Chelsea still pursuing Osimhen despite Napoli-PSG agreements

Posted : 20 July 2024

Two-time UEFA Champions League winners Chelsea have not abandoned their pursuit of Napoli and Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen.


Over recent months, the 25-year-old forward has attracted interest from some of Europe’s top clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain, with all three vying for the former LOSC Lille player.


Ligue 1 champions PSG have reached an agreement with Osimhen on personal terms, but finalizing the deal with Napoli's board remains challenging due to his €130m release clause.


Chelsea have long admired the former VfL Wolfsburg player, but their interest had waned as they explored more affordable alternatives like Jhon Duran and Sam Omodiron.


According to Caught Offside, Chelsea hope PSG's negotiations with Napoli might lead to a reduction in Osimhen's release clause, allowing them to step in and attempt to hijack the deal.


Osimhen is expected to leave Italy this summer, with Chelsea fully aware that PSG currently lead the race for his signature. The Blues are in dire need of a striker, and despite being linked to several alternatives, they have yet to make an official bid for any of them.


Meanwhile, Enzo Maresca’s team is looking to free up wage space and generate funds from the sale of Armando Broja and Romelu Lukaku to secure their preferred target, Victor Osimhen.
