This move comes after Osimhen reportedly rejected the club’s initial offer. It also appears to be a response to reports from transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, indicating that Chelsea is engaged in ongoing talks with the striker's representatives.

Additionally, the Nigerian forward has been excluded from Napoli’s first-team setup, particularly following the appointment of Antonio Conte as manager.
