'Agent' Drogba spotted with Super Eagles' Osimhen again amid Chelsea transfer links
Didier Drogba and Victor Osimhen linked up after Nigeria Super Eagles sent Cote d'Ivoire home at the AFCON 2023.
According to Rai (via CN24), the decision to renew Osimhen's contract was strategically planned, with the intention to sell him in the summer.
The contract includes a release clause applicable to clubs outside Italy. This clause plays a crucial role, as it opens the door for foreign clubs to bid for the prolific striker.
Premier League's Growing Interest
While Paris Saint-Germain's interest in Osimhen has been noted, Arsenal and Chelsea have taken proactive steps by reaching out to the player's representatives. Their interest signifies the high value placed on Osimhen in the transfer market and underlines the Premier League's reputation for attracting top talents.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid's interest in the 25-year-old Nigerian has been more of speculation, as they haven't yet made a concrete move. The inclusion of the release clause, specifically designed for non-Italian clubs, ensures that Osimhen's next destination, if he leaves Napoli, will not be within Serie A.
This clause reaffirms Napoli's intent to not strengthen their domestic rivals, despite former Juventus striker Alessandro Matri's suggestions that Juventus could be a potential destination for Osimhen.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the situation surrounding Victor Osimhen is poised to become one of the hot topics. His impressive performances for Napoli have made him a sought-after player in Europe's elite football circles.
With Chelsea and Arsenal already in the mix, it remains to be seen which club will successfully secure the services of the Nigerian star, shaping their attacking options for the upcoming season.
