The £210,000-a-week star is thought to be ready to pack his bags and fly to England, putting Chelsea in a good position to sign him.
The club is considering strengthening several positions this summer. Chelsea are reported to be keen on signing a new
centre-back as one of their targets, whether to help manager Mauricio Pochettino or a potential new head coach for next season, with veteran
Thiago Silva being one of their targets. He is close to leaving the team at the end of his contract. It expires this summer.
Another key area of the squad that Chelsea are keen to strengthen is centre-forward.
The Blues currently lack an exciting striker who can score more than 25 goals a season.
Nicholas Jackson is lightning fast but still extremely brutal, forcing Pochettino to rely on
Cole Palmer for much of the threat for Chelsea’s third final of the 2023/24 season.
This led to reports that Chelsea were keen to add Victor Osimhen to their squad,
with the Nigerian player coming at a time when other top European teams are looking for a new world-class No.9.
Demand will increase. Osimhen has been a star player in Serie A for the past few seasons and was recently given a release clause of £113m as
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis looks to cash in maximum profit from a potential summer sale. He signed a new contract that included.
The 25-year-old, who currently earns a base salary of around £210,000-a-week
as part of his new contract, is reportedly keen to move from Italy to England’s top flight.
According to Calciomercato, translated by Sport Witness, Osimhen is in control and ready to sign for Chelsea, who are in pole position.
Osimhen is also attracting interest from PSG, who are considering making a serious investment in
the post-Mbappe era, but Pochettino’s team are the favorites in the current situation.
According to the report, the African player could be a star signing for Chelsea, but Chelsea will have to pay him his full termination fee.
