Britain's cutoff side reported on the 30th (Korea time) 'Chelsea will have to wait until January to make progress on Victor Osimhen's transfer.
Osimhen is one of the strikers who heated up the transfer market in the previous summer. Leaving Napoli this summer was a strong possibility. Napoli had already planned to release him by signing Romelu Lukaku as his replacement. However, his transfer work was not smooth. As all the interested clubs left, they became duck eggs on the Nakdonggang River.
Initially, interest in Osimhen was great. Osimhen, who scored 31 goals in 39 games in the 2022-2023 season and won the league with Kim Min-jae for the first time in 33 years, soared in value in the previous 2023-2024 season with 17 goals in 32 games. However, Napoli's demand was too high. Napoli demanded a buyout of 110 million pounds (about 190 billion won) as a transfer fee for Osimen. Teams tired of the demand have given up their interest in Osimhen.
Chelsea was the only team working on recruiting Osimhen until the end. But Chelsea couldn't catch Osimhen either. Osimhen's high salary demand, not the transfer fee, blocked the transfer. The annual salary demanded by Osimhen is as much as 26 million pounds (about 45 billion won), the highest level in the EPL, which is full of top-ranking annual salary recipients. Saudi Arabia later targeted Osimhen, but it was canceled due to Napoli's high transfer fee demand, and Osimhen was loaned to Kalatasaray in the Turkiye League at the end of the transfer window and succeeded in leaving Naples immediately.

Cutoffside said 'Chelsea tried to sign Osimhen this summer, but the deal didn't go through and the deadline was over. Chelsea's interest in Osimhen remains but has to wait until closer to January. Reporter Fabrizio Romano heard that Osimhen could transfer for just 40 million pounds (about 70 billion won) in January, and also heard that Chelsea was in the process of transferring behind closed doors. However, it can be said that nothing has happened to Osimhen yet. 'Negotiations are not yet underway...' Chelsea are interested, but no specific negotiations are underway.
Napoli currently signed a contract with Osimhen until the summer of 2026, so Osimhen's value will inevitably fall further next summer. Only when it is sold quickly can it earn the maximum amount of transfer fee revenue.
Napoli, which failed to sell Osimen this summer, is expected to continue to worry about selling Osimen. Amid growing expectations that bids for less than the expected transfer fee, the battle between Napoli and the teams seeking Osimhen is also expected to continue.
