In PSG’s sights to strengthen its attack, Victor Osimhen sees no progress in this matter and could ultimately stay an additional season in Naples.
Not satisfied with the returns of Goncalo Ramos et Randal Kolo Muanithe PSG has decided to change its plans during this summer transfer window. For a few weeks, the Parisian board has been looking for a number 9. And quickly, the name of Victor Osimhen (25 years old) has once again been associated with the Rouge & Bleu. Under contract until 2026 with the Napolithe Nigerian international would have even already found a contractual agreement with the French champions for several days. However, as is often the case with the Neapolitan club, the negotiations are difficult. If the president of the Neapolitans, Aurelio De Laurentiisis open to the departure of his striker, he is still asking for the sum of 100M€ minimum. But to date, neither the PSG nor the clubs of Premier League (Chelsea, Arsenal) are not willing to invest such a sum to secure the services of the former Lille player.
Naples will not lower the price of Osimhen
And this situation is becoming more and more complex for Victor Osimhenwho was not selected for any of the friendly matches played by Naples in this 2024-2025 pre-season. And while the season will resume in a week in Italy (32nd final of Italian Cup), the 25-year-old striker’s future could finally be written once again at Napoli. Indeed, as reported by the Sports Courier, “The more time passes, the more we have to consider the hypothesis qu’Osimhen might not even move.” Until the end of the transfer window, which closes on August 30, Aurelio De Laurentiis will not lower its demands, reports the Italian daily.
Less than a month before the market closes, the PSG has still not made room in its squad for Victor Osimhen while selling Goncalo Ramos or Randal Kolo Muani. And the other suitors are not rushing to attract the Nigerian either. Arsenal tries to recruit the striker of the Sporting, Viktor Gyökereswhile an exchange between Romelu Lukakuattacker of Chelsea desired by the coach Anthony Conteet Victor Osimhen is an idea to be dismissed. But a few days before the resumption of the competition, the former Lille player is aware of his physical delay compared to his teammates and will have to give his all to hope to regain a place in his coach’s eleven, concludes the Sports Courier.
