Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, Arsenal and Saudi Pro League clubs have expressed interest in the Nigerian but none of the three clubs have been able to get the deal done.

PSG and Chelsea have concrete interest, while Arsenal are monitoring, yet no agreement has been reached with Napoli, with the window shutting in four days.

PSG pull out of Osimhen deal

Di Marzio reported this morning that PSG submitted a new offer of €60 million to Napoli to get the deal done, having already agreed on personal terms with the player.

The reports come after Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli moved close to reaching an agreement with the Naples club for €65mil even though the player is refusing the offer.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano debunked the news that PSG have made an offer. He claimed the French club had left the race and made no official bid.

Chelsea remains a potential destination for the former Lille forward and is one to watch in the final days of the window, with the Blues keen to complete the deal on their terms.

Napoli and Osimhen have dismissed the Blues' offer of a loan with the option to buy.
