Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen has reportedly agreed to a €350,000 contract with Chelsea.
This is according to Oma Akatugba, a UEFA-accredited sports journalist.
Akatugba claims that Osimhen initially requested €500,000 per week to make the switch. He, however, stated that the deal is not yet complete, citing interest from Saudi Arabia.
Akatugba wrote on X on Thursday: “The Victor Osimhen transfer saga seems to be leaning toward a move to Chelsea.
“According to my sources — not Victor or anyone from his camp — as of 11 pm. last night, he agreed to a weekly wage of €350,000 with Chelsea.
“Initially, he sought €500,000 per week, but Chelsea persuaded him to accept the lower figure.
“However, Chelsea fans shouldn’t celebrate just yet, as this drama is far from over. The Saudi clubs are still in the race and are offering even more money.”
