Osimhen’s Chelsea Move Gains Traction After Lukaku’s Transfer
Victor Osimhen’s potential transfer to Chelsea is gaining traction following the confirmed move of Romelu Lukaku to Napoli. Reports suggest that Chelsea has agreed to Napoli’s €30 million offer for Lukaku, which clears a path for the Nigerian striker’s potential transfer to the London club. With Lukaku now undergoing a medical before his Serie A switch, Chelsea is in a better position to pursue Osimhen, who has been impressive in Italy.
The departure of Lukaku opens up significant salary space for Chelsea, which could help them meet Osimhen’s wage demands despite previous financial fair play concerns. Although it’s still uncertain if Chelsea can meet Napoli’s asking price for Osimhen, Lukaku’s exit increases the likelihood that Osimhen’s future with Napoli is uncertain. The football community eagerly anticipates the outcome as the summer transfer window approaches its end.
Al-Nassr coach Stefano Pioli has revealed why captain Cristiano Ronaldo missed their Saudi Pro League match against Al-Taawoun on Friday. Ronaldo was sidelined due to a cold as Al-Nassr settled for a 1-1 draw at home. Otávio and R. Martínez scored to earn a point for both teams at Al-Awwal Park.
After the game, Pioli explained that Ronaldo’s absence was health-related. Al-Nassr currently sit fourth in the league with 64 points from 32 matches, having already missed out on the title after Al-Ittihad were crowned champions. Their next fixture is against Al-Khaleej on Wednesday.
