Victor Osimhen continues to be in the news in the context of Chelsea transfers. The forward, currently on loan from Napoli to Galatasaray, was reportedly joining Stamford Bridge at the end of the summer window. However, despite Blues’ late push, the deal didn’t materialize. And the striker opted for a season long loan from Naples to Turkey instead.
Summer Move By Chelsea For Osimhen
The Blues are reported to have made a last gasp move for Victor before the transfer window shut. The Blues saw the Nigerian frontman as a key signing for his attack line. However, the move could not be worked out. Terms could not be agreed on with Napoli. And Chelsea was unable to seal the transfer, leaving the frontman to await a new chance elsewhere.
Role Of Galatasaray In Osimhen Saga
With the Turkish transfer window still open, Galatasaray responded instantly, bringing in Osimhen on a season long loan. This has given Osimhen another chance at restarting his career following his layoff in Napoli. The ambitious approach of Galatasaray managed to bring on a striker that already proves his quality in European football.
The Break Clause for Osimhen
Reports claim Victor’s deal with Galatasaray comes with a break clause. This means clubs can retain the services of the Nigerian forward for a reported £63m release fee when the window reopens in January. All this has sparked talk about Chelsea re-engaging once again.
Second Ray Of Hope For Chelsea
Chelsea clearly needs an out and out top level striker. Despite the rebuild this summer, it has been tough to find someone who can score consistently, under the new management. Osimhen’s record is such that it deserves a January push. But recent news might indicate other priorities for the goal scorer initially.
Why Osimhen Is Committed To Galatasaray For The Season
Sky Sports Germany’s Florian reported that Osimhen is not leaving his current club mid season. The player was said to have had talks about a possible permanent stay at the Turkish club. For this reason, the player seems open to his journey with Galatasaray and leaving is less likely during January.
What Is The Next Move For Chelsea
The Blues are still very keen on rekindling their interest in Victor Osimhen when the January transfer window opens. The Blues have kept an eye on him since they failed to sign him in the summer. Now, they are looking for ways to strengthen their attack further, and Osimhen is one of those. His deal’s exit clause will give Chelsea a potential opportunity to negotiate with him. But it all will depend on whether Osimhen wants to leave Galatasaray.
Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian recently confirmed that talks regarding a permanent move to Galatasaray have occurred. And this has further belted down Blues’ hopes. Victor has even hinted that he might opt for a long stay in Turkey. So the world waits to see if he might jump ship anytime soon. Still, the Blues is likely to keep its efforts go strong. Since it still needs to get one huge goal scorer to make its team stronger. The one waiting is the Blues, with the January window around the corner, they are carefully looking at their options against Victor’s situation.
Conclusion
Victor’s future still hangs in the balance, but he seems to have been well stabilized at Galatasaray. Blues’ alleged interest will not come into play without the circumstances of the season in January. So far, he looks pretty stable in Turkey. But the transfer drama is far from resolved, and room for speculation remains ahead of the next transfer window.
But for now, it will be interesting to know the opinion of the fans. Opinions about what they expect from Chelsea and whom they want to see leading the Blues’ attack.
