Superstar wants €11million-a-year join Chelsea as Brilliant 25-goal attacker signs up with Chelsea on massive deal until summer of 2033
In an interview, reputable Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano stated, “whom’s on Chelsea; to finalize the signing of Napoli star Victor Osimhen, a player whom the Blues have coveted for the last couple of transfer windows,
Osimhen is a player that CHELSEA has been interested in signing for a few seasons. He has submitted a transfer request to force a move from Napoli, and he is determined to leave the club this summer.
Romano has spoken up and stated that it is up to the Blues to finalize a deal for the huge Nigerian talent. According to reports, Chelsea and PSG are the two teams pursuing to sign the player.
“Osimhen is a possibility that Napoli presented to Chelsea after they already thought of Osimhen at the beginning of the window … they left the conversation because the package was too expensive,” Romano said.
“But then Napoli presented this opportunity again to Chelsea during talks for Romelu Lukaku. But as I always mentioned, from what I’m hearing, Osimhen doesn’t want to reduce his salary, €11million net per season, and Osimhen doesn’t want to go on loan. This is the idea of the player – only a permanent transfer or loan with obligation. So kind of permanent transfer
“At the moment, CHELSEA are not offering these conditions. So the only way to see Osimhen to Chelsea is to obviously sign the player on a permanent transfer or try to change his mind. So it’s on Chelsea. But at the moment, I can guarantee that nothing is changing on Osimhen’s story.
“I don’t think it’s going to change today, tomorrow. Now the full focus is on the Joao Felix/Gallagher saga, also with Osimhen to find a new solution. And then we will see what happens with Osimhen.
‘But I always had a feeling that this is something for the final weeks or days of the window.”
COLE PALMER SIGNS UP –
Chelsea have agreed to sign up brilliant midfielder Cole Palmer to a new and improved contract – which will see the star linked to the club until at least the summer of 2033.
The Blues paid £42.5million to Manchester City for him last summer and he repaid that faith with a staggering 25 goals in his first season at the club – which also earned him his first call-up to the England National side.
The winger penned a seven-year contract upon arrival at Stamford Bridge, which includes the option of a further 12 months, on £80,000-a-week.
That put the 22-year-old in the lower end of wage scale within the Chelsea squad while it is only just over a quarter of what Raheem Sterling pockets in West London.
Now the Sky Sports website have claimed that the West Londoners “were mindful of this and reqarded Palmer with incremental wage rises to better reflect his importance and performances”
It is claimed that CHELSEA wanted to make sure that Palmer is one of the highest paid players at the club to warn off interest from clubs that have also been impressed by his performances last season.
