Victor Osimhen’s Insane Salary Demands Leave Chelsea in Shock – What Happens Next?
As the summer transfer window approaches its final days, the situation surrounding Victor Osimhen has taken an unexpected turn. The Nigerian striker, who has been linked with a move away from Napoli, reportedly demanded an astronomical salary from Chelsea that even the English club deems excessive. Consequently, Chelsea has pulled back from negotiations while continuing its search for a new forward. With time running out, Osimhen’s future remains uncertain.
Osimhen’s staggering salary demand puts Chelsea off
Throughout the summer, Osimhen’s potential departure from Napoli has been a topic of much speculation. The Nigerian international currently remains with the Italian club, which has recently secured the signing of Romelu Lukaku, who has reunited with coach Antonio Conte in southern Italy. As the days pass, Osimhen’s situation appears increasingly complicated, especially given earlier reports suggesting he was close to a move to PSG.
However, while PSG seems to have stepped back from pursuing Osimhen, it was Chelsea that emerged as a potential suitor in recent weeks. According to reports from The Sun, the striker’s salary demands have left Chelsea’s management taken aback. The former LOSC forward is reportedly seeking a weekly salary of €590,000, which would position him as the highest-paid player in the Premier League, surpassing stars like Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland, and Mohamed Salah. This translates to approximately €2.36 million monthly or €28.3 million annually—an outrageous figure that even Chelsea is unwilling to accommodate.
Chelsea explores alternative options
In light of Osimhen’s exorbitant requests, Chelsea is reportedly shifting its focus to other candidates for their striking needs, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin from Everton emerging as a viable option. Meanwhile, Osimhen, who was anticipated to leave Napoli, will have to wait a bit longer to resolve his situation. Should PSG choose to re-enter the race for the Nigerian forward, they may find the competition to be less intense than expected.
