Osimhen ready to snub Chelsea for French giants

The 25-year-old is said to be ranking prominently on their wish list to lead their line during the 2024/25 season.

The Lagos-born is one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe, having been linked with moves to Chelsea, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Liverpool, among others, following impressive seasons with Napoli.

Despite the departure of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid, PSG remained silent on their pursuit of Osimhen, being also reluctant to meet the hefty £113m asking price for the striker and were happy with the duo Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani.

Osimhen was believed to be keen to test himself in the Premier League after making a name for himself in Serie A with Napoli and in Ligue 1 with Lille, whose rivals Paris Saint-Germain were formerly thought to be Chelsea’s main contenders.

However, according to journalist Florian Plettenberg—via The Sun—Osimhen instead has his heart set on joining the French champions, who could now reignite their interest due to a serious injury to one of their strikers.
