Napoli Take Bold Stance on €75M-Rated Man Utd, PSG Target as Juventus Face Challenge | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain have had their eye on Victor Osimhen for quite some time, and with the summer transfer window approaching, talk around his next move is heating up.

Now at Galatasaray, the Nigerian striker has rediscovered the form that made him a star during the 2022-23 season. With 29 goals and six assists in 33 appearances across all competitions, Osimhen is firmly back on the radar of Europe’s top clubs.

According to GIVE ME SPORT, Manchester United are becoming increasingly concerned about PSG’s interest, with the French side reportedly out in front in the race to sign him.

PSG are in a strong financial position, capable of meeting both Osimhen’s wage demands and Galatasaray’s £63 million asking price. The report also notes that United and Chelsea view PSG as their biggest threat in the pursuit.

Napoli have made it crystal clear—they won’t make it easy for anyone to sign their star striker. If a club wants Osimhen, they must pay his full €75 million release clause.

According to Radio Kiss Kiss (h/t Calciomercato), there won’t be any negotiations or discounts, especially not for Juventus. Club president Aurelio De Laurentiis didn’t mince words, noting that Osimhen will not join the Bianconeri unless they pay his full release clause.

Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli, who was instrumental in bringing Osimhen to Napoli, hopes to reunite with the striker in Turin.

But the move is tough to pull off—not just because of the hefty transfer fee but also because of Osimhen’s salary, which is around €10 million net per year, plus bonuses.
