Chelsea is actively negotiating with Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen on deadline day, focusing on finalizing personal terms before making an official bid to Napoli. The club is assessing whether Osimhen’s wage demands align with their financial structure to ensure the move is feasible.
Napoli anticipates an offer from Chelsea for the 25-year-old striker, who has been a key target for the Blues. Chelsea is looking to bolster their attack with a reliable goalscorer, as Nicolas Jackson has not met expectations. The club is also monitoring other potential strikers, including Ivan Toney.
The outcome of Chelsea’s negotiations with Osimhen will depend on aligning his contract demands with their budget, and whether the final offer meets Napoli’s valuation of the player.
