Napoli’s star striker, Victor Osimhen, is on the verge of a blockbuster €120 million (£103m/$129m) move to Paris Saint-Germain, dealing a blow to Chelsea’s transfer aspirations. The talented Super Eagles forward had attracted interest from several top European clubs this summer, but it seems PSG have stolen a march on their rivals.

Reports from Italian outlet Il Mattino suggest that negotiations between Napoli and PSG are at an advanced stage, with the French giants looking to secure Osimhen’s services ahead of the competition. PSG are prepared to activate Osimhen’s hefty release clause and offer him a lucrative four-year deal worth €13 million (£11m/$14m) per season.

Chelsea, on the other hand, have been forced to abandon their pursuit of Osimhen due to financial constraints and the need to adhere to the Premier League’s Profit & Sustainability Regulations (PSR). This development paves the way for PSG to swoop in and secure the highly sought-after striker.

As Osimhen’s future hangs in the balance, all eyes will be on Paris as the French powerhouse looks to bolster their attacking options with the addition of the Nigerian sensation. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing transfer saga.
