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.
Napoli kind of missed the train selling him or you could say that they went all in and were hoping that he keeps on performing like he did in season 22/23. That was an excellent season and I remember that his price tag was 120+ million, but I doubt that any club would be still willing to pay that amount. That season he had 36 goal participations in 39 games, which is really strong taking into account that he started with a relatively severe injury into the season. But I think some clubs had doubts that he would be able to keep playing on that level. It was just an excellent year for him, but Napoli at some point asked for 150 million I think.
In season 23/24 he missed a ton of Serie A games, I think about 1/3 of the games in the league only. And in the Champions League the journey was over in the round of 16, which means he couldn't really present himself in top games. He also missed the Supercopa semifinal and final because he had to play for the national team. It wasn't going well for him and now he is stuck with a mediocre club as I don't think that Napoli is competitive enough with the team they have right now. Additionally they had a horrible start now.
If the Chelsea rumors are true I think they are willing to pay around 45 million. Crazy what a price dump that is from the 120 - 150 million not too long ago.
