Key developments are expected in the coming days regarding Chelsea’s interest in Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, with Paris Saint-Germain also in pursuit of the highly-rated Nigerian international.
Victor Osimhen’s stellar performance in Serie A has piqued interest, making his potential move to the Premier League a subject of much speculation.
However, his decision remains uncertain, particularly with Chelsea vying for his signature amidst a challenging season that could see them miss out on European football.
According to Il Mattino, as translated by Sport Witness, Chelsea’s keen interest in Osimhen might soon lead to discussions about his transfer fee, with Napoli known for their tough bargaining stance, potentially demanding up to €130 million.
Whether Chelsea or Paris Saint-Germain, another interested party, will meet Napoli’s asking price or negotiate for a reduction is yet to be seen.
Osimhen’s transfer is anticipated to be a highlight of the summer transfer window, especially after his significant role in Napoli’s Serie A victory last season.
His departure from Napoli seems inevitable as top European clubs, attracted by his talent, are expected to make their move.
With Chelsea’s recent heavy investments, their link to Osimhen aligns with their ambitions to enhance their squad. Osimhen, 25, could significantly improve Chelsea’s attacking options, offering an upgrade over current forwards like Nicolas Jackson and Armando Broja.
Under Mauricio Pochettino’s management, Osimhen’s arrival could bolster Chelsea’s goal-scoring capabilities, addressing the team’s recent struggles to capitalize on their opportunities.
