Osimhen has been a subject of interest for several top European clubs, with Chelsea being one of the most persistent suitors.

The Super Eagles star's impressive performances for Napoli helped the team win a Serie A title last season. This feat has made him a highly sought after asset in the transfer market.

Chelsea, under new ownership, have shown a willingness to spend big on top talent, and Osimhen fits the profile of the player they are looking to acquire.

However, it's important to note that the agent's presence at Stamford Bridge could be due to various reasons, and a deal is not imminent at this stage.

Why Napoli struggle to sell Osimhen

Meanwhile, an Italian journalist, Enrico Varriale, said that the Premier League and Ligue 1 were two elite leagues with financial problems, which affected Osimhen’s transfer.

Varriale said on Radio Kiss Kiss, via Siamo Il Napoli, "Napoli is having some problems with the Osimhen affair, I thought it was guaranteed by the clause and that maybe there was already a team ready to pay it.

"The real problem is not that Osimhen has played a season below par, but that some big leagues are in financial difficulty.

"Prices have dropped, while last year PSG spent 90 for Kolo Muani and 80 for Ramos. The real problem is that there is less money in circulation."

Osimhen stays at Napoli before the Serie A season begins because none of his potential suitors are ready to trigger his €130 million release clause.
