NEW TALKS OPEN! Chelsea set to SIGN £60M New Striker! Sky Sports BREAKING Transfer News

Victor Osimhen's transfer to Chelsea is still being negotiated, with the Blues reportedly willing to sign him for over £100 million.

Here's the latest update:

- Transfer Status: Talks between Chelsea and Napoli are ongoing, with Chelsea pushing for a permanent transfer. Osimhen prefers a move to a European club and is reportedly hesitant to join the Saudi Pro League.

- Contract Demands: Osimhen's high salary demands are a major hurdle in the negotiations. He earns €11 million net per season and wants a similar deal from Chelsea. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano states that Osimhen is looking for a permanent transfer or a loan with an obligation to buy.

- Chelsea's Interest: Chelsea's owner, Todd Boehly, is keen on signing Osimhen, and the club has revived talks over a potential loan deal. However, the Blues' wage structure might be a challenge in finalizing the transfer.

- Competition: Al Ahli has also shown interest in signing Osimhen and has agreed to pay him £33.6 million per year tax-free. However, Napoli's preference is a permanent deal or a loan with an obligation to buy.

- Latest Developments: There are no recent updates on the transfer negotiations, but it's clear that Chelsea is still working towards signing Osimhen. The transfer window's final days will likely determine the outcome of this potential move.
