Transfer: PSG set to table bumper £133m bid to oust Osimhen’s suitors

Victor Osimhen, who has 26 goals this season, has been an important member of Luciano Spaletti’s team as they strive for their first Serie A victory since 1990

Ligue 1 side, Paris Saint-German, are reportedly ready to meet SSC Napoli’s asking price to secure the signature of Nigerian international, Victor Osimhen.

Soccernet.ng understands that the Nigerian has been linked to a number of teams, including Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich, all of whom are eager to add him to their squads after seeing how well he has played for the Gli Azzurri so far.

But according to Football Insider, the big-spending French club is prepared to outbid other major European teams for Osimhen by offering a staggering €150 million (£133 million) to bring the Super Eagles’ star to Le Parc des Princes.

However, Thierry Henry and Austin Jay Jay Okocha, two football greats, have recommended the Nigerian to think about moving to an English Premier League team like Arsenal, Chelsea, or Manchester United, where they are actively seeking a primary striker.

Didier Drogba, who he considers to be his idol, has lately suggested to the former LOSC Lille player not to sign with the Blues. Noting that for Osimhen’s continuing development, it is not the best match.

At Bayern Munich, where they have missed the physicality of a striker since the departure of Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona, it is thought that the Nigerian would do remarkably well under Thomas Tuchel’s tutelage.

When the summer transfer market opens, Napoli, who paid over €75 million to buy the striker, may be inclined to negotiate with the French team in order to earn a sizable profit from the transaction.
