Arsenal, PSG Target Firm on Salary Demand, Rejects Straight Loan Amid Chelsea Links

Victor Osimhen is reportedly looking to leave Napoli, but a move hasn’t materialized yet this summer. The Nigerian striker has been linked to Arsenal, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain, but so far, no deal has been reached, and he’s not willing to take a pay cut.

RadioRadio reports that Arsenal are making a strong push to sign Osimhen as the transfer window draws to a close. However, it seems he’s already leaning towards a move to PSG, who have offered him a much higher salary than Arsenal.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently mentioned that a move to Chelsea could only happen through a loan deal. Moreover, on Friday, Romano provided new information on this file.

According to Romano, Chelsea may still be active in the market for attacking players even after securing Neto and Samu Omorodion. While Osimhen is considering an exit, he has no intention of lowering his salary or accepting a straight loan.

Chelsea remains interested, but only if the terms of the deal or Osimhen’s position change. Meanwhile, Napoli continues to push for Romelu Lukaku. As the summer transfer window enters its final weeks, a move for Osimhen has to occur soon.

A move to PSG appears bleak as Fabrice Hawkins of RMC Sport recently reported that manager Luis Enrique isn’t entirely sold on Osimhen’s profile. He’s not convinced that the Napoli striker is the right fit to lead his attack and execute his playing style.

Since transferring from Ligue 1’s LOSC Lille to Napoli, the Nigerian international has netted 76 goals in 133 appearances, including 65 goals in Serie A. Osimhen was also pivotal in securing Napoli’s league title in the 2022-23 season.
