Victor Osimhen’s potential move to Chelsea gains momentum despite contract talks at Napoli
Fabrizio Romano, a well-known journalist, has hinted that Napoli’s ideal striker, Victor Osimhen, could wear the blue of Chelsea in 2024.
Despite recent reports suggesting a contract extension for Napoli’s £113,000-per-week Nigerian goal machine, Romano remains hopeful about Chelsea’s chances.
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has been open about his desire to improve the squad’s elevation leadership skills, and, most importantly, recruit a prolific striker.
Osimhen, famed for his devastating goal-scoring ability, emerged as a top Blues target. While a January transfer appears doubtful, Romano believes a 2024 transfer is a distinct possibility.
Pochettino, who has been pressing for strategic signings, could see Osimhen’s arrival as a game changer. Chelsea’s worries in both offense and defense may be eased by the striker’s proven track record.
Although Chelsea fans will have to wait, the idea of Osimhen joining the team is exciting for the club’s future. Chelsea fans felt encouraged by Romano’s revelation, which implied that the wait might be worthwhile for a player of Osimhen’s caliber.
