Victor Osimhen: PSG set to offload their biggest stars to accommodate signing of Super Eagles star

Paris Saint-Germain are looking to sell Randal Kolo Muani to make room for Victor Osimhen before launching a bid for the Napoli star.

Kolo Muani left Eintracht Frankfurt to join PSG for an estimated €95 million, at the beginning of the previous campaign. 

The French international has only managed nine goals in 40 games which has triggered the Ligue 1 winners to consider selling him.

Osimhen wants to leave Napoli this summer and has been heavily linked with Fench giant Paris Saint-Germain.

PSG to make room for Osimhen

Luis Enrique needs a striker who can consistently produce goals to replace Kylian Mbappe who joined Real Madrid on a free transfer. 

However, they have to create space for the Super Eagles star in the team and are looking to offload Kolo Muani.

Kolo Muani’s sale could fund Osimhen’s transfer to PSG, with the club currently looking to let him leave this summer.

Corriere Dello Sport reported that Osimhen would fit right in with the concepts of Luis Enrique and Luis Campos, the club's sports director, who has known him since he was a teenager.

Luis Campos was a key member of the group that helped Osimhen move from FC Charleroi to LOSC Lille in 2019, and should the transaction go through, he will play a major role in getting the Nigerian striker to Paris.

Campos said, “I went to Lagos to see the Under-17 World Championship. After seeing him in one game he had convinced me.

“I called my CEO every night to take him, I told him that within two years he would become one of the best in Europe, but the price was too high for a seventeen-year-old and finally went to Wolfsburg. 

In the last twenty meters, Osimhen is like a cat when you throw a ball at him, it’s incredible, he attacks them all.”

Napoli have placed a 130 million dollar release clause on the Super Eagles star which has pushed top clubs away from making a move.

Napoli and Paris Saint-Germain get along well because of Luis Enrique's previous relationship in previous years.
