Osimhen Remains Chelsea’s Main Priority –Galetti

Football’s transfer expert Rudy Galetti says Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen remains Chelsea’s main priority this summer.

Recall that the Nigerian international has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea since the beginning of the transfer window.

However, in a chat with TribalFootball, Galetti stated that the Blues are also working on personal terms with Osimhen.

“Victor Osimhen remains Chelsea’s primary target to strengthen their attack before the summer transfer window closes. Contacts with Napoli have continued in recent weeks, and significant progress was made in their latest meeting. However, much work remains, as this will be a highly complex and substantial operation.

“The negotiations are expected to drag on until the final days of the transfer window to bridge the gap on the money that will have to be put on the table to agree on the transfer of the Nigerian player. Meanwhile, Chelsea are also working on personal terms with Osimhen: so far, discussions have revolved around a proposed salary exceeding £9 million net per season, with a contract running until 2030. Victor is keen on a move to the Premier League and currently remains on the sidelines at Napoli.

“Before finalising Osimhen’s potential transfer, Napoli and Chelsea are also discussing the last details of Romelu Lukaku’s move. The Belgian striker is set to join the Italy club on a loan with an obligation to buy for around €30 million. Lukaku has already agreed on personal terms and is simply waiting for the green light to return to Serie A, with Napoli aiming to complete the deal by Friday, ensuring Romelu is available for Sunday’s match against Bologna.”
