Famous Italian transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano recently disclosed the latest developments regarding the transfer of Napoli striker Viktor Osmeen. According to him, Premier League giants Chelsea and Saudi club Jeddah National are currently in fierce competition for Osmeen's transfer, making them the only two clubs actively involved in the negotiations.
Chelsea, for their part, have identified Osmeen as their main prey in this summer's transfer market and have put together a list of four potential reinforcements, with the Nigerian international at the top of the list. The club's senior management and Osmeen's agent team are in advanced talks to try to agree on a transfer fee and personal terms. However, Romano pointed out that Osmeen himself did not intend to make concessions on salary requirements, which has become a major obstacle to the negotiations.
Meanwhile, Jeddah National, a Saudi club with strong financial resources, has also shown strong interest in Osmeen. According to Romano, if Chelsea can't meet Osmeen's salary demands and succeed in reaching an agreement, Jeddah National is ready to take over and complete the deal at any time. This news certainly adds more uncertainty to the transfer battle.
On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain, who had previously been rumored to be a potential next home for Osmeen, have now been ruled out of contention by Romano. The Ligue 1 giants are not currently carrying out any concrete work related to bringing in Osmeen, making the battle between Chelsea and Jeddah National all the more compelling.
As the transfer window draws to a close, Osmeen's future will undoubtedly be the center of attention in the global football world. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea can convince the Nigerian striker to join them, or whether Jeddah National will be able to capitalize on their financial strength.
