Nigerian international Victor Osimhen is poised to reject Chelsea’s advances and hold out for a move to French giants Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports.
Despite Chelsea’s keen interest in signing the Napoli striker, Osimhen is said to have his heart set on joining PSG, who are now ready to make a final decision on his transfer.
The 25-year-old has been linked with several top European clubs, including Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool, but PSG’s interest has been rekindled following a serious injury to striker Goncalo Ramos.
Osimhen is prepared to wait until the end of the transfer window to seal his dream move to Paris.

PSG’s need for a new striker has become more pressing after Ramos suffered a severe ankle sprain in their opening Ligue 1 game, ruling him out for around three months.
Osimhen, who has impressed with his performances for Napoli, is seen as the ideal replacement.
Chelsea’s proposed triple swap deal for Osimhen has been thrown into doubt by the latest development, with the Nigerian striker seemingly set on joining PSG.
Napoli, who have frozen Osimhen out of their squad after he requested to leave, are holding out for a fee of £113m, which PSG may be willing to meet.
