Chelsea have decided to pay for Victor Osimhen 24, Napoli's buyout.
Chelsea is struggling with the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as its new manager. Despite paying huge amounts of money by recruiting Moises Caicedo, Cole Palmer, and Christopher Nkunku, Chelsea is still ranking 10th in the English Premier League.
The main reason is the poor performance of the strikers. Nicola Jackson, who invested 32 million pounds about 54 billion won, has scored seven goals, but she has shown great ups and downs. She has been criticized as she has scored only against weak teams. Armando Broja, who is a backup, also has only one goal in the league.
In the end, Chelsea decided to recruit a frontline striker and selected Osimhen as their top target.
Osimhen wore a Napoli jersey for the 2020-21 season for a fee of 70 million euros W100 billion, which was the club's highest at the time. Osimhen immediately boasted of his outstanding penetration and scoring ability as the team's key striker. With his move, he grew into a top-notch striker with a high RBI header.
Osimhen scored 26 goals and four assists in 32 league games last season, giving Napoli the first league trophy in 36 years. Although Osimhen's ranking dropped to ninth this season, he is the top scorer in 13 league games with seven goals.
Osimhen re-signed with Napoli last month. Napoli said the contract with Osimhen was extended until 2026. The existing contract period, which was until the summer of 2025, was extended by another year. 먹튀검증
However, Chelsea plans to pay for Osimhen's buyout so that negotiations can take place freely regardless of whether he renews his contract or not. The U.K.'s Football London reported on Wednesday that Chelsea has decided to invest 103 million pounds, known as Osimhen's buyout.
As his scoring ability has been proven, he plans to succeed in strengthening the front line through solid investments. Chelsea's buyout payment is scheduled to take place next summer.
