Blow for Manchester United and PSG as Napoli start Osimhen contract talks
Napoli want to tie their Scudetto-winning hero Victor Osimhen to a longer contract to ward off interest from the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and PSG

Speaking on the price tag, Bayern’s director Kahn said;

“That would definitely be a big risk,” he added according to the reliable transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano.
