Victor Osimhen has reportedly told Napoli about his desire to move to Chelsea, according to reports.
The 25-year-old transfer saga looks like it is set to go down to the wire as an agreement between all relevant parties has proven difficult to reach.
Osimhen’s preference is to move to Stamford Bridge, L’Équipe understands, with the publication reporting that he is “very annoyed” with current club Napoli amid negotiations, as he fears the move breaking down.
Fraser (Fletcher) Gillan on X said: “Update: Understand Victor Osimhen has made it clear to Napoli he wants to move Chelsea. Napoli and Chelsea trying to get a deal done but things are very tense.
“Also had reports of low wage offer from Chelsea shot down by sources who say they have made a very good offer and are working on a structure.”
Fabrizio Romano said: “I got a call one of my sources today, he’s been working on some of the biggest deals in 25 years, and he told me he’s never seen anything like this Osimhen deal, it’s completely crazy, people involved don’t know where he could end up”
