As per reports from journalist Simon Phillips, the 2023 CAF Player of the Year remains adamant about joining Chelsea. This is regardless of the club’s qualification for Champions League next year. Osimhen’s salary demands have been the central focus for the interested parties, but sources reveal that his wages are not as bogus as reported.
“Chelsea are ‘still there’ for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. The player has always been keen to join Chelsea regardless of Champions League football, and he is still keen now,” Phillips said in quotes revealed by Chelsea Online.
“The deal was worked on hard last summer, and the belief from our insiders is that his wage demands would not be as astronomical as the media are portraying. Chelsea can easily go back into the deal and our sources believe that it wouldn’t even be that difficult to come to an agreement,” Philipps concluded.
