BREAKING✅✅: Todd Boehly & Enzo Maresca Clash Over Chelsea Long Term Target, Boehly Insists On Spending £130m While Enzo Want Flop As His Striker – Sports News At It’s Finest
Fabrizio Romano has raised doubts about whether Chelsea will adhere to Todd Boehly’s reported recommendations for their transfer strategy this summer. With another active transfer window on the horizon, Chelsea’s owners are responsible for supporting yet another new manager. The club is close to announcing Enzo Maresca as the new head coach, following the departure of Mauricio Pochettino just over a week ago.
Reports suggest that Chelsea is gearing up to make up to five new signings to give Maresca a strong start in his first Premier League role. A primary focus for the club has been securing a top-tier striker, a need emphasized in several transfer windows. Victor Osimhen has been frequently linked with Chelsea, especially since he is expected to leave Napoli after their lackluster title defense.
Todd Boehly reportedly had Osimhen as his top target, seeing the Nigerian striker as a perfect addition to the squad. However, Romano revealed that Chelsea is currently not pursuing Osimhen. He tweeted that while Chelsea aims to sign a new striker for the upcoming season, there have been no negotiations or discussions regarding Osimhen, irrespective of Romelu Lukaku’s involvement. Romano confirmed that Chelsea does not plan to move for Osimhen at this time, with Lukaku and Armando Broja likely to depart the club.
Chelsea will probably consider the performance of Nicolas Jackson, who had a commendable first season in the Premier League. This might influence their transfer priorities, as there is a belief that strengthening other areas is more urgent than the striker position.
As Chelsea navigates the summer transfer market, their strategy seems to be evolving. The focus may now be on reinforcing other positions to support Maresca’s tactical vision comprehensively. The decision not to pursue Osimhen could indicate a broader approach to building a balanced and competitive squad for the upcoming season.
