Football — 05/07/2024

Victor Osimhen, who is open to signing a summer transfer to Chelsea despite receiving attention from Champions League semifinalist Paris Saint-Germain prior to the transfer market reopening, is one of the players that Chelsea is pursuing, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.

After thrashing West Ham United 5-0 last weekend, the Blues have scored 13 goals in a row during their previous three home games. Under Mauricio Pochettino, the team is very close to earning a berth in the European qualifying round for the next campaign.

Frank Khalid OBE on X: "I have to admit Victor Osimhen looks good in a Chelsea kit. https://t.co/qaFH0Sy5xk" / XSince leading a £4.25 billiоn takeover of Chelsea in May 2022, which ended Roman Abramovich’s trophy-laden stewardship, American businessman Todd Boehly has not been afraid to splash the cash. Despite an upturn in fortunes in the final third of the pitch, plans have been put in place to strengthen the forward line.

According to GMS sources, Osimhen is interested in joining Chelsea after being named as their top striker target. However, there are concerns that PSG, the Ligue 1 winners, may sign him before Chelsea since they would be able to provide Champions League action for Osimhen the next season.

Chelsea could sell £425k-p/w worth of talent to fund Osimhen moveDespite knowing they have a figҺt on their hands to sign the Nigerian international, the Blues have been linked to him ever since the winter transfer window closed. This is mainly because he has made 29 appearances this season, scoring 16 goals and dishing out four more assists to teammates.

Chelsea transfer news: Osimhen WILL NOT make a difference, says William GallasAs Kylian Mbappe prepares to leave the Parc des Princes at the end of his contract, PSG will have plenty of money to spend in the upcoming months. This will save the team up to £114 million annually in wage costs, and GMS sources understand that they are prepared to make Osimhen their talisman should he decide to move to the French capital.

If Les Parisiens weren’t in the running for his signature, Chelsea would be extremely confident that they could sign the frontman, who is currently earning around £255,000 a week. This is because Les Parisiens can consistently win titles due to their dominance in Ligue 1 and frequently advance far in the Champions League, while the west Londoners are in the midst of rebuilding.
