Victor Osimhen agrees to PSG's move from Napoli, preferring France over other offers. Negotiations are ongoing as PSG seeks a discount on the release clause.
Victor Osimhen is set to make a return to France as he agrees to join Paris Saint-Germain from Napoli, following a standout season with LOSC Lille. The Super Eagles striker has opted for PSG amid interest from other clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United, who were unable to meet Napoli's financial demands.
Despite offers from Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal, Osimhen favors a move to France, although his preference initially leaned towards the English Premier League. Negotiations between PSG and Napoli are ongoing, with PSG seeking a discount on Osimhen's €130 million release clause. Napoli has indicated that the deal is nearing completion, with Osimhen likely to depart Naples soon, having been excluded from their recent friendly due to a minor muscle strain.
Osimhen's return to France marks a significant career move after his successful stint at Lille, where he scored 18 goals and earned the Prix Marc-Vivien Foé as the best African player in Ligue 1.
