In the summer transfer window, Victor Osimhen is anticipated to be at the top of many clubs’ transfer wish lists.
Victor Osimhen, a transfer target for Chelsea and Arsenal, will reportedly decline a move to the Premier League in favor of joining Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.
The agent for Thiago Motta, the head coach of Bologna at the moment, claims that the striker for Napoli has instructed Roberto Calenda to begin preparations for a transfer to the French powerhouses.
Motta’s agent, Dario Canovi, stated that his preference is for the Nigerian international to go back to Ligue 1 rather than the Premier League. Due to the fact that both Chelsea and Arsenal prioritize having a striker at the end of the season, Osimhen has been heavily linked to both teams.
“In my view, it is very likely he will play for Paris Saint-Germain,” Canovi stated. “Kylian Mbappe has been a Real Madrid player for months, and it’s a farce that they are trying not to tell us about, but it would be the best signing to replace him.”
It was only at the beginning of the year that Osimhen agreed to a new contract with Napoli. It’s not anticipated that the extension will keep him in Italy past this summer, though.
It is anticipated that his contract will include a release clause worth approximately €130 million (£111 million). While Arsenal paid over £100 million for Declan Rice last summer, Chelsea has already demonstrated their willingness to spend heavily on their targets.
But Mbappe’s impending transfer to Real Madrid is expected to provide PSG with additional funding to entice Osimhen to the Premier League. Even though Mbappe left for free when his contract expired, they should save about £171 million annually on the France forward’s salary.
