Italian boss sends message to striker with Chelsea looking to complete £111M signing!
Antonio Conte left Chelsea target Victor Osimhen out of his starting lineup for Napoli’s pre-season friendly against Albanian side KF Egnatia as he looks to leave the club.
Osimhen is a player that CHELSEA have been linked with for the last few windows – but have a real chance of finally getting a potential deal done this summer, if they pay the right amount of money.
Napoli are open to selling Osimhen – the striker has admitted he wants to leave and the premier League is somewhere he would like to be playing – Which is why Chelsea have been tipped to secure a transfer deal.
However – his £111 million asking price has stopped most clubs from making a move for the striker – which has led to alot of rumours that a move to PSG is also on the agenda for the big man.
But with Chelsea reportedly back in the hunt for the big man – Conte sent a big message to Osimhen after he was left out of his starting lineup for Napoli’s pre-season friendly against Albanian side KF Egnatia at the weekend
The former Chelsea and Spurs boss has previously hinted the club have agreed to let the striker leave for the right price.
“I know that there are agreements with the club, it’s a totally different situation, which I’ll witness,” said Conte. “Then if you ask me about the player, he’s a top player, but I can’t get into any discussions about Osimhen because these are previous agreements.
Reporter Iomie Stanley told icfootballnews: ‘Look, there has been some world class players linked with a move to CHELSEA over the past few months – but Osimhen is one of the elite strikers in the game and a man that would send a statement to the rest of the Premier League.
‘If Chelsea are prepared to pay big money for the man – they would be getting a 30 goals a season striker. as he is the kind of striker that the club needs right now.
‘But that asking price is a real problem for many clubs and we are shocked that no official moves have been made.’
