Chelsea Eyes Alternatives to Victor Osimhen Amid High Wage

Chelsea are reportedly considering two alternatives to Victor Osimhen due to the striker’s high wage demands.

The Premier League club has been eager to sign a top striker, with Victor Osimhen being a long-standing target. However, his request to leave Napoli this summer and his hefty salary demands — reportedly around £500,000 a week, which would make him the highest-paid player in the Premier League — have caused Chelsea to explore other options.

Talks with Osimhen’s representatives have been ongoing for weeks, but there has been no agreement yet. With Paris Saint-Germain dropping their interest in the Nigerian international, Chelsea have shifted their focus to other attackers.
