Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly decided to join Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) over Chelsea in a blockbuster summer transfer move.

Osimhen, who has been a key player for Napoli in recent seasons, has been linked with a move away from the Italian club for some time now, with both PSG and Chelsea expressing interest in the forward.

According to Italian newspaper Il Mattino, Osimhen has made his decision to join PSG, despite also having a release clause of €120m that Chelsea could have activated.

The report claims that Osimhen has been impressed by PSG’s ambition and believes that the club is the best place for him to continue his development.

However, there is still some work to be done before the deal can be finalized, as PSG and Napoli have yet to agree on a fee for the player.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the transfer, Osimhen’s decision to join PSG is a major coup for the French club. The 23-year-old is a prolific goalscorer and would be a valuable addition to PSG’s attack.

Osimhen’s arrival would also ease the pressure on Kylian Mbappé, who has been PSG’s main source of goals in recent seasons. Mbappé has been linked with a move away from the club himself, so Osimhen could be the perfect replacement for the French superstar.

Only time will tell whether Osimhen’s move to PSG will go through, but one thing is for sure: the Nigerian striker is a hot commodity, and his signature would be a major statement of intent from the French champions.
