Chelsea have reportedly held further talks with Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as they try to reach an agreement over the player’s wages.
This comes after Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli submitted an initial bid of £55million for Osimhen.
According to Mail Online, Chelsea’s preferred option regarding a deal for Osimhen is a loan with an obligation to buy, rather than an outright purchase.
Napoli and Osimhen have indicated that they may be willing to lower their demands so that a deal can go through before the end of the window.
