Updates on Todd Boehly's discussions with Paris Saint-Germain regarding a move for Neymar and Victor Osimhen's answer to transfer rumors over his future with Napoli are among the most recent Chelsea news and transfer rumors.
Your Saturday, May 6 morning Chelsea digest.
After Cristiano Ronaldo was ignored by Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea sent a Neymar transfer message.
Prior to the summer transfer window, Chelsea has been linked to an unexpected approach for superstar Neymar of Paris Saint-Germain. Brazilian is on the verge of leaving Paris after PSG supporters gathered outside his house and chanted, "Neymar, get stuffed!"
Glen Johnson, a former defender for Chelsea and Liverpool, says he would "love" to see Neymar play in the Premier League but is worried about the Blues' potential acquisition of the 31-year-old.
We want to see the top players in the world in the Premier League, Johnson stated in a statement to GGRecon. Even while I would dearly love to see Neymar play here every single week, I don't think it will actually happen.
In light of Chelsea links, Todd Boehly has already met with Paris Saint-Germain to discuss the trade of Neymar.
Regarding a transfer for Neymar, Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has previously spoken with Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the owner of Paris Saint-Germain. The 31-year-old winger was up for sale by the French powerhouses last summer, and they plan to make another attempt to do so before the start of the next season.
Boehly has previously met with Al-Khelaifi "a few times" in the past year to discuss Neymar and the potential for bringing him to Stamford Bridge, according to ESPN and RMC Sport reporter Julien Laurens.
Laurens said that he is doubtful if a move is still feasible given that Neymar has missed PSG's previous 10 games, the Brazilian is still recovering from ankle surgery, and the size of his contract with the Ligue 1 winners, which does not expire until 2025.
"PSG tried to sell Neymar last summer, and they will try to sell him again this summer," claimed Laurens. We are aware of meetings between Todd Boehly, the owner of Chelsea, and Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the president of PSG, to discuss Neymar and the potential for Chelsea to sign him.
Since Neymar is still recovering from ankle surgery and is under contract to PSG for a sizable sum, I'm not sure whether it is really conceivable at this time. So, I'm not sure if Chelsea can afford Neymar at the moment; however, we do know that only the Premier League can.
Victor Osimhen responds firmly to transfer rumors as Chelsea encounters a 100 million Napoli demand.
After Napoli won the Serie A title, the star player Victor Osimhen was questioned about his future and gave a resolute reaction. In 34 games this season, the Nigerian international has scored 27 goals and contributed five more assists. Chelsea and Manchester United are both interested in signing the 24-year-old this summer.
Given that Osimhen's contract is slated to expire in 2025, the Italian team plans to demand a sum in the neighborhood of 100 million. Given his height, quickness, and physicality, the Nigerian has been among the finest finishers in Europe this season and possesses all the qualities necessary to succeed in the Premier League.
With only five games remaining this season, the 24-year-old equalizer helped Luciano Spaletti's team draw 1-1 against Udinese, putting them 16 points ahead of Lazio in second place.
When asked about his future shortly after Napoli won their first Serie A championship in 33 years, Osimhen replied, "It's not the right time to discuss my future. I just want to enjoy this incredible title. I can't wait to return to Napoli and hug the fans - I'm so happy for them."
