Osimhen’s desire to leave Napoli resulted in his exclusion from the squad by manager Antonio Conte, which led to his season-long loan move to Galatasaray.
The loan deal includes a break clause that allows him to leave in January if his €75m (£62.8m) release clause is triggered, a fee significantly lower than the €120m Napoli demanded over the summer, which could make a deal more feasible for Chelsea.
Although reports have suggested Galatasaray might be interested in signing the former Lille player permanently, sources close to the Turkish club have dismissed these claims, stating they are unable to meet his price tag.
Meanwhile, Osimhen is reportedly focused on a move to the Premier League and has no long-term plans to remain in Turkey.
Chelsea recently reopened communication with his representatives to gauge his interest in a January move.
