According to sources in Italy, Chelsea is thinking about permanently signing Napoli attacker Victor Osimhen. Chelsea’s need for a striker is well known, and they believed they had found one in Samu Omorodion. However, on Sunday night, the deal fell through because there was a significant issue with completing the contract.
The Blues are now prepared to talk about the prospect of trading the strikers for a big financial addition to pay the remaining amount, according to Sky Sport Italia this evening. It follows the suggestion made by Calciomercato.com that the Premier League team might take that into account.
After reports that Chelsea’s technical staff gave the go-ahead to begin negotiations, the situation swiftly got out of hand. The striker has dismissed previous rumours of a potential loan agreement and stated that he is only interested in a permanent move to Chelsea. This fits with the Blues’ increased desire to secure Osimhen as a long-term asset.
Osimhen and Lukaku waiting all summer
Romelu Lukaku is a primary priority for Antonio Conte, and sources have told TEAMtalk that Chelsea may offer the gifted Nigerian international cash in addition to the contract. The Blues intend to let Osimhen replace Lukaku on the pay bill, according to TEAMtalk, which has been in communication with the striker’s representatives.
The 31-year-old Lukaku makes an incredible £325,000 a week, and Chelsea is prepared to match Osimhen’s wage to get him to Stamford Bridge. Enzo Maresca has told club management that he is eager to see the Napoli star arrive, and for several months now, he has been their top striker target.
