The Pigeon Saint-Germain still exists in the eyes of Naples, which forces Nasser Al-Khelaïfi to drop 200 million euros to recruit Victor Osimhen.
Considered for a long time as the very good payer in European football because of the prices put on the table to recruit, PSG is trying to get rid of this label. But he clearly does not succeed, due to his difficulties in attracting major players at the peak of their careers, and European results which are not up to par, in addition to a Ligue 1 which does not really make you dream. abroad. If Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi recently signed, it was also because they were players pushed out by their club, however prestigious it may be. This summer, he still had to pay more than 60 ME, an amount above his release clause, to afford the Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte.
Aurelio de Laurentiis boasts in front of PSG
Prices that don’t help PSG negotiate when it comes to the much-desired striker. Currently, Luis Campos is trying to get this famous number 9. And the offers are multiplying, like those for Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen. But in the case of the former Lille, cracking Naples seems impossible. Especially since the truculent president Aurelio De Laurentiis is very amused by the interest of PSG, and even asks Nasser Al-Khelaïfi in person to double his previous offer, which was 100 ME. ” I hope Osimhen wears our jersey next season, but if he doesn’t, a very strong player will arrive who can replace him. Anyway, I think Victor will stay for another year. The only club that could cash in is PSG. If Al Khelaifi wants to pay around 200 million, we will wait and assess… “, delivered the president of Naples, on SportMediaSet.

The idea is probably not to go so high for Paris SG, which however cannot end the summer without a striker. And Napoli not being the easy type in business, it will probably not be possible to advise during the month of August to get the Nigerian. In any case, PSG know what awaits them if they come back with a second offer for Osimhen. Unlike his striker, the Italian champion does not advance masked and displays his ambitions to achieve one of the biggest transfers in history to let go of his striker. Qatar probably does not hear it that way, even if it will take an attacking player to compensate for the departure of Lionel Messi and the absence of Neymar which promises to be even longer than expected.
