Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is emerging as the frontrunner in the race to secure the signature of Victor Osimhen, according to reports from Il Corriere dello Sport. Despite interest from Premier League giants Chelsea and Arsenal, PSG appears to be edging closer to meeting Osimhen’s €130 million release clause.
The Italian media outlet suggests that PSG views the Nigerian striker as the perfect replacement for Kylian Mbappé, who is set to depart for Real Madrid. Osimhen, who recently extended his contract until 2026, has a release clause of €130 million, and Napoli seems willing to negotiate his departure at the end of the season.
Highlighting previous successful dealings between PSG and Napoli, such as the transfers of Ezequiel Lavezzi, Edinson Cavani, and Fabian Ruiz, Il Corriere dello Sport underscores PSG’s track record in securing talent from the Serie A club.
As the transfer saga unfolds, PSG’s pursuit of Osimhen signifies their intent to bolster their attacking prowess, while Arsenal and Chelsea remain keen competitors in the race for the coveted striker’s services
