Paris, France – July 16, 2024: Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are making significant progress in their efforts to secure the signing of Victor Osimhen, the prolific Nigerian striker currently playing for Napoli and the Super Eagles.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday that discussions between Osimhen’s representatives and the Ligue 1 champions are advancing positively. According to Romano, Osimhen is enthusiastic about the potential move, stating, “Paris Saint-Germain are advancing in talks with Victor Osimhen’s camp as their interest is now getting concrete.”
Romano further noted, “Osimhen is keen on joining PSG and open to the move if they can agree on a deal/fee with Napoli. He’d be very high on PSG’s list, if one centre striker left.”
Osimhen, who has a €130 million release clause in his contract signed last December, has caught PSG’s attention with his remarkable performances. The 25-year-old striker scored 15 goals in 25 league appearances for Napoli last season, showcasing his talent and consistency.
PSG’s pursuit of Osimhen reflects their ambition to bolster their attacking options, especially if a current striker were to depart. The potential transfer would mark a significant move for both Osimhen and PSG, aligning with the club’s strategy to reinforce their squad with top-tier talent.
Negotiations are ongoing, and PSG fans eagerly await further developments as the club aims to finalize the deal for one of Africa’s brightest football talents.
