Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) remains undeterred by the release clause embedded in the contract of Napoli sensation, Victor Osimhen.

Reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport (via TMW) indicate that PSG revealed Osimhen as a prime candidate to fill Mbappe’s shoes, with the Nigerian striker reportedly topping the Parisiens’ list of potential replacements.

Despite Napoli’s hefty release clause standing at €130 million, PSG shows no signs of hesitation.

The clause, stipulating a one-time payment, fails to deter the French giants from pursuing the talented forward.

Furthermore, PSG appears unperturbed by Osimhen’s current wage of €10 million per season, emphasizing their determination to secure the player’s services.

However, PSG may encounter a hurdle in fulfilling Osimhen’s desire to ply his trade in the English Premier League.

The Nigerian striker is reportedly keen on a move to England, where several clubs are vying for his signature, potentially complicating PSG’s pursuit.

The 25-year-old spent a season in France with Lille before joining Napoli for African record fee of €70m.

Victor Osimhen, who is the reigning African footballer of the year, scored 18 goals for Lille and won Marc-Vivien Foe award for the best African player in French Ligue.
