Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has had a record-breaking season in the Turkish Super Lig, scoring 26 goals in 31 appearances, according to a Pulsesports.ng report from May 31, 2025. His impressive form has intensified Chelsea’s interest, but Peter’s public disclosure of their efforts has stirred both excitement and skepticism among fans.
Peter Psquare’s post has elicited a wide range of reactions from Chelsea fans on X, reflecting the polarizing nature of Osimhen’s potential transfer. Some fans appreciate Peter’s dedication, with one user, @Tonycruz201, humorously questioning, “Unto say you be Chelsea owner 😂,” acknowledging his unexpected role as a transfer mediator. However, others were less enthusiastic, with @TheBlueDodger expressing frustration, stating, “We don’t need this shit. It’s been a good last week, and it should be kept private. What will be, will be.”
More critical responses came from users like @CFCAccountable, who wrote, “Loud mouthed people like you and Obi Mikel are one of the main reasons we don’t want Osimhen anywhere near the club. Unnecessary drama, insane demands, and the ego of Cristiano Ronaldo with the talent of Gabby Agbonlahor.” Concerns about Osimhen’s high wage demands and the drama surrounding his persona were echoed by @CFCMJordan, who noted, “Your boy is chasing the bag, which is fair but Chelsea won’t match his demands. Full stop.” These reactions highlight the tension between Osimhen’s undeniable talent and the challenges of integrating him into Chelsea’s squad.
Victor Osimhen’s potential move to Chelsea has been a topic of intense speculation since 2024, when a deal with Napoli fell through, leading to his loan move to Galatasaray, as detailed in a Pulsesports.ng article from May 31, 2025. Osimhen’s stellar performance in Turkey—37 goals in all competitions and a Turkish Super Lig Golden Boot—has only heightened interest from clubs like Chelsea, Juventus, and even Saudi Pro League teams, according to a Football.London report from May 27, 2025. However, his high wage demands and Napoli’s substantial asking price have complicated negotiations.

Chelsea’s interest in Osimhen aligns with their need for an experienced striker to complement Nicolas Jackson, as noted in the Football.London article from May 28, 2025. Yet, the club’s new ownership has shifted its approach to player compensation, making Osimhen’s demands a potential sticking point, as highlighted by X user @waynepaynex, who remarked, “Chelsea business model towards player compensation has changed in recent years with the new owners.” This financial hurdle, combined with Peter Psquare’s public involvement, has made the transfer saga a focal point of debate among fans and pundits alike.
