Based on the information provided by Fabrizio Romano, it has been revealed that Chelsea Football Club is prepared to send a great player to Napoli as part of a deal to finalize the signing of Osimhen. According to reports, the president of Napoli has disclosed that he is prepared to release Victor Osimhen to Chelsea in a deal that will involve Cole Palmer moving in the opposite direction. Additionally, according to reports coming from Stamford Bridge, it is believed that Todd Boehly is prepared to make this deal happen as he is very interested in bringing the Nigerian striker to Chelsea during the summer. Napoli’s desire for Chelsea’s most valuable asset is a matter of give and take. This deal has been met with disapproval from the supporters. The importance of Palmer cannot be overstated for us. It would be really appreciated if you could leave our star for us.
Chelsea are planning to sell academy graduates as their main strategy to raise the €120 million needed for acquiring a new No.9. According to Sky Sports Deutschland, one key move involves Ian Maatsen’s potential permanent transfer to Borussia Dortmund.
Maatsen, a young Dutch player, has been impressive during his loan spell in the Bundesliga. He significantly contributed by scoring the second goal in Borussia Dortmund’s 4-2 win over Atletico Madrid, which helped the team reach the Champions League semi-finals.
Patrick Berger reports that Maatsen is eager to leave Chelsea permanently in the summer, and the club is aware of his desire. The left-back, who has scored two goals and provided two assists for Dortmund, is thriving and wishes to continue in his current environment. His release clause is between €35-40 million.
Dortmund’s interest in the 22-year-old is clear, given his remarkable form since joining the club. Maatsen’s Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) has risen from €6.6 million at the beginning of the year to nearly €19 million now. If this trend continues, Borussia Dortmund could find great value in purchasing him at Chelsea’s asking price.
Chelsea are likely to be content with a sale within this price range. The club needs to make several sales to fund their move for Osimhen, especially as PSG is reportedly intensifying their efforts to sign the Nigerian international.
In addition to Maatsen, Chelsea plans to sell Conor Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah as part of a broader reshuffling of their first-team squad, though Maatsen’s transfer to Dortmund is currently their primary focus.
