Popular transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has shed light on Paris Saint-Germain’s (PSG) ambitious attempt to secure Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen and Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli in May 2024.
A €210 Million Offer Declined
In a recent YouTube update, Romano detailed PSG’s offer of €210 million (approximately N334 billion) for both players.
The bid, submitted through Osimhen’s agent, included €200 million guaranteed and €10 million in add-ons as revealed previously also by Sports Buddy.
“In May last year, before the start of the summer window, Paris Saint-Germain presented a proposal to Napoli, sent by the agent of Victor Osimhen, who has an excellent relationship with PSG, a proposal worth €210 million for Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen,” Romano said.
Despite PSG’s willingness to pay a hefty sum, Napoli rejected the offer outright, insisting that Kvaratskhelia was not for sale.

Osimhen’s Transfer Saga
While Osimhen had agreed on personal terms with PSG, the move ultimately collapsed due to the clubs’ inability to finalize a deal.
Following this, Osimhen faced further transfer setbacks on deadline day, with failed moves to Chelsea and Al-Ahli.
In September 2024, the striker secured a season-long loan to Galatasaray, where he has since excelled.
In 16 appearances across all competitions, Osimhen has scored 13 goals and contributed 5 assists, cementing his status as a top performer in the Süper Lig.
This saga underscores both PSG’s intent to bolster their squad and Napoli’s determination to retain key players, showcasing the complex dynamics of high-profile transfers.
