A Chelsea transfer target claims that their potential move fell through due to divine intervention from 'God.'

Samuel Omorodion had a whirlwind summer, filled with ups and downs as he navigated the transfer market. The young forward was initially reported to be Chelsea's top attacking target, with the Blues making a £42m bid for him in July. However, his move to Stamford Bridge fell through due to a disagreement over image rights, and he ended up joining Porto instead.

Reflecting on his transfer saga, Omorodion believes that there was a higher power at play. In an interview with Spanish outlet RTVE, he shared, "I had a very difficult summer. We had a really bad time because in the end, everyone knows that I was close to signing with Chelsea. But it's true that if it didn't happen, it was for a reason, because God didn't want it."

Despite the disappointment of not joining Chelsea, Omorodion is grateful for the opportunity that Porto has given him. He has had a fantastic start with the Portuguese club, scoring seven goals in just seven games. "I'm very happy with where I am now," he said. "I've left the past behind and now I'm focused on what's coming to me."

One of the highlights of Omorodion's time at Porto so far was his performance in the Europa League draw against Manchester United. He scored two goals in the thrilling 3-3 match and caught the attention of many with his impressive skills on the field.

Aside from club success, Omorodion also achieved a major milestone in his international career. He helped Spain win the Olympic gold medal at the Paris 2024 games and has represented his country at both U21 and U23 levels.

Omorodion's journey to success has been a remarkable one. He started his career at Granada before being signed by Atletico Madrid in 2023. After a successful loan spell at Alaves last season, he caught the attention of top clubs like Chelsea. Despite the challenges he faced, Omorodion remains focused on his future and is determined to make the most of his opportunities.
