A journalist says, “Chelsea interested in Napoli star”. Victor Osimhen, a forward for Napoli, is wanted by Chelsea, but playing in the UEFA Champions League is proving difficult.
According to journalist Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany, the Blues are interested in Osimhen. With 28 goals in 37 games across tournaments, the 24-year-old striker has been on a tear.
Regarding Chelsea’s likely pursuit of Osimhen, Plettenberg tweeted. He said that the Nigerian is at the top of their desire list for transfers: “Chelsea hasn’t stopped pressing! He is to be their new striker, they say! He comes in first place. Recognize that current price expectations are around €110m + Boni.”
Financial Fair Play must be complied with by the Blues. Since Todd Boehly joined as a co-owner in May 2022, they have spent more than €691.44 million. The Premier League titans must first sell, according to Plettenberg. Additionally, it’s a problem because they didn’t make the Champions League: “However, (CFC) must first sell players, and De Laurentiis wants more money—at least €150 million. No Champions League for Chelsea the following season is problematic.”
The West London team is anticipated to announce Mauricio Pochettino as their new long-term manager soon. At Stamford Bridge, the Argentine manager will be eager to improve his sluggish attack. The Blues are currently 12th in the Premier League after struggling to score goals all season. Kai Havertz leads the team in scoring with just nine goals in 45 games across all competitions.
One of Europe’s most effective goal-scorers is Osimhen. Additionally, Manchester United and PSG, two teams who will compete in the Champions League next year, have expressed interest in him.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek of Chelsea is certain to quit the team and has spoken with AC Milan:
According to Football Insider, Ruben Loftus-Cheek is reportedly in talks with AC Milan and looks ready to depart Chelsea at the end of the current campaign. The Rossoneri are eager to get the English midfielder this summer despite the fact that he has one year left on his contract.
The adaptable Blues midfielder has played in 31 matches this season in all competitions, contributing two assists. But he has never really secured a spot in the West Londoners’ starting lineup.
Many teams are thought to be interested in Loftus-Cheek, with Milan being one among them. If he decides to join Stefan Pioli’s team, he might follow his former Blues teammate Fikaro Tomori to the San Siro.
