This summer their president said it wants 400 mil for Osimhen.
I doubt he will leave for less than 150.
Really it's a fantastic figure that the club wants, but recently Osimhen has agreed to a new contract that will soon be completed at the beginning of 2024 in addition to Victor Osimhen will experience a fairly high salary increase, even the media said he had the highest salary in the history of the Napoli club.
This means Chelsea will not have the opportunity to buy Osimhen if he extends his contract until 2026, the clause value is €130M according to sky sport but it could be even higher.

It is clear that Napoli have reached an agreement on a new contract with Osimhen which makes the assumptions of many people who think that Osimhen will go to another team not seem to be true because Osimhen will sign a new contract with Napoli. I think this will frustrate Chelsea again because they are so interested in recruiting Osimhen but Osimhen prefers to stay with Napoli by extending his contract. I think this deal will certainly make Osimhen focus 100% on Napoli and there will be no more buzz with speculation about his future.
So Chelsea will therefore try to turn to another striker in this season's transfer window and it seems likely that Vlahovic will be their diversion if they don't plan to disrupt Osimhen. Chelsea need a new striker and I am sure they will be able to recruit quality players this season, even several names have started to be linked with them recently. Let's just wait and see if Pochettino will be given fresh funds to buy more players in the January transfer window.
