Reports suggest that Chelsea, along with Arsenal and PSG, are among the clubs willing to meet Osimhen's £77 million valuation.
According to reports from Italy, Chelsea are gearing up to make a substantial bid in the summer transfer window to secure the services of Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen.
Il Mattino, an Italian publication reported that the Blues are prepared to offer as much as £77 million in an attempt to sign a top striker heading into next season.
Chelsea's Pursuit of a Striker
Chelsea has long been linked with addressing their striker position in the upcoming transfer window, as they have yet to make a significant investment in that role.
Despite several names being linked with the move, it has been consistently reported that one player stands atop their wishlist.
Victor Osimhen, although not reaching the same heights as last season, remains highly regarded as one of the premier strikers in the game.
Recognising his abilities in front of goal, former Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun lauded Osimhen as 'world-class,' indicating the high esteem in which he is held among his peers.
Osimhen's recent contract extension with Napoli, which introduced a release clause, suggests his availability at the end of the campaign.
Chelsea's Bid for Osimhen
Reports suggest that Chelsea, along with Arsenal and PSG, are among the clubs willing to meet Osimhen's £77m valuation.
However, Chelsea's ability to secure such a signing likely hinges on their qualification for European football next season.
One potential route to achieving this could be through the FA Cup, where Chelsea find themselves just two games away from lifting the trophy at Wembley.
However, the Blues are aware that they have a mountain to climb as both Manchester sides stands as a formidable challenge on their path to FA Cup glory.
