It was gathered that United are preparing a €110million bid for the 25-year-old, while Arsenal and Chelsea offered €90million.

French club Paris Saint-Germain and Spanish giants Real Madrid have also been linked with the former Lille striker.

Football Italia wrote in a statement via Punch:

“The Blues are interested in Napoli star Osimhen and they are ready to place a €90m bid at the end of the season.

"Arsenal and PSG are also interested in the Nigeria international and are willing to match the Blues’ offer."

Despite missing a large chunk of the 2023/24 season due to injuries and his involvement with Nigeria at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, the striker still boasts 14-goal involvement for his club so far this season.
