Chelsea’s Osimhen Pursuit Stalled
Chelsea’s hopes of acquiring Napoli striker Victor Osimhen have hit a significant roadblock. Despite the Nigerian forward being widely expected to depart the Serie A champions this summer, reports indicate that he is not enthusiastic about a potential move to Stamford Bridge.
Earlier negotiations between Chelsea and Napoli centered around a player swap involving Romelu Lukaku, with Osimhen moving on loan with an option to buy.
However, this proposed deal now appears unlikely to materialize due to Osimhen’s apparent lack of interest in joining the Blues.
The situation is further complicated by the fact that Osimhen has been excluded from Napoli’s pre-season squad under manager Antonio Conte.
