Revealed: Why Victor Osimhen is willing to reject PSG transfer in favour of Arsenal or Chelsea move

Despite signing a new contract with Napoli in December, with the striker's <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-transfer-blow-victor-osimhen-new-contract-napoli-2026-release-clause-gbp100m/blt93b8ec27d863e7bf#csbdfa47303e17ca25">release clause worth around £113m ($144m)</a>, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis&nbsp;confirmed the Nigerian international would <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-psg-premier-league-napoli-president-aurelio-de-laurentiis-victor-osimhen-leave-summer/blt40dd9c744306af06#cs125b76f5c0978df7" target="_blank">leave the club at the end of the season</a>. The 25-year-old has been linked with PSG, Chelsea, and Arsenal, but according to Italian journalist Gianluca di Marzio, Osimhen would rather play in the Premier League next season, rather than return to Ligue 1.

WHAT HAPPENED?

To sweeten a possible deal, Napoli are reportedly in talks with Chelsea over a cash-plus-player transfer; with Romelu Lukaku possibly moving to the Serie A outfit on top of the Blues forking out a big fee for Osimhen. The former Lille man is also said to be more excited over joining an English top-flight side rather than the Ligue 1 champions.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Since Osimhen swapped Lille for Napoli in the summer of 2020, for a club-record fee of £60 million ($75.2m), he has scored 76 goals in 131 games and helped them to Serie A glory in the 2022-23 campaign - the club's first league triumph in 33 years.

DID YOU KNOW?

While transfer discussions continue behind the scenes, Osimhen's Napoli side take on Bologna in Serie A action on Saturday, before rounding off the season against Fiorentina and Lecce on May 19 and 26 respectively.
