As we head into the final few days of the summer transfer window this week, let’s round up all the latest news on Victor Osimhen to Chelsea.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea player offered to Nottingham Forest, Sterling ready to drop wages, New ST & CB push, Plus loads more – Plans for last days of the window: plenty of names in here 👀

Deal agreed

Saudi almost agree fee for Osimhen.

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

Osimhen at The Bridge this season?

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.
