English Premier League side, Chelsea, have re-established contact with Napoli for Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, ahead of possible January move, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 25-year-old forward has been a long-term target for the two-time UEFA Champions League winners as he was linked with them all summer but a move to London fell through as Chelsea were unwilling to pay his €130m release clause at the time, and Napoli were unwilling to listen to offers below that fee.
Osimhen was frozen out in Naples, as he didn’t feature in the club’s games or training before joining Turkish side, Galatasaray, on a season-long loan last month.
He’s had a bright start to life in Turkey, with Gala eyeing a permanent move for the former LOSC Lille star, but it is highly unlikely a move like that will surface as the Nigerian has the personal ambition to thrive in the English Premier League.
As per Football Talk, Chelsea have recently decided to reopen talks with the striker’s party in a bid to bring him to the club in January, adding that Osimhen’s price-tag for a winter transfer move has significantly dropped, meaning Enzo Maresca’s side can possibly sign him for just £63 million.
Chelsea have been amongst the goals in the English Premier League this season, scoring 16 goals from seven games, the second highest in the league, just behind Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. However, the club view Osimhen as the missing piece and believe his presence in the team will make them title contenders.
The Premier League giants made significant sales during the previous transfer window and are in a much better place financially, meaning the chances of them forking out £63m in January is high.
