Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly seeking a €20 million discount on Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen’s release clause, amid mounting speculation that French forward, Randal Kolo Muani could make way for the Napoli star after just one year at the club.

Osimhen is anticipated to depart Napoli this summer, with reports indicating a rekindled interest from PSG.

According to Napoli Magazine, discussions have intensified between PSG’s sporting director, Luis Campos, and Osimhen’s representatives, exploring the possibility of a move.

Campos, who previously signed Osimhen for Lille in 2019, has long admired the striker’s talents since his breakout season with Sporting Charleroi in Belgium.

PSG’s interest in Osimhen includes efforts to negotiate a significant reduction in his release clause.

Despite the formidable negotiating stance of Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis, PSG sees Osimhen’s potential acquisition as a chance to improve relations between the two clubs, following previous tensions over transfer dealings, notably involving Kvaratskhelia.

Meanwhile, the potential departure of French forward, Randal Kolo Muani, who joined PSG from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023, could play a crucial role in facilitating Osimhen’s arrival.

Reports suggest Muani may exit PSG after just one season, further clearing the path for Osimhen’s potential transfer.

While Osimhen is expected to resume pre-season preparations with Napoli, discussions between the player’s camp and the club continue in earnest to resolve his future swiftly.
