Chelsea have not given up on the Victor Osimhen chase despite the Nigeria striker completing his loan move to Galatasaray on Tuesday.
According to football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the London club are still interested in the 25-year-old and are open to resuming talks in the future.
Chelsea made a late attempt to sign Osimhen during the final hours of the summer transfer window, but their offer was way off the Nigerian’s terms.
“The appreciation in Osimhen from top clubs around Europe remains. Galatasaray will cover his salary, so for Napoli this loan is a good solution, but the appreciation of several clubs, especially Chelsea, remains,” Romano said.
“Chelsea, in the final hour of the summer transfer window, tried to make something happen. The appreciation remains. Let’s see what happens with this option. But what I can tell you for sure is that their appreciation for Osimhen as a player remains,” Romano added.
