Osimhen’s future at Napoli has come under scrutiny following the TikTok video controversy with the club.
Chelsea are said to have the Nigeria international on their radar.
Napoli are hoping to tie Osimhen to a new contract but talks have slowed over the size of the release clause and the TikTok row.
The 24-year-old’s contract will expire in June 2025. READ ALSO:
