Victor Osimhen is subject of a shock €200 million transfer bid from PSG that will attempt to secure the future of the Napoli striker, who has emerged as one of the most precious players on the market this summer.
Arsenal and Chelsea have both been linked with a move for the 25-year-old Nigeria hitman, yet Napoli’s insistence that they would have to pay the full value of his €130m release fee to secure his services has put both Premier League giants off.
As such, a move to the Saudi Pro League appeared to beckon for Osimhen, who still harbours a dream of playing in the Premier League.
A compromise may just be found by PSG, though. The Ligue 1 club have come up with a new offer worth €200m – but it is unlikely to be one that Napoli are happy with.

Napoli to knock back astronomical PSG offer
PSG are ready to go all in on Napoli duo Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, according to Corriere dello Sport.
The Italian source reports that the Parc des Princes club are ready to offer €200m for the pair, offering the Serie A club the opportunity to break the deadlock that has emerged with Osimhen in recent weeks.

Napoli, though, will not do a deal.
While Osimhen is available for sale, the Italian club has repeatedly stated that no deal is possible for Kvaratskhelia, who Napoli have reiterated on numerous occasions is not for sale.
Indeed, PSG even put €110m on offer the Georgia international winger in June, but this was knocked back for the 2022/23 Serie A champions. Now they are only offering €90m more to include Osimhen in that deal, too.
Despite Napoli’s delicate position with the Nigeria ace, who has been promised a summer transfer, there is no prospect of this offer being accepted.
Lukaku ready to step in for Osimhen
Romelu Lukaku, meanwhile, is poised to replace Osimhen at Napoli if and when a deal is struck.
The Chelsea outcast has already agreed terms with the Italian club and has made no secret of his desire to hook up once again with Antonio Conte once again.
Lukaku even liked Napoli’s announcement of the purchase of Leonardo Spinazzola via his social channels.
