Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has shown interest in Victor Osimhen for some time and had hoped to recruit him during the last offseason. Despite his recent contract extension, agent Dario Canovi has stated that Osimhen is still expected to leave Napoli next summer.
Osimhen signed a contract extension with Napoli until June 2026 on December 23rd. The deal includes a buyout clause of €128M that will be effective at the end of each season.
According to Canovi, PSG should not be concerned about Osimhen’s contract extension with Napoli. Despite the extension, he is expected to leave the club at the end of the season, whether it is to Paris or another destination.
Canovi explained, “Napoli has been struggling since the beginning of the season. In my opinion, the departures of (Luciano) Spalletti and (Cristiano) Giuntoli are the cause of what is happening. Letting both of them go, the club has been practically decimated, they were the cornerstones of the winning Napoli. Giuntoli and especially Spalletti. Osimhen’s renewal is simply a way to increase the price. In my opinion, he will leave in June,”
This news has generated excitement among PSG fans who eagerly anticipate the possibility of Osimhen joining their team. If Canovi’s words hold true, PSG could be looking at a significant addition to their squad in the upcoming season.
As speculation continues about Osimhen’s future, it appears increasingly likely that PSG could become the destination for the Nigerian forward. His potential transfer could have a substantial impact on European football.
The anticipation surrounding Osimhen’s future underscores the impact he has made in the football world. As the transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on developments regarding his next move. PSG and their supporters eagerly await the opportunity to welcome Victor Osimhen to the Parc des Princes.
