After confirming earlier this week that Victor Osimhen will more than likely stay put at Napoli next season, club president Aurelio De Laurentiis couldn’t help but flirt with the idea of getting €200m for their prized possession.
Neither Victor Osimhen himself nor his employers have given any indication that they intend to part ways this summer, following a momentous title-winning season – Napoli’s first since Diego Maradona brought the Scudetto to southern Italy.
Just this week, the Napoli president said that we will see Osimhen “wearing our shirt next season for sure,” after the player himself said he has now become addicted to winning silverware after lifting his first ever trophy as a pro, and that he intends to win more in Naples.
De Laurentiis has not shied away from the eventuality of a monstrous bid from a long line of Osimhen’s potential suitors, and followed up his earlier comments by saying he would only think about cashing in if a “more than indecent proposal'”came his way.
Chelsea, Manchester United, Real Madrid and PSG are all said to be interested in the Nigerian, with each team scurrying to find a proven number nine before the season resumes.
Strikers, particularly of Osimhen’s calibre, are few and far between in the current market, making them invaluable assets. Napoli’s president is certainly no stranger to this fact, and the notoriously tough negotiator has claimed only club in world football can afford Napoli’s current valuation.
“The only club that could afford Victor Osimhen is Paris Saint-Germain,” De Laurentiis told Mediaset in Italy.
“If [PSG president] Nasser Al Khelaifi wants to send in a bid around €200m…we wait and we see what happens. I personally think that Victor will stay here.”
In what would result in one of the most dramatic transfer domino effects ever witnessed, the likelihood of PSG having to sell Kylian Mbappe this summer looks increasingly likely to ensure they don’t allow him to leave for free next year.
This would provide the Parisians with more than enough capital to match De Laurentiis proposed €200m valuation for Osimhen, if they were to register concrete interest.
