Victor Osimhen has reportedly agreed to join Chelsea on a €350,000 weekly wage, bringing him significantly closer to his Premier League dream. This amount falls €150,000 short of his initial demand of €500,000 per week. With the summer transfer window closing in 48 hours, Osimhen had to settle for this lower sum.
This development confirms earlier Italian reports suggesting that the lengthy transfer negotiations between Chelsea and Napoli are nearing resolution, with Napoli seemingly accepting Chelsea’s offer for the Nigerian striker.
On Thursday, Al Ahli intensified their pursuit of Osimhen, with Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealing that the Saudi Pro League club’s management plans to travel to Italy to facilitate the transfer.
Chelsea are expected to bring in a new striker, with options including Osimhen, Jhon Duran, and Ivan Toney, who is also being monitored by Manchester United. Napoli is eager to offload Osimhen and is open to various solutions, focusing solely on finding a buyer.
PSG, Osimhen’s primary suitor this summer, has shifted its focus to other options following a strong start to their season.
