Napoli expecting offer from PSG for Victor Osimhen next week

Chelsea could be handed a huge blow with Napoli expecting an offer from Paris Saint Germain for Victor Osimhen next week according to reports. 

With less than a week of the window remaining Osimhen, who is currently training away from the Napoli squad still hasn’t found a new club.

The Nigerian, who is regarded as one of the world’s best strikers has a release clause in his contract thought to worth around £113m but no club has been prepared to meet that valuation.

The report adds that the French giants are the club at the top of Osimhen’s “wish list” whilst Chelsea are still there but are only interested in a loan deal which doesn’t appeal to the player or Napoli.

Osimhen’s future is set to be decided next week.

PSG had expressed interest earlier in the summer but despite getting the green light from Osimhen for the move they couldn’t agree a fee with Napoli.

The Blues will be hoping that the closer it gets to the end of the window Osimhen will change his stance on a loan deal, although any loan will likely have to include an obligation to buy, whilst the striker isn’t prepared to take a wage cut either.
