PSG Football Club To Offer Victor Osimhen N43bn

Published

on

Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen, is predicted to earn €50 million (N43 billion) if he joins Paris Saint-Germain during the current transfer window.

Aurelio De Laurentiis, the owner of Napoli, believes that PSG is the only team that can afford the Nigerian international, and he anticipates receiving a million-dollar bid for the player.

Due to De Laurentiis’ high asking price, other elite teams including Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich have ended discussions for Osimhen.

Earlier report had it that  PSG has already made an offer of €120m for Osimhen which the Serie A champions have already rejected.

According to several reports, Napoli values Osimhen at €150m and no club is currently willing to meet that asking price.

“The only club that could afford Victor Osimhen is Paris Saint-Germain,” De Laurentiis told Mediaset.

“If (PSG president) Nasser Al Khelaifi wants to send in a bid around €200m we wait and see what happens. I personally think that Victor will stay here.”

Sky Sports reported that PSG has reached a €300M deal with Al-Hilal for Frenchman Kylian Mbappe, although the player has not yet agreed to play in Saudi Arabia.

If the World Cup winner leaves the team, Osimhen would be the striker’s ideal replacement.

According to elfutbolero.us, if Napoli buy the 24-year-old, the player could receive a salary of €50m to be the star of the team but Osimhen is not keen on a move to the Ligue 1.

Osimhen scored 26 goals and made five assists in 32 league appearances last season, which was crucial to the Partenopei winning the Serie A title for the first time in over three decades.

He also became the first African to claim the prestigious Capocannoniere award, given to the top scorer in Serie A.
