Clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain are interested in the services of Osimhen this summer.

According to the reports on Complete Sports and Daily Post, De Laurentiis made it clear that he wants Osimhen to remain at the club stressing that he would only sell him for the right price.

De Laurentiis speaks about Osimhen

“We will see Victor Osimhen wearing our shirt next season, that’s for sure.
“Then if a ‘more than indecent proposal’ arrives, we will move on and find another top talent, as we did with Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen.”

Meanwhile, Osimhen has been in Lagos since June where he is spending his holidays ahead of the coming season.

PSG wants Victor Osimhen

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how 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 a replacement for Karim Benzema, who has moved to the Saudi Arabian League.

Those in charge of Paris Saint-Germain feel that Osimhen would be a perfect replacement for Mbappe.
