Chelsea is on the brink of clinching a significant deal for Victor Osimhen, the star striker from Napoli, despite their struggles in the Premier League.
Recent reports suggest that Osimhen is inclined to move to the Premier League this summer, with Chelsea emerging as his preferred destination over Paris Saint-Germain.
Despite Chelsea’s current position in the league standings, Osimhen remains attracted to the club, influenced by the legendary Didier Drogba.
The departure of Osimhen from Napoli appears increasingly likely, given the existence of his release clause, valued at €120-130 million.
Chelsea, keen to reinforce their attacking lineup, has identified Osimhen as their primary target for the upcoming transfer window.
The inconsistent performances of their existing forwards, such as Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, and Nicolas Jackson, have amplified Chelsea’s pursuit of the Nigerian forward.
Recent remarks by Matteo Moretto have added fuel to the speculation surrounding Osimhen’s potential move to Chelsea.
Moretto indicated that Osimhen is committed to joining the Premier League, despite PSG’s interest in him as a replacement for Kylian Mbappe.
Osimhen’s impressive displays in Serie A and the Champions League have further bolstered Chelsea’s interest in him, although Arsenal is also in contention but pursuing other targets.
