Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen has agreed to a weekly wage of €350,000 offered by English Premier League, Chelsea, for his transfer from Napoli.
The new development is gradually leading to the conclusion of the age-long transfer saga of the Super Eagle’s star.
This was disclosed by UEFA-accredited Nigerian journalist, Oma Akatugba on his X handle on Thursday.
According to Akatugba, Osimhen earlier demanded €500,000 per week, but Chelsea negotiated the figure down to €350,000.
He, however, said that the deal is not yet wrapped up amid interest from the Saudi Arabian club, Al Ahli.
“The Victor Osimhen transfer saga seems to be leaning toward a move to Chelsea. According to my sources, not Victor or anyone from his camp, he agreed to a weekly wage of €350,000 with Chelsea.
“Initially, he sought €500,000 per week, but Chelsea persuaded him to accept the lower figure.
“However, Chelsea fans shouldn’t celebrate just yet, as this drama is far from over. The Saudi clubs are still in the race and are offering even more money,” Akatugba wrote on X.
Earlier reports suggested that the long transfer saga between the two clubs seems to be heading towards a conclusion, with Napoli reportedly accepting the London club’s offer to sign the Nigerian star.
