According to Rudy Galetti via ESPN, Chelsea have identified Napoli forward Victor Osimhen as a priority target to boost the club’s attack this summer.
Osimhen, 25, has once again showcased his remarkable talent in the Italian league, scoring 11 times in 17 Serie A matches, building on a fantastic 2022-23 season during which he scored 31 goals in various competitions.
The Nigerian striker, who is tied to Napoli until December 2026, is reportedly looking to make a switch this summer amid interest from Chelsea.
Negotiations for Osimhen seem to be promising for Chelsea, as the player himself is keen on a move to Stamford Bridge.
Rudy Galetti notes that the Blues are ready to activate Osimhen’s release clause, although discussions with Napoli over the payment structure remain.
Additionally, Paris Saint-Germain is another club showing strong interest in acquiring Osimhen’s services.
