Italian League club Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly set to reject Chelsea’s offer in order to join Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in this summer’s transfer market.
Quoted from the Football Italia page, Thursday, Osimhen prefers to join PSG because Chelsea will not be playing in the Champions League competition this season.
PSG is also reportedly looking for a new striker after Kylian Mbappe left who chose to continue his career with Real Madrid after his contract expired with Les Parisiens and Osimhen is one of the names to be brought in.

If in the end Osimhen chooses to join PSG, this will hinder Romelu Lukaku’s transfer from Chelsea to Napoli in this summer’s transfer market.
It was previously known that Osimhen was part of Lukaku’s transfer agreement from Chelsea to Napoli, but after several weeks of negotiations, no agreement has been reached.
In addition, Osimhen is also trying to leave Napoli this summer because the Nigerian player is reluctant to accept a salary cut from Napoli of up to 10 million euros per season.
Victor Osimhen is one of the strikers who is being targeted by many top European clubs after his impressive appearance with Napoli in the last few seasons.
