While Osimhen has hit the ground running with the Turkish club, scoring two goals and registering two assists in four games, Chelsea fans hope the striker will move to London.
In an exclusive chat with CaughtOffside, football transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano shared the latest information on the Osimhen saga.
He disclosed that nothing is happening about the transfer of the 25-year-old, but things could change before January.
The Blues are keen to land the forward as they hope to bolster the squad's attack, even though Nicolas Jackson is beginning to get the goals.
Chelsea to move for Osimhen in January?
Romano said:
“I’m aware there continue to be plenty of stories about Victor Osimhen’s future after a crazy summer that saw him make the surprise move to Galatasaray despite the strong interest from Chelsea and other clubs.“I’ve been asked about reports on Osimhen possibly moving for just £40m this January, with Chelsea said to be working on this deal behind the scenes.“However, I can honestly say that nothing is happening now regarding Osimhen. I’ve said many times recently that Chelsea’s interest remains and they still like the player."Osimhen sends message to Galatasaray fans
