Napoli sets new price tag for Victor Osimhen amid fresh interest from European giants
Victor Osimhen’s departure from Napoli on a permanent deal is no longer a question of “if” but “when,” especially following the dramatic events of the past summer transfer window.
The Nigerian forward, who has been vocal about his desire to leave the Serie A club, saw multiple transfer opportunities collapse as interested suitors failed to meet Napoli’s steep valuation.
The surge of interest in Osimhen during the summer prompted Napoli to reassess his price tag, initially set at around €120 million, eventually lowering it to €75 million.
Now, with the winter transfer window approaching and Osimhen’s exceptional form on loan at Galatasaray reigniting interest, fresh reports suggest that Napoli has once again revised their asking price for the prolific striker.
Napoli review Osimhen’s asking price
According to a report from Transfer expert, Nicolo Schira, Napoli has increased its asking price for Osimhen from €75 million to €81 million.
The upward revision reportedly stems from speculation linking French giants Paris Saint-Germain with a move for the Nigerian forward.
PSG is said to be in the market for attacking reinforcements following the underwhelming performances of their current front line, as detailed by media outlet, Football Transfer.
Interestingly, the additional €6 million included in Napoli’s valuation is expected to compensate Galatasaray should the Italian club decide to recall Osimhen from his loan in Istanbul.
This development coincides with comments from Galatasaray president, Dursun Özbek, who recently hinted at the possibility of the Napoli loanee extending his stay at the Turkish club.
The uncertainty surrounding Osimhen’s future sets the stage for another intriguing transfer saga, as the prolific forward’s next move remains to be seen.
