According to rumours, if Chelsea wants to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli this summer, they will have to break their transfer record.
GiveMeSport estimates that the Blues will have to shell out more than £120 million to add one of the best strikers in the world to their roster this summer.
Osimhen led Napoli to the Serie A championship last year, solidifying his place among the best players in his field.
They also reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, so they will likely be disappointed that they weren’t in the final against Manchester City last weekend.
According to reports that surfaced yesterday, the 24-year-old is presently reluctant to sign a new contract with the Italian team, potentially opening the door for a sensational transfer in the near future.
Osimhen will charge a record transfer fee.
One of the teams most frequently linked with a move for him is the Blues. It has been asserted in the past that the club should make an effort to sign Mauricio Pochettino this summer.
The club will reportedly need to break their transfer record in order to sign him, according to a recent claim.
It hasn’t been done like this in less than a year. They spent close to £100 million to hire Enzo Fernandez in January.
Recently, the club has developed a reputation for its star signings failing to live up to the hype generated by their price and the expectations fans have of them.
The World Cup champion, on the other hand, definitely falls short of that standard. The performances of Fernandez were one bright spot to look back on despite the bad form that surrounded the team in what ended up being a disastrous campaign.
