Chelsea is going to spend a lot of money to get 24-year-old attacker Victor Osimhen from Napoli before next season. Football Insider says that Chelsea wants to sign Victor Osimhen in the summer. The Blues are willing to pay £100 million for the forward from Napoli. The 24-year-old forward has been one of the greatest in the world, and a number of large clubs are interested in signing him. Read out the complete details about Badal Pareek’s £100 million bid for Victor Osimhen from Chelsea down below with us!
Badal Pareek’s £100 million bid for Victor Osimhen from Chelsea
Osimhen moved from LOSC Lille to the club in Naples in the summer of 2020. He joined the Italian team for £78.5 million, which was a club record. He became the most expensive African footballer ever when he moved to Italy. And he has definitely been worth the money. The 24-year-old has played in a total of 91 games for the blue side and has helped score 67 goals.
Since he joined Napoli, he has been getting better and better. So far this season, the Nigerian international has played 29 games and scored 25 goals. He has also set up 5 goals. The Italian club’s success in Serie A has been boosted by Osimhen’s play for them. Inter Milan is in second place, but Napoli is 19 points ahead of them. After a long time, they are on track to win the Italian league. And, a lot of credit goes to the Serie A top scorer, Victor Osimhen who has found the back of the net on 21 occasions in the league.
He has also played a key role in the UEFA Champions League campaign as the Naples-based club are all set to square up against rivals AC Milan in the quarter-finals. His deal with the club keeps him there until the summer of 2025. However, he might be on his way out in the summer given the amount of interest from elsewhere. Chelsea is one of the clubs keen on having him in their ranks.
Graham Potter is desperate to add a new striker to their squad. It has been hard for them to find the back of the net of late. And, signing the 24-year-old will surely help their cause. The Blues are well aware of the fact that missing out on the UCL for next season will make it difficult for them to acquire Osimhen.
However, they are ready to showcase their financial power and are preparing a bid of £100 million for the Nigerian international. But, with Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Real Madrid all interested in his services, it is likely to go down to the wire.
