Chelsea have been dealt a significant blow in the pursuit of Victor Osimhen after Napoli president suggested he will cost €200 million.

Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have all been credited with an interest in the Nigeria international after he played a key role as Napoli won the Italian league last season.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis believes French champions PSG are the only team who could afford to buy Osimhen this summer.

“The only club that could afford Victor Osimhen is Paris Saint-Germain. If [PSG president] Nasser Al-Khelaifi wants to send in a bid around €200m (£170m/$220m), we wait and we see what happens. I personally think that Victor will stay here,” he told Sport Mediaset.
