Rumor: Osimhen’s potential brief stint at Chelsea

Victor Osimhen, the striker for Napoli, might have a short spell at Chelsea.

Discussions are underway between the Serie A team and the Blues for a potential swap deal.

As reported by The Athletic, Napoli is interested in securing Romelu Lukaku on a permanent basis.

Nevertheless, they are open to the idea of allowing Osimhen to move to Chelsea on a year-long loan arrangement.

The loan deal will include a possible buyout option.

Despite having a €130 million release clause in his contract, Osimhen has not attracted many offers this summer.

Initially, Paris Saint-Germain was in negotiations to acquire the Nigerian striker, but it seems that the talks have fallen through.
