Victor Osimhen, 25, of Italian Serie A side Napoli, is a hot topic in the transfer market this summer. He re-signed with Napoli last December and set a ‘buyout’ clause.
It was a prelude to a move. Any club can sign him by paying Napoli £112 million. Osimhen holds the sword.
‘Chelsea are getting closer and closer to signing Osimhen despite parting ways with Mauricio Pochettino,’ reported the UK’s ‘Team Talk’ on Wednesday. The Blues are far ahead of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Saudi Arabian clubs in the race for the player.
Chelsea are in for a change. Pochettino took charge of Chelsea in July last year and after a shaky start, the Blues turned things around to finish sixth in the English Premier League (EPL). 바카라사이트 Chelsea will return to European competition next season.
However, the Blues announced the termination of Pochettino’s contract by mutual consent on May 22, which is unlikely to change their plans for this summer’s transfer window, according to TeamTalk.
Kieran McKenna, who led Ipswich Town to their first EPL promotion in 22 years, is being touted as Chelsea’s next manager.
McKenna is also a former United coach.
According to Team Talk, citing sources, Osimhen has already unofficially approved a move to Chelsea. The deal with Chelsea is a seven-year contract and is in the final stages of negotiation.
An agreement on personal terms is not far away. Osimhen has made it clear that he wants to be a key player for Chelsea.
Lee’s PSG are considering Osimhen as an alternative to Kylian Mbappe’s departure. However, no concrete contact has been made. Osimhen is also reportedly not considering a move to PSG.
Nor is a move to Saudi Arabia a possibility. Ausimhen’s favorite option is the EPL.
Napoli won the Scudetto (Serie A title) for the first time in 33 years last season. 안전놀이터 This season, however, they are in 10th place with a game in hand.
Osimhen has 15 goals and three assists in 24 Serie A appearances this season.
