Christian Pulisic will serve as makeweight for Victor Osimhen bid by Chelsea
Napoli, the newly crowned Serie A winners, are allegedly interested in signing Christian Pulisic from Chelsea this summer.
Therefore, Napoli's interest in the American winger could make it easier for Chelsea to negotiate a trade for Victor Osimhen, the Partenopei's leading scorer.
As the Blues attempt to cut their bloated roster in preparation for next season, Pulisic is one of a number of Chelsea players who are anticipated to leave Stamford Bridge.
According to The Daily Mail, Pulisic has interest from Juventus, AC Milan, and Atletico Madrid as well, but Chelsea is more likely to sign a contract with Napoli in the hopes that they can use him as bargaining chips to acquire Osimhen.
Osimhen is reportedly valued at approximately £130 million by the Italian club, but due to Financial Fair Play restrictions, Chelsea would need to negotiate a lower price. Including Pulisic in the trade would assist.
Osimhen's sole likely destination, with Manchester United also keeping an eye on him, is the Premier League because Bayern Munich decided against pursuing a trade due to the extraordinarily expensive valuation.
