Victor Osimhen's proposed contract and salary terms made by Chelsea have been leaked.

The 25-year-old forward could not complete a deadline day move to Stamford Bridge and is set to remain in Italy.

Osimhen's future is also said to be hanging in the balance given his fallout with the club after seeking a move away.

As per Sky Sports in Italy, the Nigeria international was offered a base salary by Chelsea of €4m (£3.3m) a year.

Osimhen was also offered another €4m in bonuses if Chelsea qualified for the UEFA Champions League this season

It is thought his current Napoli salary was in the region of €11m (£9.2m) and therefore an agreement could not be found.

Advances from Saudi Arabia were also made for the Serie A star with there still a chance he could make a summer move to the Middle East.

"Osimhen is a Napoli player, with a contract recently renewed with mutual satisfaction," his agent Roberto Calenda recently said.

"He made history and when there were major offers (also this year) we always accepted the club’s decisions.

"As I said, it is not a package to be shipped far away to make room for new prophets.

"Victor was elected African Footballer of the Year, eighth at the Ballon d’Or, he still has so much to do in Europe.

"There is a need for respect and balance."

Osimhen netted a whopping 17 goals in 32 appearances last season, as Napoli finished 10th in the Italian top flight.

Managed by former Chelsea boss Conte, the 55-year-old said he has nothing but praise for the 25-year-old's talents.

“We are talking about Victor as a professional, an excellent, top player," began Conte.

“I spoke to him and he knows that absolutely nothing has changed.

"He belongs to Napoli and he knows that those who belong to Napoli have to work hard and have the right attitude, even if there is this sort of agreement, that we still don’t know how it will end.

“He’s here with a smile, and what counts at the moment is the training this afternoon and the attitude with me and my colleagues.”
