Contact has been initiated by Chelsea with Napoli in their pursuit to acquire Victor Osimhen this upcoming season.
A plan to secure the services of the Super Eagles striker ahead of the next campaign is in motion, as per reports from Di Marzio.
The proposed deal being negotiated revolves around a sum ranging from €80-90m along with Romelu Lukaku, who is currently on loan at Roma, and a promising young player.
Competition from Paris Saint-Germain awaits Chelsea in the race for Osimhen’s signature.
The reigning Ligue 1 champions are prepared to activate Osimhen’s €120m release clause and provide him with a four-year contract valued at €13m annually.
Chelsea’s potential withdrawal from the competition might be influenced by financial limitations and the necessity to adhere to the Profit & Sustainability Regulations (PSR) of the Premier League.
