Chelsea Transfer News: Fabrizio Romano Provides Updates on Osimhen Deals
“Chelsea are not in talks to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli, despite previous interest,”
Fabrizio Romano revealed. “The main reason for this is the player’s high wage demands,
with Chelsea on a mission to trim the wage bill.” Osimhen is currently the highest-paid player at Napoli,
earning over £200,000 per week, and Chelsea are unwilling to match that figure.
“If Osimhen were to lower his wage demands, Chelsea would consider making a move for him,”
Romano added. However, Napoli is holding firm on their valuation of the player,
with a £59 million release clause in his contract. Paris Saint-Germain is also interested in Osimhen
and may be willing to meet Napoli’s valuation. Osimhen is waiting for a Premier League side to make an offer before considering a move to Saudi Arabia.
The situation is complex, but Chelsea’s reluctance to meet Osimhen’s wage demands has stalled any potential deal.
