Napoli reportedly considers lowering Victor Osimhen's price to €100 million as Premier League interest wanes. The Nigerian striker's future remains uncertain, with PSG emerging as a potential destination. The price reduction aims to attract suitors for the prolific forward whose contract expires in two years.
Italian Serie A club Napoli is reportedly considering lowering their asking price for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen to €100 million in the upcoming summer transfer window. This potential price reduction comes as the club faces a changing landscape in the transfer market for their star player.
Osimhen has been a standout performer for Napoli since joining the club, scoring 76 goals and providing 16 assists in 133 appearances. His prolific form has attracted interest from top clubs across Europe over the past two years.
Previously, Napoli had set a high valuation for Osimhen, with demands reaching up to €140 million last summer. Following a contract extension, his release clause was set at €120 million. However, recent reports suggest that interest from Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Arsenal, may have cooled.
This shift in the market, coupled with Osimhen's reported preference for a Premier League move and reluctance to join Paris Saint-Germain or Saudi Arabian clubs, has put Napoli in a challenging position. With the striker's contract set to expire in two years, the club appears eager to facilitate a transfer.
The reduced price tag of €100 million could reignite interest from potential suitors. Arsenal remains a possible destination in the Premier League, while PSG emerges as a likely option if other avenues close.
As the transfer saga unfolds, Osimhen's future remains uncertain, with the possibility of a move to PSG growing if Premier League interest doesn't resurface.
