Chelsea Finally Moves! €85M Transfer Deal for Victor Osimhen Nears Conclusion
In a major development, Chelsea has one final chance to land Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen before his €75 million release clause expires in mid-July. With time running out, the club is under serious pressure to act swiftly and decisively, as top European clubs circle around the prolific forward.
Chelsea has been pursuing Osimhen for over a year, but their window to sign him at the current price is closing fast. According to Italy’s Gazzetta dello Sport, once the clause expires, Napoli will be free to set a much higher price—potentially €100 million or more. This has intensified the urgency for Chelsea, especially with Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain also showing strong interest.
Osimhen is coming off an impressive loan spell at Galatasaray, where he scored 26 goals, and he’s now considered one of the most dangerous strikers in Europe. New Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca sees Osimhen as a vital piece in his plans to challenge for silverware across all competitions. With his speed, strength, and clinical finishing, Osimhen fits perfectly into Chelsea’s attacking system.However, Chelsea faces stiff competition.
Saudi club Al-Hilal is reportedly preparing an enormous financial offer that could make Osimhen one of the highest-paid players in the world. Galatasaray, impressed by his recent form, is also eager to make his move permanent.With the deadline fast approaching, Chelsea must move quickly or risk missing out.
Failure to secure Osimhen could derail their summer transfer plans and force them to scramble for other options. The pressure is mounting, and Chelsea fans are anxiously awaiting the outcome of this high-stakes transfer race.
