In addition, Paris Saint-Germain and clubs from Saudi Arabia are also said to be monitoring the situation of the 25-year-old Napoli striker.
Rumours suggest that Chelsea are leading the race to secure Osimhen’s signature, especially with talks of a potential deal involving Romelu Lukaku heading to Napoli.
Amid all these speculations, Osimhen’s former teammate in the Super Eagles took to his X page on Thursday and wrote: “Osimhen to Chelsea… Here we go!!!”
Ogu’s recent social media post seems to imply that a move to Stamford Bridge could be close to being official.
Meanwhile, football transfer expert Ben Jacobs has indicated that Osimhen’s options might be limited, with the possibility of him staying at Napoli against his wishes if he doesn’t join Chelsea, his only active suitor.
It’s believed that Chelsea’s manager, Enzo Maresca, is keen on bringing in a new number 9 before the transfer window closes, with Osimhen reportedly being his preferred choice.
Despite Osimhen signing a new contract with Napoli last December, it’s understood that the club has agreed to let him leave this summer, potentially through the exercise of a €130 million release clause in his contract.
According to Jacobs, Chelsea are currently the only club actively pursuing Osimhen, and the situation could intensify as the transfer window deadline approaches.
While Chelsea’s interest in Osimhen seems concrete, recent reports have also linked Arsenal with a potential move for the 25-year-old Nigerian striker.
