The potential transfer of Victor Osimhen to Paris Saint-Germain has hit a significant roadblock. Despite initial enthusiasm from the player, PSG has decided not to meet Napoli’s demands. The French club is unwilling to trigger Osimhen’s release clause or include Kang-in Lee in the transaction, leading to a standstill in negotiations.
Osimhen’s Willingness to Move
Victor Osimhen had expressed a keen interest in joining PSG and was ready to accept the salary proposal offered by the club. However, the lack of an agreement between PSG and Napoli has put the deal on hold. The Nigerian striker remains determined to leave Napoli and is exploring other options if the PSG move fails to materialize.
PSG’s Current Striker Situation
At present, PSG seems content with their attacking options. The club is happy to retain both Randal Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos, reducing their urgency to pursue Osimhen aggressively. This decision has further complicated the potential transfer, leaving Osimhen’s future uncertain.
Osimhen Open to Saudi Pro League
If the PSG deal falls through, Osimhen is open to considering proposals from the Saudi Pro League. This openness to a move indicates his strong desire to leave Napoli, regardless of the destination. The Saudi Pro League has been actively attracting top talent, and Osimhen could be the next big name to join.
Napoli’s Interest in Lukaku
On the other side of the equation, Napoli is reportedly interested in securing Romelu Lukaku as a replacement for Osimhen. This interest adds another layer of complexity to the situation, as Napoli’s willingness to part with Osimhen hinges on securing a suitable replacement.
The transfer saga surrounding Victor Osimhen and PSG remains unresolved, with the deal currently on hold. While Osimhen is eager to make the move to Paris, the lack of agreement between the clubs has stalled progress. PSG’s contentment with their current strikers and Napoli’s interest in Lukaku further complicate the matter. As the situation develops, Osimhen’s willingness to consider a move to the Saudi Pro League highlights his determination to find a new club this summer.
