On Sunday, Samu Omorodion’s transfer to Chelsea fell through, leading the club to explore other options to strengthen their No. 9 position. As a result, the Blues are renewing their interest in Victor Osimhen, who is linked to Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, with a deal reportedly looking promising.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported this week that Chelsea are still interested in Osimhen. They’re aiming for a loan deal, but his current salary is a hurdle, so they’ll need to find a compromise to make it happen.
Despite the salary obstacle, both the player and the club could be on the verge of making a transfer occur. According to Sports Zone, with Omorodion’s transfer falling through, a new opportunity arises for Osimhen to finalize a deal with Chelsea.
Moreover, the outlet reveals that the deal is expected to go through. The Napoli star had initially agreed to join Paris, but there isn’t unanimous support for him at PSG.

In a recent interview with Il Corriere dello Sport, Antonio Caliendo, the agent for the Napoli star, voiced his bewilderment at why no team has made a serious effort to sign his client and boost their attack for the upcoming season.
“There’s so much negligence today,” Caliendo said. “Just look at how things are being handled. He’s worth €200 million, yet he’s stuck on the sidelines, waiting for who knows what.”
