Deirector delighted with Chelsea deal- Worldie Chelsea target asks for move – Big star to leave after £54M Chelsea signing
Here is the latest Chelsea news and gossip from icchelseanews that we think you guys could have missed over the past 24 hours guys…
Napoli have confirmed that long-term CHELSEA target Victor Osimhen handed in a transfer request to leave the cub this summer. It comes after he was left out of Antonio Conte’s matchday squad for a Coppa Italia clash with Modena on Saturday.
the club didnt want to pay that £111 million clause on his contract at the beginning of the summer, so Napoli lowered the asking price to £87 million in order to try and get him sold – but the club dont want to pay that amount for the player either.
There has been some reports that Osimhen does not want to even make the move to the Premier League, but that has not stopped rumours that we are still very keen on the man.
Now – Sporting director Giovanni Manna addressed Osimhen’s future pre-match, saying that the big man has handed in a transfer request in order to force a move away from Napoli before the club of the transfer window.
“He asked to leave.” The club chief continued: “We are calm because we have players in the squad who can replace him in the best way.
“However, we do not want to harm the integrity of the group and want to preserve it. We will see what will happen in the next few days.”

Look, Osimhen is world class and the club would be massive fools to not get a deal done right as he would be brilliant.
Most fans would love to see him signed – why do you think the club have not yet got a deal done?
DIRECTOR DELIGHTED WITH SLONINA DEAL –
CHELSEA goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina has joined League One side Barnsley for the 2024/25 campaign, and the clubs Sporting Director has announces his delight.
Slonina was brought to the club just a few windows ago in hope that he could really develop working with the coaching staff and develop into a stopper that had the ability to challenge for that number one spot.
But the decision was made to allow him to make the loan move away from the club, and after a few months, Barnsley snapped the lad up.
And after seeing the deal happen – Sporting Director Mladen Sormaz has opened up and revealed just how delighted he is with the deal – he said, “We are really pleased to bring in Gabriel, he is one of few very high level young goalkeepers in the world and already a senior international at 20, we feel this is a mutually beneficial move where Gabriel can test himself as a first team player at Oakwell in an extremely competitive league while we get the benefit of an elite level young player with experience beyond his age.
“We signed Jackson Smith as our long term number one earlier in the summer but we have also been on the lookout for a season long loan option with plenty of high level experience to allow Jackson time to grow into our number 1.
‘James Bittner has a track record of working with young up and coming players and we are seeing this first hand with the progress Jackson is already making.”

Slonina was brought by that board in hope that he could develop into a player that could challenge for that number one spot at Stamford Bridge – but it has not quite worked out for the player and hopefully this loan move will help.
STERLING TO GET SOLD?
The incoming signing of Pedro Neto means that Raheem Sterling could be sold this transfer window as CHELSEA will need to make space for the Wolves star in their squad for the upcoming season.
The 29-year-old England international was one of the first high-profile arrivals of the Todd Boehly era in the summer of 2022 but has failed to live up to such heights since moving to Stamford Bridge.
As a result, it has been speculated recently that we could look to offload Sterling and his hefty wages this summer, and now that Pedro Neto is coming to the club – the Blues will surely push on and maybe get Sterling out of the club before the close of the window.
Stanley said: ‘Pedro Neto is a brilliant signing for the club and one that surely means the end of Raheem Sterling – the England star has been tipped to leave the club this transfer window with a move to Saudi Arabia on the agenda.
‘Neto is an upgrade on the England star – he is more creative and has more of an ability to score goals – Sterling will either have to sit on the bench and be a back-up or he will need to move on.
‘There will be alot more speculation in the media over the next few weeks as we have alot of transfer days left in the window – but we would not be surprised to see Sterling leave the club now that Neto is coming to the club.’
