This means any club interested in his services would have to make a significant investment to pull it off.
De Laurentiis, as quoted by Italian sports journalist Fabrizio Romano, said:

"Where do you want Osimhen to be next season? Arsenal, Chelsea or PSG?"

"He can go anywhere but Chelsea or PSG. Chelsea: Because the club is very unstable and it’s in a mess, and in as much as he would fit in perfectly he would be a rough ride for him."
