As above, Fabrizio Romano says:
‘The agreement between Napoli and Al Ahli for package in excess of €65m is almost done, pending small details. But NO agreement with Osimhen so far as Nigerian striker wants an important salary + KEY DETAIL: release clause to be included.’
Osimhen prefers Europe
According to Sky Sports, Osimhen prefers a move to a European club!
So there is still hope for Chelsea.
Revived talks
According to The Telegraph, Chelsea have revived talks over a loan deal to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. It is understood that the terms now being offered to Chelsea that are far more favourable – although there potentially remains a major stumbling block over the salary.
So that sounds a bit more hopeful for Chelsea’s chances of signing Osimhen. But this one feels like it’s going to go to deadline day with drama and some potential twists and turns to happen still.
Chelsea will have to agree to paying Osimhen’s salary, which we know to be very high. So I’m really not sure whether they will. Some big decisions to make here.
It will be a good signing but the salary is too much high . It better be someone who has a passion to play for Chelsea FC not asking too much salary . If chiesa still available I rather have him . His versatile player and skillful . He can play upfront . He can hold up the ball and link up . His movements are good . And still young . He has pace too . Hope Chelsea FC will get him .
We need exerctly no.9 typical one ,not those things of he can even play there no we need osimhen if we are to shine survival for the fittest this is Premier begin crying like Arsenal u will take years and years when ure average like those of Aston villa money makes money bring him
Guys let’s not look at salary as an issue ,money makes money we have tried those things for the past years and we have failed we need atypical striker No. 9 not like so and so can try thar number ever since Diego coaster we have never solved that issue let’s do it once for all and we terrorise team, just look at haaland did man-city pay small it was huge but the guy has paid it, let’s go osimhen
We for a big typical No.9 period there’s nothing like salary money makes money haaland has paid back if there’s a chance for loan pay him his salary
Osime is not chelsea problem for now is better to sine someone better than him .course is salary is to much
Actually Blue fans I really like onishen to be a Chelsea player….. But man the salary demand is too high….. Please onishen take a good look at Cole Palmer he played well last season and now Chelsea have increase his earning … And Chelsea will same for you
Victor is all we need here in Chelsea team but the money is tomuch he wants Chelsea and Chelsea needs him so let’s the two party negotiate for the salary anything from 400,00 is ok for him I wish he’s here to help the team
Chelsea walked away weeks ago , Chelsea were never going to pay his 113m quid release clause or pay his outrageous 1/2m quid a week wages to join Chelsea ,
Osimhen will be the BEST BUY of d year for Chelsea and a guaranteed opportunity for top 4 finish if they can successfully land him. I believe they can both resolve to a reasonable weekly wages since Lukaku & Sterling wage bill is out apparently out of d way now. However, We do not need A Jadon Sancho in that team bcos we’ve got Neto & Mudrich.
