According to Chelsea News, the wait is finally over as Premier League club Chelsea have made an official bid to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli. The Blues are trying to complete the deal before the transfer window closes on Friday. Negotiations between the player and the club are still left. However, Chelsea have finally shown interest in the striker after speculations all summer. It was reported earlier that Chelsea are not ready to meet Victor Osimhen’s demand for high wages. However, the Blues are now ready to negotiate with Victor Osimhen’s agent regarding a possible move to Stamford Bridge.
Victor Osimhen’s transfer saga has taken a wild turn before the transfer window closes. Napoli wanted to sign Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea and offered a swap deal with Victor Osimhen. However, the Blues turned down the offer and wanted to complete this move in two separate deals. Now Napoli have managed to sign Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea. However, the Blues cannot finalize a deal for the Nigerian striker due to high financial demands from the club and the player. Chelsea are exploring the option to sign Victor Osimhen on a loan deal. However, the negotiations broke down after Victor Osimhen wanted to become the highest-earning player in the Premier League.
Chelsea are exploring all the possible options
Victor Osimhen also got offers from Saudi League club, Al-Ahli, if the move to Stamford Bridge collapsed. Al-Ahli are ready to meet the financial demands of the Nigerian striker. However, Victor Osimhen has turned down any offer from the Saudi League. Chelsea have already sent their offer to Victor Osimhen’s camp. However, if this transfer collapses, the Blues have another option from a Premier League rival club. Chelsea are exploring the option to sign Premier League striker Ivan Toney from Brentford.
This week will decide the future of Victor Osimhen and Chelsea’s striker situation. Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, seems to still prefer Nicolas Jackson as the main striker for the upcoming season. The youngster has great potential, however, cannot finish the chances. Enzo Maresca still has no idea about integrating Victor Osimhen into this large Chelsea squad. Victor Osimhen is still a world-class player who helped Napoli win their first Serie A title after a long time. The Nigerian striker was the top scorer in Napoli’s title-winning season. However, Victor Osimhen wanted to leave the club after Napoli made an offensive post on social media about the player.
Ideal Chelsea attack for next season
Chelsea’s attack is already stacked for the next season. The Blues have plenty of players to take up the goalscoring role. It is a tough job for Enzo Maresca to figure out the best attacking combination for the Blues. Cole Palmer looks like an undisputed starter for Chelsea. The English youngster was the top scorer for the Blues last season. Palmer stepped up on numerous occasions for Chelsea including the iconic comeback against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. Nicolas Jackson is currently the best option for the strike position. The youngster has the pace and the work ethic suitable for the man upfront.
Mykhailo Mudryk and new signing Pedro Neto are two options for the left side. Mudryk still has a lot of room to grow. Neto put up decent performances in the chances given in a Chelsea shirt. Chelsea have also decided to give the number seven jersey to Pedro Neto. Noni Madueke shocked the world after scoring a hat trick against the Wolves. The winger deserves more game time after this great performance. Christopher Nkunku is also a great option after the French forward’s preseason performance for Chelsea. Joao Felix is also back at Chelsea and fans have welcomed the youngster with all the love and support, as he also scored in his first game back at the club.
