French giants Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are set to secure the signature of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen in a blockbuster €120 million transfer, as they prepare to replace Kylian Mbappé.
According to Italian outlet Il Mattino, Osimhen is expected to travel to Paris within the next day or two to finalize a lucrative contract with the Ligue 1 champions. This move comes swiftly on the heels of Mbappé’s high-profile unveiling by Real Madrid.
Negotiations between Napoli and PSG have been ongoing, with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis previously firm on retaining Osimhen despite significant interest. However, it appears a breakthrough has been reached, with PSG’s Nasser Al-Khelaifi agreeing to Napoli’s terms without including player exchanges, contrary to earlier suggestions.

Osimhen, who has excelled in Serie A since joining Napoli from Lille in 2020, is set to earn €12 million (£10 million) per year at PSG. His transfer would end his impactful four-year stint at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, where he played a key role in Napoli’s Serie A title win two seasons ago.
Napoli’s loss will be PSG’s gain, as Osimhen’s arrival is expected to significantly enhance the French champions’ attacking capabilities, bolstering their bid to reclaim the Ligue 1 title and compete strongly in the Champions League next season.
