French giants Paris Saint-Germain are in a tug-of-war with star player Kylian Mbappe and have identified Napoli's Victor Osimhen as a worthy replacement.
PSG are resigned to losing Kylian Mbappe and have identified Nigeria and Napoli superstar striker Victor Osimhen as the perfect replacement.
PSG ready to replace Mbappe with Osimhen
According to Diario AS, PSG will push hard for Osimhen this summer as the Parisians look to turn the page on the Mbappe saga.
The Nigerian striker was in delightful form last season, scoring 31 goals in all competitions and leading Napoli to their first Scudetto triumph in over 30 years.
Napoli have maintained their stance that their top-scorer is not for sale but are believed to be looking for a fee in excess of €150m to part ways with the 24-year-old.
In a recent interview, Napoli president de Laurentiis said:
“We will see Victor Osimhen wearing our shirt next season, that’s for sure, and if a ‘more than indecent proposal arrives, we will move on and find another top talent as we did with Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen”.
