Chelsea's hopes for signing striker Victor Osimhen are dashed as PSG shows renewed interest following his injury.

It seems like Victor Osimhen has his sights set on joining Paris Saint-Germain over Chelsea. The Blues may have some competition for the striker's signature as PSG has reportedly re-entered the race for a new frontman.

Earlier in the summer, PSG had engaged in extensive discussions with Osimhen and it was believed that the French capital was his preferred destination. Personal terms were even thought to have been agreed upon, but ultimately the team decided against making a move. They were not willing to meet Napoli's asking price of €100million.

At the time, PSG felt confident in their current options of Randal Kolo Muani and Goncalo Ramos. However, in their first Ligue 1 match of the season, things took a turn for the worse. Ramos had to be substituted just 20 minutes into the game and was later seen leaving the stadium on crutches with a protective boot on his left foot. Reports from Le Parisien suggest that he may need surgery and could be out for three months, leaving PSG with only one fit center forward in Muani.

As a result, RMC Sport reports that PSG's management team is now reconsidering their options and may look to sign another striker before the transfer window closes. While it remains to be seen if they will make another move for Osimhen, it is worth noting that the Nigerian has expressed a desire to join PSG.

This could pose a problem for Chelsea, who are currently in talks with Napoli for a deal that would also see Romelu Lukaku join the Serie A side. Napoli manager Antonio Conte has expressed frustration with the complicated nature of the deal and had hoped to have it settled before the start of the season.

When asked about the potential transfers, Chelsea's head coach Enzo Maresca remained tight-lipped. He stated that it would not be appropriate to discuss players from other teams and that the club is aware of what they need and is working towards bringing in new players before the transfer window closes.

So, it seems like Osimhen's preferred destination and PSG's need for a new striker may cause some complications for Chelsea's transfer plans. It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold, but it is clear that the transfer market can be a complicated and unpredictable place.
