Chelsea are set to continue direct talks with Victor Osimhen’s camp on Wednesday as they intensify their efforts to secure the Nigerian striker from Napoli. According to reports from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, these discussions are crucial as Chelsea looks to finalize terms with Osimhen, who has been a top target for the Blues throughout the summer transfer window.
"Direct talks between Chelsea and Victor Osimhen’s camp to continue on Wednesday.
Al Ahli proposal remains valid on table but will only be activated if Chelsea can’t agree on terms with Osimhen.
⚠️ Sancho, separate story as #CFC see that possible if Man Utd want Sterling".
Osimhen, who played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Serie A title win last season, has attracted interest from several top clubs across Europe. Chelsea, determined to bolster their attacking options, view Osimhen as the ideal candidate to lead their frontline. However, negotiating with Napoli has proven challenging, with the Italian club holding out for a significant transfer fee.
While Chelsea remains focused on landing Osimhen, Al Ahli’s proposal for the striker remains valid and on the table. The Saudi Arabian club is keen to secure Osimhen’s services and has made a lucrative offer. However, this option will only be pursued if Chelsea fails to reach an agreement with the player and his representatives in the coming days.
In a separate but related development, Jadon Sancho has emerged as a potential target for Chelsea. The Blues are reportedly considering a move for the Manchester United winger, but this deal could hinge on the future of Raheem Sterling. According to Romano, Chelsea sees the possibility of a Sancho swap if Manchester United expresses interest in acquiring Sterling as part of the negotiations.
The next 48 hours are expected to be pivotal as Chelsea looks to navigate these complex negotiations, with Osimhen’s situation being the top priority. The outcome of these talks could have significant implications for Chelsea’s squad for the new premier league season.
