Still a SSC Napoli player despite interest from PSG and Chelsea in particular, Victor Osimhen does not yet know which club he will represent this season. But the Blues should return to the charge, with a financial package that could convince the Italian club.
What if the Victor Osimhen case was not yet definitively buried? His departure from Naples seemed to be a done deal at the beginning of August, but since then, not much has happened. Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, the two main clubs interested in the Nigerian, had been put off by the demands of Napoli, who are demanding €130 million for their striker.
Two weeks later, the London club should return to the charge. According to the Italian daily Morningthe Blues are considering a financial package that would reduce the cost of the transfer, by including two of its players.
The source speaks of an exchange: Victor Osimhen for Romelu Lukaku, Cesare Casadei and €45 million more. A deal that could satisfy all parties involved.
Chelsea have been targeting Victor Osimhen for over a year now. Last winter, the former Lille player’s transfer seemed closer than ever before he finally extended his contract at Napoli.
If the Neapolitan striker were to join the Blues in the coming weeks, the London team could line up a very impressive attack. We can assume that the two number 10s Christopher Nkunku and Cole Palmer will play behind Victor Osimhen, with interesting options on the bench (Madueke, Mudryk, Sterling, Jackson…).
Enough to finally put Chelsea back on top of England?
