What has kept Osimhen transfer to still lingering is due to the market value placed on him with clubs like Arsenal, Bayern Munich who were earlier in the race too backing down leaving Chelsea and PSG still keen to acquiring him, although this would have been a done deal for PSG already but at a time they got unserious after evaluating their squad but their interest later rekindle amidst Goncalo Ramos injury.
But like I had said earlier, if PSG will be willing to incur all the requirements in acquiring Osimhen then is most likely he will agree a deal with the French giant since he will be playing in the champions league if he gets to join them. Everything about his fate will eventually unfold as the window transfer duration get winds down, however, I still maintain my stance that Chelsea are the team with a good looking advantage in this race for Osimhen despite not featuring in the UCL.
There is only 1 solution for Osimhen transfer to be realized, namely Napoli must lower its market value according to the club's capabilities. If this solution is not implemented, then Napoli and Osimhen will remain in the same position, standing still and doing nothing. Then about Chelsea, do you think everything is easy when you already have 44 players, is it still not enough? It doesn't matter as long as Todd Boehly money never runs out, but before that, as an illustration or simple comparison for you, today Chelsea will face Manchester City. Here we can judge with Chelsea squad of more than 40 whether Enzo Maresca has found the right composition to stop Manchester City.
The results of this first match will determine how good or bad Chelsea transfer is. Like it or not, it must be accepted considering that Chelsea has more players to choose from. If they fail to conquer Manchester City, it means buying that many players will be considered in vain.
It goes beyond Napoli's hardball performance with their asking price. They have spent significant investments in Osimhen, transforming him into a world-class striker. They are selling an upcoming gold mine, not only a player. Plus right now the market is inflated. Napoli is not going to settle for pennies on the dollar; they know they have a hot good. They are seeking for a bargain that is basic and easy financially sensible.
Chelsea, now, they face different difficulties. Yes, they have a strong team, but success does not follow from that by default. The City game will be a test. Can they create a coherent unit from that depth that can challenge the best? Its about having the correct players in the correct places, not only about having many of players. We'll see whether their transfer plan pays off. Should it not, well, they could have to change their strategy.
