What occurred?

According to Fabrizio Romano (via Chelsea News), Chelsea is strongly advocating for a loan agreement with Napoli for Osimhen in order to strengthen their team with a proficient striker, specifically a number 9. The Nigerian striker had previously expressed his desire to depart from the Serie A club during the current summer transfer window.

 

The broader perspective

According to The Standard, Napoli will try to prevent their star forward from leaving during the current transfer window. In a recent interview with Sky Sports Italia, sporting director Giovanni Manna emphasised the significance of Victor as a player, highlighting his high worth and exceptional abilities. His intention is evident. Currently, we made efforts to preserve the cohesion and reliability of the team. We are not the sole club facing this predicament, and we will observe the developments in the upcoming 10 days. Currently, it is inappropriate to make any assertions regarding the existing sensations. We are collaborating with his entourage to determine the optimal option. As previously mentioned, he holds significant importance as a player, making it difficult to locate a suitable replacement. Given that he is now bound by a contract for the next two seasons, it is evident that if we do not reach a resolution by August 30, we will need to engage in a discussion with the player.

According to the source, Paris Saint-Germain has withdrawn from the competition to sign the Nigerian player, which gives a significant advantage to the Blues in their attempt to get him.

Were you aware?

Amidst the continuous pursuit of the Osimhen move, the West London team is also engaged in discussions with Napoli to sell Romelu Lukaku, a player who has been deemed a failure, for a cost of £100 million (€116m/$127m) during the current summer transfer window. The Lukaku deal, however, will be handled as a distinct matter from Osimhen’s.

What are the future plans for Chelsea?

Enzo Maresca’s team suffered a defeat against Manchester City in their Premier League debut on Sunday due to a lack of an efficient striker. They will now compete against Servette in the opening leg of the Europa Conference League play-offs.
