If Naples opens a way out for him, Victor Osimhen must find a club capable of paying a very large sum of money.

Which club can afford Victor Osimhen this summer? This is how we could sum up the situation of the Napoli striker. The Italian club’s leaders have opened a way out for him but the conditions are not ideal.
He asked to leave but we are relaxed because we have players in the squad who can replace him.
in the best way “,
said Giovanni Manna, the sporting director of Naples, on Saturday evening at Mediaset.

Problem for the 25-year-old Nigerian center forward, he will be able to leave the 2023 Italian champions if his future employer agrees to pay 130 million euros. This is the sum set by the Partenopei leaders, several media outlets have reported for several weeks. And this reduces the circle of suitors for Victor Osimhen.

Chelsea is watching

This rather colossal amount made PSG grimace. Convinced by the profile of the former Lille player to succeed Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid) as a scorer, the French champion club would have been put off by the imposing departure clause.

Sunday, The Sun relayed Chelsea’s interest in Victor Osimhen. Having, like PSG, a significant financial surface, the leaders of the London club do not want to pay 130M either, we readily assume. Especially since the Blues have already spent a lot on the occasion of the 2023-2024 transfer window, summer and winter.
