Victor Osimhen, Nigeria’s international soccer star, is expected to complete his transfer from Napoli to Paris Saint-Germain on or before Thursday, according to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport.
Speculations were rife over the weekend that the French Champions are ‘close to unblocking the deal’ for Osimhen with Napoli reportedly ready to give a slight discount on Osimhen’s €130m release clause.
According to Football Italia, the Parisian giants have decided to fully focus on a deal for the 25-year-old Nigerian striker and have been in close contact with Partenopei president Aurelio De Laurentiis and the player’s agent Roberto Calenda in recent days.
On Saturday, Osimhen missed the club’s second pre-season friendly as the coach Antonio Conte-led side beat Mantova 3-0, following their earlier 4-0 win against Anaune Val di Non in the first pre-season game.
But yesterday, Football Italia reported that Corriere dello Sport detailed how Napoli are hoping to sell Osimhen to PSG by Thursday next week, allowing them to finally pull the trigger on the deal with Chelsea for Lukaku, who is waiting to be reunited with Antonio Conte.
