Chelsea tried very hard to sign Victor Osimhen this summer. They were expected to make a late move on the deadline day. But the Blues were unable to agree with Napoli on the transfer fee. Plus, they were not ready to pay the demanded wages by Osimhen.
Chelsea had fierce competitors who were willing to sign the Nigerian striker. One of those were their London rivals Arsenal. But Gunners were not the heavily linked club with Osimhen on the deadline day.
Chelsea got a heavy competition from Paris Saint-Germain for Osimhen. But PSG never made any bid for Osimhen despite showing interest in him throughout the summer.
As a result, no club was able to sign Osimhen who then stayed in Italy. But Osimhen was not included in Napoli’s plans and was unlikely to play for them. This situation, resulted in him joining Turkish side Galatasaray on loan.
Chelsea receive boost to sign Osimhen in the next transfer window
Luis Campos who is transfer chief of PSG, recently opened up to Thinking Football Summit about the Osimhen saga. He said that they did not submit a bid for Osimhen this summer. Campos said they viewed Osimhen as a option but are happy with Goncalo Ramos, Kolo Mauni and Marco Asensio right now.
This could point in a direction that PSG will not make move for Osimhen anytime soon. But it is never certain in the transfer market. As of now, Chelsea fans can view this info as a boost to sign Osimhen in the next transfer window.
The Premier League giants can trigger the break clause in the current contract of Osimhen. It will end the loan move earlier and Galatasaray will receive compensation. Chelsea could be seen thinking about it as an option. At the moment, they have the highest chance to land Osimhen in January.
