A potential transfer move involving a notable striker to Chelsea is facing a hurdle due to the player’s high wage request of £500,000 per week, as reported by sources.
The player in question, a Nigerian international, is reportedly seeking to depart from his current club this summer.
The likelihood of the player joining Chelsea hinges on his willingness to reconsider his wage demands.
Other clubs, such as Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal, are also showing interest in signing the forward.
This player, who moved to Napoli from Lille in 2020, recently signed an upgraded contract with his current club, significantly increasing his earnings following an impressive season where he played a key role in Napoli’s success.
While the player is eager to switch clubs, reports suggest that he is unwilling to lower his wage expectations for a potential move to Chelsea.
Discussions around the player’s transfer have been ongoing, with negotiations involving both clubs and the player’s representatives, but an agreement has yet to be reached.
Chelsea, who have been seeking a prolific goalscorer, may need to reconsider their interest due to the high financial demands of the player.
