Despite the turbulent season at Napoli, Osimhen has excelled in Serie A, scoring 11 goals and providing three assists in 18 league appearances.
Heading into the summer transfer window, the 25-year-old emerges as the most captivating striker in the market.
Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com reports that Osimhen has initiated transfer talks for the summer, entrusting his agent Roberto Calenda to secure a high-profile move away from Napoli.
Already having made his decision, Osimhen has disclosed his future club to his inner circle, with Chelsea, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain emerging as the top contenders.
With a €130m release clause in his contract, Napoli anticipates its fulfillment.
However, journalist Ben Jacobs suggests that Chelsea may have the financial capacity to secure Osimhen’s signature.
It remains to be seen whether such a monumental deal will materialize this summer. If successful, it could set Chelsea up for a promising 2024/25 campaign.
