PSG abandon pursuit of Victor Osimhen

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have officially withdrawn from negotiations to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen after failing to reach an agreement on the transfer fee.

Despite reaching a personal agreement with the Nigerian international, the French champions have opted to explore other options after Napoli refused to lower their asking price of €130m.

According to L’Equipe, PSG are now considering “not changing clubs” and could explore other options.

The French champions are looking to improve their forward squad, which includes Ousmane Dembélé and Randal Kolo-Muani.

The decision comes at a critical time for PSG, who are in urgent need of a striker following the departure of Kylian Mbappé.

PSG coach Luis Enrique will also have to deal with Goncalo Ramos’ injury, which is expected to keep the Portuguese forward out for up to three months.
