Buchi Laba, a close to the player posted the revelation on his X page recently as Osimhen continues to attract interest from top clubs in the Premier League.
“Massive Upgrade not replace. Liverpool were one of the English teams that are heavily frustrated by Napoli wanting to do a deal at the start of the season.. they gave all access to Chelsea.
“They came back again in January 2025 and I’m 100% sure they will come back in June.”
Victor Osimhen has been linked to a move to a move to the Premier League and Manchester United and Chelsea appear to be the player’s preferred destination.
However, a source believes Chelsea are looking to sign another striker instead of the former Lille forward this summer
