Transfer: Chelsea plan swap deal to sign Osimhen from Napoli

Chelsea has apparently devised a strategy to try to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer.

The Blues are considering an offer of between €80 million and €90 million for the forward, along with Romelu Lukaku and an undisclosed youngster.

However, Mauricio Pochettino's side is willing to give the striker far more than his present €10 million net per season salary.
Osimhen's contract, signed in December, includes a €120 million release clause.

Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis is known for being a strong negotiator, and it remains to be seen whether he will accept the offer.


Paris Saint-Germain, the Ligue 1 heavyweights, are also apparently interested in the Nigeria international.
