Victor Osimhen Stays at Napoli Despite PSG Interest and Transfer Drama

The summer transfer window closed with much anticipation, especially surrounding the saga of Victor Osimhen. Initially rumored to be leaving Napoli, the Nigerian striker ultimately decided to remain with the Azzurri. Despite his interest in a move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), no club could reach an agreement with the Serie A side for the 25-year-old forward.

Osimhen’s Interest in PSG

Victor Osimhen had indicated his willingness to consider a move to several clubs, with PSG being a prime candidate. According to reports, the former LOSC star was open to a return to Ligue 1. However, exclusive insights revealed that the Parisian club no longer saw him as a viable option for their squad.

Drama Unfolds in Naples

As the transfer deadline approached, Chelsea and Al-Ahli pushed hard to secure Osimhen’s services. Unfortunately for both teams, they were unable to navigate the complexities surrounding the transfer. Napoli complicated matters further by demanding an additional €5 million above the initially agreed price in the final hours of the window. This failure to finalize the deal led to a significant rift between the Azzurri’s management and Osimhen, resulting in the player being excluded from Antonio Conte’s squad.
