PSG to complete ‘discounted’ Osimhen’s deal Thursday

Nigeria international striker Victor Osimhen is expected to complete his  transfer from Napoli to Paris Saint-Germain on or before Thursday, according to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport.

Speculations were rife  over the weekend that  the French Champions  are  ‘close to unblocking the deal’ for  Osimhen with Napoli reportedly ready  to give a slight discount on Osimhen’s €130m release clause.

According to  Football Italia, the Parisian giants have decided to fully focus on a deal for the 25-year-old Nigerian striker and have been in close contact with Partenopei president Aurelio De Laurentiis and the player’s agent Roberto Calenda in recent days.

On Saturday, Osimhen  missed the club’s second pre-season friendly  as the coach Antonio Conte-led side  beat Mantova 3-0, following  their earlier  4-0 win  against Anaune Val di Non in  the first pre-season game.

But yesterday, Football Italia  reported that  Corriere dello Sport detailed  how Napoli are hoping to sell Osimhen to PSG by Thursday next week, allowing them to finally pull the trigger on the deal with Chelsea for Lukaku, who is waiting to be reunited with Antonio Conte.
