Napoli and Chelsea are willing to do business over the Nigeria international.
However, the deal is in the balance with Osimhen demanding a staggering £500,000-A-WEEK to move to London, says The Sun.
Chelsea would have to make Osimhen the highest paid player in the Premier League to make the move happen.
The two clubs, meanwhile, have been haggling over a fee for the striker, with Chelsea reluctant to pay Osimhen's €130m buyout clause, while Napoli have refused Chelsea's loan proposal.

500k per week? Then we expect him to score directly from the dressing room...

I have no idea exactly how talented Osimhen is and ofc he's entitled to value himself before anything else in this line of business but pls, let's be realistic and careful here: what has he done so far to demand such amount at this stage of his career and in the world of football? The door to Saudi Arabia and Qatar is wide open for guys like him!

I’m a Nigerian and a Chelsea supporter, if this news is true, in as much I would love to see in Chelsea shirt, but 500k a week is crazy….. he should go to Saudi Arabia….Jackson, Guiu will improve, Palmer and Nkunku can play that position as well…The manager just needs to improve them in their rightful positions.
