Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian forward for Napoli, rejected a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain as he aims to join the Premier League instead.

Victor Osimhen, the Napoli striker, seems determined to pursue a move to the Premier League and has reportedly declined Paris Saint-Germain’s offer.

Chelsea has reached out to Napoli regarding a potential swap deal involving Osimhen and Romelu Lukaku, with additional talks about a younger player possibly included in the deal. Despite initial interest from Chelsea, recent reports suggest Lukaku is open to joining Napoli this summer.

According to Gianluca di Marzio via Sky Italia, Osimhen prefers to avoid PSG and is waiting for Premier League clubs to approach him. His reluctance towards PSG stems from his previous stints in France with Lille and his fondness for England, where both Chelsea and Arsenal are rumored to be interested in signing him.

As negotiations unfold, the possibility of a swap deal between Napoli and Chelsea involving Osimhen and Lukaku is being explored. Di Marzio also notes Osimhen’s affinity for England, frequently visiting friends there, making his move to PSG seem increasingly unlikely.
