Chelsea are on the brink of securing a blockbuster deal for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. According to journalist Miguel Delaney, negotiations between the two clubs have progressed significantly, with a breakthrough imminent.
While Osimhen possesses a €130 million release clause, Chelsea are exploring a more complex deal involving Romelu Lukaku. The Blues are keen to offload the Belgian forward, and Napoli have shown interest in acquiring him.
The Nigerian international, the reigning African Footballer of the Year, has expressed a desire for a substantial wage increase. Despite Chelsea’s recent wage structure, the club is prepared to make an exception for the prolific striker.
If successful, the move would represent a major coup for Chelsea as they aim to bolster their attacking options under manager Enzo Maresca.
