- Chelsea are extremely keen to sign Victor Osimhen
- The latest news suggest that their path to sign the striker is now clear
- Napoli now prepared to sell the striker for a discounted price
Chelsea were very keen to sign Osimhen this summer. But the deal failed and the player joined Galatasaray on loan. Osimhen has proved his worth in Turkey as he has 8 goals and picked 3 assists in just 9 games this season.
Napoli want to sell him permanently next year. They can also agree to part ways with him in January itself. Despite the move failing in summer, Chelsea are still keen to sign the Nigerian. Infact, they are front runners in the race.
Along with Chelsea some other clubs are interested to sign Osimhen too. But one of that club is finding it hard to sign the striker which may come as a boost for Chelsea. In addition, Napoli have lowered their demanded price which will result in double boost for the Blues.
Chelsea get major boost in the pursuit of Victor Osimhen
Galatasaray were keen to sign Osimhen permanently next year. But now, Sky Germany reported Florian Plettenberg has tweeted that Galatasaray are now aware that it will be difficult for them to keep Osimhen for the next season.
Plettenberg added that the Turkish club is doing all in their power to make the deal happen. But, one can imagine that this may not be possible. This news will come as a major boost for Chelsea as it means that they will now have less competition.
The second boost for the Blues is that Napoli have now agreed to part ways with Osimhen for €75 million next year. Chelsea could surely manage to pay that amount and upgrade their attack. But, they may have to wait until summer as Osimhen has already cleared that he will stay at Galatasaray until the end of season.
