Chelsea is pushing to secure a deal with Atletico Madrid for Nigerian-born Spanish forward Samu Omorodion before the summer transfer window closes. The 20-year-old had a standout 2023/24 season, scoring eight La Liga goals on loan at Deportivo Alaves.
Despite an initial offer being rejected, Chelsea remains keen and is preparing a €35 million bid. The pursuit of Omorodion may signal an end to Chelsea’s interest in Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, who appears unenthusiastic about a potential move to Stamford Bridge. Meanwhile, Omorodion is currently representing Spain at the 2024 Olympics.
