Osimhen Set to Join Chelsea; See the Amount of Weekly Wage Agreement

Victor Osimhen has reportedly reached an agreement with Chelsea for a move that will see him earn €350,000 per week, bringing him closer to his Premier League dream.

Although this amount is €150,000 less than his initial demand of €500,000 per week, the deal is moving forward rapidly with the summer transfer window closing soon.

This development aligns with previous reports suggesting that the transfer negotiations between Chelsea and Napoli were approaching a resolution. Napoli has seemingly accepted Chelsea’s offer for the Nigerian striker.

In contrast, Al Ahli has intensified their pursuit of Osimhen, with Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano noting that the Saudi Pro League club’s management is preparing to travel to Italy to finalize the transfer.

Chelsea is expected to secure a new striker, with Osimhen, Jhon Duran, and Ivan Toney—who is also being monitored by Manchester United—being the primary candidates.

Napoli is eager to part ways with Osimhen and is open to various offers, having seen their top summer target, PSG, shift focus due to a strong start to the season.
