Chelsea have officially ended their pursuit of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, turning their attention to Atletico Madrid’s Samu Omorodion.

After weeks of complex negotiations with Napoli, which included discussions of a swap deal involving Romelu Lukaku and a substantial cash sum, the London club has decided to move on.

The drawn-out negotiations created anxiety within Napoli, who remain interested in acquiring Lukaku to satisfy new coach Antonio Conte.

However, Napoli needs to sell Osimhen before investing in a new center forward.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Chelsea are now pushing to secure a deal for Omorodion, shifting focus entirely from Osimhen.

Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain remains interested in Osimhen, and Arsenal could also re-enter the race, according to Football Italia.

Interest from Saudi Arabia also exists, but the 25-year-old Nigerian striker is reportedly not keen on that option.
