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.
