Arsenal are ready to ‘break in’ to sign Napoli forward victor osimhen after player agrees to personal term.

Arsenal ‘BREAK IN’ for osimhen.
The Nigeria international, Victor Osimhen, is anticipated to leave Napoli this summer amid considerable global interest. Chelsea has shown interest in Osimhen for the past year, and their interest has been reignited after unsuccessful attempts to sign Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran and Atletico Madrid’s Samu Omorodion.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Arsenal is also vying for Osimhen’s signature. The Gunners have long admired the striker and may prioritize signing him over another target, Viktor Gyokeres. With Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz as the current forward options for Mikel Arteta, Arsenal is actively seeking a new attacker and could compete with Chelsea for Osimhen this summer.
Paris Saint-Germain is another club interested in Osimhen, but they are currently only willing to offer €90 million. PSG may need to sell either Goncalo Ramos or Randal Kolo Muani before they can proceed with signing Osimhen, complicating a potential move to the Parc des Princes.
Regarding a possible swap deal, Chelsea has been informed of Napoli’s new asking price for Osimhen. While Napoli hopes for his €130 million release clause to be fully paid, they are willing to accept an offer of €71.1 million (£60 million) plus Romelu Lukaku, according to 90min. Osimhen’s Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) is €71.1 million, but Chelsea would need to include Lukaku, whose ETV is €35.2 million, in the deal. Lukaku, who spent last season on loan at AS Roma, is expected to leave Chelsea permanently this summer and was not included in the club’s pre-season tour of the USA, making a move to Napoli a possibility.
