PSG use player exchanges to target Napoli star Osimhen

According to RMC Sport in France, Paris Saint-Germain have made Victor Osimhen their number one target for this summer and hope to lower the price-tag by giving Napoli Mauro Icardi and Leandro Paredes.

The striker has already attracted huge interest from the Premier League, with the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal interested in the Nigeria international.

Today’s report confirms that Osimhen would prefer going to England, but is open for a return to Ligue 1 with Champions League chasing PSG.

It would also be a reunion with former LOSC director Luis Campos, the man who discovered Osimhen and sold him to Napoli for €75m plus bonuses in September 2020.

Napoli have set an absolute minimum price-tag of €100m for Osimhen, probably closer to €120m, and it is reported that PSG hope to lower that figure by offering players in exchange.

They include former Inter striker Icardi and midfielder Paredes, who is currently on loan at Juventus, a deal that will not be made permanent.

Icardi is currently on loan with Galatasaray.
