Chelsea's dressing room has run out of seats, and the good news is that the transfer of the Parisian Olympic champion striker has come to an end......
Latest news from journalist David Ornstein,OmorodionNegotiations for the transfer broke down due to the terms of the contract.
Chelsea will instead pursue Osimhen after a failed report by journalist Marcos Benito.
Previously, both TA and Fabrizio Romano have confirmed that Chelsea have reached a personal agreement with Omorodion for a transfer fee of £34.5 million, around €40 million, on a seven-year contract with an option to renew for a further year until June 2032.
But the reality was that Chelsea failed to reach a personal deal with Omorodion, which also led to the deal falling through. Both Chelsea and Atletico have clear plans that the transfer fees of Conor Gallagher and Alvarez will not be affected by this, and the two deals will be completed smoothly.
Omorodion came through the Granada academy and joined Atletico Madrid from Grenada for a transfer fee of €6 million in the summer window of 2023, but was immediately loaned to Alaves by Atletico Madrid, returning this summer window.
The 20-year-old Omorodion, 1.93 meters tall, right-footed center forward, has a contract with Atletico until 2028 and is worth 35 million euros. Omorodion played 34 La Liga games for Alaves last season, scoring eight goals and providing one assist. Omorodion played in the men's football team at Paris 2024 with Spain, making four appearances, including one start, playing a total of 94 minutes and scoring one goal to win the gold medal with the team.
