Serie A champions, Napoli, are anticipating a €120 million bid from Ligue 1 powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain for Nigerian international Victor Osimhen this summer.
The prolific Super Eagles striker has attracted the attention of PSG, who previously made a substantial bid for him last summer, only to be rebuffed by Napoli, unwilling to part with their prized asset.

With PSG’s Kylian Mbappe likely departing Les Parisiens at the end of the season, the French giants are eyeing either Osimhen or AC Milan’s Rafael Leao as his replacement.
According to Repubblica newspaper per Football Italia, “Napoli expect a €120m offer for Victor Osimhen in the summer, but the Ligue 1 giants also want to invest the same fee in Milan star Rafael Leao.”
The report further suggests that Napoli would entertain the idea of selling Osimhen should they receive an offer from PSG. The 25-year-old was Napoli’s standout performer last season, netting 26 goals and clinching the Golden Boot en route to their first Scudetto in 33 years.
