Chelsea are reportedly willing to offer up one of the club's brightest talents to bring Victor Osimhen to the club.

The transfer drama surrounding Napoli's Victor Osimhen is set to rage on for the next few weeks at least.

Despite having a verbal agreement to leave the club this summer, no European team appears willing to pay his €130 million release clause.

Chelsea offer mouthwatering swap deal to sign Osimhen

According to transfer expert Rudy Galetti, Chelsea are still interested in making a deal happen, and are offering a package involving Cesare Casadei, Romelu Lukaku, and cash to sign the Nigerian striker.

Chelsea are also reportedly looking to offload Armando Broja and Trevoh Chalobah, but Napoli have shown no interest in either player.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have reportedly dropped out of the race for Osimhen, and Chelsea retain hopes that Napoli will accept a swap deal to make the transfer happen.
