Italian journalist Rudy Galetti has reported that Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has agreed to personal terms with Chelsea, signaling a potential move to the London club in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Blues, in search of a clinical striker, aim to activate Osimhen’s release clause, estimated to be around €130 million, once the current season concludes.
Negotiations between Chelsea and Napoli are underway regarding the payment structure. Osimhen, Serie A’s top scorer last season, is reportedly keen on a move to the Premiership, with Chelsea being his preferred destination.
Galetti emphasized that securing an agreement with the player is not an issue, as Osimhen is eager to join Chelsea.
With Chelsea facing scoring challenges this season, Osimhen’s impressive goal-scoring record, including 13 goals across all competitions this season, presents an enticing prospect for the London club, potentially providing a long-term solution to their attacking woes.
