Chelsea are still pushing on with their bid to sign Victor Osimhen even as Romelu Lukaku look set to join Napoli.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, talks are ongoing between the club and Osimhen’s representative with both sides refusing to shift ground on negotiations.
Osimhen is not keen to take a pay cut and Chelsea are unwilling to sign him at his current price. However, both parties are interested in making a deal.
Osimhen who led Napoli to their first Scudetto in 2023, scored 17 goals in 32 appearances, despite the Italian side enduring a difficult campaign. His consistent ability to score goals attracted interests from several clubs including Arsenal, Paris St Germain. Chelsea are in the clear to sign him as Paris St Germain, which Osimhen already agreed personal terms, backed out of the deal at the last minute.
