Victor Osimhen nears Chelsea move with reported €350,000 weekly wage agreement
Super Eagles and Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly close to joining Chelsea after agreeing to a weekly wage of €350,000.
Nigerian journalist Oma Akatugba revealed that Osimhen, who initially demanded €500,000 per week, has agreed to a reduced figure after negotiations with the London club. This development marks a significant step forward in the long-standing transfer saga between Chelsea and Napoli.
Reports suggest that Napoli has accepted Chelsea’s offer for the Nigerian star, bringing the potential move closer to completion. However, with the transfer window nearing its end, Osimhen’s personal agreement remains a critical factor, as he has held firm on his salary expectations.
The situation remains uncertain, as big-money clubs, particularly Al Ahli from Saudi Arabia, continue to pursue Osimhen with competitive offers that could rival or even exceed Chelsea’s terms. While the striker’s agreement with Chelsea represents progress, the possibility of a last-minute twist cannot be ruled out.
As the transfer window draws to a close, Chelsea fans will be eagerly awaiting final confirmation, while remaining cautious given the fluid nature of the negotiations and the continued interest from other clubs.
