Chelsea has chosen to focus on Atletico Madrid’s Samu Omorodion instead of giving up on their pursuit of Napoli star Victor Osimhen.
The Blues and the Partenopei had been in tight communication for a few weeks now as they deliberated over the possibility of Romelu Lukaku and a sizeable cash transfer. There was significant unease in Campania as a result of the convoluted and drawn-out negotiations.
Napoli are still seriously targeting Lukaku, regardless of the Osimhen situation, as they look to keep new coach Antonio Conte happy, but need to sell the Nigerian striker before they can invest in a new centre forward.
Gianluca Di Marzio details how Chelsea have decided to entirely move away from Osimhen as they switch focus to Omorodion, pushing to agree a deal for the Atletico Madrid talent.
Paris Saint-Germain are still contenders for the Napoli striker and Arsenal could return to the fray too. There is interest in Saudi Arabia, but the 25-year-old is not convinced by the idea.
