Victor Osimhen’s summer transfer is anticipated to be contested by Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United.
According to a recent report in La Gazzetta dello Sport, Aurelio de Laurentiis will work to ensure that Osimhen’s contract with Napoli is extended at the end of the current campaign. His current contract expires in the summer of 2025, and his yearly salary is €4.3 million.
Napoli would need to surpass the €6 million per season barrier in order to persuade him, but prospective suitors are anticipated to pay him a greater figure. PSG will also want to catch up to Manchester United in the race, although the Red Devils are currently in the lead.
Victor Osimhen was valued at €100 million by De Laurentiis last summer, but after this season’s performances, that figure has increased to €150 million. Arsenal had already made inquiries, and Newcastle United has also made an approach that was declined. Taking into account their probable new ownership, United might go all-in for Osimhen.
Since their time together at Lille, Luis Campos of PSG still likes him a lot, and the French team has already dealt with the Partenopei for Fabian Ruiz. Osimhen won’t cost anywhere like what PSG paid for Fabian Ruiz, but they are actively pursuing the Nigerian.
