No team is close to prying away Victor Osimhen at the moment, but things could change later in the summer, and PSG could emerge as a major menace to acquire last season’s capocannoniere. He’s in talks to renew his contract with the Azzurri, but nothing is imminent.
According to Corriere della Sera, the Ligue 1 giants would go all-in on the Nigerian star if Kylian Mbappé departed. They want their ace to make up his mind by the end of July. They are adamant about not losing him on a free in 2024, so he has to agree to an extension.
The situation is fluid. The sale of the star would fetch no less than €200M. Real Madrid and Liverpool are monitoring the events, and more teams would easily come forward. At that point, PSG would have no problem meeting Napoli’s lofty demands for Osimhen.
The French champions have been touted as a likely landing spot for the Partenopei marksman primarily because of the presence of former Lille director Luis Campos.
Our Take on PSG and Osimhen
Napoli have a long history of profitable deals with PSG, which often activated release clauses to acquire the top players of the Azzurri in the past. While their desire to come to terms on a new contract and push things down the line is understandable, he and his agent have little interest in doing so before the end of the window.
