Reports in Italy claim Victor Osimhen has been very angry with Napoli in recent hours over the transfer saga involving Chelsea and Al-Ahli.
His proposed transfer to Chelsea, according to Tanziloic, is looking very difficult and now he does not think it will happen. A last-ditch solution is still being worked on.
The Athletic reports that Osihmen must give the Blues a greenlight over a move to Stamford Bridge before the club can advance talks with Napoli.
He is reportedly furious with Napoli for failing to agree a fee with Al-Ahli or Chelsea.
Napoli ace Osimhen is pushing to join Chelsea in the last hours of the summer transfer window after a move to Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro League fell apart.
However, according to transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri and L’Equipe journalist Loic Tanzi, the Partenopei are not ready to let him move to the Premier League.
Chelsea, in fact, have not yet matched Napoli’s asking price, even in the reduced version in the final hours of the transfer market.
Osimhen has a €130m clause in his contract, but the Partenopei are ready to sell him for €80m plus bonuses.
Al-Ahli had a deal in place with the 25-year-old, but according to Sky Sport Italia, Napoli raised their request by €5m, pushing the Saudi side to get Ivan Toney from Brentford instead.
Now, both Tavolieri and Tanzi claim that Chelsea are Osimhen’s favourite option and that the striker is pushing to move to Stamford Bridge.
Tanzi says that Osimhen is “very angry” with his club, while, according to Tavolieri, there’s a “big fight ongoing” between Osimhen and the Partenopei.
Al Ahli were interested in Osihmen, but their recruitment of Ivan Toney looks to have thwarted the move.
