Chelsea’s interest in Victor Osimhen is reigniting as the club seeks to bolster its attacking options ahead of the new season.
The Nigerian striker, who played a pivotal role in Napoli’s recent Serie A title win, has a £113 million release clause that has deterred some suitors.
However, Chelsea is reportedly considering a swap deal involving Romelu Lukaku, which could make the transfer more feasible.
With Chelsea’s new head coach, Enzo Maresca, actively reshaping the squad, Osimhen’s addition could significantly enhance their attacking prowess.
The club has already made several signings this summer and aims to continue its recruitment drive until the transfer window closes at the end of August.
Napoli’s owner has acknowledged the likelihood of Osimhen’s departure, emphasizing the club’s history of allowing players to pursue lucrative opportunities elsewhere.
As negotiations progress, Chelsea’s willingness to include players in the deal may be crucial in securing Osimhen’s signature.
