The £325,000-a-week ace has also been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge.
One business plan brings in a new player to compete with the likes of Raheem Sterling, Noni Madueke and Mykhailo Mudryk. There are also suggestions that Chelsea could make a move for Sterling this summer, as links continue to surround a move for Borussia Dortmund star Karim Adeyemi.

Adeyemi could be offered a long-term contract to join Chelsea, and there have been rumblings that a bid could be made for the German. Former Crystal Palace player Michael Olise was also in talks to join Chelsea, but the 22-year-old opted to join Vincent Kompany at Bayern Munich.
There are other options for Adeyemi and Olise, however, with Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams continuing to attract interest from Chelsea. The 21-year-old, who has registered 19 assists in all competitions for Bilbao, also played for Spain at Euro 2024 – even scoring against England in the final last Sunday.
Maresca is said to be looking for a new striker at Chelsea, who will be able to compete with Nicolas Jackson. A number of interesting names have been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, as the club consider bringing in a new point forward.
Jackson and Cole Palmer scored 42 goals between them under Mauricio Pochettino last season, but it remains a case of Chelsea keen to land a new target.
Perhaps the club's pick of the rumored Chelsea target is Napoli star Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian has been one of Serie A's top scorers and standout players for a few years now, and his haul of 31 goals in all competitions in 22/23 helped Napoli to their first Scudetto in decades.
His contract includes a £110 million release clause, which clubs have been reluctant to match until now, but the forward has no shortage of suitors.
Victor Osimhen is set to join Chelsea over PSG
According to RMC Sport, clubs in Saudi Arabia and European heavyweights PSG are battling to sign the 25-year-old.
Osimhen also has a proposal on the table to join Chelsea, with Maresca's side described as the most notable English club in the race for his services. Some reports have recently claimed that Osimhen sees Chelsea as his best option to leave Napoli in the coming weeks, so this could be considered before the August 30 deadline.
However, it remains to be seen if Chelsea will have to waive his entire release clause, or if Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is willing to negotiate with the player called “the beast” by commentator Raj Chohan.
