The Chelsea-Victor Osimhen saga is still on after the deal collapsed back in the Summer. Across the whole transfer window from June to August the Nigerian was heavily linked with the Blues. But due to some minor disagreements the deal got delayed. And Osimhen failed complete the move before the deadline day.
Out of options, the 25-year-old had to join Turkish giants Galatasaray on a season long deal. Because he was forced to leave Napoli as they excluded him from their first-team squad. But to get at least some amount of money out of the Nigerian, the Italian side made an unique agreement with him.
Napoli extended the contract with Victor Osimhen until 2027, as the current contract was ending at the end of this season. In exchange they have allowed Victor Osimhen to join any of the 10 teams he has listed, in January. The list includes top European clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, PSG etc.
The club have even lowered his price tag significantly in order to help the striker to join his favorable side. And after this incident, the Blues are again back on track to go for the Nigerian.
Victor Osimhen responds to Chelsea move
However, after the game against Spurs in the UEL competition, Victor Osimhen has claimed a big statement. Which isn’t a good news for the Chelsea fans ahead of the Winter transfer window. While speaking to The Standard, the 25-year-old said that he is planning to stay at the Turkish side until the end of the season.
“I’m here as a Galatasaray player, I’m happy here. Since I came the Galatasaray fans, the club have treated me and my family in a wonderful manner. It’s important to be able to give them my all on the pitch.”
“I’ve seen a lot of the speculation linking me out of the club in January. But I can state through me now I’m going to be here until the end of the season.”
