Chelsea and PSG set for a fierce battle over Victor Osimhen
The race to sign Victor Osimhen is heating up, with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain both vying for the prolific Nigerian striker’s signature.
The Blues were keen on securing Osimhen last summer, but negotiations hit a roadblock due to wage disagreements. Chelsea pushed for a pay cut, but the 26-year-old stood firm, ultimately opting for a loan move to Galatasaray instead.
That decision has paid off handsomely. Osimhen has been on fire in Turkey, netting 26 goals and providing four assists in just 30 appearances. With his stock higher than ever, the former Lille forward is now eyeing a bigger challenge, and both Chelsea and PSG are ready to pounce.
For PSG, Osimhen could be the ideal replacement for Randal Kolo Muani, who is expected to depart this summer. Chelsea, on the other hand, are in desperate need of a proven goal scorer, and their interest could intensify if they secure Champions League football next season.
With both clubs financially capable of meeting Osimhen’s demands, this transfer saga is set to be one of the most intriguing of the summer. Who will win the race? Stay tuned.
