Chelsea's bid to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli has hit a snag, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The Nigerian striker has refused to reduce his salary, complicating negotiations between the two clubs. Romano revealed on social media that Chelsea are still in talks with Napoli, but Osimhen's wage demands remain a stumbling block.

Furthermore, Napoli are interested in signing Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku as part of a potential deal. However, Osimhen is not open to a loan or option-to-buy arrangement, and his departure from Napoli is still expected despite the lack of progress.

Romano's update suggests that Chelsea's pursuit of Osimhen is ongoing, but the club will need to find a solution to the salary impasse if they hope to secure the striker's services. With Napoli keen on Lukaku, a complex transfer saga is unfolding, and Chelsea fans will be watching developments closely.
