Chelsea’s Osimhen Deal Collapses Over Salary
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca explained the club’s last-minute decision to abandon their pursuit of Napoli’s star striker, Victor Osimhen, on transfer deadline day. Although Chelsea had been searching for a striker all summer, serious negotiations with Osimhen only began in the final days of the window, leaving too little time to finalize a deal.
Maresca emphasized that the club is selective about signings, stating they must meet Chelsea’s conditions. He remained non-committal about revisiting the Osimhen situation in January, preferring to focus on the immediate future.
The talks reportedly broke down due to Chelsea’s salary offer, which was significantly lower than Osimhen’s current earnings at Napoli. While the striker earns over €10 million annually in Italy, Chelsea’s offer included only €4 million guaranteed, with up to €4 million in bonuses. This was far less than Osimhen’s current salary, and the deal fell through.
Manchester United have released a list of players who are expected to leave the club during the summer transfer window.
A statement from the club listed the players as Jadon Sancho, Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia, Sonny Aljofree, James Bailey, and Malachi Sharpe.
It was noted that Casemiro enjoyed a strong season at the club and built an excellent reputation during his time with the team.
Meanwhile, Tyrell Malacia made 50 first-team appearances for Manchester United during his spell at the club.
Liverpool have released a list of players who are confirmed to leave the club this summer.
The list includes star players Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, and Ibrahima Konaté. While some players are leaving, others have been offered new contracts.
The players who have been offered fresh terms include Kyle Kelly, Afolami Onanuga, Oliver O’Connor, Lucas Pitt, Ben Trueman, Matthew Wright, Prince Cisse, and Keyrol Figueroa.
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has urged Ademola Lookman to consider a move to Galatasaray.
It can be noted that Lookman recently completed a transfer to Atlético Madrid, and since then, many European clubs have shown interest in the player.
Osimhen then shared an encouraging message to the player, stating that he would be welcome at Galatasaray.
“We are waiting for you at Galatasaray. Come and be a part of this family.”
