30M Euros a year. 3M Euros a month tax free. 120M in 4 years. How do you say no to that?

Who has offered that?
Wouldn’t you?
Source?
I'm guessing Saudi as we all know the UK isn't tax free
This guy just isn't good. He's record at Napoli isn't even particularly good.
If Osimhen ends up staying, is there a chance they sell Kvar.
65 goals and 16 assists in 108 league appearances for Napoli with a total of 8136 minutes played. That's a goal or an assist per every 100 minutes played. That is an excellent record whichever way you put it.
But then there's the injuries which are my main issue with this guy. Based on his entire career so far he seems to be fit for around 25 league games a season on average, which is not exactly what you'd want from a hugely expensive striker. And while he has so far been able to perform really well between the injury spells, who's to say how long that will continue. The older the player gets the more impact those injuries will have on his body and it's possible he won't age particularly well as a player.
Personally I rate him and think he could be a really good asset for Chelsea if the club can make the finances work. Even the injuries might be manageable because we already have Jackson who I rate rather highly as well. But at the same time I can't say I'd be too disappointed if we miss out, because of the risks involved.
I think he's shite tbh, and barring his one anomaly goal scoring season in 22/23, he hasn't looked great at all. He's another Lukaku but worse.
Chelsea are a ridiculous club, Osimhen and Sancho. The turnover of attackers is mad, like a fellow who buys a PS5 then on the way home picks up a XBOX and a PC as well then starts in on waiting for the Switch 2.
Never overly excited by one dimensional strikers like Osimhen.

DiMarzio reported that AL Ahli has.
Meeting soon between the agent of #Osimhen , Roberto Calenda, and the sporting director of @ALAHLI_FC . Negotiation that is entering the heart of the matter: the striker is offered 30 million per year for 4 years. If Osimhen says yes, the two clubs will try to agree on the figures
I feel with those last minute deals it's generally the clubs that did the prep work or initiated links beforehand that have the best chance to get it done. If that's the same Saudi club that was reported offering 65m a week or so ago, I reckon it's where he's headed.
Oh i misunderstood you then, i thought you meant Chelsea has made a crazy offer
Osimhen to Saudi would be a massive waste of a career.
Haven't seen him play to be honest, but the internet has him in the top 5 strikers in the world in almost every count.
If they sign him, that puts Chelsea on negative 1bn € since the takeover, can anyone explain to me how on Earth this works within PSR?

Easy - you just need to sell hotels to yourself to satisfy the Premier League's rules. Unfortunately for Chelsea, it has emerged that UEFA are a little more strict:

Chelsea has been selling great on players with no/zero book value, and also have been signing a lot of players on long contracts (which helps with keeping ammortisation costs, no longer allowed anymore). They will struggle to sell those players though, as selling them will really hurt their PSR budget.
More than likely Chelsea has 3 issues to negotiate in next 12 months;
1. The outstanding case from 2012 to 2019, as yet no charges have been brought forward and they will get some form of lenancy due to self reporting, however this still involves Potential fraud by Chelsea’s previous owners which gave them a sporting advantage at the time. Who knows? This very much depends on the precedent set by City 115 charges and what or if any punishments are given to Man City. Chelsea could get a points deduction too!
2. The current/next year PSR/Anchoring proposal which will mean the club must sell probably more potential academy players to break even with all their recent expenditure, it’s why I don’t see them buying Osimhen or Toney unless both are under £40m. Last years accounts included no European football revenue, so for them to be spending so much when the 80% squad ratio rule applies to them in Europe this year is staggering, their wages are higher than United’s and this is why they are trying so desperately to remove high earners like Chillwell, Sterling and others. Not sure probably a small fine!
3. UEFA do not recognise revenues generated by selling assets to affiliated or share owned companies, this means they will undoubtedly fail the 80% Squad Ratio test this year where only 80% of what they turnover can b spent on wages, Agent fees and transfers. Best possible outcome a fine, worst transfer embargo 2 seasons and 1 season ban from competition.
There's a serious dearth of actual number 9's around these days. So, by default, he's rated far higher than his actual ability. His technique is poor, and Lukaku at the same age, for me, was a better player. Make of that what you will.
If Chelsea buy Osimhen and Sancho how do they line up having already bought Felix and Neto this window alone, plus having Palmer and the other 6 or 7 options?!
Osimhen apparently really close to joining the saudi club as they're offering 40m per year.
It’s deadline day tomorrow. Napoli have announced Lukaku.
He has a choice between going to Saudi or coming to the PL.

Just a hunch but I'd take it the team of professionals working at Chelsea know what they're doing and the media fear-mongering for clicks will once again fall flat. Nothing has just 'emerged' and they either have it under control or are willing to take the fine in order to realise future gains.
Yeah those professionals have never landed Chelsea with transfer bans in the past
Found his level.
Chelsea in the mud. Sold Lukaku so they could sign him and now he's off for mega money instead.
Sancho is the physical striker Chelsea needs anyway.
Definitely, he had one good season
Hopefully Chelsea sign Sancho in anger then!
What a waste of talent.
We just need to leak a story that he's heading to Saudi unless Chelsea make an offer.
I mean, is it? He's going to get paid above and beyond what someone of his ability should ever receive, so in that regard he's maximising his earning potential, and he's not going to win anything major joining the likes of Chelsea. If you're only options are Napoli, Chelsea or Saudi Arabia then you might as well go and play over there for a while and not worry about working ever again.
