Currently, Chelsea and Arsenal are also backing away from their desire to get Osimhen from Napoli, although now Napoli clearly hinted that Osimhen will be sold because it is likely that Osimhen is not included in Conte plans next season, Conte desire to bring in Lukaku is of course a signal if Conte prioritizes Lukaku as their main striker next season rather than Osimhen, Even Napoli has offered Osimhen to Chelsea as a way for them to get Lukaku by also including a lot of money for the transfer, but Chelsea actually refused because they saw Osimhen price being too expensive, after Chelsea, now Arsenal is also withdrawing from the competition to get Osimhen because Napoli asked Arsenal to pay Osimhen for 90 million euros plus Tomiyasu and also Smith Rowe.

This is too much and even I will back down from such deal because it’s not a transparent one looking at the players to be involved and swapped with him including 90 million euros. Osimhen is a good player and the season before this one that ended was a very great one for him that made him surge in value. But checking at the recently concluded season, it is obvious that he didn’t do well and his worth would have depreciated by now. Osimhen to join Arsenal will be a very good boost to the team because of the nature of striker he his, but Napoli have now made them lose interest in the player even when they’re not looking to utilise him for the next season.

You people might not agree with me but I think that's fair. This is definitely a good decision taken by Chelsea. The most important point that they have made is about his injury. Keep remembering that the English Premier League is a very highly competitive league. You know, the football is also very physical in this league.

So if he is getting injured in the Italian league so much, how much is he going to be injured in the English Premier League? That is something which Chelsea has kept in mind. They have also talked about his fee but I think all the players that have the same level of talent as him are actually going to cost like that. The cost of players have gone up a lot. style of play and injuries should be the main concern.

Yes, I totally agree to this decision taken by Chelsea, because I really don't like the idea of splashing out 100million plus anytime they want to sign a quality player, though victor osimhen is a very good player no doubt, and he will definitely improve the attack of Chelsea, but splashing out 100million plus on him, at this particular time that financial fair play is currently breathing on their neck, is definitely not a wise thing to do, so keeping off from such transfer is very important, and it shows that the new owners of Chelsea are finally learning.

As for the injuries he always have, I think it's a valid reason for Chelsea not to go for this deal, because it's actually very painful as an investor to invest so much on a player, then he will always be injured, even when the team needed him the most, he might not even be available due to injuries, so it a very valid reason to me if they stay off from this particular transfer.
