Napoli star Victor Osimhen has been linked to a move to Paris Saint-Germain this month. However, discussions between the two clubs have hit a standstill, and there’s a split as to whether the Parisians should pursue the Nigerian.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Osimhen has approved PSG’s project and is eager for the transfer to proceed. L’Equipe provided an update on this file, as there is conflicting information over whether the Parisians want a No. 9.
The French media outlet reports that Osimhen is still eager to join PSG, and sporting advisor Luís Campos highly regards him and speaks highly of the player. However, negotiations with Napoli have stalled because of their demands, and PSG manager Luis Enrique isn’t interested in bringing Osimhen on board.

Additionally, L’Equipe reveals that, as of now, PSG are planning to rely on Gonçalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani for next season. However, behind the scenes, the club is already reaching out to explore potential moves for one of them.

This standstill also affects Napoli’s efforts to replace Osimhen as they probably cannot move forward even after reportedly reaching an agreement on personal terms with Romelu Lukaku. The Chelsea striker is expected to earn €6 million per season over a three-year contract, with additional bonuses.
