Chelsea Continues Pursuit of Osimhen

Chelsea continues to show interest in signing Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, amidst strong competition from major clubs, most notably Barcelona and Real Madrid, according to "TEAMtalk".

The same source indicated that Osimhen's representatives and intermediaries have once again started exploring opportunities for the Nigerian striker's transfer to top-tier European clubs, with Chelsea remaining on the list of clubs interested in acquiring him before the start of the summer transfer window.

Osimhen is having an outstanding season with Galatasaray, having scored 22 goals in 29 starting matches, which has solidified his position as one of the top strikers in Europe and reopened discussions about his transfer to elite clubs.

The site indicated that Galatasaray does not intend to easily part with the player's services, as they are demanding approximately 100 million euros.

Despite the Turkish club's insistence, the report indicated that preliminary talks and inquiries are ongoing behind the scenes regarding the player's future, with him continuing to be offered to several major European clubs.

Barcelona is also monitoring Osimhen's situation as part of their plans to compensate for Robert Lewandowski's departure, while Real Madrid continues to follow the player's developments. Meanwhile, Chelsea is holding onto its chance to sign the striker to strengthen its attacking line for the next season.
