The Samuomorodion contract, a big striker prospect that Chelsea was trying to bring in, was not finalized.
Chelsea wanted to recruit a striker who can compete with Nikola Jackson this summer. Chelsea have sought to recruit Omorodion, which they have been keeping an eye on in the past. The striker, born in 2004, has shown great potential in Granada and has since moved to Atletico Madrid.
Atletico sent a loan to Deportivo Alaves to help Omorodion continue to grow. In the 2023-2024 season, Omorodion was the main striker in Alaves, scoring eight goals and one assist in 34 games in Spain's La Liga, proving that he can also play in the first division at the age of 19.
Omorodion is a promising player who has many weapons as a striker. He is 193 centimeters tall and muscular, so he is never easily pushed in physical fights. If he starts to run fast and starts to speed up, it is not easy for defenders to block him like Romelo Lukaku. He shows animal movements even in the penalty box and has footwork like a Spanish-born player. However, he still needs a lot of growth in details such as shooting skills and pass accuracy.
Chelsea, which has recently shown its policy of collecting prospects, has even reached an agreement with Atletico to recruit Omorodion. Chelsea's offer was 40 million euros about 60 billion won. On the 8th, European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said, "Omorodion is moving to Chelsea," adding "HERE WE GO," which is only used when a transfer is made.
However, the negotiations were cancelled at the final stage of the transfer. The Athletic said on Sunday that the transfer of Omorodion, former Atletico striker, to Chelsea has been canceled. As he signed a seven-year contract with Chelsea, there was also a clause that allows him to extend his contract by one year. However, his transfer was canceled due to major problems in the finalization of the contract.
With the collapse of the Omorodion deal, Chelsea and Atletico are now talking about variables in the conclusion of the Conor Gallagher negotiations. Omorodion's transfer fee was set to be used by Atletico to recruit Julián Álvarez from Manchester City, so even Julián's transfer is on the verge of collapse. 메이저놀이터
For now, Chelsea and Atletico are seeking a new deal as they resume negotiations over João Felix. The butterfly effect that the failure of the transfer to Omorodion Chelsea could bring has not yet spread, but if the Felix deal is also canceled, there could be problems with the transfer of Gallagher with 40 million euros about 59.6 billion won and Alvarez with 95 million euros about 141.6 billion won.
