Victor Osimhen’s impressive performance for Napoli has drawn attention from Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea
Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen is said to have ruled out joining Paris Saint-Germain in the next summer transfer window, Soccernet.ng understands.
Earlier rumours indicated that the French team intended to agree to Napoli’s terms in order to recruit the 24-year-old, since they would let Lionel Messi depart when his contract expired.
The French Ligue 1 is not a priority for the Nigerian star, according to Footmercato. Instead, his desire to sign with a team in the English Premier League remains.
According to reports, the Blues will be missing some of its highest-paid players in the next season, which prompted a serious hunt for an ideal replacement in the summer. However, Osimhen is at the top of their list of candidates.
The Super Eagles player will probably be heading to England when the summer transfer market opens as a result of his strong play for Napoli this season, which caught the attention of certain English clubs, including Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal.
The Red Devils, who have been eager to recruit a striker since Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure, are reportedly in the lead in the pursuit of the attacker.
As previously reported, the Old Trafford team deployed scouts to observe the Nigerian during Napoli’s Champions League quarterfinal match against Milan last week. And despite suggestions that the 2012-13 Premier League champions would rather settle for Tottenham star Harry Kane, the Mirror suggests that the Nigerian tops the team’s wishlist for a forward.
Although the Nigerian has yet to declare which club he would want to join publicly, he previously stated that he would discuss this with his agent when the current season is done.
