Chelsea have shifted its focus to Atletico Madrid forward Samu Omorodion, effectively closing the door on a potential transfer for Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker, currently with Napoli, has been a subject of intense transfer speculation, but Chelsea’s new direction suggests they are no longer pursuing him.
PSG and Arsenal in the Mix
According to Sky Sport Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Paris Saint-Germain remain interested in Osimhen, who is currently in a strained relationship with the Partenopei. Additionally, Arsenal could re-enter the fray for the talented forward. Despite these interests, Osimhen’s future remains uncertain as he navigates the complexities of his current situation.
Saudi Arabia’s Interest
Saudi Arabian clubs continue to show interest in Osimhen, but their projects have not fully convinced him. This hesitation leaves the door open for other European clubs to make their move.
Waiting for the Season Opener
As the new season approaches, Osimhen is waiting to see if he will be called up for Napoli’s first official match, a Coppa Italia game against Modena on August 10. His participation in this match could provide further clues about his immediate future with the club.
