PSG facing challenge to convince €130m Napoli hitman Victor Osimhen to replace Real Madrid-bound Kylian Mbappe

PSG's French starboy reportedly <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kylian-mbappe-bombshell-psg-superstar-tells-parisians-he-will-leave-club-this-summer-amid-real-madrid-links/bltd128a36e015578c7" target="_blank">announced to the club on Thursday</a> that he would be leaving when his contract expires in the summer, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/when-real-madrid-announce-kylian-mbappe-transfer-date-psg-exit/blt7b673b0895ea1cb4" target="_blank">Real Madrid the likeliest</a> to land the forward. Naturally, plans are being put in place at Parc des Princes for who to replace Mbappe. Osimhen has emerged as a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/psg-plotting-raid-serie-a-napoli-victor-osimhen-ac-milan-rafael-leao/bltb59ad2529510d7ae" target="_blank">likely candidate,</a> but PSG will reportedly need to fork out €130 million (£112m/$141m) for his release clause, reports La Gazzetta dello Sport (via <a href="https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/rassegna-stampa/osimhen-in-pole-per-il-dopo-mbappe-i-la-gazzetta-i-non-spaventa-la-clausola-1936109" target="_blank">TMW</a>).

WHAT HAPPENED?

According to the report, neither that fee nor the player's €10m-a-year (£8.6m/$10.8m) wages faze the Ligue 1 giants, who have always been backed in the market by their wealthy Qatari owners. However, La Gazzetta's piece does state that Osimhen's preference may scupper their approach. The Nigerian is said to favour a move to the Premier League, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/victor-osimhen-summer-transfer-options-ranked/blt604aeac0f14c90d9" target="_blank">with the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United</a> on the hunt for forward reinforcements.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Osimhen has perhaps flirted with a move to Stamford Bridge above all. He has openly admitted that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/watch-chelsea-target-victor-osimhen-idol-didier-drogba-afcon-ivory-coast-nigeria/blt72d08df43f62709f" target="_blank">Didier Drogba is his childhood idol</a> and sent Blues fans wild <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/victor-osimhen-chelsea-napoli-surprising-response-fan/blt8f5848870f954656" target="_blank">with his response</a> to a fan asking him to "rescue" their club late last year.

DID YOU KNOW?

The ball, then, appears to be in Osimhen's court, as a host of Europe's top sides are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/dry-january-over-2024-summer-transfer-window-epic/blt8bc32f3f5f105559" target="_blank">set to battle it out for his signature in a few months' time</a>. Despite their lavish spending across two years of Todd Boehly ownership, Chelsea have been told how they can <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/how-chlesea-can-splash-out-another350-million-in-upcoming-window-despite-ffp-fears-explained/blt2c04e9b4ca1310b6#cs4e7d3984a7370907" target="_blank">spend a further £350m ($441m) in the summer</a>, meaning Osimhen will still be in their sights.
