PSG Revive Interest in Napoli’s Osimhen as Mbappe Nears Real Madrid Move

Paris Saint-Germain have reignited their pursuit of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, as the club’s president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and his management team engage in direct discussions with Napoli‘s chief, Aurelio De Laurentiis.

Osimhen, a key figure in Napoli’s Scudetto triumph last season, is expected to be at the center of a high-profile transfer this summer, with a release clause set between €120-130 million in his current contract.

Despite facing challenges on the field, Osimhen’s consistent performance has attracted interest from top clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United, with Napoli’s firm stance on activating the striker’s release clause evident through De Laurentiis’s statements.

Recent reports from Il Mattino through TMW indicate that Al-Khelaifi and PSG‘s directors have reconnected with De Laurentiis, demonstrating a strong relationship between the two clubs and positioning the Parisian giants as front-runners in the race for Osimhen’s signature.

The impending departure of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid has intensified PSG’s need for a significant signing this transfer window, making the pursuit of Osimhen all the more crucial for the Ligue One side.

Amidst the competition from other top clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United, PSG’s strategic approach and direct negotiations could give them an edge in securing Osimhen, who has been a standout performer in Napoli’s recent successes.
