Napoli and Super Eagles Striker, Victor Osimhen is not interested in a move to Chelsea, the English Premier League Giant.
The Blues have been active in the summer transfer window, securing the signatures of Tosin Adarabioyo, Caleb Wiley, Omari Kellyman, Filip Jorgensen, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Renato Veiga.
They have also bolstered their attacking options with the addition of Spain Under-19 international Marc Guiu from Barcelona, but despite his impressive pre-season performances,
Chelsea are keen on acquiring an established forward to compete with Nicolas Jackson.
Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move for Osimhen, who has a significant release clause of around £110m and Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has been firm on his
resolve not to accept any offer below that amount.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Osimhen is not excited about the prospect of joining
Enzo Maresca’s side, despite the Nigerian’s resolve to leave Diego Maradona Stadium this
summer.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain is considered Chelsea’s main rival for Osimhen’s signature.
The French club are looking to strengthen their frontline following the departure of Kylian Mbappe but may need to sell either Goncalo Ramos or Randal Kolo Muani before making a move for the Napoli star.
