Napoli willing to offer Osimhen discount

The Partenopei are eager to sell the Nigerian striker this summer to fund reinforcements for Antonio Conte’s new project, however, no club has yet matched the hefty release clause, causing delays in the signing of Chelsea outcast Romelu Lukaku.
Recent discussions have seen Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda, travel to Paris to expedite the deal. Napoli's directors are also working diligently from their Castel di Sangro training retreat to reach an agreement with PSG.

The club plans to bring in Lukaku as soon as Osimhen’s transfer is finalised, and the Nigerian striker has reportedly agreed to a five-year deal with PSG, worth around €14 million net per season.
