Just now, the British newspaper The Times published a story about "Mr. Football". Chelsea are on the verge of a fierce attack on Napoli striker Osimhen in the winter window, and Chelsea Football Club has also provided them with a significant transfer fund. If Napoli come up with a high enough **, Chelsea will not hesitate to pay the price. Now, there is contact between both sides, and it is ongoing.
The Blues management are still not satisfied with their current ranks. They think the centre-backs are good, but the strikers lack a consistent striker who can give them the ability to score. Lack of strikers has been Chelsea's biggest problem for almost half a season, and having a midfielder who can provide a steady stream of scoring ability for the team would make a huge difference to the overall quality of the team. In the transfer market, there is no better goalscorer than Napoli's Osimhen, who is the only top scorer who can poach him directly with sufficient funds.
Looking at the best strikers in the world, Haaland, Lewandowski, Harry Kane, almost all of them are players from major clubs. Such a player, even if you have money, may not be able to buy it. In today's football trend, the role of the center forward is becoming more and more prominent. Generally speaking, a strong team will have a solid core player to support the team's overall style of play. Therefore, the current center forward is worth a sky-high price, and 100 million may be fake. But Osimhen is different, he has been honed in the league for several seasons, and his quality is obvious to all. Osimhen has shown impressive quality in both the Premier League and the Champions League, so Chelsea don't need to worry about him being eliminated at all.
And Osimhen has said on several occasions that he wants to play in the Super League, so now Chelsea are more interested in him. The Neapolitans are happy to **, but theirs are very high. In the summer, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich both wanted Napoli's **, but the club's owner offered 200 million euros **, which discouraged the two clubs. And now, the Blues are once again looking to buy Chelsea. According to The Times, the Napoli club has provided him with €150 million**. Chelsea are not surprised by such a **, in fact they have plenty of money. As for Boehly, the owner behind the club, he doesn't care about spending money, he just wants his team to buy some good star players.
Chelsea's management are definitely not stingy when it comes to investing and there is nothing special about this edition. According to sources familiar with the situation, Boehly is mentally prepared to match the bid. Now the two clubs are still negotiating, and Chelsea are hoping that Napoli can keep ** down, otherwise the club will snatch Osimhen from them for 150 million euros.
Osimhen is a good striker, he has a lot of stamina, he can take the initiative on the field and also dominate on the counter-attack. As a central player, he can unleash Chelsea's strikers and provide passing opportunities for Chelsea's central flank. If we can get him, Chelsea will be a huge improvement. That's why they spend £150 million.
Interestingly, it would be even more interesting if Chelsea had poached Osimhen for €150 million in the winter window. In that case, the Spanish giants Barcelona will get a bigger benefit. Why?Barcelona's opponent was Napoli and it was a very lucky match. Osimhen is one of Napoli's most important players, and without him, Napoli's attacking system would collapse and their fighting power would be greatly weakened.
In a sense, Chelsea's purchase of Osimhen is tantamount to getting rid of a formidable opponent for Barcelona. It's a ripple effect. Do you think Chelsea want to buy Osimhen?
