Chelsea are interested in signing Victor Osimhen. The player is unwilling to move on loan but another reason has emerged on why the Blues are yet to make a move.
The Blues are unwilling to pay his £113 million release clause, while the Italians don't want less Chelsea have been in active negotiations with Napoli, exploring various options to sign Victor Osimhen , yet a deal has yet to materialise due to a reason on the Blues’ part.
Osimhen is expected to leave Napoli, and as the window draws to the end, his options have become limited, with Chelsea the only European club left in pursuit of the Nigerian.The biggest obstacle in the deal has been the £113 million release clause inserted into the contract he signed in 2023, a figure that has scared off most interested clubs., Paris Saint-Germain, which were in discussions early in the window, walked away after failing to reach an agreement with Napoli.
The proposals from Chelsea were a swap deal involving Osimhen and Romelu Lukaku, whom Napoli want, or a loan deal with an option to buy for the Super Eagles forward. Both offers were not appealing to the club and player, as both were unwilling to accept any deal without a mandatory clause because it could mean he would be back in Italy next summer.He claimed the club are at the beginning of their project with Nicolas Jackson as striker and that they would not like to stall his development after a positive first season.
