Chelsea, in particular, are believed to be keen on signing Osimhen. The Blues are in need of a new striker following the departure of Romelu Lukaku, and Osimhen is seen as a potential long-term replacement.

However, Napoli are also in talks with a Saudi Arabian club over a potential deal for Osimhen. The unnamed club is reportedly willing to pay a transfer fee of €80 million, plus a significant signing-on bonus for the player.

Osimhen is said to be interested in the move to Saudi Arabia, as it would make him one of the highest-paid players in the world.

Chelsea’s Chances of Hijacking Deal

Despite Napoli’s talks with the Saudi club, Chelsea still believe they have a chance of hijacking the deal.

The Blues are confident that they can offer Osimhen a more competitive sporting project than the Saudi club.

Additionally, Chelsea are willing to pay a higher transfer fee than the Saudi club.

Conclusion

Victor Osimhen’s future remains uncertain, with Chelsea and the Saudi club both vying for his signature.

Chelsea are hopeful of hijacking the deal, but Napoli are likely to hold out for the best possible offer.

The transfer saga is expected to continue for the remainder of the summer, with Osimhen’s decision likely to hinge on the sporting project and financial package on offer.
