Ogasabi on 9am news reveals that Victor Osimhen potential move to Chelsea this summer is still on the table. According to football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, direct talks between Chelsea and Osimhen’s camp are set to “continue on Wednesday,” after weeks of intense negotiations and disagreements over the player’s wage demands. The transfer has hit a snag due to Osimhen’s request for a staggering £500,000 weekly salary, which has slowed down the process.
Chelsea has had its sights on Victor Osimhen throughout the summer, and as the transfer window approaches its final days, the negotiations are expected to intensify. The Nigerian striker remains a top priority for Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, who is keen to bolster his attacking options with Osimhen at the forefront of his list.
However, Chelsea faces competition, as the Italian club Napoli is prepared to part ways with Osimhen, aiming to bring in Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea this summer. Romano also mentioned that Al Ahli’s proposal for Victor Osimhen is still in play and could be activated if Chelsea and the striker fail to reach an agreement. In a separate development, Chelsea is reportedly eyeing Jadon Sancho as a potential addition, especially if Manchester United shows interest in Raheem Sterling.
