Chelsea has found itself in a difficult situation this summer. After tasking Todd Boehly with the decision to keep Mauricio Pochettino, he may also be struggling with the possible violations of financial fair play regulations that may prevent him from making any new signings this summer.
The squad undoubtedly needs strengthening in a number of different areas, with a widely-reported theory that they could go for some more attacking players. Although Nicolas Jackson’s 13 goals’ debut season is a great achievement, critics opine that he would have scored more with better finishing.
However, Nkunku has been struggling with multiple injuries while Armando Broja who is currently on loan to Fulham and Conor Gallagher, a midfielder who is at the club, might be among the players that the academy is likely to sell for a decent sum of money by the end of next season.
Osimhen expressed his desire for a Premier League transfer, stating,
“Of course one day, definitely but for now, I have other plans in my career that I am looking forward to. So when the time comes, everyone knows.”
In March, he reiterated his ambition, saying,
“I’m working so hard to make sure that I achieve my dream of playing in the Premier League someday but like I said, it’s a process and I just want to keep on this momentum and continue to do well.”
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis revealed his expectations for Osimhen’s destination, acknowledging,
“We already knew he would go to Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, or the Premier League.”
Considering Madrid’s potential move for Kylian Mbappe, a transfer to PSG seems more likely, given his high valuation. However, should Chelsea pursue Osimhen, they might hold an advantage over their competitors.

What is the latest update on Osimhen’s move to Chelsea?
To take into account these requirements, especially in the attack direction, Chelsea’s financial strategies should be brought in line with the new plan. With the sources claimed £111m cost of Osimhen, the figure must be undoubtedly beyond the range that expected.
While that would absolutely free up extra funds for them, as they would have to pay for loan fees and other demands, the person who signed could emphasize his desire to join Stamford Bridge and there may still be room for negotiation. Gazetta considers the case, stating that Osimhen favours Chelsea if he is to move to England.
Osimhen has said how much he likes the Premier League and has openly admitted it many times. He wants to move during this summer break. However, he pointed out in January that he might be open to a move to England considering the deal.
