The transfer of young striker Samu Omorodion to Chelsea has hit a major obstacle, with reports suggesting that the 20-year-old may have failed his medical. Omorodion was notably absent from the Olympic gold medal game on Saturday, which many assumed was due to his impending move to Chelsea, but it now seems there might be a different reason.
Reliable sources like Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein have confirmed these reports, casting serious doubt over the €40 million deal. While it’s not unheard of for deals to recover from such setbacks, this one seems to be in serious jeopardy at the moment.
The situation also raises questions about Conor Gallagher’s potential move in the opposite direction. Chelsea were planning for his departure, but with the uncertainty surrounding Omorodion’s deal and Nico Jackson’s return, it’s unclear whether Gallagher’s transfer will still go through.
