Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is preparing to make a second bid of €120m for Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen. The French champions had their initial offer of €100m rejected in June, but the new bid surpasses the offers made by other interested clubs.
Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis values Osimhen at €150 million, a price tag that no other club seems willing to meet. De Laurentiis has dismissed other suitors, including Chelsea, Manchester United, and Real Madrid, believing PSG to be the only team capable of affording the talented striker.
While negotiations between Osimhen and Napoli for a contract extension are ongoing, PSG remains the biggest challenge for the Italian club. PSG is reportedly on the verge of submitting an offer of around €120m.
Osimhen had an impressive season, scoring 26 goals and providing five assists in 32 league appearances. His performances played a crucial role in Napoli's Serie A triumph and earned him the prestigious Capocannoniere award as the league's top scorer, making him the first African player to receive the accolade.
As Osimhen awaits the developments surrounding his future, he is set to resume pre-season training on July 19.
