The Nigerian striker is expected to be on the move next summer

Victor Osimhen of Napoli is a target for Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and many other European giants but Didier Drogba, a legend of the Premier League, says there is one team the Serie A starlet must not move to during the summer transfer window.

In the end, Osimhen's impressive campaign's 26th goal was but a measure of comfort.

Perhaps Luciano Spalletti's team avoided a loss against AC Milan in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinal thanks to a late equalise on Tuesday night. However, it was unable to prevent the Rossoneri from making it to the last four for the very first time since 2007.

Uncertainty surrounds whether this will be Osimhen's last game for Napoli in Europe's top club league.

With Manchester United in mind, Osimhen. Even if Napoli's exorbitant, £100 million+ value-tag tends to push United's finances to its constraints, whether it succeeds or not, a summer transfer to Old Trafford seems more plausible than the Nigerian international finding up at Chelsea.

Bayern Munich is another contender. Osimhen may be too pricey for the Bundesliga's powerhouses, though, according to some. After all, Bayern has all but ruled out acquiring Harry Kane for a comparable sum.

At the same time, one of the greatest and most well-known attackers of the twenty-first century feels that there is one team that Osimhen should avoid. After all, Paris Saint-Germain is evidence that success is not necessarily dependent on financial resources. At any rate, continental dominance.

However, Drogba has urged the Nigerian to avoid joining European giants, as he said in an interview.

“If he (Osimhen) is really in the sights of a club like PSG,” the Chelsea legend tells Canal Plus. “It shows the full extent of his talent and the season he is having."

“But PSG is not the club he needs to continue his progress.”
