According to reports, the 25-year-old is high on their wish list to start at center for them in the 2024–2025 campaign.
After having successful seasons with Napoli, the Lagos native is now one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers, having been linked to moves to Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool, among other teams.

Even when Kylian Mbappe left PSG for Real Madrid, PSG said nothing about their interest in Osimhen. They also refused to pay the striking star’s high £113 million asking price, content with the combination of Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani.

After establishing himself in Serie A with Napoli and in Ligue 1 with Lille—whose rivals Paris Saint-Germain were once supposed to be Chelsea’s primary opponents—Osimhen was reportedly eager to prove himself in the Premier League.

Instead, Osimhen is dead set on signing with the French champions, who may now pique Osimhen’s interest again because of a serious injury to one of their strikers.
Goncalo Ramos suffered a serious ankle sprain 20 minutes into Les Parisiens’ opening Ligue 1 match against Le Havre on Friday. As a result, PSG is anticipated to resume their hunt for a new striker before the transfer window shuts.

After surgery, the Portuguese will likely be sidelined for three months, and Osimhen is willing to wait until the “eleventh hour” to finalize his ideal relocation to Paris.

The most recent event is said to have cast further doubt on Chelsea’s intended triple exchange agreement for the Nigerian.

Osimhen has accumulated 76 goals and 18 assists in 133 games across all competitions for Napoli since 2022, but since it was revealed that he wanted to leave this summer, he has not been allowed to return to the team.
The 2024–25 Serie A season for Antonio Conte’s team got off to a 0-0 tie against Hellas Verona on Sunday at the Stadio Bentegodi.
