Fabrizio Romano a transfer expert has shared surprising insights into Chelsea’s hunt for a new striker this summer, hinting at a potential shift in their transfer strategy.
Victor Osimhen, presently with Napoli, has been a prominent name linked with Chelsea’s summer transfers.
However, Romano’s recent update indicates a possible hesitation due to financial constraints.
The Nigerian forward’s speculated departure from Napoli at the season’s end has sparked considerable interest, with Chelsea among the frontrunners eyeing his signature.
Nonetheless, Romano suggests that Chelsea might find Osimhen’s price tag too exorbitant.
With multiple areas requiring reinforcement, including center back, left back, winger and goalkeeper positions, Chelsea faces a strategic dilemma.
While mega-signings like Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo who cost in excess of £100 million have recently occurred, a more prudent approach might involve dividing significant funds across several signings.
Considering the Financial Fair Play rules, splurging heavily on a single player like Osimhen might not align with Chelsea’s broader transfer agenda.
This perspective raises questions about the viability of pursuing the Nigerian striker if the financial demands remain sky-high.
