This comes weeks after Calender debunked news linking the 25-year-old striker with a loan deal to the Premier League giants.
However, his recent appearance at Stamford Bridge during Chelsea’s final preseason game against Inter Milan has reignited speculations of a potential move to the six-time league champions.
Chelsea’s interest amid Osimhen transfer saga
Several elite European teams have expressed interest in Osimhen, with Chelsea being one of the most consistent suitors.
The Super Eagles star’s standout performances for Napoli played a crucial role in their Serie A title win in the 2022-2023 season, making him a highly sought-after target in the transfer market.
With new ownership at the helm, Chelsea has demonstrated a readiness to invest heavily in top talent, and Osimhen perfectly aligns with the profile of the player they want to bring in.
However, it is important to note that there could be a number of reasons for the agent’s presence at Stamford Bridge, and a deal is not imminent at this stage.
Victor Osimhen is keen on leaving Naples this summer, and Napoli are looking to bring in Romelu Lukaku as a replacement.
According to reports from Football London, the Super Eagles forward handed in a transfer request to leave Napoli this summer.
This comes after he was left out of Antonio Conte’s matchday squad for a Coppa Italia clash with Modena on Saturday.
