“No discussion between Chelsea and Osimhen” — Fabrizio Romano

Reports emerge as Chelsea Football Club keeps a watchful eye on Napoli’s Victor Osimhen amidst swirling speculation. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that negotiations between Chelsea and Serie A champions Napoli for the Nigerian striker haven’t taken flight.

Sources suggest Osimhen is poised to ink a fresh deal with Napoli, one that reportedly includes a substantial release clause of approximately €130 million.

Despite this impending contract extension, the Blues remain keen on acquiring the 24-year-old forward, identified as an experienced target man to bolster their squad.

In his recent Daily Briefing, Romano shed light on Chelsea’s interest in Osimhen, stating,

“Osimhen is on the list of players wanted by Chelsea, but there is still no decision made or any advanced negotiation with the forward or any other player.”

Osimhen’s current form boasts an impressive seven goals across 12 league appearances for Napoli this season, further solidifying his appeal as a sought-after asset in the transfer market.
