Chelsea are intensifying their pursuit of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as the summer transfer window reaches its climax. Despite facing stiff competition, the Blues remain determined to secure the signature of the Nigerian international.
The London club has been linked with Osimhen for over a year, with fans eagerly anticipating a potential move. This summer could finally see the prolific forward switch to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea’s ongoing transfer activity extends beyond Osimhen, with the club also exploring deals for Atletico Madrid duo Samu Omorodion and Conor Gallagher.
According to The Athletic football journalist David Ornstein, regardless of what happens with Alvarez and Omorodion, the Blues are in talks with Napoli to Osimhen as a separate deal. The 25-year-old scored 15 goals in 25 Serie A games last season and has a valid contract until 2026.
The Blues are keen to bolster their attacking options under new manager Enzo Maresca, while Atletico Madrid seek to strengthen their midfield ahead of the new season.
