Victor Osimhen
Victor Osimhen is set for a €4 million wage increase at Paris Saint-Germain, having reportedly agreed to personal terms with the French champions. According to Tuttosport, the Nigerian striker has agreed to a five-year deal worth €14 million per season, up from his current €10 million annual salary at Napoli.
Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda, was in Paris earlier this week to negotiate with PSG. However, the Ligue 1 side must still reach an agreement with Napoli to finalize the transfer. While Napoli and new coach Antonio Conte are open to parting ways with Osimhen, PSG is hesitant to meet his €130 million release clause. Reports suggest they might offer €100 million plus a player to secure the deal. Sky Sport Italia mentioned that PSG had proposed including Carlos Soler, Nordi Mukiele, or Lee Kang-in as part of the transfer package.
Napoli is considering Chelsea outcast Romelu Lukaku as a potential replacement for Osimhen at the Stadio Maradona. The former Serie A champions are keen to offload players before bringing in reinforcements for Conte’s squad. Completing Osimhen’s sale would pave the way for Lukaku’s pursuit.
Despite interest from Saudi Pro League club Al Ahli, Osimhen remains focused on continuing his career in Europe, with the Premier League being his initial preferred destination. The former Lille striker has maintained a professional attitude in pre-season training with Napoli amid ongoing negotiations and has impressed Conte despite not featuring in the coach’s plans for the upcoming campaign.
