PSG Set to Make Final Decision on Osimhen Transfer, Could Snub Chelsea

The eagerly anticipated transfer saga of Nigeria international Victor Osimhen has taken a dramatic turn, with PUNCH Sports Extra reporting that he is all set to snub Chelsea and wait for Paris Saint-Germain to make a final decision on his transfer. The 25-year-old hotshot has been a top target for several European clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Liverpool, after displaying impressive form with Napoli.

The development comes after Osimhen’s initial reluctance to join Chelsea this summer, with Napoli demanding the staggering £113m release clause to release him from his contract. Now, with PSG set to rekindle their interest in the striker, it remains to be seen whether Chelsea will reignite their pursuit or opt for an alternative target.

According to reliable sources, PSG are likely to decide on Osimhen’s transfer as one of their strikers, Goncalo Ramos, has sustained a serious injury that will keep him out of action for several months. The Portuguese forward’s setback presents an opportunity for PSG to reinforce their front line, and Osimhen would be an attractive option, despite his hefty price tag.

The Chelsea side, meanwhile, may opt for an alternative target to fill their vacant striker role, given their past attempts to sign Osimhen have been unsuccessful. The triple swap deal that was proposed for Osimhen has also hit a snag, casting doubt on whether a transfer will materialize soon.

Throughout his time in Italy with Napoli, Osimhen has consistently showcased his formidable goal-scoring abilities, claiming 76 goals and 18 assists in 133 matches across all competitions. With many clubs vying for his services, it will be intriguing to see which option Osimhen chooses once PSG makes their final decision. The transfer saga is far from over, and fans will be eagerly awaiting developments from both parties.
