Naples: Osimhen next priority for Chelsea
According to Telegraph, Chelsea will make Victor Osimhen (24), Naples star, their priority when he works to strengthen their attack. This could happen during the next transfer windows, and even as early as this winter. Despite huge expenses in recent months and a bloated workforce, Mauricio Pochettino wants significant reinforcement at the forefront.
He targets the Nigerian whose relations with Naples have become stormy in recent weeks. The amount of a transfer would be around the 100 million euros mark for a player at the end of his contract in 2025 with Naples.

OL: Lacazette and Tolisso could leave this winter
This is information that will make noise in a Lyon context already agitated due to the defeats accumulated in Ligue 1. Last in the standings after thirteen days of the championship, OL have forgotten the European places and are now fighting to maintain their position. A battle that could be fought without the two big names in its squad.
According to Progress, Lyon management is seriously considering selling Alexandre Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso from the winter transfer window. Two emblematic players but clearly insufficient performance, particularly in view of their emoluments. The striker earns 5.4 million euros per year with a contract until June 2025 while the midfielder earns 4.8 million euros per year with a lease until June 2027.
After a very good season last season (27 goals in Ligue 1), Lacazette only has 3 goals in the French championship while Tolisso is suffering more injuries.

Lorient: Le Bris “not disconcerted” by the situation of the team, roadblock
Régis Le Bris is still fighting to raise the lead of Lorient, beaten by Metz (2-3) on Sunday and still a barrage with only two victories on the clock. “The high level is made up of failures, series and bad results,” confides the Breton coach. “We’re in the middle of it. Am I disconcerted by the situation? No. Do I lack the energy to turn things around? No. I’m also questioning myself.”
“I’m really optimistic about the ability to change things,” he says. “It’s a group that is weakened, who are having a hard time with the situation and who want to get out of it. Obviously, there are players in the middle of all this, we must not forget their responsibilities. We take ours . Me first. We must, all together, decide to take the extra step because I really believe in this team. I believe in this project, at FC Lorient in Ligue 1. It’s not fear that will make me vary by one iota.”

Should OL fire Fabio Grosso? Daniel Riolo shared, Stéphane Guy advises calling Genesio back
Fabio Grosso’s situation on the OL bench seems increasingly fragile after the new defeat against Lille (0-2) on Sunday. Arrived mid September, Fabio Grosso Is he still the man for the job? For Stéphane Guy, we have to part with it to bring back… Bruno Genesio, who has just left the Rennais Stadium taking everyone by surprise.
>> Full declarations here
“I would be Lyon, I would immediately look into Genesio“, insists Stéphane Guy in After Foot on RMC. “Genesio’s return to Lyon would look good. They were inspired, those who insulted Genesio! Was he in a situation of failure? It depends on where you find the failure situation. The balance sheet of Genesio in Lyon seems entirely defensible to me. A good coach is someone to whom you entrust a group of players and who gets the most out of them. Genesio is leaving because he is rotten by the Lyon supporters.”
Daniel Riolo is more measured. If he admits that he would change coaches if he were in the place of John Textorthe RMC Sport journalist remains convinced that the Lyon team is worth more than its current ranking.
“You take any match between the last in the standings and the fourth, it doesn’t give the match we saw this evening. And that should be a wake-up call. At half-time it’s not over. The fourth, when he goes to the last one, he doesn’t play against, he imposes his game. There, we had a match that was balanced most of the time. Except that we have a team which has more efficiency, more offensive talent but for the rest, we do not have one team which crushes the other. The opportunities that Lyon have… when you create that and you miss, it means that you have a problem with efficiency, with players, with a coach who doesn’t make the right choice,” judges Daniel Riolo.
