The outlet believes Chelsea never gave up on Osimhen after their pursuit last summer. Instead, they only postponed their offer for him. Enzo Maresca’s side are set to re-enter the race for the 2023 Serie A winner, but their chances will be further boosted if they finish in the Premier League top four. The Blues are currently 4th, although they’re just a point above Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. It is believed Napoli are requesting a fee in the range of €75m to let go of the 2023 Serie A Golden Boot, With several clubs set to fight for Osimhen’s signature in the summer, every party interested in the former VfL Wolfsburg will need to bring their best foot forward. The lethal finisher was quizzed about his future destination after Nigeria’s win last night, but he jokingly fled the scene.
