Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has garnered interest from numerous top clubs across Europe following his crucial contributions to Napoli’s Serie A success last season.
Despite experiencing a slight decline in form in recent months, Osimhen continues to be highly esteemed as one of the top strikers in global football.
Negotiations advance for Victor Osimhen’s potential move to PSG
According to reports from Italian outlet Il Mattino, negotiations between Napoli and PSG are progressing rapidly, suggesting that Osimhen’s move to the French capital is on the horizon.
PSG is reportedly keen to secure his services promptly, aiming to outpace rivals like Chelsea in the pursuit of his signature. The French club is prepared to meet Osimhen’s €120m release clause and present him with an appealing four-year contract worth €13m (£11m/$14m) per season.
Chelsea had identified Osimhen as their top priority to strengthen their attacking lineup. However, due to financial limitations and the pressing need to adhere to the Premier League’s Profit & Sustainability Regulations (PSR), they were compelled to withdraw from the competition for his signature.
What next for Cheslsea?
With the probable hindrance in their pursuit of Osimhen, Chelsea now faces the task of redirecting their focus towards alternative targets to fulfill their requirement for a top-tier number nine. Candidates under consideration include RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, Brentford’s Ivan Toney, Bayer Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface, and Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres.
Concerns over Christopher Nkunku’s fitness and Nicolas Jackson’s scoring form have intensified Chelsea’s determination to secure a forward to bolster their attacking prowess.
Meanwhile, Sports Buddy reported in recent news that Victor Osimhen shocked the World as he leaps to unbelievable height to score an incredible goal for Napoli against Monza.
