Chelsea Drops Osimhen chase

Chelsea decides to completely give up on their chase of Napoli star Victor Osimhen, switching focus to Atletico Madrid’s Samu Omorodion.

The Blues had been in close contact with the Partenopei for a number of weeks now as the two clubs discussed a possible swap deal involving Romelu Lukaku and a hefty lump sum of cash. Negotiations proved complicated and slow, causing some anxiety in Campania.

Napoli are still seriously targeting Lukaku, regardless of the Osimhen situation, as they look to keep new coach Antonio Conte happy, but need to sell the Nigerian striker  before they can invest in a new centre forward.

Gianluca Di Marzio details how Chelsea have decided to entirely move away from Osimhen as they switch focus to Omorodion, pushing to agree a deal for the Atletico Madrid talent.

Paris Saint-Germain are still contenders for the Napoli striker and Arsenal could return to the fray too. There is interest in Saudi Arabia, but the 25-year-old is not convinced by the idea.
