Chelsea have decided to completely give up on their chase of Napoli star Victor Osimhen, switching focus to Atletico Madrid’s Samu Omorodion.
The Blues had been in close contact with the Partenopei for a number of weeks now as the two clubs discussed a possible swap deal involving Romelu Lukaku and a hefty lump sum of cash. Negotiations proved complicated and slow, causing some anxiety in Campania.
Napoli are still seriously targeting Lukaku, regardless of the Osimhen situation, as they look to keep new coach Antonio Conte happy, but need to sell the Nigerian striker before they can invest in a new centre forward.
Chelsea give up on Osimhen
Gianluca Di Marzio details how Chelsea have decided to entirely move away from Osimhen as they switch focus to Omorodion, pushing to agree a deal for the Atletico Madrid talent.
Paris Saint-Germain are still contenders for the Napoli striker and Arsenal could return to the fray too. There is interest in Saudi Arabia, but the 25-year-old is not convinced by the idea.
Instead of Morata, why did Milan not sign Osimhen?
Chocolate bones wouldn’t survive in the prem. Even in serie a, he always goes down like he has been shot post every challenge. And then the next week, he is wearing a mask, shoulder pads, knee pads, groin guard, you name it.
Ehhh, maybe because Osimhen is 10 times more expensive and Milan cannot afford that? In fact no Italian club, Can afford that
Omar, you do realize how much 100mil is right? That’s not chump change.
Not chocolate born. He is as stronger as iron. He gave Serie Title and won Golden shoes! He will move to the best club at appointed time. Watch the space.
Overrated and not wanted anywhere!
