Chelsea interested in Napoli striker Victor Osimhen

British football club Chelsea is actively exploring the possibility of signing Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker from Napoli. Concurrently, negotiations are underway for Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku to join the Italian side. Lukaku, who spent the last two seasons on loan at Inter Milan and AS Roma, is set to return to training at Chelsea this week.

Chelsea had initially expressed reluctance to pay Osimhen’s release fee from Napoli, considering instead a loan arrangement. However, discussions about a potential player swap involving Lukaku and Osimhen might be revived. Lukaku’s departure to Napoli would ease Chelsea’s wage bill, making a deal for Osimhen more feasible.

Football analysts suggest that the most likely scenario is Osimhen moving to Chelsea on an initial loan with an obligation to purchase him at the end of the season. Both players are currently training away from their respective squads due to the uncertainty surrounding their futures.
