Victor Osimhen is reportedly set to join Chelsea on a €350,000-per-week deal, moving a step closer to fulfilling his dream of playing in the Premier League.
This amount is €150,000 less than the €500,000 per week initially demanded by the Napoli striker, who had to compromise with the summer transfer window closing in the next 48 hours.
This development confirms earlier reports from Italy that the lengthy negotiations between Chelsea and Napoli were nearing completion, with Napoli said to have accepted Chelsea’s offer to sign the Nigerian forward.
Meanwhile, Al Ahli have intensified their efforts to sign Osimhen, with renowned Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reporting that the Saudi Pro League club’s management plans to travel to Italy to expedite the deal for the Napoli star.
Chelsea are determined to secure a new striker and are considering Osimhen, Jhon Duran, and Ivan Toney, who is also being monitored by Manchester United.
Napoli are eager to offload Osimhen and are open to all offers, seeking to finalize a transfer for the former Lille player.
Osimhen’s top summer suitors, PSG, have shifted their focus to other targets, a decision justified by their strong start to the season.
