#Napoli Victor #Osimhen A Prominent Target For #PSG To Replace #Mbappe—-Napoli striker Victor Osimhen features prominently on Paris Saint-Germain’s transfer shortlist after Kylian Mbappe informed the club of his intention to leave this summer.

Mbappe’s contract expires in June 2024 and he is set to leave the Parc des Princes as a free agent at the end of the current season.

Nigeria international Osimhen, 24, has emerged as a leading candidate to replace Mbappe at PSG, with the club weighing up a transfer approach this summer.

Osimhen joined Napoli from Lille in 2020 and has scored 67 goals in 119 appearances for the Italian club.

The Nigerian was instrumental in Napoli’s first Serie A title in 33 years last season, netting 26 times in 32 league appearances.

Osimhen began his career at German club Wolfsburg, before spending the 2018-19 campaign on loan at Belgian club Charleroi and joining Lille on a permanent deal the following season.

The striker scored 18 goals in his sole campaign at Lille before joining Napoli in a club-record fee of €70million potentially rising to €80m with add-ons.

Luis Campos, who works as a football advisor at PSG with a role in the club’s transfer recruitment, previously signed Osimhen for Lille.

Napoli club president Aurelio de Laurentiis has previously sanctioned the transfer exits of strikers Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi to PSG, while midfielder Fabian Ruiz moved to the French capital club from Napoli in 2022.

PSG are well-stocked in attacking positions, having signed strikers Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani last summer, while also adding wide forwards Ousmane Dembele and Marco Asensio from Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively, with Bradley Barcola also joining from Lyon.

PSG Set Up Arsenal Champions League Final

BREAKING: PSG Set Up Arsenal Champions League Final After 6-5 Aggregate Win Over Bayern Munich—-Reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain have secured their place in yet another UEFA Champions League final after overcoming Bayern Munich in a fiercely contested semi-final clash.

Paris Saint-Germain have booked their place in the 2026 UEFA Champions League final after edging Bayern Munich 6-5 on aggregate in a dramatic semi-final clash.

The decisive moment came early in the second leg, when Ballon d’Or holder Ousmane Dembélé fired home from close range after being picked out by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, giving PSG a crucial lead that ultimately proved to be the winner.

Despite the fast start, the game soon became defined as much by controversy as by clear-cut chances. Bayern were left frustrated after Nuno Mendes appeared to handle the ball while already on a booking, but the referee opted against issuing a second yellow card.

Further anger followed when another potential handball incident involving João Neves went unpunished, with officials ruling that the ball had deflected off a teammate in the build-up—therefore not meeting the criteria for a penalty.

Bayern, managed by Vincent Kompany, dominated large periods of the match and created several opportunities. Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala both came close, while goalkeeper Matvéi Safonov was called into action multiple times.

The German side eventually found the net through Harry Kane in stoppage time, but it proved too little, too late as PSG held on to secure their place in the final.

The result extends Bayern’s wait for another European title to six years, while PSG now have the opportunity to win back-to-back Champions League trophies, just a year after claiming their first.

Attention now turns to the final on May 30, where PSG will face Arsenal. The showdown promises high stakes, with either a historic first Champions League title for Arsenal or consecutive triumphs for the French giants on the line.

The result sees the North London club reach the Champions League final for the first time in two decades, marking a significant milestone in their European journey.

Arsenal will now face either defending champions Paris Saint-Germain or German giants Bayern Munich in the final scheduled for May 30.

This will be only the second Champions League final appearance in Arsenal’s history. Their first came in 2006, when they were narrowly defeated by FC Barcelona.

The Gunners will now be aiming to go one step further and claim their first-ever Champions League title.
