Victor Osimhen, a Nigerian striker currently playing for Napoli, is expected to earn €50 million (N43 billion) if he signs with Paris Saint-Germain during this transfer window. Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis anticipates a million-dollar offer for the player and believes PSG is the only team that can afford the international player.
In 32 league appearances last season, Osimhen scored 26 goals and provided five assists, making him the first African to win the famous Capocannoniere title given to Serie A’s top scorer. His performance helped the Partenopei win the league for the first time in more than three decades.

Other elite teams, including Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich, withdrew from talks for Osimhen due to De Laurentiis’ high asking price.
Osimhen was reportedly the subject of a €120 million offer from PSG last week, which the defending Serie A champions turned down.
Numerous reports claim that Napoli valued Osimhen at €150 million, and no club is now prepared to pay that demand.
According to De Laurentiis, only one team in the entire world could afford Victor Osimhen, and that was Paris Saint-Germain.
“We’ll see what happens if (PSG president) Nasser Al Khelaifi makes a bid of about €200 million.” Victor will probably stay here, in my opinion.
Although Kylian Mbappe has not yet agreed to play in Saudi Arabia, Sky Sports reports that PSG and Al-Hilal have reached a €300 million agreement for the Frenchman. If Mbappe decides to depart, Osimhen would make a great substitute.
The 24-year-old could earn €50 million as the team’s star if he joins Napoli, according to elfutbolero.us, but Osimhen is not keen on heading to Ligue 1.
