The Victor Osimhen to Chelsea transfer saga is one that many Chelsea fans will be pleased to have seen the back of, even if they were disappointed not to land the striker on transfer deadline day last Friday.
Whatever happened, Chelsea seemingly worked all summer to try and bring Osimhen but played the risky game of waiting until the final day and final moments of the window to try and agree the whole deal. The game backfired and Chelsea lost out on their man.

Osimhen of course has now gone to play for Galatasaray on loan for the rest of this season in a weird move, but it doesn’t look like he is going to or wants to stay there for the whole season.
Osimhen has break clause
Chelsea fans who were pleased to see the back of this transfer saga will be annoyed to hear that it is not over yet and will continue up to January now.
This is because the striker has a break clause in his loan deal and can make a permanent move away from Napoli in January.
As cited by The Evening Standard today, Turkish outlet A Spor report that Victor Osimhen’s January break clause can only be triggered in by 10 clubs.
Turkish reporter Kagan Dursun claims the number of clubs is eight, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Bayern Munich all included.
So Chelsea fans might have to stay strapped in, because you just know that we are about to get the rumours and stories of Chelsea getting ready to go back in for Osimhen this winter!
