In a post on X, football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano wrote: “Victor Osimhen, not even on the bench for Napoli tonight as plan of both parties remains clear.

“Osimhen wants to leave, Napoli want to bring in Lukaku.

“Talks with PSG are in stand-by since Monday at current conditions.

“Chelsea like Osimhen but won’t pay the clause.”
