PSG are reportedly set to pay whatever it takes to snatch Victor Osimhen from Napoli this summer as Kylian Mbappe's replacement.

Osimhen is set to resume playing for Napoli this weekend following Nigeria's AFCON Final loss to Ivory Coast on Sunday. 

The 25-year-old striker, with 8 goals in 18 appearances this season, extended his Napoli contract until June 2026.

Osimhen to replace Mbappe at PSG?

According to La Repubblica, PSG will be ready to offer the fee Napoli are looking for, reported to be around €120m.

Osimhen signed trillion-naira deal with Napoli until 2026

The French champions are preparing for life after star man Kylian Mbappe, who is moving closer to a move to Real Madrid.

Osimhen will certainly be the perfect replacement, and he has shown that he can shoulder the goalscoring burden as he did last season, netting 31 times in all competitions.

There is also interest in the reigning African Footballer of the Year, from England and Spain, and the summer window promises to be an intriguing one.
