According to Rudy Galetti via ESPN, Chelsea have identified Napoli forward Victor Osimhen as a priority target to boost the club’s attack this summer.

The interest appears to be mutual, with Osimhen reportedly open to the idea of joining the Blues.

Osimhen, 25, has once again showcased his remarkable talent in the Italian league, scoring 11 times in 17 Serie A matches, building on a fantastic 2022-23 season during which he scored 31 goals in various competitions.

The Nigerian striker, who is tied to Napoli until December 2026, is reportedly looking to make a switch this summer amid interest from Chelsea.

Negotiations for Osimhen seem to be promising for Chelsea, as the player himself is keen on a move to Stamford Bridge.

Rudy Galetti notes that the Blues are ready to activate Osimhen’s release clause, although discussions with Napoli over the payment structure remain.

Additionally, Paris Saint-Germain is another club showing strong interest in acquiring Osimhen’s services.
