Victor Osimhen has agreed to join Paris Saint-Germain this summer with the Super Eagles striker ready to make a return to France, Soccernet.ng reports.
With long-time admirers Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United priced out of a deal, PSG and Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal always looked the most likely destinations for Osimhen.
Interestingly, Osimhen has rejected multiple offers from Al-Hilal despite the Saudi giants' willingness to meet Napoli's transfer demands.
However, the Nigeria international is not opposed to a move to France even if his preferred destination is the English Premier League.
According to transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, Osimhen has given the green light to PSG, indicating his readiness to join the Parisians.
The key part of the deal remains negotiations between PSG and Napoli with the French giants requesting a discount on Osimhen's release clause of €130 million.
Feelers from Napoli, however, point to the deal getting past the final hurdle over the coming hours.
As per Tutto Napoli, Osimhen's time in Naples is as good as over as the former Lille star could leave Napoli's training camp at any moment. The 25-year-old is not expected to wear the club's shirt again.
Napoli are also not taking any risks regarding Osimhen as they left him out of their first friendly of the season on Tuesday afternoon, due to a slight muscle strain.
The Super Eagles forward has also suspended training without any official reasons, with Napoli doing their best to see him avoid getting injured.
Osimhen is not a stranger to France, where he spent a season at LOSC Lille after joining from Belgium's Royal Sporting Charleroi.
During an impressive campaign at Lille, Osimhen scored 18 goals across all competitions and won the Prix Marc-Vivien Foé as the best African footballer in Ligue 1.
