PSG eyes Osimhen amid Al-Hilal's bid

Posted : 25 July 2023

The transfer saga surrounding Victor Osimhen and Kylian Mbappe has reached a critical juncture, with Paris Saint-Germain inching closer to the possibility of parting ways with their French superstar, Kylian Mbappe.

Tensions have escalated in the past few days as PSG and Mbappe have been embroiled in a contract-transfer drama.

It appears that PSG senses Mbappe's reluctance to sign a new deal, which has led the French champions to take a bold step by listing him for sale.

Notably, they have excluded Mbappe from their pre-season tour, raising speculations about his potential departure.

With only one year left on his current contract, PSG fears that he might be eyeing a free transfer to Real Madrid next summer, fueling their decision to put him on the transfer market.

PSG firmly believes that Mbappe has already reached an agreement with Real Madrid, with a contract ready to be signed, adding to the intensity of the situation.

The transfer saga has attracted the attention of several clubs, with at least five, including English Premier League sides, expressing their interest in acquiring Kylian Mbappe.

In a stunning development, former Saudi Arabia champions Al-Hilal have made an audacious formal bid to PSG, valuing it at an astonishing €300 million. This bid sets a new record for a transfer fee and adds further intrigue to Mbappe's potential destination.

While Al-Hilal's colossal bid may be tempting, it remains uncertain whether Mbappe will accept a move to Asia and leave behind the elite footballing stage in Europe.

If PSG manages to offload Mbappe to Al-Hilal, they are expected to use a significant portion of the funds received to finance a blockbuster move for Napoli's Victor Osimhen.

PSG has previously attempted to secure Osimhen's services with a €100 million bid, but the Italian champions turned down the offer.

Undeterred, PSG remains determined to acquire the services of the Super Eagles striker and may be willing to double their bid to persuade Napoli to part ways with Osimhen.

As for Osimhen, the Nigeria international seems to have reservations about leaving Napoli for France.

Despite PSG's interest, Osimhen has already resumed pre-season training with the Italian club, signaling his commitment to Napoli.

However, it is no secret that his preferred destination is the English Premier League, keeping the door open for potential developments in the transfer window.
