Director informs Chelsea there will be chance to sign £68M star in winter window
Napoli director Mauro Meluso has opened up and told the likes of CHELSEA that there may be a chance to sign Victor Osimhen when the January window opens up in just a few months time
Osimhen was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge over the course of the summer window, as the club were desperate to add a striker to their attack before the season started, many reports in the media suggested.
But despite all the rumours, despite all the speculation that he could be heading to the Bridge – Osimhen never made that move to London as his asking price was far too high and in the end, he ended up making a loan move to Galatasaray.
As for the Galatasaray move, Meluso says it was a decision forced by the circumstances, and admits there could be a deal done for Osimhen to head elsewhere come January.
He said: “It was a last-minute solution so he would not lose the first three months of the season. We will see in January.”

Osimhen moved because he wanted game time and that is what he is getting – Napoli would probably have loved to keep the player – but at the end of the day – he just wanted minutes.
And when the January transfer window opens up – there may be an opportunity for the club to make a fresh move for the man – as they still need to sign a striker that can help Cole Palmer bang in the goals on a weekly basis.
