Chelsea is in prime position to sign Samu Omorodion from Atletico Madrid following Conor Gallagher’s agreement to join the Spanish club. The Blues are also considering adding Napoli star Victor Osimhen to Enzo Maresca’s squad this summer.
Atletico could allow Omorodion to leave for around £40 million if they secure Julian Alvarez, with Chelsea as the frontrunner. Chelsea’s initial £27.4 million offer for the 20-year-old Omorodion was rejected, but they remain keen. Omorodion, who scored nine goals and provided one assist while on loan at Deportivo Alaves last season, helped them to a 10th-place La Liga finish.
Chelsea’s pursuit of Omorodion hasn’t deterred their interest in Osimhen. Napoli might sign Romelu Lukaku if they lose Osimhen to Chelsea, who aim to secure both players to address their lack of a right-footed winger. Meanwhile, Chelsea is finalizing Conor Gallagher’s £33.7 million transfer to Atletico, with Chelsea retaining matching rights for any future sale.
