Chelsea FC Secures Samuel Omorodion Signing from Athletico Madrid

Fabrizio Romano, a trusted football transfer expert, has announced that Chelsea FC has completed the acquisition of Samuel Omorodion from Atlético Madrid for a £35 million transfer fee.

Omorodion has committed to a seven-year contract with the London-based club and is scheduled to undergo medical evaluations.

Despite interest from other top-tier teams, including Bayer Leverkusen, the young talent has opted to join Chelsea’s ranks.

This strategic signing addresses Chelsea’s search for a skilled striker, following intense speculation surrounding a potential deal for Napoli’s Victor Osimhen. Omorodion’s addition represents a forward-thinking investment in the team’s future.

The 20-year-old Spanish striker, who boasts Nigerian heritage, brings valuable experience to Chelsea, having netted eight goals in 34 La Liga appearances during his loan stint at Alaves.
