Naples appears poised to entertain the departure of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen in the upcoming summer transfer window. Despite the extension of Osimhen’s contract until June 2026, Napoli seems open to parting ways with the prolific scorer, aligning with the interests of PSG and other suitors, including Chelsea.
PSG, currently contemplating the potential departure of Kylian Mbappé at the end of the season, has identified Victor Osimhen as a prime target to bolster their attacking lineup.
The pathway to securing the Nigerian international might prove smoother for the Parisian club, given Napoli’s readiness to consider Osimhen’s exit.
Aurelio De Laurentiis, the outspoken president of Napoli, has been unequivocal about Osimhen’s future, acknowledging the player’s aspirations beyond Naples.
This clarity was reflected in the lengthy negotiations leading to Osimhen’s contract extension in December 2026. De Laurentiis’s statement, as reported by Foot01, hinted at Osimhen’s desire for a new chapter in his career.
“We knew how it was going to end; otherwise, the negotiations for its extension would not have taken so long.”
Victor Osimhen, 25, has showcased his goal-scoring prowess with Napoli this season, featuring in 18 matches and delivering an impressive record of 8 goals and 2 assists.
As PSG and other potential suitors circle around the talented striker, the summer transfer window could witness a significant shift in Osimhen’s career trajectory, with Naples signaling openness to parting ways with their prolific forward.
The unfolding saga adds an intriguing layer to the upcoming transfer market dynamics, with PSG and Chelsea closely monitoring Osimhen’s future endeavors.
