Chelsea fans sent teasing message about potential January signing – reports claim Blues ‘already working on deal’

Italian Journalist Fabrizio Romano has come out and spoken about the latest rumours in the media which have claimed that Chelsea have already started working on a possible deal to bring on-loan Napoli star Victor Osimhen to Stamford Bridge once the winter window opens up in just a few months time.

Despite links to the likes of Arsenal, CHELSEA and Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli could not find a buyer for Osimhen and his relationship with the Serie A club fell apart, resulting in him being loaned to Galatasaray for the season.

Chelsea have reportedly already started working on a bargain deal for the winter window for Osimehn, which has now prompted a response from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano

Speaking to CaughtOffside, Romano rubbished suggestions that concrete negotiations were already taking place, though he did reiterate that Chelsea’s interest remains.

“I’m aware there continue to be plenty of stories about Victor Osimhen’s future after a crazy summer that saw him make the surprise move to Galatasaray despite the strong interest from Chelsea and other clubs.

“I’ve been asked about reports on Osimhen possibly moving for just £40 million this January, with Chelsea said to be working on this deal behind the scenes. However, I can honestly say that nothing is happening now regarding Osimhen.

“I’ve said many times recently that Chelsea’s interest remains and they still like the player, but there are no negotiations ongoing and it would be disrespectful for Galatasaray as they paid important money to land Osimhen on loan.

“So it’s all quiet for now, and once we get closer to January we will see the developments.”

Look, CHELSEA would be able to get Osimhen for a bargain price if they were to make a move for the player in the winter window – but going by the clubs transfer policy in recent windows – he is far too old to make a move for now.
