The report also notes that PSG are prepared to meet both Osimhen's wage demands and his £63 million release clause, giving them an edge over Manchester United and Chelsea in the race for the striker.
Juventus set sights on Manchester United, PSG targetTransfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio reports that if Vlahovic is sold, Juventus plan to sign two strikers. Kolo Muani is on their list, and the Bianconeri are expected to resume negotiations with PSG after the Club World Cup.
Osimhen remains their top target, and Juventus are making a serious push to bring him to Turin, even though their budget for a striker is limited to €50 million.
This week, Foot Mercato reported that Osimhen has resumed talks with Manchester United, who are still in the market for a No. 9.
The French media outlet notes that talks have recently resumed based on the same conditions discussed weeks ago—namely, a €12 million salary for the player and a €75 million total package, including bonuses, for Napoli, who currently own the striker.

3️⃣ questions before Atleti's Club World Cup debut
Sign up for DAZN to watch all FIFA Club World Cup matches for FREE Atlético de Madrid makes its debut in the Club World Cup and it's not against just anyone. The PSG of Luis Enrique, current European champion after sweeping Inter Milan in the Munich final, is the first hurdle for Diego Pablo Simeone's team. Advertisement The first big match in the Club World Cup raises many questions about the red and white team. We reveal them! Griezmann... to the bench? We must admit that Antoine did not end the season in his best form. The years go by, and there were many voices suggesting that his leading role at Atlético de Madrid should give way to a new era at Atlético with Julián Álvarez as the spearhead. 📸 OSCAR DEL POZO - AFP or licensors Today is the first big test where we will find out what happens with Griezmann. Will the Frenchman continue to be a starter and reference in the attack or will we see him in the final 30' of the game to try to change the match? Will Sorloth continue to be the bet from the bench? A total of 20. Those were the goals that the Norwegian striker ended up scoring in his first campaign with Atlético. Advertisement Simeone bet on Sortloth coming off the bench, and although the numbers did not disappoint there are many who wonder: does it make sense that the top scorer of the squad is not a starter at Atlético? 📸 Florencia Tan Jun - 2025 Getty Images Today "starts" a new test for many and we will have to see if Simeone's bet regarding the former Villarreal player is the same, or we see him as an offensive reference alongside Julián in the attack front. Many doubts on the left wing Without a doubt, the left profile of Atlético de Madrid's squad is the one that raises the most doubts at this time of the season. 📸 GOKHAN TANER Advertisement Without signings, Simeone will start again with names like Javi Galán, Rodrigo Riquelme, Gallagher and Samu Lino for 2 positions. Logic suggests that Álex Baena will own the left attacking area once his signing is confirmed, and that the board will go all out to close Grimaldo, Robertson or Miguel Gutiérrez in the summer months, but for now the red and whites will have to play "with what they have" as they say.

🔎 The Debrief as Club World Cup 2025 starts with a goalless draw
It was goalless in the opening match of the 2025 Club World Cup with Lionel Messi's Inter Miami frustrated against an impressive Al Ahly outfit. Here's what you missed overnight on day one of the tournament. Advertisement You can sign up to DAZN to watch every FIFA Club World Cup game for free. What happened? 📝 Al Ahly and Inter Miami played out an entertaining 0-0 draw in front of a raucous Miami crowd on Saturday evening. Despite fears that there could be swathes of empty seats at the Hard Rock Stadium, 60,000 supporters cheered on Lionel Messi and co in the opening game of the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup. There was plenty of noise in Florida but, unfortunately, very few goals as both goalkeepers played out of their skin to keep the game goalless. That didn't mean the match was short of excitement though, with Al Ahly having a penalty saved and a goal disallowed for offside in the first half. Advertisement And after the break it was Messi's turn to almost score with the former Barcelona man going close with a free kick and then forcing a stunning save in injury time. Player of the day 🔥 Lionel Messi was clearly the biggest name on show last night but it was Miami goalkeeper Oscar Ustari who deserved the largest amount of praise. Ustari was an absolute colossus between the sticks for the hosts, pulling off save after save, especially in the first half. His crowning moment came just before the break however, diving low to his right to save Trezeguet's penalty. Stat of the Day 📊 Exactly 20 years ago, on 14 June 2005, Ustari kept a clean sheet for Argentina against Egypt at the FIFA U-20 World Cup. That Messi-led Albiceleste team went to on become world champions. What this means 🤔 In what is arguably the most open group at this summer's tournament, this is a point that could prove valuable or entirely fruitless come the end of their third matches later this month. Advertisement Palmeiras and Porto, the other two teams in Group A, face each other later on Sunday and should that also finish in the draw, then we'll have a thrilling second round of match to contend with. As it is, both of these teams will surely rue their profligacy in front of goal. What they said 🗣️ 📸 MOHAMED TAGELDIN "We were much better than them, we moved a lot in transition and controlled the game and we had chances to score and win the game," Miami boss Javier Mascherano told afterwards. "Football is like that, maybe in the first half they had some chances too. Obviously we wanted to win because we know how important it is to start with a win, but I'm happy with the platform." Advertisement Al Ahly coach Jose Riveiro also thought his side deserved more than a point: "It's a football game, a game of mistakes. We had a decent amount of chances in the first half to put the game in a different space and we put them in a hurry. In the second half we were defending a little lower than what we wanted and then we had some problems in transition with controlling our first pass. :It's like we were playing in Cairo and that was a surprise for me in my first official match with Al Ahly. To be here in the States and have it like you were playing at home is something that can probably only happen in this." What's next? 👀 Thursday June 19 is the next time we'll be able to see these two in action. Advertisement Al Ahly will travel back the east coast to New Jersey to take on Brazilian giants Palmeiras. Inter Miami meanwhile will be going to Atlanta to take on Porto. 📸 Megan Briggs - 2025 Getty Images

