French football powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is gearing up to secure the services of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen from Napoli. The English Premier League trio of Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea, who had been eyeing Osimhen, are now facing disappointment as PSG is prepared to activate the €120m release clause in the player's current contract.
Osimhen, who has enjoyed a successful four-year stint at Napoli, is set to depart the Italian club despite signing a contract extension in December. The 25-year-old forward played a pivotal role in Napoli clinching the Serie A title last season, scoring an impressive 31 goals in 39 appearances, with 26 goals in the league alone.
The news of PSG's interest in Osimhen comes as a major setback for Arsenal and Chelsea, both of whom had identified him as their primary transfer target for the upcoming season. With Osimhen's proven goal-scoring prowess and potential, his acquisition by PSG would undoubtedly strengthen their attacking lineup.
While details of the potential transfer are yet to be finalized, PSG's move to trigger Osimhen's release clause underscores their determination to secure his services and bolster their squad for the challenges ahead.
