Victor Osimhen is waiting in vain for a sign from PSG… As the Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano announced, the Nigerian striker is now “between Chelsea and Al-Ahli”.
Will PSG crack a few days before the end of the summer transfer window and recruit Victor Osimhen? Luis Campos, the sports advisor to president Nasser al-Khelaïfi and head of recruitment for the club, had targeted the Nigerian striker from Napoli a few months ago. But the Red and Blue, put off by the 130 million euros demanded by Aurelio De Laurentiis, the boss of the Partenopei, then moved on. It is clear and simple, Luis Enrique does not want a new center forward, even after the injury of Gonçalo Ramos, unavailable for three months.
Napoli, who have tied up the arrival of Romelu Lukaku, are nevertheless ready to revise their starting price downwards for Osimhen. Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the best informed on the behind-the-scenes of transfers, claims on Tuesday that Chelsea and Al-Ahli remain the two clubs negotiating for Victor Osimhen. The Saudi club made an offer of 65 million euros which was accepted by Napoli and is trying to convince a Super Eagle who is not very interested in exile in the Persian Gulf.
Osimhen finally at Chelsea?
Chelsea can therefore take advantage of this nice discount, even if Naples could then ask for a higher transfer fee, approaching 80 or 90 million euros. In any case, there is no “no offer from PSG” for Osimhen and “PSG is not involved” in the discussions around the Napoli scorer, assures Fabrizio Romano on his two X publications of the day.
The former Lille player (18 goals in the 2019-2020 season) would have made a new quality number 9 for the Parisian team after the departure of Kylian Mbappé at the end of his contract. But PSG was not asked for Gonçalo Ramos or Randal Kolo Muani and the decision-makers in the sports sector, namely Luis Campos and Luis Enrique, have clearly decided to start the season with the squad’s attackers. The Portuguese manager finally opted for Désiré Doué to add an attacking midfielder to the reigning French champion squad.
