Victor Osimhen to Chelsea seems very unrealistic – Talk Chelsea

Chelsea have been named as certainly one of solely two golf equipment who can afford, or who will go for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer time.

Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Italia was interviewed this week and the figures he named to prize the striker away from Napoli this summer time are simply pure insanity.

He claims that €150million is the preliminary request Napoli have for Osimhen, however €120-130m plus bonuses might be sufficient. In kilos that equates to an preliminary £130.2m, or £104.1m – £113m plus bonuses because the decrease finish charge. Both method, will probably be a record-breaking deal.

Di Marzio goes on to say that the one two golf equipment within the Premier League that may afford him are Chelsea and Manchester United. He guidelines out different golf equipment resembling Bayern Munich.

Chelsea appear to be prioritising a striker, in addition to a quantity six and a goalkeeper. However do they pay one other plus £100m on one single participant this month and put themselves in much more threat with FFP guidelines underneath menace of being damaged?

Additionally, ought to a significant charge like that be spent on a striker over a midfielder? For me it’s easy, no it shouldn’t. And if we’re solely making one ‘massive’ signing by way of charges, then it completely must be a real defensive midfielder.

It’s so necessary that they get this proper in the summertime. I’m actually not ruling out Chelsea making one other main signing within the area that Enzo Fernandez arrived in, removed from it. However realistically I simply can not see us paying plus £100m for a participant this summer time. I feel we are able to try this and it’s potential, however I simply can’t see it occurring and see it as very unrealistic.

However for me, if we’re spending massive, then it fairly merely MUST be on Declan Rice. I feel we are able to wait it out, and even when that must be with Romelu Lukaku and Armando Broja subsequent season, for one more elite degree striker to be obtainable subsequent summer time. Think about how good an Evan Ferguson from Brighton can be after one other season for instance? Or wait out on Ivan Toney’s ban.

Don’t get me incorrect, I’d be over the moon of we signed Osimhen, however the implications would concern me, and I’m additionally extra desperate to prioritise a defensive midfielder. And likewise, I simply don’t assume Chelsea can be ready to pay what Napoli need for him.
