Victor, identified as the primary transfer target for Chelsea, has strong ties to the club, having supported them during his upbringing in Lagos.

The Super Eagles striker is currently earning a substantial salary of approximately Nine Million Euros annually at Napoli, following his contract extension with the Serie A champions until June 2026. Victor is seeking an enhanced salary, a demand that Chelsea is capable of meeting.

Once the negotiations regarding the striker’s terms are settled, Chelsea may proceed to engage in discussions with Napoli. It’s worth noting that Napoli has reportedly set a 130 million Euros exit clause in Victor’s new contract.

In a competitive scenario, London-based rivals Arsenal are also prepared to offer a lucrative deal to Osimhen.
