Chelsea’s Last-Ditch Attempt to Sign Osimhen: Salary Stalemate Remains

The transfer saga surrounding Victor Osimhen continues to dominate headlines in Naples. The Nigerian striker is reportedly at odds with Napoli, with his desired move to Saudi Arabia’s Al Ahli falling through due to a lack of agreement on salary. Osimhen was offered a staggering £650,000 per week by Al Ahli, a figure Chelsea cannot match. However, Chelsea has not given up on signing Osimhen. Sky Sports UK journalist Kaveh Solhekol reported that Chelsea is waiting to see if a deal can be finalized, but time is running out. Chelsea’s desire to secure Osimhen is hampered by negotiations over the player’s contract incentives.
