Chelsea aimed to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer as part of their transfer plan.

The striker was offered €6 million per year, yet he was unwilling to take such a substantial pay cut from his current salary of €11m.

Victor Osimhen and his agents failed to negotiate his transfer to Chelsea. He has three more days to discuss a potential move to Saudi Arabia, where he has a lucrative offer.

Victor Osimhen was set to move to Chelsea, but the deal finally broke down in the final hours of the window. Napoli's demand for a €130 million price tag deterred many suitors.

Numerous sources, including Sky Sports and RMC, indicated that the deal is now dead.

The transfer of Victor Osimhen to Chelsea remains unresolved after a lengthy day of discussions and negotiations. Discussions with Al Ahli broke down as they shifted their focus to Ivan Toney from Brentford. Consequently, the Blues were unable to reach an agreement with all parties involved for the Nigerian striker's move to London. Should the Saudi Pro League not reopen the deal—their transfer window remains open until Monday, September 2—Osimhen faces the risk of being left out of the squad if the deal is not finalized by midnight.

Victor Osimhen believes that Napoli have ruined his opportunity to complete a Deadline Day move to Chelsea. Chelsea have been following the striker for months, and after Arsenal and PSG dropped their interest in the player, who Napoli were demanding €130 million for, the Blues are the last European club standing. Osimhen has knocked back a €155,000-a-week offer from Chelsea, with talks continuing.

Chelsea’s bid to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is being held up by his extraordinary £500,000-a-week demands, SunSport can exclusively reveal.

Victor Osimhen wants to join Paris Saint-Germain this summer instead of making a move to either Arsenal or Chelsea, according to a new report.

Victor Osimhen has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge. The Italian side have reportedly agreed to sign Blues star Romelu Lukaku in a £38m deal. Lukaku's arrival at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona could enable Osimhen to leave. However, the Nigeria international is set to cost over £100m.

Chelsea continues to be linked with Victor Osimhen, who is hoping to leave Napoli. The Serie A club wants Romelu Lukaku to reunite with Antonio Conte, but the transfer has proven complicated to arrange in a way that satisfies all parties. Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna confirmed that the situation is blocked and mentioned that they are working with Osimhen's entourage to find the best solution by 30 August.

Discussions with Chelsea did not progress as the club never made a decisive move, and Osimhen was not convinced about playing there.

Victor Osimhen is set to get offers thrown at him in the final week of the transfer window, with interest from Chelsea. Napoli have been very public about their desire to sell at Osimhen's release clause of €130 million. Chelsea prefers a loan move, the type of which Osimhen is not interested in.

Chelsea and Napoli have reached a verbal agreement over the transfer of Romelu Lukaku, in a deal that could finally open the door for the Premier League club to make a move for Victor Osimhen.

The Belgian's imminent arrival in Naples will likely signal the end of Victor Osimhen's time at the club. The former Lille forward is eager to leave Napoli and he is Chelsea's number one transfer target as the Blues look to purchase a new number nine before Transfer Deadline Day on 30 August.

Chelsea's current priority is to try to sign Victor Osimhen on an initial loan deal. Osimhen has shown a reluctance to move on any loan deal unless it includes an obligation to make the move permanent. His high salary demands could also prove problematic.

Chelsea are interested in signing Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, but a swap deal has been ruled out and the Blues are currently exploring the possibility of signing the Nigerian on loan. However, Osimhen is believed to be against the idea of a loan deal, while he isn’t willing to lower his €11m-per-year wage demands.

Chelsea's pursuit of Victor Osimhen is in doubt due to the Nigerian's salary request. Victor Osimhen is demanding a net annual wage of €11m, which far exceeds how much Chelsea are willing to offer.

Chelsea is targeting Victor Osimhen as their primary transfer goal. They plan to pursue the transfer until August 30. Napoli is known to be a tough negotiator, and the transfer fee is expected to be close to three figures if not reaching it.

Victor Osimhen's potential move to Chelsea is in an advanced stage, according to former Nigeria international John Ogu. Ogu, who has 26 caps for Nigeria and played with Osimhen on two occasions for the national team, believes the deal is now done. The 36-year-old used Fabrizio Romano's famous catchphrase and posted on X: 'OSIMHEN TO CHELSEA… Here we go !!!'

Chelsea have been the frontrunners for several months and a move to Stamford Bridge seems extremely plausible given Napoli’s pursuit of Blues forward Romelu Lukaku. However, the west London club are currently eyeing a loan move, which isn’t of interest to Osimhen.

Chelsea are pursuing Victor Osimhen despite their huge squad size. They have been courting him for months. Napoli's asking price of €130 million has been a factor, leading Chelsea to plot a loan move. Osimhen does not want to depart on loan unless there is a compulsory purchase option.

Talks between Chelsea and Napoli are simultaneously taking place over the Nigerian striker, who is desperate to leave Naples this summer. No significant progress has been made with both sides steadfastly defending their point of view: Osimhen won't lower his salary or settle for a loan and Chelsea have no intention to pay his inflated wages.

Napoli is working on sealing Victor Osimhen's exit from the club this summer, though a transfer for the long-term Chelsea target is currently blocked, as reported by the club's sporting director. Chelsea has shown interest in Osimhen since autumn 2022, but Napoli has consistently demanded a premium price for the Nigerian international. Discussions have included the possibility of Romelu Lukaku joining Napoli as part of an overall deal, which would still require Chelsea to pay around £60m for Osimhen. Concerns about the overall cost of the deal have stalled negotiations.

Chelsea continue to remain interested in a loan deal for Victor Osimhen despite Napoli making it clear the striker's exit will be 'blocked'.

Napoli does not want to go below 100 million euros, an amount still considered too high by Chelsea. However, Chelsea is considering including players in the deal to reduce costs. One such player is Romelu Lukaku. There is a 10 million euro valuation difference between Napoli and Chelsea for the Belgian striker, but this gap might close over time.

Victor Osimhen is eager to start a new adventure. There is a gentlemen's agreement with Napoli's president De Laurentiis that they will part ways in the summer. However, no club is willing to pay the release clause, and Napoli will need to lower their demands to monetize.

Napoli have been insistent that Osimhen’s €130 million release clause be matched if he is to be sold. Chelsea have shown interest but have so far been put off making a bid due to the high price. Napoli appear now to be willing to drop their price to around €100m.

Chelsea are set to drop out of the running for Osimhen. Napoli hope to complete the sale of Victor Osimhen as soon as possible. The market around the Nigeria striker is blocked, with the interested clubs having no intention of paying the amount in the termination clause.

The high figure set by Napoli as Osimhen's termination clause makes the move impossible for Chelsea. Furthermore, the Blues have no intention of including Lukaku in an exchange with the Nigerian, but would prefer to sell him permanently in an unrelated deal. The transfer has therefore practically fallen through, with Napoli having to look elsewhere for new buyers for Osimhen.
