Napoli striker Victor Osimhen looks to be on the brink of a move to Paris Saint-Germain , with reports suggesting that the deal is in its final stages. According to Il Mattino, the Serie A side is coming to terms with the likelihood of losing the Nigerian forward this summer.
The Italian publication has detailed Osimhen’s impending departure, revealing that he will see out the remaining seven games of his Serie A campaign with Napoli before making the switch to PSG. Talks between the French club and Osimhen’s representatives have already commenced, with a deal reportedly close to being finalized.
PSG are reportedly eager to expedite the transfer process, having engaged in discussions with the player’s entourage. The Ligue 1 side is prepared to meet Osimhen’s current release clause, which stands at a hefty €120 million. Additionally, PSG is poised to offer the 23-year-old a lucrative four-year contract, with an annual salary of €13 million.
Osimhen’s recent visit to Paris underscores PSG’s determination to secure his services. The amicable relationship between Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis and PSG chairman Nasser Al Khelaifi has facilitated negotiations, potentially accelerating Osimhen’s transition to the French capital. As part of the move, Osimhen is expected to assume control of his image rights.
