Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, is poised to make a highly-anticipated move to one of Europe's top clubs this summer.

Having caught the attention of giants like Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, and Arsenal, the 25-year-old's destination has been the subject of debate for several months.

Many football pundits and reporters have weighed in on where the Nigerian should next feature but at this time, no reports have been confirmed.

PSG reportedly shortlisted the forward as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappé, who is rumoured to be Real Madrid-bound, per ESPN.

The French giants are reportedly willing to pay €90 million, but Napoli wants Osimhen's full release clause, billed at €130 million, to be paid out.

Napoli President, Aurelio De Laurentiis, labelled him a 'great player' and insisted only a 'very big amount of money' would secure the transfer.

He also sent potential suitors a warning, stating that the club are in a strong financial position and will, therefore, not be forced into a cut-price sale.

Agent Mezi discusses Osimhen's next move

Albanian agent, Serxhio Mezi, believes the Nigerian will likely join the Parisians this coming transfer window, despite solid interest from the Premier League.

"The Nigerian will leave; he will join Paris. I know that Napoli is interested in Albion Rahmani, who plays in Albania," Mezi said, as quoted by CasaNapoli.

Osimhen is a high-value player.

He has scored 74 goals in 129 appearances for the former Serie A champions and is the reigning African Footballer of the Year, a feat he achieved after helping the team win their first league title in 33 years.

Osimhen hints he would cry when he leaves Napoli

Sports Brief also previously reported that Osimhen hinted he could cry when the time comes to say 'goodbye' to Napoli.

He had a historic 2022/23 season and has probably outgrown the club, who have struggled to defend the French Ligue 1 trophy.

Osimhen joined the club in 2020 and has shattered records to become a fan favourite at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
