Chelsea are in active negotiations with Victor Osimhen’s representatives over personal terms but are keeping their options open in case the Napoli striker doesn't join them.

The Neapolitans have indicated their willingness to negotiate a lower transfer fee after receiving a €65 million offer from Al-Ahli, making Chelsea change their stance from a loan to a permanent deal.

According to Sky Sports, the London club are looking at other targets, believed to be a four-man shortlist, which includes Jhon Duran and Ivan Toney.
