What next in the Victor Osimhen Chelsea transfer saga?

We had an important interview from former Chelsea and Nigeria midfielder John Obi Mikel as he spoke on his podcast about Victor Osimhen. He confirmed that Chelsea were really close to an agreement for Osimhen but couldn’t get it done on time due to certain details that were still left to clarify. Mikel also mentioned the possibility of Chelsea reviving the deal in January, and I’ve received many messages about what’s going to happen between Osimhen and Chelsea in the future.

Obviously, for now Osimhen has only just signed for Galatasaray, so we need to respect Galatasaray. Also on the player side, and his representatives, they want to respect Galatasaray, and that is the only focus for now. What I can say, however, is that Chelsea’s appreciation for Osimhen remains.
