BREAKING: Chelsea ready to submit NEW lucrative Victor Osimhen offer – Romano
Chelsea is prepared to submit a late bid for the Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen because they are REFUSING to let up on their pursuit of him.
Chelsea’s attempts to add a striker this summer have been repeatedly rejected after they acquired Marc Guiu from Barcelona. They have failed several times to acquire Victor Osimhen, and their attempt to acquire Samu Omorodion was unsuccessful.
The Saudi Pro League team Al-Ahli appeared to be closing in on acquiring the Nigerian striker, Osimhen, despite the fact that the Blues had been after the player for some time and were prepared to put a release clause in his contract.
But Fabrizio Romano is now reporting on X that Chelsea have not given up on Osimhen and are talking to the striker about salary, while Al-Ahli already have their offer of €25m/30m net salary on the table.
Chelsea would like to sign Osimhen on loan with an obligation to buy clause in the contract, reports Romano.

Osimhen’s goal record is superb. He’s been tearing up Serie A for Napoli, winning the title in 2022/23 and finishing that season as Capocannoniere (top scorer) with 26 goals. All in all he has 76 goals in 133 games for Napoli.
Sancho To Chelsea?
In addition to Osimhen, Chelsea (and Juventus) are still pushing to sign Manchester United forward Jadon Sancho. While Juventus are keen to sign Sancho, there is a growing feeling from them that the player wants to go to Chelsea.
One source has indicated Chelsea prefer to sign him permanently – though all options are being explored. Juventus are only prepared to do a loan.
