Osimhen rejects Paris Saint-Germain’s interest

The coast is clear for Chelsea to bid for their target Victor Osimhen after the Napoli striker rejects returning to Ligue 1 amid Paris Saint-Germain links.

This is reported by Tutto Napoli citing the editorial staff of Radio Kiss Kiss.

 Paris Saint-Germain had wanted to sign him in the summer as a replacement for departing Kylian Mbappe.

It was gathered that the Nigerian forward has no intention of playing in the Ligue 1, having previously played for Lille. As a result, they are not fascinated by the idea of playing with the French giants.

Activating Osimhen’s €130 release clause might not be a problem for the Paris-based club, but convincing the 25-year-old African footballer of the year to return to France is their biggest hurdle.

The Nigeria international is said to be eyeing a move to the Premier League, and Chelsea are mentioned as a possible destination. Having named Didier Drogba his idol, moving to the Stamford Bridge might be easy.

If Chelsea signs Osimhen, they must devise a plan for paying the one-time Serie A striker of the year’s monumental release clause, which is around €130m.

According to reports, Chelsea are considering offering Napoli a p

Since his move to the Naples club, Osimhen has scored 76 goals in 132 all-competition appearances.

What’s left is whether both parties will find an agreement, as Chelsea currently needs a manager after parting ways with Mauricio Pochentinno a few days ago.

The Blues are expected to announce his replacement and start their summer business soon.

With some players set to leave the club, Chelsea should be able to balance their book.
