Former\u00a0Chelsea\u00a0midfielder John Obi Mikel has admitted he\u2019s continually \u201csending messages\u201d to Victor Osimhen over joining the club from Napoli this summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Osimhen has long been targeted by a handful of top sides and recently signed a new contract which includes a release clause worth over \u00a3100m to faciltate a summer exit from Napoli.<\/p>\n
Chelsea hold strong interest in the Nigeria international\u00a0but Arsenal remain in the race for his signature, while Paris Saint-Germain have added Osimhen\u2019s name to a list of potential replacements for Kylian Mbappe.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think there is genuine interest between both,\u201d Mikel told\u00a0Ben Jacobs<\/em>, while admitting he\u2019s acting as somewhat of an \u2018agent\u2019 . \u201cI think he loves the club, he wants to come to the club. Obviously, he wants to follow my footsteps as a Nigerian player who has played for Chelsea \u2013 Victor Moses, Celestine Babayaro, not a lot of us.<\/p>\n
\u201cLondon as well, fantastic city, instead of going to Liverpool or places like that you want to live in London. But he also has a lot of interest. Paris Saint-Germain, Man Utd\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m still pushing, sending him messages, trying to make sure he doesn\u2019t expect to much, narrow you\u2019re mind on one club \u2013 the Blues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has admitted he is powerless to prevent Osimhen from leaving the club this summer because of his release clause, which is worth \u201ca very big amount of money\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cVictor is another good player that Napoli have,\u201d De Laurentiis told\u00a0Sky Sports News<\/em>. \u201cWe had [Edinson] Cavani, [Gonzalo] Higuain, [Ezequiel] Lavezzi and we had [Dries] Mertens, we had a lot of people who were fantastic.<\/p>\n
\u201cOsimhen is a very great player \u2013 but you know: Napoli is a fantastic place. There are certain players who fell in love with Napoli and stayed, like [Marek] Hamsik for 11 years. Or like others for eight years. And there are others who are attracted by\u00a0Real Madrid, by PSG, by\u00a0Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea. So you cannot stop them, especially when they have a fixed amount of money where they can be bought.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked specifically about the value of the release clause, De Laurentiis kept his cards close to his chest.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has a release clause,\u201d De Laurentiis said. \u201cIt\u2019s a very big amount of money.\u201d<\/p>\n
