Meanwhile, PSG would have to offload a big-name attacker before they could sign Osimhen, according to Sky Sports Germany. Portugal international Goncalo Ramos and France forward Randal Kolo Muani are the two main players on that list after struggling to cement a starting spot.
As well as this, it's added that Osimhen has his heart set on a move to PSG. He is prepared to wait until the end of the window to seal the deal as the French side attempt to go and sell one of their forward players.
Chelsea are hoping to get Romelu Lukaku out of the doors and a player-plus-cash swap deal involving Osimhen had been mooted over the summer. Lukaku spent last season at Roma and worked with Antonio Conte at Inter Milan. The 31-year-old Belgian netted 21 goals in 47 appearances in 2023/24.
As for Arsenal, the Gunners have been linked with a move for Osimhen this summer as Mikel Arteta's side try and add another forward to their squad. But their transfer plans could change after Kai Havertz scored one and set up another in the 2-0 win over Wolves on Saturday.
Speculation around Osimhen comes as ex-Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel shared a different view over where the Nigerian might want to move to this summer. "There’s interest from both sides," Obi Mikel said on beIN SPORT. "He wants to come to the club.
"The club, I think, want a proven goalscorer and that’s no disrespect to Nicolas Jackson. Last season he did well but I think we need more. We’ve had a few text messages here and there. I’ve told him how good the club is and what a fantastic place it is to improve.
"He’s interested which is encouraging. He wants to come to the club. Chelsea is a massive club and he would like to follow in the footsteps of other Nigerians to play for Chelsea.
"I think it’s 60/40 in favour that Osimhen comes, I think so, he wants to come. I think there should be a straight swap because Napoli want [Romelu] Lukaku."
