According to Italian publication Il Matino, Victor Osimhen is currently declining to sign a new contract with Napoli due to an offer he has received from Chelsea. This development raises questions about the ongoing situation between Osimhen and the London club. Let’s delve into the latest updates regarding Victor Osimhen and his potential move to Chelsea.

Is reportedly in inclination to let his current contract expire in 2025 rather than sign a new one. This stance is in aim at preventing Napoli from exerting excessive control over his future career choices. This development further fuels Chelsea’s hopes of securing Osimhen’s services during the upcoming transfer window.


Firstly,According to Il Matino, Victor Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda, has engaged in discussions with Napoli owner Aurelio de Laurentiis regarding the striker’s situation. Along with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), have presented offers to secure Osimhen’s services.

Who currently earns £93,000 per week.

Chelsea and their future


According to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport, it appears that Chelsea’s pursuit of striking reinforcements goes beyond just Victor Osimhen. The story suggests that Chelsea has submitted a bid for Juventus’ No. 9, Dusan Vlahovic, following a meeting between the clubs in London. The deal is to include Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Trevor Chalobah, and Christian Pulisic as part of the package. With Juventus showing interest in acquiring all three players.


Moreover, considering the likelihood of Chelsea making substantial investments in two top-quality strikers this summer. It seems improbable. With 90min state that Victor Osimhen is Mauricio Pochettino’s top priority. It can be in speculation that Dusan Vlahovic is being considered as a backup option.

Regardless, it would come as a significant surprise if Chelsea were unable to secure the signing of a new striker during the transfer window. This is particularly true given Romelu Lukaku’s desire to leave Stamford Bridge permanently.
