Osimhen resumes full training at Napoli despite Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain interest

Super Eagles star forward Victor Osimhen has returned to full training at Napoli amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.

According to Tutto Napoli, he took part in today's training sessions in the morning and afternoon ahead of Napoli's clash with Girona tomorrow.

The 25-year-old has been struggling with his fitness since resuming for pre-season and missed the games against Anaune Val di Non, Mantova, Egnatia and Brest.

Osimhen's future with the Italian giants remains uncertain but there are no indications that he will force a move, contrary to some reports.

The club's director Giovanni Manna has stated that the club is planning for the new season with the Nigerian striker until the situation changes.

The Serie A side are currently locked down in talks with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain over the lanky forward, with the clubs yet to reach an agreement on how a deal could be struck.

The Blues may have an upper edge in the race because they have a player that Napoli want in Romelu Lukaku and could help them in striking a deal.

PSG have an agreement with the lanky striker and also have a player that the Parthenopeans want in Lee Kang-in but are reluctant to include him in the deal.

Conversely, Chelsea are ready to dispose of Lukaku to Napoli and are trying to see how they can use that to facilitate their pursuit of Osimhen.
