According to trustworthy journalist Ben Jacobs on the Si Phillips Talks Chelsea Substack, securing Victor Osimhen’s signing this month is entirely unattainable due to Napoli’s recent contract renewal with the player, who now earns approximately £400k per week.

In the Si Phillips Talks Chelsea Substack, reputable journalist Ben Jacobs affirms that securing Victor Osimhen’s signing this month is entirely impossible. Napoli is not open to considering any offers at this time.

However, Chelsea persists in their efforts. The prospect of Osimhen’s transfer in the summer remains a hopeful scenario for both the Blues and Napoli.

Similar to the strategy employed with Christopher Nkunku, Chelsea finalized an agreement in December 2022, yet the player joined the Bridge in the summer of 2023.

Osimhen has appeared in 18 games for Napoli this season across various competitions, amassing eight goals and two assists.
