Victor Osimhen is set to join Chelsea on a lucrative €350,000 weekly salary, marking a significant step towards his long-awaited Premier League move.
After weeks of negotiations, Chelsea and Napoli have reportedly reached an agreement for the transfer of the Nigerian striker. While Osimhen initially sought a higher salary, he has ultimately accepted the London club’s offer, driven by the desire to play in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Al Ahli has shown keen interest in signing Osimhen, with reports suggesting that the Saudi Pro League club is prepared to make a significant offer to secure his services.
Chelsea’s pursuit of Osimhen comes amid their efforts to strengthen their attacking options. The club is also considering other strikers, including Jhon Duran and Ivan Toney, who has attracted interest from Manchester United.
Napoli, on the other hand, are eager to sell Osimhen and have been open to exploring various options. While PSG was initially a frontrunner, their focus has shifted to other targets due to their strong start to the season.
Osimhen’s move to Chelsea would be a major coup for the Premier League club, adding a talented and prolific striker to their ranks. The Nigerian international has established himself as one of the most sought-after players in Europe and his arrival at Stamford Bridge would undoubtedly generate significant excitement among Chelsea fans.
