NEWS. . . BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Napoli striker Victor Osimhen will join Paris Saint-Germain this summer, according to reports in Italy.
Chelsea have made Osimhen one of their targets for the summer transfer window, but have faced a tough party from PSG.
Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis has already shown that the Nigeria international, who has a clause of between €120 million (£102. 6 million) and €130 million (£111. 2 million) in his contract, will leave at the end of the season.
And according to Italian Il Mattino, Osimhen is “one step away” from signing for PSG and Napoli are waiting for the French club to respect the striker’s release clause.
Osimhen, for his part, has already indicated that he will bid an emotional farewell to Napoli fans next month.
“For me it’s a fantastic feeling, in some clubs it’s the story that creates identity, in Napoli it’s the enthusiasts who make the team what it is. The way they put together the team and each player is really incredible,” Osimhen said. this week.
“Sometimes I understand why some legends from the afterlife cried when they left Napoli, because it’s a normal emotion to play in the stadium and hear your call shouted from the first minute until the 90th, supporting the team and cheering them on. “
Osimhen’s resolution will be a blow to Chelsea, who have struggled in front of goal this season due to Christopher Nkunku’s injury and Nicolas Jackson’s inconsistency in the box.
Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel claimed in February that Osimhen was interested in moving to Stamford Bridge.
Asked if Osimhen joining Chelsea was a “real possibility”, Mikel replied: “I think there is genuine interest between the two of us. I think he loves the club, he needs to come to the club.
“London too, city, instead of going to Liverpool or places like that, you’d rather live in London.
“But it’s very interesting. Paris Saint-Germain, Man United.
“I keep pushing, sending him messages, trying to make sure he doesn’t expect too much, restricting your brain to just one club: Les Bleus. “
