Barring any last minute developments, striker Victor Osimhen  eagerly awaited departure  from  Napoli to PSG after the French giants  reportedly offered a deal of £84m (about N176 billion) to sign the ace Nigeria International.

Various Italian news outlets  have  claimed this week that  both Napoli are working  hard to meet their  transfer target with words rife that new coach Antonio Conte is more disposed  to  having a reunion with  Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku.

With a rash of English  club  unwilling  to meet Napoli’s staggering release cause of  £109m (about N229  billion) for Osimhen, PSG  reportedly asked  for a  discount  while offering further exchange of players in the deal.

Meanwhile, Italian outlet SPORT Mediaset as per Daily Mail , claimed  the deal is ‘near a turning point’ with the Nigerian’s agent Roberto Calenda having ‘flown to Paris to speak directly with PSG.’

The outlet adds that his trip to the French capital has ‘yielded very positive results’ with the French club and could be a blow for Chelsea and Arsenal.
