REPORT: Omorodion will not stop us — Chelsea BACK in race for Victor Osimhen
Premier League giants Chelsea are said to have re-entered contention for Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.
The deal involved the transfer of Conor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid, and while the Englishman is already in Spain, Chelsea had not advanced much on personal terms with Omorodion, as the striker was at the Olympics.
Following the completion of the Olympics and Spain's gold medal win, the negotiations resumed, and it has now been said to have hit a halt. Unspecified complications in the fine print were said to have caused the breakdown in talks, and the move will no longer materialise.
What this means for Osimhen
According to reports, Chelsea will immediately pivot towards the signing of Osimhen from Napoli and have placed him as top priority.
As Pulse Sports reported, Chelsea always intended to sign Osimhen alongside Omorodion, and this new development could only mean an acceleration of the move for the Lagos-born striker.
Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano reports that Atletico Madrid are now in negotiations with Chelsea over sending Joao Felix the other way to ensure Gallagher's move to the Wanda Metropolitan.
