Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confidently stated that Victor

Osimhen will not take a pay cut to facilitate his move to Chelsea.

The Italian hinted that Chelsea’s pursuit of the Napoli striker could allegedly

‘go down to the final week of the transfer window’ while, the Blues are in dire

need of a striker capable of guaranteeing them goals, and with less than two

weeks until the start of the new Premier League season, they have intensified

their search.

Chelsea while, closing in on a deal for Atletico Madrid attacker Samu

Omorodion, said, the London club are also heavily being linked with

Osimhen, with the Super Eagles forward said to be ranking prominently on

their wish list to lead their line during the 2024/25 campaign.

The Nigeria international has emerged as one of the most sought-after

strikers in Europe, having been linked with moves to Chelsea, Arsenal, Paris

Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Liverpool, among others and his

hefty €130m release clause has scared off many suitors, with PSG the only

European club still keen on signing him.

There has been talk of a potential swap deal involving Romelu Lukaku, as

Chelsea are unlikely to be in a position to activate the £113 million pounds

release clause in his Napoli contract.
