Victor Osimhen’s negotiations with Chelsea include eye-watering salary

Victor Osimhen is one of the summer’s biggest transfer sagas.

The Nigerian has a £110 million (€130 million) release clause in his Napoli contract that isn’t due to expire until 2026. Chelsea, who are desperate to sign a new number nine, remain heavily linked with bringing the 25-year-old to Stamford Bridge this summer though.

And although the striker’s agent recently ruled out a lucrative switch to Saudi Arabia, Chelsea will still need to break the bank to sign the African.

How much would Victor Osimhen earn at Chelsea?

That’s because according to a recent report from Fichajes, the forward’s negotiations with Chelsea have seen him demand an eye-watering salary.

Victor Osimhen is in talks to sign for Chelsea.

Believed to want £423,000-per week, which is equal to £22 million-per year, Osimhen’s insane wage demands, if granted, would see him become the Blues’ highest earner, surpassing the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Raheem Sterling, both of whom, according to Capology, pick up £325,000-per week.

Chelsea and Napoli have just four days left before Friday’s transfer deadline to reach an agreement.

Failure to sign the Nigerian will see Enzo Maresca forced to continue the season with Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku as his main striking options.

  2. If he really wants to play for chelsea, let him come and play wholeheartedly. Why is he demanding 400-500 to sign for chelsea? Is he coming for money or to play for the club? cus i still don’t get it. By the way, how much is palmer earning self?

  3. Why don’t you go for Tony or Lewis which would be better value then that money grabing idiot he is no Drogba let him go to to the Arabs and save your money

    1. Why calling the young man an idiot. Did you ever had him demanding 450-500k per week why based your comments on the rubbish article.

  4. I’ve said it in a few different comments no way should Chelsea sign him on that sort of wages and at the price they want. We should get Jonathan David for £20 million or Santiago Gimenez for £30 million or get both of them there and there wages would be only £100.000 a week each. We would be saving money if we were to get both of them. That would be better value and two excellent strikers. Plus if we was to sell them on later there value would go up. It’s a no brainier to me.

    1. Who are these ones you just mentioned, what fear factor will they bring for Chelsea against our opponents? Chelsea at this stage need a proven striker and that’s what we will be going for.

  5. The money is too much for only one player. Chelsea should manage jackson till january transfer window, because osimen with such high demand plus his release clause is a risk not worth taken

  6. Why would osimhen be demanding such atronomical amount of money,it’s too much for my liking ..if Jackson has been performing his striking duties why would Chelsea be needing osimhen

  8. Let Osimhen go where he wants, that kind of salary will disrupt the team, let’s go for Jonathan David

  10. let him reduse the salary he is a good guy so chelsea should try and reach agreement with osimhen chek history of all nigerian’s players at the club true true chelsea we need him

  11. Why that much….. that’s a big no for me. If he loves the team then he should reduce that unrealistic salary demand..

  16. How can Osi be demanding such an amount from Chelsea, go for Ivan jorr make he stay put for Napoli or better still go to Saudi Arabia for such an amount

  20. He just wants some sought of negotiations that’s all cos he knows the cash is huge for someone that’s not won a ballon dor yet. Victor Vamos Come on reduce your cost then increase it when you’ve made more statements of who you’re & what you’re made of. But, 500gs………?
