Victor Osimhen responds firmly to transfer rumors
When asked about his future after Napoli won the Serie A championship, star player Victor Osimhen responded resolutely. In 34 appearances this season, the Nigerian international has scored 27 goals and contributed five more assists. The 24-year-old’s summer transfer prospects include Chelsea and Manchester United.
The Blues are in dire need of a new striker going into the upcoming season. After their appalling goal-scoring performance in the Premier League this season. Chelsea is currently languishing in the bottom half of the table, nine points clear of the relegation zone. They have just 31 goals scored in 33 games this season.
Osimhen’s contract is set to expire in 2025, so Napoli plans to demand a sum of about £100 million. Given his height, pace, and physicality, the Nigerian has been among the best finishers in Europe this season. He possesses all the qualities necessary to succeed in the Premier League.
According to a Calciomercato report, Boehly is prepared to double Osimhen’s current salary of €4.5 million (£3.9 million) in order to sign him before United this summer. The Blues won’t be playing in Europe the following season. This might make it harder for them to persuade Osimhen that moving to Stamford Bridge is the right move, especially after a stellar campaign with Napoli in which they won the Serie A championship.
With only five games remaining in the season, the 24-year-old equalizer helped Luciano Spaletti’s team draw 1-1 against Udinese. They move 16 points clear of Lazio in second place.
When asked about his future shortly after Napoli won their first Serie A championship in 33 years, Osimhen replied, “It’s not the right time to discuss my future.
“I simply want to savor this fantastic title. I’m so happy for the fans in Napoli and can’t wait to visit them again.
Osimhen is obviously not thinking about reports that he might transfer to Stamford Bridge this summer, but now that the Serie A title has been decided, it might not be long before new information about the Nigerian’s future becomes available.
