Victor Osimhen may not be joining PSG: Napoli’s demands are high, and the Italian club even suggested a swap deal involving Kang In Lee.
Napoli, as usual, is being difficult. Every summer, when PSG targets a Napoli player, the Italian club tends to overprice their demands. According to Foot Mercato, Napoli is unwilling to negotiate significantly below the release clause of €130 million. However, Paris is not willing to pay above €80 million.
« Paris Saint-Germain does not want to offer more than €80 million. Although Napoli is willing to accept less than the release clause, they will not go below €110 million, or even €105 million, » Foot Mercato reports.
Osimhen Requests Clarity on Striker Position
Napoli has proposed a deal involving €90 million plus South Korean attacking midfielder Kang-In Lee. « Napoli even suggested a deal to PSG: €90 million plus Kang-In Lee, a player Conte is very interested in among potential departures from the Parisian squad. However, PSG’s management rejected this option, » Foot Mercato adds.
Another issue is Victor Osimhen’s reluctance to move to PSG, given the already crowded striker position. « The problem is that PSG already has two players set to play the central attacking role, Gonçalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani. Both are expected to stay this summer, knowing they have a chance to shine, » Foot Mercato explains. This situation is currently blocking the Nigerian, who would prefer a clearer path in his position.
