PSG keen on Osimhen for Mbappe link-up

PSG want to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer in a bid to bolster their attack, according to Le Parisien

Osimhen was impressive in the just ended Serie A season, scoring 26 times to emerge as the top scorer. His goals also helped to win their first Scudetto in 33 years.

The Nigerian, 24, has been severally linked with a move away from Naples with the French Ligue 1 champions one of the rumoured suitors.

Any deal for the Nigerian forward will likely be an expensive one, with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis commanding a fee in the region of €130m for his services.

With Mbappé’s desire to play off a focal point in the centre of the PSG attack, one of the key points of inspiration in their pursuit of the Nigerian is to complement Mbappé.

De Laurentiis isn’t keen on selling Osimhen, hence the large price tag they have set.

PSG will also face fierce competition for his signature, with Chelsea and Manchester United after Bayern Munich dropped out of the race, tagging the Nigerian ‘too expensive’.
