Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are reportedly prepared to table an exorbitant offer to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as a replacement for Real Madrid target Kylian Mbappe.
The Parisians are in the midst of a turmoil after their striker confirmed that he has no intention of extending his deal beyond 2024. Hence, they are keen to sell the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner this summer.
According to PSG Community, Real Madrid are willing to dish out a fee worth €200 million plus €50 million in bonuses to snap up the forward.
Meanwhile, the Ligue 1 champions have identified Osimhen as the replacement for the 24-year-old Frenchman. They are willing to table an initial offer of €120 million for the Nigerian superstar, but Napoli are said to be valuing him at around €180 million, as per Todofichajes.
Osimhen, 24, has emerged as one of the most in-demand forwards since the turn of the year due to his role in Napoli’s Serie A triumph last season. He scored 31 goals and laid out five assists in 39 games across all competitions for Gli Azzurri last time around.
Apart from PSG, the ex-Lille man has also been linked with Manchester United, Chelsea and Bayern Munich of late.
In comparison, Mbappe registered a whopping 41 goals and contributed 10 assists in 43 overall appearances during the 2022-23 season.
