Chelsea Pulls Plug on Osimhen Pursuit
Premier League giants Chelsea have officially ended their pursuit of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer. According to Sky Sports, the deal has fallen through, leaving the Blues to explore other options in the transfer market.
Osimhen, who has been a top target for Chelsea throughout the transfer window, was widely expected to make the move to Stamford Bridge. However, a combination of factors, including Napoli’s high asking price and the player’s personal preferences, have led to the breakdown of negotiations.
With the transfer window nearing its close, Chelsea will now need to turn their attention to alternative targets to bolster their attacking options. The club has been linked with a number of forwards, including Romelu Lukaku, who is currently on loan at Inter Milan.
