Despite worries about breaking the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability regulations, Victor Osimhen is apparently on good terms with Chelsea, the Premier League’s biggest team. Chelsea is reportedly closing in on Osimhen.
To improve their attacking capabilities, the Blues are eager to recruit Osimhen since they are looking for a clinical striker.
The top sensation from Nigeria has apparently agreed to personal terms with Chelsea, according to Italian journalist Rudy Galetti. He is eager to join Stamford Bridge during the next summer transfer window.
Osimhen, who spent over €75 million to join Napoli, the Italian champions, from Lille in the French Ligue, might now fetch between €120 and €130 million because of his strong play in Naples.
Osimhen’s arrival might greatly increase Chelsea’s attacking options, particularly in light of their recent goal-scoring problems despite large summer squad investments.
Concerns around Financial Fair Play rules and whether Chelsea will have to let go of players before finalizing a deal for Osimhen, however, continue to exist.
Chelsea will need to closely monitor their financial situation in order to allay these worries. The club is anticipated to release its 2022–2023 season financial statements shortly, and projections indicate they will miss the Profit and Sustainability criterion by £37 million.
Conor Gallagher has been linked to several teams, including Tottenham Hotspur, who are apparently interested in signing him. A move away from Stamford Bridge may cost up to £50 million.
Chelsea’s finances can be greatly improved by selling academy graduates like Gallagher, who bring in pure profit for the team and have no transfer costs.
Chelsea might have to let go of two or three more players in addition to Gallagher in order to sign Osimhen without endangering their financial security.
