As per reports from Football Transfers, Todd Boehly is unwavering in his determination to secure Osimhen for Chelsea in the upcoming January transfer window, aiming to bolster the team’s struggling attack. Despite uncertainties surrounding Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules, Chelsea is ready to shatter their transfer record to bring Osimhen on board, demonstrating their strong intent to acquire the Nigerian star.
While Arsenal has shown interest in Osimhen, it’s improbable that they would meet the lofty demands set by the current Serie A champions. Napoli’s President, Aurelio De Laurentiis, holds an optimistic view regarding Osimhen’s future with the club, expressing confidence in the player’s commitment to a new contract. This stance remains despite the TikTok controversy that strained relations between Osimhen and the club.
With Osimhen’s contract set to expire in 2025, Napoli faces a ticking clock. Should a new contract not materialize by summer, the club might be compelled to sell him at a reduced rate to avoid losing him on a free transfer in 2025.
Chelsea, keeping a close watch on developments, is even contemplating the sale of Armando Broja to generate funds for Osimhen’s hefty £100 million ($126m) price tag. Osimhen, who scored 26 league goals leading Napoli to their first Scudetto in 33 years last season, etched his name in history as the first African player to clinch the Serie A Golden Boot. He is set to feature against Juventus on Friday night in a Serie A encounter.
