Reports have claimed that Napoli striker Victor Osimhen will definitely be on the move before his contract runs out with the club in 2025.

According to the Daily Mail, the Serie A side believe they cannot risk losing out on a major payday by not selling him, and therefore feel they have to part ways while his contract is still active.

Chelsea are one of a number of elite sides who have previously been linked with bringing in the striker, whose stats speak for themselves for Napoli this season.

The Serie A side are threatening to run away with their league already, and also sit pretty in the Champions League following victory a few weeks’ ago.

That position is one which Chelsea fans only look at with envy. Tonight will determine whether they make it through to the next round of the Champions League as they look to overturn a first leg deficit to Borussia Dortmund.

Osimhen will leave by 2025

They will also look in envy when taking into account their goalscoring woes. They haven’t scored more than one goal in a game since December, but that’s what they’ll need to do if they are to advance at Stamford Bridge tonight.

Osimhen has received plenty of praise for his displays this season, with his value being predicted to be around £133m.

Now, the Daily Mail have claimed that Napoli will be keen to cash in on the striker before his contract expires and he is allowed to leave for free.

With the price quoted likely to be another club-record for Chelsea, it is questionable whether they will spend that money so soon after smashing it to sign Enzo Fernandez.

They will also need to contend with the incoming arrival of Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig, who is joining at the end of the season.
