Victor Osimhen Agrees to Join PSG: The Latest on the Transfer Saga
In the latest development of the transfer saga surrounding Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker has reportedly given the green light to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to negotiate his transfer from Napoli. According to multiple sources, including Fabrizio Romano, Osimhen has agreed to join the French giants, and discussions between the clubs are now underway.
PSG, who are looking to bolster their attacking options, have received the go-ahead from Osimhen to proceed with the negotiations. The most challenging part of the deal will be finding an agreement between PSG and Napoli regarding the transfer fee. Osimhen’s release clause at Napoli is set at €130 million, but it remains to be seen if PSG will meet this valuation.
The news of Osimhen’s agreement with PSG comes amid interest from other top clubs, including Chelsea and Arsenal. However, the financial constraints faced by Chelsea and the lack of Champions League football at Napoli have made a move to the Premier League unlikely for Osimhen.
PSG, on the other hand, are in a strong position to secure the 25-year-old forward’s signature. The Ligue 1 champions are keen to bring in a replacement for Kylian Mbappe, who recently departed for Real Madrid. Osimhen’s arrival at PSG would provide a significant boost to their attacking lineup, which already boasts the likes of Neymar and Lionel Messi.
While Osimhen has agreed to join PSG, the deal is not yet close, and negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing. Napoli are aware of Osimhen’s desire to move to PSG and are willing to listen to offers for the striker. However, the Italian club will not let him leave for less than his release clause, which could pose a challenge for PSG in the coming weeks.
As the transfer window progresses, all eyes will be on the negotiations between PSG and Napoli, with the football world eagerly awaiting the outcome of this high-profile transfer saga. Will Victor Osimhen finally make the move to Paris, or will the deal fall through? Only time will tell.
