Napoli star Victor Osimhen has been frequently mentioned in recent months in connection with a move to Paris Saint-Germain. As the transfer window reopens, these rumors are gaining momentum once again.
Since his transfer from Ligue 1’s LOSC Lille to Napoli, the Nigerian international has scored an impressive 76 goals in 133 games, with 65 of those goals in Serie A. Osimhen was also instrumental in Napoli’s successful campaign to clinch the 2022-23 league championship.
Journalist Ben Jacobs provided the latest on the 25-year-old, noting that Osimhen is still an option for PSG.
Napoli are firm on his price, sticking to his €120 million to €130 million release clause with no flexibility. It’s a tough deal, but one that PSG can afford. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia plans to make a strong push for him in the next two to three weeks.

Moreover, Napoli’s new coach, Antonio Conte, still hopes to bring Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku to the Stadio Maradona. However, the team will first need to find a new club for Osimhen. It will be interesting to see if PSG helps the Serie A with this domino to create an effect.
