Osimhen’s move in doubt with Chelsea unwilling to pay new players over £70,000

Date:

Chelsea is setting a maximum wage limit of £70,000 per week for new signings. Sky Sports transfer expert Kaveh Solhekol reports that the club is not pursuing players who demand contracts worth £200,000 or £300,000 per week.

As Enzo Maresca aims to strengthen his squad with a new striker, Chelsea is being linked with Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Brentford’s Ivan Toney.

But it now appears the deal for Toney would be easier to do, as Osimhen is reluctant to take a pay cut.

According to Solhekol, “the average wage of their new signing is between £60,000-a-week and £70,000-a-week.

“That is the base wage before you add in bonuses.

“I think there is a feeling that Ivan Toney is willing to fit into that wage structure. Also, he’s coming from a club like Brentford who are not famed for paying massive wages.”
