterday evening, Sky Italy informed us that an agreement in principle between Naples and Romelu Lukaku had been reached. The Belgian said yes to a 3-year contract for a salary of €6 million per year. Negotiations are continuing between the Italian club and Chelsea. The Blues are asking for €35 million with bonuses for the striker recruited for €113 million from Inter in 2021. The Azzurri are trying to lower the bill.

However, they should not be short of funds since the probable arrival of Lukaku also allows them to unblock the situation for Victor Osimhen at PSG. Still according to the same Italian media, Naples must first sell to recruit. This favors the departure of the Nigerian to the club of the French capital, even if the negotiations are still in progress. Paris offers around €100 million, when the Neapolitans would like a sale at €130 million, which is the release clause. According to Skythings are likely to change at the start of the week.
Which brings us to another case, that of Xavi Simons. Neither PSG nor the player want to continue together, at least this season. According to information from Imagethe Parisian management asked the Dutchman’s courtiers, Bayern Munich in the lead, to be patient, the time for them to attract the star recruit of their transfer window (Osimhen) in order to relieve the supporters after the departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid. Thus, the famous photo of Xavi Simons on social networks, a Uno card “change of meaning”, which can be interpreted by a transfer, would not be due to chance…
