When it comes to transfer sagas of late, you will more often than not see Chelsea’s name involved with them, and this summer will be no different.
There is going to be one major transfer saga and I am sure right up until this story is concluded, Chelsea’s name will be regularly thrown into the drama.
EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea send scouts to watch striker on international break!
Will they even be moving to try and sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli? That remains to be seen. But Osimhen is often reported to be one of Chelsea’s priority targets for the summer, but they will not be the only club admiring him right now.
As reported by Football Italia this morning, the agent representing Thiago Motta claims he knows who Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG target Victor Osimhen will choose when leaving Napoli.
There were reports today in Calciomercato.com that Osimhen had already told Roberto Calenda to start laying the groundwork for the summer transfer to his next destination.
According to Bologna coach Thiago Motta’s agent Dario Canovi, the Nigeria international and former Lille hitman is returning to Ligue 1 rather than the Premier League.
“In my view, it is very likely he will play for Paris Saint-Germain,” Canovi told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.
“It would be the smartest signing to replace Kylian Mbappé, who has been a Real Madrid player for months and it’s a farce that they are trying to avoid telling us.”
Osimhen has a release clause in his new contract with Napoli, which is believed to be set at around €130m, after winning the Scudetto last season.
Dare we raise the most important question: Is he even worth 130m???
Not in my book.
