Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the French Ligue 1 giants, are on the verge of making a significant addition to their squad with the signing of Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen from Napoli in the upcoming summer transfer window.
This move, as reported by the Italian media outlet Il Mattino, is part of PSG’s strategy to fill the void left by Kylian Mbappe’s departure to Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old Osimhen, who renewed his contract with Napoli in December, including a €130 million release clause, is now set to embark on a new chapter in his career at Parc des Princes.
PSG’s willingness to meet the hefty release clause underscores their confidence in Osimhen’s ability to lead their attack and step into the shoes of Mbappe, one of football’s brightest talents.
Osimhen’s impending transfer to PSG marks a significant milestone in his career. Since joining Napoli, he has distinguished himself as one of Serie A’s most formidable strikers, showcasing remarkable speed, precision, and goal-scoring prowess.
“Victor Osimhen and Napoli will part ways at the end of the current season, with the player set to be sold upon payment of the €130 million release clause,” as quoted by Area Napoli.
PSG emerges as the frontrunner for Osimhen’s signature, with Thursday’s edition of Il Mattino detailing the significant offer made to the Nigerian striker.
