In the wake of Kylian Mbappé’s departure, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is reportedly serious about securing Napoli’s Victor Osimhen. According to Italian sports daily, Corriere dello Sport, PSG’s president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is leading the charge to secure the Nigerian striker.
The Paris-based club has been thrown into the transfer market spotlight following the news of Mbappé’s impending exit from the club. The French sensation’s departure has left a colossal void upfront, raising speculation about potential replacements.
Osimhen, who is currently plying his trade at Napoli, seems to fit the bill. Having made his mark in the Serie A, the 22-year-old is viewed as one of the most promising talents in European football. His impressive scoring prowess combined with his agility and physicality makes him a suitable choice to take the mantle from Mbappé.
Al-Khelaifi recognises the skills and potential Osimhen can bring to the table, and is keen on making him a key part of PSG’s future plan. This story is still developing, and there is no confirmation from either club on a potential deal. However, PSG fans will be eagerly awaiting any updates as they hope for a successful replacement for their star player, Mbappé.
