Victor Osimhen’s Hefty Price Tag Might Keep Him at Napoli
Super Eagles and Napoli Striker, Victor Osimhen, might be unable to leave his club in the coming transfer window due to his hefty price tag.
The 25-year-old striker has grown in leaps and bounds since joining Napoli from Losc Lille in 2020, scoring 76 goals and providing 18 assists in 133 games for Gli Azzurri.
After four years at the club, the Nigerian striker has set sights on a move to a bigger team, preferably, in the English Premier League.
Chelsea, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain are keen on the services of the former Wolfsburg striker. However, there lies a huge stumbling block.
While Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have the financial superpower, arsenal do not, and have set their sights on cheaper targets like RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško.
He is also a welcome profile at Paris Saint-Germain, but the French champions have their gaze fixed on Kvaratskhelia, as he’s considered the appropriate player to fill the void left by Kylian Mbappé.

Napoli have proposed a swap-deal option with Chelsea that will see Romelu Lukaku re-unite with Antonio Conte in Naples, while Osimhen will head to London.
However, both clubs are far apart in their evaluation of Lukaku, as the blues want nothing less than €38m.
PSG do not consider Osimhen a priority at the moment, as they currently have Randal Kolo Muani and Goncalo Ramos as options up-front.
Whether or not Osimhen will leave is dependent on several factors outside of Napoli.
