Latest news regarding Chelsea ahead of the final days of transfer window. This includes Osimhen transfer, swap deal and more.
A lot has happened at Chelsea in the past few months and a lot is going to happen in the next few days. As we say this now, the backroom staffs at Cobham are on a race against time inorder to find solutions for the various problems they have. Such as finding a place for their 13 men outcast team, Selling some high earners from the squad, sealing their long term targets and a swap deal in talks.
OSIMHEN TRANSFER
As reported yesterday Chelsea remain the favorites to land the Nigerian striker. The Blues and Napoli have been in talks in recent times for the transfer of Romelu Lukaku. So both clubs have a really good relationship between them. Not technically as a swap deal but Chelsea can capitalise on that and proceed talks for Osimhen.
As per the new rumours Suadi Arabian club Al Ahli SC are also in talks with Napoli and already made an official bid of 55 million pounds. Napoli have agreed to let Osimhen go and the agreement between clubs are really close. So that is the sort of money Napoli are expecting for their star striker now. Instead of the mammouth amount they were requesting earlier. Chelsea can pounce on this oppertunity and get the deal done if they choose to. But they have to beware of the fact that french giants Paris Saint-Germain already had an agreement with Osimhen for a transfer. In this circumstance of Goncalo Ramos being injured, the Parisians may show up again in this late stages.
FINDING NEW HOMES
Enzo Maresca has an enormous squad in his hands, but what’s more intriguing is the fact that they have a 13 member outcast squad training seperately. So in these final days of the transfer market Chelsea are in a rush to find new homes for them. Some of them are on huge sallaries such as Raheem Sterling, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Ben Chilwell and Romelu Lukaku.
It was earlier confimed that Lukaku is on his way to Napoli and confirmed by reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano. It was also confirmed yesterday that Kepa is on his way to Bournemouth on loan.
Lukaku one is a permanent one and they might capitalize on it for Osimhen transfer. But the Kepa transfer is kind of weeding, like removing unwanted plants from your field. But it is not permanent they keep growing. Likewise Kepa is going to return back from loan next season and it’s back to square one again. Trevoh Chalobah is another one whome Chelsea are trying to get rid off their charts. He has got multiple suitors around him in PL but all of them consider him as their second choice. Anyways when Marc Guehi makes his move subsquently Chalobah’s future will also be decided.
In case of Chilwell, Man Utd are yet make an official approach for the full back. In addition to that there are rumours that Chelsea and Man Utd are in talks for a swap deal between Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho. Anyway it’s race against time for Chelsea and their transfer tacticians. It’s also certain that many new names will be linked with Chelsea transfer news in the final days.
SWAP DEAL AND OSIMHEN ALTERNATIVE
Let’s begin with the Chelsea, Man Utd swap deal news for now. Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho are two players who are out of favour at their current clubs. Maresca has banished Sterling from the first team citing the fact that he is not the type of winger he wants. Chelsea in an attempt to force him out, have stripped him off his jersey number 7 handing it out to new signing Pedro Neto. This also seems like an act of weeding out players.
According to GOAL.com, Chelsea are hoping to make a late swoop for Brentford striker Ivan Toney. But accoridng to the reports the striker also has offers from Saudi Arabia.
