Football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, has cleared the air on the swirling rumours linking Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen with a potential move to Chelsea in January.
Romano spoke after a recent comment from former Chelsea midfielder, John Mikel Obi hinting at a potential move for Osimhen to Chelsea in the January transfer window.
Chelsea tried signing the 25-year-old during the summer transfer window.
However, the negotiations broke down despite the Blues making around four contract offers.
The Premier League west London club was unable to match the current salary that Osimhen was earning at Napoli.
Osimhen eventually ended up joining Galatasaray on a season-long loan.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano clarified that Osimhen is currently committed to honouring his contract with his new club, Galatasaray.
“Victor Osimhen just signed for Galatasaray. Respect for Galatasaray, not just from my side but also on the player’s side, camp, and the player himself,” Romano said.
“They want to respect Gala, focus on Gala, play for Gala, this is the position on the player’s side.
“What I can tell you and I already told you last weekend, I can repeat again this week is that Chelsea’s appreciation for Victor Osimhen remains absolutely.
“Chelsea understand what happened in the final days of August. They understand how complicated the negotiations for the player are in terms of financial, in terms of salary, and in terms of contract.
“But Chelsea’s appreciation in Victor Osimhen remains absolutely concrete and absolutely still there.”
