Napoli move on with Lukaku, Osimhen waits for PSG
Despite Osimhen's apparent eagerness to join PSG, the deal has stalled, with the French club unwilling to meet Napoli's staggering €120 million valuation of the 25-year-old.
The news will come as a major blow to Osimhen, who had given the green light to move to the Parc des Princes this summer.
However, it seems Napoli's lofty demands have proved to be a significant stumbling block in the negotiations.
With Osimhen's future at the club hanging in the balance, Napoli have moved swiftly to secure the services of Lukaku, who spent last season on loan at Roma from Chelsea.
The Belgian striker, who has endured a tumultuous spell at Stamford Bridge, is now set to continue his Serie A adventure with the Partenopei, as they prepare for life without their Nigerian talisman.
The report by Fabrizio Romano suggests that Napoli have already reached an agreement in principle with Chelsea for Lukaku's transfer, with the move now seemingly dependent on the outcome of the Osimhen saga.
This latest development is sure to leave Osimhen's suitors, including the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, Real Madrid, and Manchester United, disappointed, as the attacker's dream move to PSG appears to have hit a wall.
Napoli, meanwhile, who are pressing ahead with their plans, to secure a suitable replacement for their prized asset should he ultimately depart the club this summer, are advised to be reasonable with their demands.
With the transfer window in full swing, the battle for Osimhen's signature is sure to continue, but Napoli's pursuit of Lukaku could prove to be a game-changer in the ongoing saga.
