In the world of football transfer news, Fabrizio Romano, a reliable source in the industry, has brought to light a recent development involving a Nigerian player and Chelsea. According to Romano, a “new proposal” was put forward just two hours ago in negotiations, but unfortunately, there has been “no agreement” reached between the player and the West London club.
In an interview with WatchPlayback, Romano elaborated on the situation, revealing that the stumbling block in the negotiations was the disparity between the player’s current salary at Napoli and the offer from Chelsea. It seems that Chelsea could not match Osimhen’s Napoli salary, and the player was not willing to accept such a significant pay cut. As a result, Romano stated that the “deal [is] completely off”, indicating that the player will not be making the move to Chelsea at this time.
Interestingly, this news comes amidst other reports of Chelsea’s pursuit of additional attacking talent. It seems that despite the setback with the Nigerian player, Chelsea are still looking to strengthen their attacking options. As Romano aptly puts it, “Here we go”, suggesting that Chelsea are set to add another attacker to their already impressive squad.
Whether this new attacker will be able to fill the void left by the failed negotiations with the Nigerian player remains to be seen. It is clear that Chelsea are actively looking to bolster their attacking ranks, and fans will be eagerly anticipating any further developments in the coming days. The transfer window is always full of twists and turns, and this latest news involving Chelsea is just another example of the unpredictability of football transfer negotiations. Stay tuned for more updates as the situation continues to unfold.
