  • France international, Kylian Mbappe could be leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer
  • The French giants are now looking for a replacement for the 24-year-old
  • Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen has been named as the perfect man to replace Mbappe

Paris Saint-Germain chiefs have reportedly identified Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen as the replacement for France international, Kylian Mbappe, who is currently in Cameroon for his holidays.

Mbappe's contract at PSG will expire in June 2024 and the club's executives fear losing the former Monaco star for free if he should refuse to sign a new deal.

There have been reports that Real Madrid are ready to sign Mbappe this summer as replacement for Karim Benzema, who has moved to the Saudi Arabian League.

According to reports on Punch and Football Espana, those in charge of Paris Saint-Germain feel that Osimhen would be a perfect replacement for Mbappe.

Napoli want €100m for Osimhen

Napoli chiefs are said to have made it clear that they want a massive €100 million from any club that is interested in signing Osimhen this summer.

Osimhen's transfer value rose last season after he helped Napoli to win the Scudetto after 33 years and also finished as the top scorer in Serie A with 26 goals.

As things stand, PSG must be able to present Napoli with a mouthwatering offer for them to have the chance to sign Osimhen.

They must also be aware that clubs in the Premier League are also interested in the services of the Super Eagles strongman.

Mbappe removed from PSG poster

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how the future of Kylian Mbappe is still uncertain, and every word or action the player makes is deeply scrutinized before being splashed across the headlines.

The latest twist in the tale is the Frenchman not featuring in Paris Saint-Germain's poster for their upcoming friendly against Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr in Japan on July 25.

Mbappe's face was formerly the main feature of the promotional material published by the Parisians. However, it seems he has now been removed.
