In a bold player-for-cash deal, Chelsea are said to be willing to give Napoli Christian Pulisic in exchange for Victor Osimhen.
The 24-year-old has been one of the champion players in Europe this season where he has led his side to the highest point of the Serie A table.
His 21 goals in the top division have helped Naples move 19 points clear, putting the team on track to win their first title since 1990.
He has also gotten Napoli into the Champions League quarterfinals, where they have a good chance of reaching the final on June 10.
The Nigerian international has also been linked to Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea. He is worth more than £100 million.
Be that as it may, the Blues are hoping to gain a sudden advantage over their Head Association rivals by offering American winger, Pulisic.
Pulisic left Borussia Dortmund for Stamford Bridge in a deal worth around £58 million, but he hasn’t been consistent in England.
According to an Italian media outlet, Chelsea may use the 24-year-old as bait, and Chelsea owner Todd Boehly may also offer Napoli money.
Despite this, the report did not specify how much Chelsea would be willing to give up in exchange for Pulisic. What’s more, there is no sign whether Napoli would be ready to acknowledge such an arrangement.
However, Chelsea have identified Osimhen as the “right profile” to lead their line and are determined to lure him away from Italy.
After declaring that playing in England is his “dream,” Osimhen has made it clear that he intends to do so in the future.
He stated, ” Playing in one of the world’s top five leagues, Serie A, is an incredible experience for me.
The Premier League is widely regarded as the best and strongest league in the world. I’m currently playing in the Italian Serie A, one of the best leagues in the world. “I’m working so hard to make sure that I achieve my dream of playing in the Premier League someday. However, as I previously stated, it is a process, and all I want to do is maintain this momentum and perform well.
