Fabrizio Romano Provides Crucial Update on Victor Osimhen’s Potential Move to Chelsea
As the transfer window edges closer to its final days, Chelsea’s search for a clinical striker continues to intensify. The name at the top of their wish list? Napoli’s goal machine, Victor Osimhen.
Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has recently provided an update that could give Chelsea fans a glimmer of hope.
Chelsea’s opening match of the Premier League season, a tough defeat against Manchester City, highlighted a familiar issue for the Blues— the absence of a true number 9.
Fans and pundits alike have been vocal about the club’s need for a striker capable of converting opportunities into goals. Enter Victor Osimhen, a player whose prowess in front of goal has caught the attention of Europe’s elite.
According to Romano, Chelsea is still very much in the hunt for the Nigerian forward. Despite the limited time left in the transfer window, the club remains focused on trying to secure a deal.
Romano revealed that Chelsea sees Osimhen as a potential loan option, but the challenge lies in Napoli’s firm stance. The Italian club is reportedly only willing to entertain offers that include an obligation to buy.
“Chelsea are still pushing for Osimhen,” Romano stated, underscoring the club’s determination to strengthen their attack.
“As of today, Chelsea still see Victor Osimhen as a loan opportunity. As we know the player will only go with an obligation so let’s see if Chelsea can find a way and if other clubs jump in the race. Story remains open.”
For Chelsea, landing Osimhen could be the missing piece in their quest for silverware this season. The clock is ticking, and fans are anxiously awaiting the outcome as the transfer saga unfolds.
