PSG considering late swoop for Osimhen

According to a report courtesy of Italian journalist, Gianluca Di Marzio, the French club are set to re-enter negotiations for the Nigerian striker, with a new offer expected to be in the range of €50-60 million.

The decision now lies with Napoli, who also have a lucrative offer on the table from Saudi Pro League side, Al Ahli, detailed to be in the region of €60-70mil.

However, despite the interest from Saudi Arabia, Osimhen, through his agent, Roberto Calenda, has publicly rejected a move to the Middle Eastern nation.

The striker is reportedly keen on a return to the French Ligue 1, where a previous agreement with PSG was reportedly in place.
