In search of a center forward this summer, especially after the letter sent by Kylian Mbappé, Paris Saint-Germain has made Victor Osimhen its priority. But the capital club should leave the discussion table given the staggering price demanded by Napoli.
For Paris Saint-Germain, the signing of a high-level striker becomes almost indispensable. The Parisian management had already programmed the arrival of a center forward to support Kylian Mbappé. But it is perhaps the successor of the Frenchman who could land. The French champion plans to push his top scorer out if he persists in refusing to extend, when his contract expires next year.
De Laurentiis still as hard in business
Under these conditions, Paris Saint-Germain will no doubt be ready to bet big. But not too much either. The proof on the Victor Osimhen file privileged by the football adviser Luis Campos. The Portuguese, who had lured the Nigerian striker to Lille, has sounded out Napoli with a view to a transfer. As a result, President Aurelio De Laurentiis does not want to sell his center forward.
On the contrary, the Napoli boss recently mentioned an extension for his contracted player until 2025. We have an agreement in principle for a two-year extension.announced the leader during the presentation of his new coach Rudi Garcia. But if an offer that is impossible to refuse for the health of the club arrives, we will evaluate it. Indeed, our colleagues from Parisian say that Naples is claiming a total of 180 million euros for Victor Osimhen!

An excessive demand for Paris Saint-Germain who do not intend to bet such a sum for a single player. After the Milan Skriniar soap opera with Inter last summer, the Parisians, despite a thicker transfer window, no longer want to get into the escalation. Anyway, the announced price is mainly used to deter the courtiers of Victor Osimhen, among whom we also find Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Chelsea.
