Saturday, August 31, 2024 - Victor Osimhen’s much-anticipated transfer to Chelsea has fallen through, just hours before the summer transfer window slammed shut.
The Nigerian forward and the Premier League
club were unable to reach an agreement, leaving the highly sought-after
striker’s future in serious doubt.
The breakdown of the Chelsea deal came with just two hours left on the clock,
dashing hopes of seeing Osimhen don the blue jersey this season. In another
blow, Osimhen's potential move to Saudi Arabia also fell apart, as Al Ahli, a
key contender for his signature, opted to sign Brentford’s Ivan Toney on
deadline day instead.
Adding to the uncertainty, the collapse of
the Chelsea move has reportedly strained Osimhen's relationship with his
current club, Napoli. According to transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, if no new
bids materialize before the Saudi Pro League's transfer window closes, Osimhen
faces the grim prospect of being frozen out of Napoli’s first-team squad.
