Chelsea are reportedly preparing a mega double-move deal that will also see them create one of Europe’s most devastating attacking partnerships, but Todd Boehly might have to dig deep into his wallet to fund it. Reports suggest the Blues are chasing Napoli duo Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen, who may also each cash in at more than £100m as Mauricio Pochettino looks to his side.
Pochettino has already made it clear that he needs to sign a striker with a different profile and the Argentine has demanded more goals from his attacking midfielders after a slow start to the campaign.
This is despite the fact that Chelsea have already spent £420 million on players since Pochettino’s signing, given the departures of 17 players in the summer transfer window.
However, reports recommend that Chelsea are hoping to secure the signatures of either player, which would be a major blow to Pochettino and billionaire owner Boehly. ESPN claims Chelsea have “joined the list” of clubs waiting for Kvaratskhelia, who is in talks with Napoli over a new contract.

Kvaratskhelia, 22, proved to be a small price after costing Georgian club Dinamo Batumi £10 million 18 months ago, scoring 14 goals and registering 17 assists as Partenopei won Serie A by far.
A large proportion of the goals scored last season went to Osimhen, who has been on Chelsea’s radar since arriving in Italy, as both men ripped apart opposition defenses last season.
Napoli will almost certainly give up for Kvaratskhelia given that his contract does not expire until June 2027, and the Georgia foreigner is expected to extend his contract, which would come with an extraordinary salary increase following his Ballon d’Or nomination.
The club are valuing him at more than £87 million (€100 million) and it would likely take an offer of more than £100 million to convince president Aurelio De Laurentiis due to his reputation as a ruthless negotiator.

He has shown in the future that he is not willing to budge on his inflated costs in the cases of Kalidou Koulibaly and Edinson Cavani, and will most likely take a stand in the case of Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia.
But Osimhen’s deal has yet to be signed and he has stalled in drafting new terms after a dispute with the club over a social media post of a staff member mocking him, posted on the club’s channels. The Nigerian will be aware of England’s interest in signing him, with Liverpool and Manchester United heavily linked.
The 24-year-old heads Chelsea’s four-man squad to sign a new striker, with Ivan Toney, Ollie Watkins and Benjamin Sesko of interest to the west London club.
Napoli have reportedly once again insisted on a club record sale for Osimhen, a reflection of their prestige as an indispensable team at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona and could force Chelsea to pay more than £100m to land the striker. .
