Paris Saint-Germain have reached an agreement with Victor Osimhen for a lucrative contract, but negotiations with Napoli remain complex. The Nigerian striker has set his sights on joining the French champions and is not looking back.
Calciomercato report how Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda, is currently in Paris working to finalize the deal. PSG is exploring various options, including the possibility of including players in the transfer to reduce the overall cost. The French club has offered Spanish midfielder Carlos Soler and French right-back Nordi Mukiele to Napoli, but these proposals have not been well-received.
Napoli’s president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, is known for being a man of his word and intends to honor the agreement with Osimhen. This agreement stipulates that the player can be sold if his release clause of €130 million is met, or potentially with a slight discount. While Arab clubs might be willing to trigger the clause, Osimhen is solely focused on joining PSG.
Napoli has expressed interest in Korean attacking midfielder Lee Kang-in, but PSG coach Luis Enrique has reportedly vetoed his inclusion in any deal. Another player of interest to Napoli is Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte, though he appears to be promised to Manchester United by his agent, Jorge Mendes. These complications have made the negotiations more intricate and time-consuming than initially anticipated.
Meanwhile, Calenda has been working diligently to satisfy his client’s wishes and has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with PSG for Osimhen’s contract. The proposed deal would see the striker earn €15 million per season, a significant figure that underscores PSG’s high regard for the player who previously played in Ligue 1 with Lille.
