Chelsea are reportedly in contact with Napoli over a potential deal for Victor Osimhen.

The London-based club have asked the Italians to name their price for the Nigeria international, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.

Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in the 25-year-old, who joined Napoli in 2020 from Lille in a €77.5 million deal.

He went on to renew his contract last year until the summer of 2026. 

Napoli are demanding €100m plus two Chelsea players, and have identified Romelu Lukaku, who is currently at Roma on loan, as a primary target.
