French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain is set to shake the football world with a whopping €120m bid for Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, leaving English Premier League giants Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea in the lurch.
Osimhen, a Nigerian sensation, is poised to depart Naples after an illustrious four-year stint, despite recently extending his contract. His stellar performance in Italy has made him a hot commodity in the European football market.
Having played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Serie A triumph last season, Osimhen’s scoring prowess—31 goals in 39 appearances, with 26 in the league—has caught the eye of top clubs across the continent.
Reports from Il Mattino suggest that PSG is ready to trigger Osimhen’s release clause, sealing his move to France. This development deals a significant blow to Arsenal and Chelsea, both of whom have been vying for the striker’s signature for the upcoming 2024/25 season.
Chelsea’s overreliance on Nicolas Jackson for goals has left them scrambling for attacking reinforcements, especially after lackluster performances against Manchester City and Arsenal. Meanwhile, although Arsenal boasts the highest goal tally in the Premier League this season, manager Mike Arteta is still in pursuit of a clinical finisher, given Gabriel Jesus’s underwhelming form.
