Chelsea Football Club now focuses on Super Eagle striker, Victor Osimhen after an unsuccessful attempt with Samu Omorodion.
This shift in focus highlights Chelsea’s ongoing efforts to enhance their frontline options as they look to solidify their attacking capabilities.
The Blues had initially agreed on a deal worth around €35 million for the 20-year-old Omorodion, who is a Spanish youth international but remains eligible to play for Nigeria.
The transfer also involved Conor Gallagher heading to Atletico Madrid, with the English midfielder already in Spain.
However, negotiations with Omorodion stalled due to his involvement in the Olympics, where Spain secured a gold medal.
Following the conclusion of the Olympics, talks between Chelsea and Omorodion resumed but reportedly hit an impasse due to undisclosed complications in the final terms of the agreement. As a result, the deal is now off the table.
With the Omorodion move now in doubt, Chelsea are said to have turned their attention to signing Victor Osimhen.
Victor Osimhen, a standout player in Serie A, has garnered significant attention for his remarkable skills, pace, and goal-scoring ability.
Chelsea’s pursuit of Osimhen reflects their ambition to remain competitive in both domestic and European competitions.
The 24-year-old has trained with the team during preseason but has not featured in any matches.
He was also excluded from Napoli’s squad for their first official match of the season, fuelling speculation that his departure is imminent.
