PSG snub Osimhen, table €60m for Rennes Doue

Paris Saint Germaine  have reportedly  tabled a €60 million offer for  Desire Doue,  which could invariably  likely end their pursuit of  Napoli’s Nigeria international striker Victor Osimhen.

The Rennes’  winger  has been subject of intense interest  to  PSG , Bayern Munich as well as Premier League duo of Chelsea  and Arsenal  but  Football Transfers, yesterday  reported that  the French giants  have tabled a whopping €60m for the 19-year-old  youngster.

The news outlet claimed  that the offer for  Doue  may scuttle  PSG’s interest in  the Nigerian  ace  striker  since the €60m offer  for the Rennes’  youngster is a far cry from the €130m release clause planted on Napoli by the Partenopei.

French tabloid, L’Equipe, also reported that  PSG have agreed to match Rennes’ valuation of  Doue, offering a financial package worth €60m.

“This development could have massive implications for the future of Victor Osimhen,” noted.

Tom Weber of Football Transfers. “The Nigerian wants to leave Napoli and the Serie A side are keen on cashing in on him, with Chelsea outcast Romelu Lukaku already waiting in the wings to replace him.”

But  in what  was a positive development , Football Italia claimed yesterday that  PSG  have not lost hope in their pursuit of Osimhen as they  only await a price drop.

Transfer expert, Gianluca Di Marzio, was quoted as saying that PSG are set to return to the forefront in their charge for Osimhen soon.

“The Ligue 1 giants were dealt a blow recently when they failed to convince the Partenopei to agree on a transfer fee lower than the release clause which is set at around €130 million,” the Italian outfit stated. “PSG are now contemplating restarting negotiations with Napoli CEO Aurelio De Laurentiis who is personally dealing with the high-value player.

“The Nigerian has expressed his desire to move away from Naples this summer and his wish will be granted as soon as a considerable offer arrives.”

 With Napoli  reportedly  finalizing a deal for Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku  who is seen as a capable replacement  for Osimhen by new coach  Antonio Conte, the Neapolitans might be forced  to drop their asking price by a resounding margin for  PSG  to  snap up Osimhen.
