Victor Osimhen, Napoli’s star striker, is on the brink of realizing his Premier League dream, with reports confirming his imminent move to Chelsea.
The Nigerian forward has reportedly agreed to a weekly wage of €350,000, a figure slightly below his initial demand of €500,000 per week.
With the transfer window closing in just 48 hours, Osimhen has opted for a deal that meets Chelsea’s terms, even though it falls €150,000 short of his original request.
This agreement marks a significant breakthrough in the negotiations between Chelsea and Napoli, which have been ongoing for weeks. It is believed that Napoli has finally accepted Chelsea’s offer for the highly sought-after striker.

Napoli, keen to finalize the deal, is open to various transfer scenarios for Osimhen. Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain, once a contender for the striker, has turned its attention elsewhere, buoyed by a strong start to their season.
With the clock ticking, the football world watches closely to see where Victor Osimhen will land, as Chelsea moves closer to securing one of Europe’s top talents.
