According to Italian publication Il Mattino, Chelsea is apparently ready to put Napoli’s commitment to star striker Victor Osimhen to the test with a £77 million deal.
The 25-year-old Nigerian has been an important member of Napoli’s team, leading them to their first Serie A championship in more than 30 years the previous year. Osimhen is still a highly sought-after forward despite a modest decline in performance this campaign; his speed, power, and finishing are drawing attention from all around Europe.
Important Points:
For the upcoming season, Chelsea manager is reportedly eager to expand his offensive alternatives.
Osimhen signed a £112 million release clause in December 2023, yet his reported valuation of £77 million is far less.
If Osimhen indicates that he wants to leave, Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis might be amenable to a deal.
Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, two Premier League rivals, may compete with Osimhen for his signature.
Will Osimhen be the solution to Chelsea’s inability to score goals?
This season, Chelsea has had difficulty being consistent in front of goal. Osimhen’s possible presence would provide their attack a center of gravity and give their offensive menace a fresh perspective. Still up for debate, though, are whether Osimhen’s £77 million price tag is worth it and how soon he can adjust to Premier League play.
