Napoli slap €150m price tag on Osimhen

Amid rumours that Chelsea and Man Utd are targeting the Nigerian forward, Fabrizio Romano reports that the club wouldn't let their star go for anything under 150 million euros. 

The journalist states that there had been whispers of a €110 million deal, but he claims this isn't close to anything Napoli would accept. This puts him outside the price range for Bayern, who he had been linked with after being spotted coming out of a hotel in Berlin.

Osimhen, in his 3rd season with the club, was crucial to the Italian's Serie A title, putting away 25 goals in the league. There appear to be several clubs interested in bringing the forward over to the Premier League, but the front runners look to be Man United and Chelsea, who could potentially foot the very hefty fee. 

If the striker is interested in playing in Europe next season, Man Utd may look like a better prospect, as they look set to finish the season in 4th, ensuring Champions League games. Chelsea however have had a dismal season and will finish in the bottom half of the table for the first time since 1996.
