Ahead of a crucial summer, Chelsea are expected to once again be among the busiest clubs in the transfer season. After spending almost £300 million to sign an unprecedented eight new players, the Blues broke January expenditure records.
Manager Graham Potter will have another opportunity to restructure Chelsea’s team this summer. However, Potter’s team is still mired in tenth place and will require more help. However, The Blues are still keen on Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, according to jerrymusa.com
Given the size of Chelsea’s roster, several departures are also almost certain. In light of this, the Blues are reportedly willing to offer Christian Pulisic in exchange for Napoli’s Victor Osimhen. Many analysts have now described this as an audacious player-plus-cash transfer.
The 24-year-old has been among the best players in Europe this year, leading his team to the top of the Serie A standings and the quarterfinals of the Champions League, with 25 goals in all competitions.
Arsenal and Manchester United are also competing with Chelsea for the Nigerian international, who according to talkSPORT, is worth more than £100 million.
However, Calciomercato claims that the Blues are attempting to outdo their Premier League competitors for Osimhen by making a bid for American winger Pulisic.

This earned him a move to French club Lille, where he continued to impress, scoring 18 goals in 38 appearances in his debut season.
