Napoli Striker Victor Osimhen Nears Chelsea Move
Italian journalist Rudy Galetti has revealed that Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has reached an agreement on personal terms with Chelsea, signaling a potential transfer in the upcoming summer window.
Chelsea, in their quest for a clinical striker, have targeted Osimhen to strengthen their attacking lineup.
Galetti took to Twitter to announce that Chelsea is ready to trigger Osimhen’s release clause once the current season, 2023/24, concludes. The release clause is believed to range between €130 million, and negotiations are underway between Chelsea and Napoli regarding the payment structure.
Osimhen, who was Serie A’s top scorer last season, is reportedly enthusiastic about moving to the Premier League and has earmarked Chelsea as his preferred destination. This alignment in desires has facilitated smooth negotiations over personal terms.
The potential acquisition of Osimhen by Chelsea would significantly bolster their attacking options and add further firepower to the squad.
