SSC Napoli has reportedly reduced its asking price for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen from the previously set €130 million release clause, as the club seeks to finalize his sale before the closing of the transfer window. This decision, revealed by Fabrice Hawkins, comes as Napoli accelerates efforts to complete the deal.
Key Points:
– Potential Destinations: Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Chelsea have been informed of the revised pricing. PSG is understood to be Osimhen’s preferred destination, though they have yet to make a move. Osimhen reportedly has reservations about a transfer to Chelsea.
– Saudi Arabian Interest: Osimhen is also in discussions with Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli. However, there are discrepancies regarding salary, and no agreement has been reached as of now.
– Agent’s Statement: Osimhen’s agent has suggested on X (formerly Twitter) that the striker is focused on his European career, which may imply that a move to a European club is still a possibility.
With the European transfer window closing on August 30, there is a tight deadline for Osimhen’s transfer negotiations to conclude.
