Chelsea are ready to break their transfer record to acquire the services of 24-year-old Napoli ace Victor Osimhen.
According to a report by Fichajes, Chelsea are keen on having Victor Osimhen in their ranks. The 24-year-old Napoli striker has been on their radar for a while now, and they seem all to set shatter records to sign him from the Italian club.
Victor Osimhen: One of the Most Highly Sought-After Strikers
Osimhen has been in sensational form since joining Napoli in the summer of 2020. He has gone from strength to strength over the years and currently, he is amongst the best forwards in world football. The 24-year-old played an integral role in helping the Partenopei win their first league title in three decades.
He has continued in a similar fashion this term. The Nigerian international’s consistent performances and his impressive numbers in front of goal have resulted in a lot of interest from across Europe. While multiple clubs are keen on having him in their ranks, Chelsea are ready to break the bank to land him at the club.
Chelsea Ready To Smash Their Transfer Record For Osimhen
The Blues want to reinforce their attack in the upcoming winter transfer window, and they are willing to do everything in their power to sign the 24-year-old. The West London club have struggled to score goals at times in the ongoing season. But their summer signing Nicolas Jackson has been consistent enough.
As a result, Mauricio Pochettino is keen on bringing in an attacking reinforcement. The Blues want to compete on all fronts, and they need a striker to challenge the very best in the league. They have been keeping a close eye on Osimhen for a while and have now decided to go all out to sign him in the winter.
Chelsea are ready to break their transfer record to sign him. They are willing to pay more than the €121 million that they shelled out to acquire the services of Enzo Fernandez in January. While the West Londoners are ready to put forward that big an offer, it will be interesting to see how they will make it happen with Financial Fair Play regulations in place.
