Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain appear to be eyeing Napoli’s star player, Victor Osimhen, with reports suggesting that securing his transfer could come with a price tag of around €130 million.
This 2023-24 season, Osimhen played in 32 matches across all competitions, scoring 17 goals and recording four assists. Although injuries and playing at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations contributed to his goal tally dropping, there’s still interest in the striker.
Both clubs are eager to bolster their attacking lineups for the upcoming season. Still, Chelsea have the upper hand, as one report reveals that a move to the Premier League is the top choice this summer.
Corriere Della Sera reports that the puzzle pieces are beginning to move regarding the striker position at Napoli. According to the outlet, potential new Napoli boss Antonio Conte wants to sign Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku to replace Osimhen, who hopes to join a Premier League team.
