It has been argued that Victor Osimhen (Napoli), who has consistently received attention from Chelsea, could transfer to Real Madrid rather than Chelsea.

Britain’s The Sun said on the 29th, “Chelsea’s recruitment target Osimhen appeared with his agent in Madrid, Spain. “With rumors of a transfer circulating in January next year, Napoli’s star could head to Santiago Bernabeu,” he reported.

Osimhen visited Madrid at 5 a.m. on the 30th for the away match of Group C of the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League group stage against Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain. 스포츠토토사이트

While he was sweating in Madrid to confirm his advance to the round of 16, The Sun noted that Osimhen’s agent Roberto Calenda accompanied him on the Madrid expedition.

“The future of Osimhen in Italy remains uncertain amid the conflict with his team Napoli,” The Sun said. Osimhen’s agent accompanied him to Madrid amid rumors that he would move in January. Osimhen was seen touring the Bernabeu stadium without a teammate, and his agent reportedly boarded the plane to negotiate a transfer with Real. The news will hit Chelsea hard,” he said.

Nigerian striker Osimhen has been proven in Italy’s Serie A stage over the past few seasons with outstanding performance. Last season, Napoli scored 26 goals in 32 league games and led Napoli to their first league championship in 33 years.

Although he is still showing a sense of scoring this season, his position has changed slightly compared to last season. Former coach Rudy Garcia, who replaced Luciano Spalletti, had a tense relationship before being replaced due to poor performance and continues to accompany his team Napoli.

At the beginning of the season, he had a disagreement with Garcia over the appointment of a player, and when Osimhen missed a penalty kick in the game, Napoli posted a racist post on the club’s official SNS account, causing controversy. Although he is focusing on the season after sealing the conflict, he has been struggling with seven games due to a hamstring injury in the past month, and rumors of a transfer have emerged this winter as he has been linked to Chelsea and other big trolls.

Local British media, including The Sun and Football London, consistently reported that Chelsea was interested in recruiting Osimhen.

On the 28th, The Sun also said, “Pullum will surprise Chelsea striker Armando Broja, and Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has been approved to recruit Osimhen,” adding, “Chelsea owner Tod Boli also pointed to Osimhen as the top recruitment priority. “The transfer fee is 120 million pounds (about 16.7 billion won), which will make him the most expensive player in the Premier League,” he reported.

In this situation, rumors of a move to Real are gaining momentum as the news broke that Osimhen, who is about to go to Real, accompanied his agent. According to Football Italy, Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola said, “Osimen is a traditional centre forward. “I can be a more suitable striker for Real than Kylian Mbappe,” he said, adding more weight to the possibility of moving to Real.
