Akatugba claims that Victor Osimhen initially demanded €500,000-a-week to make the move.
Victor Osimhen, the world-famous Napoli striker, has reportedly agreed a €350,000-a-deal contract with Chelsea.
This is according to UEFA accredited sports journalist, Oma Akatugba.
Akatugba claims that Osimhen initially demanded €500,000-a-week to make the move.
He however insisted that the deal is not yet wrapped up amid interest from Saudi Arabia.
Akatugba wrote on X on Thursday: “The Victor Osimhen transfer saga seems to be leaning toward a move to Chelsea.
“According to my sources — not Victor or anyone from his camp — as of 11pm. last night, he agreed to a weekly wage of €350,000 with Chelsea.
“Initially, he sought €500,000 per week, but Chelsea persuaded him to accept the lower figure.
“However, Chelsea fans shouldn’t celebrate just yet, as this drama is far from over. The Saudi clubs are still in the race and are offering even more money.”
