With the transfer window closing in less than 48 hours, the Blues are said to be making a final push to entice the wantaway Napoli forward.
Chelsea are prepared to offer a competitive package, but the question remains whether Osimhen's camp can agree to a deal amid stiff competition from the substantial financial incentives offered by the Saudi Arabian club.
