Chelsea Transfer Collapse: Blues Eye Stunniung New Target After Omorodion Deal Falls Through
Chelsea’s hopes of signing Atletico Madrid forward Samu Omorodion have been dashed, but the Blues are wasting no time in turning their attention to a stunning new target, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
The Nigeria international was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea reportedly willing to part with a significant sum to bring him to the Premier League. However, the deal has collapsed, and the Blues are now looking elsewhere.
Enter Victor Osimhen, the Napoli star who has been on Chelsea’s radar for some time. Romano claims that the Italian club are willing to lower their asking price due to their failure to qualify for European competition this season.
Osimhen was a key player for Napoli last season, scoring 26 goals to help his side win Serie A. His impressive form has made him a sought-after target, and Chelsea may see him as the perfect replacement for Romorodion.
But that’s not all – Romano also suggests that Chelsea are discussing a potential return for Joao Felix, who enjoyed a loan spell at the club last season. The Portugal international struggled to make an impact in the Premier League, but his experience at Barcelona last season suggests he may be ready to prove himself in England once again.
The prospect of Felix returning to Chelsea is an intriguing one, especially given the Blues’ need for attacking depth. His pace and skill on the wing could be a valuable asset for Thomas Tuchel’s side, and his return could be a key factor in Chelsea’s push for a top-four finish.
So, what’s the next move for Chelsea? Will they succeed in signing Osimhen and Felix, or will they opt for other targets? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – the Blues are gearing up for a busy transfer window.
