As per L’Equipe French Sports daily newspaper, having heard Italian sources Napoli’s star striker Victor Osimhen is eager to move to PSG at the end of the current season.
The Italian source claim that the 25-year-old is willing to cease training in order to facilitate his exit as Napoli demands a €130m release fee.
Transfer Tensions and Financial Hurdles
Osimhen considers PSG as his last chance of leaving Naples before the summer concludes. The French giants require another world-class forward after the departure of Kylian Mbappé, and Osimhen is willing to join the team.
The player’s agents and PSG management are still in talks but the factor of a high release clause still poses a problem.
In a recent report from Sportsbuddy, PSG is said to be willing to spend €200 million to sign both Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia from Napoli.
Both players were critical in Napoli’s Serie A triumph season, where Osimhen won the Striker of the Year award while Kvaratskhelia won the Serie A Player of the Year award.
Moreover, PSG could have to sell either Kolo Randal Muani or Gonçalo Ramos in order to accommodate Osimhen.
Potential Player Swap Deal
Some papers indicate that PSG may offer one of Carlos Soler, Nordi Mukiele, Kang-in Lee, or Manuel Ugarte, who has been linked with a move to Manchester United, to Napoli in an exchange for Osimhen.
That being said, there is no official word yet regarding the same and whether or not the 2022/2023 Italian Serie A champions will come up with such an agreement for their main striker.
