Following Mbappe’s departure, Paris Saint-Germain have been exploring the market for a replacement and Al-Khelaifi appears keen to secure the arrival of Ancelotti’s sought-after player.
Mbappe’s departure was a source of great pain for Paris, as one of the best players in the world left for Real Madrid for free. In light of this, Al-Khelaifi did not hesitate to start shaping the future of the French club, with a firm idea to start a new project.
For this reason, the first step was to find the best possible “replacement” for Mbappe in order to complete the construction of the project that the French club began years ago.
In this way, Paris Saint-Germain, as already announced in France, has an agreement with Osimhen, but the agreement with Napoli still has not been concluded yet.
According to the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central: In Italy they say that Napoli wants 130 million euros as a release clause in the player’s contract, but Paris will not pay this amount to and is trying to bring the number closer to 100 million. Osimhen was one of the names, along with Kane, that Ancelotti proposed a year ago when he left. Benzema.
The newspaper added: For this reason, Al-Khelaifi chose the player who was among Real Madrid’s interests. This is a small “revenge” for the president of Paris Saint-Germain for Mbappe’s departure to the Bernabeu.
The newspaper continued: But despite this, Osimhen remains far from the level and offensive ability of Mbappe, in addition to the huge spending that Al-Khelaifi must provide to reach an agreement with Napoli.
After many rumors about the possible signing of the Paris Saint-Germain star, Osimhen appears to be the chosen one to be the new leader of the Parisian team’s attack.
Last summer, Ancelotti wanted to sign Osimhen, who is closer than ever to leaving for Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
