Victor Osimhen’s move from Napoli to Paris Saint-Germain is in jeopardy due to PSG’s reluctance to meet his €100 million release clause. With talks stalled, Osimhen might consider lucrative offers from Saudi Arabian clubs. Napoli is also eyeing Romelu Lukaku as a potential replacement.
Victor Osimhen's potential departure from Napoli this summer is facing a significant setback, as his anticipated move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) appears increasingly precarious. The Serie A striker, who has been a standout performer for Napoli, remains eager to secure a transfer away from the Italian side. However, complications have arisen regarding his proposed move to PSG.
Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has reported that PSG is hesitant to meet the €100 million release clause for Osimhen. This reluctance has stalled negotiations, leaving the striker’s future in limbo. Romano shared on Twitter that PSG's unwillingness to fulfill the financial demands has halted discussions, with no prospects of including Kang-in Lee as part of the deal. The situation has led to speculation that Osimhen might explore offers from Saudi Arabian clubs.
In addition to PSG’s financial constraints, Napoli is reportedly eyeing Romelu Lukaku as a potential replacement for Osimhen. This development has intensified the urgency for Osimhen to consider alternative options. With PSG's interest waning, Saudi Arabian teams have emerged as viable contenders, offering lucrative terms that could appeal to the Nigerian international.
Osimhen's priority remains a summer exit from Napoli, but the shifting landscape of transfer negotiations means that his next destination is still uncertain. The possibility of moving to the Saudi Arabian league now seems like a plausible alternative, providing Osimhen with new opportunities if his PSG transfer ultimately collapses.
As the transfer window progresses, all eyes will be on how this situation unfolds and whether Osimhen will indeed make a high-profile switch to Saudi Arabia or another club.
