Osimhen Spotted in Paris Amidst Napoli Exit Rumours, As Al Hilal’s Interest Emerges

• Victor Osimhen and Napoli are in a standoff over extending his contract owing to a clause
• There are possibilities of the Nigerian departing Estadio Diego Armando Maradona this summer
• He was spotted in Paris with rumours previously linking him to PSG, and now Saudi Arabia's interest has emerged

Victor Osimhen could be on his way out of Napoli this summer, and two destinations have emerged, including being an alternative for Kylian Mbappe in Saudi Arabia.

The Nigerian helped the Neapolitans to their first Italian Serie A title in 33 years last summer and caught the attention of top European clubs, including the Premier League.

Club president Aurelio De Laurentiis in an attempt to keep him at the club, has valued him over €100m, scaring off some of his potential suitors, with clubs looking out for cheaper alternatives.

Goal UK reports that there is a standoff in contract extension negotiations after the club insisted on inserting a release clause of £173m in his new deal, which might potentially scare off potential suitors.

New destinations emerge for Osimhen

Reports from the Italian media via Football Italia claim the Nigerian was spotted in Paris, which swells rumours of a move to PSG even though it is believed the trip is not transfer related.

However, the Athletic reported that PSG launched a £42.8m move for Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund, who is also a target for Manchester United. If the deal is accepted, it would end any potential interest in Osimhen.

Mbappe has been the talk of the town after Al-Hilal sent a world record fee to the French capital club, which was accepted, but the player refused to negotiate despite being offered a total salary of €700m for a year contract.

L'Equipe reports that the Saudis will turn their attention to the 24-year-old Serie A golden boot winner if the deal for the French international falls through.

Garcia speaks on Osimhen's future

Sports Brief reported that Napoli's new head coach Rudi Garcia is not ruling out Osimhen's departure though he admitted the player is calm and fully focused on the new season.

Garcia replaced title-winning manager Luciano Spalletti after the 64-year-old walked away due to a clash with De Laurentiis, who publicly confirmed a contract extension despite the manager making clear his decision to leave.
