Nasser Al-Khelaifi has no intention of keeping Kylian Mbappé if his star striker refuses to extend. To replace the serial PSG scorer, a player would be the priority of the capital club. It’s not Harry Kane.
Kylian Mbappé’s situation is unclear, but Paris does not want to be caught off guard if its best striker leaves during this 2023 transfer window. In order to replace Kylian Mbappé, who remains on a season with 41 goals in all competitions with the PSG, we have often attributed the intention to Luis Campos to bring in Harry Kane. The English striker is one year from the end of his contract with Tottenham, but the situation is not simple. The player prefers Bayern Munich and Daniel Levy does not want to transfer him. Enough to make Campos’ mission impossible. This is why, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Paris Saint-Germain makes Victor Osimhen its number 1 priority in case Kylian Mbappé should leave. Maurizio Nicitajournalist for the Italian sports daily, even claims that a first offer from PSG was refused.
Osimhen at PSG, it will be very expensive
To recruit the Nigerian international striker, who scored 31 goals with Napoli in 2022-2023, Nasser Al-Khelaifi offered 100 million euros to Aurelio de Laurentiis, his Italian counterpart. But the boss of the Italian champions firmly rejected the Parisian check, not even having the intention of studying an offer of a level which he considers too low. De Laurentiis, who is the tough type in business, warned the Qatari leader of Paris Saint-Germain that to recruit Victor Osimhen it was necessary to send 180 million euros. All this while Naples is negotiating with Roberto Calenda, Osimhen’s agent, a contract extension, since the former Lille resident is linked until 2025 with the southern Italian club.

Victor Osimhen has always been one of Paris Saint-Germain’s favorite players, but the problem is that Napoli know that. The Italian champions obviously intend to recover a large part of the money that PSG can collect by transferring Kylian Mbappé to Madrid or elsewhere. A position that could however evolve over time. Because if Osimhen leaves, the Italian club must find a replacement for him. The transalpine sports media confirms that Napoli will then turn to Jonathan David, Lille striker. The Naples-LOSC axis could therefore still work.
