Paris Saint-Germain’s president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and his team have engaged directly with Napoli’s chief Aurelio De Laurentiis to negotiate a potential transfer deal for Victor Osimhen.
The 25-year-old Nigerian forward, who played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Serie A victory last season, is expected to command a significant fee, with a release clause in his contract ranging between €120-130 million. Despite the challenges faced by Napoli this season, Osimhen has maintained impressive form, attracting interest from several top clubs including Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United.
De Laurentiis has made it clear that Napoli will not entertain any discounts and expects Osimhen’s release clause to be met for any potential transfer. Recent reports from Il Mattino via TMW suggest that PSG’s Al-Khelaifi and their management have been in direct communication with De Laurentiis, working towards securing a deal for Osimhen.
The strong rapport between the two club presidents puts PSG in a favorable position in the race for Osimhen’s signature, especially with PSG’s need for a significant signing following the departure of Kylian Mbappe.
