Napoli could be about to receive an offer for Victor Osimhen, who has been linked to the likes of Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
With the No.9 shirt at Chelsea still free, the Blues could sign a new striker before the transfer window closes next week.
If not, then Enzo Maresca is likely to use Nicolas Jackson, Marc Guiu and Joao Felix up front. Christopher Nkunku is also another option for the Italian.
In terms of outgoings, Romelu Lukaku is expected to join Napoli, whether Osimhen stays or leaves.
PSG could make offer for Chelsea target Victor Osimhen
Earlier this week, journalist Ben Jacobs claimed that Chelsea were the only club actively interested in Osimhen. However, that could be about to change.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, there is a feeling that PSG will make an official offer for Osimhen in the next few days.
The same outlet also claims that PSG are at the top of the 25-year-old’s list in a potential blow to Chelsea.
It will now be interesting to see if the two football giants get into a transfer tussle over Osimhen ahead of next Friday’s transfer deadline.
Who should Victor Osimhen join, PSG or Chelsea?
PSG will appeal to Osimhen and can offer the Nigerian something that Chelsea cannot at this moment in time: Champions League football.
At the Parc des Princes, Osimhen will get to be PSG’s main man following Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid and earn huge money, most likely more than what he would get at Chelsea due to the new wage structure at Stamford Bridge.
However, the Premier League remains the best division in the world and there is no reason why Osimhen cannot join Chelsea and help them return to the Champions League.
The opportunity to test himself in the English top flight is a challenge he should say yes to, though it has been reported that Osimhen is unlikely to join Chelsea right now.
