In the latest news, Spain grabs the Olympic gold but Samu Omorodion misses out on the final match against France as he prepares for medical.
We can say the international season has now closed down and in one of the most dramatic ways. Spain was up against France for the 2024 Paris Olympics Gold medal match. The Spanish side did overcome the French challenge but the match was nothing short of incredible. France made an amazing comeback only to lose in the extra time.
France scored an early goal because of a somewhat goalkeeper error taking the lead. Then, Spain would go on to score three back-to-back goals within 10 minutes keeping the lead at half time. This would almost secure the game for them before the hosts make a comeback in the last 10 minutes. They got their hands on a penalty thanks to the VAR call leveling the score to send the game to extra time. Regardless Spain was ready and completed their victory by scoring in extra time. This summer season was completed for them with the European and Olympic Championships. The final score was 5-3 as Spain clinched the Olympic Gold for the second time in history after 1992.

Nevertheless, Chelsea’s upcoming signing target Samu Omorodion wasn’t seen on the pitch in the finals. We can assume that it was probably because of his upcoming transfer but he can surely compare his gold with Cucurella once he arrives at Stamford Bridge. He only started one match in the tournament in which he scored too. Fermín López of Barcelona helped Spain with six goals in the tournament.
Omorodion medical scheduled
Chelsea is all set to sign Omorodion at a reported fee of 34.5m. The deal between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid is all but done as per reports. For this, the side has already scheduled a medical according to the reports. As per Italian journalist, Fabrizio Romano they are scheduling a medical ahead of the deal before finalizing it.
The Blues added Nicolas Jackson last summer but are still keen to have another center forward in the squad. We can say that Jackson had a rather disappointing campaign with the Blues. So getting a little competition in the attack this time makes sense. Hence the move to bring Omorodion makes sense given he is being described as ‘outstanding’ for Chelsea.

Chelsea struggled to get success last season which was expected from them. This season under the new vision and leadership of Enzo Maresca the fans are hoping for a new era. The fans will be hoping for the new manager to take the team in the right direction. Todd Boehly is also in full support of the boss and the latest news of Samu Omorodion arriving is promising.
Nicolas Jackson not happy?
Omorodion coming from Atletico Madrid looks all but done.
Regardless, this news is triggering Jackson according to reports who is not happy. The Englishman can leave the Stamford Bridge this summer.
With Chelsea in the market looking for strikers and the deal of Omorodion likely done, it is troubling for Jackson. Further, Marc Guiu has already joined the side this summer.
Further, the Blues are also being linked to Napoli striker Victor Osimhen which further worsens the situation this summer.
