Premier League side Chelsea have reportedly reached a pre-agreement to sign last season Serie A top scorer Victor Osimhen from Napoli.
According to TEAMtalk, Osimhen who recently signed a contract extension with Napoli with a release clause of £112m, will not be moving to Stamford Bridge in January but has agreed to pen a pr-contract deal with Chelsea this month before making the switch to Chelsea at the end of the season.
The 25-year-old Nigeria international has been phenomenal in the last two seasons where he helped Napoli win their first Serie A title in over three decades last season.
The African Player of the Year has also continued his brilliant form in the 2023/24 season, scoring seven goals in 13 league games this season. He has also grabbed two assists and remains a fan favourite at Napoli.
Chelsea has been very inconsistent this season and manager Mauricio Pochettino has been pushing the board to add more experienced players to his squad and has identified Osimhen as a perfect player to revive the team.
“The Napoli star man will not move this month – the pre-agreement is the only way that a deal will be agreed in this window,” as quoted by TEAMtalk.
