French giants PSG are set to reignite their interest in Napoli forward Victor Osimhen who is expected to leave the Italian giants this summer. The Nigerian forward has attracted interest from top European clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, and PSG.

Osimhen signed a new deal with Napoli in January 2024 and has a release clause worth a reported €130 million. He has scored 76 goals in 133 games and played a crucial role in Napoli’s 2022-23 Serie A championship.

PSG reignites their interest in Victor Osimhen

The French giants has been previously linked with the Nigerian striker in 2023 and saw two bids over €100 million get rejected by the then Serie A champions. Napoli are considering a departure for their star forward this summer and PSG are reportedly leading the race for the coveted forward.

According to sources, PSG have tabled an offer in the region of €200 million for both Napoli stars Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Napoli are unlikely to part ways with Kvaratskhelia, but will accept Osimhen’s transfer if PSG agrees to match his €130m release clause.

PSG have lost Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer to Real Madrid and have strongly considered Osimhen to replace the French captain. But they would convince the Italian giants to lower their demands for the Nigerian international.

The 25-year-old forward has registered 17 goals and four assists in 32 games this season.
