Paris Saint Germain have reportedly turned their attention to Victor Osimhen, due to the potential departure of Kylian Mbappe.

Reports emerged during the week that Mbappe has informed PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi that he will exit the club at the end of the 2023/24 season as a free agent.

Given the likelihood that Kylian Mbappe will exit the club in the summer of 2024, the Parisians are intensifying efforts towards finding a replacement for the Frenchman.

Osimhen will also reportedly exit Napoli at the end of the season, with club president Aurelio De Laurentiis also confirming the speculation.

Speaking in an interview in January 2024, De Laurentiis said: “We’ve known all this since last summer, which is also why negotiations for the extension of his contract, although friendly, took so long.

“We know he’s either going to Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain or an English club.”

Victor Osimhen has had a topsy-turvy season with the Neapolitans this campaign, as he has been shrouded with issues on and off the pitch.

The 25-year-old has scored 8 goals and provided 3 assists in 18 appearances for Napoli across all competitions this campaign.

The departure of Mbappe will ease up nearly €200 million financial commitment from Paris Saint Germain, and that could enable them to sign the Nigeria international.

Kylian Mbappe is desirous of a move to Real Madrid, having previously indicated his interest in playing for the club.

Several clubs are said to be keen on getting his services, given the fact that he will be going to any club that signs him on a free transfer.

Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Chelsea, and Real Madrid are some notable clubs that have been linked to the 25-year-old.

The France national team captain hasn't dwindled in his abilities, as he has scored 31 goals and provided 7 assists in 30 appearances this season.

Meanwhile, several individuals have waded in on reports linking Mbappe to Real Madrid in the summer of 2024, including tennis great Rafael Nadal.

Nadal, who is a staunch fan of Los Blancos, expressed that Kylian Mbappe will come into the Real Madrid setup, to make them better.

He said: “I would sign Kylian Mbappe for Real Madrid. Real Madrid have a super team, beyond the disaster of injuries this year.

“With Mbappe they would be even better, if I could contribute to the club in any way I would.”

The Kylian Mbappe transfer saga will continue to be talked about at least until he pens a deal with another team.

He is a player that virtually every team in Europe will want to have in their fold, and due to him leaving Paris Saint for free, the onus lies on him to choose his next destination.
