Napoli’s star striker is reportedly close to sealing a move to Paris Saint-Germain at the end of 2023/24 season, Soccernet.NG reports.
Victor Osimhen, who signed a new deal with Napoli this winter, is now just “one step away” from joining the French giants. This move is set to disappoint Chelsea, who had shown significant interest in the Nigerian to bolster their attacking options.

Despite the admiration from Chelsea legends such as John Mikel Obi and Didier Drogba, who publicly praised the Super Eagles forward, Osimhen seems set on a move to PSG as a replacement for the departing Kylian Mbappe. With a hefty €130 million release clause, his departure from Napoli marks a significant moment as he prepares for an emotional farewell with fans next month.
Last season, Osimhen not only clinched individual accolades, including a top-ten finish in the Ballon d’Or and the African Player of the Year but also contributed significantly to Napoli’s success with 15 goals and four assists in 28 games. His impending transfer will be a crucial development for PSG as they look to bolster their squad for future Champions League campaigns.
