A shock twist in Victor Osimhen’s transfer dynamics has ensued as Paris Saint-Germain look set to return to the negotiating table for the 25-year-old striker.
This comes after striker Gonçalo Ramos suffered a bad injury on Friday night.
Ramos suffered a fractured left ankle during PSG’s Ligue 1 opener against Le Havre, which is expected to keep the attacker out for about three months.
With Ramos out injured, the French giants will now consider the move for a new striker, with Osimhen being the most likely option.
PSG to hijack Victor Osimhen deal from Chelsea
PSG could reignite pursuit of the Napoli striker, having initially failed to reach an agreement with Napoli due to his hefty release clause.
But with Chelsea in the picture, the Ligue 1 champions face fierce battle to land Osimhen.
Recent reports claim that Chelsea and Napoli are exploring a potential swap deal involving Victor Osimhen, with the Blues willing to part with two players and an additional £39 million to secure the Nigerian striker.
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca recently addressed transfer situations involving Osimhen.
“The only thing I can say is they are not our players so it’s not correct to talk about a Napoli player or Atletico Madrid player, he said, per ESPN, when asked about the links to Joao Félix and Victor Osimhen.
Maresca’s comment clearly indicates that a transfer deal with Napoli has not been finalised, which leaves room for a potential PSG hijack.
