According to sources close to the matter, Nigerian journalist Oma Akatugba revealed that Osimhen originally requested a weekly wage of €500,000.
However, Chelsea managed to negotiate the figure down to €350,000. Reports indicate that the long-running transfer negotiations between Chelsea and Napoli are nearing a conclusion, with Napoli said to have accepted Chelsea’s offer for the Nigerian star.
Despite this progress, the transfer saga isn’t over yet. Osimhen’s agreement on personal terms remains crucial, and his reluctance to lower his salary has left the door open for other potential suitors.
Notably, Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli is still in the race, offering competitive terms that could rival Chelsea’s deal.
While it seems likely that Osimhen will join Chelsea, fans should remain cautious. The situation remains fluid, with the possibility of unexpected developments as the transfer window closes.
The interest from Saudi Arabian clubs, particularly Al Ahli, means that Osimhen’s future is still uncertain, and a move to Chelsea is not yet guaranteed.
