French giants Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly made significant progress in their attempts to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli.
Osimhen could be on his way to PSG according to latest reports coming out of Italy.
The 25-year-old Super Eagles and Napoli man is expected to leave Serie A this summer, with European heavyweights Chelsea, and PSG at the forefront.
Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori described Super Eagles and Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as annoying to defend against.
Osimhen to repace Mbappe at PSG?
Valued at approximately €130 million, Osimhen’s release clause is a non-negotiable for club president, Aurelien De Laurentiis, but PSG and Chelsea appear to be willing to match that figure.
Kylian Mbappe has announced he will leave the capital club at the end of the season, with a move to Real Madrid reportedly lined up.
His departure will create a huge vacuum and Italian outlet Gazzetta reports that Parisians have stolen a march on Chelsea in the race to sign Osimhen.
Chelsea remain firmly in the race but must tread with caution in a bid to comply with FFP rules.
Osimhen has scored 17 goals in 31 appearances for Napoli this season.
