Manchester United are expected to make Napoli striker Victor Osimhen one of their key transfer targets in the summer, but they won’t be the only club trying to sign the Nigeria international.
Osimhen has scored 25 goals in 29 games in all competitions this season with Napoli are on the brink of winning the Serie A title, and into the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
Football Insider reports that Chelsea have now identified the former VfL Wolfsburg, Charleroi and Lille attacker as the possible solution to their goal-scoring problems, and are preparing a bid in the region of £100m.
However, Chelsea are unlikely to be in the Champions League next season — unless they win the competition this season.
The Blues are 10th in the Premier League table, 11 points adrift of the top four, and face Real Madrid in the last eight of the UCL.
United remain in pole position to sign the 24-year-old, though the Red Devils have also been linked with moves for Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos and Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane.
