Chelsea was the “chosen club” for the player, and the Blues have no trouble covering the signing cost.

Gazzetta dello Sport reported three days ago that Victor Osimhen of Napoli is in a good position to join Chelsea in the summer.

Italian agent Paolo Palermo confirmed that on Thursday, saying the west London club has already entered the competition to recruit the striker. The Blues are still being promoted by the Italian media as his future stop.

According to CalcioNapoli24, Corriere della Sera discusses the 25-year-old’s “possible future at Chelsea.”

The former Lille player inked a new contract with a €120 million clause last month, which runs until 2026. The tabloid queries whether Mauricio Pochettino’s team—named as a contender—will be his next destination in England.

Chelsea ‘would have no issue paying’ the amount specified in his clause, it is said.

After this season, the Nigerian international has made it clear that he wants to leave the Serie A winners. Aurelio De Laurentiis, the chairman of Napoli, has acknowledged knowing the star’s desire to move to the Premier League and supporting it.

“Last summer, we already knew that. If not, the renewal negotiations wouldn’t have taken as long. He stated, as cited by Sport Mediaset, “We already knew that he would go to Real Madrid, or Paris Saint Germain, or in the Premier League.”
According to Italian journalist Ciro Venerato, Chelsea and Arsenal might have to compete for Osimhen’s signature. He continues by saying that Jonathan David of Lille has been singled out by Napoli to take his position.

“A tug-of-war between Chelsea and Arsenal over Osimhen is about to ensue.” This is an all-London task. Venerato told Rai, as reported by Area Napoli, “Clearly, the club that pays the Nigerian’s release clause to the Neapolitan club will win.”
