Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly ‘advancing in talks’ to sign Napoli star Victor Osimhen this summer, as per the Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The Nigerian has enjoyed success at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium over the last few years after joining from LOSC Lille. He has established himself as a talismanic figure for the club, helping his team win the Scudetto after more than three decades.
So, it has been reported that having showcased his qualities in the Italian top-flight, Osimhen is willing to leave Napoli this summer to take a new challenge in his career.
Arsenal have been suggested as a potential suitor for him. But, it now looks like PSG are going to be his most likely destination should he eventually leave Napoli over the coming weeks.
Writing on X, Romano has reported that PSG have opened talks with the player’s representatives to persuade him to join and are ‘advancing in talks’ over the deal.

The journalist further claims that PSG have identified Osimhen as a priority target to bolster their attacking department with the player keen on moving to the Parc des Princes.
Romano wrote:
“Paris Saint-Germain are advancing in talks with Victor Osimhen’s camp as their interest is now getting concrete. Osimhen, keen on joining PSG and open to the move if they can agree on deal/fee with Napoli. He’d be very high on PSG list, if one centre striker left.”
It has been reported that Osimhen has a £113m release clause included in his current contract and it is going to be interesting to see how much money the Azzurri demand to sell their star man.
Following Kylian Mbappe’s departure as a free agent, Les Parisiens are reportedly willing to splash big money in this transfer window to reinforce their squad and challenge on all fronts next season.
Osimhen is a proven striker and has displayed his qualities at the highest level in recent years. It has even been touted that the African is one of the best strikers in the world.
Therefore, he would definitely be a great coup for PSG if they eventually manage to acquire his service ahead of next season.
