Chelsea have been<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/napoli-table-formal-romelu-lukaku-victor-osimhen-swap-deal-offer-chelsea-outcast-reunite-antonio-conte/blt488f21efed2d791b" target="_blank"> in contact with Napoli throughout the summer</a> to try to negotiate a deal for Nigerian striker Osimhen, with the Italian club keen on signing Romelu Lukaku in exchange. But according to <a href="https://football-italia.net/osimhen-could-snub-chelsea-to-wait-psg-dream/" target="_blank">Football Italia,</a> the 25-year-old is waiting for PSG and is not keen on the idea of joining the west Londoners.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Osimhen is said to be apprehensive about heading to the Premier League as Chelsea will not play in the Champions League this season. The Napoli forward netted 17 goals in 32 appearances for the Serie A side last term, despite the previous champions having a very poor campaign.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

While Osimhen is looking for a move away from the Italian top flight, Lukaku is keen to return again. The Belgian forward has already played for Inter and Roma, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-om/lists/napoli-table-formal-romelu-lukaku-victor-osimhen-swap-deal-offer-chelsea-outcast-reunite-antonio-conte/blt488f21efed2d791b" target="_blank">but is now looking to link up with Antonio Conte again at Napoli</a>.

DID YOU KNOW?

All reports suggest that Osimhen is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-locked-in-victor-osimhen-loan-talks-napoli-push-permanent-romelu-lukaku-transfer/blte7ee3c3990bfb218" target="_blank">holding up a potential swap deal between Napoli and Chelsea, </a>however it is PSG who have come closest to prising the 35-cap international away. According to the report, Napoli have an asking price of €100 million (£86m/$110m) that must be met for them to consider cutting ties with the goal-scorer.
