PSG to resume talks with Napoli over Victor Osimhen deal

With Kylian Mbappé’s (25) exit to Real Madrid on a free transfer, Paris Saint-Germain have made the recruitment of a new striker their priority for the summer. According to a report by Fabrizio Romano, the Capital club is set to push forward a move for Victor Osimhen (25), who has already given his green light to join the Ligue 1 champions.

Osimhen’s saga with PSG is not over yet. Despite having seen two offers worth €100M for the Nigerian striker rejected by Naples last summer, the Capital club has now reignited their interest in Osimhen following Mbappé’s departure to Real Madrid. Now keen on leaving the Serie A outfit, the former Lille centre forward is ready to resort to extreme measures to force an exit, and has agreed to join Paris.

Fabrizio Romano reports that PSG is planning on pushing forward the deal next week, with talks between the Capital club and Naples set to resume to find an agreement. Les Rouge et Bleu are still unwilling to pay Osimhen’s €130M release clause, but with Osimehn’s willingness to leave, a deal could materialise for a lower fee.
