Osimhen's Chelsea Transfer Fails Amid Controversies

Jose Mourinho criticized Victor Osimhen for diving too much on the pitch but praised him as a fantastic player, highlighting his potential value to Galatasaray. John Obi Mikel revealed that Osimhen was very close to signing for Chelsea, with the deal collapsing due to last-minute issues related to paperwork and medicals. Despite the failed transfer, Mikel emphasized Osimhen's strong desire to join Chelsea and dismissed rumors of excessive wage demands. Both sides remain interested in the move, potentially revisiting negotiations in the January transfer window. The Nigerian striker is currently on loan at Galatasaray after a tumultuous summer involving a fallout with Napoli's management.
