Giants will allow world class striker to Join Chelsea for £84 million this summer
Napoli will drop their asking price to £84million in order to allow Chelsea target Victor Osimhen to leave this summer on a permanent deal.
Osimhen was a player that was heavily linked with Chelsea at the beginning of the transfer window, there was alot of speculation that the Blues were ready to pay big money in order to get a deal done.
However – that Blues board have decided to spend alot of their transfer money on seven new signings that are for the future – and interest in the big Nigerian star has wavered in recent weeks.
But Reports emerging this this week have given the Blues a boost, with Napoli now willing to consider accepting Romelu Lukaku in a part exchange deal, which has got the transfer talk that Chelsea could sign Osimhen once again.
Now reports in Italy state that Antonio Conte’s new side could open up to cheaper bids for Osimhen just to secure the money and a transfer this year rather than risking having two expensive forwards in 12 months including Lukaku.
Osimhen’s release clause is around £111million but the Italians will accept £84 million in a bid to get the striker sold this summer.
And amid all the speculation and rumours – ex-Blues star William Gallas has claimed that Chelsea should go all out and try to sign Oismhen this window – Speaking to Gambling Zone, Williams Gallas said: “CHELSEA need a player like him. They need a player who can keep the ball and give the opportunity for the team to get up the pitch.
“CHELSEA will play with one striker next season, and they will need that striker to bring other players into the game as well as being able to stretch defences with pace. Everyone has seen what he is capable of.
“What he did for Napoli the season before last was exceptional. If there is even the slightest chance of signing him, then Chelsea must go for it.
“They need a player that can consistently score goals otherwise they will have the same problem as last season…”
