With the transfer window winding down, the future of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen continues to attract attention from top clubs, as experts David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano reveal that Chelsea and PSG are still in the race for the player.
Osimhen, who was anticipated to depart Napoli earlier in the summer transfer window, finds himself amidst ongoing speculation, with European giants such as Arsenal, Chelsea, and PSG showing varying degrees of interest.
While a couple of clubs from Saudi Arabia have also shown interest in the 25-year-old player, Osimhen seems uninterested in a move to the Middle East for now.
During an episode of the Sky Sports Back Pages Podcast, reputable journalist David Ornstein hinted at the possibility of Osimhen being part of a dramatic transfer deal before the window closes.
“The transfer deadline day is expected to witness the unfolding of the Victor Osimhen saga, potentially leading to a last-minute frenzy as clubs vie for his signature,” Ornstein commented.
“Chelsea’s interest in him persists, with uncertainties surrounding the nature of the potential deal. PSG, on the other hand, had also previously shown keen interest in Osimhen, making the situation quite intriguing. He is a high-profile striker who commands attention.”
The final destination for the Nigerian forward remains uncertain, creating suspense as the deadline approaches.
Meanwhile, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano disclosed that PSG has not yet submitted a formal bid to Napoli but is expected to make a late offer before the impending deadline on Friday.
With an impressive track record at Napoli, where he has scored 76 goals and provided 18 assists in 133 appearances over the last three seasons, the 25-year-old Osimhen continues to be a sought-after talent in the transfer market.
