This follows a summer of intense transfer speculation and a reported fallout with the club’s hierarchy, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Mail Sport revealed that Chelsea face competition for Osimhen from the Saudi Arabian club who submitted a £55 million bid for the Nigerian striker.
The 25-year-old is believed to be asking for a contract which would see him receive £500,000-a-week as reported by The Sun.
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has said the club will attempt to sign a “nine” before the end of the summer transfer window.
The Nigeria international rose to global prominence after scoring a league-high 26 goals during Napoli’s Serie A-winning campaign of 2022-23, prior to which he had been posting respectable numbers in the Partenopei shirt.
He helped his side win the Scudetto title for the first time in more than three decades in the 2022/23 season.
According to a report by Gianluca Di Marzio, Paris Saint-Germain are set to return to the forefront in their charge for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen soon.
Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United are all thought to be admirers of Osimhen, but Napoli’s valuation of the forward – thought to be €100 million (£84m) – has made a switch to the Premier League unlikely.
The Serie A club have agreed to let Osimhen leave this summer but their president, Aurelio de Laurentiis, is holding out for a team to trigger the Nigeria international’s €130m (£110.8m) clause.
Osimhen continues to be highly regarded as one of the top strikers in Europe, and Napoli set the release clause to protect his market value, anticipating high demand this summer.

George, who was recently appointed coach of the Super Eagles, released the list through the Nigeria Football Federation.
Osimhen and his teammates have found the going much tougher this time around, though, ceding the title to Inter Milan with a whimper
Osimhen has already secured a long-lasting legacy at the Naples club courtesy of his 26 goals from 32 appearances in last season’s Serie A title-winning campaign.
Osimhen was on the bench for Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Inter at San Siro and barely trained in the days before the match
