Chelsea target angry with current club, believes proposed transfer to the Blues is unlikely to happen - Reports
Victor Osimhen is reportedly angry with Napoli as he believes they are making it difficult for Chelsea and Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli. The Nigerian star wants to leave Naples and is holding talks with the two clubs.
As per a report by Loic Tanzi, Napoli have changed the goalpost with Al-Ahli. The Italian club have asked for more fees from the Saudi Arabian side after reports of their agreement with Ivan Toney came to light.
The striker also believes that the move to Chelsea is 'very difficult' as the personal terms are yet to be agreed. Moreover, the Blues have not struck an agreement with the Italian side as well despite just hours left in the window.
Osimhen's agent stated earlier this month that he was not planning to let the striker be moved around like a property. He posted on X:
"Osimhen is a Napoli player, with a contract recently renewed with mutual satisfaction. He made history and when there were major offers (also this year) we always accepted the club's decisions."
"As I said, it is not a package to be shipped far away to make room for new prophets. Victor was elected African footballer of the year, eighth at the Ballon d'Or, he still has so much to do in Europe. There is need respect and balance."
Al-Ahli had agreed a €80 million deal with Napoli, as per Fabrizio Romano.
Chelsea is Victor Osimhen's dream move, claims John Obi Mikel
John Obi Mikel has stated that Victor Osimhen is waiting for a move to Chelsea as he wants to emulate Didier Drogba. He added that the striker is pushing for the move and said via GOAL:
"We want somebody who can finish, score goals, the tap-ins. Someone like Erling Haaland. That's something Victor Osimhen will bring to Chelsea. I hope that Chełsea fans will finally see him come to the club. I'll make sure I send him those texts messages and calls, making sure Chełsea is his top priority!"
"But it seems like he loves the club and wants to come to Chełsea. I'm sure he has all the big clubs wanting to sign him. I think if we can secure his signature it would be fantastic for the club."
"He's somebody who will get us goals and that's something that we need right now. A fantastic guy, fantastic human being and I really do hope he comes to the club and I'll try my best to make sure that happens. Didier is also speaking to him, sharing his own ideas and what the club means to us. We all want to see Victor come to the club."
Chelsea want a loan deal with an obligation to buy. However, the striker has no plans to move on loan and wants a permanent move.
