Now Or Never! Chelsea Hold Crunch Talks To Sign Victor Osimhen (15522 Views)

Great100000: 8:51am On May 15

Now or never! Premier League giants hold crunch talks to sign Victor Osimhen.

Victor Osimhen could land his dream move to the English Premier League, according to the latest reports.

Chelsea are reportedly planning critical talks with Victor Osimhen’s representatives this week, aiming to find an agreement to bring the striker to Stamford Bridge.

The Nigerian star, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, is expected to leave Naples on a permanent deal this summer. Despite Chelsea's firm interest, reports indicate that Osimhen’s wage expectations are the primary obstacle to a move to Stamford Bridge.

Both Osimhen and Chelsea are eager to make the transfer happen, but his salary demands are reportedly too high for the Blues or any other Premier League club.

The report claims Chelsea are now exploring creative ways to structure a deal that fits their wage framework, though Osimhen is unlikely to reduce his expectations without performance-based incentives included in the contract.

If no agreement is reached, Chelsea have lined up Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins and Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap as fallback options.

Osimhen has been in scintillating form at Galatasaray, racking up 33 goals and eight assists in 38 appearances across all competitions this season.

What are these Chelshit people smoking? He was on the table last market, literally begging to be signed but you decided to stick to rubbish Jackson...Now after a barnstorming campaign in Turkey with half the world at his feet, you decided to hijack his move to Real Madrid with crap like "crunch talks"...

If Chelsea are serious about rebuilding, Osimhen is exactly the kind of striker we need. Pay the man what he's worth or risk losing a world-class talent again!
35 goals and 8 assists no be jokes!
Make Chelsea no fumble this one, Osimhen is the real deal

Oshimen like haaland is a one dimensional striker. Good in the box. But outside of it. ...

So get your self i telligeny midfielder to apot his run effectively.

Chelsea's biggest issue with osimhen is his wages

75 millions for g is high enough
Not to talk of over 10m salary annually

Although he seems injury prone and one dimensional, nevertheless he is efficient, physical, defensive and aggressive in front of goal

So the gamble is now on Chelsea
Wish to see him in England though

I guess he remains local champions thr, that prayer should be for you.

If Osinmeh is in any of top 5 league this summer, he would have be crowned CAF, football of the year, but with all his efforts and achievements this year, he would still be ranked behind Salah, provided Hakeem won't come before him.

That's power of eating in the same bowl with men and not boys.

If Chelsea can't afford Victor Osimhen please let them give Nickolas Jackson time to improve.

Ollie Watkins and Delap would be a complete disaster.

For those insulting Chelsea fans for asking for Osimhen, is it a bad thing to demand for what is best?

I don't understand why when it comes to African players, who are performing exceedingly well, Europeans always say their wages are too high. While Osimhen may not be Haarland, there is little doubt that Osimhen has what it takes to compete with the best out there.
