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.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
