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 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.
