Corriere dello Sport reports that Napoli is willing to lower their asking price for star striker Victor Osimhen to €100 million (£84.6 million).
This adjustment may reignite Chelsea’s interest in the Nigerian international, who has garnered attention from several top European clubs.
Osimhen, 25, transferred from Lille to Napoli in 2020 and has since become a prolific scorer, making him one of the most coveted forwards in the market.
Chelsea, aiming to bolster their attacking options, has struggled with consistent goal-scoring and views Osimhen as a potential key addition to their squad.
Initially, Napoli set Osimhen’s price at around €150 million (£127 million), but the club now appears more open to negotiation. This flexibility may be driven by the desire to facilitate a smoother transfer process and manage financial considerations amid ongoing squad changes.
Lowering the price might also attract interest from other European clubs, intensifying the competition for Osimhen.
Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are among the other teams that have expressed interest in the forward, who is keen to join a club with strong ambitions and Champions League potential.
As the summer transfer window progresses, Chelsea supporters are eager to see if their club can secure Osimhen’s signature. His acquisition could significantly enhance Chelsea’s prospects for success in both domestic and European competitions in the upcoming season.
