Chelsea not ready to sign €150million player in January as the Blues expected to sign him next summer

According to Fichajes via the Hard Tackle, Chelsea will not make a move for the services of 24-year-old Napoli forward Victor Osimhen in January.

The Blues have been heavily linked with a move for the Nigerian international but it has now been claimed an offer for the striker won’t be submitted in January due to his €150million price tag.

Chelsea reportedly do not have the finances to sign Osimhen in January after spending heavily on new players last summer and also due to the reluctance of Napoli to sell their key striker in January.

Chelsea are expected to make a move for Osimhen next summer when the Nigerian international will have just one year left on his Napoli striker.
