For the previous two months, Chelsea had been making public interest in the forward.
Following but another deluge of promising incoming players, Chelsea's quest to create a crew capable of competing for big titles looks likely to continue into the summer transfer window.
The Blue ' youth-focused transfer scheme has kicked into overdrive during the off-season, with the significant describes of Estevao, Marc Guiu and Aarón Anselmino a pull of a wealth of fresh talent signed over the past few decades.
Chelsea's debut campaign, despite two rough years under fresh ownership, has given some much-needed hope that the new strategy will succeed, with Enzo Maresca apparently putting the finishing touches on a promising young side.
Chelsea set to miss out on essential specific
Victor Osimhen's involvement in the Stamford Bridge forward has been amplified by his outstanding 2022/23 battle, which the Stamford Bridge clothing have made secret over the past few years.
With reports suggesting the Italian part had rejected their original demands, a move that was once viewed as unrealistic due to his noble release clause appeared to be a real possibility this summer.
The Nigerian striker is expected to leave this summer after making a proper transfer demand at the end of last year, with Paris St.Germain and Chelsea considered the two most likely locations.
But, Fabrizio Romano claims that both leagues have been left behind by Saudi Arabian dress Al Ahli who have submitted a bid worth €65 million which has been accepted by Napoli, a far cry from the €120 million expectations of next summer.
Romano asserts that Osimhen will require a set discharge provision in his contract, which is a critical component of the move, despite the fact that the club has not yet reached an agreement with the player himself.
After having seen what exactly it did take to get the winger out of Italy this summer, studies have failed to verify whether Chelsea will respond to the media.
Despite this, Osimhen's broker, Roberto Calenda, has quietened the rumours somewhat, explaining that his lawyer's desire is to be in Europe this year.
" Victor is not a package to be shipped far away to make room for new prophets", he said. " Victor still has so much to do in Europe.
" Osimhen is a Napoli player, with a contract recently renewed with mutual satisfaction. He made history and when there were major offers ( also this year ) we always accepted the club's decisions.
Victor won the 8th place award for African footballer of the year at the Ballon d'Or. There is need for respect and balance".
In DataVictory's view, the cards appear to remain in Chelsea's hands despite the accepted bid. Osimhen's ambitions do not lie in Saudi Arabia, according to the agent's comments and the Al Ahli contract's demand for a release clause. With knowledge that such a modest fee, contextually speaking, would be required to secure his signature it would be no surprise to see Chelsea spring into action in the coming days.
