PSG seek huge discount on Osimhen from Napoli

Paris Saint Germain  have reportedly demanded  huge discount from the staggering 130  euros  clause from Napoli to enable  it prise away  Victor Osimhen  even as the French giants  are willing to part with one or two players in exchange  for the Nigeria international striker.

According to multiple Italian sources, Osimhen’s agent has been holed in Paris over the last few days in order to pull off  the deal since Napoli expect to resolve the transfer  issue as soon as possible with words rife that new coach Antonio Conte  has expressed his desire to reunite with Belgian striker, Romelu Lukaku.

Italian leading tabloid La Gazzetta dello Sport even claimed Napoli sports director Manna has  further resumed  talks with PSG  as club owner Aurelio De Laurentiis  eagerly awaits a deal to be struck.

With no  English Premier League side stepping forward  to acquire  his services, PSG  seems to be the most viable option left  for Osimhen after  coach Luis Enrique identified  the Nigerian ace striker  as  the best replacement for  Kylian Mbappe  who left for real Madrid.

According to the Italian Pink Paper “The path is set: PSG-Osi is no longer a suggestion,  it is the only possible destination for Victor and his desire for the Champions League.”

In a related development, Osimhen was not listed last night as  Conte oversaw  his first friendly match as Napoli coach against local side Anaune Val di Non  as part of their pre-season preparations in the mountains of Dimaro.

According to Sport Italia, when the line-up was originally announced to spectators, Osimhen was named on the bench, but it quickly emerged he was in fact in the stands.

A note from the club pointed out the striker has been working separately from the squad in training over the last few days due to fitness issues and is therefore “not at the disposal” of Conte.

Inevitably, this is also linked to the on-going reports of negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain for a transfer at below the €130m release clause.
