Glamtush reports that in a dramatic twist to the 2024 summer transfer saga, Victor Osimhen’s highly anticipated move to Chelsea has collapsed. He will remain at Napoli after the Serie A club and Premier League side Chelsea failed to reach an agreement for the Nigerian striker before the summer transfer deadline.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, negotiations between Napoli and Chelsea broke down late in the window, leaving Osimhen in a difficult position.
Romano wrote on his X account, “No agreement between Victor Osimhen and Chelsea even after a new proposal was presented two hours ago. Deal completely off for Victor Osimhen. No agreement with Chelsea, and the #CFC delegation is now leaving Napoli. If nothing happens from Saudi in the next three days, Osimhen will stay at Napoli but he’s not gonna be part of the first-team squad. Relationship currently completely broken.”
Romano had on Thursday said Italian Serie A side Napoli have reached an agreement with Saudi club side Al Ahli for Osimhen.
According to him, the deal was worth €75/80m.
He also said Osimhen would be signed onto the club side for four years and would be earning €25/30m per season.
Romano, however, added that the club side also included an affordable and easy release clause for Osimhen as part of their proposal and it is lower than reported €100m.
