Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has mentioned the name Victor Osimhen alongside Chelsea again and perhaps given some hope to some Blues fans that it could still happen.
However, the reality is of course very different, but never say never.
Sources: Chelsea working on deal for new winger behind the scenes – name revealed!
Romano also speaks about another striker to Chelsea this summer which appears to be much more realistic than Osimhen to Chelsea.
Romano was speaking last night via his latest YouTube video (further below), and then via his latest Podcast, ‘Here We Go’.
Romano says that Chelsea still like Osimhen but at the moment they will not pay his current release clause. So if anything is to happen here then the overall financial package will seemingly need to drop.
Samu Omorodion seems much more likely
Chelsea fans are probably more likely to be welcoming Atletico Madrid’s young striker Samu Omorodion this summer rather than a marquee name like Osimhen.
It looks like something might still be able to be done here if Chelsea really want Omorodion, and really want to sell Conor Gallagher.
Romano says: “Chelsea are still looking in the market for potential strikers. Winger and striker – these two positions Chelsea want to cover.
“Samu Omorodion is still appreciated but no green light from Atlético. Chelsea could be there if stance changes.”
And you wonder if that stance will change if Atletico decide to really push to try and sign Gallagher from Chelsea?
Romano continues: “Atlético Madrid have big, big appreciation for Conor Gallagher, he’s a dream target for them. Not easy or cheap! On the list since May.”
Robert de janisah is my name i don’t advice my team chelsea to go for omorodion but go for striker like victor oshmen,ivan toney ,olli watkis and julian alvares
I advice my team coach to go for strikers oshmen,watkis.toney.and alvares not omorodion and he should go to market to purces defenders to build the team again and petrovi to bench sanchez if to seal sanchez.
Please I advise my team Chelsea to go for sharp attacker for the links of victor oshimen, Alvarez, Tonny that they can able to make an impact to the club
It pleasure the blues fan so i therefor advice my manager not to go for omorodion but rather go for strikers like oshmen,toney,watkis and alvares and i advice them the sanchez not petrovic and also siging in two defender in position 5 and 4
YES WE NEED A STRIKER, AND SHOULD SELL THE LIKES OF BADIASHELE,STERLING ,ALIZABALGA,AND KEEP CHALOBAR
Elite striker like Osimhen should be a priority because the board should know that, Chelsea doesn’t have a coach.
