Paris St-Germain has emerged as a frontrunner in the pursuit of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.

Reports from Italian media outlet Corriere dello Sport suggests that the French powerhouse is keen on securing Osimhen’s services from Napoli and is prepared to meet his staggering £111.5 million release clause.

According to sources, PSG’s interest in the 25-year-old forward has intensified, with the club eager to bolster their attacking lineup ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.

Osimhen has attracted attention from several top clubs across Europe, but PSG appears to be the most determined in securing his signature.

Meanwhile, in response to PSG’s pursuit of the Nigerian, Chelsea is reportedly exploring alternative options in the striker market.

The London-based club is now scouting Girona’s Ukrainian international Artem Dovbyk, 26, as a potential target should Osimhen opt for a move to Paris.

Despite signing a new contract with Napoli last summer, Victor Osimhen’s future at the club remains uncertain, as the Serie champions would be willing to entertain offers.
