Chelsea and Manchester United have been warned they would have to shatter the Premier League transfer record to land £170million Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
The Italian club’s president, Aurelio De Laurentiis appears to have priced English clubs with a move with an insistence that only PSG - struggling to keep Kylian Mbappe from Real Madrid this summer - are serious contenders.
Both the Blues and United are keen to sign the striker, who finished top of the Serie A golden boot standings as Napoli won the Italian title last season. But De Laurentiis has now poured cold water on the suggestion he could move to a Premier League club.
