Chelsea's chances of signing Victor Osimhen have been handed a major boost amid the emergence of a secret clause in his contract. The Nigerian striker, who came close to joining the Blues in 2024, moved to Galatasaray from Napoli last summer, after spending the 2024/25 season on loan in Istanbul.

The transfer brought to an end years of speculation linking him with a move to the Premier League, with Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool also monitoring the forward at different stages. However, speculation is ramping up again, particularly after Osimhen admitted he does "not know what the future holds" for him, fuelling talk of a potential summer exit.

Juventus appeared to be lining up a blockbuster move for the 27-year-old, but a reported stipulation in Osimhen's Galatasaray contract means a switch to Turin isn't just unlikely - it's basically impossible. Here, football.london explains all.