Whatever the Club World Cup is, it's the world's passion for soccer that makes it sing
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Some balked at the 'alarming' ticket prices. Others were scared off by ICE. Some were denied visas by U.S. consular officers. Others simply didn't give a crap about the Club World Cup. And yet, when this strange new tournament lifted off at 8:06 p.m. here on Saturday, tens of thousands of Al Ahly fans were bouncing, bringing it to life. More than 60,000 people ultimately filled Hard Rock Stadium. The first arrived several hours earlier, possessed by excitement. They queued at entrances long before 5 p.m., when gates were scheduled to open. Hundreds packed into a narrow corridor, melting in 91-degree heat. Advertisement 'We're gonna pass out,' one woman told a security guard. Another in a hijab complained about the searing South Florida sun. But most sang. They jumped, and clapped, and sweat, and sang. A few waved Egyptian flags. Others whipped out phones to capture the revelry. Some had traveled from New York, others from nearby, others from Cairo. They came with massive banners and drums, with joy and passion, the type that soccer — or football, or kurat al-qadam, or whatever you call it — makes irrepressible. They came for a tournament that FIFA vastly overbaked and overhyped. As this inaugural Club World Cup approached in April, May and June, organizers became increasingly worried, and desperate to sell tickets. They slashed prices and concocted special deals. They offered five tickets for $20 to local college students, and freebies to veterans. Advertisement Their fears of empty seats, and a drab atmosphere, hounded the buildup to the tournament. Their missteps, clearly, were plentiful. But they were bailed out by the sport they govern. They banked on Lionel Messi igniting their grand venture, and attracting his disciples to the opener. What they seemingly missed was that the allure of the Club World Cup is not glitz and megastars; it's this organic, deep-rooted passion. It's whatever compels whole families to arrive at 4:15 for an 8 p.m. match; whatever compels sane men to chant like lovable maniacs. It's the communities and traditions and love that have grown around this sport over decades and decades, from the Middle East to Europe to South America and beyond. That's what brought tens of thousands of Al Ahly fans to South Florida to outnumber supporters of the local team that employs the greatest player ever. Advertisement That's what brought hundreds, if not thousands, of Palmeiras fans to Times Square the day before their first Club World Cup game Sunday at MetLife Stadium in North Jersey. That's what will drive, and in some ways save, this Club World Cup, from city to city and diaspora to diaspora. There will be some mostly empty stadiums, and some that close their upper decks due to lagging ticket sales, and some duds. FIFA's promotion (and pricing) of the tournament, at times misguided, at times arrogant, has largely failed in the host country. The Club World Cup, to many casual American fans, remains unknown or indistinguishable from the friendlies and preseason 'tournaments' that tour the States every summer. Advertisement And those casual American fans, unfortunately, are the ones to whom many aspects of the event have been tailored. At Saturday's opener, there was a forgettable pregame show; in-stadium hosts and DJs; and NBA-style, individualized player intros. There were fireworks and a flyover, all sorts of things that might, for some, accentuate the experience. But the Al Ahly fans in Section 304? They just wanted to sing. So they sang, and fans halfway across the stadium recognized the songs, and joined in. They bopped up and down, pulsing their arms, making noise that enlivened a 0-0 draw. And when there was a lull, in the upper deck behind one goal, some supporters of Boca Juniors — an Argentine club that plays here Monday — would randomly start up one of their songs. Advertisement 'Boca, my good friend,' they chanted in Spanish. 'I don't care what anybody says. I follow you everywhere. And every time I love you more.' All of this continued through 90 scoreless minutes. In the 90th, Al Ahly fans were still bouncing. Entire sections of them were standing for no apparent reason — other than, in a word, soccer. They had braved pregame gridlock and paid $40 for parking. Some had planned vacations that might be among the most expensive they'll ever take. They made themselves, not Messi, the stars of the opener, and reminded us all why the Club World Cup will, at least to some extent, be a success. Advertisement Or, at least, if you can get past your cynicism, it'll be fun. Not every stadium will come alive, but Saturday's atmosphere, Inter Miami midfielder Telasco Segovia said, 'was spectacular.'
