Victor Osimhen’s Transfer Set to Ignite Chelsea’s Summer Market Activity

Napoli Striker’s Move Could Trigger Chain Reaction Benefiting Chelsea and PSG

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is on the verge of completing his long-anticipated move away from the Serie A giants, a development poised to significantly impact Chelsea’s summer transfer plans. Chelsea, previously strong contenders for Osimhen, have had to bow out due to Napoli’s unwavering stance on the Nigeria international’s €130 million release clause.

While Napoli’s hefty demands have also deterred Arsenal and Manchester United, PSG remains engaged in discussions with the Italian club. Osimhen has reportedly agreed to personal terms with the Ligue 1 champions, set to sign a five-year contract worth approximately €14 million per season. However, the deal hinges on PSG successfully negotiating a discount on the transfer fee.

Chelsea stands to benefit from this move as it will facilitate Napoli’s acquisition of Romelu Lukaku for around €25 million.

This transaction is expected to give Enzo Maresca’s team greater flexibility in the transfer market, enabling them to pursue another No. 9 to support Nicolas Jackson. Corriere dello Sport details the current state of negotiations and the subsequent effects on Chelsea and Lukaku:

“The negotiations between Napoli and PSG continue. They are in full swing, in the most delicate phase because PSG are in a hurry to start filling the gap created by the free transfer of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid. Around Europe, it’s difficult to find a centre-forward with the potential and the gift of goals compared to Osimhen.

“Those two clubs are working to reduce the gap in valuations. In Osimhen’s deal, there is the now-famous €130 million clause, which is a parameter that Napoli don’t want to stray too far from, but also a wall the French side wants to chip away at. PSG wants a discount.

“If Osimhen is sold, Napoli will be able to close the announced move of Romelu Lukaku to Chelsea. It’s a story that’s already written because Rom can’t wait to team up with Antonio Conte again. He’s already training, alone on holiday, to be ready.”

As the saga unfolds, the football world watches closely, anticipating the ripple effects Osimhen’s transfer will have on major European clubs, particularly Chelsea and PSG.
