According to Romano, Chelsea or Arsenal will need to spend over €130 million to get Osimhen out of Napoli.

Victor Osimhen, despite his expected high cost, could potentially break a record for an English club’s purchase if Chelsea or Arsenal solidify their interest. The 24-year-old Nigerian has been sought after by top European clubs due to his impressive goal-scoring record, notably achieving seven goals in 13 Serie A games this season despite dealing with injuries. Napoli, reluctant to lose him, extended his contract to secure the best possible price. While this extension doesn’t guarantee his long-term stay, it allows Napoli to dictate his value rather than risking losing him for less than he’s worth. There’s a possibility of his departure in 2024, with a release clause around €130m, attracting significant attention from various clubs, including Chelsea and Arsenal, known for their interest in his goal-scoring prowess. The summer might witness an intensified pursuit from other clubs as well.
