Unfortunate for Chelsea, Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly close to a €120 million (£103 million/$129 million) deal to Paris Saint-Germain.
During the summer, a number of elite European teams were considering making a bid to acquire the Super Eagles attacker.
However, the player’s negotiations with Napoli and PSG have reportedly reached a significant milestone, according to the Italian newspaper Il Mattino.
When vying for his signing, PSG is prepared to use all of their tricks, even those of Chelsea.
In addition to offering Osimhen a four-year deal at €13 million (£11 million/$14 million) per season, the French club will also fulfill his €120 million release clause.
Chelsea had to withdraw from the competition due to financial restrictions and the pressing necessity to adhere to the Premier League’s Profit & Sustainability Regulations (PSR).
