Osimhen to Chelsea in doubt as Napoli President confirms advanced talks of contract extension

Chelsea pursuit of Napoli’s Victor Osimhen faces setback as president Aurelio De Laurentiis reveals advanced talks of contract extension. Following reports of Chelsea considering a swoop bid for Osimhen to address their goalscoring issues, Napoli are reportedly determined to keep the forward for future projects. The Nigerian striker played a vital role in Napoli’s Serie A title victory last season, making him a prime target for club’s across Europe, seeking attacking reinforcements. De Laurentiis, while speaking at an awards ceremony said, “For Osimhen, we are now at the signing stage which has been pending since the summer.”

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen – Getty image Chelsea’s interest in the 24-year-old striker grew due to their challenges in front of goal in the Premier League this season, despite substantial investments in attacking options. The struggles of summer signing Nicolas Jackson and the absence of Christopher Nkunku intensified the need for a more daring goalscorer. Napoli’s strong stance on Osimhen’s value, with a reported £120m price tag, had dismissed suitors in the summer, but Chelsea returned, with the willingness to make the huge investment. However, with contract talks progressing with the Naples club, Chelsea’s hopes of securing Osimhen in the upcoming transfer window face uncertainty. The striker’s agent reportedly engaged in discussions with Napoli’s leadership during the recent Champions League clash against Real Madrid, to explore the possibilities for an extension, increased salary, and new release clause for the Super Eagles star.

“Why we should be proud Tinubu is our President” ― Keyamo

Festus Keyamo, SAN, has said that Nigerians should be proud of having Bola Ahmed Tinubu as president while describing him as a great economist who knows all the nuances of how to grow a modern economy. The former Minister of State for Labour and Employment disclosed this on his Twitter handle on Monday.

President Bola Tinubu (Image gotten from @officialABAT, Twitter) According to Keyamo: “A new crop of leaders is emerging in Africa that have clear ideas as to how they want their various economies and societies to be run so as to prioritise their self-sustenance and cultural imperatives over and above theories and conditionalities of the Western World and other bigger economies that do not sit well with their people. “We should be proud that we have @officialABAT at this time as President who, from a rich antecedent, knows all the nuances of how to grow a modern economy and can easily connect with other African leaders on such initiatives”. In other news, President Tinubu joined world leaders in Paris, France on Thursday last week to review and sign a New Global Financial Pact that places vulnerable countries on a priority list for support and investment, following the devastating impact of climate change, energy crisis, and after effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. The summit afforded the president the opportunity of projecting his advocacy for widening the fiscal space, and economic justice for Africa as the world accelerates the pace of energy transition and the urgency of addressing the pressing issues of poverty and climate change. The two-day Summit, June 22 and 23 looks at opportunities to restore fiscal space to countries that face difficult short-term financial challenges, especially the most indebted; mobilize innovative financing for countries vulnerable to climate change; foster development in low-income countries, and encourage investment in “green” infrastructure for the energy transition in emerging and developing economies.
