Nigeria International Victor Osimhen and English Premiership giants Chelsea may have agreed personal terms on a deal to bring the Nigerian star to England during the summer.
The reigning African Footballer of the Year, Osimhen is expected to earn £250k per week and his transfer fee is believed to be about €150M.
Should the deal perfectly sealed, Chelsea would succeed in signing Osimhen ahead of Paris Saint German (PSG), who were neckdip to sign the Nigerian in the transfer market.
The Nigeria international signed a new contract at Napoli last December, until the end of the 2025-2026 season, but he is expected to depart the Diego Maradona Stadium at the end of the season.
Napoli are planning to use the money from the sale of their number 9 to rebuild the squad for next season.
Signing Osimhen can be done in the summer transfer window by activating his release clause said to be in the region of 120 million euros.
