PSG Targets Victor Osimhen as Replacement for Departing Mbappe, Premier League Clubs Interested

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is in search of a replacement for Kylian Mbappe, who has informed the club of his decision to leave in the summer. Mbappe, 25, will be departing PSG when his contract expires at the end of the season. PSG has identified Victor Osimhen as a potential target to fill the void left by Mbappe. Osimhen, who currently plays for Napoli, was instrumental in their Serie A title win last season, scoring 31 goals in 39 appearances. The 25-year-old Nigerian forward is known for his presence, pace, strength, and goal-scoring ability, making him one of the top strikers in Europe. Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea have also been linked with a move for Osimhen as they seek to strengthen their forward lines. However, Osimhen has expressed his satisfaction with his current club, stating that he has a good relationship with the president and his family. While he has aspirations to play in the Premier League in the future, he currently has other plans for his career. Osimhen is set to return to action for Napoli this weekend after his participation in the African Cup of Nations with Nigeria. PSG's potential signing of Osimhen would be a significant blow to the Premier League clubs interested in him.
