‘Yes, I’ve decided’, Chelsea… Breaks the record for the highest transfer fee ever
The team’s performance this season is bad, but Chelsea, which has enough recruiting funds, seems to be preparing to recruit a special star with the highest transfer fee ever.
On the 14th (hereinafter Korean time), 토스카지노’90min’, an Internet newspaper specializing in football, reported the news that major European championship teams should pay attention to. ‘Chelsea have made Victor Osimen (Napoli) their number one target in the summer transfer market. We are preparing not to violate Financial Fair Play (FFP).”
Osimen missed the first leg of the quarterfinals of the European Football Federation Champions League (UCL) against AC Milan on the 13th due to an injury. However, Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti was confident of advancing to the semifinals, saying that Osimen would return in the second match scheduled for the 19th.
The more games he plays, the more the clubs competing for Osimen salivate. As for Chelsea, Kai Havertz’s performance this season has not lived up to expectations and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has not been named in the starting lineup. Naturally, it led to a decrease in scoring power, which leads to a hunger for a central striker.
Of course, you need carrots to satisfy both Osimen and Naples. Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are focusing on Osimen. Recently, Osimen’s career path is different every day, to the extent that there are reports that he can go to Munich.
Osimen gave a cryptic answer last month, saying, “I’m really trying to achieve my dream of playing in the Premier League (PL) someday. Of course, I’m in the process right now and I want to keep my strength.”
Napoli wants 150 million euros (approximately 215.4 billion won) for Osimen’s transfer. If Osimen enters the Premier League at this amount, it will be the highest transfer fee ever. Previously, it was Enzo Fernandez, who was acquired by Chelsea in January, for 121 million euros (approximately 162.1 billion won).
If Chelsea, which is spending money freely under Todd Boelli’s owner system, pays the transfer fee Napoli wants, Osimen will become the new main character of the club and PL’s highest transfer fee.
In the case of Manchester United, Paul Pogba (Juventus), who was recruited from Juventus in 2016, has the highest transfer fee of 105 million euros (approximately 140 billion won at the time). In a situation where it is not decided whether to sell the club, the possibility of losing the player to Chelsea exists.
