Reportedly, Chelsea is strategizing early sales in the upcoming summer transfer window, eyeing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen and Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale as prime targets.
Chelsea’s financial strategy: Early sales for transfer targets
However, acquiring these notable players may pose a financial challenge for the Blues, who are nearing the limits of Financial Fair Play regulations. Hence, early player sales appear crucial to Chelsea’s transfer plans, according to Football Insider.
While the report doesn’t specify which players might be offloaded, it’s not difficult to speculate on a few who may not currently feature prominently in Mauricio Pochettino’s plans.
Chelsea to offload players
Chelsea appears to have ambitious plans, but it’s logical that they may need to offload some players to finance moves for top talents like Osimhen and Ramsdale.
The ease of signing Ramsdale from rival Arsenal remains uncertain. The Gunners’ goalkeeper has proven to be a solid player, serving as Mikel Arteta’s number one at the start of the season until summer loan signing David Raya took over.
Victor Osimhen’s potential impact
Meanwhile, Osimhen stands out as one of the top strikers globally, showcasing his prowess in Serie A. His potential arrival at Stamford Bridge could significantly bolster the team’s attacking options, addressing the shortage of talent in that area.
With his impressive performances, Victor Osimhen could elevate Pochettino’s side to greater heights, especially after relying on inconsistent Senegalese youngster Nicolas Jackson throughout a challenging season.
