Honestly, the Victor Osimhen Chelsea transfer news keeps popping up, but from what I've seen, it's all kind of stuck on two big things: money and Chelsea's new transfer strategy. So, everyone keeps talking like Osimhen is almost at Stamford Bridge, but it turns out his wage demands are massive, and Chelsea is super strict now about keeping player salaries low, especially for new guys. They've been focusing on signing young players for the future instead of big-name stars with high wages like before. I've noticed people online arguing that Chelsea should just pay up because they're desperate for a top striker, but it looks like they're scared of repeating their old transfer mistakes, like with Lukaku. Also, Napoli is finally willing to negotiate on his fee, so it's really just down to whether Chelsea and Osimhen can agree on his wages. To me, it kind of feels like the club is weighing if Osimhen's talent is worth breaking their own rules for. It's wild because fans are getting impatient, but I actually think it's smart for the club to be careful. I just hope they sort it out soon because Chelsea really needs someone like Osimhen up front!
