Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly interested in Napoli’s star player, Victor Osimhen, who could cost around €130 million as both teams are looking to strengthen their attack this summer.
PSG are looking for a new forward since Kylian Mbappe is getting ready to leave when his contract expires. The capital club will have a major hole in goal-scoring production in their squad next season and the Nigerian might be the answer.
Osimhen seems set to leave his Serie A team, and plenty of clubs will be eager to sign him. However, the Blues will have priority in signing the player despite the recent change in manager, as Mauricio Pochettino will no longer be the manager of the London-based side.
According to TEAMtalk, Osimhen remains entirely committed to the prospect of joining Chelsea despite Mauricio Pochettino’s departure from his managerial position. Furthermore, Chelsea has surged ahead of PSG and Saudi clubs in the competition to secure the striker.
