Football transfer expert Rudy Galetti has hinted that Chelsea will wait to sign Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen during the January transfer window.
Recall that the Nigerian international joined Galatasaray this summer from Napoli despite the Blues strong attempt to sign him.
However, in a chat with Tribal Football, Galetti stated that Osimhen had given his approval to join Chelsea, but the offer on the table cash plus Cesare Casadei did not satisfy Napoli, who had already started pursuing Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour.

“The disappointment within Chelsea’s management remains strong after the events two weeks ago. Reportedly, a preliminary agreement had been reached between Chelsea and Osimhen’s representatives, with the Blues already in talks with Napoli to finalise the terms.
“Victor had given his approval to join Chelsea, but the offer on the table – cash plus Cesare Casadei – did not satisfy Napoli, who had already started pursuing Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour. Even discussions around a loan with an obligation to buy failed to meet Napoli’s expectations, as the payment terms proposed by Chelsea were deemed too deferred over time.
“For now, Chelsea appear content to wait, but Osimhen’s situation will likely be revisited in the next transfer window. In the meantime, Victor is already an idol of Galatasaray with whom, in the first match played, he has already provided an assist.”
