Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly reached an agreement on a €350,000-a-week contract with Chelsea. This news comes from UEFA-accredited sports journalist Oma Akatugba, who shared that Osimhen initially requested €500,000 a week to make the move.
However, Akatugba noted that the deal is not finalized, as Saudi Arabian clubs are also interested in Osimhen and are offering even more money. In a post on X on Thursday, Akatugba wrote,
“The Victor Osimhen transfer saga seems to be leaning toward a move to Chelsea. According to my sources—not Victor or anyone from his camp—as of 11 p.m. last night, he agreed to a weekly wage of €350,000 with Chelsea. Initially, he sought €500,000 per week, but Chelsea persuaded him to accept the lower figure.”
He added, “Chelsea fans shouldn’t celebrate just yet, as this drama is far from over. The Saudi clubs are still in the race and are offering even more money.”
