Jose Mourinho reveals what he does not like about Chelsea’s transfer target.

Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho has revealed what he dislikes about Chelsea transfer target Victor Osimhen.

The transfer saga involving Osimhen was one of the summer’s biggest stories, with both Chelsea and Saudi club Al-Ahli vying for the Nigeria international.

The 25-year-old appeared to be on his way to Saudi Arabia after Al-Ahli reached an agreement with Napoli, but Osimhen did not approve the move, despite Chelsea’s best efforts until the last hours of the transfer window.

Mourinho reveals what he dislikes about Osimhen.
It was reported that Chelsea made six or seven different personal terms offers to Osimhen, who made it clear that he was unwilling to lower his wage demands.

Former Blue John Obi Mikel, who was involved in attempting to bring Osimhen to Chelsea, revealed that a deal was very close, but some minor details were not resolved.

Osimhen remained at Napoli before being loaned out to Turkish giants Galatasaray, where he could make his debut this weekend.

Mourinho, who also made the move to Turkey earlier this summer, has experience coming up against Osimhen during his time as Roma manager, and will be tasked once more with trying

The former Chelsea manager admitted Osimhen is a fantastic player, but he did have one criticism of the striker.

“I don’t have any problems with Victor,” he told HT Spor.

“We have a very good relationship.

“But every time I play against him, I talk to him because I don’t like how he behaves; he dives too often. We had this conversation the last time we played, when Roma faced Napoli.

“I told him, ‘Look, you’re one of the two best African players, alongside [Mohamed] Salah. Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto’o, and George Weah, you could not have behaved like this previously.

“He dives too much; that is my issue with him. But after ten minutes, we’re fine. We have an excellent relationship.

“For the Turkish league it is fantastic and for Galatasaray it is fantastic.”

Osimhen’s loan has a break clause in January and his release clause is now reportedly €75 million, so it’ll be interesting to see if any clubs try to sign him in a few months.
