Victor Osimhen’s personal god, which the Igbo refer to as Chi, seems to be alive more than ever before as Chelsea have renewed interest in him.
The Super Eagles and Napoli player is a globally top-rated star but his limelight has been embattled in recent months.
Apart from suffering the backlash of his verbal attack on the Super Eagles’ former coach, Finidi George, Napoli have pushed him aside since he has decided to leave.
Advances he has been getting are not commiserate to his star-tus; hence, he and his manager have rejected most of such.
The 25-year-old has scored 76 goals in 133 appearances for the Serie A outfit and played a key role in the 2022/2023 season, scoring 26 goals in 32 league appearances as Napoli won the title.
There is, however, light at the end of the tunnel for the hero in lull as Chelsea have reportedly held further talks with Napoli to reach an agreement over the player’s wages.
This comes after Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli submitted an initial bid of £55million for Osimhen.
According to Mail Online, Chelsea’s preferred option regarding a deal for Osimhen is a loan with an obligation to buy, rather than an outright purchase.
Napoli and Osimhen have indicated that they may be willing to lower their demands so that a deal can go through before the end of the window.
On Wednesday, Chelsea held further talks with Napoli striker Victor Osimhen to reach an agreement over the player’s wages.
