Victor Osimhen is one step closer to achieving his dream Premier League transfer as he has reportedly agreed to join Chelsea on a weekly salary of €350,000.
With the summer transfer window shutting in less than 48 hours, the Napoli striker had to accept a sum of €150,000 less than what he had originally demanded—€500,000 a week.
The lengthy transfer negotiations between Chelsea and Napoli appear to be coming to an end, as earlier reports from Italy suggested. Napoli is said to have accepted the London club’s bid to sign the Nigerian striker.
Meanwhile, Al Ahli have taken their desperation to sign Osimhen to another dimension on Thursday, with Italian transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reporting that the management of the Saudi Pro League giants were set to travel to Italy to facilitate the transfer of the Napoli striker.
Chelsea are likely to add a new striker to their ranks one way or another at this stage, which will be one of Osimhen, Jhon Duran, and Ivan Toney, who is also on the radar of Manchester United.
Napoli are desperate to part ways with the former Lille player and are open to both solutions, as they only hope to find a way to sell the player.
His foremost summer suitors PSG have since moved on to other options, an action justified by their bright start to the season.
