The French giants are making significant strides, with the Nigerian international reportedly keen on the move. Romano stated that Osimhen has given his approval to PSG, marking a crucial development in the transfer saga.
The news comes as a potential setback for Chelsea, who are running out of time to secure the striker’s signature. While Osimhen has a reported £113 million release clause in his contract with Napoli, this hasn’t deterred PSG from pursuing the deal.
Chelsea must act swiftly if they hope to land Osimhen, as PSG’s progress in talks signifies a growing likelihood of the striker heading to Paris.
The coming days will be critical as both clubs vie for one of football’s most sought-after talents. With Romano’s latest update, the pressure is on Chelsea to make a decisive move before it’s too late.
